Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3, the utility model provides an embodiment: a loading hopper for a mobile robot, comprising a body 1, the four corners of the bottom end of the body 1 are fixedly connected with wheels, the wheels here can facilitate the movement of this device, the middle of the top of the body 1 is fixedly connected with an organism 2, the top right side of the body 2 is fixedly connected with a display screen 3, the display screen 3 here is used to display the status of this robot, the right side of the inner wall of the body 1 is fixedly connected with a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly here is used to adapt to conveyor belts of different heights to prevent the inability to accurately load materials due to too high or too low a position, the lifting assembly comprises a double-headed motor 4, the outside of the double-headed motor 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the body 1, the driving ends of both ends of the double-headed motor 4 are fixedly connected with a main shaft 5, the double-headed motor 4 here can drive the main shaft 5 to rotate after starting, the outside of the main shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the body 1, the outside of the main shaft 5 is fixedly connected with a gear 6, and the main shaft 5 here can drive the gear 6 to rotate when it rotates;
[0032] The outer side of the gear 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the car body 1. Grooves 7 are provided at the front and rear ends of the right side of the interior of the car body 1. A rack plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the right side of the groove 7. The gear 6 and the rack plate 8 are meshingly connected. The gear 6 here can drive the rack plate 8 to rise and fall when rotating. The upper and lower ends of the rack plate 8 are fixedly connected to limit blocks 9. The limit blocks 9 here can limit the maximum moving distance of the rack plate 8. The outer side walls of the limit blocks 9 are in contact with the inner wall of the groove 7. A support block 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rack plate 8. The bottom end of the support block 10 is in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall of the groove 7. The outer sides of the two support blocks 10 are slidably connected to a limited position frame 12. The limit frame 12 here is used to limit the sliding range of the support block 10 so that it maintains a linear motion and will not deviate. The right side of the lifting assembly is slidably connected to a support plate 11. The top of the support plate 11 is detachably connected to a material box 13. The material box 13 here is used to load materials on the conveyor belt.
[0033] The inner wall of the support plate 11 is slidably connected with buttons 14 at both ends, and the outside of the button 14 is fixedly connected to a limit ring 15. The limit ring 15 here is used to prevent the button 14 from leaving the range of the support plate 11. The outside of the limit ring 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 11. The inner wall of the support plate 11 is slidably connected with a block 16 at both ends. The support plate 11 here provides a stable sliding space for the block 16. The two blocks 16 are in a snap-fitting relationship with 13. The adjacent sides of the two blocks 16 are fixedly connected with a moving column 17. The adjacent sides of the two moving columns 17 are fixedly connected with a limiting column 18. The moving column 17 here provides stable support for the limiting column 18. The outside of the limiting column 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 11, and the outside of the moving column 17 is sleeved with a spring 19. The spring 19 here is used to provide a reaction force.
[0034] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the block 16, and the other end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit column 18. The block 16 and the limit column 18 here provide stable support for the spring 19. An absorption component is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the vehicle body 1. The absorption component here can absorb the missed materials to prevent waste. The absorption component includes a material box 20. The bottom end of the material box 20 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the vehicle body 1, and the right side of the material box 20 is fixedly connected to the left side of the body 2. Two absorption tubes 21 are fixedly connected to the left side of the material box 20. The absorption tubes 21 here can absorb the missed materials into the inside of the material box 20.
[0035] Working principle: First, command the robot to move to the bottom of the conveyor belt. When the distance from the conveyor belt is too high, it is necessary to adjust its height to prevent affecting the accuracy of the material falling and causing waste. At this time, the double-headed motor 4 inside the vehicle body 1 can be started first. At this time, the double-headed motor 4 will drive the main shaft 5 and the gear 6 to rotate. Because the gear 6 here is meshed with the rack plate 8 on the inner wall of the groove 7, it will drive the rack plate 8 to move up and down, thereby driving the support block 10 and the support plate 11 to move up and down. The limit block 9 here limits the maximum range of the rack plate 8 to move up and down, and the limit frame 12 here ensures the stability of the support plate 11 when it moves up and down to prevent it from shifting. After reaching the appropriate height, stop the double-headed motor 4 and start loading. After completion, control the robot again to start transportation.
[0036] After a long period of use, the material box 13 needs to be disassembled and cleaned. At this time, the button 14 can be pressed to squeeze the block 16, so that it disengages from the material box 13. At this time, the material box 13 can be removed and cleaned. After completion, the button 14 can be pressed again to make the block 16 move toward the center, and then the material box 13 is placed on the top of the support plate 11. At this time, release your hand, and with the cooperation of the moving column 17 and the spring 19, the block 16 can be re-engaged with the material box 13. The limiting ring 15 here prevents the button 14 from disengaging from the engaging range of the support plate 11 and plays a limiting role. This operation can avoid the problem of moving the entire robot when the material box 13 needs to be cleaned, and it is extremely inconvenient when the material box 13 needs to be flipped, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and saving time. The absorption tube 21 can reabsorb the materials missed on the way into the interior of the material box 20, which can further prevent the waste of resources.
