Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of package sorting and supplying, and in particular relates to a package supplying robot, a package supplying system and a package supplying method. Background Art

[0002] There are various existing sorting and packaging supply methods, which are generally divided into manual packaging supply and robot packaging supply. Manual packaging supply is labor-intensive, inefficient and prone to errors; robot packaging supply adopts a semi-automatic packaging supply method, which requires the robot to grab the materials to the semi-automatic packaging supply table for separate weighing and scanning for subsequent sorting, and the degree of automation is not high. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a bag supply robot, a bag supply system and a bag supply method, so as to solve the problem that the automation level of the prior art is low and the materials need to be weighed and scanned separately on a semi-automatic bag supply table.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] On the one hand, the present invention provides a package supply robot, including a robot body having a material grabbing mechanism disposed at the lower end, wherein a material weighing module is installed on the material grabbing mechanism for weighing the material when the material grabbing mechanism grabs the material; a scanning module is also installed on the material grabbing mechanism for scanning the material when the material grabbing mechanism grabs the material.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the robot body is a parallel robot or a six-axis robot provided with a material grabbing mechanism.

[0007] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a packaging supply system using the packaging supply robot described above, including a controller and a vision module, wherein the controller is electrically connected to the vision module, the robot body, the weighing module and the scanning module.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the visual module includes a camera.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution in the present invention, the controller is a PLC control system, a single-chip microcomputer or an industrial computer.

[0010] On the other hand, the present invention further provides a packaging method using the packaging system according to any one of the claims, the packaging method is as follows:

[0011] The visual module recognizes product information and pushes it to the controller;

[0012] The controller controls the robot to grab materials from the delivery machine. At the same time, the weighing module weighs the materials and pushes the weighing information to the controller, and the scanning module scans the materials and pushes the material information to the controller.

[0013] The controller judges the received weighing information and material information, and controls the robot to grab the material to the corresponding sorting line.

[0014] Beneficial effect: By installing a material weighing module and a scanning module on the robot body, the present invention can realize automatic weighing and scanning of materials while the robot body grabs the materials. In this way, there is no need to perform separate weighing and scanning on the semi-automatic packaging table, thereby realizing a fully automatic packaging mode and improving packaging efficiency.

[0015] The present invention combines robot vision technology to effectively identify products and categories, and makes action processing plans through analysis to achieve high-precision and high-speed materials. The robot can weigh and scan the materials simultaneously when grabbing them, and then sort the materials accurately. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
