Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic handling equipment, and in particular to an omnidirectional stacking robot. Background Art

[0002] Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used in warehousing, logistics, automobile, retail and other industries to achieve unmanned automatic handling operations. Forklift-type automated guided vehicles are usually used for logistics operations in narrow passages and limited spaces. Existing forklift-type automated guided vehicles include a traveling mechanism arranged on the vehicle body. Through the electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance device on the vehicle body, the traveling mechanism is controlled by a computer to automatically move along the specified guidance path. A gantry assembly is arranged on the vehicle body, and a fork is movably arranged on one side of the gantry assembly. When the automated guided vehicle moves to the target position, the lifting mechanism on the gantry assembly moves to lift the fork to the target height. The automatic guidance device then controls the movement of the vehicle body so that the fork is extended to the bottom of the pallet in a rated posture. After the fork is lifted, the fork picks up the goods. The traveling mechanism is usually controlled by a set of fixed load wheels, and the steering is controlled by a single steering wheel or a double steering wheel to achieve straight line and arc walking.

[0003] However, traditional automated guided vehicles require a certain amount of space to complete their movement when performing stacking operations. After picking up and placing goods, the automated guided vehicles need to move and turn in the turning space between the shelves, which makes it difficult for automated guided vehicles to adapt to warehouses with increasingly dense storage and increasingly smaller spaces. Some warehouses have narrow working aisles and limited space, and the automated guided vehicles have a small rotation adjustment space, and cannot flexibly complete movements such as straight lines, arcs, translations, and rotations on the spot, making it difficult for automated guided vehicles to meet narrow aisle operations and reducing warehouse space utilization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0034] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 3 A stacking robot with omnidirectional travel comprises a vehicle body 1, two steering wheel assemblies 2 are fixedly arranged on one side of the bottom of the vehicle body 1, and the two steering wheel assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the vehicle body 1. The inner side of the vehicle body 1 is rotatably connected to a swing bridge frame 8 through a connecting shaft 11, and the axis of the connecting shaft 11 is colinear with the center line of the swing bridge frame 8. Two driving steering wheel assemblies 5 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the swing bridge frame 8, and the two driving steering wheel assemblies 5 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the swing bridge frame 8. A reducer 10 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the swing bridge frame 8, and a steering absolute value motor 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the reducer 10. The output end of the steering absolute value motor 9 is transmission-connected to the input end of the reducer 10, and the steering absolute value motor 9 cooperates with the reducer 10 to control the steering of the corresponding driving steering wheel assembly 5. A walking absolute value motor 4 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the swing bridge frame 8, and the walking absolute value motor 4 corresponds to the two driving steering wheel assemblies 5 respectively, and the output end of the walking absolute value motor 4 is transmission-connected to the input end of the driving steering wheel assembly 5.

[0035] When the vehicle body 1 is moving, the two walking absolute value motors 4 respectively control the steering wheels in the corresponding driving steering wheel assemblies 5 to rotate at a rated speed, and the two steering absolute value motors 9 cooperate with the reducer 10 to control the steering wheels in the corresponding driving steering wheel assemblies 5 to deflect the rated angles. The two steering wheel assemblies 2 can adjust their own deflection angles while providing support. The steering wheels in the driving steering wheel assembly 5 and the steering wheel assembly 2 can deflect the rated angles respectively to adjust the moving direction of the vehicle body 1, so that the vehicle body 1 can complete multiple omnidirectional movements including linear movement, arc movement, lateral movement and rotation on the spot, thereby improving the flexibility of the stacking robot. After picking up and placing goods, the stacking robot can directly drive sideways and straight away, which can meet the needs of narrow channel operations, avoid turning in the alley, save the space occupied by the shelves in the logistics warehouse, and is safe and efficient. The stacking robot adopts a four-point full servo drive structure to ensure stability and accuracy during driving.

A lithium battery 6 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the vehicle body 1, and a gantry assembly 14 is fixedly arranged on one side of the vehicle body 1. Two hydraulic cylinders 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the vehicle body 1. The two hydraulic cylinders 13 are located on both sides of the gantry assembly 14 and are opposite to the center line of the gantry assembly 14. The hydraulic cylinder 13 is used to drive the lifting mechanism in the gantry assembly 14 to move. The hydraulic drive assembly 12 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the vehicle body 1. The inner side of the gantry assembly 14 is slidably connected with a lifting plate 15. Two forks 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 15. The two forks 3 and the lifting plate 15 form a fork frame. The two forks 3 correspond to the positions of the two steering wheel assemblies 2 respectively. The bottom of the fork 3 can fit with the vehicle body 1 to ensure stable support during the transportation of goods. The gantry assembly 14 drives the fork frame to rise and fall through the lifting mechanism to complete the forking of goods.

[0037] Embodiment 2, as Figure 4-Figure 12 On the basis of the first embodiment, two support plates 22 are movably provided on one side of the vehicle body 1, and the two support plates 22 correspond to the two forks 3 respectively. The shape of the support plate 22 is adapted to the shape of the fork 3, and the support plate 22 is located at the top of the steering wheel assembly 2. Adjusting rollers 24 are rotatably connected on both sides of the support plate 22. Avoidance grooves are provided on both sides of the fork 3, and the positions of the avoidance grooves correspond to the positions of the adjusting rollers 24. An adjusting shaft 23 is rotatably sleeved at the top position of the support plate 22, and one end of the adjusting roller 24 is fixedly connected to the adjusting shaft 23 in a coaxial manner. The top roller body of the adjusting roller 24 extends out of the support plate 22, and an adjusting motor 16 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the two support plates 22, and the output end of the adjusting motor 16 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 19.

[0038] See also Figure 7 , also includes a pressure sensor 17, one side of one of the two support plates 22 is rotatably connected to a transmission shaft 20, the outer side of the transmission shaft 20 is fixedly sleeved with a transmission gear 18, the transmission gear 18 and the driving gear 19 are meshed with each other, one end of the transmission shaft 20 is fixedly connected to an adjusting roller 24, the number of pressure sensors 17 is set to at least two, and the number of pressure sensors 17 corresponding to a single support plate 22 is at least one, an adjustment frame 25 is provided on one side of the vehicle body 1, the adjustment frame 25 is located on one side of the lifting plate 15, and connecting plates 39 are fixedly connected on both sides of the adjustment frame 25, the connecting plate 39 is slidably connected to the door frame assembly 14, and the connecting plate 39 can slide and rise relative to the door frame assembly 14, and an adjusting cylinder 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the vehicle body 1, and the output end of the adjusting cylinder 26 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 25.

[0039] When goods are stacked on a pallet, the center of gravity of the goods may easily shift in the width direction of the two forks due to placement errors or irregular workpiece structures. This may cause the center of gravity of the pallet to shift in the width direction of the two forks after the three forks pick up the pallet, which may easily affect the driving stability of the automatic guided vehicle.

[0040] After the stacking robot forks the goods, the lifting plate 15 drives the fork 3 to descend. Fig.10 , the fork 3 moves to the bottom and fits with the vehicle body 1. At this time, the top of the adjusting roller 24 extends out relative to the top surface of the fork 3, thereby supporting the pallet. The pressure sensor 17 at the bottom of the support plate 22 detects the force of the corresponding support plate 22. When the difference between the detection values ​​of the pressure sensors 17 corresponding to the two support plates 22 is greater than the threshold value, the controller controls the adjusting motor 16 to drive the driving gear 19 to rotate the rated angle according to the detected difference, and the driving gear 19 drives the transmission gear 18 to rotate. The transmission gear 18 cooperates with the transmission shaft 20 to drive the adjusting roller 24 to rotate. While supporting the pallet, the adjusting roller 24 drives the pallet to move in the width direction of the fork 3.

[0041] The adjustment is stopped when the values ​​detected by the two pressure sensors 17 are less than the threshold value or reach the rated maximum adjustable distance of the pallet, thereby adjusting the center of gravity of the pallet without contacting the forks 3 at the bottom of the pallet, and avoiding additional wear on the pallet and the forks 3 while making the center of gravity of the pallet 3 close to the center of the two forks 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the body of the stacking robot when performing on-the-spot rotation and other turning actions, and further ensuring the reliability and flexibility of the stacking robot when moving in all directions. After the adjustment is completed, the adjusting cylinder 26 drives the adjusting frame 25 to descend, the adjusting frame 25 drives the supporting plate 22 to descend, and the supporting plate 22 drives the adjusting roller 24 to descend, so that the forks 3 support the pallet again.

[0042] An adjusting sleeve 21 is clamped on the outer side of the support plate 22, and the adjusting sleeve 21 can drive the support plate 22 to rise and fall. The pressure sensor 17 is located between the support plate 22 and the adjusting sleeve 21, and the pressure sensor 17 is fixedly connected to the adjusting sleeve 21. The adjusting sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 25. The lifting and lowering of the adjusting frame 25 drives the lifting and lowering of the adjusting sleeve 21, and the adjusting sleeve 21 drives the support plate 22 to move. The pressure sensor 17 detects the pressure value between the support plate 22 and the adjusting sleeve 21. A movable cylinder 27 is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate 22, and a support shaft 30 is rotatably connected to one side of the movable cylinder 27. A clamping roller 29 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the support shaft 30. The height difference between the clamping roller 29 and the corresponding adjusting roller 24 is adapted to the thickness of the support plate of the pallet. Electric push rods 31 are hinged on both sides of the support plate 22, and the output end of the electric push rod 31 is hinged to the movable cylinder 27.

[0043] When the adjusting roller 24 supports the pallet, the electric push rod 31 contracts and drives the movable cylinder 27 to rotate to vertical. The movable cylinder 27 drives the clamping roller 29 to rotate. The clamping roller 29 presses against the edge of the pallet to ensure effective contact between the pallet and the adjusting roller 24. When the center of the pallet deviates from the center between the two adjusting rollers 24, the friction between the single adjusting roller 24 and the pallet is prevented from being too small to cause slipping, resulting in deflection of the pallet during the adjustment process, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment process and further improving the reliability of the use of the stacking robot.

[0044] The support shaft 30 is located in one side of the movable cylinder 27 and is fixedly connected to the first friction plate 33. A sliding plug 28 is movably provided on the inner side of the movable cylinder 27. A movable rod 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plug 28. An adjusting rod 40 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plug 28. A movable plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting rod 40. A second friction plate 42 is slidably connected to the top of the movable cylinder 27. The second friction plate 42 can move in the normal direction of the first friction plate 33 relative to the movable cylinder 27. One side of the second friction plate 42 and the first friction plate 33 are both set as friction surfaces. One side of the second friction plate 42 and the movable plate 32 are set as inclined surfaces. The two inclined surfaces are matched with each other. Two push rods 38 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 1. The position of the push rods 38 corresponds to the position of the movable rod 37 when the movable cylinder 27 is in a vertical state. An adjusting spring 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the No. 2 friction plate 42. The adjusting spring 36 is used to drive the No. 2 friction plate 42 to reset.

[0045] The adjusting roller 24 is set as a rubber roller, and the pressing roller 29 presses the pallet with the center of gravity offset in the length direction onto the adjusting roller 24 to ensure the effective contact between the pallet and the adjusting roller 24. After the pallet is adjusted, the adjusting frame 25 drives the adjusting sleeve 21 to descend, the adjusting sleeve 21 drives the supporting plate 22 to descend, and the supporting plate 22 cooperates with the movable cylinder 27 to drive the pressing roller 29 to descend. At the same time, the movable rod 37 moves relative to the push rod 38, and the push rod 38 resists the movable rod 37, so that the movable rod 37 cooperates with the sliding plug 28 and the adjusting rod 40 to drive the movable plate 3 2 moves, the inclined surface of the movable plate 32 abuts against the second friction plate 42, pushing the second friction plate 42 close to the first friction plate 33, when the bottom of the pallet contacts the fork 3, the first friction plate 33 fits with the second friction plate 42, thereby limiting the rotation of the first friction plate 33, and the first friction plate 33 cooperates with the support shaft 30 to limit the rotation of the clamping roller 29, so that the clamping roller 29 is locked after the adjustment is completed, so that the clamping roller 29 cooperates with the fork 3 to fix the pallet, thereby preventing the pallet from deviating when the stacking robot turns, and further improving the stability of the vehicle body.

[0046] The sliding plug 28 is slidably connected with the movable cylinder 27, and a sliding seal is arranged between the sliding plug 28 and the movable cylinder 27. A connecting hole 35 is provided on one side of the shaft body of the support shaft 30. The support shaft 30 is arranged as a hollow shaft. The connecting hole 35 cooperates with the cavity of the support shaft 30 to communicate with the cavity of the movable cylinder 27 and the cavity of the pressing roller 29. An elastic rubber sleeve 41 is provided on the outer fixed sleeve of the pressing roller 29. An adjusting hole 34 is provided on the roller body of the pressing roller 29. When the sliding plug 28 rises relative to the movable cylinder 27, the gas at the top is passed through the connecting hole 35 and the adjusting hole 34. The node hole 34 is pressed into the inner side of the elastic rubber sleeve 41, causing the elastic rubber sleeve 41 to expand. While the clamping roller 29 clamps the pallet, the pressure exerted by the clamping roller 29 on the pallet is increased to ensure effective clamping. This can avoid excessive pressure provided by the clamping roller 29 when adjusting the center of gravity of the pallet, which would cause excessive friction between the adjusting roller 24 and the pallet and generate additional wear, thus affecting the service life of the adjusting roller 24. After the adjustment is completed, the clamping force is increased to ensure the stability of the pallet during transportation, thereby further improving the reliability of the operation of the stacking robot.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
