[0031] In the present invention, the manipulator is composed of multiple joints and connecting rods, and can realize multi-degree-of-freedom rotation. The manipulator is driven by a motor or a hydraulic system, and can quickly and accurately grab and place materials. The materials in this embodiment are bagged materials, that is, powder materials contained in sacks, which are replaced by materials later. During the stacking process, the manipulator automatically adjusts the grabbing position and force according to the preset program and the information fed back by the sensor to ensure the safe stacking of the materials. In order to improve the working efficiency and accuracy of the manipulator, visual sensors or laser rangefinders and other equipment can be installed on the manipulator to monitor the position and shape of the material in real time and realize precise grabbing.

During the stacking process, the first telescopic rod is extended to place the pad above a layer of materials that have been stacked. A new layer of bagged materials is placed on the pad. Since the pad support surface is relatively flat, the risk of the new layer of materials sliding down and falling is prevented. Due to the support of the material below, the pad does not bear weight. At the same time, after the new layer of material above is stacked, the material below is squeezed to prevent the center of the material below from being too high and the surroundings from being too low, thereby increasing the stability of stacking. When the material is stacked, the first telescopic rod retracts and the pad is pulled out from under the material for the next stacking operation. During the stacking process, the pad serves as a bearing platform for the material, protecting the material and improving the stability of stacking. When the first telescopic rod is extended, the pad is placed on the material, providing a stable working platform for the manipulator. When the first telescopic rod is retracted, the pad is pulled out from under the material for the next stacking operation.

[0033] Palletizing robots can realize automated palletizing operations, greatly improving production efficiency. Compared with manual palletizing, robots can work continuously, are not affected by factors such as fatigue and emotions, and can complete palletizing tasks quickly and accurately. The robot's multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator and control system can achieve efficient material grabbing and placement, reducing time waste during the palletizing process. At the same time, the automatic adjustment function of the lifting frame and the first telescopic rod can improve the accuracy of palletizing, further improving production efficiency.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, proposes

[0046] A palletizing robot comprises: a frame 1; a manipulator 2 rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and used for palletizing materials after the manipulator 2 rotates; a protective net 3 arranged on the frame 1, and used for protecting the safety of workers; a lifting frame 4 is lifted and arranged on the protective net 3; a first telescopic rod 5 is arranged on the lifting frame 4; a pad 6 is arranged on the first telescopic rod 5, and after the first telescopic rod 5 is extended, the pad 6 is driven to be erected on the materials, and the pad 6 is used for stacking materials, and after the first telescopic rod 5 is retracted, the pad 6 is used for extracting.

[0047] In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 is composed of multiple joints and connecting rods, and can realize multi-degree-of-freedom rotation. The manipulator 2 is driven by a motor or a hydraulic system, and can quickly and accurately grasp and place materials. The materials in this embodiment are bagged materials, that is, powder materials contained in sacks, which are subsequently replaced by materials. During the stacking process, the manipulator 2 automatically adjusts the grasping position and strength according to the preset program and the information fed back by the sensor to ensure the safe stacking of the materials. In order to improve the working efficiency and accuracy of the manipulator 2, visual sensors or laser rangefinders and other equipment can be installed on the manipulator 2 to monitor the position and shape of the material in real time and realize precise grasping. The protective net 3 is installed around the frame 1 to form a closed protective area. The height and density of the protective net 3 are designed according to safety standards to effectively prevent the occurrence of accidents.

[0048] The protective net 3 is provided with a door or passage to facilitate workers to load, unload and maintain materials. A safety interlock device is installed on the door or passage, which can only be opened when the manipulator 2 stops running, further improving the safety of work. The lifting frame 4 is installed on the protective net 3, and the lifting and lowering movement can be realized by means of a motor, a hydraulic system or a screw. The lifting range of the lifting frame 4 is adjusted according to the height of the material and the stacking requirements to adapt to materials of different specifications. During the stacking process, the lifting frame 4 automatically adjusts the height according to the working progress of the manipulator 2 to ensure that the material can be accurately placed on the pad 6. The first telescopic rod 5 is installed on the lifting frame 4, and the telescopic movement can be realized by means of a motor, a hydraulic system or a pneumatic device. The length and telescopic speed of the first telescopic rod 5 are adjusted according to the size of the material and the stacking requirements to ensure that the pad 6 can be accurately placed on the material or pulled out from under the material. During the stacking process, the first telescopic rod 5 is extended dynamically to place the pad 6 above a layer of materials that have been stacked. A new layer of bagged materials is placed on the pad 6. Since the supporting surface of the pad 6 is relatively flat, the risk of the new layer of materials sliding down and falling is prevented. Due to the support of the material below, the pad 6 does not bear weight. At the same time, after the new layer of materials above is stacked, the lower layer of materials is squeezed to prevent the center of the lower layer of materials from being too high and the surroundings from being too low, thereby increasing the stability of stacking. When the materials are stacked, the first telescopic rod 5 contracts and the pad 6 is pulled out from under the materials for the next stacking operation. During the stacking process, the pad 6 serves as a bearing platform for the materials, protecting the materials and improving the stability of stacking. When the first telescopic rod 5 is extended, the pad 6 is placed on the materials, providing a stable working platform for the manipulator 2. When the first telescopic rod 5 contracts, the pad 6 is pulled out from under the materials for the next stacking operation.

[0049] The palletizing robot can realize automatic palletizing operation, greatly improving production efficiency. Compared with manual palletizing, the robot can work continuously, is not affected by factors such as fatigue and emotions, and can complete the palletizing task quickly and accurately. The robot's multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator 2 and control system can realize efficient material grabbing and placement, reducing time waste during the palletizing process. At the same time, the automatic adjustment function of the lifting frame 4 and the first telescopic rod 5 can improve the accuracy of palletizing, further improving production efficiency.

[0050] Furthermore, the second telescopic rod 7 is arranged on the lifting frame 4; the baffle 8 is arranged on the second telescopic rod 7. After the second telescopic rod 7 is extended and retracted, the baffle 8 is driven to approach or move away from the material. After the pad 6 is pulled out, the baffle 8 abuts against the material.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second telescopic rod 7 is also installed on the lifting frame 4, and can adopt a driving method similar to that of the first telescopic rod 5, such as a motor, a hydraulic system or a pneumatic device. It can perform telescopic movement in the horizontal direction to control the position of the baffle 8. During the stacking process, when the first telescopic rod 5 contracts to prepare to pull out the pad 6, the second telescopic rod 7 does not contract, and always drives the baffle 8 to abut the material. The size and shape of the baffle 8 are designed according to the specifications of the material to ensure that it can effectively abut the material. When the second telescopic rod 7 is extended, the baffle 8 is tightly abutted against one side of the material. During the process of pulling out the pad 6, due to the friction between the material and the pad 6, the function of the baffle 8 is to prevent the material from moving with the pad 6, thereby preventing the material from falling or unstable stacking.

[0052] The setting of the baffle 8 effectively solves the problem that the material may move with the backing plate 6 when it is pulled out, greatly improving the stability of the stacking. The material can remain in place and will not be displaced or dropped due to the withdrawal of the backing plate 6, ensuring the neatness and firmness of the stacking.

[0053] Stable stacking can reduce the risk in the subsequent handling and storage process, and improve the reliability and safety of production. For materials of different sizes and weights, by adjusting the length and telescopic speed of the second telescopic rod 7, the baffle 8 can be better adapted to various situations and can effectively prevent it from moving when the pad 6 is withdrawn.

[0054] Furthermore, there are two side plates 9 which are slidably arranged on the backing plate 6. After the backing plate 6 is pulled out, the two side plates 9 are close to each other for squeezing materials.

[0055] In this embodiment, the side plate 9 is mounted on the pad 6 by a sliding device. When the pad 6 is ready to be pulled out, the control system sends a signal to start the sliding mechanism of the side plate 9, driving the side plates 9 to move closer to each other. The side plates 9 can squeeze the material just right and gather the material in the middle. The movement of the side plate 9 needs to be coordinated with the movement of the first telescopic rod 5, the second telescopic rod 7 and the baffle 8. Before the pad 6 is pulled out, first ensure that the baffle 8 abuts against the material, then start the side plates 9 to move closer to each other, and finally retract the first telescopic rod 5 to pull out the pad 6.

[0056] The two side plates 9 prevent the materials from sliding to the sides or being misplaced. This is crucial to ensure the stability and neatness of the stacking, especially for materials with irregular shapes or smooth surfaces. The squeezing effect of the side plates 9 can make the materials more closely arranged during the stacking process, improving the accuracy of the stacking. The gaps between the materials are reduced, and the stacking is more neat, which is conducive to saving storage space and improving transportation efficiency. Accurate stacking can also facilitate subsequent packaging and loading and unloading operations, improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0057] Furthermore, the two side plates 9 are reciprocatingly slidably arranged on the pad 6, and move closer to or away from each other after sliding. The side plate 9 has a first slide groove 91, and there are two gears 11, which are rotatably arranged on both sides of the pad 6 respectively. The gear 11 has an eccentrically arranged protrusion 111, and the protrusion 111 is slidably arranged in the first slide groove 91. After the gear 11 rotates, it drives the two side plates 9 to move closer to or away from each other; there are two racks 12, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the lifting frame 4, and the racks 12 are meshed with the gears 11. After the first telescopic rod 5 is contracted, the gear 11 is driven to rotate by the racks 12.

[0058] In this embodiment, two gears 11 are respectively installed on both sides of the pad 6, and are connected in rotation by bearings and other devices. The gear 11 has an eccentrically arranged protrusion 111, which cooperates with the first slide groove 91 on the side plate 9. The protrusion 111 can slide in the first slide groove 91, and at the same time ensure that the side plate 9 can be effectively driven to move during the rotation process. Two racks 12 are respectively installed on both sides of the lifting frame 4, and the length and position of the rack 12 are designed according to the installation position and movement requirements of the gear 11. The rack 12 meshes with the gear 11 to ensure that the gear 11 is driven to rotate after the pad 6 moves. When the first telescopic rod 5 is retracted, it drives the gear 11 to move, and the gear 11 and the rack 12 cooperate to make the gear 11 start to rotate. When the gear 11 rotates, the eccentrically arranged protrusion 111 slides in the first slide groove 91 of the side plate 9, thereby driving the two side plates 9 to move back and forth. After the side plates 9 approach each other, they repeatedly squeeze the materials, and in the process of repeated squeezing, the centering of the materials is achieved.

[0059] The movement of the side plate 9 can be controlled by the transmission mechanism of the gear 11 and the rack 12. There is a definite relationship between the moving angle of the protrusion 111 of the gear 11 and the moving distance of the side plate 9. The transmission method of the gear 11 and the rack 12 is efficient and reliable. The linear motion of the pad 6 can be directly converted into the rotation of the gear 11, thereby driving the side plate 9 to move, improving the working efficiency of the palletizing robot. At the same time, the transmission of the gear 11 and the rack 12 is relatively stable, and it is not easy to slip or jam, which ensures the continuity and reliability of the palletizing process.

[0060] Furthermore, the gear 11 is rotatably and slidably disposed on the pad 6, and the rack 12 is slidably disposed on the lifting frame 4. After the rack 12 and the gear 11 slide synchronously, the two side plates 9 are driven to move closer to or away from each other.

[0061] In this embodiment, the gear 11 can not only rotate on the pad 6, but also slide within a certain range. For example, a guide rail or a groove can be provided on the pad 6 so that the shaft of the gear 11 is mounted on a slidable component, thereby realizing the sliding function of the gear 11. The rotation of the gear 11 is driven by the meshing with the rack 12, while the sliding is adjusted according to the requirements of materials of different stacking sizes. When it is necessary to adapt to materials of different sizes, the gear 11 and the rack 12 can slide to a suitable position on the pad 6, the gear 11 is always meshed with the rack 12, and the rack 12 can slide smoothly on the lifting frame 4. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the side plate 9 to adapt to materials of different sizes, the rack 12 is driven to slide on the lifting frame 4. The sliding of the rack 12 drives the gear 11 to slide synchronously, so that the two side plates 9 are moved closer to or away from each other.

[0062] Through the sliding setting of the gear 11 and the rack 12, the palletizing robot can adapt to materials of different stacking sizes, greatly improving the practicality of the equipment. Whether it is small or large materials, the side plate 9 can be accurately squeezed by adjusting the position of the gear 11 and the rack 12 to ensure the stability and quality of the palletizing. This flexibility enables the palletizing robot to be widely used in different production scenarios to meet the diversified production needs of enterprises. The sliding function of the gear 11 and the rack 12 enables the equipment to quickly adapt to materials of different sizes without complex mechanical adjustments or replacement of parts. This not only improves the adaptability of the equipment, but also reduces the downtime and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0063] Furthermore, the rack 12 has a second slide groove 121, and the second slide groove 121 has a horizontal portion 122 and a vertical portion 123. The horizontal portion 122 and the vertical portion 123 are smoothly connected, and the abutment block 14 is slidably arranged in the horizontal portion 122 and the vertical portion 123; one end of the elastic member 13 is arranged on the horizontal portion 122, and the other end is arranged on the abutment block 14. The elastic member 13 is used to provide a force for the abutment block 14 to slide into the horizontal portion 122. After the abutment block 14 slides, it avoids the pad 6.

[0064] In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 can be a spring with good elasticity and durability. The spring is installed on the rack 12 and can be fixed by welding, bolt connection or clamping. The abutment block 14 can move on the rack 12.

[0065] When the side panels 9 move away from each other, they contact the abutment block 14. The abutment block 14 cannot drop directly. The abutment block 14 needs to support the pad 6 to provide a certain support force for the pad 6 to enhance the stability of the stacking. When the side panels 9 need to move away from each other, the side panels 9 will push the abutment block 14 to slide along the horizontal portion 122, stretch the spring, and the side panels 9 continue to squeeze the abutment block 14, so that the abutment block 14 drops along the vertical portion 123. Under the push of the side panels 9, the abutment block 14 avoids the movement of the side panels 9, so that the side panels 9 can smoothly move away from each other. When the side panels 9 approach each other again, the elastic force of the spring will reset the abutment block 14 and abut the supporting pad 6 again.

[0066] This movable abutment block 14 can effectively reduce the floor space of the equipment and improve the utilization rate of the production site. For a production workshop with limited space, reducing the floor space of the equipment can better carry out layout planning and improve production efficiency.

[0067] Furthermore, the abutment block 14 has a first guide bevel 141 and a second guide bevel 142, and the first guide bevel 141 is connected to the second guide bevel 142. After the pad 6 drives the side plate 9 to move, the side plate 9 abuts against the first guide bevel 141 and the second guide bevel 142, and the abutment block 14 is driven to slide along the second slide groove 121 through the first guide bevel 141 and the second guide bevel 142.

[0068] In this embodiment, the abutment block 14 has a first guide slope 141 and a second guide slope 142. The two slopes are connected to each other. The first guide slope 141 is relatively gentle, and is used to contact the backing plate 6 when the first telescopic rod 5 drives the backing plate 6 and the side plate 9 to move. The second guide slope 142 is relatively steep, so that it can effectively contact the side plate 9 and drive the abutment block 14 to descend after the two side plates 9 move away from each other. When the backing plate 6 moves during the stacking operation, it will drive the side plate 9 to move together. At this time, the backing plate 6 will gradually approach the abutment block 14 and finally abut on the first guide slope 141. As the backing plate 6 continues to move, under the guidance of the first guide slope 141, the backing plate 6 can smoothly pass through the abutment block 14 without being too much obstruction. When the two side plates 9 need to move away from each other, the side plate 9 will move outward. In the process of the movement of the side plate 9, it will gradually contact the second guide slope 142 of the abutment block 14. Due to the angle design of the second guide slope 142, the movement of the side plate 9 will generate downward pressure on the abutment block 14, causing the abutment block 14 to drop obliquely downward under the action of the second guide slope 142. After the two abutment blocks 14 are reset, they are subjected to a vertical downward extrusion force, which will not cause the abutment block 14 to move.

[0069] The design of the first guide slope 141 and the second guide slope 142 on the abutment block 14 enables automatic coordination during the palletizing operation. The position of the abutment block 14 can be automatically adjusted according to the movement of the backing plate 6 and the side plate 9 without additional manual intervention or a complex control system, thereby improving the automation and operational convenience of the equipment.

[0070] Furthermore, the lifting frame 4 has an avoidance groove, and the rack 12 is vertically swingably arranged on the lifting frame 4; the first telescopic rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 7 are vertically swingably arranged on the lifting frame 4.

[0071] In this embodiment, a specific shape of avoidance groove is provided on the lifting frame 4 to ensure that the rack 12 does not interfere with the lifting frame 4 when swinging. The rack 12 is folded after use. In order to enable the rack 12 to swing vertically smoothly, a chamfer can be designed on the lifting frame 4. The edge of the avoidance groove can be rounded to reduce the wear and collision of the components during the swinging process. The rack 12 is installed on the lifting frame 4 so that the rack 12 can swing vertically. The first telescopic rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 7 are installed on the lifting frame 4 to achieve vertical swing. In order to ensure the stability of the position of the telescopic rod after swinging, the first telescopic rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 7 are staggered in the horizontal direction.

[0072] When the device needs to be folded after use, the first telescopic rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 7 are first retracted to the shortest length. Then, the rack 12, the first telescopic rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 7 are vertically swung by manual or automatic control to achieve a compact folded state. The folded device occupies a small space and is convenient for storage and transportation. When the device needs to be used again, the operation is performed in the reverse order to unfold and adjust the components to the working position.

[0073] Furthermore, the threaded rod 15 has two, and the threaded rod 15 has a first end 151, a threaded section 152 and a second end 153 which are arranged in sequence. The threaded section 152 is threadedly set on the lifting frame 4, and the first end 151 is rotatably set on the threaded rod 15. The threaded rod 15 swings vertically along the first end 151. The second end 153 is a driving end, which is used to drive the threaded rod 15 to rotate. After the two threaded rods 15 rotate, the two racks 12 are driven to approach or move away from each other.

[0074] In this embodiment, since the rack 12 is rotatably arranged on the first end 151, the rotating structure can not only not affect the vertical swinging and folding of the rack 12, but also realize that after the threaded rod 15 rotates, the two racks 12 approach each other or move away from each other, thereby achieving the effect of the side panel 9 beating stacks of different sizes.

[0075] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
