Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transport robots, and in particular to a wheeled transport robot. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the chassis of a wheeled humanoid handling robot generally uses a steering wheel mechanism for movement and steering operations. The steering wheel mechanism includes a rotating motor mechanism assembly and a traveling motor assembly. The existing rotating motor mechanism assembly and traveling motor assembly generally have the motor, reducer, driver, and encoder arranged separately, so the structure of the steering wheel mechanism is relatively complex and occupies a large space on the chassis. In the limited chassis space, the support span of the chassis is generally small. Due to the small remaining space on the chassis, most wheeled humanoid robots often place the power unit in the chest cavity of the upper body, which causes the center of gravity of the wheeled handling robot to be too high. In addition, the support span range of the wheel system itself is small, resulting in severe shaking of the chassis during the process of grasping objects, poor stability, and affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the operation. Existing wheeled humanoid robots have few degrees of freedom in lifting and lowering, and most of them only have one vertical feed mechanism, which makes the robot inflexible in movement and has a small operating range. At the same time, the torque provided by the robot's joint module is small, and the objects that can be carried are often very light. Therefore, a wheeled handling robot is provided to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The first recognition camera 322 is fixedly mounted on the first transmission base 321 and rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first transmission base 321. The second recognition mechanism 34 includes a second transmission base 341 and a second recognition camera 342. The second transmission base 341 is in transmission connection with the third rotary motor 33, which drives the second transmission base 341 to rotate vertically.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment, the first arm assembly 40 includes a first rotating arm mechanism 41, a second rotating arm mechanism 42, a third rotating arm mechanism 43, a clamping arm mechanism 44 and a third recognition camera 45; the first rotating arm mechanism 41 is movably arranged on the anti-flexion knee joint assembly 20; the second rotating arm mechanism 42 and the third rotating arm mechanism 43 are movably connected to the first rotating arm mechanism 41 in sequence, thereby realizing the multi-joint movement of the first arm assembly 40; the clamping arm mechanism 44 is movably connected to the third rotating arm mechanism 43, and the operation of the object to be transported is performed through the clamping arm mechanism 44; the third recognition camera 45 is fixedly arranged on the clamping arm mechanism 44, which can perform the identification operation on the object to be transported. Specifically, the first rotating arm mechanism 41 includes an arm joint motor and a rotating arm body, the arm joint motor is arranged on the anti-flexion knee joint assembly 20, the rotating arm body is connected to the arm joint motor, and the arm joint motor drives the rotating arm body to move; the second rotating arm mechanism 42 and the third rotating arm mechanism 43 are similar in structure to the first rotating arm mechanism 41, so their specific structures are not repeated here. The clamping arm mechanism 44 also adopts the existing technology, so its specific structure and working process are not described here in detail, as long as it meets the requirements of this application. In this embodiment, the second arm assembly 50 is the same as the first arm assembly 40, so the specific structure of the second arm assembly 50 is not described here in detail.

[0054] It should be noted that the specific working process of the wheeled transport robot of the present invention is as follows: the steering wheel mechanism 12 adopts a highly integrated rotating motor mechanism 122 and a driving wheel mechanism 124, so that the steering wheel mechanism 12 occupies a smaller space on the chassis body 11, making it easier to fix the battery mechanism 13 in the middle and rear position of the chassis body 11, so that the center of gravity of the robot body 20 is close to the overall center during the forward leaning movement, thereby improving the anti-overturning ability; the four steering wheel mechanisms 12 are symmetrically arranged on the four corners of the chassis body 11, so that the wheel system span is maximized, which greatly improves the stability of the chassis body 11 in all directions; and then the navigation radar mechanism 14, the obstacle avoidance camera 15 and the bottom obstacle avoidance radar 16 cooperate to realize the obstacle avoidance navigation operation of the chassis assembly 10;

[0055] The first telescopic arm body 222, the second telescopic arm body 242 and the third telescopic arm body 251 are driven by the first drive motor 221, the joint drive motor 23 and the second drive motor 242 to perform angle adjustment operations, thereby realizing multi-joint movement; when the first telescopic arm body 222 and the second telescopic arm body 242 are at an acute angle, that is, the reverse knee flexion joint assembly 20 performs a reverse knee flexion operation, the gas spring 263 is in a compressed state to provide support force to the second telescopic arm mechanism 24, thereby greatly reducing the output torque of the joint drive motor 23 to support the second telescopic arm mechanism 24; at the same time, the head recognition assembly 30 can be driven to perform a large-angle rotation operation through the rotating support mechanism 25, and then the first recognition mechanism 32, the second recognition mechanism 34 in the head recognition assembly 30 and the third recognition camera 45 respectively arranged on the first arm assembly 40 and the second arm assembly 50 cooperate to facilitate the identification operation of the items to be transported.

[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0057] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
