[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-7 The workbench shown is for calibration of an ASR (Artificial Intelligence Storage Robot), comprising:
[0031] Workbench base 1;
[0032] A ramp 2 is installed on one side of the workbench base 1 for the ASR robot to climb to the top of the workbench base 1;
[0033] The workbench base 1 has columns 3 installed on both sides, and a crossbar 4 fixed on the top of the columns 3. Side mounting plates 5 are installed on the columns 3. The top of the workbench base 1 has adjustable center wheel positioning plates 6 on both sides. The center wheel positioning plates 6 have slots, and the center wheel positioning wheels 7 are installed in the slots through bearings. Four-wheel reference platforms 8 are also set at the four corners of the top of the workbench base 1. The top of the workbench base 1 has a ground plate 9. The top of the workbench base 1 also has a first detection reference surface 10 and a second detection reference surface 11.
[0034] The workbench base 1 and the ramp 2 are respectively provided with a front radar detection rod 12 and a rear radar detection rod 13 on the side away from each other, and four sets of side positioning adjustment rods 14 are provided on both sides of the top of the workbench base 1.
[0035] The ramp 2 connects to the workbench base 1, facilitating the rapid transfer of the ASR robot to the top of the workbench base 1. The positioning wheel 7 is then used to position the positioning wheel 25, ensuring that the front moving wheel 24 and the rear moving wheel 26 are located on the top of the four-wheel reference platform 8. Subsequently, the side positioning adjustment rod 14 is used to adjust the ASR robot laterally, ensuring that the ASR robot is located at the center of the top of the workbench base 1, facilitating the ground code camera 27 to capture the QR code on the ground code plate 9. In conjunction with the first detection reference surface 10 and the second detection reference surface 11, rapid detection is performed using the radar detection rods at the front and rear positions, achieving efficient and rapid factory inspection and calibration.
[0036] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown:
[0037] Fixing bolts 15 are fixed on both sides of the top of the workbench base 1 near the ramp plate 2. Hook plates 16 are fixed on both sides of one end of the ramp plate 2. The hook plates 16 are snapped onto the fixing bolts 15. The connection between the hook plates 16 and the fixing bolts 15 makes it easy and quick to connect the ramp plate 2 and the workbench base 1, which facilitates the ASR robot to move up and down the workbench base 1.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown:
[0039] A cylinder is installed at the bottom of the workbench base 1. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixed on the middle wheel positioning plate 6. A through groove is opened at the top of the workbench base 1. The middle wheel positioning plate 6 is located in the through groove. The cylinder facilitates the raising and lowering of the middle wheel positioning plate 6, and facilitates the tangential contact between the middle wheel positioning wheel 7 and the positioning middle wheel 25 to support the ASR robot. At the same time, it facilitates the smooth passage of the front wheel 24 across the through groove, and prevents the ASR robot from shaking when the front wheel 24 passes over the protruding middle wheel positioning wheel 7.
[0040] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown:
[0041] The workbench base 1 has fixed brackets 17 on both sides of the top. Two sets of side positioning adjustment rods 14 are threaded onto the fixed bracket 17 on one side. An operating handle is fixed to the outside of the side positioning adjustment rods 14. The fixed brackets 17 facilitate the limiting installation of the side positioning adjustment rods 14. The side positioning adjustment rods 14 are rotated using the operating handles, and the ASR robot is moved laterally using the side positioning adjustment rods 14.
[0042] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3 As shown:
[0043] The first detection reference surface 10 is installed at the top of the workbench base 1 away from the ramp plate 2, and the second detection reference surface 11 is installed on the fixed frame 17. The tops of the first detection reference surface 10, the four-wheel reference platform 8, the middle wheel positioning plate 6, and the ground plate 9 are all on the same horizontal plane. The second detection reference surface 11 is higher than the first detection reference surface 10. By ensuring that the first detection reference surface 10, the four-wheel reference platform 8, the middle wheel positioning plate 6, and the ground plate 9 are the same horizontal plane, it is convenient to ensure the levelness of the ASR robot on the top of the workbench base 1. Measurements are performed using the first detection reference surface 10 and the second detection reference surface 11 as references to ensure the uniformity of the detection data of each ASR robot.
[0044] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown:
[0045] A horizontal adjustment bolt 18 is provided at each of the four corners of the top of the workbench base 1. The horizontal adjustment bolt 18 is threaded through the workbench base 1 and extends downward. With the setting of the horizontal adjustment bolt 18, the levelness of the top surface of the workbench base 1 can be adjusted in conjunction with the level instrument to ensure the accuracy of the test.
[0046] In addition, such as Figure 1-3 As shown:
[0047] A connecting rod 19 is fixed to the top of the fixed frame 17. The end of the connecting rod 19 away from the fixed frame 17 extends towards the front and rear sides of the workbench base 1. A locking piece 20 is slidably provided at the junction of the front radar detection rod 12 and the rear radar detection rod 13 with the connecting rod 19. The locking piece 20 is fixedly connected to the front radar detection rod 12, the rear radar detection rod 13 and the connecting rod 19 respectively by a quick-release wrench 21. The connecting rod 19 extends the front radar detection rod 12 and the rear radar detection rod 13 to ensure the stability of the front radar detection rod 12 and the rear radar detection rod 13 in the front and rear positions of the ASR robot. At the same time, the quick-release wrench 21 and the locking piece 20 facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the front radar detection rod 12 and the rear radar detection rod 13.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown:
[0049] The ASR robot includes a robot base 22, a loading platform 23 on the top of the robot base 22, and front wheels 24, middle wheels 25, and rear wheels 26 on the bottom sides of the robot base 22 from front to back. A ground code camera 27 is also installed on the bottom of the robot base 22. A side scanning camera 29 and a detection radar 30 are also installed on the ASR robot. By limiting the structure of the ASR robot, the detection equipment on the workbench base 1 can be designed based on the structure of the ASR robot to achieve accurate detection and calibration.
[0050] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown:
[0051] Two sets of lifting ports 28 are provided at the top of the ramp plate 2 near the workbench base 1. The lifting ports 28 are located on the opposite side of the hook plate 16. The design of the lifting ports 28 makes it easy to lift the ramp plate 2 and quickly connect the ramp plate 2 to the workbench base 1 using the hook plate 16 and the fixing bolt 15.
[0052] In practical use: First, install the workbench base 1 to the inspection station. Adjust the workbench base 1 to the horizontal position by rotating the horizontal adjustment bolt 18 and cooperating with the level. Adjust the center wheel positioning wheel 7, attach the ground code plate 9, and ensure that the relative position is centered. Attach the QR code to the side code plate 5. First, use the quick-release wrench 21 to remove the rear radar detection rod 13 on one side of the ramp plate 2. The ASR robot will automatically or manually push along the ramp plate 2 to the top of the workbench base 1. When the two positioning center wheels 25 are just between the center wheel positioning wheels 7, start the cylinder to move the center wheel positioning plate 6 upward, so that the positioning center wheels 25 are tangent to the center wheel positioning wheels 7 and the center wheel positioning plate 6 respectively. At the same time, move the front wheel 24 and the rear wheel 26 to land on the four-wheel reference platform 8. Then, rotate the side positioning adjustment rod 14 to push the ASR robot to the middle position.
[0053] Then, using the first detection reference plane 10 and the second detection reference plane 11 as references, the height of three mutually perpendicular positions within a 23270-degree range of the vehicle's cargo platform from the references is measured, the difference is calculated, and the height consistency of the three positions is determined.
[0054] Adjust the ground code camera 27 to align with the ground code on the ground code plate 9, so that the camera is in the center position;
[0055] The lifting platform 23 detects the relative position of the QR code on the side barcode scanner 29 and the side barcode label 5, ensuring the camera is in the designated position. Simultaneously, it assesses the obstacle response sensitivity between the front and rear detection radars 30 and the detection rod. Finally, the ASR robot is moved off the workbench base 1 and replaced with the next vehicle for inspection.
[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
