Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile handling technology, specifically to a handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-level parking garage mainly consists of multiple parking spaces arranged in an array within a three-dimensional space. After a vehicle enters the garage, it is first placed on a transfer mechanism, which then moves the vehicle one by one into each parking space. The advantages of a multi-level parking garage compared to a traditional parking garage are: firstly, multi-level parking garages do not require ramps for vehicles to travel on, thus saving a significant amount of space; secondly, because the vehicles are lifted by the transfer mechanism, the lifting speed is much greater than the speed at which a vehicle can climb a ramp on its own, so the number of levels in a multi-level parking garage can be much greater than that in a traditional parking garage.

[0003] Vehicle transfer within automated parking garages is primarily accomplished using transport robots. These robots are typically a single, integrated structure, with a fixed spacing between the clamping structures for the front and rear wheels. When the distance between the front and rear wheels of a car exceeds the spacing of the clamping structures, the transport robot cannot clamp the wheels. To address this issue, a transport robot with two separate vehicle bodies has emerged. These two bodies can clamp either the front or rear wheels of a car, and the spacing between them can be adjusted to accommodate different wheel spacings. However, how to fix the spacing between the two vehicle bodies remains a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a transport robot to solve the problem of how to fix the distance between two vehicle bodies.

[0005] This utility model provides a handling robot, including:

[0006] The vehicle frame includes a first vehicle body and a second vehicle body, which are connected to each other by a connector. One end of the connector is fixedly connected to the first vehicle body, and the other end of the connector is movably connected to the second vehicle body.

[0007] A limiting component includes a locking member and a mating member. The mating member is disposed on the connecting member, and the locking member is movably disposed on the second vehicle body. When the locking member is in a first position, the second vehicle body can move relative to the first vehicle body along the guiding direction of the connecting member to move closer to or away from the first vehicle body. When the locking member is in a second position, the locking member cooperates with the mating member to lock the second vehicle body.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting component further includes a drive structure disposed on the second vehicle body, the drive structure being connected to the locking member to drive the locking member to move to a first position or a second position.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, an elastic element is provided at one end of the drive structure connected to the locking member, and the elastic element is connected to the locking member to provide the locking member with elastic force for tight connection with the mating member.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the elastic element has a spring seat and a spring, the locking element has a connecting hole at one end facing the spring seat, the spring seat has a connecting rod, the spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, the connecting rod is inserted into the connecting hole, one end of the spring is connected to the connecting rod, and the other end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the connecting hole.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, a distance detection structure is further included, which is disposed at one end of the first vehicle body facing the second vehicle body. The distance detection structure is signal-connected to the control system, and the control system is signal-connected to the drive structure.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, a guide member is fixedly provided on the second vehicle body, the guide member having a guide hole, and the other end of the connector passing through the guide hole.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, a cable chain is provided on the second vehicle body, one end of the cable chain is fixedly connected to the second vehicle body, and the other end of the cable chain is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the mating member has a rack disposed on the side of the connector facing the locking member, and the locking member has toothed portions that engage with the rack.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the connector has a through hole in which a cable is disposed, and the control box of the second vehicle body is connected to the control box of the first vehicle body via the cable.

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model discloses a handling robot. By setting a mating part on the connector and a locking part on the second vehicle body, the locking part can cooperate with the mating part to lock the connector, thereby locking the distance between the second vehicle body and the first vehicle body. The first vehicle body and the second vehicle body correspond to the front wheel and the rear wheel of the car, respectively, and clamp the front wheel and the rear wheel of the car. The mating part and the locking part cooperate with each other, thereby solving the problem of fixing the distance between the two vehicle bodies. At the same time, the structure of the mating part and the locking part is simple and convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0019] 2. This type of handling robot, by setting up springs and spring seats, releases elastic force on the locking component when the spring is pushed by the spring seat. When the tooth tip of the toothed part presses against the tooth tip of the rack, and the first and second vehicle bodies move slightly out of sync, the toothed part and the rack slide. The force of the elastic component will make the toothed part mesh with the rack, thereby locking the distance between the first and second vehicle bodies. At the same time, it can make the toothed part of the locking component tightly connected to the rack, which is beneficial to improving the limiting effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a handling robot device is provided, comprising: a frame 1 and a limiting component 2.

[0028] Specifically, the frame 1 includes a first vehicle body 101 and a second vehicle body 102. The first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 are connected to each other by a connector 9. One end of the connector 9 is fixedly connected to the first vehicle body 101, and the other end of the connector 9 is movably connected to the second vehicle body 102. The limiting component 2 includes a locking member 201 and a mating member 202. The mating member 202 is disposed on the connector 9, and the locking member 201 is movably disposed on the second vehicle body 102. When the locking member 201 is in the first position, the second vehicle body 102 can move relative to the first vehicle body 101 along the guiding direction of the connector 9. When the locking member 201 is in the second position, the locking member 201 and the mating member 202 cooperate to lock the second vehicle body 102.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 have a movable component. The first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 can move through the movable component. The first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 are connected to each other through a connector 9. One end of the connector 9 is fixedly connected to the first vehicle body 101, and the other end of the connector 9 is movably connected to the second vehicle body 102. The second vehicle body 102 can move relative to the connector 9. A locking member 201 is movably disposed on the second vehicle body 102. The locking member 201 is located on one side of the connector 9, and a mating member 202 is disposed on the connector 9 facing the locking member 201. On the side of 1, the locking member 201 can reciprocate in a first position and a second position. When the locking member 201 is in the first position, there is a gap between the locking member 201 and the mating member 202. The second vehicle body 102 can move relative to the first vehicle body 101 or away from the first vehicle body 101 by moving the moving component along the guide direction of the connecting member 9. When the gap between the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 is reduced or increased to the required gap, the locking member 201 moves to the second position and locks with the mating member 202 to fix the connecting member 9, so that the second vehicle body 102 cannot approach or move away from the first vehicle body 101.

[0030] It should be noted that by setting a mating part 202 on the connector 9 and a locking part 201 on the second vehicle body 102, the locking part 201 can cooperate with the mating part 202 to lock the connector 9, thereby locking the distance between the second vehicle body 102 and the first vehicle body 101. The first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 correspond to the front wheel and the rear wheel of the car, respectively, and clamp the front wheel and the rear wheel of the car. The mating part 202 and the locking part 201 cooperate with each other, thereby solving the problem of fixing the distance between the two vehicle bodies. At the same time, the structure of the mating part 202 and the locking part 201 is simple and convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0031] In one embodiment, the mating member 202 has a rack 2021, which is disposed on the side of the connector 9 facing the locking member 201, and the locking member 201 has a toothed portion 2011 that engages with the rack 2021.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rack 2021 is mounted on the connector 9, and the locking member 201 has a toothed portion 2011 at the end facing the rack 2021. When the locking member 201 is in the first position, there is a gap between the rack 2021 and the toothed portion 2011. When the locking member 201 is in the second position, the toothed portion 2011 engages with the rack 2021, thereby locking the connector 9 and preventing the second vehicle body 102 from moving.

[0033] In one embodiment, the limiting component 2 further includes a drive structure 203 disposed on the second vehicle body 102, and the drive structure 203 is connected to the locking member 201 to drive the locking member 201 to move to a first position or a second position.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive structure 203 is disposed on the first vehicle body 101. Preferably, the drive structure 203 is an electric telescopic rod. The locking member 201 is connected to the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod can drive the locking member 201 to move from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position.

[0035] In one embodiment, an elastic element 3 is provided at one end of the drive structure 203 connected to the locking member 201. The elastic element 3 is connected to the locking member 201 to provide the locking member 201 with elastic force to tightly connect with the mating member 202.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electric telescopic rod is connected to the locking member 201 through the elastic member 3. After the electric telescopic rod drives the locking member 201 to move to the second position, the toothed part 2011 of the locking member 201 has already engaged with the rack 2021. As the electric telescopic rod continues to move, the elastic member 3 is forced to output elastic force to the locking member 201, so that the toothed part 2011 of the locking member 201 is tightly connected with the rack 2021.

[0037] It should be noted that the toothed part 2011 and the rack 2021 may not always mesh perfectly. There may be a situation where the tip of the toothed part 2011 hits the tip of the rack 2021. When the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 are slightly out of sync, the toothed part 2011 and the rack 2021 will slide. The force of the elastic element 3 will make the toothed part 2011 mesh with the rack 2021, thereby locking the distance between the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102.

[0038] In one embodiment, the elastic member 3 has a spring seat 301 and a spring 303. The locking member 201 has a connecting hole at one end facing the spring seat 301. The spring seat 301 has a connecting rod 302. The spring 303 is sleeved on the connecting rod 302. The connecting rod 302 is inserted into the connecting hole. One end of the spring 303 is connected to the connecting rod 302, and the other end of the spring 303 is connected to the bottom of the connecting hole.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spring seat 301 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod via a pin (not shown). The spring seat 301 has a connecting rod 302, which is inserted into the connecting hole (not shown) of the locking member 201. The spring 303 is sleeved on the connecting rod 302, and the two ends of the spring 303 are respectively connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 302 and the connecting hole. When the locking member 201 is in the second position, the spring 303 is pushed by the spring seat 301, and the spring 303 releases elastic force to the locking member 201, thereby making the toothed part 2011 of the locking member 201 tightly connected to the rack 2021.

[0040] In one embodiment, a distance detection structure 4 is also included. The distance detection structure 4 is disposed at one end of the first vehicle body 101 facing the second vehicle body 102. The distance detection structure 4 is signal-connected to the control system, and the control system is signal-connected to the drive structure 203.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, preferably, the distance detection structure 4 is a laser detector, which is located at the end of the first vehicle body 101 facing the second vehicle body 102. The laser detector can detect the distance between the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 and transmit the data information to the control system. The control system is connected to the electric telescopic pole via a signal connection. The control system can compare the distance between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle to be transported with the data information transmitted by the laser detector. If the distance between the front and rear wheels is the same as the distance between the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102, the control system controls the electric telescopic pole to drive the locking member 201 to move to the second position.

[0042] In one embodiment, a guide member 5 is fixedly provided on the second vehicle body 102. The guide member 5 has a guide hole 6, and the other end of the connector 9 passes through the guide hole 6.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, two guide members 5 are fixedly installed on the second vehicle body 102, which are arranged at relatively intervals. The guide members 5 have guide holes 6. The connecting members 9 pass through the guide holes 6 of the two guide members 5 in sequence. The connecting members 9 can move relative to each other along the guide holes 6. The guide holes 6 can guide the connecting members 9 and limit their movement. The locking member 201 is arranged between the two guide members 5.

[0044] In one embodiment, the other end of the connector 9 is provided with a limiting part 7, which abuts against the side wall of the guide 5 to limit the connector 9.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting part 7 is provided at one end of the connector 9 that connects to the second vehicle body 102. Figure 2 The middle limiting part 7 abuts against the right end face of the right guide member 5. The size of the limiting part 7 is larger than the size of the guide hole 6. The limiting part 7 and the guide member 5 cooperate to limit the connecting member 9, preventing the connecting member 9 from coming out of the guide member 5 and disconnecting from the second vehicle body 102.

[0046] In one embodiment, a cable chain 8 is provided on the second vehicle body 102, one end of the cable chain 8 is fixedly connected to the second vehicle body 102, and the other end of the cable chain 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector 9.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the drag chain 8 is fixed to the second vehicle body 102, and the other end of the drag chain 8 is fixedly connected to the limiting part 7. The second vehicle body 102 is movably connected to the connector 9 through the drag chain 8.

[0048] In one embodiment, the connector 9 has a through hole, in which a cable is disposed, and the control box of the second vehicle body 102 is connected to the control box of the first vehicle body 101 via the cable.

[0049] Specifically, preferably, the connector 9 is a tubular structure with a through hole. One end of the cable (not shown) is connected to the control box (not shown) of the second vehicle body 102, and the other end of the cable extends through the through hole to the first vehicle body 101 and is connected to the control box of the first vehicle body 101. The control box of the second vehicle body 102 is connected to the control system through the cable. The control box is connected to the moving component to control the moving component to move. The control system can control the control boxes of the first vehicle body 101 and the second vehicle body 102 respectively through the cable.
