[0002] At present, there are three loading methods for PE and PP stacked materials in the petrochemical industry: top loading, rear loading, and side loading. During these loading processes, manually driven forklifts are used to load the stacked materials with pallets into the vehicles. Compared with the highly automated petrochemical industry, this end-point manually driven forklift loading is the shortcoming of the entire industry in terms of automation and efficiency.

[0032] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the embodiments will now be further described in detail with reference to the drawings for the structure of the present utility model:
[0033] Embodiment 1
[0034] Reference Figures 1-4, an intelligent loading robot capable of neatly arranging goods, comprising:
[0035] A set of tracks 1, arranged in the left - right direction;
[0036] The chassis of the rail vehicle 2, connected between the set of tracks 1;
[0037] The gantry driving device 3, arranged on the chassis of the rail vehicle 2, and the gantry driving device 3 includes a front - rear driving mechanism;
[0038] The gantry 4, arranged on the gantry driving device 3, and the gantry driving device 3 drives the gantry 4 to move in the front - rear direction. The gantry 4 includes an up - down driving mechanism 401;
[0039] The fork frame 5, arranged on the gantry 4, and the up - down driving mechanism 401 drives the fork frame 5 to move up and down. A first distance sensor 501 is arranged below the fork frame 5, and the first distance sensor 501 is used to obtain the distance between the fork frame 5 and the side of the body of the corresponding loading vehicle;
[0040] The forks 6, arranged on the fork frame 5. A back plate 601 protrudes from the front side of the vertical part of the forks 6, and the left and right ends of the back plate 601 extend downward to form protruding parts 602, and the protruding parts 602 extend to the lower side of the transverse part of the forks 6.
[0041] In this embodiment, the tracks 1, the chassis of the rail vehicle 2, the gantry driving device 3, the gantry 4, and the fork frame 5 can all directly adopt existing technologies, and reference can be made to the existing application with the publication number CN113955522A and the name of an intelligent side - loading device for palletizing materials for loading vehicles.
[0042] One of the core improvements of this embodiment is that: a first distance sensor 501 is arranged below the fork frame 5. When the intelligent loading robot drives the forks 6 forward through the fork frame 5, the forks 6 are above the body of the corresponding loading vehicle to pick up or load and unload goods. In order to identify the position of the goods on the vehicle body, the first distance sensor 501 is added in this embodiment. By being arranged below the fork frame 5, the distance between it and the side of the vehicle body can be obtained, so as to be used for the intelligent loading robot to calculate the front - rear position of the goods on the vehicle body.
[0043] Another core improvement of this embodiment is that a back plate 601 is protrudingly arranged on the front side of the vertical part of the fork 6. The back plate 601 protrudes from the vertical part of the fork 6 and is fixedly arranged. The back plate 6021 can limit the minimum distance between the goods and the vertical part of the fork 6, so that the distance between the fork 6 and the side of the vehicle body can be judged by the first distance sensor 501. The back plate 601 blocks the front of the vertical part of the fork 6 to form a planar structure. In cooperation with this structure, if the loading vehicle body is skewed with the track 1 and other situations occur, after the intelligent loading robot places the goods under the fork 6, the fork 6 can be further driven to drive the back plate 601 to move forward, so as to control the goods to move further forward and place them at the preset front-back position. At the same time, the left and right ends of the back plate 601 of this embodiment extend downward to form convex parts 602, and the convex parts 602 extend to the lower side of the transverse part of the fork 6. When the fork 6 forks the pallet under the goods, the convex parts 602 can correspond to the position of the pallet. Therefore, when the fork 6 drives forward, the back plate 601 cooperates with the convex parts 602 to drive the goods and its pallet to move forward together, so that the rear end face of the goods is flush with the pallet, and the goods and the pallet are placed at the correct front-back position.
[0044] Further, the chassis of the rail vehicle 2 includes a chassis frame, and a plurality of driving wheels and a plurality of driven wheels are arranged at the bottom end of the chassis frame. The driving wheels and the driven wheels are respectively connected to the corresponding tracks, and the driving wheels are driven by a first rotating motor.
[0045] Further, the gantry driving device 3 includes a gantry mounting frame 301. The front-back driving mechanism includes a set of racks 302 arranged in the front-back direction. A gear cooperating with the rack is arranged at the bottom end of the gantry mounting frame 301, and the gear is driven by a second rotating motor.
[0046] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the gear and the rack 302 and the driving action of the second rotating motor, an electric drive structure is realized.
[0047] Further, the gantry driving device 3 includes a set of channel steels 303, and the channel steels 303 are distributed on the left and right sides of a set of the racks 302. Roller wheels 304 cooperating with the channel steels 303 are arranged on the left and right sides of the gantry mounting frame 301.
[0048] In this embodiment, the roller wheels 304 are embedded in the channel steels 303 and cannot break away from the channel steels 303. The channel steels 303 are fixedly arranged on the chassis of the rail vehicle 2, so that the gantry driving device 3 will not turn out of the path defined by the channel steels 303 after moving forward.
[0049] Further, a relief groove 603 is formed by recessing the middle position at the lower end of the back plate 601. A second distance sensor 604 is provided at the position of the bottom end of the forklift fork 6 corresponding to the relief groove 603. The second distance sensor 604 is used to obtain the distance between the vertical part of the forklift fork 6 and the goods.
[0050] In this embodiment, through the data of the second distance sensor 604 and the calculation of the relative position, the vertical part of the forklift fork 6 can be controlled to be flush with the edge of the pallet by the back plate 601, so as to further accurately calculate the position of the goods on the vehicle body.
[0051] Further, a back plate mounting bracket 605 is installed on the vertical part of the forklift fork 6. The back plate mounting bracket 605 protrudes from the front end of the vertical part of the forklift fork 6, and the back plate 601 is installed on the back plate mounting bracket 605.
[0052] In this embodiment, by using the protruding structure of the back plate mounting bracket 605, the back plate 601 protrudes from the front end of the vertical part of the forklift fork 6, defining the minimum distance between the goods and the vertical part of the forklift fork 6.
[0053] Further, a wear-resistant plate is provided on the front end face of the back plate 601.
[0054] The wear-resistant plate can be supported by materials such as PE, and has the characteristics of wear resistance and low friction coefficient, so as to protect the goods from being damaged when the forklift fork 6 moves.
[0055] Further, the forklift fork frame 5 is provided with a slide rail 502. A plurality of sliders 606 are fixedly provided on the rear side of the forklift fork 6. The forklift fork 6 is movably arranged on the forklift fork frame 5 in a left-right direction through the cooperation of the sliders 606 and the slide rail 502. The forklift fork frame 5 is provided with a forklift fork driving cylinder 503.
[0056] The up-and-down driving mechanism 401 and the forklift fork driving cylinder 503 in this embodiment can be electric cylinders.
[0057] Further, a forklift fork mounting plate 607 is provided at the rear end of the forklift fork 6. The forklift fork mounting plate 607 and the forklift fork 6 are provided with a plurality of bolt holes. The forklift fork mounting plate 607 and the forklift fork 6 are locked and set by the bolts. The slider 606 is arranged at the rear end of the forklift fork mounting plate 607.
[0058] With this structure, the installation height of the forklift fork 6 can be adjusted, so as to be applicable to loading vehicle bodies of different heights.
