Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of palletizing, and particularly to a multi-modal perception palletizing robot. Background Art

[0002] The roller conveyor line is a commonly used conveying device, which consists of a plurality of conveyor rollers arranged side by side. Each conveyor roller rotates in the same direction to convey the items placed thereon. Bagged goods are commonly conveyed by a roller conveyor line and then palletized by a palletizing robot after being conveyed to the designated position. The palletizing robot cooperating with the roller conveyor line usually uses a fork-type mechanical claw to stack bagged goods. This mechanical claw includes two relatively arranged claws, and each claw is provided with a plurality of claw fingers at intervals so as to extend into the interval between the conveyor rollers and lift the goods from the bottom.

[0003] When the existing palletizing robot palletizes bagged products such as rice, due to the very smooth surface of the claws, when the goods are lifted and then put down, they usually slide down rapidly along the surface of the claws and fall on the board or the already palletized bags. Due to the large gravity and high speed, when falling, not only a large amount of dust is lifted, but also it is very likely to cause damage to the surface of the bag, resulting in the rice inside the bag flowing out, which is difficult to clean later and affects the stability of palletizing. At the same time, most mechanical claws do not have a locking function when lifting the grabbed goods. In case of sudden power failure, the mechanical claws cannot maintain the clamping state, resulting in the dropped grabbed items. Therefore, the present application provides a multi-modal perception palletizing robot to meet the requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In the above solution, by providing a grasping mechanism and a shoveling component, cooperating with the slow descent component, during the process of clamping and lifting an item and moving it, the item is slowly descended within the grasping mechanism, avoiding the stacking method where the item directly drops due to directly releasing the clamping jaws, reducing the impact force during item stacking, avoiding damage to the packaging bag of the item, improving the stability of stacking.

[0022] By providing a mating head component and a support head component, when lifting the item after clamping, it is automatically locked to prevent the item from falling due to accidental power failure.

[0023] By providing a clamping plate, a threaded sleeve, a turntable screw rod, and an adjusting disk column, it is convenient to adjust the angles of the slow descent outer plate and the inner track plate in the slow descent component as needed.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-modal perception palletizing robot, including a three-axis robotic arm 1. A grasping mechanism 10 is installed at the end of the three-axis robotic arm 1. A cylinder 11 is installed on the top of the grasping mechanism 10. A chute 12 is opened on the top surface of the grasping mechanism 10. Two groups of pulling arms 13 are arranged at the output end of the cylinder 11. The pulling arms 13 are arranged inside the chute 12. Two groups of clamping arms 14 are rotatably installed at the ends of the two groups of pulling arms 13. The ends of the clamping arms 14 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the grasping mechanism 10. A probe 15 is installed at the center position of the bottom of the grasping mechanism 10. Two groups of lifting components 2 are installed at the bottom ends of the two groups of clamping arms 14. The lifting components 2 are used for lifting the items to be palletized; two groups of slow-down components 3 are installed at the bottom ends of the two groups of lifting components 2. The slow-down components 3 are used for reducing the falling speed of the palletized items; two groups of sliding trigger components 4 are installed on the top surfaces of the two groups of slow-down components 3. The sliding trigger components 4 are used for carrying the palletized items to slide on the slow-down components 3; a coupling head component 5 is installed at the bottom end of one of the two groups of slow-down components 3, and a support head component 6 is installed at the bottom end of the other group of slow-down components 3. The coupling head component 5 is used to cooperate with the support head component 6 for locking, and can cooperate with the impact when the sliding trigger component 4 moves downward to unlock the coupling head component 5 and the support head component 6.

[0045] As an implementation manner in this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 5 shown, the lifting component 2 includes a shovel plate 20. The shovel plate 20 is installed at the bottom end of the clamping arm 14. Rotary columns 21 are installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping arm 14. A side plate 22 is installed on the bottom surface of the clamping arm 14. A rotating cylinder 23 is rotatably connected inside the side plate 22. A clamping plate 24 is installed on the left side of the bottom of the shovel plate 20. A threaded sleeve 25 is installed on the same side of the bottom of the shovel plate 20 as the clamping plate 24. A turntable screw 26 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 25. A gear disk 29 is installed at the left end of the threaded sleeve 25. An adjusting disk column 27 is arranged on the left side of the gear disk 29. A locking tooth 28 is installed on the right side of the adjusting disk column 27. The inner wall of the adjusting disk column 27 is rotatably connected to the surface of the turntable screw 26.

[0046] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the descending speed of the rice bag according to different working conditions, the staff stops the machine and manually loosens the turntable screw 26. At this time, the adjusting disc column 27 is no longer tightly engaged with the tooth disc 29 through the right-side teeth 28. Then, pull the adjusting disc column 27 outwards and rotate the adjusting disc column 27 and the rotating insertion rod 30 (there is a certain left-right translation space at the bottom end of the shovel plate 20 for the rotating insertion rod 30 and the adjusting disc column 27 to support the pulling out and fastening of the adjusting disc column 27). After adjusting the angle, insert the cylinder at the front section of the adjusting disc column 27 into the corresponding clamping plate 24. Finally, tighten the turntable screw 26. Through the tightening force and the meshing and fastening of the teeth 28 and the tooth disc 29, the descending outer plate 31 is locked, completing the angle adjustment of the descending component 3. Since the inclination angle corresponds to the sliding speed, the descending speed of the rice bag by the descending component 3 can be quickly adjusted.

[0047] As an implementation manner in this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 9 shown, the descending component 3 includes a rotating insertion rod 30, which is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the shovel plate 20 with damping. The bottom end of the rotating insertion rod 30 is installed with a descending outer plate 31. The inner side of the descending outer plate 31 is installed with an inner track plate 32. The inner side of the inner track plate 32 is provided with a side chute 33. A groove 34 is opened at a position near the bottom end of the inner track plate 32. The left end of the rotating insertion rod 30 is fixedly connected to the right side of the adjusting disc column 27. The sliding trigger component 4 includes a mounting block 40, which is installed on the inner side of the descending outer plate 31. A tension spring 41 is installed at the bottom of the mounting block 40. The bottom end of the tension spring 41 is provided with a rotating seat 42. The two sides of the bottom end of the rotating seat 42 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the side chute 33. The top of the rotating seat 42 is installed with an L-shaped tray 43. A buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped tray 43.

[0048] In this embodiment, during the lifting and moving process of the rice bag, the rice bag is synchronously affected by its own gravity and moves downward, driving the two groups of L-shaped trays 43 at the bottom to slide slowly downward. The L-shaped trays 43 slide in the side chute 33 through the rotating seat 42 and pull the tension spring 41 to store energy. The tension spring 41 is used for the reset of the L-shaped tray 43 and can also provide a certain deceleration effect. Subsequently, when the three-axis robotic arm 1 drives the grasping mechanism 10 to transport the clamped rice bag to the stacking position and moves downward, the U-shaped clamp 51 is in close contact with the support plate 61 on the plate to be placed or the already stacked rice bag. Exactly, the two groups of L-shaped trays 43 also move to the bottommost end. At this time, the L-shaped tray 43 will reach the groove 34 near the bottom of the inner track plate 32 and will rotate 90 degrees inward on the rotating seat 42 along the shape of the groove 34 to reach the appropriate angle for placing the rice bag. At the same time, the buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 at the bottom will produce a buffering effect when it touches the bottom to prevent excessive impact from causing damage to the packaging. And the buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 will push the gravity push plate 53 at the top of the U-shaped clamp 51 under the gravity of the rice bag itself. The gravity push plate 53 moves downward at this time and pushes the upper support plate 61, pushing the support plate 61 inward to form an unlocked state. At this time, the support plate 61 no longer spreads and is clamped inside the U-shaped clamp 51. At this time, the air cylinder 11 is activated to slowly push the pull arm 13 to push open the clamping arm 14. At this time, the U-shaped clamp 51 is separated from the support plate 61, and the U-shaped clamp 51 and the support plate 61 have formed a certain pressing force on the top surface of the plate or the already stacked rice bag. And because the bottom surfaces of the U-shaped clamp 51 and the support plate 61 are arc-shaped and very smooth, the rice bag below will be smoothed during the unfolding process to prevent the next rice bag from tilting after being placed on it.

[0049] As an implementation manner in this embodiment, as Figures 10 to 12 shown, the coupling head assembly 5 includes a first mounting seat 50, the first mounting seat 50 is mounted at the bottom of the slow-down outer plate 31, a U-shaped clamp 51 is mounted inside the first mounting seat 50, a slot 52 is formed on the top surface of the U-shaped clamp 51, a gravity push plate 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 52, an elastic telescopic rod II 54 is mounted at the bottom on one side of the gravity push plate 53, the bottom end of the elastic telescopic rod II 54 is mounted on the top surface of the U-shaped clamp 51. The support head assembly 6 includes a second mounting seat 60, the second mounting seat 60 is mounted at the bottom of another slow-down outer plate 31, two support plates 61 are mounted inside the second mounting seat 60, a spring support clamp 62 is mounted inside the support plates 61, the elastic end of the spring support clamp 62 is mounted in the two support plates 61, inside the top support plate 61, the bottom support plate 61 is fixedly connected to the inside of the second mounting seat 60, the outer shapes of the two spring support clamps 62 are the same as the inner contour diameter of the U-shaped clamp 51, and the top support plate 61 is movably connected to the inside of the second mounting seat 60.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cylinder 11 drives the gradual merging of the clamping arms 14. At the same time, the bottom surface of the rice bag is exactly supported on the two groups of L-shaped trays 43. At this time, the U-shaped clamp 51 of the closing head assembly 5 also exactly merges with the support plate 61. When merging, the upper part of the support plate 61 will contract inward and compress the spring support clamp 62 until it completely enters the U-shaped clamp 51 and bounces up by the elastic force of the spring support clamp 62 to form a temporary lock, preventing the rice bag from falling suddenly in case of a power outage when lifting the rice bag. And the buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 will be pushed by the gravity of the rice bag itself to push the gravity push plate 53 at the top of the U-shaped clamp 51. At this time, the gravity push plate 53 moves downward to push the upper support plate 61, pushing the support plate 61 inward to form an unlocked state. At this time, the support plate 61 no longer spreads and is fixed inside the U-shaped clamp 51. At this time, the cylinder 11 starts to push the pull arm 13 to slowly push open the clamping arms 14. At this time, the U-shaped clamp 51 is separated from the support plate 61, which does not affect the later release of the rice bag.

[0051] The working principle of the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: First, the staff starts the program through the control center. At this time, the three-axis robotic arm 1 moves the grasping mechanism 10 above the rice bag conveyed by the roller conveyor line. At this time, the probe 15 senses the rice bag to be palletized. Subsequently, the cylinder 11 starts and pushes the pull arm 13 downward. The pull arm 13 pushes the clamping arms 14 to expand to the maximum on both sides. Subsequently, the three-axis robotic arm 1 moves the grasping mechanism 10 downward, and the clamping arms 14, the shovel plate 20, and the slow-down outer plate 31 are lowered below the rice bag. The L-shaped tray 43 reaches the position below the horizontal line of the rice bag. Subsequently, the cylinder 11 pulls the pull arm 13 upward again, pulling the clamping arms 14 to clamp the rice bag in the middle. The rice bag is shoveled up by the shovel plate 20, and the friction is reduced by the rotation of the rotating cylinder 23. The rice bag is clamped onto the shovel plate 20, and the friction is reduced by the rotation of the rotating column 21 to prevent scratching.

[0052] Subsequently, as the cylinder 11 drives the gradual merging of the clamping arms 14, and at the same time the bottom surface of the rice bag is exactly supported on the two groups of L-shaped trays 43, at this time the U-shaped clamp 51 of the closing head assembly 5 also exactly merges with the support plate 61. During the merging, the upper part of the support plate 61 will contract inward and compress the spring support clamp 62 until it completely enters the U-shaped clamp 51 and bounces up by the elastic force of the spring support clamp 62 to form a temporary lock, preventing the rice bag from falling suddenly due to a power outage when lifting the rice bag. Subsequently, the rice bag is lifted. During the lifting and moving process, the rice bag will synchronously be affected by its own gravity and move downward, and drive the two groups of L-shaped trays 43 at the bottom to slide slowly downward, so that the L-shaped trays 43 slide in the side chute 33 through the rotating seat 42 and pull the tension spring 41 to store energy. The tension spring 41 is used for the reset of the L-shaped tray 43 and can also provide a certain deceleration effect. Subsequently, when the three-axis robotic arm 1 drives the grasping mechanism 10 to transport the clamped rice bag to the stacking position and moves downward, the U-shaped clamp 51 is in close contact with the support plate 61 on the to-be-placed board or the already stacked rice bag. Exactly at this time, the two groups of L-shaped trays 43 will also move to the bottommost position. At this time, the L-shaped tray 43 will reach the groove 34 near the bottom of the inner track plate 32 and will rotate 90 degrees inward on the rotating seat 42 along the shape of the groove 34 to reach the appropriate angle for placing the rice bag. At the same time, the bottom buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 will produce a buffering effect when touching the bottom, and the buffer elastic telescopic rod 44 will push the gravity push plate 53 at the top of the U-shaped clamp 51 by the gravity of the rice bag itself. At this time, the gravity push plate 53 moves downward to push the upper support plate 61 and push the support plate 61 inward to form an unlocked state. At this time, the support plate 61 no longer spreads and is fixed inside the U-shaped clamp 51. At this time, the cylinder 11 is activated to push the pulling arm 13 to slowly push open the clamping arm 14. At this time, the U-shaped clamp 51 is separated from the support plate 61, and the U-shaped clamp 51 and the support plate 61 have formed a certain pressing force on the top surface of the board or the already stacked rice bag that they have contacted. During the unfolding process, it will also smooth the rice bag below. At this time, as the shovel plate 20 and the slow-drop outer plate 31 slowly open the rice bag, the rice bag leaves the top of the U-shaped clamp 51 and the support plate 61 and steadily lands on the board or the already stacked rice bag above, completing one stacking operation.

[0053] When it is necessary to adjust the inclination angle of the descent component 3 according to the operating conditions to adjust the descent speed, the staff stops the machine and manually loosens the turntable screw 26. At this time, the adjusting disk column 27 is no longer fastened by meshing with the right-side gear teeth 28 and the gear disk 29. Then, pull the adjusting disk column 27 outwards and rotate the adjusting disk column 27 and the rotating insertion rod 30 (there is a certain left-right lateral movement space at the bottom end of the shovel plate 20 for the rotating insertion rod 30 and the adjusting disk column 27 to support the pulling out and fastening of the adjusting disk column 27). After adjusting the angle, insert the cylinder at the front end of the adjusting disk column 27 into the corresponding clamping plate 24. Finally, tighten the turntable screw 26.
