DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] First of all, it should be pointed out that in the different described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosure contained in the entire description can be transferred to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. Selected positional descriptions in the description, such as top, bottom, lateral, etc., also refer to the directly described and shown figures and are transferred to the new positions in the case of a change in position.

[0020] Embodiment 1, an automatic path-finding freight robot, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a shell 1, a lighting lamp 5, a storage rack 7, a fixing frame 16, a control terminal 17, a rotating assembly and a clamping assembly. The lighting lamps 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front of the shell 1, the middle of the upper part of the shell 1 is connected to the storage rack 7 for placing goods, the upper front side of the shell 1 is symmetrically connected to the fixing frames 16, and the control terminal 17 is fixedly connected between the fixing frames 16 on the left and right parts. The lower part of the shell 1 is provided with a rotating assembly for assisting the robot to move, and the rear side of the upper part of the shell 1 is provided with a clamping assembly for clamping and unloading goods. The control terminal 17 is electrically connected to the rotating assembly, the clamping assembly and the lighting lamp 5.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a fixed block 2, a rotating block 3 and a wheel 4. The fixed blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the front, back, left and right sides of the lower part of the shell 1. The rotating blocks 3 are installed on the outer sides of the fixed blocks 2 through bearings. The lower parts of the rotating blocks 3 are rotatably connected to the rotating shafts, and the outer sides of the rotating shafts are connected to the wheels 4. The rotating blocks 3 can be controlled to rotate by the control terminal 17, thereby driving the wheels 4 to rotate.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping assembly includes a mechanical arm 11, a mechanical clamp 12, a clamp plate 13, an electric slide rail 14 and a connecting pile 15. A plurality of mechanical arms 11 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to the upper rear side of the shell 1, and a connecting pile 15 is rotatably connected between two adjacent mechanical arms 11. A mechanical clamp 12 for clamping goods is installed on the lowest mechanical arm 11 through a bearing, and the mechanical clamp 12 is fixedly connected to the electric slide rail 14. The upper and lower parts of the mechanical clamp 12 are slidably connected to the clamp plate 13, which slides in the electric slide rail 14 and moves inward on the electric slide rail 14, so that the clamp plate 13 can clamp goods of different sizes.

[0023] When the goods need to be transported, the automatic path-finding freight robot can be used. First, the user can control the rotating block 3 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise through the control terminal 17. The rotating block 3 rotates 90 degrees clockwise to drive the wheel 4 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, so that the position of the wheel 4 and the rotating block 3 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. In this way, the height of the shell 1 is reduced, and the distance from the ground is shortened, so that the goods can be moved to the storage rack 7 more conveniently. Then, the user can control the mechanical arm 11 to rotate outward through the control terminal 17. The mechanical arm 11 rotates outward to drive the mechanical clamp 12 to rotate outward. When the mechanical clamp 12 rotates outward to contact the goods, the mechanical arm 11 stops rotating, and then the clamp 13 moves inward on the electric slide rail 14, so that the clamp 13 can adjust the size of the goods. The robot 11 can be controlled to rotate and stably move the clamped cargo to the rack 7. After placing the cargo, the clamping plate 13 moves outward and resets to no longer clamp the cargo. The user can use the control terminal 17 to move the robot 11 inward and reset it, so that the robot 11 returns to the folded state. At the same time, the rotating block 3 can be controlled to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise to reset, thereby driving the wheel 4 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise to reset. Then the cargo delivery destination can be set through the control terminal 17. The freight robot can automatically select the optimal route according to the destination position, realize automatic path finding, and then transport the cargo in the rack 7 to the destination. When the freight robot is used at night, the lighting lamp 5 can be controlled to turn on to increase the brightness. When the lighting lamp 5 is not needed, the lighting lamp 5 can be controlled to turn off.

[0024] Embodiment 2, on the basis of embodiment 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes a battery 6, a support rod 8, a solar panel 9, a guide rod 10 and a rotating rod 18. The battery 6 is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the shell 1, and the battery 6 is located behind the storage rack 7. The guide rod 10 is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the left and right parts of the shell 1, and the front and rear sides of the guide rod 10 are slidably connected to the support rod 8. The left and right parts of the shell 1 are provided with sliding grooves, and the support rod 8 slides in the sliding grooves. The solar panels 9 are rotatably connected between the front support rods 8 and the rear support rods 8. Four solar panels 9 are provided. By pulling the front support rod 8 forward, the solar panel 9 can be driven to rotate forward and move forward. The solar panels 9 are all located above the storage rack 7, and the rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected between two adjacent solar panels 9.

[0025] When the energy in the battery 6 is insufficient and the freight robot cannot be used normally, the user can pull the two front support rods 8 forward, and the front support rods 8 move forward to drive the solar panels 9 between the support rods 8 to rotate forward and move forward. The front solar panel 9 moves forward and drives the other solar panels 9 to rotate forward and move forward through the rotating rod 18, and then the solar panel 9 can be unfolded. In this way, it can fully absorb solar energy and store energy for the battery 6 to provide energy for the freight robot. When the solar panel 9 is not needed, the user can push the two front support rods 8 backward, which can drive the solar panel 9 between the front support rods 8 to reverse and move backward to reset, thereby driving the other solar panels 9 to reverse and move backward to reset, and then the solar panels 9 that are not needed can be folded. When the solar panels 9 are in the folded state, they do not block the top of the storage rack 7, so that the goods can be better placed in the storage rack 7.

[0026] Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art through this disclosure that various changes or modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure is only used to explain, not to limit the utility model, but the scope of protection is limited by the content of the claims.
