Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0025] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, a logistics sorting intelligent robot is provided, including a power base 1, a rotating base 2 rotatably mounted on the power base 1, a first robotic arm 4 driven by a first motor 3 mounted on the rotating base 2, a second robotic arm 6 driven by a second motor 5 mounted on the first robotic arm 4, a third robotic arm 8 driven by a third motor 7 mounted on the second robotic arm 6, and a sorting robot 10 driven by a fourth motor 9 mounted on the third robotic arm 8. A rotating shaft 14 is provided at the output end of the fourth motor 9. The sorting robot 10 includes a rotating plate 11 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 14. A fixed clamping plate 15 is fixed on one side of the rotating plate 11, and a movable clamping plate 16 is movably mounted on the other side. A position sensor 26 and a barcode reader 35 are provided on both the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16. A motor controller 13 and a sixth motor 12 are provided inside the power base 1, and the output shaft of the sixth motor 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 2. The barcode reader 35 is a fixed barcode reader that can be used for identifying package information.
[0027] The sorting robot 10 is also equipped with a first battery 25, and a second battery is installed in the power base 1. The first motor 3, the second motor 5, the third motor 7, the fourth motor 9 and the sixth motor 12 are all servo motors. The motor controller 13 is a servo motor controller, and the signal output terminal of the servo motor controller is electrically connected to the first motor 3, the second motor 5, the third motor 7, the fourth motor 9 and the sixth motor 12 respectively.
[0028] When in use, turning on the sixth motor 12 can drive the turntable 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper robotic arm and sorting robot 10 to rotate synchronously. The first motor 3, the second motor 5, the third motor 7, and the fourth motor 9 can be used to operate the first robotic arm 4, the second robotic arm 6, the third robotic arm 8, and the sorting robot 10 to complete various rotation, bending, and movement operations during sorting, which is highly flexible.
[0029] Guide frames 27 are hinged to the ends of both the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16. The guide frame 27 includes a front guide plate 271 and a straightening plate 272. Hidden grooves 28 that are adapted to the straightening plate 272 are provided on the inner sides of the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16.
[0030] Using the front guide plate 271 of the guide frame 27, when the sorting robot arm 10 moves to the front of the package, as the package is driven forward by the conveyor, the package will first contact the front guide plate 271, and then move towards the middle position along the direction of the front guide plate 271, and then contact the straightening plate 272. The straightening plate 272 is rotated due to the pressure of the package movement, causing the guide frame 27 to rotate as a whole. The rotating guide frame 27 can use the straightening plate 272 to guide the position of the package again, thereby playing a good role in package straightening and improving the package sorting and clamping effect.
[0031] Torsion springs 273 are connected to the hinge joints of the guide frame 27 with the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16. Multiple pulleys 29 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the leveling plate 272.
[0032] Using the torsion spring 273, when there are no packages on the sorting robot 10, the guide frame 27 can be reset to the starting position by the reset action of the torsion spring 273, so that subsequent packages can be guided again.
[0033] A fifth motor 17 is installed at one end of the rotating plate 11, and a slide groove 18 is provided on the rotating plate 11. A lead screw 19 is rotatably installed in the slide groove 18, and one end of the lead screw 19 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the fifth motor 17. A threaded sleeve 20 is installed on the outer surface of the lead screw 19. The threaded sleeve 20 is slidably installed in the slide groove 18 and is fixedly connected to the movable clamping plate 16.
[0034] The fifth motor 17 can drive the thread sleeve 20 to move on the threaded rod 19, thereby driving the movable clamping plate 16 to move on the rotating plate 11. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16, thus enabling the clamping of the package.
[0035] The sorting robot 10 is also equipped with an adsorption seat 21 and a fan 22. The adsorption seat 21 is located between the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16. The adsorption seat 21 and the fan 22 are connected by an air pipe 24. Several negative pressure holes 23 are opened on the adsorption seat 21.
[0036] By using the fan 22 and the suction seat 21, the package can be suctioned under negative pressure, thereby improving the stability of the package on the sorting robot 10 when it is clamped and preventing the package from falling off when the sorting robot 10 moves.
[0037] The sorting robot 10 is also equipped with a clamping sensing unit 30. The clamping sensing unit 30 includes a movable groove 31 opened on the opposite side of the fixed clamping plate 15 and the movable clamping plate 16, and a movable head 32 is slidably installed in the movable groove 31. One end of the movable head 32 is connected to a pressure sensor 34 through a compression spring 33.
[0038] By using the clamping sensing unit 30, when the movable clamping plate 16 moves to clamp the package, the pressure sensor 34 can be used to determine whether the package is effectively clamped. This allows control over whether the movable clamping plate 16 needs to move again or stop moving, thereby improving the automation level of the intelligent robot.
[0039] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a master control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
[0040] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
