Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and particularly to a working method of a multi-functional device for material transfer and storage. Background Art

[0002] Engineering robots are quite similar to handling robots in the logistics industry. Both need to achieve the clamping and handling of regular objects within a certain weight at different heights. Through automation, intelligent logistics can be realized. For example, in scenarios such as ports and logistics centers, fully automated logistics can be achieved. However, for existing handling robots, for some box-shaped objects with yaw-axis offset, that is, the object rotates and offsets around the y-axis, also called the yaw angle. When the object has a yaw-axis offset, the area of the object on the projection planes of the X and Y axes increases, and thus it is easy to occur that the robot gets stuck at the edge of the material, resulting in the situation that the material is not firmly clamped and drops or is damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a working method of a multi-functional device. By using the solution of the present invention, it is possible to clamp box-shaped materials with yaw-axis offset, so that the materials are not easily dropped or damaged, and the operation is convenient.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is: a working method of a multifunctional device, including the following steps: S1. The vehicle body identifies the position and height of the material through the vision recognition module, and moves to one side of the material through the moving mechanism; S2. Drive the first-level lifting mechanism, so that the lifting frame moves up and down along the support rod through the first-level pulley, so that the clamping device is located on one side of the material; S3. The clamping device clamps the material; S31. When the clamping device clamps the material, drive the clamping manipulator to slide close to the material through the horizontal sliding mechanism; S32. Drive the clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder drives the two clamping fingers to slide on the clamping guide rod, so as to be able to adjust the distance between the two clamping fingers for different materials to perform clamping; S32. When the material enters the clamping range of the clamping manipulator, drive the two clamping fingers to approach each other through the clamping cylinder, so that the friction wheels on the two clamping fingers clamp the material; if the material is in an offset state on the yaw axis at this time, under the clamping action of the clamping cylinder, the rotation guide shaft on the finger rotating part slides in the two arc-shaped limit grooves, stretching the tension spring, and then supporting the two clamping fingers apart, so that the material offset on the yaw axis can also be clamped; S34. The friction wheels on the two clamping fingers are in contact with the surface of the material, and the friction wheels are driven to rotate by the friction wheel motor, so as to drive the material to move in the direction close to the clamping guide rod; if the material is in an offset state on the yaw axis at this time, during the process of winding the material, the material will push the finger rotating part to rotate outwards along the arc-shaped limit groove relative to the finger support, and at this time the rotation guide shaft slides in the two arc-shaped limit grooves, so as to stretch the tension spring, and then the friction wheel can clamp the material offset on the yaw axis to prevent jamming of the edge of the material; S4. Drive the storage mechanism to lift through the second-level lifting mechanism, lift the material in the storage mechanism, and when the storage mechanism descends, the material is stored in the lifting frame.

[0005] In the above method, the vehicle body identifies the position and height of the material through the vision recognition module and moves to one side of the material through the moving mechanism; according to the height of the material, the first-level lifting mechanism is driven, so that the lifting frame moves up and down along the support rod through the first-level pulley, thereby realizing the lifting action of the clamping device and making the clamping device located on one side of the material; when the clamping device clamps the material, the turning motor is started, and the output end of the turning motor drives the clamping connecting piece to swing. The swing of the clamping connecting piece drives the clamping guide rod to turn, and the turning of the clamping guide rod drives the clamping finger to turn, so that the free end of the clamping finger turns to the outside of the clamping frame, facilitating the clamping of the material by the clamping finger. Then, the clamping manipulator is driven by the horizontal sliding mechanism to slide close to the material, so that the two friction wheels are respectively located on both sides of the material, and the turning motor stops working; then, the clamping cylinder is driven to retract the piston rod and drive one of the clamping fingers to approach the material and abut against the material. When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder is blocked by the material and cannot continue to retract, the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder will drive the other clamping finger to move towards the material through the reaction force, so that the two clamping fingers are driven by the clamping cylinder to slide on the clamping guide rod, thereby being able to adjust the distance between the two clamping fingers for different materials to clamp the material, making the clamping of the material by the clamping manipulator more stable; after firmly clamping the material with the clamping finger, the clamping manipulator is driven by the horizontal sliding mechanism to slide towards the clamping frame. At the same time or after the clamping manipulator slides laterally and resets, the turning motor rotates in the reverse direction. The output end of the turning motor drives the clamping connecting piece to swing in the reverse direction. The reverse swing of the clamping connecting piece drives the clamping guide rod to turn in the reverse direction. The reverse turning of the clamping guide rod drives the clamping finger to turn in the reverse direction, so that the free end of the clamping finger turns into the clamping frame. Since the clamping finger is provided with a sliding through hole corresponding to the clamping guide rod on the finger sliding part, the clamping finger can stably slide on the clamping guide rod through the sliding through hole; when the material enters the clamping range of the clamping manipulator, the two clamping fingers are driven to approach each other by the clamping cylinder, so that the friction wheels on the two clamping fingers clamp the material; if the material is in an offset state on the yaw axis at this time, under the clamping action of the clamping cylinder, the rotation guide shaft on the finger rotating part slides in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves, stretching the tension spring, and then supporting the two clamping fingers apart, so that the offset material on the yaw axis can also be clamped. Subsequently, under the drive of the clamping cylinder, during the process of the two clamping fingers approaching each other, due to the elastic action of the tension spring itself, the stability of the clamping finger when clamping the material can be improved;The friction wheels on the two clamping fingers are in contact with the surface of the material. The friction wheels are driven to rotate by a friction wheel motor, thereby driving the material to move in the direction close to the clamping guide rod. At the same time, for the material offset on the yaw axis, during the process of winding the material, the material will push the finger rotating member to rotate outward along the arc-shaped limiting groove relative to the finger bracket. At this time, the rotating guide shaft slides in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves, thereby stretching the tension spring. Furthermore, the friction wheel can clamp the material offset on the yaw axis, preventing the edge of the material from being stuck, so as to realize the clamping of materials at different angles on the yaw axis, making the materials not easy to fall or be damaged. In addition, the storage mechanism can be driven to lift by a secondary lifting mechanism, so as to lift the materials in the storage mechanism. When the storage mechanism descends, the materials are stored in the lifting frame and are not easy to separate from the vehicle body, and the operation is convenient and reliable.

[0051] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0052] As Figures 1 - 26 shown, a working method of a multifunctional device for material transfer and storage includes the following steps:

[0053] S1. The vehicle body 10 identifies the position and height of the material through the vision recognition module 43, and moves to one side of the material 7 through the moving mechanism 1.

[0054] S2. Drive the first-level lifting mechanism, so that the lifting frame 23 moves up and down along the support rod 211 through the first-level pulley 24, and the clamping device 4 is located on one side of the material 7.

[0055] S3. The clamping device 4 clamps the material 7.

[0056] S31. When the clamping device 4 clamps the material 7, drive the clamping manipulator 44 to slide close to the material 7 through the horizontal sliding mechanism.

[0057] S32. Drive the clamping cylinder 445 to drive the two clamping fingers 446 to slide on the clamping guide rod 442, so as to be able to adjust the distance between the two clamping fingers 446 for clamping different materials.

[0058] S32. When the material 7 enters the clamping range of the clamping manipulator 44, drive the two clamping fingers 446 to approach each other through the clamping cylinder 445, so that the friction wheels 4464 on the two clamping fingers 446 clamp the material; if the material is in an offset state on the yaw axis at this time, under the clamping action of the clamping cylinder, the rotation guide shaft on the finger rotating part slides in the two arc-shaped limit grooves, stretching the tension spring, and then supporting the two clamping fingers 446 apart, so that the material offset on the yaw axis can also be clamped.

[0059] S34. The friction wheels 4464 on the two clamping fingers 446 are in contact with the surface of the material. The friction wheels 4464 are driven to rotate by the friction wheel motor 4465, thereby driving the material 7 to move in the direction close to the clamping guide rod 442. If the material 7 is in a state of being offset on the yaw axis at this time, during the process of winding in the material 7, the material 7 will push the finger rotating member 4463 to rotate outward relative to the finger bracket along the arc-shaped limiting groove 44612. At this time, the rotation guide shaft 44636 slides in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612, thereby stretching the tension spring 44637.

[0069] As Figure 13 shown, the clamping finger 446 includes a finger bracket 4461, a finger sliding part 4462, a finger rotating part 4463, a friction wheel 4464, and a friction wheel motor 4465 for driving the friction wheel 4464; the finger sliding part 4462 is arranged at one end of the finger bracket 4461, and a through hole 44620 for slidingly arranging corresponding to the clamping guide rod 442 is arranged on the finger sliding part 4462; by driving the finger sliding part 4462 through the clamping cylinder 445, the clamping finger 446 slides along the clamping guide rod 442 between the clamping limit block 443 and the clamping connector 444 through the finger sliding part 4462; the finger rotating part 4463 is rotatably arranged at the other end of the finger bracket relative to the finger sliding part 4462, the friction wheel 4464 is rotatably arranged at the end of the finger rotating part 4463 away from the finger bracket 4461, the friction wheel motor 4465 is fixedly installed on the finger rotating part 4463, and the output end of the friction wheel motor 4465 is fixedly connected with the friction wheel 4464.

[0070] As Figure 14As shown in the figure, the finger bracket includes two finger support plates 44611 arranged corresponding to each other up and down, and arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612 are formed on the two finger support plates 44611; the finger rotating member 4463 includes two finger rotating support plates 44631 arranged corresponding to each other up and down, and the two finger rotating support plates 44631 are connected by a friction wheel motor 4465; a rotating guide shaft 44636 and a tension spring 44637 are arranged between the two finger rotating support plates 44631, and both ends of the rotating guide shaft 44636 respectively pass through the arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612 on the two finger support plates 44611, and the rotating guide shaft 44636 is movably arranged in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612; one end of the tension spring 44637 is connected to the rotating guide shaft 44636, the other end of the tension spring 44637 is connected to the output end of the friction wheel motor 4465, and the tension spring 44637 is in a stretched state; the friction wheel 4464 is rotatably arranged between the two finger rotating support plates 44631 and is connected to the output shaft of the friction wheel motor 4465; the friction wheel motor 4465 is fixedly installed on one finger rotating support plate 44631.

[0071] With the above settings, the vehicle body 10 identifies the position and height of the material 7 through the visual recognition module 43, and moves to one side of the material 7 through the moving mechanism 1; according to the height of the material 7, the first-level lifting mechanism is driven, so that the lifting frame 23 moves up and down along the support rod 211 through the first-level pulley 24, thereby realizing the lifting action of the clamping device 4, and making the clamping device 4 located on one side of the material 7; when the clamping device 4 clamps the material 7, the flipping motor 447 is started, and the output end of the flipping motor 447 drives the clamping connecting piece 444 to swing. The swing of the clamping connecting piece 444 drives the clamping guide rod 442 to flip, and the flipping of the clamping guide rod 442 drives the clamping finger 446 to flip, so that the free end of the clamping finger 446 flips to the outside of the clamping frame 41, facilitating the clamping of the material by the clamping finger 446. Then, the clamping manipulator 44 is driven to slide close to the material 7 through the horizontal sliding mechanism, so that the two friction wheels 4464 are respectively located on both sides of the material, and the flipping motor 447 stops working; then, the clamping cylinder 445 is driven to retract the piston rod and drive one of the clamping fingers 446 to move closer to the material 7 and abut against the material 7. When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 445 is blocked by the material 7 and cannot continue to retract, the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 445 will drive the other clamping finger 446 to move towards the material 7 through the reaction force, so that the two clamping fingers 446 are driven by the clamping cylinder 445 to slide on the clamping guide rod 442, so as to be able to adjust the distance between the two clamping fingers 446 for different materials 7 to clamp the material, making the clamping of the material 7 by the clamping manipulator 44 more stable.After firmly clamping the material with the clamping fingers 446, the clamping manipulator 44 is driven to slide towards the clamping frame 41 through the horizontal sliding mechanism. At the same time or after the clamping manipulator 44 slides laterally and resets, the flipping motor 447 starts to rotate in the reverse direction. The output end of the flipping motor 447 drives the clamping connecting piece 444 to swing in the reverse direction. The reverse swing of the clamping connecting piece 444 drives the clamping guide rod 442 to flip in the reverse direction. The reverse flip of the clamping guide rod 442 drives the clamping fingers 446 to flip in the reverse direction, so that the free end of the clamping fingers 446 flips into the clamping frame 41. Since the clamping fingers 446 are provided with sliding through holes corresponding to the clamping guide rod 442 on the finger sliding part 4462, the clamping fingers 446 can slide stably on the clamping guide rod 442 through the sliding through holes; when the material 7 enters the clamping range of the clamping manipulator 44, the two clamping fingers 446 are driven to approach each other through the clamping cylinder 445, so that the friction wheels 4464 on the two clamping fingers 446 clamp the material 7; if the material 7 is in an offset state on the yaw axis at this time, under the clamping action of the clamping cylinder 445, the rotation guide shaft 44636 on the finger rotating part 4463 slides in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612, stretching the tension spring 44637, and then the two clamping fingers 446 are supported and separated, so that the offset material 7 on the yaw axis can also be clamped. Subsequently, under the drive of the clamping cylinder 445, when the two clamping fingers 446 approach each other, due to the elastic action of the tension spring 44637 itself, the stability of the clamping fingers 446 when clamping the material 7 can be improved; the friction wheels 4464 on the two clamping fingers 446 are in contact with the surface of the material 7, and the friction wheels are driven to rotate through the friction wheel motor 4465, so as to drive the material 7 to move towards the direction close to the clamping guide rod 442. At the same time, for the material 7 offset on the yaw axis, during the process of winding the material, the material 7 will push the finger rotating part 4463 to rotate outward relative to the finger bracket along the arc-shaped limiting groove 44612. At this time, the rotation guide shaft 44636 slides in the two arc-shaped limiting grooves 44612, so as to stretch the tension spring 44637, and then the friction wheel 4464 can clamp the material 7 offset on the yaw axis, preventing the edge of the material 7 from being stuck, so as to realize the clamping of the material 7 at different angles on the yaw axis, making the material 7 not easy to fall or be damaged; in addition, the storage mechanism 3 can also be driven to lift through the secondary lifting mechanism, so as to lift the material 7 in the storage mechanism 3. When the storage mechanism 3 descends, the material 7 is stored in the lifting frame 23 and is not easy to separate from the vehicle body 10.

By driving the sliding cylinder 421 to extend and retract, the sliding bottom plate 425 slides under the cooperation of the sliding rail 422 and the sliding slider 423 and the action of the pulley 424.

[0078] As Figures 18 - 23As shown in the figure, the towing mechanism 5 includes two towing hooks.

The two ends of the U-shaped mounting base 51 are respectively fixedly connected to the chassis 11. The towing fixing block 54 is arranged between the two towing mounting plates 53 and is respectively fixedly connected to the chassis 11. The fixed end of the towing cylinder 52 is connected to the chassis 11, and the movable end of the towing cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the towing fixing block 54. The middle position of the limiting connecting rod 58 is hinged between the two towing mounting plates 53. One end of the towing member 59 is hinged between the two towing mounting plates 53 and is located at the end of the towing mounting plate 53 far from the towing fixing block 54. The end of the towing member 59 hinged to the towing mounting plate 53 abuts against the limiting connecting rod 58. In this embodiment, a return torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is connected between the towing member 59 and the towing mounting plate 53. Under the elastic force of the return torsion spring, the end of the towing member 29 far from the limiting connecting rod 58 is vertically downward.

[0079] The towing limiting member 55 is installed on the chassis 11 and is located on the side of the U-shaped mounting base 51 far from the towing cylinder 52. At the upper end of the towing mounting plate 53 and on the side close to the towing cylinder 52, a first protruding portion 531 extends upward.
