Detailed Implementation
[0026] 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. Example
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, this embodiment discloses a three-dimensional culture rack handling robot, including a moving mechanism, a frame 1, and a push-pull mechanism 2. The moving mechanism is located on the bottom side of the frame 1, and the push-pull mechanism 2 is slidably mounted on the frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with two lifting mechanisms 11 for controlling the raising and lowering of the push-pull mechanism 2. The push-pull mechanism 2 is provided with a fixed base 21, a push-pull support plate 22, and an annular push-pull assembly 23. The push-pull support plate 22 is slidably connected to the fixed base 21, and the annular push-pull assembly 23 is slidably connected to the push-pull support plate 22. Two rotatable rotating push blocks 231 are mirror-imagely arranged at the front end of the annular push-pull assembly 23, and a camera 24 is provided at the front end of the fixed base 21. The lifting mechanism 11 can flexibly adjust its height to facilitate the gripping and handling of culture racks of different heights, while the push-pull mechanism 2 has a two-stage telescopic structure. The annular push-pull assembly 23 can grip the culture rack that extends deep inside and push the culture rack back onto the push-pull support plate 22.
[0028] Camera 24 captures real-time images of the ground guide line and the position of the cultivation rack, analyzing the position, height, and target handling information of the cultivation rack. An ultrasonic obstacle avoidance module 13 is installed on the frame 1, located at the front bottom side of the frame 1. The ultrasonic obstacle avoidance module 13 monitors the surrounding environment in real time, dynamically detecting obstacles and updating environmental information. When an obstacle is detected, the robot adjusts its speed and direction to bypass the obstacle and return to the guide line.
[0029] The frame 1 is provided with four slide bars 12, and the sliders 121 on the four slide bars 12 are respectively connected to the push-pull mechanism 2.
[0030] The lifting mechanism 11 includes a lifting motor 111, a first lead screw 112, and a first sliding block 113. The lifting motor 111 drives and connects to the first lead screw 112, and the first sliding block 113 is slidably connected to the first lead screw 112. The first sliding block 113 is fixed to the fixed base 21. The two lifting mechanisms 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the push-pull mechanism 2. The lifting motor 111 controls the rotation of the first lead screw 112 to achieve the clamping height of the push-pull mechanism 2, which has good precision.
[0031] The fixed base 21 is equipped with a first telescopic motor 211, which drives a second lead screw 212. A second sliding block 213 is mounted on the second lead screw 212 and is fixedly connected to the push-pull support plate 22. The first telescopic motor 211 controls the extension / retraction of the push-pull support plate 22 by controlling the rotation of the second lead screw 212, thus achieving accurate control of the extension / retraction amount. Specifically, the fixed base 21 is equipped with a limit block 214 located above the second lead screw 212 to prevent the push-pull support plate 22 from detaching. The U-shaped fixing base 21 provides support for the push-pull support plate 22 from the bottom and sides. The fixing base 21 is provided with two first slide rails 215, and the first slide rails 215 are provided with first long sliders 216. The first long sliders 216 are fixed to the bottom side of the push-pull support plate 22. The fixing base 21 is provided with slide grooves 217 on both sides of the push-pull support plate 22. The push-pull support plate 22 is provided with protrusions 228 that match the slide grooves 217. The slide grooves 217 and the protrusions 228 are triangular. The fixing base 21 provides multi-point support through the two first slide rails 215 and the two slide grooves 217, which reduces the vibration of the push-pull support plate 22 when it extends and retracts, and improves the stability of clamping.
[0032] The push-pull support plate 22 is equipped with a second telescopic motor 222, which drives two synchronous belts 223. The two sides of the annular push-pull assembly 23 are fixedly connected to the two synchronous belts 223 respectively, and the annular push-pull assembly 23 is equipped with fixing blocks 233 fixedly connected to the synchronous belts 223. Specifically, the push-pull support plate 22 has second slide rails 224 on both sides, and second long sliders 225 are provided on the second slide rails 224. The two sides of the annular push-pull assembly 23 are fixedly connected to the two second long sliders 225 respectively. The middle of the push-pull support plate 22 has a third slide rail 226, and the third slide rail 226 is equipped with a third sliding block 227, which is fixedly connected to the annular push-pull assembly 23. The push-pull support plate 22 uses three sliding structures to make the annular push-pull assembly 23 slide, while the second telescopic motor 222 controls the forward and reverse rotation of the two synchronous belts 223 to control the extension and retraction of the annular push-pull assembly 23, which has good precision.
[0033] The annular push-pull assembly 23 has a rectangular structure. A push plate 232 is provided inside the annular push-pull assembly 23. The push plate 232 is located above and in the center of the push-pull support plate 22. When placing the culture rack, the push plate 232 can push the culture rack to slowly lower it from the push-pull support plate 22. The front end of the clamping assembly is provided with two rotating motors 234 for rotating the clamping block. The drive shaft of the rotating motor 234 is fixedly connected to the rotating push block 231. The rotating push block 231 is provided with a gear groove. The gear on the drive shaft is embedded in the gear groove, so that the rotating push block 231 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft. During clamping, the rotating motor 234 rotates the rotating push block 231 90 degrees. At this time, the rotating push block 231 is perpendicular to the push-pull support plate 22. The annular push-pull assembly 23 opens to protect the push-pull support plate 22. The annular push-pull assembly 23 extends out. The rotating motor 234 returns the rotating push block 231 to its original position, causing the annular push-pull assembly 23 to close and retract. The front end of the push-pull support plate 22 is a downward inclined surface 221. The rotating push block 231 pushes the cultivation rack from the inclined surface 221 onto the push-pull support plate 22.
[0034] The moving mechanism includes two moving wheels 32 and two moving motors 31. The moving motors 31 drive the moving wheels 32, and the two moving motors 31 can be controlled at different speeds to achieve turning operations. Universal wheels 14 are provided at each of the four corners of the bottom side of the frame 1. The four universal wheels 14 provide good support for the frame 1 and offer good stability when the two moving motors 31 control different speeds to achieve turning operations. The frame of the frame 1 is made of aluminum profile, making the three-dimensional cultivation rack handling robot lightweight and possessing excellent performance.
[0035] The specific operation procedure for handling the cultivation rack is as follows: When moving to the clamping position of the cultivation rack, the camera 24 captures image information in real time. Based on the route planned by the image information, the moving mechanism controls the moving motor 31 to rotate the moving wheel 32, so that the three-dimensional cultivation rack handling robot moves to the designated position. The lifting mechanism 11 controls the lifting motor 111 to rotate the first lead screw 112 based on the image information, raising the push-pull mechanism 2 to the required clamping height. When clamping the cultivation rack, the rotating motor 234 is started to rotate the rotating push block 231 90 degrees. At this time, the rotating push block 231 is perpendicular to the push-pull support plate 22, and the annular push-pull assembly 23 is in the open state. The second telescopic motor 222 is started, and the synchronous belt 223 moves forward simultaneously with the annular push-pull assembly 23. If the distance is insufficient, the first telescopic motor 211 can be started to rotate the second lead screw 212 to extend the support clamping plate and increase the telescopic distance. The rotating push block 231 passes through the outside of both sides of the cultivation rack. The rotating motor 234 returns the rotating push block 231 to its original position, and the annular push-pull assembly 23 is in the closed state. At this time, the cultivation rack is located inside the annular push-pull assembly 23. The second telescopic motor... 222 retracts the annular push-pull assembly 23, and rotates the push block 231 to push the cultivation rack from the inclined plane 221 onto the push-pull support plate 22. After the annular push-pull assembly 23 returns to its original position, the first telescopic motor 211 retracts the push-pull support plate 22, and the lifting motor 111 lowers the push-pull mechanism 2 to reduce the center of gravity and improve stability. When placing the cultivation rack, the moving mechanism moves the three-dimensional cultivation rack transport robot to the cultivation rack placement position, the lifting mechanism 11 raises the push-pull mechanism 2 to the required placement height, and the first telescopic motor 211 is activated to extend the push-pull mechanism 2. Pull the support plate 22 to the placement position, start the second telescopic motor 222 to extend the annular push-pull assembly 23. At this time, the push plate pushes the cultivation rack out from the push-pull support plate 22 to the placement position. After the cultivation rack is fully extended, start the rotation motor 234 to rotate the rotating push block 231 90 degrees, and the annular push-pull assembly 23 is in the open state. Then, the second telescopic motor 222 drives the synchronous belt 223 to retract the annular push-pull assembly 23, and the first telescopic motor 211 drives the second lead screw 212 to retract the push-pull support plate 22, completing one handling process.
[0036] This utility model provides a three-dimensional cultivation rack handling robot, which is designed with a ring-shaped push-pull assembly 23 and a push-pull support plate 22. When gripping, the ring-shaped push-pull assembly 23 can surround the cultivation rack and grip the cultivation rack by pushing and pulling, reducing the force on the cultivation rack and avoiding damage to the cultivation rack. The push-pull mechanism 2 adopts a double telescopic design. The lifting push-pull mechanism 2 has a large telescopic range, which makes it easy to push the cultivation rack at a far position onto the push-pull support plate 22. Moreover, the first telescopic motor 211 and the second telescopic motor 222 can accurately control the telescopic range, improving accuracy and practicality. The fixed base 21 is designed with two slide rails and slide grooves 217 to make the push-pull support plate 22 slide stably, which has good stability.
