Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to loading and unloading vehicles, and in particular to a single-column double-arm automatic loading and unloading vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Box truck transportation is one of the main modes of transportation in the logistics industry. It is safe and efficient. With the rapid development of logistics in my country, the proportion will become higher and higher. Due to the special structure of box trucks, such as the height of the compartment, the internal dimensions and other different models, and the operation in a semi-enclosed space, it is very difficult to realize automated loading and unloading. At present, the loading and unloading of box trucks is mainly completed by manual and auxiliary conveyor belts or electric forklifts. Manual labor has the disadvantages of low efficiency, high intensity and high cost. Electric forklifts can reduce the intensity of manual labor, but cannot make full use of the cargo space in the box and cannot be completely separated from manual labor. With the increase in labor costs, it has become an inevitable trend to replace manual loading and unloading with machines. Most of the existing closed and limited space loading and unloading vehicles use single robotic arms to avoid the problem of limited space, but the work efficiency is low. There are also dual robotic arms arranged at a certain distance. The limited working space is divided into three parts, which makes the movement space of the dual robotic arms smaller. The dual robotic arms share the grabbing station, and the dual robotic arms need to avoid each other, which has limited efficiency improvement. Summary of the invention
