Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of stacking robots, and in particular relates to a stacking robot with an identification function. Background Art
[0002] With the increase in land and labor costs, automated warehouses are increasingly widely used in food, medicine, machinery, petroleum and chemical industries. As the core of automated warehouses, stackers play a vital role. The positioning device of warehouse stackers is the basis for storing goods and is of great significance. The positioning device of warehouse stackers is related to their parking accuracy and has a direct impact on the quality of stored and retrieved goods.
[0003] The existing patent (application number: CN115009748A) proposes a precise addressing method system for a stacking industrial robot system, including multiple addressing marks, multiple identification modules, a control terminal and a database. Multiple addressing marks are set in the shelf area of the warehouse and are located around the stacking industrial robot in sequence along the feasible path of the stacking industrial robot. By setting addressing marks around the stacker industrial robot and adding multiple reference parameters, more accurate location information is obtained, and information calibration can be performed at the same time, thereby providing a more accurate addressing function for the stacking industrial robot.
[0004] The above-mentioned robots lack protection during the process of identifying and stacking. During the long-term use of the stacking robot, the free clearance of mechanical components such as gears and control shafts will gradually increase. Therefore, when the robot transports or places goods according to the established work formation, the difference between the expected working stroke and the actual working stroke will cause the robot's mechanical arm and other components to have a rigid collision with the shelf, which will cause damage to the robot or the shelf.
[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content
