Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cargo sorting technology, and specifically relates to an automated material picking and sorting mechanism with detection function. Background Technology

[0002] Automated picking and sorting mechanisms are intelligent equipment in the logistics and warehousing field. By integrating robot vision recognition, multi-joint robotic arm precision grasping, AGV dynamic handling, and seamless integration with WMS system, they achieve efficient sorting and dynamic routing of goods.

[0003] When handling small goods in an automated sorting system, the vision recognition module integrated into the gripper of the robotic arm needs to recognize the information strips after gripping. However, due to the physical coverage of the gripper's mechanical structure on the surface of the goods, especially when the label is located in the gripping area, some key information is inevitably obscured, causing the vision detection device to be unable to fully capture image features. At the same time, if the gripper exerts too much force when gripping the goods, it may damage the goods, while if the gripping force is too small, the goods may fall off during transfer. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that grippers can easily obscure information strips on the surface of goods when grasping them, this invention proposes an automated material handling and sorting mechanism with detection capabilities to overcome the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an automated material handling and sorting mechanism with detection function, including a sorting cart. An adjustment component is provided on the top of the sorting cart. A storage component is symmetrically arranged on the adjustment end of the adjustment component. A lifting component is provided on the top of the support end of the adjustment component. An elastic squeezing component is provided on the lifting end of the lifting component. The lifting component is poweredly connected to the driving end of the storage component. Cameras are provided on the inner wall of the storage component and the bottom of the elastic squeezing component.

[0007] The robotic arm is used to move the storage component to the location of the goods, the lifting component is used to move the elastic squeezing component downward, the storage component scoops up the goods and stores them, and the elastic squeezing component squeezes and fixes the goods inside the storage component, and the camera is used to identify the information strips on the surface of the goods.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a mounting base disposed on the top of the sorting vehicle of the transfer vehicle, a robotic arm fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base, and a storage frame fixedly mounted on one end of the robotic arm.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage component includes a bidirectional screw, which is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame. Two threaded blocks are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional screw, and the connecting frame is fixedly connected to one side of each threaded block.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame, the threaded block is movably connected to the fixing rod, and the storage frame is inclined at the bottom of the frame opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting frame. A lifting screw is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame, and a lifting plate is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting screw. A guide rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame, and the lifting plate is movably connected to the guide rod. A motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the lifting screw.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic compression assembly includes a lifting rod, which is movably connected to a lifting plate. The bottom end of the lifting rod passes through the lifting plate and is fixedly connected to a compression plate. The top end of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and a spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the connecting plate and the top of the lifting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connecting frame is provided with an installation cavity, and a first bevel gear is provided inside the installation cavity. The first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw, and a second bevel gear meshes with the outer surface of the first bevel gear. The bottom end of the lifting screw extends into the interior of the installation cavity and is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model moves two storage components to both sides of the goods by adjusting the component, and then drives the storage components so that the goods move into the storage components under the scooping action of the two storage components. At this time, the outside of the goods inside the storage components will not cause any obstruction, so that several cameras can normally identify the information marks on the surface of the goods; at the same time, the two storage components cooperate to form a box shape to support and limit the goods, so that the goods will not fall off during the transfer of goods.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a motor to drive the lifting screw. The rotating lifting screw drives the bidirectional screw to rotate synchronously through two meshing bevel gears. When the goods move into the storage frame under the push of the inclined surface of the storage frame, the lifting plate pushes the extrusion plate downward through the spring and lifting rod, and extrudes the goods. The entire working process only requires one drive source, which simplifies the overall structure of the mechanism. At the same time, since the storage frame can support the goods, the extrusion plate does not need to exert too much pressure when extruding the goods, so that the goods will not be damaged due to excessive extrusion pressure during transportation, and there will be no falling off.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is an automated material handling and sorting mechanism with detection function, including a sorting cart 1. The sorting cart 1 is provided with an adjustment component 2. A storage component 3 is symmetrically arranged at the adjustment end of the adjustment component 2. A lifting component 4 is provided at the top of the support end of the adjustment component 2. An elastic squeezing component 5 is provided at the lifting end of the lifting component 4. The lifting component 4 is poweredly connected to the driving end of the storage component 3. Cameras 6 are provided on the inner wall of the storage component 3 and the bottom of the elastic squeezing component 5.

[0030] The adjustment component 2 is used to move the storage component 3 to the position of the goods. The lifting component 4 is used to move the elastic squeezing component 5 downward. At the same time, the storage component 3 scoops up the goods and stores them, and the elastic squeezing component 5 squeezes and fixes the goods inside the storage component 3. The camera 6 is used to identify the information strips on the surface of the goods.

[0031] When sorting goods, the sorting vehicle 1 moves two storage components 3 to the sides of the goods through the adjustment component 2. At this time, the lifting component 4 is driven, so that the elastic squeezing component 5 moves downward. At the same time, the two storage components 3 move towards the goods. The goods move into the storage component 3 under the scooping action of the storage component 3. Then the elastic squeezing component 5 completes the squeezing and fixing of the goods. During this process, several cameras 6 identify the information marks on the surface of the goods.

[0032] By adjusting component 2, the two storage components 3 are moved to the sides of the goods, and then the storage components 3 are driven, so that the goods are moved into the inside of the storage components 3 by the scooping action of the two storage components 3. At this time, the outside of the goods inside the storage components 3 will not cause any obstruction, so that the cameras 6 can normally identify the information marks on the surface of the goods; at the same time, the two storage components 3 cooperate to form a box shape to support and limit the goods, so that the goods will not fall off during the transfer of goods.

[0033] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 2 includes a mounting base 201, which is disposed on the top of the sorting vehicle of the transfer vehicle. A robotic arm 202 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 201, and a connecting frame 203 is fixedly mounted on one end of the robotic arm 202.

[0034] The mounting base 201 can adjust the orientation of the connecting frame 203 via the robotic arm 202. At the same time, the robotic arm 202 can adjust the height of the storage component 3 via the connecting frame 203. The above settings enable the two storage components 3 to move to the sides of the goods with relatively high precision when sorting goods.

[0035] In one embodiment, the storage component 3 includes a bidirectional screw 301, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 203. Two threaded blocks 302 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional screw 301, and the storage frame 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded block 302.

[0036] When the two storage boxes 303 move to both sides of the goods and the bottom of the storage boxes 303 contacts the ground, the bidirectional screw 301 is rotated. This causes the bidirectional screw 301 to drive the two storage boxes 303 toward the goods through the two threaded blocks 302, so that the two storage boxes 303 can be closed together. At the same time, the goods can be directly placed inside the two storage boxes 303. At this time, the outer surface of the goods inside the storage boxes 303 is not subjected to compression, and it is not easy for them to fall off during transportation.

[0037] In one embodiment, for the connecting frame 203, a fixing rod 304 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 203, the threaded block 302 is movably connected to the fixing rod 304, and the storage frame 303 is inclined at the bottom of the frame opening.

[0038] When the storage frame 303 moves toward the goods, the storage frame 303 can pry the goods with its inclined surface, so that the goods can move into the storage frame 303 better; at the same time, the fixing rod 304 can support the storage frame 303 through the threaded block 302, so that the overall stability of the storage frame 303 is further improved when transferring goods.

[0039] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 401, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting frame 203. A lifting screw 402 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 401, and a lifting plate 403 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting screw 402. A guide rod 404 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 401, and the lifting plate 403 is movably connected to the guide rod 404. A motor 405 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 401, and the output end of the motor 405 is fixedly connected to the lifting screw 402.

[0040] The lifting screw 402 is driven by the motor 405, causing the lifting plate 403 to move downward under the drive of the lifting screw 402 and the guidance of the guide rod 404. At the same time, the lifting plate 403 can drive the elastic compression component 5 to move downward, thereby causing the elastic compression component 5 to compress and fix the goods inside the two storage boxes 303. This setting makes it less likely for the goods to shake inside the storage boxes 303 when the goods are transferred.

[0041] In one embodiment, the elastic compression assembly 5 includes a lifting rod 501, which is movably connected to a lifting plate 403. The bottom end of the lifting rod 501 passes through the lifting plate 403 and is fixedly connected to a compression plate 502. The top end of the lifting rod 501 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 503, and a spring 504 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the connecting plate 503 and the top of the lifting plate 403.

[0042] The lifting plate 403 drives the pressing plate 502 to move downward through the lifting rod 501 and the spring 504, so that the pressing plate 502 can press and fix the goods inside the storage box 303. At this time, under the buffer of the spring 504, the pressing force of the pressing plate 502 when pressing the goods will not be too large, thus avoiding the damage to the goods due to the pressing force.

[0043] In one embodiment, for the connecting frame 203, the inner wall of the connecting frame 203 is provided with a mounting cavity 7, the mounting cavity 7 is provided with a first bevel gear 8, the first bevel gear 8 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 301, the outer surface of the first bevel gear 8 is meshed with a second bevel gear 9, and the bottom end of the lifting screw 402 extends into the interior of the mounting cavity 7 and is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 9.

[0044] When the lifting screw 402 is driven by the motor 405, the rotating lifting screw 402 drives the bidirectional screw 301 to rotate synchronously through the second bevel gear 9 and the first bevel gear 8, thereby causing the extrusion plate 502 and the storage frame 303 to move synchronously. Since there is a certain distance between the extrusion plate 502 and the top of the storage frame 303, when the goods are inside the storage frame 303, the extrusion plate 502, under the push of the spring 504 and the lifting rod 501, extrudes the top of the goods. At this time, the two storage frames 303 continue to move until they are closed together. During this process, the lifting rod 501 pulls the spring 504 through the connecting plate 503, so that the extrusion force of the extrusion plate 502 extruding the goods is not too large. The entire process can be completed with only one drive source, which significantly simplifies the structure and reduces maintenance costs.

[0045] Through the above technical solution, 1. By adjusting component 2, the two storage components 3 are moved to both sides of the goods, and then the storage components 3 are driven, so that the goods are moved into the storage components 3 by the scooping action of the two storage components 3. At this time, the outside of the goods inside the storage components 3 will not cause any obstruction, so that the multiple cameras 6 can normally identify the information marks on the surface of the goods; at the same time, the two storage components 3 cooperate to form a box shape and support and limit the goods, so that the goods will not fall off during the transfer of goods; 2. The lifting screw 402 is driven by motor 405, and the rotating lifting screw 402 passes through two A meshing bevel gear drives the bidirectional screw 301 to rotate synchronously. When the goods move into the storage frame 303 under the push of the inclined surface of the storage frame 303, the lifting plate 403 pushes the pressing plate 502 downward through the spring 504 and the lifting rod 501, and makes it press the goods. The entire working process only requires one drive source to complete, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the mechanism. At the same time, since the storage frame 303 can support the goods, the pressing force of the pressing plate 502 when pressing the goods does not need to be too large, so that the goods will not be damaged due to large pressing force during transfer, and will not fall off.
