Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot technology, in particular to a four-corner floor-standing multifunctional service robot. Background Art

[0002] Since the introduction of industrial robots into industrial production in the 1970s, they have had a profound impact on industrial development, labor productivity, the labor market, and environmental engineering. Over the past few decades, robotics technology has advanced at an astonishing pace. The first generation of robots has been widely used in production; the second generation of perceptive robots has also achieved significant breakthroughs; and the research on third-generation humanoid intelligent robots has become a cutting-edge high-tech project in many countries. Robots offer significant advantages over humans in nuclear industry sites, deep-sea oil platform maintenance, battlefield mine clearance, ammunition transportation, and firefighting. Robots are also finding increasing application in other industrial and agricultural fields.

[0003] Robot dogs and robotic arms both fall under the category of robots. Robot dogs are the most prominent example of entertainment robots today and are also the most widely discussed. Beyond entertainment, some developers have begun expanding their existing capabilities with practical functions, such as anti-theft alarms, search and tracking, similar to but superior to real dogs. Sony's Aibo robot dog and the British company's Shank robot dog boast impressive stature, the ability to roam freely, leap over high barriers, play soccer with humans, jump and roll, and crawl like crabs. In short, robot dogs have diverse applications, primarily in entertainment, education, security, search and rescue, emergency response, military, logistics, and transportation.

[0004] A robot arm is an automatic operating device that can imitate certain movements and functions of the human hand and is used to grasp, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed procedure. It can replace human labor to achieve mechanization and automation of production, and can operate in harmful environments to protect personal safety. Therefore, it is widely used in machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry and atomic energy sectors.

[0005] Since ancient times, in terms of logistics and transportation, traditional cargo handling generally relies on manual labor to move goods to designated transportation devices. With the continuous development of technology, some large robot dogs or manipulators are used to replace traditional cargo handling and delivery of items. Although this has improved transportation efficiency, both robot dogs and manipulators have their limitations in handling and transportation. They can only operate within the planned and limited movement area. Current delivery robots mostly use wheeled chassis, which have poor mobility in complex terrain (such as stairs and gravel roads). Existing takeout delivery boxes lack temperature control and sterilization functions, and food is easily spoiled; charging requires manual intervention and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a four-corner floor-standing multifunctional service robot, which solves the problems that both robot dogs and manipulators have their limitations in handling and transportation. They can only be used within the planned and limited movement line area. The existing takeout delivery boxes lack temperature control and sterilization functions, the food is easily spoiled, and the efficiency is low.

[0012] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes rotating plates located on both sides of the shield and swinging back and forth. The ends of the two rotating plates are connected by cleaning rollers and fixed with bolts. The cleaning rollers are in contact with the glass surface.

[0013] A four-corner floor-standing multifunctional robot service system, comprising: The central control module coordinates the operation of the robotic arm, camera, and drive unit; The object interaction system uses the rotation, pitch, and height adjustment of the telescopic camera to scan the object position and guide the robotic arm to complete the pick-and-place action; Temperature-controlled logistics module, linking heating equipment and sterilization lamps, activates sterilization mode or constant temperature distribution mode according to item type; The autonomous charging module plans a route to the charging station when detecting that the power level is below the threshold.

[0014] Preferably, a force sensor is provided at the end of the robotic arm, which cooperates with the camera to achieve: a. When picking up an object, the camera extends to identify the object's position, and the robotic arm adaptively adjusts the grasping angle; b.

In addition, the automatic switching of the sterilization / heating function reduces the cargo damage rate to 0.8%, solving the core defects of temperature-sensitive items deteriorating (such as takeout) and hygiene risks during delivery.

[0018] 2. The present invention adopts the method of plugging and magnetic attraction to protect the camera, and at the same time adds a reciprocating cleaning roller to clean the glass, providing an illumination effect for the camera and preventing the use of the camera from being affected by rainy days.
