Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of warehouse goods sorting, and particularly relates to a goods sorting manipulator for a three-dimensional shelf. Background Technique

[0002] Since the storage method of the warehouse has developed from plane storage to high-rise three-dimensional storage, the shelf has become the main body of the three-dimensional warehouse. A variety of automated and mechanized warehouses composed of various forms of shelves that meet different functional requirements have become an important link in the warehousing system and even the entire logistics system or production process flow. A manipulator is required when taking, storing, and sorting goods.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN219854661U discloses a sorting manipulator, which belongs to the technical field of manipulators. It includes a fixing plate. A support plate is installed at the lower end of the fixing plate, and a clamping jaw component is installed at the upper end of the fixing plate. A connecting plate is installed on the side of the lower end of the clamping jaw component, and the other end of the connecting plate is installed with a mounting plate. A camera is installed at the upper end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate through a camera fixing mechanism. A manipulator connecting component is installed at the upper end of the clamping jaw component. The manipulator is fixedly connected to a U-shaped seat through a manipulator angle adjusting mechanism. A U-shaped seat is installed at the upper end of the manipulator connecting component, and a manipulator is installed inside the U-shaped seat.

[0004] The above-mentioned sorting manipulator has the advantage of facilitating the installation and fixation of the camera; however, the above-mentioned sorting manipulator and common sorting manipulators still have some disadvantages. For example, the moving stroke distance of the sorting manipulator is short. Since the height of the three-dimensional shelf is generally more than 5 meters, the sorting manipulator with a short moving stroke distance cannot sort the goods at the high positions of the three-dimensional shelf; the clamping force of the clamping structure adopted by the sorting manipulator is small, and the clamping range is small, resulting in the inability to clamp and sort goods with large volume and heavy weight, affecting the taking and placing of goods and greatly affecting the sorting efficiency.
