DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0027] The following describes the utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0028] Embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 1As shown in the figure, a gantry-type mobile handling robot includes a vehicle frame 1, a traveling drive assembly 2, a grasping claw 3, a depth camera 4, and a grasping drive assembly 5 for driving the movement of the grasping claw 3.
[0029] Among them, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, the vehicle frame 1 is of a gantry structure, and the vehicle frame 1 includes a top cross frame 11 arranged horizontally. The left end and the right end of the top cross frame 11 are respectively provided with vertical leg frames 12 arranged vertically. The lower ends of the vertical leg frames 12 are respectively provided with traveling drive assemblies 2; the top cross frame 11 is provided with two horizontal moving guide rails 111 arranged at intervals front and back and extending horizontally along the left and right directions.
[0030] Furthermore, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the grasping drive assembly 5 includes a horizontally moving movable frame 51 located above the top cross frame 11. The front end and the rear end of the horizontally moving movable frame 51 are respectively rotatably installed with horizontally moving guide wheels 52 that move along the corresponding side of the horizontal moving guide rail 111.
[0031] Even further, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the horizontally moving movable frame 51 is also provided with two horizontally moving drive motors 53 that act synchronously and are arranged at intervals front and back. The power output shafts of the horizontally moving drive motors 53 are respectively installed with horizontally moving drive synchronous wheels 54; a horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 is tightly connected between the upper ends of the two vertical leg frames 12, and each horizontally moving drive synchronous wheel 54 is respectively engaged with the horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 on the corresponding side.
[0032] It should be explained that the horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 of the first embodiment can be installed between the two vertical leg frames 12 in the following manner. Specifically: as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the left end and the right end of the horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 are respectively fastened to the upper end of the vertical leg frame 12 on the corresponding side through a locking block 6, and each locking block 6 is respectively screwed to the upper end of the vertical leg frame 12 on the corresponding side. Of course, the above installation method of fastening and installing the horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 through the locking block 6 does not constitute a limitation to the first embodiment, that is, the horizontally moving drive synchronous belt 55 of the first embodiment can also be fastened and installed between the two vertical leg frames 12 by other methods.
[0033] In addition, as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, a lifting drive rack 56 is vertically and slidably installed on the transverse moving frame 51. A lifting drive motor 57 is installed beside the lifting drive rack 56 on the transverse moving frame 51. A lifting drive gear 58 is installed on the power output shaft of the lifting drive motor 57. The lifting drive gear 58 meshes with the lifting drive rack 56. The lower end of the lifting drive rack 56 extends below the top cross frame 11, and a lifting movable frame 59 is installed at the lower end of the lifting drive rack 56. The grasping claws 3 and the depth camera 4 are respectively installed on the lifting movable frame 59.
[0034] It should be noted that the gantry type mobile handling robot of the first embodiment is equipped with a controller. The traveling drive assembly 2, the grasping claws 3, the depth camera 4, the transverse movement drive motor 53, and the lifting drive motor 57 of the first embodiment are respectively electrically connected to the controller. During operation, the controller controls the actions of the traveling drive assembly 2, the grasping claws 3, the depth camera 4, the transverse movement drive motor 53, and the lifting drive motor 57 respectively.
[0035] For the grasping drive assembly 5 of the first embodiment, it can drive the grasping claws 3 to move horizontally and vertically. Among them, during the process of the grasping drive assembly 5 driving the grasping claws 3 to move horizontally and transversely, the controller controls the two transverse movement drive motors 53 to act synchronously. Since the transverse movement drive synchronous wheels 54 installed on the power output shafts of the respective transverse movement drive motors 53 mesh with the corresponding transverse movement drive synchronous belts 55, when the transverse movement drive motors 53 drive the corresponding transverse movement drive synchronous wheels 54 to rotate, the entire transverse moving frame 51 moves horizontally and transversely along the left - right direction. During this process, the respective transverse guide wheels 52 roll along the corresponding transverse guide rails 111, and the grasping claws 3 move horizontally and transversely synchronously with the transverse moving frame 51. During the process of the grasping drive assembly 5 driving the grasping claws 3 to move up and down, the controller controls the lifting drive motor 57 to act. The lifting drive motor 57 drives the lifting drive rack 56 to move up and down through the lifting drive gear 58. The lifting drive rack 56 that moves up and down drives the lifting movable frame 59 to move up and down synchronously, thereby enabling the grasping claws 3 and the depth camera 4 to move up and down synchronously.
[0036] When using the gantry type mobile handling robot of the first embodiment for work, the traveling drive assembly 2 acts and drives the entire gantry type mobile handling robot to move to the handling area, and makes the grasping claws 3 located in the upper area of the object to be grasped. When the grasping claws 3 grasp the object, the grasping drive assembly 5 drives the grasping claws 3 to move horizontally and transversely and move up and down, so that the grasping claws 3 accurately reach the grasping position of the object, and then the grasping claws 3 act to achieve object grasping.
[0037] It should be noted that for the gantry - type mobile handling robot of the first embodiment, when grasping an object and realizing the handling and movement of the object, the transverse moving frame 51 is supported by two transversely - arranged guide rails 111 spaced apart front and back, and the transverse moving frame 51 moves horizontally and laterally along the transverse guide rails 111 through transverse guide wheels 52; the grasping driving assembly 5 of the first embodiment is supported by a gantry structure. When grasping an object with a relatively large mass, the above - mentioned support structure and the horizontal transverse movement structure can ensure the stability of the grasping claw 3 when grasping an object with a relatively large mass.
[0038] Based on the above - mentioned situations, it can be seen that through the above - mentioned structural design, the gantry - type mobile handling robot of the first embodiment has the advantages of novel structural design and strong adaptability, and can effectively be applied to the grasping and handling of heavy objects.
[0039] Embodiment Two, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the transverse moving frame 51 is screwed with a lifting guide seat 511 corresponding to the lifting driving rack 56, and the lifting guide seat 511 is provided with a lifting guide groove for the vertical penetration of the lifting driving rack 56.
[0040] By guiding the lifting driving rack 56 through the lifting guide groove of the lifting guide seat 511, the second embodiment can effectively ensure the accurate and stable lifting movement of the lifting driving rack 56, the lifting moving frame 59, and the grasping claw 3.
[0041] Embodiment Three, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the traveling driving assembly 2 includes a motor mounting seat 21 screwed and fastened to the lower end of the vertical leg frame 12, a traveling driving wheel 22 rotatably mounted on the lower end of the vertical leg frame 12 through a rotating shaft, the motor mounting seat 21 is screwed with a traveling driving motor 23, and the power output shaft of the traveling driving motor 23 is drivingly connected to the traveling driving wheel 22; among them, the traveling driving motor 23 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0042] In addition, the traveling driving assembly 2 further includes two one - way wheels 24 respectively rotatably mounted on the lower end of the vertical leg frame 12, one of the one - way wheels 24 is located in front of the traveling driving wheel 22, and the other one - way wheel 24 is located behind the traveling driving wheel 22.
[0043] It should be noted that the traveling driving wheel 22 and the one - way wheels 24 are respectively silent wheels.
[0044] When the gantry - type mobile handling robot of the first embodiment moves, the controller controls the actions of the respective traveling driving motors 23, and the respective traveling driving motors 23 respectively drive the corresponding traveling driving wheels 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the overall movement.
[0045] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, based on the idea of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
