Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robotic equipment, and in particular to a two-in-one robotic storage and transportation tooling suitable for ship scenarios. Background Art

[0002] Currently, robots are widely used in key operations such as painting, roughing, and rust removal in shipbuilding and maintenance. However, the industry still faces numerous challenges in transporting, storing, and embarking and disembarking robots. First, robot transfer operations rely heavily on manual labor, requiring on-site workers to move equipment through manual labor such as pushing, pulling, carrying, and lifting. This is not only inefficient but also poses safety risks. Second, traditional transportation methods lack professional protective measures, making delicate components of robotic equipment susceptible to damage during transport due to collisions, vibration, or environmental factors, resulting in high repair costs. Third, existing aviation boxes and containerized storage and transportation equipment suffer from significant design flaws. Their functionality remains limited to basic storage and transportation, with poorly planned internal layouts. Robots and supporting equipment are often cluttered, making access cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, current equipment lacks automated embarkation and disembarkation capabilities, requiring manual lifting and handling during the critical transfer process between ship and dock. This outdated operation model is not in line with the development trend of modern intelligent manufacturing and severely restricts operational efficiency. This situation exposes the obvious shortcomings of the shipping industry in robot-supported logistics systems, and there is an urgent need to develop integrated, intelligent and professional solutions.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a two-in-one robot storage and transportation tooling suitable for ship scenarios. The storage and transportation tooling includes: a storage box unit 1, a track slide device 2, and an automatic lift unit 3. The storage box unit 1 is divided into two layers, the upper layer orderly placing the robot safety device, control box, cables, and other equipment. The lower layer is innovatively designed with a track slide device 2, which mainly houses the robot equipment, namely the robot body, to facilitate the movement of the robot equipment in and out. The outer side of the storage box unit 1 is designed with a lifting lug 110 to facilitate on-site crane transportation. The bottom of the storage box unit 1 and the automatic lift unit 3 are designed with a universal wheel module 111 to facilitate on-site small-scale movement. The automatic lift unit 3 is designed at the rear side of the storage box unit 1 and is designed with a robot fixing bracket 306 on the upper side. After the robot is fixed to the lifting unit 3, the lifting unit 3 can directly push the robot to the outer surface of the ship to achieve the robot boarding action. The present invention adopts a composite structural design, which is convenient to operate, can effectively reduce the preparation time before robot operation, improve the safety factor, and reduce the frequency of personnel safety accidents.

[0029] Specifically, the upper layer of the storage box unit 1 includes hooks 101 for placing cables and a middle partition 102. The hooks 101 are welded to both sides of the interior of the box, and the entire space is separated from the lower space by the middle partition 102. The lower layer of the storage box unit 1 includes a track slide 2. The track slide 2 is located on the bottom plate inside the box and is fixed to the storage box bottom plate 105 by a pull-out latch 208.

[0030] The storage box unit also includes a door frame structure 103, which is installed on the storage box side panel 107 through a hinge 112.

[0031] The storage box unit 1 includes a storage box top plate 106, a storage box bottom plate 105, a storage box rear plate 114 and a storage box side plate 107. The plates are assembled together by welding, and anti-collision beams 109 and lifting ears 110 are welded to the outside of the left and right side plates respectively, which effectively protects the tooling from collision while also facilitating the movement of the tooling.

[0032] The track sliding device 2 includes a sliding aluminum plate 201, a thickened handle 202, a short aluminum alloy square tube 203, a long aluminum alloy square tube 204, an aluminum alloy support hinge 205, a limit plate 206, a sliding wheel group 207 and a pull-out pin 208. Six thickened handles 202 with the same characteristics are installed on the upper surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201 facing the middle partition. The six thickened handles 202 are divided into three groups. The three groups of thickened handles 202 are respectively installed on the front edge, left edge and right edge of the upper surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201, which is convenient for pulling out the bottom plate when carrying the robot.

[0033] Long aluminum alloy square tubes 204 are positioned symmetrically on the lower surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201 along the front-to-back direction. A stop plate 206 is fixed to the rear edge of the lower surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201. The long aluminum alloy square tubes 204 and the stop plate 206 provide support when the sliding aluminum plate 201 is extended. The sliding wheel assembly 207 is mounted on the rear edge of the lower surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201 and is symmetrically positioned about the stop plate 206.

[0034] A short aluminum alloy square tube 203 is connected to the front edge of the lower surface of the sliding aluminum plate 201 via an aluminum alloy support hinge 205. The two short aluminum alloy square tubes 203 are arranged symmetrically. After the sliding aluminum plate 201 is pulled out, the short aluminum alloy square tube 203 can be rotated vertically via the aluminum alloy support hinge 205 to provide support. A pull pin 208 is positioned between the two aluminum alloy support hinges 205 and extends vertically through the sliding aluminum plate 201. When the track slide 2 is located within the storage box unit 1, the bottom end of the pull pin 208 inserts into the bottom plate of the storage box unit 1, securing the track slide 2.

[0035] The automatic lifting platform unit 3 includes a welding protection beam and a lifting vehicle device. The welding protection beam 301 is welded to form a protective outer frame of the lifting device, which is used to protect the robot in case of accidents during the lifting process.

[0036] The lifting vehicle device includes a lifting vehicle base 302, a push rod 303, a scissor arm 304, a top plate 305 and a robot fixing bracket 306. The lifting vehicle base 302 is connected to one end of the push rod 303 through a hinge, and the other end of the push rod 303 is connected to the top plate 305 through a hinge. The scissor arm 304 is symmetrically installed on the lifting vehicle base 302, and the top plate 305 is installed on the upper end of the scissor arm 304. Four robot fixing brackets 306 of the same specifications are installed on the top plate 305 for fixing the robot equipment.

[0037] In summary, the present invention provides a two-in-one robotic storage and transportation tooling suitable for shipboard scenarios. This tooling comprises a storage box unit, a track slide, and an automatic lift unit. The storage box unit is divided into two layers, the lower layer being used to house the track slide, on which the robotic equipment is placed for easy loading and unloading. The automatic lift unit is designed to be located at the rear of the storage box unit and is equipped with a robot mounting bracket.
