They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-5As shown, a robot for building block puzzles is provided, including a positioning base 1, a rotating rod 2, a rotating base 3, and a lifting suction head 4. The positioning base 1 has a positioning end at its bottom and a horizontally driven rotating end at its top. The rotating rod 2 has one end attached to the horizontally driven rotating end of the positioning base 1 and rotates horizontally with it. The rotating base 3 has one end rotatably mounted relative to the positioning base 1 at the other end of the rotating rod 2. The lifting suction head 4 has its lifting end connected vertically to the other end of the rotating base 3 relative to the positioning base 1, and its suction end is used to stably pick up and release building block products during lifting. The lifting suction head 4 completes the grasping and puzzle-solving operation from material pickup to the building block assembly position through the horizontal rotation of the positioning base 1, the horizontal rotation of the rotating rod 2, and the lifting motion of the rotating base 3.

[0034] This utility model provides a robot for building block puzzles. By combining the horizontal drive of the rotating end of the positioning base 1, the horizontal rotation of the rotating rod 2, and the lifting motion of the rotating base 3, it can achieve precise positioning of building block products in three-dimensional space. By setting the rotating rod 2, the length of the rotating rod 2 in the horizontal direction increases the rotation radius of the rotating base 3, thereby expanding the working coverage area of ​​the robot in handling building blocks on the horizontal plane and improving the robot's practicality. By setting the lifting suction head 4, the robot can automatically complete the picking, carrying, and releasing of building blocks without human intervention, improving the efficiency of puzzle-solving and effectively reducing labor costs.

[0035] Preferably, the lifting suction head 4 includes a rotary lifting motor 41, a connecting rod 42, and a suction cup 43. The rotary lifting motor 41 is positioned on the rotating base 3, and the connecting rod 42 passes through the lifting end of the rotary lifting motor 41. The connecting rod 42 can move up and down relative to the positioning base 1. The suction cup 43 is positioned at the bottom of the connecting rod 42 and is used to stably pick up and release building block products when the connecting rod 42 is raised and lowered. The rotary lifting motor 41 can achieve precise positioning in the vertical direction and can also adjust the rotation angle as needed, giving the suction cup 43 multi-dimensional operational flexibility. This allows the robot to adapt to various complex assembly needs, further improving the practicality of the robot for assembling building blocks.

[0036] In this embodiment, the clamping suction cup 43 can be installed and fixed with screws.

[0037] Preferably, both the horizontally driven rotating end of the positioning base 1 and the horizontally rotatable end of the rotating base 3 are rotated by drive motors. Independent drive motors provide rotational power to the positioning base 1 and the rotating base 3 respectively, offering stronger power output and stability compared to a single power source driving multiple components. During prolonged, high-intensity block-building puzzle work, the positioning base 1 and the rotating base 3 can be continuously and stably driven to rotate without power attenuation or speed fluctuations due to increased load or prolonged operation. This stable power output ensures the continuity and reliability of the robot's work, reduces puzzle work interruptions or abnormalities caused by power problems, and improves overall puzzle work efficiency. For further beneficial effects, please refer to the excellent patent description.

[0038] Preferably, the block support platform 5 is located at the bottom of the positioning base 1, and is situated at the center of the bottom edge of the positioning base 1, symmetrically distributed with respect to the vertical line connecting the center of the bottom edge of the positioning base 1 as the axis of symmetry. This symmetrical distribution ensures that the lifting suction head 4 maintains a regular and symmetrical movement path regardless of the direction from which it approaches the support platform when picking up materials. This facilitates easier planning of the material picking path by the robot control system, reducing the complexity and computational load of path planning. Through precise path planning, the lifting suction head 4 can reach the target block position with the shortest travel distance and fastest speed, improving material picking efficiency and thus enhancing the overall efficiency of the block puzzle operation.

[0039] Specifically, the block support platform 5 has reference plates 6 on its surface. Several reference plates 6 are distributed along the block support platform 5, and these reference plates 6 surround the center of the block support platform 5. The several reference plates 6 distributed radially on the surface of the block support platform 5 and surrounding the center provide clear reference standards for the placement of the blocks. When placing blocks, the robot can quickly and accurately place the blocks in the appropriate area based on the position and orientation of these reference plates 6, effectively avoiding placement deviations and greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of block handling.

[0040] Preferably, the side of the block support platform 5 is provided with a block conveying source 7, and the lifting suction head 4 performs reciprocating gripping and puzzle operations along the block conveying source 7 and the block splicing position.

[0041] Specifically, the block conveying source 7 includes a shell 71 and a track 72. The interior of the shell 71 is defined as a block storage cavity. The track 72 extends from the block storage cavity along the direction of outputting the block storage cavity. The lifting suction head 4 performs reciprocating gripping and puzzle operations along the output end of the track 72 and the block splicing position.

[0042] In this embodiment, the block conveying source 7 can be a vibratory feeder, which can orderly arrange the disordered blocks in the block storage cavity and convey them to the output end of the track 72. The continuous and stable vibration frequency of the vibratory feeder ensures that the blocks enter the track 72 one by one smoothly, avoiding the accumulation and jamming of blocks, providing a stable and regular material picking rhythm for the lifting suction head 4, ensuring the continuity of the block puzzle operation, and greatly reducing the number of operation interruptions caused by poor material supply.

[0043] Specifically, the platform 5 of the building blocks has openings 8 on its surface, and several openings 8 are distributed along the platform 5. When cleaning the platform, it is convenient for cleaning tools or airflow to penetrate and discharge dust, debris and other impurities accumulated on the platform through the openings 8, maintaining the cleanliness of the building block storage environment and preventing impurities from affecting the accuracy of the building block assembly.

[0044] In other implementations, opening 8 is used to lift the assembled block module from the support platform after the blocks are assembled, in conjunction with the lifting mechanism, so that the subsequent handling equipment can grab it and achieve a smooth transition of the blocks from the support platform to the next process.

[0045] Preferably, the platform of the block support 5 is provided with support platforms 10, and several support platforms 10 are distributed along the block support 5 to form a stable block support structure. The support platforms 10 are circular rectangles, providing sufficient and balanced support for the blocks placed on them. Opposite support platforms 10 are parallel to each other, and adjacent support platforms 10 are perpendicular to each other. The parallel and perpendicular distribution of support platforms 10 provides a clear reference and positioning benchmark for block assembly. When assembling blocks, the robot can quickly determine the placement angle and assembly sequence of the blocks based on the direction and position of the support platforms 10, effectively reducing the number of trial and error attempts during the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. In other embodiments, a visual sensor can be used to assist in detecting block assembly.

[0046] Preferably, a mounting plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the positioning base 1. An opening 11 is provided at the center of the bottom of the mounting plate 9, reducing its weight without compromising its structural strength. The edges of the mounting plate 9 have mounting holes to accommodate various standard connectors, facilitating quick and secure installation of the positioning base 1 onto a work platform or bracket. In other embodiments, pre-drilled holes can be provided on the mounting plate 9, allowing for flexible adjustment according to different installation environments and needs, enhancing the robot's adaptability. Furthermore, the mounting plate 9 can be positioned on the block support platform 5, with its height exceeding that of the block support platform 5. This increases the vertical movement space of the lifting suction head 4, enabling the robot to handle larger or more diverse block products, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the puzzle-solving process.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
