A display screen baffle 11 is set inside the top of the lower box body 1, and a liquid crystal display screen 4 is installed inside the display screen baffle 11. The outer surface of the built-in aluminum profile 13 is fixedly installed with aluminum by M8 hexagon socket screws. The profile fixing block 6, the outside of the built-in aluminum profile 13 is provided with a movable hinge 15, and a camera fixing plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable hinge 15 by an M8 inner hexagon screw, and a camera and a light 17 are fixedly installed on one side of the camera fixing plate 16 by an M5 inner hexagon screw, and the camera and the light 17 are equidistantly distributed about the vertical center line of the built-in aluminum profile 13, and the camera and the light 17 are distributed one-to-one with the movable hinge 15, and the camera and the light 17 are arranged inside the lower box body 1, through the movable hinge 15 and the camera fixing plate 16. The design can adjust the angle of the camera and the light 17, which is convenient for pre-adaptive adjustment according to the height of the barcode on the bookshelf, reducing the limitation of barcode height scanning. The camera and the light 17 are arranged on one side of the camera fixing plate 16. Through the design of multiple groups of cameras and lights 17 with different heights, the barcodes at different heights on the bookshelf can be scanned synchronously, which is convenient for synchronous barcode collection of bookshelf barcodes, convenient for rapid inventory, and improves the inventory efficiency of the AGV inventory robot. The built-in aluminum profile 13 is fixedly installed inside the upper box 7 by M8 cross flat head screws.

Through the design of the lower inspection door 2 and the upper inspection cover plate 8, it is convenient to carry out targeted zoning inspection on the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7, so as to avoid that when one of the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7 fails, the entire lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7 are completely exposed and opened, so as to avoid foreign objects from entering the intact lower box body 1 or the upper box body 7, which affects the clarity of the barcode scanning by the camera and the light 17;

[0031] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the robot's power system provides power to create a map. Each time an aisle is opened, the robot is remotely controlled to enter the aisle to sense the environment and then create a map. After the map is created, a topological path is set, and the machine will follow this path when performing a task.

[0032] , cooperate with the AGV inventory robot to automatically plan the path through the built-in navigation system such as laser radar, visual navigation, inertial navigation, etc., cruise along the designated route, avoid obstacles, and flexibly adapt to different storage environments. Then, when visually inspecting the barcodes on the bookshelves, the machine first detects the barcodes of the cabinets on the left side of the aisle when entering the aisle. When the left side inspection is completed, it turns around at the end of the aisle to detect the barcodes of the cabinets on the right side. After the right side inspection is completed, it leaves the aisle and waits for the next cabinet to be opened before entering the inspection. This cycle repeats. During the inspection, the robot is equipped with RFID readers, cameras, barcode scanners and other equipment, and is equipped with lights for fill light (i.e., cameras and lights 17). It can automatically scan the goods, read the label information, and complete the collection and verification of inventory data. Then the control system issues a command to let the machine go in for inspection. After the machine inspects a certain aisle, it sends an inspection completion notification to the receiver, and the machine sends the inspection data to the designated receiver.

[0033] , upload machine status information, check aisle status, and check whether the aisle is open. That is, the control system is responsible for controlling the movement, navigation and inventory operations of the AGV.

[0034] In summary, if Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, when the AGV inventory counting robot is used, the power source is first provided by the robot's power system to create a map. Each time an aisle is opened, the machine is remotely controlled to enter the aisle to perceive the environment and then create a map. After the map is created, a topological path is set. The machine will follow the path when performing a task. The AGV inventory counting robot automatically plans the path through the built-in navigation system such as laser radar, visual navigation, inertial navigation, etc., cruises along the specified route, avoids obstacles, and flexibly adapts to different storage environments. Then, when visually inspecting the barcodes on the bookshelves, the machine first detects the barcode of the cabinet on the left side of the aisle when entering the aisle. When the left side inspection is completed, it turns around at the end of the aisle to inspect the barcode of the cabinet on the right side. After the right side inspection is completed, it exits the aisle and waits for the next cabinet to be opened before inspection. This cycle repeats. During inspection, the robot is equipped with RFID readers, cameras, barcode scanners and other equipment, and is equipped with lights for fill light (i.e., cameras and lights 17). It can automatically scan goods, read label information, and complete the collection and verification of inventory data. Then the control system issues instructions for the machine to conduct inspections. After the machine completes the inspections After a certain aisle, the machine sends the inspection completion notification to the designated interface, uploads the machine status information interface, checks the aisle status, and inquires whether the aisle is open. That is, the control system is responsible for controlling the movement, navigation and inventory operations of the AGV. In addition, the design of the movable hinge 15 and the camera fixing plate 16 can adjust the angle of the camera and the light 17, which is convenient for pre-adaptive adjustment according to the height of the barcode on the bookshelf, reducing the limitation of the barcode height scanning. Through the design of multiple sets of cameras and lights 17 at different heights, different Barcodes at the same height can be scanned synchronously, which is convenient for synchronous barcode collection of bookshelf barcodes, convenient for rapid inventory, and improves the inventory efficiency of AGV inventory robots. Secondly, through the design of the lower inspection door 2 and the upper inspection cover 8, it is convenient to carry out targeted partition inspection and maintenance of the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7, so as to avoid that when one of the lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7 fails, the entire lower box body 1 and the upper box body 7 are completely exposed and opened, so as to prevent foreign objects from entering the intact lower box body 1 or the upper box body 7, which will affect the clarity of the barcode scanning by the camera and the light 17.
