At low speeds, the buffer structure 4 maintains the basic damping.

Detailed implementation manners

[0039] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the specific implementation manners.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] As Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, the automated inspection robot applied to the warehousing system provided in this embodiment includes an inspection device 1 applied to the warehousing system. The inspection device 1 includes an inspection robot 101, a lifting jack 102 disposed on the inspection robot 101, and a detection module 103 fixed to the top end of the lifting jack 102; it can achieve flexible adjustment in the vertical direction to meet the inspection requirements of shelves at different heights without manual intervention. The inspection device 1 further includes a charging box 107 for charging the inspection robot 101. The inspection robot 101 is provided with driving wheels 105 for movement. Protective frames 106 are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the inspection robot 101. A telescopic hole 104 for the lifting jack 102 is opened inside the inspection robot 101.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] As Figures 4 - 10 shown in the figure, to protect the detection module 103, a protection mechanism 2 is provided on the upper surface of the inspection robot 101 outside the lifting jack 102. The protection mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 3, a buffer structure 4 disposed on the mounting plate 3, a wheel frame 5, and a centrifugal adjustment structure 6. A contact roller 51 that abuts against the outer surface of the lifting jack 102 is rotatably mounted on the wheel frame 5. Specifically, the buffer structure 4 includes a first piston cylinder 401 and a second piston cylinder 406 fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate 3. A first piston block 402 is disposed inside the first piston cylinder 401. A first piston rod 403 extending outside the first piston cylinder 401 is fixed to the upper surface of the first piston block 402. A bearing block 404 is fixed to the top end of the first piston rod 403. A first buffer spring 405 is fixed between the bearing block 404 and the first piston cylinder 401; a second piston block 407, a baffle 408, and a pressure regulating plate 409 are disposed inside the second piston cylinder 406. A second buffer spring 412 is fixed between the baffle 408 and the pressure regulating plate 409. A second piston rod 411 is installed between the second piston block 407 and the baffle 408. Among them, a rotating shaft 52 is fixed inside the contact roller 51. The contact roller 51 is installed on the wheel frame 5 through the rotating shaft 52, and the rotating shaft 52 is connected to the inside of the wheel frame 5 through a bearing. In this embodiment, when the buffer structure 4 is in use, high-frequency impacts are first absorbed by the spring, and then hydraulic damping dissipates energy to avoid "hard landing". The hydraulic oils in the first piston cylinder 401 and the second piston cylinder 406 are interconnected to ensure that the damping forces of the two cylinders change synchronously. When the lifting jack 102 falls rapidly, the first piston cylinder 401 is quickly compressed, and the hydraulic oil flows into the second piston cylinder 406 through the connecting pipe 410. The pressure regulating plate 409 is resisted by the second buffer spring 412 to limit the flow rate of the oil, forming a reverse damping force.

[0045] It should be noted that both the interior of the first piston cylinder 401 and the second piston cylinder 406 are hollow, and a connecting pipe 410 is fixed between the first piston cylinder 401 and the second piston cylinder 406. A contact block that contacts the bearing block 404 is fixed on the outer surface of the lifting ejector rod 102. A stop block 413 that limits the baffle 408 is fixed inside the second piston cylinder 406. The first buffer spring 405 directly absorbs the impact force when the lifting rod falls, achieving rapid shock absorption. When the first piston block 402 moves inside the cylinder, the hydraulic oil flows through the connecting pipe 410 to form a controllable resistance. Among them, the pressure regulating plate 409 dynamically adjusts the hydraulic oil flow through the second buffer spring 412 to adapt to different impact intensities. The stop block 413 prevents the baffle 408 from excessive displacement, avoiding structural damage, realizing the advantages of a dual buffer protection mechanism, and at the same time having no power dependence, being a pure mechanical hydraulic system. The number of the first piston cylinders 401 can be two, and the two first piston cylinders 401 are symmetrically arranged. When the number of the first piston cylinders 401 is two, the connecting pipe 410 is a tee pipe. The buffer structure 4 is made of high-pressure resistant material.

[0046] To further improve the buffer effect, a linkage mechanism that cooperates with the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 is provided on the mounting plate 3. The linkage mechanism is driven by the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 to realize the adjustment of the buffer structure 4. Specifically, the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 includes a rotating rod 601, a rotating sleeve 602 sleeved outside the rotating rod 601, and a sliding sleeve 603. A swing arm 604 is hinged on the outer surface of the rotating rod 601. A connecting rod 606 is hinged between the rotating sleeve 602 and the swing arm 604. A swing ball 605 is fixed at the end of the swing arm 604. A synchronization structure 10 is provided between the rotating rod 601 and the rotating shaft 52. Specifically, the number of the swing arms 604, the connecting rods 606, and the swing balls 605 in the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 are all two, and the two swing arms 604 are symmetrically arranged. The sliding sleeve 603 rotates on the outer surface of the rotating sleeve 602. One end of the rotating rod 601 is connected to the outer surface of the wheel frame 5 through a bearing.

[0047] To achieve the linkage between structures, the synchronization structure 10 includes synchronous pulleys 1001 fixed to the outer surfaces of the rotating rod 601 and the rotating shaft 52. A synchronous belt 1002 is drivingly connected between the two synchronous pulleys 1001, and the two synchronous pulleys 1001 are of different sizes. The linkage mechanism includes a first transmission structure 7 and a second transmission structure 8. The first transmission structure 7 includes a vertical plate 701 fixed to the lower surface of the rotating sleeve 602, a threaded sleeve 704 rotatably installed inside the wheel frame 5, a gear 703 fixed to the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 704, and a toothed plate 702 fixed to the bottom end of the vertical plate 701 and meshing with the gear 703. A screw rod 705 passing through the inside of the wheel frame 5 is threadedly installed inside the threaded sleeve 704. Specifically, the second transmission structure 8 includes a sliding seat 801 slidably disposed above the mounting plate 3. An abutting block 802 is fixed to one side of the sliding seat 801, and an abutting pad 803 abutting against the outer surface of the lifting jack 102 is bolted to the outer surface of the abutting block 802. The abutting pad 803 is bolted and can be quickly replaced with different materials such as rubber / silicone to adapt to low-temperature environments. Two push arms 804 are hinged to the outside of the sliding seat 801, and one end of the screw rod 705 is fixed to the outer surface of the sliding seat 801. One end of one of the push arms 804 is hinged to a push rod 805 extending into the second piston cylinder 406 and fixed to the pressure regulating plate 409. A limiting block for limiting the push rod 805 is provided inside the second piston cylinder 406, and a sealing ring for cooperating with the push rod 805 is installed inside the second piston cylinder 406. One end of the other push arm 804 is hinged to a trigger block 806. A mounting seat 807 is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate 3, and a pressure sensing structure 808 for cooperating with the trigger block 806 is bolted to the outer surface of the mounting seat 807. The speed of the lifting rod is transmitted to the centrifugal mechanism in real time through the synchronous belt 1002. The centrifugal displacement of the swinging ball 605 is proportional to the square of the speed, realizing non-linear damping adjustment. At low speeds, the buffer structure 4 maintains the basic damping. When falling at high speeds, the centrifugal force pushes the rotating sleeve 602 to axially displace, driving the gear 703 to rotate through the toothed plate 702, causing the screw rod 705 to push the sliding seat 801 to compress the pressure regulating plate 409 by using the push rod 805, achieving precise matching of speed and damping.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the first-stage buffer is achieved by absorbing the instantaneous impact through the first buffer spring 405. The second-stage hydraulic spring system dynamically adjusts the damping coefficient through the pressure regulating plate 409, and the pressure sensing structure 808 monitors in real time to achieve double-stage buffering and pressure closed-loop control.

[0049] To ensure the stable operation of the first transmission structure 7 and the second transmission structure 8, a guide rod 809 extending into the interior of the wheel frame 5 is fixed to one side of the slide seat 801 close to the wheel frame 5. A limiting structure 9 for supporting the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 and the first transmission structure 7 is provided on the mounting plate 3. The limiting structure 9 includes a cross plate 901 fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate 3, a first limiting seat 902 fixed to the upper surface of the cross plate 901, and a second limiting seat 903 fixed between the first limiting seat 902 and the wheel frame 5. A limiting rod 904 penetrating through the interior of the vertical plate 701 is fixed between the two second limiting seats 903. A return spring 905 is fixed between the vertical plate 701 and the limiting rod 904. The return spring 905 in the limiting structure 9 ensures that the mechanism automatically resets in case of abnormality. The guide rod 809 prevents the slide seat 801 from deflecting and maintains the linear motion accuracy of the push rod 805. One end of the rotating rod 601 away from the wheel frame 5 is connected to the outer surface of the first limiting seat 902 by a bearing.

[0050] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, the principle of the book classification and placement device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] First, the abutting roller 51 contacts the outer surface of the lifting jack rod 102. When the lifting jack rod 102 moves up and down, the abutting roller 51 rotates, and the rotating shaft 52 drives the rotating rod 601 through the synchronous belt 1002, converting the linear motion of the lifting jack rod 102 into the rotational motion of the centrifugal adjustment structure 6;

[0052] When the centrifugal adjustment structure 6 is working, the rotating rod 601 thereon drives the swing arm 604 and the swing ball 605 to rotate. When the rotational speed increases, that is, when the lifting jack rod 102 descends too fast, the centrifugal force causes the swing ball 605 to swing outwards, pushing the rotating sleeve 602 to move axially. The sliding sleeve 603 drives the vertical plate 701 to move downwards, and then drives the toothed plate 702 to mesh with the gear 703, causing the threaded sleeve 704 to rotate. At this time, the screw rod 705 rotates with the threaded sleeve 704, pushing the slide seat 801 to move;

[0053] When the slide seat 801 moves, through the linkage of the push arm 804, the push rod 805 compresses the pressure adjustment plate 409, changing the hydraulic damping force of the second piston cylinder 406. At the same time, the trigger block 806 contacts the pressure sensing structure 808 to issue an alarm, absorbing the instantaneous impact through the first buffer spring 405, and providing continuous damping in cooperation with the second-stage hydraulic pressure and the second buffer spring 412, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0054] As certain terms are used in the specification and claims to refer to particular components. Those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different names to refer to the same component. The specification and claims do not distinguish components by the difference in names, but by the difference in functions of the components. As used throughout the specification and claims, "comprising" is an open-ended term and should be interpreted as "comprising but not limited to". "Substantially" means within an acceptable error range. Those skilled in the art can solve technical problems within a certain error range and basically achieve the technical effect.
