Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable storage, specifically to an intelligent storage robot device for special types of cables. Background Technology

[0002] After special cables are wound into reels, the reels are usually cylindrical I-beam reels with a central hole or circular side plate reels. Because special cables are sensitive to long-term static pressure, the reels cannot be laid flat. If laid flat, the cable in the lower half of the reel will be subjected to long-term pressure, which will cause the cable to deform or even become unusable. Therefore, a vertical or suspended storage method with a central hole is adopted. That is, the reel is threaded through its central hole onto a horizontal suspension beam, and the reel is in a standing position. Existing reel storage facilities stack multiple reels flat, which not only puts pressure on the cable, but also results in poor ventilation, causing humid air to penetrate the insulation layer. Moreover, current robotic arms are designed for flat stacked cable reels, and it is not easy to access suspended cable reels.

[0003] To address the above problems, this invention provides an intelligent storage robot device for special-shaped cables, thereby solving the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The base has a rotating motor fixed to its bottom;

[0006] The turntable is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base using bearings, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor.

[0007] The storage rack is fixed at the axis of the turntable;

[0008] A dustproof panel is fixed to the upper surface of the storage rack;

[0009] Multiple cantilever assemblies are configured and evenly distributed around the storage rack, and multiple cantilever assemblies are equidistantly arranged along the height direction of the storage rack.

[0010] A multi-axis robotic arm is fixed to the upper surface of the base, and the multi-axis robotic arm has the ability to move horizontally and vertically;

[0011] The access component is fixed to the output end of the multi-axis robot.

[0012] Furthermore, preferably, the turntable is located at the center line of the base, and two access switches are symmetrically arranged on the base. The two access switches are located on both sides of the turntable, and the access position is when the cantilever assembly is parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the multi-axis robot.

[0013] Further, preferably, the cantilever assembly includes:

[0017] Furthermore, preferably, the limiting block has a guide surface on the side away from the suspension beam. When the cable reel is slidably stored in the suspension beam, the cable reel uses the guide surface to make the limiting block slide into the suspension beam. When the cable reel is disengaged from the limiting block, the limiting block is reset by the limiting spring.

[0018] Further, preferably, the access component includes:

[0019] A fixing plate is fixed to the output end of the multi-axis robot.

[0020] The drive bay is fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate;

[0022] Two screws are configured and symmetrically rotated within the drive chamber, and are connected to the output end of the clamping motor via a bevel gear set;

[0023] Two clamping cylinders are configured, each of which is slidably connected to the drive chamber by a slider, and is threadedly connected to the two screws by nuts respectively;

[0024] The clamping assembly is fixed to the output end of the clamping cylinder.

[0025] Furthermore, preferably, the threads of the two screws are in opposite directions.

[0026] Further, preferably, the clamping assembly includes:

[0027] Two expansion plates are configured and fixed to the two output ends of the clamping cylinder, respectively.

[0028] The first clamping plate is fixed on one side of the two expansion plates that are close to each other;

[0030] The second clamping plate is fixed to one side of the first clamping plate and the pressing plate;

[0031] Two opening and closing columns are configured and symmetrically slidably disposed on the expansion plate, and a pressing spring is sleeved on each opening and closing column. The opening and closing columns are located near the second clamping plate.

[0032] The hinge plate is fixed at one end of the two hinge columns that are close to each other.

[0033] Furthermore, preferably, both the first clamping plate and the pressing plate are arc-shaped plates, and their inner walls are fixed with flexible pads. A torsion spring is provided on the hinge rod. When the torsion spring is not under force, the pressing plate rotates and retracts towards the inner wall of the first clamping plate.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent storage robot device for special-shaped cables, which has the following advantages:

[0035] In this invention, firstly, by employing a centrally suspended storage rack and circumferentially distributed cantilever beam components, the traditional flat stacking storage method is changed, effectively preventing deformation or scrapping of special-shaped cables due to long-term static pressure, and ensuring the electrical and structural integrity of the cables. Secondly, the vertical suspension storage creates good ventilation gaps between cable reels, and together with dustproof plates, significantly reduces the erosion of the insulation layer by humid air and dust, extending the cable storage life. Thirdly, the device integrates a rotatable turntable and a multi-axis robotic arm, which can automatically align, clamp, and retrieve cable reels in the suspended state through the storage and retrieval components, realizing intelligent management of high-density automated warehouses, greatly improving storage and retrieval efficiency and space utilization. Finally, the elastic limit blocks in the cantilever beam components and the multi-level clamping structure in the storage and retrieval components work together to ensure stable anti-detachment during storage and achieve adaptive and compliant clamping during storage and retrieval, avoiding damage to the cable reels.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent inventory management robot for special-type cables, comprising:

[0043] Base 1, with a rotating motor fixed to its bottom;

[0044] Turntable 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of base 1 using bearings, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor.

[0045] Storage rack 3 is fixed at the axis of the turntable 2;

[0046] Dustproof plate 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the storage rack 3;

[0047] Multiple cantilever assemblies 5 are configured and evenly distributed around the storage rack 3, and multiple cantilever assemblies 5 are equidistantly arranged along the height direction of the storage rack 3.

[0048] A multi-axis robotic arm 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the base 1, and the multi-axis robotic arm 6 has the ability to move horizontally and vertically;

[0049] Access component 7 is fixed to the output end of the multi-axis robot 6.

[0050] In other words, by adopting a centrally suspended storage rack 3 and circumferentially distributed cantilever components 5, the traditional flat stacking storage method has been changed, effectively avoiding the deformation or scrapping of special cables due to long-term static pressure, and ensuring the electrical and structural integrity of the cables. Secondly, the vertical suspension storage creates good ventilation gaps between the cable reels 8, which, together with the dustproof plate 3, significantly reduces the erosion of the insulation layer by humid air and dust, and extends the cable storage life.

[0051] In this embodiment, the turntable 2 is located at the center line of the base 1, and two access switches 11 are symmetrically arranged on the base 1. The two access switches 11 are located on both sides of the turntable 2, and the access position is when the suspension beam assembly 5 is parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the multi-axis robot 6.

[0052] In other words, the device can have two access stations by means of two access switches 11, so that the direction can be selected according to the actual access situation, thereby improving practicality.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cantilever assembly 5 includes:

[0054] The suspension beam 51 is fixed on the storage rack 3, and the suspension beam is arranged horizontally;

[0055] Multiple limiting blocks 52 are configured and symmetrically slidably disposed within the cantilever beam 51;

[0056] The sliding column 53 has one end fixed to the limiting block 52 and the other end slidably disposed inside the suspension beam 51, and its outer wall is fitted with a limiting spring 54.

[0057] Preferably, the limiting block 52 has a guide surface 55 on the side away from the suspension beam 51. When the cable reel 8 is slidably stored in the suspension beam 51, the cable reel 8 uses the guide surface 55 to make the limiting block 52 slide into the suspension beam 51. When the cable reel 8 is disengaged from the limiting block 52, the limiting block 52 is reset by the limiting spring 54.

[0058] In other words, when storing the cable reel 8, the center hole of the cable reel 8 is inserted into the suspension beam 51, and the guide surface 55 causes the limiting block 52 to retract. When the cable reel 8 moves behind the limiting block 52, the limiting block 52 is reset by the limiting spring 54, thus limiting the cable reel 8 and preventing it from sliding out of the suspension beam 51, achieving automatic locking. Storage and fixation can be completed without additional operation.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the access component 7 includes:

[0060] The fixing plate 71 is fixed to the output end of the multi-axis robot 6;

[0061] The drive compartment 72 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate 71;

[0062] The clamping motor 73 is fixed in the middle position inside the drive chamber 72;

[0063] Two screws 75 are configured and symmetrically rotated within the drive chamber 72, and are connected to the output end of the clamping motor 73 via a bevel gear set 74.

[0064] Two clamping cylinders 76 are configured, each of which is slidably connected to the drive chamber 72 by a slider, and is threadedly connected to the two screws 75 by nuts respectively;

[0065] The clamping assembly 77 is fixed to the output end of the clamping cylinder 76.

[0066] In addition, the two screws 75 have opposite thread directions.

[0067] The clamping motor 73 enables the two clamping cylinders 76 to move closer or further apart in the horizontal direction, and the clamping cylinders 76 enable the clamping assembly 77 to move closer or further apart in the vertical direction, thereby performing multi-stage clamping and improving clamping stability.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly 77 includes:

[0069] Two expansion plates 771 are configured and respectively fixed to the two output ends of the clamping cylinder 76;

[0070] The first clamping plate 772 is fixed on one side of the two expansion plates 771 that are close to each other;

[0071] The pressing plate 773 is symmetrically hinged to both ends of the first clamping plate 772 by hinge rods 775;

[0072] The second clamping plate 774 is fixed to one side of the first clamping plate 772 and the pressing plate 773;

[0073] Two opening and closing columns 776 are configured and symmetrically slidably disposed on the expansion plate 771, and a pressing spring is sleeved on the opening and closing column 776. The opening and closing column 776 is located near the second clamping plate 774.

[0074] The opening and closing plate 777 is fixed at one end of the two opening and closing columns 776 that are close to each other.

[0075] It should be noted that the side of the opening and closing plate 777 closest to the second clamping plate 774 is flush with the inner wall of the second clamping plate 774. In other words, when clamping the cable reel 8 in the horizontal direction, it can be double-clamped by the second clamping plate 774 and the opening and closing plate 777, which improves stability.

[0076] During clamping, the clamping cylinder 76 pushes the expansion plate 771 to move towards the cable reel 8. The opening and closing plate 777 first contacts the limiting block 52 on the suspension beam 51 and presses the limiting block 52. Then, the first clamping plate 772 and the pressing plate 773 continue to close. The hinge rod 775 causes the pressing plate 773 to rotate and fit against the arc surface of the cable reel 8. At the same time, the clamping motor 73 drives the two clamping cylinders 76 to move closer to each other, completing the side clamping of the cable reel 8. The opening and closing plate 777 can fit against the middle position of the side plate of the cable reel 8, completing the three-point stable clamping.

[0077] Preferably, the first clamping plate 772 and the pressing plate 773 are both arc-shaped plates, and their inner walls are fixed with flexible pads. The hinge rod 775 is provided with a torsion spring. When the torsion spring is not under force, the pressing plate 773 rotates and retracts towards the inner wall of the first clamping plate 772.

[0078] In practice, when it is necessary to store or retrieve the cable reel 8, the rotary motor drives the turntable 2 to rotate the target suspension beam assembly 5 to a storage / retrieval position parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the multi-axis robot 6. Then, the storage / retrieval switch 11 is pressed, and the multi-axis robot 6 moves towards the pressed storage / retrieval switch 11. Based on the position of the suspension beam assembly 5, it moves horizontally and vertically to the location of the target cable reel 8 to perform the storage / retrieval action. The clamping motor 73 is driven to bring the two clamping cylinders closer to each other. At the same time, the clamping cylinders perform a clamping action, so that the first clamping plate 772 clamps vertically, the second clamping plate 774 clamps horizontally, and the pressing plate 773 cooperates in clamping. It should be noted that during clamping, the opening and closing plate 777 contacts the limiting block 52, so that the limiting block 52 enters the suspension beam 51, which facilitates the sliding storage and retrieval of the cable reel 8. After storage and retrieval are completed, the multi-axis robot 6 returns to the origin, and the turntable 2 can be reset or kept in position as needed.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
