The positioning sensor and the material identification device transmit the identification data to the control center, and the control center organizes the data according to the identification data and forms instructions to send to the control center of the palletizing robot, and the palletizing robot performs corresponding palletizing operations according to the instructions.
[0015] A multi-station fully automatic palletizing collaborative system is mainly composed of a palletizing robot, a material palletizing platform and a material production line. The material palletizing platform is distributed around the palletizing robot, which is convenient for the robot to carry out flexible palletizing in multiple positions after grabbing the materials. The palletizing robot includes a manipulator, a suction component, a lifting platform and a control center. The manipulator is responsible for transferring the packaged materials from the production line to the palletizing position. The arrangement of multiple palletizing positions around the palletizing robot enables the robot to efficiently complete multi-directional palletizing tasks, thereby improving the palletizing efficiency and flexibility. The suction component design ensures the firm adsorption of the material, making it less likely for the material to slip or be mispositioned during the handling and palletizing process, thereby ensuring stability. The manipulator is designed as a multi-axis rotating structure, including seven rotating shafts and two machine arms; this multi-axis structure provides the manipulator with a high degree of freedom of movement, meets the multi-directional palletizing requirements, enhances the coverage of the material, and improves the flexibility of the manipulator. Sensors are configured on the first machine arm and the second machine arm to detect the tilt state of the manipulator. The control center receives sensor signals and adjusts the direction of the robot in real time to achieve precise palletizing control and anti-collision protection. The linkage design of the sensor and the control center enables the robot to have an automatic correction function, improves the safety and stability of operation, and avoids misoperation caused by tilt or over-limit.
[0016] The material production line includes unpacking, packing and sealing mechanisms. These modules are arranged in sequence along the production line to complete the automated unpacking, packing, sealing and labeling processes. The sealing mechanism has a built-in sliding track to drive the packed materials to go through sealing and labeling in sequence, and then transport them to the palletizing robot for palletizing after completion. The continuous automated operation of the material production line reduces manual intervention and waiting time, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the overall production line. The material production line adopts a linear layout, making the entire system more compact and reducing the floor space of the factory. This design not only helps to optimize space utilization, but also shortens the material transmission path from unpacking, packing, sealing to palletizing, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the linear layout facilitates the operation of each module in sequence, reducing the waiting time and transfer times of materials on the production line, and further reducing energy consumption in the production process.
[0017] The intelligent scheduling module in the control center dynamically optimizes the scheduling strategy by analyzing the material production speed and the occupancy of the stacking position. It adjusts the robot stacking path and material handling frequency according to the real-time production data, thereby optimizing the overall production efficiency. The intelligent scheduling module adjusts the production rhythm in real time, effectively alleviating the production bottleneck caused by uneven production speed or stacking position, and improving the utilization rate of the production line. In a further scheme, the system also includes a control center, and a positioning sensor and a material identification device are set on the material stacking platform. The positioning sensor is used to obtain the material position data, and the material identification device is used to obtain the characteristic data of the material. This information is transmitted to the control center wirelessly, so that the control center can dynamically adjust the stacking task according to the material parameters. Through the interaction between the control center and the identification device, the intelligent identification and position adjustment of the material are realized, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of material management and stacking.
[0018] Furthermore, fault sensors are provided on the manipulator, the suction component and the lifting drive, and the control center is electrically connected to the fault sensors. When a fault occurs, the control center automatically sends an alarm signal and triggers the stacking robot to suspend operation and maintenance procedures.
[0019] Furthermore, a mounting frame and a retractable support arm are provided at the bottom of the frame, a containing space is provided in the mounting frame, and the retractable support arm is arranged in the containing space. The retractable length of the retractable support arm can be adjusted according to the weight of the external material: when the weight of the external material is large, the retractable support arm can be extended to a longer length to increase the support area of the palletizing robot, thereby improving its stability and preventing shaking during the palletizing process; when the weight of the external material is small, the retractable support arm can be retracted to a shorter length to reduce the floor space and improve the flexibility of the equipment layout.
[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The multi-station fully automatic palletizing collaborative system of the present invention optimizes the palletizing process and improves production efficiency through the collaborative work of the palletizing robot, the material production line and multiple groups of material palletizing platforms. The palletizing robot adopts a flexible manipulator design, with a multi-axis rotation structure, a suction component, a lifting platform, etc., which can efficiently and stably complete multi-directional palletizing tasks. At the same time, through the cooperation of sensors and the control center, real-time monitoring and precise control are realized. The sequential modular design of the material production line, including functions such as unpacking, packing, and sealing, further improves the automation level of the system and reduces manual intervention and operating errors. The control center optimizes the production rhythm and scheduling strategy in real time through the intelligent scheduling module, avoids production bottlenecks, and improves palletizing efficiency and resource utilization. In addition, the positioning sensor and material identification device of the material stacking platform are connected to the control center, which realizes the intelligent identification and position adjustment of the material, ensuring the precise operation and efficient operation of the system. The overall system improves the automation level, flexibility and safety of the production line, and greatly optimizes production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
