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.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-11 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] A foldable ASR artificial intelligence storage robot special shelf includes a base frame 2, with wrist-type ankles 14 on both sides and the bottom surface of the base frame 2, and support legs 9 at the four corners of the top surface on both sides and the middle of the base frame 2.

[0035] Side brackets 4 are simultaneously hinged and bolted between the support legs 9 at both ends of the base frame 2. The opposite side walls of the two sets of side brackets 4 are respectively bolted with docking frames 5 for installing and fixing the robot body 1. The two sets of support legs 9 in the middle of the top surface of the base frame 2 are also hinged and bolted with a middle bracket 3 for supporting the robot body 1.

[0036] The interior of the middle support 3 is also equipped with a support component for stacking and supporting the robot body 1.

[0037] By setting side supports 4 on both sides above the base frame 2 and a middle support 3 in the middle of the base frame 2, and by setting docking frames 5 on the opposite side walls of the two sets of side supports 4, the robot body 1 is fixed to the docking frame 5 by bolts, and then the docking frame 5 is hinged to the inside of the fixing frame 6 set on both side walls of the side supports 4 by fixing bolts 8. The robot body 1 is then supported by the support components set inside the middle support 3, and the support components inside the middle support 3 can be stacked, thus realizing the requirement of stacking two robot bodies 1 by the side supports 4 and the middle support 3.

[0038] The support assembly includes a snap-on crossbar 17. U-shaped openings 16 are symmetrically arranged between the upper inner walls of the middle support 3. Every two U-shaped openings 16 in the same horizontal direction form a group. Both ends of the snap-on crossbar 17 are provided with snaps 18. The snaps 18 are inserted into the inside of the U-shaped openings 16 and are bolted to the outer wall of the middle support 3 by bolts.

[0039] Furthermore, U-shaped openings 16 are symmetrically arranged on the upper inner wall of the middle support 3, and two sets of horizontal U-shaped openings 16 form a group. By inserting the buckles 18 at both ends of the buckle-type horizontal bar 17 into the inside of the U-shaped opening 16, and then fixing it by bolts through the side wall of the middle support 3 and the buckles 18, the stability of the buckles 18 during installation is ensured, so that the robot body 1 placed on top is supported by the buckle-type horizontal bar 17, ensuring the stability of the robot body 1 during storage and turnover.

[0040] Mounting holes 21 are provided on the lower side walls of both sides of the docking frame 5. Support frames 19 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the side bracket 4 above the base frame 2. The support frames 19 are fixedly installed to the mounting holes 21 by bolts. Notches 7 are provided at the upper side wall ends of both sides of the docking frame 5. The notches 7 are fixedly installed to the fixing frames 6 provided on the side walls of the side bracket 4 by fixing bolts 8.

[0041] Meanwhile, mounting holes 21 are respectively opened on the lower side walls of both sides of the docking frame 5. The side bracket 4 is symmetrically provided with support frames 19 on the inner wall above the base frame 2. The support frames 19 are fixedly installed with the mounting holes 21 by bolts. Notches 7 are opened at the ends of the upper side walls on both sides of the docking frame 5. The notches 7 are hinged and fixedly connected to the side walls on both sides of the side bracket 4 by fixing bolts 8 to complete the installation of the docking frame 5.

[0042] The middle side wall of the docking frame 5 is also provided with docking holes 20 for installing the robot body 1. The docking frame 5 is hinged to the side bracket 4 by fixing bolts 8. The docking holes 20 are provided so that the robot body 1 and the docking frame 5 can be installed by bolts to complete the initial installation of the robot body 1.

[0043] A guide groove 10 is provided on one side wall of the outer side of the multiple support legs 9. A limit groove 11 is provided above the guide groove 10 at the top of the support legs 9. A stop block 15 for supporting the center support 3 and the side support 4 is also provided on the top surface of the base frame 2 inside the support legs 9.

[0044] Both the outer sidewalls of the middle support 3 and the side support 4 are equipped with connecting components that are simultaneously bolted and hinged to the support legs 9.

[0045] A guide groove 10 is provided on the outer side wall of multiple support legs 9. A limit groove 11 is also provided above the guide groove 10 at the top of the support leg 9. The surface of the base frame 2 is provided with a stop block 15 inside the support leg 9 for supporting the middle support 3 and the side support 4. Limit strips 12 are symmetrically provided on the lower side wall of the middle support 3 and the side support 4. The limit strips 12 are inserted into the inside of the limit groove 11 to fix the middle support 3 and the side support 4.

[0046] Meanwhile, guide pins 13 are bolted to the outer sides of the two side walls of the middle support 3 and the side support 4 respectively. The ends of the guide pins 13 penetrate the guide grooves 10 and the outer arc surface of the guide pins 13 slides with the inner wall of the guide grooves 10. When the middle support 3 and the side support 4 need to be used, the robot body 1 is placed in the guide grooves 10. The limiting strips 12 on the outer side walls of the middle support 3 and the side support 4 are inserted into the limiting grooves 11 respectively, so that the middle support 3 and the side support 4 can be fixed. The robot body 1, which is already in a horizontal position, is lifted by a crane or forklift. After the docking frame 5 is installed on the side wall of the side support 4, the installation of the first robot body 1 is completed.

[0047] When the shelf needs to be recycled and stored, the limiting strip 12 is pulled out from the inside of the limiting groove 11, the side support 4 and the middle support 3 rotate toward the base frame 2, and the falling direction is the opening direction of the side support 4. The outer arc surface of the guide nail 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 10. The side walls of the middle support 3 and the side support 4 respectively contact the surface of the base frame 2, and the total height of the middle support 3 and the side support 4 after falling is lower than the upper end of the support leg. The shelf can also be stacked on top of each other for recycling and transportation without taking up space. The wrist-type ankle 14 at the lower end of the support leg 9 can be put on the upper end of the support leg 9. The folded shelf is stacked on top of each other to save loading space.

[0048] Working principle:

[0049] The shelving loading method consists of three steps: initial loading of robot body 1, hoisting or forklift loading of robot body 1, and stacking of robot body 1. The disassembly and assembly process is exactly the reverse order.

[0050] Step 1: Initial assembly of robot body 1, with docking frame 5 placed on the ground and fitted into the bottom of robot body 1, and robot body 1 and docking frame 5 fixed on the side. Then, lay robot body 1 down and connect the bottom of docking frame 5 to the bottom of robot body 1 with bolts to complete the initial assembly.

[0051] Step 2: Hoist or forklift the robot body 1. Use a crane or forklift to lift the robot body 1, which is already in a horizontal position. Connect the docking frame 5 to the side support. Through hinge and fixed connection, the docking frame 5 is connected to the side support 4 to complete the installation of the first robot body 1.

[0052] Step 3: Stack the robot body 1, install the first snap-on crossbar 17 near the bottom of the middle support 3, hoist or fork the robot body 1 again, fix the docking frame 5 and install the second snap-on crossbar 17 to complete the stacking of the robot body 1.

[0053] When the shelf is placed or retracted: the side support 4 is lifted upwards, the limit strip 12 disengages from the limit groove 10, and at the same time the guide pin 13 moves away from the support foot 9 along the oblique guide groove 10. At this time, the entire side support 4 can be laid down towards the middle of the shelf; the structure of the middle support 3 is similar to that of the side support 4 assembly, and the direction of laying down is the opening direction of the side support 4.

[0054] The total height of the folded-down middle support 3 and side support 4 is lower than the top of the support leg 9, and the subsequent shelves can be stacked on top of each other to save space during recycling and transportation. The wrist-type ankle 14 at the bottom of the support leg 9 can fit perfectly onto the top of the support leg 9, and the stacked shelves after folding save loading space.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
