Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of production material transportation devices, and in particular to an intelligent carrier robot. Background Art

[0002] In the production and processing link of the factory assembly line, it is usually necessary to carry out multiple processes in sequence. Most production lines use conveyor belts to complete the task of transporting workpieces.

[0003] Taking clothing production and processing as an example, the entire process covers processes such as material cutting, sewing, sizing, and packaging. In the clothing production process, the material cutting and sewing processes take up relatively little time, while a large number of auxiliary operations take up a considerable amount of working time. These auxiliary operations not only involve material operations in various processing links, but also because a single workstation in the traditional production model is usually only responsible for the processing of a single process, and materials need to be frequently transferred between multiple processes, which further aggravates the consumption of auxiliary operation time.

[0004] In order to effectively reduce the time taken by auxiliary operations and improve the efficiency of clothing production, the industry currently generally uses hanging conveying equipment to transport clothing materials. This conveying method has significant advantages. Whether it is ready-made clothes, semi-finished products in the process of processing, or various unprocessed materials, they can all be transported with the help of hanging conveying equipment to improve material transportation and production efficiency.

[0005] Usually, the hanging conveying equipment mainly includes a closed track, a chain arranged on one side of the track, and a motor for driving the chain to rotate. The carrier for placing the production materials is located on the track, and a number of protruding push rods are provided on the chain. As the chain rotates, the push rods push the carrier to move, thereby realizing the transportation of production materials.

[0006] However, during the operation of the overhead conveyor equipment, the moving speed and moving path of the carrier are limited by the transmission speed of the chain and the set path, which makes the scheduling flexibility of the carrier and the production materials carried by the carrier poor, thereby affecting the overall production efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0007] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent vehicle robot, which can realize flexible scheduling of the vehicle within the track through the self-driving travel mode of the vehicle, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.

Detailed Embodiments

[0027] To make the technical solutions of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] An intelligent vehicle robot, as Figure 1 shown, includes a hollow connecting rod 1. The two ends of the connecting rod 1 are respectively fixedly connected with a mounting frame 2 and a storage rack 3. The storage rack 3 is used to carry materials. The setting method of the storage rack 3 can be adjusted according to the needs of assembly line production, such as a clothes hanger, a hanging basket, a metal frame, etc. In this application, the clothes hanger method is adopted.

[0030] The inside of the storage rack 3 is hollow and internally installed with a battery and a control circuit board coupled to the battery. A motor 4 is installed on the mounting frame 2. A rotating wheel 5 is connected to the motor 4. The motor 4 is coupled to the control circuit board. The battery powers the motor 4 through the control circuit board, thereby driving the rotating wheel 5 to rotate. The control circuit board communicates with the background server, and can upload the information of the vehicle robot and receive the instructions of the background server to control the operation of the vehicle robot.

[0031] In this embodiment, two motors 4 are provided. The two motors 4 and the two rotating wheels 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving direction of the mounting frame 2 respectively.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the mounting frame 2 includes a female frame 6 and a male frame 7 which are snap-connected. The two motors 4 are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the female frame 6 and the male frame 7. The motor 4 includes a stator wheel 8 and a rotor wheel 9. Both the female frame 6 and the male frame 7 are provided with stator mounting grooves 10. The stator wheels 8 of the two motors 4 are respectively fixedly installed in the stator mounting grooves 10 of the female frame 6 and the male frame 7.

[0033] After the female frame 6 and the male frame 7 are snap-connected, a cavity communicating with the connecting rod 1 is formed. Both the female frame 6 and the male frame 7 are provided with wire grooves 12 communicating the stator mounting grooves 10 and the cavity. The wires connected to the control circuit board pass through the hollow connecting rod 1 and are connected to the motor 4 through the cavity and the wire grooves 12, so as to control the operation of the motor 4.

[0034] Four claw fingers 13 are integrally formed along the circumference on the side of the male frame 7 close to the cavity. The outer side walls of the four claw fingers 13 are abutted against the inner wall of the female frame 6. The docking and installation of the male frame 7 and the female frame 6 are facilitated through the claw fingers 13. Threaded holes are penetrated through all the four claw fingers 13, and through holes are correspondingly formed on the side wall of the female frame 6. The threaded holes communicate with the corresponding through holes. After the male frame 7 and the female frame 6 are docked, the female frame 6 and the male frame 7 are fixed by screws.

[0035] An arc-shaped groove 14 is formed on the side wall of the male frame 7. The radian of the groove 14 is the same as the circumferential radian of the male frame 7. An arc-shaped rib 15 is fixed on the side wall of the female frame 6. The rib 15 is adapted to the groove 14. After the male frame 7 and the female frame 6 are docked, the rib 15 is received in the groove 14, so as to play a limiting role to prevent the male frame 7 and the female frame 6 from rotating relative to each other, thereby facilitating the screwing of the screw into the threaded hole. And the rib 15 can further improve the structural strength of the female frame 6 at the connecting rod 1 and reduce the phenomenon that the female frame 6 and the connecting rod 1 are broken and separated.

[0036] The rotating wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the rotor wheel 9 by screws. The rotating wheel 5 is provided with a rotor mounting groove. The rotor wheel 9 is located in the rotor mounting groove. A rubber cover 16 is sleeved outside the rotating wheel 5. The rubber cover 16 improves the friction force during the operation of the robot and improves the traveling stability of the robot.

[0037] The rotating wheel 5 is installed with a wireless charging coil 17 in the rotor installation groove. The wireless charging coil 17 is located between the rotating wheel 5 and the rotor wheel 9. A conductive slip ring (not shown in the figure) is connected between the wireless charging coil 17 and the control circuit board. The motor 4 is a pan-tilt motor 4. The central position of the rotor wheel 9 is hollow. The conductive slip ring is located in the hollow central position of the rotor wheel 9. The wireless charging coil 17 rotates together with the rotating wheel 5, and at the same time, transmits current to the control circuit board through the conductive slip ring to charge the battery.

[0038] The battery provides power for each component in the vehicle robot through the control circuit board. The wireless charging coil 17 charges the battery through the control circuit board, so as to realize the long-term self-driving of the vehicle robot and carry out material transportation.

[0039] The side wall of the mother frame 6 is provided with a window groove 18. A radar is installed in the window groove 18. The radar is arranged towards the traveling direction of the vehicle robot and is used to detect obstacles in front to reduce the occurrence of collisions of the vehicle robot.

[0040] Both the upper ends of the mother frame 6 and the sub-frame 7 are provided with card slots 19, and the card slots 19 of the sub-frame 7 communicate with those of the mother frame 6. An electronic tag or an RFID reader is installed in the card slot 19. When an RFID reader is installed on the track where the vehicle robot travels, an electronic tag is installed in the card slot 19. The material information carried by the storage rack 3 is recorded in the electronic tag. The RFID reader on the track can judge the current position of the storage rack 3 and obtain the material information by reading the information in the electronic tag; when an electronic tag is installed on the track, the road sign information of the track is stored in the electronic tag, and an RFID reader is installed in the card slot 19. The self-traveling path is obtained by reading the electronic tag on the track.

[0041] When an RFID reader is installed in the card slot 19, both the RFID reader and the radar are coupled to the control circuit board, and the connecting wires pass through the hollow connecting rod 1.

[0042] Embodiment 2:

[0043] Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is that: an intelligent vehicle robot, as Figure 4 shown, the mounting frame 2 can also be an integral structure. A fixed shaft 20 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 2. The fixed shaft 20 passes through the center of the motor 4 and is hollow. The fixed shaft 20 is communicated with the connecting rod 1.

[0044] The rotor wheel 9 is sleeved with a tire cover 23. The end of the fixed shaft 20 is sleeved with a mounting shell 21. The wireless charging coil 17 is fixedly connected inside the mounting shell 21. And the mounting shell 21 is buckled and covered with a mounting cover 22. The diameter of the mounting cover 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the tire cover 23. The wireless charging coil 17 is coupled to the control circuit board, and the wire between the wireless charging coil 17 and the control circuit board passes through the fixed shaft 20 and the connecting rod 1.

[0045] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
