DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present application will be more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are very simplified and are not drawn to scale, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1-2 , the building robot brick carrying manipulator provided by the embodiments of the present application is mounted on the bottom plate 76 of the mobile platform 75 and carried by the mobile platform 75, the mobile platform 75 also carries a brick straightening and winding device 77 for straightening and winding the bricks onto the mobile platform 75, and the manipulator 78 is used to carry the bricks straightened and wound onto the mobile platform 75 by the brick straightening and winding device 77.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , the manipulator 78 includes a horizontal movement mechanism 1, a lifting mechanism 2 mounted on the horizontal movement mechanism 1, and a clamping mechanism 3 mounted on the lifting mechanism 2.

[0056] As shown in Figure 3 , the horizontal movement mechanism 1 includes a beam rail 20, a sliding seat 21 slidingly mounted on the beam rail 20, and a horizontal movement driving assembly for driving the sliding seat 21 to reciprocally move along the beam rail 20. The beam rail 20 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 76.

[0057] The sliding seat 21 includes two horizontally opposite horizontal movement support plates 22, which are fixedly connected by four symmetrically distributed connecting rods. Fourth rollers 24 are rotatably mounted at four corners of the horizontal movement support plates 22, and the fourth rollers 24 roll along the left and right sidewalls of the beam rail 20. Four fifth rollers 25 are also provided on the horizontal movement support plates 22 and roll along the upper and lower sidewalls of the beam rail 20. In this embodiment, the fourth rollers 24 and the fifth rollers 25 can be bearings, which can reduce the friction when the sliding seat 21 slides on the beam rail 20.

[0058] In specific implementation, a proximal limit switch 79 can be fixedly installed at the left end of the beam rail 20 to limit the left end displacement of the sliding seat 21, and a distal limit switch 80 can be fixedly installed at the right part of the middle of the beam rail 20 to limit the right end displacement of the sliding seat 21.

[0059] The transverse driving assembly comprises a transverse steering engine 26, a transverse wire reel 27, a transverse pull rope 28 wound on the transverse wire reel 27, and two transverse rollers 29 rotatably installed at the two ends of one side of the beam rail 20 through roller supports 82, and the transverse steering engine 26 drives the transverse wire reel 27 to rotate. The transverse steering engine 26 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 76 through a steering engine support 81. The two ends of the transverse pull rope 28 are connected in a closed loop, the two ends of the transverse pull rope 28 pass through the two transverse rollers 29, and the transverse pull rope 28 is fixedly connected to one of the transverse support plates 22 through a fixing nail 30.

[0060] When the transverse steering engine 26 drives the transverse wire reel 27 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the sliding seat 21 slides left and right on the beam rail 20 through the transverse pull rope 28 on the transverse wire reel 27, thereby driving the lifting mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 3 fixedly installed on the sliding seat 21 to slide left and right, so as to realize the adjustment of the transverse displacement of the bricks during the conveying process of the mechanical arm.

[0061] As shown in Figure 4 , the lifting mechanism 2 comprises a lifting support group 4 and a lifting driving assembly 5 for driving the lifting support group 4 to lift. The lifting driving assembly 5 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat 21 of the transverse mechanism 1. The lifting support group 4 comprises a plurality of lifting sections 6 arranged longitudinally and side by side, and the adjacent two lifting sections 6 are longitudinally and slidably connected. The outer side of the lifting section 6 arranged at one end is fixedly connected to the plate surface of one of the transverse support plates 22 of the sliding seat 21. The clamping mechanism 3 is longitudinally and slidably connected to the lifting section 6 arranged at the other end. The lifting driving assembly 5 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to slide upward along the lifting section 6, and sequentially drives the adjacent lifting sections 6 to continuously lift in sequence to lift the clamping mechanism 3.

[0062] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5-6 , the lifting section 6 is in the shape of a square tube. One side of the lifting section 6 has an axial sliding hole 7, and the other side of the lifting section 6 is fixedly installed with a sliding body 8. The sliding body 8 is slidably arranged in the adjacent lifting section 6 after passing through the sliding hole 7 of the adjacent lifting section 6. The clamping mechanism 3 is also slidably connected to the adjacent lifting section 6 through the sliding body 8.

[0063] As shown in Figure 7 , the sliding body 8 comprises a sliding block 9 and a fixed block 10. The sliding block 9 is in the shape of a cube, and four first rollers 11 are symmetrically installed on the left and right side walls of the sliding block 9. Two second rollers 12 are rotatably installed at the two ends of the sliding block 9, and the second rollers 12 at the two ends of the sliding block 9 are biased to the front and rear sides of the sliding block 9, respectively. Two third rollers 13 are installed on the front and rear side walls of the sliding block 9, and the third rollers 13 on the front and rear side walls of the sliding block 9 are arranged in an up-down interval. The fixed block 10 is fixedly connected to the front or rear side of the sliding block 9 through bolts, and the fixed block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting section 6 through bolts.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first roller 11, the second roller 12, and the third roller 13 can all be bearings. The first roller 11, the second roller 12, and the third roller 13 roll along the inner wall of the lifting section 6, reducing the frictional resistance when the sliding body 8 moves up and down inside the lifting section 6.

[0065] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the lifting drive assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 14, a lifting reel 15 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 14, a lifting rope 16 wound around the lifting reel 15, and a lifting motor 17 for driving the lifting reel 15 to rotate. The lifting reel 15 is located on one side of the mounting frame 14. The lifting motor 17 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 14. The mounting frame 14 is fixedly mounted on the transverse mechanism 1. The lifting motor 17 drives the lifting reel 15 to rotate via a first synchronous belt 19.

[0066] The lifting section 6 has pulleys 18 installed at both the top and bottom ends on one side. The pull-out end of the lifting rope 16 is fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism 3. The lifting rope 16 passes around the pulleys 18 at both the top and bottom ends of the lifting section 6 in sequence.

[0067] A servo motor connector 83 is fixedly connected to the rear of the outer side of the mounting bracket 14. A rear servo motor 84 is fixedly installed behind the servo motor connector 83. The lower end of the mounting rod 85 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rear servo motor 84. A distance sensor 86 is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting rod 85. When carrying out handling operations, the mounting rod 85 is rotated and lowered by driving the rear servo motor 84. The distance sensor 86 at the end of the mounting rod 85 detects the required moving distance from the brick landing point and feeds it back to the control module.

[0068] like Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment takes the lifting support assembly 4 with three lifting sections 6 as an example to explain the lifting principle of the lifting support assembly 4 in detail. For ease of description, the lifting section 6 adjacent to the mounting frame 14 is named the fixed section, the lifting section 6 adjacent to the fixed section is named the first lifting section, and the remaining two lifting sections 6 are named the second lifting section, the third lifting section, and the fourth lifting section, respectively.

[0069] like Figure 9 As shown, the lifting rope 16 is wound clockwise around the lifting reel 15 from front to back. The front end of the lifting rope 16 is fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism 3 by a cable fixing nail. The rear end of the lifting rope 16 passes counterclockwise around the first pulley, clockwise around the lower pulley on the first lifting section, counterclockwise around the upper pulley on the first lifting section, clockwise around the lower pulley on the second lifting section, counterclockwise around the upper pulley on the second lifting section, clockwise around the lower pulley on the third lifting section, counterclockwise around the upper pulley on the third lifting section, and finally fixedly connected to the clamping mechanism 3 by a cable fixing nail.

[0070] When the lifting reel 15 rotates counterclockwise driven by the lifting motor 17, the rear end of the lifting rope 16 on the lifting reel 15 is taut, and through the pulley installed on the lifting section 6, it first pulls the clamping mechanism 3 upward along the adjacent lifting section 6; when the fixed block 10 fixedly installed on the clamping mechanism 3 is raised to the top of the sliding hole of the third lifting section, the continuous tension brought by the lifting rope 16 causes the sliding body in the second lifting section to begin to slide, driving the third lifting section to rise, and the clamping mechanism 3 continues to rise; when the fixed block 10 located between the second and third lifting sections is raised to touch the sliding hole of the second lifting section, the clamping mechanism 3 continues to rise; when the fixed block 10 located between the second and third lifting sections is raised to the point of touching the sliding hole of the second lifting section, the clamping mechanism 3 continues to rise. When the hole reaches the top, the continuous tension from the lifting rope 16 causes the sliding body in the first lifting section to slide, which in turn lifts the second lifting section, causing the clamping mechanism 3 to continue to lift. When the fixed block 10 located between the first and second lifting sections is lifted to touch the top of the sliding hole of the first lifting section, the continuous tension from the lifting rope 16 causes the sliding body in the fixed section 12 to slide, which in turn lifts the first lifting section, causing the clamping mechanism 3 to continue to lift. When the fixed block located between the fixed section 12 and the first lifting section is lifted to touch the top of the sliding hole of the fixed section 12, the clamping mechanism 3 reaches its maximum working height and stops lifting.

[0071] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a support arm 31, a tilting arm 32, a transport gripper 33, and an arm limiting block 64.

The support arm 31 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 10 on the sliding body 8 via a connecting block 34. The sliding body 8 is slidably mounted within the adjacent lifting section 6.

[0072] The support arm 31 includes two opposing inner support arm plates 35 and outer support arm plates 36. The inner support arm plates 35 and outer support arm plates 36 are fixedly connected below by a connector 37 and above by two connecting posts. A right-angle motor 39 is fixedly installed in the middle between the inner support arm plates 35 and outer support arm plates 36. A first reduction gear 40 is fixedly installed on the motor shaft of the right-angle motor 39. The first reduction gear 40 meshes with a second reduction gear 41. The second reduction gear 41 is circumferentially fixed on a first pulley shaft. The left end of the axle is rotatably connected to the gearbox 42 via a bearing, and the right end is rotatably connected to the inner side plate 35 of the support arm via a bearing. To the right of the second reduction gear 41, a third synchronous pulley 44 is circumferentially fixed on the first pulley shaft. The third synchronous pulley 44 is connected to the fourth synchronous pulley 45 via the second synchronous belt 43. The fourth synchronous pulley 45 is rotatably connected to the second pulley shaft via the first rolling bearing. The second pulley shaft is fixedly installed on the inner side plate 35 of the support arm. To the left of the fourth synchronous pulley 45, a fifth synchronous pulley 46 is fixedly installed on the second pulley shaft.

[0073] The tilting arm 32 includes an inner tilting arm plate 47, which is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of a first rolling bearing. The right end of the inner tilting arm plate 47 is fixedly connected to a fourth synchronous pulley 45 and an outer tilting arm plate 49 via four circumferentially distributed bolts. The middle sections of the inner and outer tilting arm plates 47 and 49 are fixedly connected by six symmetrically positioned tilting arm columns 50. The right end of the outer tilting arm plate 49 is rotatably connected to a second pulley shaft via a second rolling bearing 51. The left ends of the inner and outer tilting arm plates 47 and 49 are rotatably connected to a sixth synchronous pulley 52 via bearings. The sixth synchronous pulley 52 is connected to a fifth synchronous pulley 46 via a third synchronous belt 53. In the initial state, the bottom of the middle section of the tilting arm 32 rests on the upper surface of the horizontal section of the arm limiting block 64, which limits the angle and posture of the tilting arm 32 in the initial state.

[0074] The transport gripper 33 includes a gripper fixing shell 54, which is fixedly connected to the front end face of the sixth synchronous pulley 52. ​​The gripper fixing shell 54 is fixedly connected to the inner side plate 56 of the gripper through three triangularly distributed outer shell columns 55. A gripper servo motor 57 is fixedly installed on the inner side plate 56. The inner side plate 56 is fixedly connected to the outer side plate 59 of the gripper through three gripper side plate columns 58.

The front gripper 60 is inverted T-shaped and has a cylindrical top with gear teeth. The gear teeth on the front gripper 60 mesh with the servo gear 61 fixedly installed on the gripper servo motor 57. A rear gripper 62 is fixedly installed on the lower right end of the inner side plate 56 and the outer side plate 59 of the gripper. The height of the rear gripper 62 is lower than the height of the front gripper 60, which is conducive to the smooth entry of the brick into the gripper and allows the right side of the brick to fully fit against the rear gripper 91. Both the front claw 60 and the rear claw 62 are fixedly installed with several parallel rubber rings 63, which helps to increase the friction when handling bricks.

[0075] Work process:

[0076] When a brick is detected on the brick conveying device, the gripper servo motor on the transport jaw drives the front jaw, which meshes with the servo gear, to rotate counterclockwise, so that the lower end of the front jaw is close to the left side of the brick and works with the rear jaw to clamp the brick.

[0077] Next, the lifting motor drives the lifting reel to rotate. The lifting cable pulls the clamping mechanism to a designated height, after which the tilting arm performs a tilting action. A right-angle motor drives a small reduction gear to rotate counter-clockwise, which in turn drives a large reduction gear, a third synchronous pulley, and a second synchronous belt to rotate a fourth synchronous pulley clockwise. This causes the inner and outer plates of the tilting arm, fixedly connected to the fourth synchronous pulley, to rotate clockwise, thus achieving clockwise rotation of the tilting arm. Meanwhile, because the fifth synchronous pulley is fixedly connected to the second pulley shaft fixedly mounted on the inner plate of the support arm, it does not rotate with the fourth synchronous pulley. Consequently, the sixth synchronous pulley, connected to the fourth synchronous pulley via the third synchronous belt, also does not rotate. Consequently, the clamping jaw housing, fixedly connected to the sixth synchronous pulley, also does not rotate, ensuring that the handling jaws remain in their initial downward-facing position, clamping the brick. By driving the right-angle motor to control the tilting angle of the tilting arm, precise adjustment of the longitudinal offset of the brick can be achieved.

[0078] Then, based on the distance information from the brick landing point detected and fed back by the distance sensor 86, the clamping mechanism is moved left and right laterally by controlling the rotation of the lateral servo motor in the lateral movement mechanism, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the lateral offset of the brick.

[0079] Finally, after the horizontal and vertical offset of the bricks is adjusted, the lifting motor is reversed, the clamping mechanism is lowered, and the bricks are lowered to the landing point. The gripper servo is then reversed to rotate the front gripper clockwise, releasing the clamped bricks and completing the bricklaying operation. Then, the horizontal movement servo and lifting motor are driven to control the horizontal movement mechanism and the lifting mechanism to reset. Finally, the right-angle motor is driven to control the clamping mechanism to reset and execute the next brick transportation operation.
