[0023] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices or methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0024] The technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1
[0025] This embodiment describes in detail a mobile moisture-absorbing robot for warehouse use; Figure 1 As shown, the robot mainly includes four parts: a panel compartment 1, a moisture absorption compartment 2, a water storage compartment 3 and a mobile robot 4.
[0026] The panel warehouse 1 is designed to be in an arc shape, specifically a semicircular structure with the arc mouth pointing downward, and the top of the arc is hollow, and the interior is used to place and install a control system; the control system includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a controller and a receiver; the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are used to monitor the environmental conditions in the warehouse in real time, and the controller makes corresponding control decisions based on the data received by the receiver; the function of the receiver is to receive sensor data set at fixed points inside the warehouse, so as to provide the controller with necessary information to guide the mobile robot to perform moisture absorption operations; the upper front part of the panel warehouse 1 is equipped with a display screen, the middle part is equipped with a monitoring probe, and the lower part is equipped with a microphone, the display screen is used to display the current moisture absorption status and control information, the monitoring probe is used for video monitoring of the environment, and the microphone is used for voice interaction instructions, while supporting APP remote terminal control; the upper end of the panel warehouse 1 is equipped with a humidity warning light, which is used to provide visual alarm signals in multiple colors when the humidity exceeds the set value, so as to facilitate real-time control and adjustment by the operator; Figure 2 It can be seen that a feed port is provided on the back of the panel bin 1, which is directly connected to the hygroscopic bin 2 to facilitate the filling of hygroscopic material. The hygroscopic material is preferably a granular hygroscopic material. The arc-shaped end faces of the panel bin 1 are relatively slender, playing a skeleton support role to ensure the stability of the entire structure.
[0027] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the moisture absorption bin 2 is the part for storing the moisture absorption material internally, and its shape is also arc-shaped with the arc opening facing downward; the moisture absorption bin 2 is arranged inside the panel bin 1, and is laterally wrapped by the panel bin 1 to form an integral structure; the two longitudinal sides of the moisture absorption bin 2 are equipped with breathable nets or breathable holes to allow the moisture absorption material to fully contact with the air and improve the moisture absorption efficiency; the bottom of the moisture absorption bin 2 is a leakage net, which is directly arranged on the top of the water storage bin 3, and the leakage net structure helps to effectively discharge moisture.
[0028] The water storage bin 3 is a rectangular container with a certain thickness, which is mainly used to temporarily store the moisture absorbed in the moisture absorption bin 2; a liquid level monitoring device is designed on the upper part of the water storage bin 3 to monitor the internal water level in real time to ensure that the normal operation of the robot is not affected by the overfilling of the water storage bin; an automatic drain outlet is provided at the bottom center of the water storage bin 3, which can automatically control the discharge of water through the liquid level monitoring value received by the control system to ensure the stable operation of the device. Through the cooperation of the liquid level monitoring device and the automatic drain outlet, the water storage bin 3 can always be maintained in an appropriate water level range, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive water level.
[0029] In terms of the connection between each part, the arc-shaped two end surfaces of the panel bin 1 are tightly combined with the two edges of the top of the water storage bin 3 by a fixed connection. In order to ensure the firmness of the structure, high-strength materials and bolts are used at the connection to ensure that there will be no loosening or falling off during operation; the two longitudinal surfaces of the moisture absorption bin 2 are symmetrically staggered inwardly connected to the other two edges of the top of the water storage bin 3; this connection method not only increases the stability of the overall structure, but also closes the seam by setting a transparent glass, so that outsiders can easily check the moisture absorption effect and water level; in addition, the two side surfaces of the moisture absorption bin 2 are also tightly connected to the inner arc surface of the panel bin 1 through fixings, further enhancing the stability and compactness of the overall structure.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the mobile robot 4 is located at the lower end of the water storage tank 3, and its main structure is composed of a rectangular outer frame and a middle package box; the outer frame is a rectangular frame for supporting and protecting the internal structure; Figure 4 It is known that a vertical through-tube is fixedly provided at the center of the bag box, the top end of the through-tube is connected to the drain outlet of the water storage tank 3, and the bottom end is designed as a normally open discharge outlet to facilitate automatic drainage; the middle thickness of the bag box is greater than the thickness of the outer frame, and bulges upward and downward to form an inward convex structure, in which a battery pack is arranged; the battery pack provides power support for the mobile robot 4, enabling it to operate for a long time. In addition, the mobile robot 4 is also equipped with an automatic charging function, which can automatically find charging facilities for wireless charging, ensuring that it can automatically return to the charging station for replenishment and charging when the battery is low.
[0031] A micro motor and a signal acquisition and transmission module are installed inside the rectangular frame; rotating wheels are installed at the bottom of the corners of the rectangular frame, which are driven by the micro motor, so that the robot has flexible mobility and can move in multiple directions in the warehouse; the signal acquisition and transmission module is responsible for receiving and sending control signals to ensure that the robot can perform the moisture absorption task according to the predetermined path or instructions; in addition, an obstacle avoidance radar is also arranged on the outside of the corner of the rectangular frame, and the obstacle avoidance radar can detect the surrounding environment in real time to prevent the robot from colliding with obstacles during movement, thereby improving its autonomous mobility and safety.
[0032] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the panel warehouse 1 presents an arc-shaped appearance. The arc-shaped design not only conforms to the aesthetic principle, but also its downward curved arc mouth is conducive to increasing the stability of the robot when working; the hollow structure of the arc top part is specially designed to house the control system, which is the neural brain of the robot; the control system includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a controller and a receiver; these sensors are all high-precision instruments that can monitor the temperature and humidity changes in the warehouse in real time and provide data support for the operation of the mobile moisture absorption robot; the controller responds to the data received by the receiver to guide the moisture absorption operation of the mobile robot 4; the display screen, the monitoring probe and the microphone on the front of the panel warehouse 1 are neatly arranged to keep the interface neat and efficient; the humidity warning light can issue a warning when the ambient humidity reaches the warning value, and its warning light changes into yellow, orange and red, representing warnings of different humidity, yellow relative humidity is between 65% and 75%, orange relative humidity is between 76% and 85%, and red relative humidity is between 86% and 95%, providing the operator with more intuitive working status feedback.
[0033] The feed port designed on the back of the panel bin 1 is a channel for the hygroscopic material, and is directly connected to the hygroscopic bin 2. This design simplifies the filling of the hygroscopic material. When the hygroscopic material needs to be filled, the staff can easily complete it through the feed port; the slender design of the arc-shaped two end surfaces of the panel bin 1 plays a role in skeleton support, ensuring the stability of the entire structure and the balance of the robot during movement.
[0034] To further elaborate on the moisture absorption bin 2, its arc shape echoes the panel bin 1, making the structure more integrated; the air permeable nets or air holes on both sides of the moisture absorption bin 2 are carefully arranged to form a balanced ventilation structure, which can ensure that the moisture absorption material is fully exposed to moisture; especially the mesh design at the bottom of the moisture absorption bin 2 allows the absorbed moisture to flow smoothly into the water storage bin 3; in the design of the connecting surface between the moisture absorption bin 2 and the panel bin 1, the two are fixedly connected by high-strength fixing parts to form a solid and tight whole, so that the moisture absorption material will not be displaced even in severe shaking.
[0035] The water storage bin 3, as a rectangular container, not only provides an effective moisture collection function for the moisture absorption bin 2, but also provides a stable base for the robot; the liquid level monitoring device on the top of the water storage bin 3 and the automatic drain outlet at the bottom are both intelligently designed, so that the mobile moisture absorption robot can automatically manage moisture without human intervention; regarding the connection method between the water storage bin 3 and the panel bin 1 and the moisture absorption bin 2, the arc-shaped two end surfaces of the panel bin 1 are fixedly connected to the two edges of the top of the water storage bin 3, using suitable fixing structures, such as bolts and welding, to form a more stable robot frame; the transparent glass on both sides of the moisture absorption bin 2 not only has the function of facilitating observation, but also strengthens the firmness of the connection between the moisture absorption bin 2 and the water storage bin 3.
[0036] The connection design between the water storage bin 3 and the moisture absorption bin 2 is ingenious, and the seam is sealed with transparent glass, which not only improves the overall design in terms of aesthetics, but also facilitates external inspection of the moisture absorption effect and water level. The use of transparent glass allows the staff to visually observe the moisture absorption effect and water storage of the moisture absorption material without disassembling any part, thereby improving the efficiency of daily maintenance and management.
[0037] The design of the mobile robot 4 has also been carefully considered and repeatedly deliberated in terms of function and structure; its main structure consists of a rectangular outer frame and a packaging box in the middle; its structure is compact and reasonable, which greatly enhances its practicality in the warehouse.

For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions made to the invention are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the equalization changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view.
