[0031] Please see Figures 1-6A delivery robot carrying mechanism includes a delivery robot body 1. A U-shaped column 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the delivery robot body 1. A display screen 3 is mounted on the U-shaped column 2. Multiple trays 4 are slidably arranged inside the U-shaped column 2. A clamping mechanism is provided at the top of the trays 4. First slide blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the multiple trays 4. First slide grooves 6 that mate with the first slide blocks 5 are provided on the sides of the U-shaped column 2. Multiple slots 7 are evenly arranged on the sides of the first slide grooves 6. A card plate 8 that matches the card slots 7 is slidably arranged on the first slide block 5. A fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the card plate 8. The side of the first slide block 5 is located at... Both sides of the fixed plate 9 are fixedly connected to L-shaped plates 10. Compression springs 11 are provided between the two L-shaped plates 10 and the fixed plate 9. Two second sliding grooves 12 are symmetrically arranged inside the U-shaped column 2. Two second sliding blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the tray 4. The two second sliding blocks 13 are slidably engaged with the two second sliding grooves 12 respectively. Two sliding rods 14 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 9. The two sliding rods 14 are slidably engaged with the two L-shaped plates 10 respectively. The two compression springs 11 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the two sliding rods 14 to prevent the compression springs 11 from bending. A handle 15 is fixedly connected to the side end of the fixed plate 9 to facilitate pulling the fixed plate 9 to move.
[0032] Specifically, pulling the fixing plate 9 and the clamping plate 8 separates the clamping plate 8 from the clamping slot 7. The first slide block 5 and the two second slide blocks 13 slide inside the first slide groove 6 and the two second slide grooves 12 respectively, adjusting the pallet 4 to a suitable height. Then, releasing the pull handle 15 pushes the fixing plate 9 and the clamping plate 8 to move through the two compression springs 11, causing the clamping plate 8 to insert into the corresponding clamping slot 7, thereby fixing the pallet 4 at the corresponding height. This facilitates quick adjustment of the position of the pallet 4 and allows for easy adjustment of the spacing between the pallets 4 according to the height of the goods. It avoids the need to unscrew multiple screws to adjust the height of the pallet 4. The method of adjusting the position of the pallet 4 is simple and convenient, improving the efficiency of goods delivery and enhancing its practicality.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The clamping mechanism includes a motor 16. Two third slide grooves 17 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the tray 4. Each of the two third slide grooves 17 is threaded with a screw 18, the threads of which have opposite directions. A connecting shaft 19 is fixedly connected between the two screws 18, and the connecting shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the tray 4. Third slide blocks 20 are threadedly connected to the outside of each of the two screws 18, and the third slide blocks 20 slide in contact with the two third slide grooves 17 respectively. A clamping plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two third slide blocks 20. The motor 16 is mounted on the tray 4. On the side, the output end of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to the side end of the corresponding screw 18, which facilitates clamping and fixing the goods on the pallet 4. The side end of the third slide groove 17 is provided with two limiting grooves 22, and two limiting blocks 23 are fixedly connected to the third slide block 20. The two limiting blocks 23 slide in cooperation with the two limiting grooves 22 respectively, ensuring the stability of the third slide block 20 sliding inside the third slide groove 17. The side ends of the two clamping plates 21 are fixedly connected with rubber anti-slip pads 24 to ensure the friction of the surface of the clamping plates 21 and improve the stability of clamping the goods.
[0034] Specifically, after the goods are placed on the pallet 4, the motor 16 is controlled by the control switch 25. The motor 16 drives the two screws 18 and the connecting shaft 19 to rotate. The two rotations cause the two third slides 20 to move towards the side closer to the goods, so that the two clamping plates 21 clamp the goods, ensuring the stability of the goods placed on the pallet 4. During the delivery process, the goods are prevented from slipping off the pallet 4, ensuring the stability and integrity of the delivery.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The side end of the tray 4 is fixedly connected to a control switch 25 that is compatible with the motor 16, which facilitates the control of the motor 16. Multiple electrical sockets 26 are evenly installed on the U-shaped column 2. The motor 16 and the control switch 25 are electrically connected to electrical plugs that are compatible with the electrical sockets 26. All the electrical sockets 26 are connected to the power supply on the delivery robot body 1.
[0036] Specifically, when the tray 4 is moved to the corresponding height position, the electrical plug connecting the control switch 25 and the motor 16 is inserted into the corresponding electrical socket 26, so that the control switch 25 and the motor 16 can be electrically connected to the power supply on the delivery robot body 1.
[0037] In summary, when using the overall equipment:
[0038] According to the height of the delivered goods, pull the handle 15. The handle 15 moves the fixing plate 9 and the clamping plate 8, so that the clamping plate 8 moves into the interior of the first slide block 5. The first slide block 5 and the two second slide blocks 13 slide into the first slide groove 6 and the two second slide grooves 12 respectively, so that the pallet 4 is installed on the U-shaped column 2 and the pallet 4 is moved to the appropriate height. Then release the handle 15. The two compression springs 11 push the fixing plate 9 and the clamping plate 8 to move, so that the clamping plate 8 is inserted into the interior of the corresponding clamping groove 7, thereby fixing the pallet 4 at the corresponding height. The corresponding number of pallets 4 are installed on the U-shaped column 2 in sequence. The robot 1 places the goods on the pallet 4 and maintains a suitable height distance between adjacent pallets 4. Then, it inserts the electrical plugs connected to the control switch 25 and the motor 16 into the corresponding electrical socket 26. The goods are then placed on the pallet 4, and the motor 16 is controlled by the control switch 25. The motor 16 drives the two screws 18 and the connecting shaft 19 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the two screws 18 causes the two third slides 20 to move towards the side closer to the goods, so that the two clamping plates 21 clamp the goods. The delivery robot body 1 then moves the goods and delivers them to the appropriate location.
