[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a mobile robot device for grasping books, comprising: a mobile component 1, a robotic arm 2 at the upper end of the mobile component 1 (see figure), the robotic arm 2 being a six-axis robotic arm, the mobile component 1 including a drive base 3 and a control panel 4, a moving wheel 5 at the lower end of the drive base 3, connecting sleeves 7 welded to both ends of one side of the drive base 3, a cleaning component 6 on one side of the connecting sleeves 7, the cleaning component 6 including a mounting frame 8, a mounting groove 11 on one side surface of the mounting frame 8, a ball screw slide rail 12 fixed inside the mounting groove 11, a screw connecting the moving end of the ball screw slide rail 12 to a fixing seat 13, and a cleaning brush 15 below the fixing seat 13.

[0024] When moving, the ball screw slide rail 12 drives the fixed seat 13 to move back and forth, thereby cleaning the debris in the forward direction by the cleaning brush 15, thus avoiding the robot being affected by debris on the ground and improving safety.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 , 4 The upper end of the cleaning brush 15 is provided with a fixing post 14, and the upper surface of the fixing base 13 is provided with a through-type post groove 21, through which the fixing post 14 passes. One side surface of the fixing base 13 is provided with a fastener hole 20, and one end of the fastener hole 20 is provided with a single-headed fastener 17, through which the fastener hole 20 and the fixing post 14 are passed. An external nut is used to fix the fixing post 14, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , 2 3. Connecting brackets 10 are welded to one side of both ends of the mounting bracket 8. A groove 19 is provided on one side surface of the connecting sleeve 7. A connecting insert plate 18 with a magnetic stone is provided inside the groove 19. A connecting slot 16 is provided on one end surface of the connecting bracket 10. The connecting bracket 10 is inserted into the groove 19, and the connecting insert plate 18 is inserted into the connecting slot 16 and magnetically fixed. This facilitates the quick disassembly and maintenance of the cleaning component 6 and improves the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , 2 On the other side of the mounting frame 8, there is a collision protection pad 9. The collision protection pad 9 is made of fabric wrapped around sponge. During the movement of the robot, the collision protection pad 9 protects the front surface of the mounting frame 8, which plays a collision buffering role, reduces the possibility of collision damage, and improves safety and protection.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, the fixing post 14 passes through the post slot 21 and is fixed by the single-head fastener 17. The connecting bracket 10 is inserted into the sleeve slot 19 and the connecting plate 18 is inserted into the connecting slot 16 and magnetically fixed. The connecting plate 18 is wrapped with a magnetic stone, which facilitates the quick disassembly and maintenance of the cleaning component 6 and improves the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0029] The drive base 3 uses an existing robot mobile base, which moves its position by driving the moving wheels 5 with a motor. This is existing technology. During movement, the ball screw slide rail 12 drives the fixed seat 13 to move back and forth, thereby cleaning the debris in the forward direction by the cleaning brush 15, thus preventing the robot from being affected by debris on the ground and improving safety. The books to be grabbed are pre-input through the control panel 4 and searched through the pre-input database. The robot moves through the moving component 1. The robot uses RFID technology to read the electronic tags on the books to achieve rapid book positioning. The robotic arm 2 is a six-axis robotic arm. The gripping end of the six-axis robotic arm is equipped with a pneumatic gripping mechanism with vision components (not shown in the figure). This is an existing structure. Combined with computer vision technology, the robot can recognize the text on the spine of the book and identify the book. After identifying the book, the robot can accurately grab the book through the robotic arm 2 and the pneumatic gripping mechanism and then deliver it to the designated location. These are all existing technologies.

[0030] During the robot's movement, the front surface of the mounting frame 8 is protected by the anti-collision pad 9, which plays a collision buffering role, reduces the possibility of collision damage, and improves safety and protection.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
