Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, online shopping has become the main shopping method for consumers. In the process of sending express parcels from the place of origin to the destination, it is necessary to sort and stack the express parcels at multiple different sorting ports according to the different destinations, and then use mobile devices such as carts to transport the express parcels stacked at different sorting ports to the express parcel loading points corresponding to the sorting ports to realize the transfer of express parcels. At present, the method of sorting the express parcels stacked at the sorting ports to the carts is mainly manual, but the labor efficiency is low, the labor intensity is high, and different staff need to be arranged at different sorting ports, and the labor cost is high, so sorting robots came into being. The same sorting robot can take care of multiple sorting ports at the same time. After a preset time interval, it moves from one sorting port to another sorting port according to a preset route, and sorts the express parcels from different sorting ports to the corresponding carts, with high sorting efficiency and low labor cost. The walking base of the existing sorting robot is generally a structure with two tires at the front and rear, two of which are responsible for walking, and the other two are responsible for steering. When turning, the deflection angle of the body and the direction of travel is large, which is easy to slip. When moving from one sorting port to another, it cannot turn around and return on the spot, which is not suitable for narrow roads and warehouses with limited space; and the center of gravity is high, and no shock absorbing device is set. When moving from one sorting port to another, when encountering uneven ground, it will be repeatedly hit by hard impact and bounce up and down, which is easy to cause wear of the sorting robot and affect the travel speed; at the same time, the existing sorting robot is generally equipped with a through The express parcels are moved from the stacking point to the trolley by a hand-grasped mechanical gripper. For express parcels of smaller sizes, they can be easily clamped and moved. For express parcels of larger sizes, the hand-grasped mechanical gripper cannot effectively clamp the express parcels or can only clamp part of the express parcels. The clamping force is small, which may cause the express parcels to fall, causing damage to the express parcels and reducing the sorting efficiency. In addition, the existing sorting robot moves all express parcels of different sizes from the same sorting port into the same trolley. Large-sized express parcels are stacked on small-sized express parcels, which easily cause damage to the small-sized express parcels and the space utilization rate of the trolley is low.

[0003] Publication No. CN117484470A discloses a mobile collaborative robot, including a manipulator, a mobile chassis and a camera, the mobile chassis including a base and a driving mechanism, the manipulator is installed on the base, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the base to move; the manipulator has at least one section that forms an angle of less than 60° relative to the horizontal plane when grabbing express delivery, and this section is called a transverse arm; the camera is movably installed on the transverse arm of the manipulator and is used to shoot the oblique lower part of the manipulator; a control module is installed on the base, and the control module is electrically connected to the camera, the driving mechanism and the manipulator. The driving mechanism of the above-mentioned mobile collaborative robot is a crawler structure, which has a slow driving speed, a large contact area with the ground, high friction, difficult steering, inability to turn around on the spot, poor flexibility, and is not suitable for narrow roads and warehouses with limited space; and the center of gravity is high, and no shock-absorbing device is provided. When encountering uneven ground, it will be repeatedly hit by hard impacts and bounce up and down, which may easily cause the express parcels moved by the sorting robot to fall, affecting the safe sorting of the express parcels; at the same time, the manipulator of the above-mentioned mobile collaborative robot grasps the express parcels in a way that simulates human hands. For express parcels of smaller sizes, it can be easily clamped and moved. For express parcels of larger sizes, the hand-grasped mechanical gripper cannot effectively clamp the express parcel or can only clamp part of the express parcel, and the clamping force is small. In the process of moving the express parcel to the corresponding container, the express parcel may fall, causing damage to the express parcel and reducing the sorting efficiency.

[0004] In order to improve the above problems, the applicant filed a Chinese invention patent application entitled "A Sorting Robot". The suction cup and the clamp are switched by a rotating motor. The suction cup absorbs large-sized express parcels, and the clamp grabs small-sized express parcels. The servo motor drives the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm, and the third connecting arm to rotate, and the express parcels of different sizes are moved to the corresponding trolleys. In the process of the servo motor driving the clamp to move the small-sized express parcels to the trolley, some small-sized express parcels may fall due to the shaking of the clamp or the lack of clamping force. The servo motor needs to drive the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm, and the third connecting arm to rotate again to drive the clamp to grab the fallen express parcels, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the sorting efficiency is low.

[0123] Preferably, the baffle 48 is made of a flexible and deformable material.

[0124] Preferably, the roll-to-roll structure is controlled by a sorting robot control system;

[0125] When in use, the roll-up structure is installed on the sorting robot and located between the express parcels stacked at the sorting port and the trolley. The small-sized express parcel is clamped by the clamp 8. The first connecting arm 18, the second connecting arm 23, and the third connecting arm 24 are driven by the servo motor to move the small-sized express parcel to the corresponding trolley along a predetermined path. In the process, the small-sized express parcel may fall to the ground due to the shaking of the clamp 8 or insufficient clamping force. The third camera 47 captures images of the ground between the express parcels stacked at the sorting port and the trolley, and sends the captured image data signal to the signal converter. The signal converter converts the electrical signal of the received image data signal into a digital signal and sends it to the digital signal. The data processor calculates the pixel size of the image data if there is a dropped express package in the image data, calculates the actual size of the express package according to the ratio coefficient between the preset pixel size and the actual size, compares the actual size with the preset size, and if the actual size is smaller than the preset size, it means that the dropped express package is a small-sized express package. The first distance measuring sensor collects the distance between the storage shell 39 and the express package, and transmits the real-time signal to the central processor. The central controller plans the best path from the current position of the storage shell 39 to the express package according to the image information of the package and the distance deviation between the storage shell 39 and the express package. The central controller sends an execution instruction to the controller, and the controller controls the drive motor The machine and the first telescopic rod 19 drive the sorting robot to approach the express package along a predetermined path, the controller starts the first rotating motor 44, the first rotating motor 44 drives the rotating rod 43 to rotate, the rotating rod 43 drives the blade connecting rod 41 and the strip wavy blades 40 to rotate, and the plurality of strip wavy blades 40 rotate to drive the express package into the storage shell 39, the controller starts the second rotating motor 45, the second rotating motor 45 drives the connecting shaft 49 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the two sides of the baffle 48 are in contact with the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface of the storage shell 39, and the small-sized express packages stored are limited to prevent the small-sized express packages from slipping out of the storage shell 39 during the movement of the sorting robot, and the controller controls the sorting robot The system returns to the initial position along the preset path and continues to sort the express parcels. This process is repeated over and over again to store the dropped small-sized express parcels, thereby improving the sorting efficiency. The pressure sensor collects the pressure data on the bottom of the storage shell 39, and sends the collected pressure data to the signal converter. The signal converter converts the received electrical signal of the pressure data into a digital signal and sends it to the data processor. The data processor compares the digital signal of the pressure data with the preset pressure value. If the pressure data is equal to the preset pressure value, it means that the small-sized express parcels in the storage shell 39 are fully loaded, and a signal is sent to the terminal device of the staff to remind the staff to dump the small-sized express parcels in the storage shell 39 into the corresponding trolley in time. Example 2

[0126] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the blade connecting rod 41 is replaced by a third telescopic rod 50, and a group of third telescopic rods 50 are respectively arranged on the sides of the two rotating fixed disks 42, and there are multiple third telescopic rods 50 in each group. The multiple third telescopic rods 50 in the same group are arranged equidistantly along the side of the rotating fixed disk 42, and the two groups of third telescopic rods 50 correspond to each other one by one; when in use, the length of the third telescopic rod 50 can be changed, and the length of the third telescopic rod 50 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to storage shells 39 of different heights, and the rotation range of the strip wave blades 40 is changed to adapt to small-sized express parcels of different sizes and shapes; Example 3

[0127] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a flexible gasket 51 is disposed on the side of the baffle 48, and the edge of the flexible gasket 51 is connected to the side edge of the baffle 48; when in use, the flexible gasket 51 can play a role of buffering and protection, reduce the damage caused by direct collision and contact between the small-sized express parcel and the baffle 48, and reduce the extrusion deformation of the baffle 48;

[0128] The shell wall of the storage shell 39 is a hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the storage shell 39, reduce the load-bearing capacity of the sorting robot, and increase the traveling speed of the sorting robot;

[0129] The design of the shell wall of the storage shell 39 being filled with a mixture of sponge and foam particles can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force of the small-sized express parcel entering the storage shell 39 and colliding with the shell wall, thereby improving the shock absorption and buffering performance of the storage shell 39, and at the same time improving the supporting capacity of the storage shell 39 for the small-sized express parcel, and reducing the deformation of the storage shell 39;

[0130] The height of the bottom surface of the storage shell 39 is constant from one end to four fifths, and gradually decreases from four fifths to the other end. The other end of the bottom surface of the storage shell 39 is flush with the front side surface of the storage shell 39, so that the bottom surface of the storage shell 39 is sloped. Driven by the strip wave blades 40, small-sized express parcels can slide and roll into the storage shell 39 more smoothly, and at the same time, the small-sized express parcels can be effectively prevented from being stuck or blocked in the storage shell 39, and the small-sized express parcels can enter the storage shell 39 more efficiently.

[0131] The design of different lengths of the plurality of blade connecting rods 41 in the same group can more effectively adapt to small-sized express parcels of irregular shapes or different sizes, and the structure is more flexible. At the same time, the internal space of the storage shell 39 can be better utilized, so that the distribution of small-sized express parcels is more uniform, and the collision and confusion between small-sized express parcels are reduced, thereby maximizing the space utilization rate of the storage shell 39;

[0132] The design that two adjacent blade connecting rods 41 in the same group are not on the same plane can expand the rotation coverage of the strip wave blades 40, and the contact area with small-sized express parcels is larger, so as to better adapt to small-sized express parcels of irregular shapes or different sizes, and maximize the space utilization of the storage shell 39;

[0133] The strip wave blade 40 is designed as a hollow structure except for the curved portion, which can reduce the weight of the strip wave blade 40, reduce the inertia of the strip wave blade 40, thereby reducing the rotation resistance of the strip wave blade 40, reducing the bending or deformation of the strip wave blade 40, and extending the service life of the strip wave blade 40;

[0134] The diameter of the strip wave blade 40 is designed to gradually decrease from the middle to the two ends. The contact area between the middle of the strip wave blade 40 and the small-sized express package is larger. The larger diameter can more effectively absorb and disperse the impact force of the small-sized express package on the strip wave blade 40. The gradually decreasing diameter at the two ends can reduce the rotation resistance of the strip wave blade 40 and reduce the deformation of the strip wave blade 40.

[0135] The side of the strip wave blade 40 is provided with rolling teeth, and there are multiple rolling teeth. The multiple rolling teeth are arranged equidistantly along the length direction of the strip wave blade 40, and two adjacent rolling teeth are arranged in a staggered manner. The width of the rolling teeth is designed to gradually decrease from the side connected to the side of the strip wave blade 40 to the other side. The rolling teeth cooperate with the strip wave blade 40, and the contact area with the small-sized express parcel is larger, which can more effectively drive the small-sized express parcel into the storage shell 39;

[0136] The baffle 48 is designed with a hollow arc structure, which can reduce the weight of the baffle 48, reduce the inertia of the baffle 48, thereby reducing the rotation resistance of the baffle 48, reducing the bending or deformation of the baffle 48 under the extrusion of small-sized express parcels, and extending the service life of the baffle 48. The baffle 48 with an arc structure has a larger contact area with the small-sized express parcels, and has a stronger limiting effect on the small-sized express parcels, which can better reduce the small-sized express parcels from slipping out of the storage shell 39 during the movement of the sorting robot;

[0137] The thickness of the baffle 48 is designed to gradually decrease from the middle to the two sides. The larger thickness in the middle can improve the connection stability between the baffle 48 and the connecting shaft 49 and reduce loosening and falling off during the rotation process. The smaller thickness on both sides can reduce the rotation resistance of the baffle 48 and reduce the deformation of the baffle 48.

[0138] The baffle 48 is designed with a flexible and deformable material, which can improve the deformation ability of the baffle 48, reduce the damage caused by the small-sized express parcels to the baffle 48, and extend the service life of the baffle 48;

[0139] The purpose is to drive the blade connecting rod 41 and the strip wave blade 40 to rotate through the first rotating motor 44, so that the fallen small-sized express parcels can be rolled into the storage shell 39, and the baffle 48 can be driven to rotate by the second rotating motor 45 to limit the small-sized express parcels in the storage shell 39 to reduce slipping.

The dynamic package rolling structure of a sorting robot according to claim 1, characterized in that The two ends of the baffle are respectively slidably in contact with the left and right inner side surfaces of the storage shell, the two sides of the baffle are respectively slidably in contact with the inner top surface and inner bottom surface of the storage shell, and the width of the baffle is less than or equal to the distance from the rear side surface of the storage shell to the rotating rod.

9. The dynamic package rolling structure of a sorting robot according to claim 8, characterized in that The baffle has a hollow arc structure, which can reduce the weight of the baffle, reduce the inertia of the baffle, thereby reducing the rotational resistance of the baffle, reduce the bending or deformation of the baffle under the extrusion of small-sized express parcels, and extend the service life of the baffle. The baffle with an arc structure has a larger contact area with the small-sized express parcel, and has a stronger limiting effect on the small-sized express parcel, which can better reduce the small-sized express parcel from slipping out of the storage shell during the movement of the sorting robot; the thickness of the baffle gradually decreases from the middle to both sides, and the larger thickness in the middle can improve the connection stability between the baffle and the connecting shaft, reduce loosening and falling off during rotation, and the small thickness on both sides can reduce the rotational resistance of the baffle and reduce the deformation of the baffle; the baffle is made of a flexible and deformable material, which can improve the deformation ability of the baffle, reduce the damage to the baffle caused by the extrusion of small-sized express parcels, and extend the service life of the baffle.
