[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , an automatic tile - sticking robot, comprising: a chassis mechanism 1, on which a lifting mechanism 2 is arranged. At the top of the lifting mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3 is installed. At the center of the clamping mechanism 3, a synchronous conveying mechanism 6 is arranged. On the synchronous conveying mechanism 6, a carrier stage 7 is arranged to move on the clamping mechanism 3. On the inner walls near both sides of the clamping mechanism 3, a stretching mechanism 4 is arranged. At the front end of the stretching mechanism 4, a sucking mechanism 5 is installed. At the bottom near the front end of the clamping mechanism 3, a video - transmission pan - tilt mechanism 8 is installed.

[0028] Among them, the lifting mechanism 2 includes four guide rails 21, all four guide rails 21 are installed on the chassis mechanism 1. On the surface of the guide rails 21, sliders 25 are slidably arranged. On the sliders 25, columns 22 are installed. Inside the two columns 22 located behind the chassis mechanism 1, a toothed column 23 is installed. On the chassis mechanism 1, a first motor 24 is installed. The gear installed on the output shaft of the first motor 24 meshes with the toothed column 23. The height of the clamping mechanism 3 is controlled by the lifting mechanism 2, so that after the clamping mechanism 3 completes clamping, it can directly rise to separate the clamped object from the placement surface.

[0029] Among them, the chassis mechanism 1 includes a chassis frame 11, on which a vertical frame 12 is integrally installed. At the four corners of the chassis frame 11, Mecanum wheels 13 are arranged. In the middle of the four sides of the chassis frame 11, small armor plates 14 are installed. On the top of the small armor plate 14 located behind the chassis frame 11, a lighting mechanism 15 is installed. On the top of the small armor plate 14 located in front of the chassis frame 11, a main control module 16 is installed. The Mecanum wheels 13 endow the chassis mechanism 1 with the ability of fast moving speed, diverse and precise moving modes, and can perform tile - sticking operations in various environments.

[0030] Among them, a pump frame 17 is arranged in the middle of the chassis frame 11. Front and rear of the pump frame 17, protective boxes 18 surrounded by mesh plates are arranged. Inside the protective box 18 located behind the pump frame 17, a battery and a power management module are respectively installed. A vacuum pump is arranged inside the protective box 18. At the position of the pump frame 17 on the top of the vertical frame 12, a protective box 19 is arranged. Inside the protective box 19, a main control board is installed. By arranging the pump frame 17, the protective boxes 18 and the protective box 19, the electronic control devices set in the chassis mechanism 1 are protected, preventing the electronic control devices in the chassis mechanism 1 from being directly exposed outside, resulting in bumping during movement.

[0031] Among them, the mesh plates before and after the protective box 18 are locked with the top plate by pins. The use of pins enables the protective box 18 to be quickly opened, allowing the electrical control equipment installed in the protective box 18 to be quickly maintained. At the same time, some items for maintaining the equipment, such as lubricating oil, can be placed in the protective box 18 located in front of the pump stand 17.

[0032] Among them, the stretching mechanism 4 includes a drawer slide rail 41. The drawer slide rail 41 is installed on the clamping mechanism 3. A push rod 42 is installed on the slide bar inside the drawer slide rail 41. A rack 43 is installed on the side of the push rod 42. A second motor 44 is installed on the clamping mechanism 3. The gear installed on the output shaft of the second motor 44 meshes with the rack 43. The front end of the push rod 42 is installed with the suction mechanism 5. The stretching mechanism 4 endows the suction mechanism 5 with the ability to stretch, achieving the longest stretching range of the suction mechanism 5 to the greatest extent, ensuring the feasibility of the operation. At the same time, the control of the motor ensures the accuracy of tile pasting.

[0033] Among them, the suction mechanism 5 includes an axle frame 51. Side frames 52 are arranged on both sides of the axle frame 51. The side frame 52 located at the right end of the axle frame 51 is rotatably arranged therewith. A brushless motor one 53 is installed on the side frame 52 located at the left end of the axle frame 51. The output shaft of the brushless motor one 53 is connected to the axle frame 51. A brushless motor two 54 is installed inside the axle frame 51. The output shaft of the brushless motor two 54 penetrates the axle frame 51 and is installed with a cage 55. A suction cup 56 is installed on the cage 55. The suction mechanism 5 replaces the traditional jaw structure. The suction cup 56 on the suction mechanism 5 achieves the effect of multi-degree-of-freedom suction of tiles through a mechanical mechanism. Combining with the stretching mechanism 4 and the lifting mechanism 2, the robot is endowed with stretchability, achieving the purpose of automatic fixed-point tile pasting.

[0034] Among them, the video transmission pan-tilt mechanism 8 includes a pan-tilt frame 81. A brushless motor three 82 is installed on the top of the pan-tilt frame 81. A top mounting plate 83 is arranged on the top of the brushless motor three 82. A first speed regulator 84 is installed on the top mounting plate 83. And the top mounting plate 83 is installed on the clamping mechanism 3. A second speed regulator 85 is installed on the side of the pan-tilt frame 81. A video transmission frame 87 is rotatably arranged inside the pan-tilt frame 81 near the bottom through a brushless motor four 86 installed. A video transmission module 88 is installed on the video transmission frame 87. By setting the video transmission pan-tilt mechanism 8, the clamping step of the suction mechanism 5 is directly and real-time recognized. Then, the tile and the tiling area are photographed or scanned through the video transmission module 88. By recognizing the features such as the color, texture, and shape of the tile, the recognition and positioning of the tile are realized, achieving the effect of automatically judging the position and direction of the tile.

[0035] Working principle: When using the robot for tile pasting, the chassis mechanism 1 is used to control the direction of the robot so that it travels to the tile placement position. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 is controlled to lower the height of the clamping mechanism 3. The extension mechanism 4 is used to control the elongation of the suction mechanism 5, and at the same time, the direction of the suction mechanism 5 is controlled so that the suction mechanism 5 can be attached to the placed tile for suction. After the suction mechanism 5 sucks the tile, the lifting mechanism 2 and the extension mechanism 4 are controlled simultaneously so that the tile is driven by the suction mechanism 5 and placed on the transfer platform 7 for transportation. After arriving at the tile pasting position, the tile placed on the transfer platform 7 can be sucked to carry out pasting.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
