Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of warehousing robots, and more particularly, to a warehousing robot and a method. Background Art

[0002] Warehouse robots, a prominent example of modern industrial automation, specialize in autonomously performing core tasks within tobacco factories, including storage, refined management, and efficient handling. They not only accurately and seamlessly handle tobacco product warehousing, meticulous sorting, flexible scheduling, and seamless transportation, but also significantly improve overall production line efficiency and product quality standards. By introducing warehouse robots, tobacco factories have not only achieved intelligent upgrades to their production processes, but have also significantly reduced labor costs, effectively alleviated the physical burden on employees, and promoted an optimized and safer working environment.

[0003] The warehouse robot in the existing technology approaches the target goods under the guidance of the navigation and path planning system, and the clamping mechanism starts to work. For the gripper-type clamping mechanism, the robot extends the robotic arm to accurately place the gripper on the goods and applies appropriate force to clamp the goods. However, the extension action of the traditional robotic arm mostly relies on cylinder drive, but this method has limitations. The extension range of the cylinder is directly limited by its physical size. For goods located deep in the shelf or in a specific position, a larger cylinder may be required. However, this solution significantly increases the overall size of the warehouse robot and puts higher requirements on the spatial layout. In view of this, we propose a warehouse robot and method.

[0015] A method for operating a storage robot comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1. One of the first motors drives the first screw to rotate, causing the first and second connecting blocks to drive the docking plate to move, which in turn drives the support plate to move, thereby adjusting the installation assembly and the conveying assembly according to the height of the goods.

[0017] S2. Another first motor drives the second screw to rotate, so that the first bracket and the second bracket respectively drive the connecting frame to move, and the connecting frame drives the side panels to move. The multiple first electric rollers on the side panels drag the goods up and down until the two side panels are moved between the two support plates. At this time, the first electric roller is flush with the second electric roller;

[0018] S3, one of the connecting shafts is driven to rotate by the second motor, and the connecting shaft drives multiple connecting shafts to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the synchronous wheel and the synchronous belt. When the multiple connecting shafts rotate, they respectively drive the first arm to rotate, and the first arm drives the second arm to rotate through the first rotating shaft, and pushes the connecting shaft to slide along the inner wall of the first slide groove through the second arm, so that the two adjacent connecting shafts move at the same distance. When the connecting shaft moves, it drives the synchronous wheel to move. At this time, the rubber belt is stretched to adapt to the movement of the connecting shaft, and at the same time ensures that the synchronous belt can always mesh with the synchronous wheel. When the connecting shaft moves, it drives the bracket to slide along the inner wall of the second slide groove. When the bracket moves, it drives the fixed rod to slide along the inner wall of the third slide groove, and drives the mounting ring to slide along the outer wall of the support rod through the fixed rod, so that the multiple second electric rollers can expand outward until the second electric roller is extended into the shelf. When the mounting ring close to the fixed ring moves, it drives the support rod to slide along the inner wall of the fixed plate. When the support rod moves, it drives the limit block to slide along the inner wall of the fixed plate;

[0019] S4, transporting the goods by the first electric roller to the second electric roller, and then transporting the goods to the shelf by the second electric roller;

[0020] S5. When unloading, the electric clamp is pushed by the electric push rod to move the electric clamp to both sides of the cargo, the cargo is clamped by the electric clamp and clamped onto the second electric roller, the cargo is transported to the first electric roller by the second electric roller, and the cargo is transported to the mobile vehicle by lifting the side panels. By changing the height of the side panels, the cargo can be stacked in sequence, and the stacked cargo can be protected and shielded by the protective frame to prevent the cargo from collapsing when the mobile vehicle moves.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. When the second motor starts, it drives one of the connecting shafts to rotate. This connecting shaft transmits power to all other connecting shafts through the synchronous wheel and the synchronous belt, ensuring that multiple connecting shafts rotate synchronously in the same direction. This synchronous transmission mechanism ensures that all connecting shafts can maintain consistent speed and direction during the expansion process. When multiple connecting shafts rotate, they respectively drive the first arm to rotate. The first arm drives the second arm to rotate through the first rotating shaft, and the second arm pushes the connecting shaft to slide along the inner wall of the first slide groove, so that the multiple second electric rollers can be expanded outward. When the second motor rotates in the opposite direction, the multiple second electric rollers can be stored. This design can maximize the expansion and storage of multiple second electric rollers. The solution significantly reduces the overall size of the warehouse robot.

[0023] 2. The device of the present invention can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual height of the goods placed. The first motor drives the first screw and the second screw to rotate, driving the docking plate and the support plate to move, which can adapt to the storage needs of goods at different heights. At the same time, through the transmission mechanism of the connecting shaft, synchronous wheel and synchronous belt, multiple second electric rollers can be expanded outward to adapt to shelves of different widths, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0051] Example 4:

[0052] like Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage robot, which further includes the following structure based on the third embodiment:

[0053] A conveying assembly 4 is installed on the clamping assembly 2, and the conveying assembly 4 is used to convey the stored goods.

[0054] The conveying assembly 4 includes multiple brackets 401 and multiple second electric rollers 405. The inner walls of the brackets 401 are rotatably connected to the connecting shafts 403. The two ends of one connecting shaft 403 are respectively fixedly connected to the output ends of the two second motors 306. The two ends of the connecting shaft 403 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the first slide groove 302.

[0055] The inner walls of the brackets 401 are fixedly connected with blocks 402, the brackets 401 are slidingly connected to the inner walls of the second slide grooves 303 respectively, the bottoms of the brackets 401 are fixedly connected to the tops of the corresponding fixed rods 311 respectively, the outer walls of the circumferences of the connecting shafts 403 are rotatably connected with the first arms 409, the ends of the first arms 409 are rotatably connected with the first rotating shafts 410, the ends of the first rotating shafts 410 are fixedly connected with the second arms 411, the second arms 411 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting shafts 403 respectively, the outer walls of the multiple second arms 411 are fixedly connected with shift rods 412, the outer walls of the circumferences of the two adjacent connecting shafts 403 are fixedly connected with synchronous wheels 406, and a transmission component is sleeved between the two adjacent synchronous wheels 406.

[0056] The transmission component includes two synchronous belts 407 , two rubber belts 408 are fixedly connected between the two synchronous belts 407 , and the two synchronous belts 407 are respectively engaged with corresponding synchronous wheels 406 .

[0057] The transmission mechanism of the synchronous wheel 406 and the synchronous belt 407 ensures that the multiple connecting shafts 403 can rotate synchronously in the same direction, avoiding unstable operation or damage caused by asynchrony. At the same time, this transmission method also enhances the stability and reliability of the system.

[0058] The design of the connecting shafts 403 allows them to slide along the inner wall of the first chute 302, so that the distance between two adjacent connecting shafts 403 can be adjusted.

The multiple first electric rollers 116 on the side panels 115 drag the goods up and down until the two side panels 115 are moved between the two support plates 301. At this time, the first electric rollers 116 are flush with the second electric rollers 405.

[0062] The second motor 306 drives one of the connecting shafts 403 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 403 drives multiple connecting shafts 403 to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the synchronous wheel 406 and the synchronous belt 407. When the multiple connecting shafts 403 rotate, they respectively drive the first arm 409 to rotate, and the first arm 409 drives the second arm 411 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 410, and pushes the connecting shafts 403 to slide along the inner wall of the first sliding groove 302 through the second arm 411, so that the two adjacent connecting shafts 403 move at the same distance. When the connecting shaft 403 moves, it drives the synchronous wheel 406 to move. At this time, the rubber belt 408 is stretched to adapt to the movement of the connecting shaft 403, and at the same time ensures The synchronous belt 407 is always meshed with the synchronous wheel 406. When the connecting shaft 403 moves, it drives the bracket 401 to slide along the inner wall of the second slide groove 303. When the bracket 401 moves, it drives the fixed rod 311 to slide along the inner wall of the third slide groove 304. The fixed rod 311 drives the mounting ring 310 to slide along the outer wall of the support rod 308, so that the multiple second electric rollers 405 can be expanded outward until the second electric rollers 405 are extended into the shelf. When the mounting ring 310 close to the fixed ring 312 moves, it drives the support rod 308 to slide along the inner wall of the fixed plate 307. When the support rod 308 moves, it drives the limit block 309 to slide along the inner wall of the fixed plate 307.

[0063] The goods are transported by the first electric roller 116 to the second electric roller 405 , and then transported to the shelf by the second electric roller 405 ;

[0064] During unloading, the electric clamp 204 is pushed by the electric push rod 203 to move the electric clamp 204 to both sides of the cargo, the cargo is clamped by the electric clamp 204, and the cargo is clamped onto the second electric roller 405, and the cargo is transported to the first electric roller 116 by the second electric roller 405, and the cargo is transported to the mobile vehicle 101 by raising and lowering the side panels 115.
