The horizontal plate 4 is provided with a visual sensor 10 on the side away from the electric telescopic column 2. The driving member 8 includes a double-headed motor 81 fixedly installed in the horizontal plate 4, and a screw rod 82 fixedly installed at both ends of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 81. The two groups of the screw rods 82 have opposite thread directions, and the two groups of the screw rods 82 are respectively threadedly connected to the side extension plate 5. The driving member 9 includes a double-headed motor 91 fixedly installed in the side extension plate 5, and a screw rod 92 fixedly installed at both ends of the output shaft of the double-headed motor 91. The two groups of the screw rods 92 have opposite thread directions, and the two groups of the screw rods 92 are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting plate 7.
[0021] When in use, the horizontal plate 4, the side extension plate 5, the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 form a pallet as a whole. The mounting plate 1 serves as the fixed foundation of the entire manipulator. The electric telescopic column 1 2 installed thereon is perpendicular to the mounting plate 1. When the height of the pallet needs to be adjusted, the electric telescopic column 1 2 works, and its output shaft is extended and retracted to drive the electric telescopic column 2 3 connected thereto and the horizontal plate 4 below and other structures to move up and down. The electric telescopic column 2 3 is parallel to the mounting plate 1 and is used to adjust the position of the pallet in the horizontal direction. The electric telescopic column 1 2 is used in combination with the electric telescopic column 2 3 to drive the pallet to be inserted into the gap of the pallet to fix the pallet and then carry it.
[0022] The visual sensor 10 can detect the spacing between the pallets. After the detection is completed, the double-headed motor 81 in the horizontal plate 4 is started to work, and the screw rods 82 at both ends of its output shaft rotate. Since the two sets of screw rods 82 have opposite thread directions and are respectively threadedly connected to the side extension plates 5, they can drive the side extension plates 5 and the connecting plates 7 on both sides to move closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the horizontal length of the pallet. At the same time, when the double-headed motor 91 in the side extension plate 5 is working, the screw rods 92 at both ends of its output shaft rotate. Since the two sets of screw rods 92 have opposite thread directions and are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting plates 7, they can drive the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the longitudinal length of the pallet. In this way, the size of the pallet can be adjusted according to the pallet spacing, which has strong applicability and effectively improves the handling efficiency and operation continuity.
[0023] The upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 are both provided with pads on the side away from the horizontal plate 4, and the pads are made of rubber;
[0024] The rubber pads laid on the side of the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 away from the horizontal plate 4 play a buffering and protective role during transportation. When the support plate contacts the pallet, the rubber pads can reduce collision and wear, protect the pallet and goods from damage, and at the same time increase friction and improve transportation stability.
[0025] The end of the output shaft of the electric telescopic column 2 3 is fixedly mounted with a mounting block 11, and the side of the horizontal plate 4 close to the mounting block 11 is provided with a socket 12, and the mounting block 11 is snap-fitted into the socket 12;
[0026] The entire tray can be easily disassembled and assembled for easy maintenance or replacement.
[0027] A controller is provided on the mounting plate 1, and the controller is electrically connected to the visual sensor 10, the double-headed motor 1 81, and the double-headed motor 2 91 respectively;
[0028] The controller provided on the mounting plate 1 is electrically connected to the visual sensor 10, the double-headed motor 1 81 and the double-headed motor 2 91 respectively. It is responsible for receiving the pallet spacing data transmitted by the visual sensor 10, then calculating the pallet size that needs to be adjusted, and controlling the operation of the double-headed motor 1 81 and the double-headed motor 2 91. This not only improves the intelligence level of the pallet handling robot, but also realizes the precise adjustment of the pallet size, effectively improving the handling efficiency and operation continuity.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] When in use, the horizontal plate 4, the side extension plate 5, the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 form a pallet as a whole. The mounting plate 1 serves as the fixed foundation of the entire manipulator. The electric telescopic column 1 2 installed thereon is perpendicular to the mounting plate 1. When the height of the pallet needs to be adjusted, the electric telescopic column 1 2 works, and its output shaft is extended and retracted to drive the electric telescopic column 2 3 connected thereto and the horizontal plate 4 below and other structures to move up and down. The electric telescopic column 2 3 is parallel to the mounting plate 1 and is used to adjust the position of the pallet in the horizontal direction. The electric telescopic column 1 2 is used in combination with the electric telescopic column 2 3 to drive the pallet to be inserted into the gap of the pallet to fix the pallet and then carry it.
[0031] The visual sensor 10 can detect the spacing between the pallets. After the detection is completed, the double-headed motor 81 in the horizontal plate 4 is started to work, and the screw rods 82 at both ends of its output shaft rotate. Since the two sets of screw rods 82 have opposite thread directions and are respectively threadedly connected to the side extension plates 5, they can drive the side extension plates 5 and the connecting plates 7 on both sides to move closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the horizontal length of the pallet. At the same time, when the double-headed motor 91 in the side extension plate 5 is working, the screw rods 92 at both ends of its output shaft rotate. Since the two sets of screw rods 92 have opposite thread directions and are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting plates 7, they can drive the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby adjusting the longitudinal length of the pallet. In this way, the size of the pallet can be adjusted according to the pallet spacing, which has strong applicability and effectively improves the handling efficiency and operation continuity.
[0032] The rubber pads on the side of the upper extension plate 6 and the connecting plate 7 away from the horizontal plate 4 play a buffering and protective role during transportation. When the support plate contacts the pallet, the rubber pads can reduce collision and wear, protect the pallet and goods from damage, and increase friction to improve the stability of transportation.
[0033] The controller provided on the mounting plate 1 is electrically connected to the visual sensor 10, the double-headed motor 1 81 and the double-headed motor 2 91 respectively. It is responsible for receiving the pallet spacing data transmitted by the visual sensor 10, then calculating the pallet size that needs to be adjusted, and controlling the operation of the double-headed motor 1 81 and the double-headed motor 2 91. This not only improves the intelligence level of the pallet handling robot, but also realizes the precise adjustment of the pallet size, effectively improving the handling efficiency and operation continuity.
[0034] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
