[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] The term "connection method" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model provides an overall structural diagram of an embodiment of an installation mechanism for automated storage and retrieval systems, including:

[0035] Please see Figures 1-5This embodiment provides an installation mechanism for an automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) device, including an AGV body 1. A rotating platform 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the top of the AGV body 1. A robotic arm 3 is latched onto the top of the rotating platform 2. An installation assembly 4 is fixed inside the rotating platform 2. The installation assembly 4 includes multiple springs 401. An installation plate 402 is fixed to the top of each spring 401. Pulling blocks 403 are welded to both side walls of the installation plate 402. Locking blocks 404 are welded to both sides of the top of the installation plate 402. An insertion port 405 is opened at the top of the rotating platform 2. A connecting rod 406 is fixed to the bottom of the robotic arm 3. An insertion plate 407 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod 406. Both sides of the bottom of plate 407 are provided with slots 408. The charging component 5 is fixed inside the AGV body 1. By pressing down the lever 403, the mounting plate 402 is moved downward, thereby causing the locking block 404 to move downward and disengage from the slot 408. Rotating the robotic arm 3 causes the connecting rod 406 to rotate the insert plate 407. Moving the robotic arm 3 upward causes the insert plate 407 to disengage from the socket 405. The robotic arm 3 is removed for maintenance. After inserting the insert plate 407 into the socket 405, it is rotated to reset. The rebound force of the spring 401 causes the mounting plate 402 to move upward, thereby causing the locking block 404 to move upward and engage with the slot 408, making disassembly and assembly easier.

[0036] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the centralized collection of sugarcane, the charging component 5 specifically includes a motor 501. A worm gear 502 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 501. Worm wheels 503 are meshed at both ends of the outer circumference of the worm gear 502. Lead screws 504 are fixedly installed on the inner circumference of the two worm wheels 503. Slider blocks 505 are threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the two lead screws 504. Charging brush blocks 506 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the sliders 505. The motor 501 is electrically connected to an external power source. When the AGV body 1 is moved to the top of the charging brush plate, the motor 501 is turned on to drive the worm gear 502 to rotate, thereby causing the two worm wheels 503 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the two lead screws 504 to rotate, driving the two sliders 505 to move simultaneously, thus moving the charging brush blocks 506 to move and contact the brush plate for charging.

[0037] Next, to prevent the robotic arm 3 from wobbling, specifically, the size of the insertion port 405 matches the size of the insertion plate 407, and the size of the locking block 404 matches the size of the slot 408. The locking block 404, which matches the size of the slot 408, makes the installation of the robotic arm 3 more stable.

[0038] Meanwhile, in order to prevent the slider 505 from detaching from the lead screw 504, specifically, a fixing block 507 is fixed at the bottom of both lead screws 504. The diameter of the fixing block 507 is larger than the diameter of the lead screw 504. The slider 505 is prevented from falling off by the fixing block 507 with a diameter larger than that of the lead screw 504.

[0039] Furthermore, to improve the performance of the charging brush block 506, specifically, the top of the charging brush block 506 is made of UPE, and the bottom of the charging brush block 506 is made of copper. UPE, or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, is an engineering plastic with good comprehensive performance. It has good wear resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, self-lubrication, and impact absorption. Copper, also known as red copper, has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent plasticity, and is easy to process by hot pressing and cold pressure. It is widely used in the manufacture of products that require good conductivity, such as wires, cables, brushes, and EDM copper.

[0040] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the use of the AGV body 1, a warning light 6 is fixedly installed at the other end of the top of the AGV body 1, and multiple heat dissipation holes 7 are opened on both sides of the AGV body 1. The warning light 6 improves the warning effect, and the heat dissipation holes 7 prevent the AGV body 1 from being damaged due to excessive temperature during operation.

[0041] Finally, to prevent collision damage, specifically, a pad 8 is fixed to the side wall of the AGV body 1. The pad 8 is made of polyurethane. The polyurethane pad 8 prevents damage to the AGV body 1 when it collides.

[0042] In addition, the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. Furthermore, the scope of protection of this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and methods.

[0043] The device or equipment models mentioned in this article may be as follows:

[0044] Motor 501: Y90S-2.

[0045] Combination Figures 1-5 The following is a specific usage process of an installation mechanism for automated storage and retrieval systems (AS / RS) equipment according to this embodiment:

[0046] 1. When this device is needed for installation in automated storage and retrieval systems, press down on the lever 403 to move the mounting plate 402 and the locking block 404 downwards. Rotate the robotic arm 3 to rotate the connecting rod 406 to rotate the insert plate 407 to the bottom of the insertion port 405. Move the robotic arm 3 upwards to disengage the insert plate 407 from the insertion port 405. Remove the robotic arm 3 for maintenance. After maintenance, insert the insert plate 407 of the robotic arm 3 into the insertion port 405 and rotate it back to its original position. The rebound force of the spring 401 causes the mounting plate 402 to move the locking block 404 upwards. The locking block 404 engages with the slot 408 to complete the assembly.

[0047] 2: Move the AGV body 1 to the top of the charging brush plate, start the motor 501 to make the worm 502 rotate and drive the two worm wheels 503 to rotate, thereby causing the two lead screws 504 to rotate and drive the two sliders 505 to move simultaneously, and then the charging brush block 506 moves down to contact the brush plate for automatic charging.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
