The vacuum generator 222 generates negative pressure through the compressed air, so that the robot arm 211 and the suction cup 221 can cooperate to grab the cargo, and then the cargo is transferred to the designated location by the AGV mobile vehicle 101, and the cargo is taken down again by the robot arm 211 and the suction cup 221, so as to complete the sorting and transportation of the cargo.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the barcode scanner 213 is installed on the surface of the robotic arm 211 , and the robotic arm 211 and the cargo tray 212 are both fixed on the top of the AGV mobile vehicle 101 .

[0029] One end of the connecting pipe 225 is connected to the air inlet end of the air tank 224, the other end of the connecting pipe 225 is connected to the air delivery end of the high-pressure air pump 223, one end of the air delivery pipe 226 is connected to the air outlet end of the air tank 224, and the other end of the air delivery pipe 226 passes through the outside of the AGV mobile vehicle 101 and is connected to the air inlet end of the vacuum generator 222.

[0030] The fixing assembly 22 also includes a pressure sensor 227 , an air intake valve 228 and a connecting valve 229 .

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the barcode scanner 213 scans the barcode or QR code of the goods and sends the scanning result to the processor 104. The processor 104 can identify the type of goods, so that the goods can be sorted, and then the goods are grabbed by the mechanical arm 211 and the fixing component 22. The compressed air generated by the high-pressure air pump 223 is transported to the air storage tank 224 through the connecting pipe 225 for storage. The compressed air in the inner cavity of the air storage tank 224 is guided to the vacuum generator 222 through the air delivery pipe 226. The vacuum generator 222 generates negative pressure through the compressed air, so that the suction cup 221 can generate suction to grab the goods. The pressure sensor 227 is used to monitor the pressure in the inner cavity of the air storage tank 224.

[0035] When in use, the compressed air generated by the high-pressure air pump 223 is transported to the air tank 224 through the connecting pipe 225 for storage. When the goods are sorted and transported, the barcode or QR code of the goods is first scanned by the barcode scanner 213, and the scanning result is sent to the processor 104. The processor 104 can identify the type of goods, so that the goods can be sorted. The processor 104 controls the air inlet valve 228 to open, so that the air tank 224 can transport compressed air to the vacuum generator 222 through the air delivery pipe 226. The vacuum generator 222 generates negative pressure through the compressed air, and then the processor 104 controls the air inlet valve 228 to open, so that the air tank 224 can transport compressed air to the vacuum generator 222 through the air delivery pipe 226. 4 controls the robot arm 211 to grab the goods through the suction cup 221 and grab the goods to the inner cavity of the cargo tray 212. Then the AGV mobile vehicle 101 moves the goods to the designated location according to the navigation route provided by the navigation sensor 103. During the movement of the AGV mobile vehicle 101, the obstacle avoidance sensor 102 can monitor the obstacles around the AGV mobile vehicle 101, thereby preventing the AGV mobile vehicle 101 from colliding. Finally, the goods are taken out from the inner cavity of the cargo tray 212 by the robot arm 211 and the fixing component 22, and the sorting and transportation of the goods can be completed.
