DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] In this article, terms such as "upper, lower, inside, outside" are established based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Depending on the different drawings, the corresponding positional relationships may also change accordingly. Therefore, they cannot be understood as absolute limitations on the scope of protection; moreover, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component from another with the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these components.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a handling robot based on automation includes: a machine base 1; a transverse frame 6, which is movably arranged on the machine base 1; a vertical power source 5, which is arranged on the transverse frame 6; a clamping frame 7, which is connected to the vertical power source 5; a displacement sensor 15, which is arranged on the clamping frame 7; a pair of clamping plates 12, which are movably arranged on the clamping frame 7, and a clamping space is formed between the two clamping plates 12 of the same pair; a clamping power source 11, which is arranged on the clamping frame 7, and is used to drive the two clamping plates 12 of the same pair to approach each other; a controller, which is arranged on the machine base 1, and is electrically connected to the clamping power source 11, the controller is electrically connected to the displacement sensor 15, and the controller is electrically connected to the vertical power source 5.

[0031] Specifically, during the transportation process, the initial position of the object to be transported and the position to which it needs to be transported are both artificially set and will not change significantly in the short term. During the transportation process, the transverse frame 6 moves to the initial position, the vertical power source 5 drives the clamping frame 7 to move downward, and the pair of clamps 12 move closer to each other under the drive of the clamping power source 11, thereby clamping the object to be transported, and then move to the position to be transported under the drive of the vertical power source 5 and the transverse frame 6. At this time, the pair of clamps 12 move away from each other under the drive of the clamping power source 11, thereby putting down the object to be transported. The displacement sensor 15 is used to detect the distance between the clamping frame 7 and the object to be transported, and controls the vertical power source 5 according to the distance signal to move the clamping frame 7 to the appropriate position. At this time, the pair of clamps 12 are used to clamp the object to be transported. Automated transportation is achieved through the above steps. The vertical power source 5 and the clamping power source 11 are preferably cylinders.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention further comprises: a chute 9 provided on the clamping frame 7; and a slider provided on the clamping plate 12, and the slider is adapted to the chute 9. In order to improve the stability of the clamping plate 12 during movement, the chute 9 is provided on the clamping frame 7, and the slider is provided at the top of the clamping plate 12 and extends into the chute 9. The cooperation between the slider and the chute 9 improves the stability of the clamping plate 12 during movement.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes: a vertical limiting plate, which is arranged on the clamping plate 12. When the two clamping blocks are close to each other, the vertical limiting plate is inserted into the bottom of the object to be transported, thereby preventing the object from falling during the transport process and improving the safety of the automated transport robot.

[0034] Furthermore, the vertical limiting plate includes: a connecting portion 13, the connecting portion 13 is used to connect the splint 12; an extension portion 10, the extension portion 10 is connected to the connecting portion 13, and a transition portion 101 is provided on the side of the extension portion 10 away from the connecting portion 13. The connecting portion 13 is provided with a connecting groove, the connecting groove is used to accommodate the splint 12, and the connecting portion 13 and the splint 12 are then connected together by fasteners (such as bolts, etc.). In order to make it easier for the vertical limiting plate to be inserted into the bottom of the object to be transported, a transition portion 101 is specially provided. In the process of the vertical limiting plate moving toward the object to be transported, the transition portion 101 makes it easier for the vertical limiting plate to be inserted into the bottom of the object to be transported. The transition portion 101 is preferably an arc-shaped transition portion 101.

[0035] Furthermore, the apparatus further comprises: a mounting frame 14, which is mounted on the clamping frame 7; a displacement sensor 15, which is mounted on the mounting frame 14; and a vacuum suction cup 8, which is mounted on the mounting frame 14. In the process of clamping the object to be transported, the vacuum suction cup 8 sucks the object to be transported, and the vertical power source 5 drives the object to be transported upward for a distance, making it easier for the vertical limit plate to be inserted into the bottom of the object to be transported. The vacuum suction cup 8 also provides multiple insurances to prevent the object from falling. The vacuum suction cup 8 is a mature existing technology, and its structure is not specifically limited here.

[0036] The machine further comprises: a lateral force source 3 disposed on the machine base 1, with a controller electrically connected to the lateral force source 3; a screw 2 connected to the lateral force source 3; and a nut block 16 connected to the lateral frame 6. The lateral force source 3 drives the screw 2 to rotate, thereby driving the nut block 16 to move, and thus driving the lateral frame 6 to move. The lateral force source 3 is preferably a motor.

[0037] The above-mentioned technical features can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
