[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution described in this patent has at least one or more of the following beneficial effects:
[0025] This patent is equipped with a feeding device, a storage bin and a sorting device to achieve full automation in storing and retrieving materials. The equipment is fully automated and can store and retrieve materials of different sizes and / or materials of different work orders at the same time. There is no need for manual operation, which reduces the labor intensity of workers, saves labor costs, and greatly improves the efficiency of material storage and retrieval. In addition, the equipment is simple in design and does not require more manufacturing costs, making it easy for customers to accept and promote.
[0026] Fully automatic intelligent sorting reduces the probability of manual sorting errors and increases sorting speed.
[0027] The storage and retrieval robot is equipped with a spring, which can not only generate clamping force to clamp the material, but also prevent the material from being damaged by the spring buffer. The clamping force can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the sensor sheet, making the clamping stable, effective, flexible and convenient, and suitable for materials of various thicknesses.
[0028] The force-controlled gripper has a simple structure and reduces the manufacturing cost. The third sensor can also detect the thickness, which is particularly convenient to use and facilitates subsequent flexible processing operations. Storage bins of different heights are set on the material rack. The material thickness detected is stored in the corresponding storage bins on the storage rack, which expands the storage capacity of the storage rack as much as possible, helps to effectively and reasonably use the storage rack and maximize utilization.
[0029] The buffer part is set up as a buffer to play a role of bidirectional adjustment. If the material on the unloading table cannot be stored on the storage rack in time, the force-controlled clamp will place the material on the unloading table on the storage part, or when the feeding conveyor belt cannot convey the material, the material can be placed on the storage part, the force-controlled clamp grabs the material from the storage part and places it on the unloading table, and then the storage and retrieval robot places the material on the unloading table on the storage rack.
[0030] A reinforcement body is arranged on the storage and retrieval robot, which plays the role of reinforcing the supporting body. At the same time, the reinforcement body and the slide groove correspond to each other in the vertical direction, making the supporting body more stable. When the storage and retrieval robot slides, the reinforcement body can also play a good role in fixing the supporting body, avoiding the supporting body from shaking when the storage and retrieval robot moves quickly.
[0031] The support body is provided with a slot to accommodate the toothed belt in the slot. The toothed belt does not take up extra space, and the structure is compact, which is convenient for reducing the volume of the support body and making the appearance more beautiful. The support body is made of aluminum profile, which greatly reduces the weight of the storage and retrieval manipulator and reduces the requirements for the ground bearing capacity of the equipment site. It is also conducive to increasing the moving speed of the storage and retrieval manipulator, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0032] The power cabinet is installed on the storage and retrieval robot instead of being installed on the ground as is traditionally the case. This reduces the pulling of power and signal cables. Only one external power cable or one additional signal cable is required. Sometimes, no signal cable is even required and wireless connection is adopted. There are many power and signal cables. On the one hand, the frequency of damage or loosening will increase, which will bring many unstable factors to the operation of the storage and retrieval robot. At the same time, it reduces the dragging of a large number of power and signal cables when the storage and retrieval robot moves, which is beneficial to improving the moving speed and efficiency of the storage and retrieval robot.
[0033] The storage part is equipped with limit columns and limit slots, so that the feeding trolley cannot be moved out when loading materials, which plays a role of limit prevention and avoids operators from damaging materials or equipment due to misoperation, causing unnecessary losses. Electromagnets are set to prevent the feeding trolley from shaking in the loading part or falling out of the loading part, which plays a role of fixing and safety. Anti-collision pads are set to protect the feeding trolley from being hit, improve the durability of the feeding trolley and the loading part, and extend their service life.
[0034] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, the support body 62 is provided with a slot along the axial direction, a toothed belt is provided in the slot, the robot arm is fixedly connected to the toothed belt of the support body, and the robot arm moves up or down under the transmission of the toothed belt. The slot is provided so that the toothed belt can be accommodated in the slot, the toothed belt does not occupy extra space, the structure is compact, the size of the storage and retrieval robot is reduced, and the appearance is more beautiful.
[0092] In the example, the support body 62 is an aluminum support body. The support body is made of aluminum profile, which greatly reduces the weight of the access robot and reduces the requirements for the ground bearing capacity of the equipment site. It is also beneficial to increase the moving speed of the access robot, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0093] A power cabinet 613 is arranged on the base 61, and the power cabinet can provide power and / or transmit signals for the operation of the access robot. The power cabinet is arranged on the access robot instead of being arranged on the ground as is traditionally done, which reduces the pulling of a lot of power lines and signal lines. Only an external power line or an additional signal line is required, or even no signal line is required, and a wireless connection is adopted. There are a large number of power lines and signal lines, and the frequency of damage or loosening will increase, which will bring many unstable factors to the operation of the access robot. At the same time, it reduces the dragging of a large number of power lines and signal lines when the access robot moves, which is beneficial to improving the moving speed and efficiency of the access robot.
[0094] Working principle of the storage and retrieval robot: When clamping materials, the first clamp arm 632 moves to the bottom of the material under the control of the control system and with the cooperation of the rotating structure 636, the telescopic structure 635 and the storage and retrieval robot. The first clamp arm 632 moves upward until the second sensor 6311 detects the material and the first clamp arm stops moving. At this time, the material is placed on the first clamp arm 632, and then the control system sends a descending command to the first drive motor 6344. The first drive motor 6344 runs and drives the screw rod to rotate at the same time. The lifting member 6343 moves downward synchronously with the rotation of the screw rod, and the first fixing member 6331 sleeved on the lifting member 6343 moves downward synchronously. The second clamp arm 633 fixed with the first fixing member 6331 also moves downward synchronously. When the second clamp arm 633 drops to the top of the material, the second clamp arm 633 stops moving downward, and the first fixing member 6331 fixedly connected to the second clamp arm 633 also stops moving synchronously. At this time, the lifting member 6343 continues to move downward following the screw rod, and the induction sheet on the lifting member 6343 also moves downward synchronously. When the induction sheet moves into the U-shaped groove of the first sensor, the first sensor detects a signal and sends information to the control system. After receiving the information from the first sensor, the control system instructs the first drive motor 6344 to stop rotating. At this time, the lifting member squeezes the spring, so that the second clamp arm generates a clamping force on the material. Therefore, the clamping force of the mechanical arm to clamp the material can be controlled according to the installation position of the induction sheet and the elastic force of the spring. In the example, the position of the induction sheet on the lifting member 6343 can be adjusted up and down, so that the size of the clamping force of the mechanical arm on the material can be adjusted.
[0095] When placing materials, the robotic arm places the materials on the storage rack, and the control system sends an ascending command to the first drive motor 6344. The first drive motor 6344 rotates and drives the lead screw to rotate. The lifting member 6343 moves upward synchronously with the rotation of the lead screw, and the second clamping arm 633 connected to the lifting member moves upward synchronously. When the first fixing member 6331 fixed on the second clamping arm 633 moves upward a certain distance, the first drive motor 6344 stops rotating. At the same time, the first clamping arm descends a certain distance under the action of the toothed belt and moves away from the bottom of the material. Then the robotic arm moves out from the storage rack under the action of the telescopic structure, completing the action of placing the material.
[0096] like Fig. 22 As shown, a baffle 71 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 7 close to the storage and retrieval robot 6, and at least one material blocking opening 72 is opened on the baffle 71, and the material blocking opening 72 opens upward, and the inner diameter of the material blocking opening 72 is smaller than the outer diameter of the material 9, and the inner diameter of the material blocking opening 72 is not smaller than the width of the first clamping arm 632 or the second clamping arm 633. The storage and retrieval robot 6 takes out the material from the storage rack 5 and places it on the conveyor belt 7. When the material is placed on the conveyor belt 7, the first clamping arm 632 and the second clamping arm 633 clamping the material extend from above the material blocking opening to the discharge conveyor belt 8 and move downward into the material blocking opening, and the second clamping arm 633 is lifted up to leave the surface of the material, and the robot arm 63 releases the material and the first clamping arm 632 moves out of the material blocking opening. The material falls onto the conveyor belt 7 under the stop of the material blocking opening, and the material is transported to the first discharge belt 311 or the second discharge belt 312 along the conveyor belt 7. In the example, the plurality of material blocking openings may be set to have different widths, and materials of different sizes may be matched with material blocking openings of different widths.
