Its beneficial effects are: through the mutual cooperation between the structures, the objects on the robot pallet are assisted in limiting and fixing, preventing the objects from falling when the robot shakes, and at the same time, it enhances the connection between the pallets, which has an auxiliary stabilizing effect on the box-type multi-layer picking robot.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned solutions and existing technologies still have some shortcomings in the design of the connection structure of some box picking robots. As for the commonly used connection methods, one is to weld the adapter on the crossbeam, which is complicated in processing. Another is to open the hole on the side of the crossbeam and use hooks to connect the crossbeams. This method may damage the load-bearing surface of the crossbeam, so it can be improved and optimized.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a connection structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] Its features include a support component, a snap-fit component, and a suction cup component, wherein the support component is mounted on a column, the snap-fit component is mounted on the support component, and the suction cup component is mounted on a base.
[0008] Preferably, the crossbeam end of the support assembly is provided with a snap-fit member, which is adapted to snap-fit onto the column, and a second snap-fit member is slidably snap-fitted onto the crossbeam.

[0013] A connection structure and a box-type picking robot, including the aforementioned connection structure.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting horizontal and diagonal braces on the side of the column and connecting the lower side to the foot, and combining them with support components, snap-fit components and suction cup components, a stable connection system is constructed. In the support component, the crossbeam is connected to the column through snap-fit components, and there is a second snap-fit component with sliding snap-fit and a comb-shaped bracket at the end, which is flexible and practical. The crossbeam of the snap-fit component is fitted and snap-fitted with the snap-fit groove of the crossbeam by the interlocking piece, which is reliable. The suction cup of the suction cup component combines the telescopic rod and the spring to enhance the overall stability.

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.
