Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 A connection structure and a box-type picking robot include a column 1, a horizontal brace 2, and a foot 3. The horizontal brace 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the column 1, and the foot 3 is installed on the lower side of the column 1. It also includes a support component 4, a snap-fit ​​component 5, and a suction cup component 6. The support component 4 is installed on the column 1, the snap-fit ​​component 5 is installed on the support component 4, and the suction cup component 6 is installed on the foot 3.

[0022] The end of the crossbeam 401 in the support assembly 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 402, which is adapted to snap-fit ​​onto the column 1, and a second snap-fit ​​member 403 is slidably snap-fitted onto the crossbeam 401.

[0023] In use, the column 1 serves as the main supporting component, working in conjunction with the side-fixed horizontal and diagonal braces 2 to ensure the stability of the entire connection structure. The foot 3 is fixed to the ground, providing a stable foundation for the device. The crossbeam 401 in the support assembly 4 is tightly connected to the column 1 through the end snap-fit ​​402, allowing the crossbeam 401 to be reliably mounted on the column 1. The second snap-fit ​​403, which is slidably snapped onto the crossbeam 401, can be flexibly adjusted in position according to actual needs, facilitating subsequent connection with other components to adapt to different working scenarios and installation requirements. This provides a convenient and flexible support system for the overall architecture of the box-type picking robot.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figures 2 to 3 The sliding rod 404 in the support component 4 is embedded in the bottom end of the column 1 and is fixedly mounted on the foot 3. The end of the second snap-fit ​​component 403 is fixedly provided with a comb-shaped bracket 405.

[0025] The end of the crossbeam 501 in the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 is provided with a snap-fit ​​piece 502, and the top two sides of the snap-fit ​​piece 502 are provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 503.

[0026] In use, one end of the sliding rod 404 is embedded in the bottom of the column 1, and the other end is fixed to the foot 3. This structure further enhances the stability of the connection between the column 1 and the foot 3, ensuring the stability of the entire device during operation. The comb-shaped bracket 405 fixed at the end of the second snap-fit ​​component 403 can be used to hang or connect other related equipment or components, expanding the functionality of the connection structure. The crossbeam 501 in the snap-fit ​​assembly 5, with its end snap-fit ​​piece 502 and the top two sides of the slot 503, provides a specific interface form for the connection of the crossbeam 501 with other components, facilitating precise and firm connection and meeting the requirements of the box picking robot for structural connection reliability in complex working environments.

[0027] Example 3: Based on Example 2, please refer to... Figures 3 to 4 The interlocking piece 502 in the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 is adapted to snap-fit ​​onto the interlocking groove 504, and the interlocking groove 504 is evenly distributed on the crossbeam 401.

[0028] The suction cup 601 in the suction cup assembly 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the foot 3. A telescopic rod 602 is fixedly installed inside the suction cup 601, and a spring 603 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 602.

[0029] In use, the snap-fit ​​piece 502 of the snap-fit ​​component 5 precisely matches and snaps into the evenly arranged snap-fit ​​grooves 504 on the crossbeam 401, so that the crossbeam 501 and the crossbeam 401 achieve a tight and stable connection, thus building a solid frame structure. The suction cup 601 fixed at the bottom of the foot 3 can automatically adjust the suction force according to the ground conditions and work requirements with the cooperation of the telescopic rod 602 and the spring 603. When the box picking robot operates in different ground environments, the suction cup 601 can effectively enhance the friction between the device and the ground, prevent the robot from shifting or shaking during movement or work, and ensure that it completes the picking task efficiently and safely.
