[0002] With the rapid development of the civil aviation industry, the airport passenger throughput and the amount of checked luggage continue to surge, and the traditional manual luggage handling mode faces the dual pressures of efficiency bottleneck and high cargo loss rate. The use of intelligent robots to achieve automated stacking has become a key path to improve the throughput capacity of the luggage system and reduce operating costs. However, the luggage to be stacked at the airport has a large size span, a variety of materials, and complex surface textures, among other uncertainties. This diversity poses a severe adaptability requirement for the grabbing mechanism, which needs to simultaneously accommodate different sizes of loads and achieve reliable non-damage grabbing of various types of luggage.
[0003] Current robot grabbing mechanisms used in luggage stacking generally use pneumatic or electric clamps, but in actual application, they have significant defects: when clamping smooth and hard boxes, the clamping may slip due to insufficient friction, especially in high-speed motion scenarios, which may cause the luggage to fall off; when clamping soft bag luggage, the soft bag may deform, and the clamping force is not evenly transmitted after deformation, thereby increasing the risk of bag falling off; when clamping small-size luggage, the clamping torque may be too large, which may easily cause the luggage to tip over. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an intelligent robot luggage stacking and grabbing mechanism and a control method thereof to reduce the bag falling rate and improve the adaptability of the stacking system.

[0013] Further, a controller is further included; a negative pressure sensor is further arranged on the suction disc, and the negative pressure sensor and the vacuum pump are electrically connected with the controller; the negative pressure sensor is used for detecting the negative pressure in the suction cavity and feeding back the detected negative pressure value to the controller; and the controller is used for controlling the opening and closing of the vacuum pump according to the received negative pressure value.
[0014] The present application provides a basic scheme two: a control method of the intelligent robot luggage stacking grabbing mechanism, which is used for controlling the intelligent robot luggage stacking grabbing mechanism.
[0015] Further, the following steps are included:

For soft bags or uneven luggage, the single clamping mode of the servo clamping mechanism is adopted to realize stable grabbing through the anti-skid contact surface. For smooth and hard box bodies, the single suction mode of the pneumatic suction cup mechanism is adopted to realize non-contact grabbing relying on the negative pressure adsorption principle, effectively avoiding the risk of clamping slipping and significantly improving the grabbing success rate of special-shaped and fragile luggage. If the size of the smooth and hard box body is too large, the composite mode of low-pressure servo clamping + suction cup auxiliary stability can also be adopted. The servo electric cylinder can accurately control the clamping force, and the suction cup provides auxiliary constraint in the vertical direction to eliminate the risk of package falling caused by the difference in force transmission path in the traditional clamping mode. In addition, the arrayed adsorption holes can ensure that the suction cup and the luggage surface form a uniform negative pressure field, which not only avoids the damage to the luggage surface caused by the pressure concentration of the traditional suction cup, but also maintains the adsorption stability under high-speed motion state. Finally, the force sensor and the negative pressure sensor are integrated in the present scheme, which can monitor the grabbing process data in real time when the clamping mode adopted is single suction mode or single clamping mode, and automatically adjust the clamping mode under abnormal working conditions to prevent the luggage from falling. In summary, the present scheme can realize the grabbing of multiple types of luggage, reduce the package falling rate, and further improve the adaptability of the stacking system.

In this embodiment, the connecting flange 101, the force sensor 102, and the mounting base 103 are fixedly connected through the bolt connection mode. The force sensor 102 adopts a six-dimensional force sensor 102.
[0037] The servo clamping mechanism comprises a plurality of clamping assemblies arranged in linear array, in the embodiment, the servo clamping mechanism comprises two groups of clamping assemblies arranged in linear array perpendicular to the movement direction of the clamping plates 201. The clamping assembly comprises two clamping plates 201 arranged oppositely and a servo electric cylinder 202 arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the clamping plates 201, the controller is electrically connected with the servo electric cylinder 202, for controlling the opening and closing of the servo electric cylinder 202; the output end of the servo electric cylinder 202 is fixedly connected with the clamping plate 201; the servo electric cylinder 202 is fixedly connected at the bottom of the mounting base 103, in the embodiment, the output end of the servo electric cylinder 202 and the mounting base 103 are fixedly connected in a bolt connection manner. The servo electric cylinder 202 is used to drive the corresponding clamping plate 201 to move linearly along the horizontal direction, the movement directions of the output ends of the servo electric cylinders 202 are parallel, the two servo electric cylinders 202 in the same group drive the corresponding clamping plates 201 to move oppositely or away from each other, so as to realize the taking and placing of the luggage. In the embodiment, in order to improve the friction coefficient and enhance the stability of luggage grabbing, a plurality of anti-skid strips 203 are arranged on the inner side wall of the clamping plate 201, the anti-skid strips 203 are vulcanized rubber strips, which are adhered to the inner side wall of the clamping plate 201 by epoxy resin; in other embodiments of the application, V-shaped anti-skid strips 203 can also be used to further improve the stability.
[0038] The pneumatic suction cup mechanism comprises a suction cup 301, a connecting bracket 302, a vacuum pump and two oppositely arranged air cylinders 303; the two air cylinders 303 are fixedly connected on the two side surfaces of the mounting base 103, the suction cup 301 is located between the two oppositely arranged clamping plates 201 in the clamping assembly; specifically, the top of the connecting bracket 302 is fixedly connected with the output ends of the two air cylinders 303, the bottom is fixedly connected with the top of the suction cup 301, the controller is also electrically connected with the air cylinders 303, for controlling the opening and closing of the air cylinders 303, so that the suction cup 301 can be driven by the air cylinders 303 to move linearly along the vertical direction, and then when the luggage is clamped only by the servo clamping mechanism, the suction cup 301 is lifted to reserve a grabbing space for the clamping of the clamping plate 201; when the luggage needs to be sucked, the suction cup 301 is driven to descend to the working position.
[0039] As Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the suction cup 301 is provided with a plurality of arrayed suction holes 304 to ensure that the suction cup 301 forms a uniform negative pressure field with the surface of the luggage. This avoids damage to the luggage surface caused by pressure concentration in traditional suction cups 301, and also maintains suction stability under high-speed movement. In this embodiment, each suction hole 304 is also provided with a silicone lip.

[0041] The gripping mechanism described in this embodiment combines servo-driven precise gripping with pneumatic vacuum adsorption, effectively handling luggage of different sizes, shapes, and materials, significantly improving the success rate and versatility of gripping. In other embodiments of this application, a luggage collision protection function is also added. Specifically, a six-dimensional force sensor 102 is used to collect raw data of the end force / torque at high frequency in real time, compensating for the gravity and inertial forces of the clamping plate 201 and the luggage (load) to be gripped. A safety force / torque threshold is set; when the force / torque in any dimension instantaneously exceeds the threshold, a collision flag is triggered, and the embodied intelligent robot is notified of a luggage collision, causing the embodied intelligent robot to stop abruptly.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] A control method for an intelligent robot luggage palletizing and gripping mechanism is provided, which controls the aforementioned intelligent robot luggage palletizing and gripping mechanism to achieve the following: Figure 4 The clamping method is shown. The control method is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0044] S100: Acquire an image of the luggage to be retrieved and analyze its size, surface flatness, and material type. In this embodiment, an RGB-D camera is used to generate a high-precision point cloud, calculate the three-dimensional dimensions (length, width, and height) and surface flatness of the luggage to be retrieved, and simultaneously use a convolutional neural network to identify the material type.
[0045] When calculating the three-dimensional size of the luggage to be clamped, if the luggage to be clamped is irregularly shaped, a minimum circumscribed cuboid of the luggage to be clamped is calculated, and the length, width and height of the minimum circumscribed cuboid are taken as the three-dimensional size of the luggage to be clamped. Specifically, the minimum circumscribed cuboid uses a principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm to calculate the eigenvector of the point cloud covariance matrix to determine the direction, and the maximum-minimum value difference of the point cloud coordinates in the direction coordinate system is taken as the size. In other embodiments of the present application, the principal axis direction of the point cloud is also calculated, the point cloud is projected onto the three principal axes, and the maximum distance in each projection direction is taken as the length, width and height of the luggage.
[0046] When calculating the surface flatness of the luggage to be clamped, a point cloud voxelization gradient variance analysis is used. Specifically, the acquired point cloud of the luggage to be clamped is down-sampled and denoised; the normal vector of each point is calculated using a PCA algorithm based on K-nearest neighbors for the pre-processed point cloud; the surface of the point cloud is divided into a plurality of local regions, for each local region, the average direction of the normal vectors of all points in the region is calculated, the included angle between the normal vector of each point in the region and the average normal vector of the region is calculated, and the local flatness metric of the region is defined as the standard deviation of the included angles; the average value of the flatness metrics of all local regions is defined as the overall surface flatness of the luggage, the smaller the average value, the higher the surface flatness of the luggage to be clamped. In this embodiment, the surface flatness is divided into eight levels, corresponding to eight average value ranges, and the calculated average value is compared with the eight average value ranges, and the specific level of the surface flatness of the luggage to be clamped is output.
[0047] In this embodiment, the material type includes hard pack and soft pack. When identifying the material type, the input of the convolutional neural network is an RGB image and a depth map synchronously captured by an RGB-D camera. The depth map is normalized and converted into a grayscale image with the same size as the RGB image. The RGB image and the processed depth grayscale image are spliced in the channel dimension to form 4-channel (R, G, B, Depth) input data, and the size of the spliced data is uniformly adjusted to 224x224. A lightweight network MobileNetV3-Small is used as the backbone network, and its pre-trained weights on the ImageNet dataset are loaded for transfer learning. The original classification head of MobileNetV3-Small is removed, and a new custom classification head is added, which has the structure of: a fully connected layer (128 neurons), a fully connected layer (64 neurons), a Dropout layer (dropout rate = 0.5), and an output layer (2 neurons corresponding to 'hard pack' and'soft pack' categories, using a Softmax activation function). The output of the network is the probability distribution of the two categories of hard pack and soft pack, and the final material type identification result is the category with a higher probability value.
[0048] S200, generating a clamping mode according to the size, surface flatness and material of the luggage to be clamped; the clamping mode includes single clamping mode, single suction mode and composite mode; S200 includes:
[0049] S201, analyzing whether the material type of the luggage to be clamped is soft package, if yes, adopting single clamping mode, if not, executing S202. In this embodiment, if the clamping mode adopted is single clamping mode, the optimal clamping point of the luggage grabbing side is calculated based on the luggage point cloud data, and the optimal clamping point is the side center line in this embodiment; the clamping plate 201 is controlled to approach the luggage in a posture parallel to the grabbing side, and the clamping surface is ensured to be flush with the luggage side; the servo electric cylinder 202 drives the clamping plate 201 to open to the target width, which is the sum of the width of the luggage and the preset safe width; at the same time, the clamping plate 201 moves downward to the bottom of the suction cup 301 and the distance between the upper surface of the luggage to be clamped is a preset safe distance value; the servo electric cylinder 202 drives the clamping plate 201 to close along the horizontal direction to approach the luggage side at a preset closing speed; the detection data of the servo electric cylinder 202 voltage sensor is fed back to the embodied intelligent robot, so as to judge whether the luggage is clamped or not, and after clamping the luggage to be clamped, the embodied intelligent robot moves to the target position; the servo electric cylinder 202 drives the clamping plate 201 to open along the horizontal direction, and feeds back the placement success signal to the embodied intelligent robot.
[0050] S202, analyzing whether the surface flatness of the luggage to be clamped is less than the preset flatness threshold, if yes, adopting single clamping mode, if not, executing S203.
[0051] S203, analyzing whether the size of the luggage to be clamped is less than the preset size, if yes, adopting single suction mode, if not, adopting composite mode. In this embodiment, the preset size includes preset length, preset width and preset height, corresponding to the length, width and height of the luggage to be clamped, and each size data needs to be less than the corresponding preset value.
[0052] In this embodiment, if the clamping mode adopted is single suction mode, the maximum flat area centroid is calculated as the adsorption target point based on the luggage point cloud data, and the suction cup 301 is controlled to move downward to approach the adsorption target point; the suction cup 301 vertically descends at a speed of 5mm / s to a distance of 2mm from the luggage surface, based on the contact force feedback of the six-dimensional force sensor 102, the suction cup 301 is controlled to continuously press down until the contact force is between 4N and 6N, the deformation of the silica gel lip on each adsorption hole 304 is triggered to form a seal, and the contact force is maintained for 3s to ensure that the silica gel lip is fully fitted; the vacuum pump is started, the negative pressure establishment rate is monitored, if the preset vacuum degree is reached within 0.5s and the pressure difference fluctuation within 1s is less than 1kPa, the adsorption success signal is fed back to the embodied intelligent robot; the six-dimensional force sensor original data is read:
[0053] The measured force / torque is represented as:
[0054]
[0055] wherein, is the force / torque set measured by the six-axis force sensor, is the force / torque along x, y, z three axes.
[0056] The current position joint angle vector of the embodied intelligent robot is:
[0057]
[0058] wherein, is the joint angle of the 6 axes of the robot arm.
[0059] The gravity vector in the coordinate system of the six-axis force sensor 102 is:
[0060] The force and torque after eliminating the gravity influence in the coordinate system of the six-axis force sensor 102 are:
[0061]
[0062] The robot end force and torque after eliminating the gravity influence in the coordinate system are:
[0063]
[0064] wherein, is the robot end pose rotation matrix.
[0065] Further, the force / torque of the embodied intelligent robot end is converted into equivalent joint torque; under the visual guidance, according to the equivalent joint torque of the embodied intelligent robot (if the equivalent joint torque is stable, it is directly moved to the target position, otherwise the embodied intelligent robot is controlled to stop), the clamping plate 201 is moved to the target position, after reaching the target position, a 0.2s pulse positive pressure is injected into the vacuum pipeline, the seal is broken, and the suction cup 301 is lifted by 10mm, the residual adsorption force is eliminated, at this time the suction cup 301 is separated from the luggage without contact, and a successful signal is fed back to the embodied intelligent robot.
[0066] If the clamping mode adopted is a composite mode, the vision system calculates the target point of the suction cup 301, and first controls the suction cup 301 to adsorb the luggage to be clamped, and then controls the clamping plate 201 to directly clamp the luggage to be clamped. The adsorption mode and the clamping mode are the same as the operation mode of the single suction mode and the single clamping mode described above, and will not be described here. The difference is that the clamping plate 201 is directly controlled to clamp the luggage to be clamped, and the optimal clamping point is no longer identified. After clamping the luggage to be clamped, the embodied intelligent robot moves to the target position. The servo electric cylinder 202 drives the clamping plate 201 to open in the horizontal direction. A 0.2s pulse positive pressure is injected into the vacuum pipeline to destroy the seal, and the suction cup 301 is lifted by 10mm to eliminate the residual adsorption force, so that the suction cup 301 is separated from the luggage without contact. After completion, the feedback placement success signal is fed back to the embodied intelligent robot. In other embodiments of the present application, the main suction auxiliary clamping mode and the main clamping auxiliary suction mode can also be selected according to actual needs. Main suction auxiliary clamping: the weight bearing ratio of the suction cup 301 is greater than 70%, the clamping plate 201 applies light clamping force, and is suitable for hard boxes with gravity offset. Main clamping auxiliary suction: the weight bearing ratio of the clamping plate 201 is greater than 80%, the clamping plate 201 mainly bears the weight, and the suction cup 301 maintains the anti-skid negative pressure to cope with luggage without flat adsorption surface.
[0067] S300, according to the clamping mode, control the servo clamping mechanism and the pneumatic suction cup mechanism to operate. If the clamping mode adopted is a single suction mode, the negative pressure establishment rate of the suction cup 301 is obtained, and whether the negative pressure establishment rate is less than the preset rate is analyzed. If yes, the clamping mode is switched to a composite mode. If the clamping mode adopted is a single clamping mode, the torque information detected by the force sensor 102 is obtained, and the clamping mode is adjusted according to the torque information. Specifically, whether there is any torque component in the torque information that fluctuates sharply, that is, the fluctuation amplitude is greater than the preset floating range within a preset time, the clamping mode is adjusted to a composite mode.

Some typical known structures or known methods should not be an obstacle for the ordinary skilled person in the art to implement the present application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
