Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to a multi-directional top conveying mechanism for use in material conveying robots. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical warehousing industry, material handling robots, also known as medical logistics robots or hospital logistics robots, are playing an increasingly important role. They are a core component of smart hospital construction, reshaping traditional material flow models through automation technology. Material handling robots efficiently connect hospital warehousing systems (such as central pharmacies, central warehouses, sterilization supply centers, and laboratories) with usage points (wards, operating rooms, and outpatient clinics), forming an intelligent "logistics network." To enhance the storage capacity of material handling robots during transport, storage containers are installed on them to ensure safety and convenience during transport.

[0003] However, existing material handling robots can only transport internally stored materials end-to-end, but lack the function of assisting in local material guiding, resulting in limited material handling efficiency during the material picking and placing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing material conveying robots lack the function of assisting in local material guiding, resulting in limited material conveying efficiency during the material picking and placing process.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a multi-directional top conveying mechanism applied to a material conveying robot, including a robot body and a bottom conveying track. The upper surface of the robot body is equipped with an upper storage box for storing materials. The upper storage box has flip-type storage slots on both sides. An electrically controlled flip conveyor belt is movably installed inside the flip-type storage slots. An electrically controlled lifting cover is movably installed at the upper end of the upper storage box.

[0006] The bottom conveyor track is movably installed at the lower end of the robot body.

[0007] The inner side of the flip-type storage slot is provided with a lateral lifting slot that cooperates with the electrically controlled lifting cover.

[0008] The electrically controlled lifting cover includes a side guide rod that is slidably inserted into the side lifting groove and an upper closed cover plate fixed to the top of the side guide rod.

[0009] The electrically controlled tilting conveyor belt includes a tilting frame mounted on the side wall of the side guide rod, an outer conveyor belt movably mounted on the outside of the tilting frame, and a lateral adjustment support rod mounted on the inner side of the tilting storage trough.

[0010] Both sides of the upper storage box are movably fitted with lateral closing covers at the opening of the flip-type storage slot, and the inner side of the flip-type storage slot is movably fitted with an inner adjusting support rod for controlling the flipping of the lateral closing cover.

[0011] The side wall of the flipping frame is provided with an inclined limiting slot, and the inner side of the lateral closing cover is elastically fitted with a sliding support plate.

[0012] The lower surface of the upper closed cover is fixedly fitted with a plurality of downwardly protruding inner control rails, and an embedded lifting screw is installed inside the inner control rails.

[0013] The upper storage box is equipped with a plurality of internal support plates controlled by an inner control rail. The side wall of the internal support plate is provided with a lateral transition groove that cooperates with the inner control rail. The lateral transition groove is provided with an internal thread lifting block that cooperates with the embedded lifting screw.

[0014] The inner side of the upper storage box has a lateral inward threaded adjustment block that protrudes towards the inward control guide rail.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) A multi-directional top conveying mechanism for a material conveying robot of the present invention has an upper storage box for storing materials installed at the upper end. An electrically controlled flip conveyor belt is movably installed inside the flip-type storage slots on both sides of the upper storage box, which can form an outwardly extending conveyor belt on both sides to assist the outside in conveying and guiding materials, thereby improving its guiding efficiency. (2) By controlling the inner side of the upper closed cover plate and the embedded lifting screw inside the inner side of the control rail, the lifting of the upper closed cover plate and the inner support plate can be controlled, which is convenient for independent control and easy for partitioned storage. (3) Side closing covers are movably installed on both sides of the upper storage box at the opening of the flip-type storage trough. With the upper closing cover, the openings of the upper storage box and the flip-type storage trough can be closed when not in use, improving the airtightness of the inner wall and the durability of the conveying structure.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The multi-directional top conveying mechanism for a material conveying robot shown includes a robot body 1 and a bottom conveyor belt 2. An upper storage box 3 for storing materials is installed on the upper surface of the robot body 1. A flip-type storage groove 4 is provided on both sides of the upper storage box 3. An electrically controlled flip conveyor belt 5 is movably installed inside the flip-type storage groove 4. An electrically controlled lifting cover 6 is movably installed at the upper end of the upper storage box 3.

[0025] Working principle: The robot body 1 is driven by the bottom conveyor belt 2, which then moves the upper storage box 3 to the designated loading and unloading position. The electrically controlled flipping conveyor belt 5 inside the flipping storage trough 4 forms a conveying channel, thereby conveying internal materials to the outside or external materials to the inside.

[0026] To facilitate bottom drive, the bottom conveyor track 2 is movably installed at the lower end of the robot body 1.

[0027] To accommodate the side-mounted guide, a side lifting groove 41 is provided on the inner side of the flip-type storage slot 4 to cooperate with the electrically controlled lifting cover 6.

[0028] To facilitate top closure and lateral connection, the electrically controlled lifting cover 6 includes a side guide rod 61 that is slidably inserted into the lateral lifting groove 41 and an upper closing cover plate 62 fixed to the top of the side guide rod 61.

[0029] To facilitate the electronically controlled conveying adjustment, the electronically controlled tilting conveyor belt 5 includes a tilting frame 51 mounted on the side wall of the side guide rod 61, an outer conveying belt 52 movably mounted on the outside of the tilting frame 51, and a lateral adjustment support rod 53 mounted on the inner side of the tilting storage trough 4.

[0030] The outer conveyor belt 52, through its operation, drives materials to be transported upwards or downwards. Materials can be directly introduced from the outside into the upper storage box 3 for layered placement, or materials can be exported from the inside onto the outer conveyor belt 52 for outward transport.

[0031] To facilitate lateral flip-closing, the upper storage box 3 is equipped with lateral closing covers 7 on both sides of the opening of the flip-type storage slot 4, and the inner side of the flip-type storage slot 4 is equipped with an inner adjusting support rod 8 for controlling the flipping of the lateral closing cover 4.

[0032] To accommodate the bottom support and limiting, the side wall of the flip frame 51 is provided with an inclined limiting slot 54, and the inner side of the lateral closing cover 7 is elastically fitted with a sliding support plate 71.

[0033] When it is necessary to open the flip-type storage trough 4, simply extend the inner adjusting support rod 8 to control the side closing cover 7 to flip outward, and then open the outer opening of the flip-type storage trough 4. Then control the upper closing cover 62 to rise. The bottom of the upper closing cover 62 extends upward through the side guide rods 61 on both sides, and then drives the electrically controlled flip conveyor belt 5 to rise upward. The side adjusting support rod 53 extends to control the flip frame 51 to flip outward, flipping the outer conveyor belt 52 to the upper end. Then the inner adjusting support rod 8 retracts, driving the side closing cover 7 to flip inward, inserting the top of the sliding support plate 71 into the inclined limiting slot 54 to ensure the bottom support of the flip frame 51.

[0034] To facilitate height adjustment, a plurality of downwardly protruding inner control rails 63 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper closed cover plate 62, and an embedded lifting screw 64 is installed inside the inner control rails 63.

[0035] The inner control rails 63 at different positions on the lower surface of the upper closed cover plate 62 and the inner control rails 63 with embedded lifting screws 64 are used for independent control and do not affect each other.

[0036] To accommodate the internal support and partitioning, the upper storage box 3 is equipped with a plurality of internal support plates 9 controlled by the inner control guide rail 63. The side wall of the internal support plate 9 is provided with a lateral transition groove that cooperates with the inner control guide rail 63. The lateral transition groove is provided with an internal thread lifting block 91 that cooperates with the embedded lifting screw 64.

[0037] The embedded lifting screw 64 rotates, causing the internal thread lifting block 91, which is threadedly assembled with it, to rise and fall, thereby changing the height of the internal support plate 9. The internal support plate 9 at different heights is adjusted by the internal thread lifting blocks 91 on both sides and the embedded lifting screw 61 at the corresponding position. The height of the internal support plate 9 at different heights is also adjusted by the inner control guide rail 63 at different positions and the embedded lifting screw 64 inside it.

[0038] The angle of the internal support plate 9 can be changed by rotating the embedded lifting screws 64 on both sides of the internal support plate 9, thereby allowing the material to slide to the lower side for easier discharge. The internal thread lifting block 91 can slide and move elastically in the lateral transition groove, making it convenient to change the angle of the internal support plate 9 by raising and lowering the internal thread lifting block 91 on one side.

[0039] In order to coordinate with the lifting and lowering of the upper closed cover plate 62, the inner side of the upper storage box 3 has a lateral internal thread adjustment block 31 that protrudes into the inward control guide rail 63.

[0040] When the embedded lifting screw 64, which is threadedly assembled with the lateral internal thread adjusting block 31, is rotated, the upper closing cover 62 will rise and fall with the inner control guide rail 63, thereby opening the upper opening and changing the height of the connecting end of the electrically controlled flip conveyor belt 5.

[0041] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
