[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a logistics transfer station proposed by the utility model includes a placement rack 2, a fixed rack A6, a delivery bill scanning probe 10, a fixed rack B11, a mobile robot 14, a translation component and a controller, and a plurality of support plates 3 are arranged on the placement rack 2. The placement rack 2 includes multiple groups, and a channel is arranged between two adjacent placement racks 2, and the width of the channel is not less than the sum of the maximum widths of the two mobile robots 14. A conveyor belt A7 is arranged on the fixed rack A6, and a driving component A for driving the conveyor belt A7 is arranged on the fixed rack A6, and the driving component A includes but is not limited to a motor A8. The delivery bill scanning probe 10 is connected to the fixed rack A6 to record the package information. A conveyor belt B12 is arranged on the fixed rack B11, and a driving component B for driving the conveyor belt B12 is arranged on the fixed rack B11, and the driving component B includes but is not limited to a motor B13. A material guide ramp is arranged on the fixed rack B11 at the output end of the conveyor belt B12. The mobile robot 14 includes multiple groups, and a lifting component 15 is arranged on the mobile robot 14, and the lifting component 15 drives the connecting support plate 16. An identification probe A4 is provided on the side of each support plate 3, and a plurality of docking areas adapted to the conveyor belt A7 are provided on the fixed frame A6, and an identification probe B9 is provided at each docking area point on the fixed frame A6, and an identification probe C17 is provided on the pallet 16 to respectively sense and adapt with the identification probe A4 and the identification probe B9, and the identification probe A4, the identification probe B9 and the identification probe C17 are all connected to the controller for communication. The translation assembly is connected to the pallet 16, so that the parcel is transferred from the conveyor belt A7 to the pallet 16 through the translation assembly and then transferred to the corresponding support plate 3, or the parcel is transferred from the corresponding support plate 3 to the pallet 16 and then transferred to the conveyor belt B12. The translation assembly includes a linear module 18, a cross bar 20, a movable rod 21 and a motor C22. The linear module 18 drives the connecting slider 19, and one end of the cross bar 20 is connected to the slider 19. The movable rods 21 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cross bar 20 and are rotatably connected to the cross bar 20 . The motor C22 is arranged on the cross bar 20 and drives the two movable rods 21 to flip synchronously.

[0023] In this embodiment, when storing, the package is first placed on the conveyor belt A7, and the motor A8 drives the conveyor belt A7 to run. During the conveying process of the package, the package label scanning probe 10 scans the package label and records it, and the data is fed back to the controller. The controller feeds back the signal to the identification probe B9 and the identification probe A4 according to the position information of the current empty support plate 3, and the corresponding mobile robot 14 moves to the side of the corresponding identification probe B9. At this time, the identification probe C17 on the mobile robot 14 and the corresponding identification probe B9 complete the identity recognition and confirm the unloading position. When the conveyor belt A7 transfers the package to the current docking position, the linear module 18 drives the slider 19 and the cross bar 20 to the conveyor. The conveyor belt A7 slides to two movable rods 21 located on both sides of the conveyor belt A7, and then the motor C22 drives the movable rod 21 to flip to be parallel to the conveyor belt A7. The linear module 18 pulls back the slider 19, and the movable rod 21 drives the package to move horizontally and finally falls on the pallet 16. The mobile robot 14 carries the package to the corresponding side of the placement rack 2, and the lifting assembly 15 drives the pallet 16 to lift and lower so that the pallet 16 is flush with the corresponding support plate 3. The linear module 18 pushes the slider 19 to slide again, and uses the movable rod 21 to translate the package onto the support plate 3. After the package leaves the pallet 16, the motor C22 drives the movable rod 21 to flip to an upright state, and the linear module 18 recycles and resets it.

[0024] When picking up the goods, the operation steps are exactly the opposite of the above steps, but the mobile robot 14 finally places the package on the conveyor belt B12, and the motor B13 drives the conveyor belt B12 to move the package toward the guide ramp.
