[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence.
[0038] The terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units expressly listed, but may include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.
[0039] like Figures 1-14 The AGV storage intelligent robot shown includes an enclosure 1 for protecting electronic components, which not only reduces the erosion of dust and moisture on the internal circuits of the robot, but also improves the regularity of the circuit arrangement and enhances the aesthetics of the robot. An electrically driven bidirectional retractor 2 is provided in the middle of the enclosure 1. The bidirectional retractor 2 has a storage cylinder 201 and two telescopic rods 202. The two telescopic rods 202 are synchronously extended or retracted into the storage cylinder 201. The storage cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the enclosure 1, and the two telescopic rods 202 extend from the two ends of the storage cylinder 201 in the same straight line. A clearance groove 101 is provided on one opposite side of the enclosure 1 to make more space for the movable parts outside the enclosure 1. The enclosure 1 is provided with a configuration cavity 102 that passes through the two clearance grooves 101. The storage cylinder 201 is fixedly installed in the configuration cavity 102, so that the bidirectional retractor 2 can remain stably installed in the enclosure 1.
[0040] The end of each telescopic rod 202 is rotatably connected to a pair of longitudinal drive assemblies 3 through an articulated shaft 9. There are four longitudinal drive assemblies 3 in total, and the paired longitudinal drive assemblies 3 are divided into two upper and lower ones. The longitudinal drive assembly 3 can drive the packaging shell 1 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The longitudinal drive assembly 3 includes a longitudinal swing arm 310 that can only swing in a vertical plane. The end of the telescopic rod 202 has a third articulated frame 208, and the lower end of the longitudinal swing arm 310 located above has articulated frames 312 on both sides, and the upper end of the longitudinal swing arm 310 located below has an intermediate articulated frame 311. The intermediate articulated frame 311 is located between the articulated frames 312 on both sides, and is rotatably connected to the third articulated frame 208 through an articulated shaft 9 with a horizontal axis, so that the upper and lower longitudinal swing arms 310 can swing synchronously.
[0041] The fixed cantilever 203 is provided outside the receiving cylinder 201, the cantilever 203 has two pairs, a total of four, and each pair is divided into upper and lower two, the two pairs of cantilevers 203 are left-right symmetrical, each telescopic rod 202 is located between the pair of cantilevers 203, and each longitudinal driving assembly 3 is movably connected with the cantilever 203. Specifically, the end of each cantilever 203 away from the receiving cylinder 201 is provided with a pair of supports 204, the two supports 204 are fixedly connected with a sliding shaft 205 with a horizontal axis, the longitudinal swing arm 310 is provided with a sliding groove 313 penetrating the side surface, and the sliding groove 313 is just used for the sliding shaft 205 to penetrate to form a sliding pair. Of course, the longitudinal swing arm 310 can also rotate relative to the sliding shaft 205. When the telescopic rod 202 is retracted, the included angle of the two longitudinal swing arms 310 connected to the same telescopic rod 202 becomes smaller, and the end of the longitudinal swing arm 310 away from the telescopic rod 202 is farther away from the receiving cylinder 201 in the horizontal direction. When the telescopic rod 202 is extended, the included angle of the two longitudinal swing arms 310 connected to the same telescopic rod 202 becomes larger, and the end of the longitudinal swing arm 310 away from the telescopic rod 202 is closer to the receiving cylinder 201 in the horizontal direction.
[0042] The end of the longitudinal swing arm 310 away from the telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected with a longitudinal servo motor 314, which is controlled by the circuit in the packaging shell 1. The output shaft of the longitudinal servo motor 314 is horizontal, and a coaxial longitudinal self-propelled wheel 320 is fixedly connected. The longitudinal self-propelled wheel 320 has coaxial left and right rims 321 with larger diameters at both ends. The outer side of the longitudinal self-propelled wheel 320 has a plurality of transverse teeth 322 located between the left and right rims 321 and equally spaced around the shaft, which cooperates with a straight tooth structure to well ensure the position control accuracy of the lifting movement.
[0043] The symmetrical sides of each telescopic rod 202 are movably connected with a pair of transverse driving assemblies 4 through two horizontal connecting rods 209. The transverse driving assemblies 4 are also four, and the transverse driving assemblies 4 are suitable for driving the packaging shell 1 to move horizontally. One end of each transverse driving assembly 4 is also rotatably connected with the receiving cylinder 201. Specifically, the transverse driving assembly 4 comprises a transverse swing arm 410, the outer side of the receiving cylinder 201 is provided with a first hinged frame 206, the side of the telescopic rod 202 is provided with a second hinged frame 207, the end of the transverse swing arm 410 opposite to the receiving cylinder 201 is provided with an end hinged frame 411, the side of the transverse swing arm 410 opposite to the telescopic rod 202 is provided with a side hinged frame 412, the end hinged frame 411 is rotatably connected with the first hinged frame 206 through a hinged shaft 9 with a vertical axis, one end of the connecting rod 209 is rotatably connected with the second hinged frame 207 through a hinged shaft 9 with a vertical axis, and the other end of the connecting rod 209 is rotatably connected with the side hinged frame 412 through another hinged shaft 9 with a vertical axis. In this way, each transverse swing arm 410 can swing in the same horizontal plane.
[0044] The end of the transverse swing arm 410 away from the receiving cylinder 201 is fixedly connected with a transverse drive servo motor 413, which is also controlled by the circuit in the packaging shell 1. The output shaft of the transverse drive servo motor 413 is vertical and fixedly connected with a coaxial transverse self-propelled wheel 420. The transverse self-propelled wheel 420 has coaxial upper and lower rims 421 with larger diameters at both ends. The outer side of the transverse self-propelled wheel 420 has a plurality of longitudinal teeth 422 located between the upper and lower rims 421 and equally spaced around the shaft, which are used to cooperate with the straight tooth structure and can also maintain the position control accuracy of horizontal motion. It should be noted that the end of the connecting rod 209 connected with the transverse swing arm 410 is closer to the receiving cylinder 201 and farther from the telescopic rod 202. Therefore, when the telescopic rod 202 is retracted, the included angle between the two transverse swing arms 410 connected with the same telescopic rod 202 will increase, and the end of the transverse swing arm 410 away from the receiving cylinder 201 will be closer to the receiving cylinder 201 in the horizontal direction. When the telescopic rod 202 is extended, the included angle between the two transverse swing arms 410 connected with the same telescopic rod 202 will decrease, and the end of the transverse swing arm 410 away from the receiving cylinder 201 will be farther from the receiving cylinder 201 in the horizontal direction.
[0045] In summary, when the two telescopic rods 202 are retracted into the receiving cylinder 201 synchronously, the paired longitudinal drive assemblies 3 approach each other, access the guide structure, and the paired transverse drive assemblies 4 move away from each other, leaving the guide structure. When the two telescopic rods 202 are extended out of the receiving cylinder 201 synchronously, the paired longitudinal drive assemblies 3 move away from each other, leaving the guide structure, and the paired transverse drive assemblies 4 approach each other, accessing the guide structure. This is the structural basis for switching between horizontal and vertical motion directions.
[0046] The bottom of the packaging shell 1 is fixedly connected with a loading table 5, and the upper surface of the loading table 5 is horizontal. A rib plate 104 is also fixedly connected between the outer side of the packaging shell 1 and the upper surface of the loading table 5, which is used to improve the connection stability of the loading table 5 and the packaging shell 1. The loading table 5 is movably connected with a taking and placing mechanism 7 through a track 6, which is a working mechanism for taking and placing goods from a shelf. The track 6 includes a pair of mounting plates 603 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the loading table 5. The two mounting plates 603 are fixedly connected with a straight guide rail 601. The straight guide rail 601 is parallel to the loading table 5. The side surface of the straight guide rail 601 is provided with a gear slot 602, which is used to cooperate with the gear structure and also to ensure the position control accuracy and can transmit a larger traction force.
[0047] The specific structure of the taking and placing mechanism 7 includes a slider 710 having guide channels 711 at opposite ends for the straight guide rail 601 to pass through, and the slider 710 has a matching servo motor and reducer structure inside, the output end of the servo motor is connected with the input end of the reducer, and the gear driven by the reducer is inserted into the guide channel 711 and engaged with the tooth groove 602 of the straight guide rail 601, so that the servo motor can transmit a larger thrust to the gear through the reducer, thereby driving the slider 710 to slide along the straight guide rail 601.
[0048] The taking and placing mechanism 7 has a pair of parallel clamping plates 707, and the pair of clamping plates 707 are adapted to rotate along the vertical and horizontal axes and have variable spacing. In order to achieve the above functions, the object table 5 is provided with guide grooves 501 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface of the slider 710 is fixedly connected with a sliding plate 703 through a sliding block 702, the sliding plate 703 is located above the object table 5, the sliding block 702 is matched with the guide groove 501 to form a sliding pair, the upper surface of the sliding plate 703 is fixedly connected with a horizontal rotation drive 704, the rotation axis is vertical, the output end of the horizontal rotation drive 704 is fixedly connected with a vertical rotation drive 705, the horizontal rotation drive 704 drives the vertical rotation drive 705 to rotate in the horizontal plane, the vertical rotation drive 705 has two synchronous output ends, the axes of the two output ends are both horizontal, and each output end is fixedly connected with a one-way telescopic device 706, the one-way telescopic device 706 can be driven to rotate in the vertical plane, and the two vertical planes are parallel. Each one-way telescopic device 706 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 707, and rubber friction pads 708 are arranged on the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 707 to increase the contact friction with the goods packaging box, so as to more stably push the goods into the shelf or pull the goods out of the shelf. In fact, the taking and placing mechanism 7 and the track 6 have two groups, and the two groups of tracks 6 and taking and placing mechanisms 7 are symmetric about the front and back of the swing plane of the longitudinal swing arm 310.
[0049] The bottom of the packaging shell 1 is provided with a battery pack 103, and the battery pack 103 is filled with high-density lithium batteries for powering the entire AGV warehouse intelligent robot. The side of the object table 5 is also provided with an inductor 8 located below the longitudinal driving assembly 3 for cooperating with the inductive block 1013 on the guide structure to realize positioning.
[0050] As Figures 14-18The guide structure matched with the AGV storage intelligent robot shown includes a guide rail frame 10 fixedly connected with the shelf, the guide rail frame 10 has two groups of longitudinal guide plates 1010 with the same number, which are distributed on the left and right sides of the shelf aisle, each group of longitudinal guide plates 1010, that is, the longitudinal guide plates 1010 located on the same side of the shelf aisle are equidistantly arranged in the horizontal direction in the same vertical plane, the lower ends of all the longitudinal guide plates 1010 are fixedly connected to a same bottom supporting plate 1030, and the upper ends of all the longitudinal guide plates 1010 are fixedly connected to a same bridging frame 1040. In general, the bottom supporting plate 1030 is the ground of the warehouse, and the bridging frame 1040 is a metal frame on the top of the warehouse, which is connected with the fixed structure in the warehouse, and in addition to the constraint of the shelf itself, the longitudinal guide plates 1010 can be well stabilized.
[0051] Each longitudinal guide plate 1010 includes a longitudinal connecting plate 1011 adapted to be fixedly connected with the shelf, and the longitudinal connecting plate 1011 has a longitudinal straight tooth plate 1012 on the side facing the shelf aisle, which can be clamped between the left and right wheel rims 321 and engaged with the transverse teeth 322 to form a stable transmission structure; a plurality of transverse guide plates 1020 equidistantly arranged from bottom to top are further fixedly connected between the adjacent longitudinal guide plates 1010 in the same plane, and the spacing of the transverse guide plates 1020 is equal to the height of a single layer of shelves. The number and height of the transverse guide plates 1020 between different longitudinal guide plates 1010 correspond to each other, and all the transverse guide plates 1020 are aligned with the shelves. Each transverse guide plate 1020 includes a transverse connecting plate 1021 fixedly connected with the shelf, and the space surrounded by the two adjacent transverse guide plates 1020 and the longitudinal guide plate 1010 is a shelf compartment. The side of the transverse connecting plate 1021 has a transverse straight tooth plate 1022, which can be clamped between the upper and lower wheel rims 421 and engaged with the longitudinal teeth 422 to form a stable transmission structure.
[0052] The longitudinal straight tooth plate 1012 is disconnected at the height of each transverse guide plate 1020, and a sensing block 1013 is arranged at the center of the disconnected position, which is used to be detected by the inductor 8, so that the AGV storage intelligent robot can determine its position. A transverse disconnected groove 1014 is formed between the upper and lower end faces of the sensing block 1013 and the longitudinal straight tooth plate 1012, which is used for the upper and lower wheel rims 421 to pass through, so as to avoid the motion interference of the longitudinal straight tooth plate 1012 on the transverse self-propelled wheel 420. A longitudinal disconnected groove 1023 is formed between the left and right end faces of the sensing block 1013 and the transverse straight tooth plate 1022, which is used for the left and right wheel rims 321 to pass through, so as to avoid the motion interference of the transverse straight tooth plate 1022 on the longitudinal self-propelled wheel 320.
[0053] Working principle: Considering that the self-propelled wheel may cause damage to the induction block 1013 when passing through the induction block 1013, the induction block 1013 is usually not electronic, but a color block made of high-strength synthetic material. The same color block is used on each layer of the shelf, but the color of the color block at different positions on the same layer of the shelf is different in depth. The sensor 8 uses a camera. The program built into the robot can distinguish the color and depth of the color block image collected by the camera to determine the position, thereby realizing the positioning of the goods. The specific program implementation method does not belong to the content protected by the present application, and will not be introduced here.
[0054] Since the induction block 1013 itself is a solid material block, there is no internal structure to protect, so the surface of the induction block 1013 opposite the shelf aisle is also provided with a straight tooth groove, which can be engaged with the self-propelled wheel and can also avoid the self-propelled wheel from slipping when passing through the induction block 1013.
[0055] The robot usually only takes and places work between shelves and needs to work with a ground carrying robot. For example, when storing goods, the ground robot transports the goods to the shelf aisle according to the shelf position allocated by the system. The robot is lowered in height, determines whether to move to the front or rear of the ground robot according to the allocated shelf position, and then makes the upper surface of the loading table 5 slightly lower than the bottom of the goods packaging box. The vertical rotary drive 705 is started to turn the two clamping plates 707 from a vertical and distant state to a horizontal state, so that the goods packaging box is located between the two clamping plates 707. Then the two clamping plates 707 are driven by the one-way telescopic device 706 to approach each other to clamp the goods. It is determined whether to turn left or right. The two clamping plates 707 are driven by the horizontal rotary drive 704 to turn the goods to the corresponding direction on the loading table 5. After the ground robot unloads the goods, it can leave. The robot plans the path with the help of the system and moves to the expected storage compartment under the drive of the transverse drive assembly 3 and the longitudinal drive assembly 4. Finally, the sensor 8 acquires images for comparison to determine whether the color of the induction block 1013 corresponding to the storage position is correct. If it is correct, the sliding device 710 can start to push the goods into the specified storage compartment. The clamping plates 707 can be released and withdrawn from the storage compartment under the drive of the sliding device 710. When the goods need to be taken out, the robot moves to the corresponding storage compartment and uses the taking and placing mechanism 7 to pull the goods to the loading table 5. After lowering, the upper surface of the loading table 5 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the loading surface of the ground robot. The clamping plates 707 can turn the goods to the ground robot and release them. Then the robot can leave and the ground robot can carry the goods out of the warehouse.
[0056] When designing the length and angle of the longitudinal swing arm 310 and the transverse swing arm 410, the following requirements need to be met: First, when the lateral teeth 322 are fully engaged with the longitudinal straight teeth plate 1012, the lateral straight teeth plate 1022 is fully away from the upper and lower wheel rims 421, so that the robot can smoothly climb or descend along the shelf; Second, when the longitudinal teeth 422 are fully engaged with the lateral straight teeth plate 1012, the lateral straight teeth plate 1022 is fully away from the left and right wheel rims 321, so that the robot can smoothly move horizontally between the shelves; Third, the lateral teeth 322 are not disengaged from the longitudinal straight teeth plate 1012 until the lateral straight teeth plate 1022 is not slid into the upper and lower wheel rims 421, so that the robot will not fall from the shelves when the direction of horizontal and vertical motion is converted.
[0057] The above three requirements do not require quantitative standards, and in actual design, only the required parameters can be obtained through simple debugging according to the scene requirements.
[0058] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only the principles of the present application.
