[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs; the terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention; the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] Example: Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the intelligent logistics sorting robot based on the Internet of Things of the present application includes a driving base 10, a mechanical arm 20, a mechanical claw 30, a power component and a control unit.

[0034] The robot arm 20 is disposed on the driving base 10 , and the robot arm 20 includes a mounting plate 21 , a lower support arm 22 , an upper support arm 23 , a driving component 1 24 and a driving component 2 25 .

[0035] The mounting plate 21 is mounted on the driving base 10 , and the bottom end of the lower arm 22 is rotatably disposed on the mounting plate 21 .

[0036] The driving component 24 is mounted on the mounting plate 21, and the output shaft of the driving component 24 passes through the mounting plate 21 and is connected to the lower arm 22. The driving component 24 is used to drive the lower arm 22 to rotate vertically.

[0037] The driving component 24 may be a rotating motor.

[0038] It should be noted that there can be two mounting plates 21 , and the lower arm 22 is located between the two mounting plates 21 ; there can be two driving components 24 , and the driving components 24 correspond to the mounting plates 21 one by one.

[0039] The bottom end of the upper arm 23 is rotatably connected to the top end of the lower arm 22, and the second driving component 25 is installed on the top end of the lower arm 22. The output shaft of the second driving component 25 passes through the lower arm 22 and is connected to the upper arm 23. The second driving component 25 is used to drive the upper arm 23 to rotate vertically.

[0040] The second driving component 25 may be a rotating motor.

[0041] The mechanical claw 30 is disposed at the top end of the upper arm 23 .

[0042] It should be noted that the power component is used to provide energy for the operation of the detection platform, preferably an AC power supply or a battery; the control unit is used to control the coordinated operation of various components of the detection platform, preferably a programmable logic controller; all of which are prior arts and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] It can be understood that the mounting plate 21 is fixed on the rotating disk 13 of the driving base 10, so that the robotic arm 20 can rotate horizontally together with the rotating disk 13, and through the driving component 1 24 (rotating motor), the lower arm 22 can rotate vertically on the mounting plate 21 to achieve the angle adjustment of the robotic arm 20 in the vertical plane; through the driving component 25 (rotating motor), the upper arm 23 can rotate vertically at the top end of the lower arm 22 to further adjust the position and direction of the robotic claw 30.

[0044] Further, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the driving base 10 includes a housing 11, a driving component 3 12 and a rotating disk 13.

[0045] The driving component 3 12 is installed inside the housing 11 , and the rotating disk 13 is horizontally arranged above the housing 11 .

[0046] The output shaft of the driving component three 12 passes through the housing 11 and is connected to the rotating disk 13 . The driving component three 12 is used to drive the rotating disk 13 to rotate horizontally.

[0047] Among them, the driving component three 12 can be a rotating motor.

[0048] The mounting plate 21 is mounted on the rotating disk 13 .

[0049] It can be understood that, by driving component three 12 (rotating motor), the rotating disk 13 can rotate horizontally above the housing 11, thereby realizing all-round movement of the robot arm 20 in the horizontal plane.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mechanical claw 30 includes a driving component 4 31, a mounting frame 32, a driving component 5 33 and two clamping claws 34.

[0051] Among them, one end of the driving component four 31 is connected to the top end of the upper support arm 23, and the other end of the driving component four 31 is connected to the mounting bracket 32.

[0052] Among them, the driving component four 31 can be a rotating motor.

[0053] It should be noted that the driving component 31 drives the mounting bracket 32 ​​to rotate, and the rotation direction of the mounting bracket 32 ​​is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the upper support arm 23.

[0054] The two clamping jaws 34 are symmetrically hinged on a side of the mounting frame 32 away from the driving component 4 31 , and the driving component 5 33 is arranged between the two clamping jaws 34 .

[0055] It should be noted that the driving component 5 33 can be an automatic telescopic component, such as a telescopic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod.

[0056] Preferably, the driving component five 33 is located at one end of the clamping jaw 34 close to the driving component four 31, and the driving component five 33 drives the two clamping jaws 34 to open and close.

[0057] It can be understood that, through the driving component four 31 (rotating motor), the mounting frame 32 can rotate relative to the top of the upper arm 23, so that the mechanical claw 30 can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the rotation direction of the upper arm 23 to adjust the grasping angle; through the driving component five 33 (automatic telescopic component), the two clamping claws 34 can be opened and closed to achieve the grasping and releasing of objects.

[0058] When the intelligent logistics sorting robot based on the Internet of Things is actually running, the steps are as follows:

[0059] S1: After the robot starts, the control unit first initializes and checks the status of each component to ensure that they can work normally;

[0060] S2: Through the Internet of Things technology, the robot can receive the location information of the items to be sorted; the control unit calculates the target position to which the robot arm 20 and the robot claw 30 need to move based on this information;

[0061] S3: The control unit controls the rotating disk 13 of the driving base 10 to rotate, so that the mechanical arm 20 moves to a position close to the target object; then, the mechanical claw 30 is aligned with the target object by adjusting the rotation angles of the lower arm 22 and the upper arm 23;

[0062] S4: The control unit controls the driving component 5 33 to close the two clamping claws 34 to grab the target object;

[0063] S5: After grabbing the object, the control unit controls the movement of the robot arm 20 and the driving base 10 again to move the object to the designated sorting position; then, the driving component 5 33 is controlled to open the two clamping claws 34 to release the object;

[0064] S6: According to the next sorting task received by the IoT, the robot repeats the above operations until all sorting tasks are completed.

[0065] Further, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a fitting component 40 is respectively provided on one side of the two clamping jaws 34 that are close to each other.

[0066] The laminating member 40 includes a T-bar 41 and a laminating plate 42 .

[0067] One end of the T-shaped rod 41 is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping jaw 34 away from the mounting frame 32 , and the other end of the T-shaped rod 41 is connected to the laminating plate 42 .

[0068] The rotation direction of the T-shaped rod 41 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the mechanical claw 30 .

[0069] It should be noted that a through slot may be formed at one end of the clamping jaw 34 away from the mounting frame 32 , and the T-shaped rod 41 is rotatably embedded in the through slot.

[0070] Preferably, the two laminating plates 42 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0071] It can be understood that, as the rotation axis of the fitting component 40, one end of the T-bar 41 is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping jaw 34 away from the mounting frame 32, and the other end is connected to the fitting plate 42, so that when the clamping jaw 34 opens and closes, the fitting plate 42 has a certain range of motion relative to the clamping jaw 34 itself, thereby better adapting to the shape of the clamped object.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bonding plate 42 is an arc-shaped plate, and the arc center of the bonding plate 42 is located at the side of the bonding plate 42 away from the corresponding T-shaped rod 41 .

[0073] It should be noted that the curvature and length of the laminating plate 42 are selected according to actual needs and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It is understandable that the arc center of the bonding plate 42 is located on the side away from the T-shaped rod 41, so that the bonding plate 42 can better fit the curved surface of the clamped object, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the clamping.

[0075] Further, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the two laminating plates 42 are respectively provided with laminating blocks 43 at opposite ends thereof, and the laminating blocks 43 may be made of rubber.

[0076] It should be noted that one or more bonding blocks 43 may be provided on each bonding plate 42, and the volume and shape of the bonding block 43 are selected according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0077] It should be noted that the side of the bonding block 43 away from the corresponding bonding plate 42 can be set to a rough end surface, and the bonding block 43 can have a certain elastic deformation ability. The specific elastic coefficient of the bonding block 43 is selected according to actual needs and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] It can be understood that rubber is made of a material with certain elasticity and friction; the rough end surface of the fitting block 43 increases the friction between the clamped object and prevents the object from slipping during the clamping process, and its elastic deformation ability can further adapt to objects of different shapes.

[0079] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0080] 1. Through multi-level rotation drive (rotation of the rotating disk 13, the lower arm 22 and the upper arm 23 of the driving base 10), the robot can achieve all-round movement and precise positioning in three-dimensional space, greatly improving the flexibility and accuracy of sorting;

[0081] 2. The rotation and opening and closing functions of the mechanical claw 30 further enhance the diversity and adaptability of grasping objects, allowing the robot to handle objects of different shapes and sizes;

[0082] 3. Using the Internet of Things technology, the robot can receive sorting task information in real time and automatically plan the moving path and grasping strategy based on this information, realizing an automated and intelligent sorting process, which not only improves the sorting efficiency, but also reduces manual intervention and reduces operating costs;

[0083] 4. Through the T-shaped rod 41 of the fitting component 40 and the arc-shaped fitting plate 42, the clamping claw 34 can better adapt to the shape of the clamped object, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the clamping;

[0084] 5. The fitting block 43 is made of rubber and has a rough end surface and elastic deformation capability, which further enhances the friction between the clamped objects, prevents the objects from slipping, and improves the safety of sorting.

[0085] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
