Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cargo transportation, and in particular to a balanced transportation robot. Background Technology
[0002] Cargo transportation refers to the relocation of goods. In indoor transportation scenarios, the use of balancing transport robots can achieve efficient cargo delivery. Essentially, balancing transport robots are a type of highly intelligent autonomous mobile device that can autonomously plan routes and accurately execute cargo transportation tasks with advanced navigation and control technologies, greatly improving the automation level and operational efficiency of indoor cargo transportation.
[0003] In cargo transportation scenarios using balancing robots, traditional equipment typically employs fixed-size placement platforms. When transporting large goods, the cargo's dimensions exceed the platform's boundaries, causing a shift in the center of gravity and resulting in significant swaying during transport. This drastically reduces the cargo's stability on the platform. To address this issue, operators usually employ two auxiliary measures: securing the cargo to the platform with ropes or similar binding tools, or adding auxiliary support devices such as planks to the platform. However, rope binding, for example, only provides a physical connection between the cargo and the platform, preventing slippage but failing to fundamentally improve the stability issue caused by the shifted center of gravity. Furthermore, finding auxiliary support devices that perfectly match the dimensions of the platform and the cargo is challenging. If the auxiliary device is too large, its flexibility is compromised; if it is too small, it fails to provide effective support for the cargo. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.
[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a balanced transport robot that can adjust the contact area of the placement plate according to the size of the goods, so as to achieve stable support for the goods, ensure safety and stability during transportation, and minimize the impact on the movement flexibility of the balanced transport robot.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this utility model proposes a balanced transport robot, comprising: a transport robot, a placement plate, multiple wheels, and two sets of extension mechanisms, wherein the placement plate is connected to the transport robot; the two sets of extension mechanisms are respectively disposed on the two side walls of the placement plate; the multiple wheels are respectively disposed on the bottom of the transport robot and the bottom of the placement plate; each set of extension mechanisms includes two driving members, two extension columns, and a baffle, wherein the side wall of the placement plate has two storage slots; the two driving members are respectively disposed in the corresponding storage slots; the two extension columns are respectively connected to the output shaft of the corresponding driving member, and the baffles are respectively connected to the other end of the two extension columns.
[0007] In addition, the industrial gateway proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:
[0008] Specifically, the bottom wall of the transport robot is equipped with a cleaning component, which includes a storage basket, a storage drawer, a mounting frame, three suction fans, a conveying pipe, and a vacuuming pipe. The storage basket is mounted on the bottom wall of the transport robot; the storage drawer is slidably connected to the storage basket; the mounting frame is located inside the storage basket; the three suction fans are respectively located inside the mounting frames; the side wall of the storage drawer has multiple input holes; the vacuuming pipe is connected to the inner wall of the input holes; the side wall of the storage drawer has multiple suction frames; and the side walls of the storage basket and the storage drawer each have air outlets.
[0009] Specifically, a dustproof mesh is installed inside the suction frame.
[0010] Specifically, rubber pads are provided on the placement board.
[0011] Specifically, the bottom wall of the transport robot is equipped with a support frame, and the delivery pipe is installed on the support frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the telescopic column housed inside the placement plate can be driven by the drive device, thereby adjusting the area of the placement plate according to the bottom size of the goods, thus achieving stable support for the goods, ensuring safety and stability during transportation, and minimizing the impact on the movement flexibility of the balance transport robot.
[0013] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0020] The following describes an embodiment of the balanced transport robot of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the balanced transport robot of this utility model embodiment includes: a transport robot 1, a placement plate 2, multiple wheels 3, and two sets of extension mechanisms 4.
[0022] The placement plate 2 is connected to the transport robot 1, two sets of extension mechanisms 4 are respectively set on the two side walls of the placement plate 2, and multiple wheels 3 are respectively set on the bottom of the transport robot 1 and the bottom of the placement plate 2.
[0023] Each extension mechanism 4 includes two drive elements 42, two extension columns 43, and a baffle 44.
[0024] The side wall of the placement plate 2 has two storage slots 41, two driving components 42 are respectively set in the corresponding storage slots 41, two extension columns 43 are respectively connected to the output shaft of the corresponding driving component 42, and baffles 44 are respectively connected to the other end of the two extension columns 43.
[0025] It should be noted that the driving component 42 described in this embodiment can be an electric actuator. The length of the extension column 43 plus the fully retracted size of the driving component 42 is the same as the depth of the receiving groove 41. For example, if the depth of the receiving groove 41 is 1 meter, then the length of the extension column 43 is 0.8 meters, and the fully retracted length of the driving component 42 is 0.2 meters. This ensures that the extension column 43 is completely retracted into the receiving groove 41 without needing to extend. The fully extended length of the output shaft of the driving component 42 does not exceed 0.7 meters, thus ensuring that a portion of the extension column 43 remains within the receiving groove 41 after it is fully extended, thereby ensuring that the receiving groove 41 can limit its movement.
[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to expand the area of the placement plate 2 to facilitate the transportation of goods with a large bottom surface area, the staff can use an external control device to activate the drive component 42. At this time, the drive component 42 will push the extension column 43 to move out of the storage groove 41 along the inner wall of the storage groove 41, thereby expanding the area of the placement plate 2. This allows the area of the placement plate to be adjusted according to the bottom surface size of the goods, thereby achieving stable support for the goods and ensuring safety and stability during transportation.
[0027] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall of the transport robot 1 is equipped with a cleaning component 5.
[0028] The cleaning component 5 includes a storage basket 51, a storage drawer 52, a mounting frame 53, three suction fans 54, a delivery pipe 56, and a vacuuming pipe 57.
[0029] The storage basket 51 is mounted on the bottom wall of the transport robot 1. The storage drawer 52 is slidably connected to the storage basket 51. The mounting frame 53 is located inside the storage basket 51. Three suction fans 54 are respectively located inside the mounting frame 53. The side wall of the storage drawer 52 has multiple input holes 55. The suction pipe 57 is connected to the inner wall of the input holes 55. The side wall of the storage drawer 52 has multiple suction frames 58. The side walls of the storage basket 51 and the side walls of the storage drawer 52 have air outlet holes 59 respectively.
[0030] It should be noted that when the storage drawer 52 described in this embodiment is completely housed inside the storage basket 51, the output end of the conveying pipe 56 coincides with the input hole 55, allowing the sucked-in dust to enter the storage drawer 52 through the input hole 55. When the transport robot 1 is in a horizontal position, the distance between the bottom wall of the described suction pipe 57 and the ground does not exceed 3 centimeters, thus ensuring that some larger impurities are pushed away.
[0031] Specifically, when the transport robot 1 is transporting goods, the staff can turn on the suction fan 54 inside the mounting frame 53 through the external control device. At this time, the suction fan 54 will generate suction. The suction from the suction fan 54 is transmitted into the suction pipe 57 through the suction frame 58 and the input hole 55. Then, the suction pipe 57 will suck the dust and some small debris from the ground into the delivery pipe 56, and then transport it into the storage drawer 52 through the delivery pipe 56. During the transportation process, dust and impurities can be cleaned, thereby preventing the transport robot 1 from tilting due to crushing foreign objects during the movement, which would cause the goods on the placement plate 2 to fall off and be damaged. When encountering some large objects, the suction pipe 57 will push them away, thereby preventing the transport robot 1 from tilting due to crushing foreign objects during the movement, which would cause the goods on the placement plate 2 to fall off and be damaged.
[0032] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, a dustproof net 6 is installed inside the suction frame 58.
[0033] It is understandable that the dustproof mesh 6 installed inside the suction frame 58 can prevent larger impurities from passing through the suction frame 58 and causing damage to it.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rubber pad 7 is provided on the placement plate 2.
[0035] It is understandable that by setting the rubber pad 7 on the placement plate 2, the friction between the goods and the placement plate 2 can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the goods on the rubber pad 7.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom wall of the transport robot 1 is provided with a support frame 8, and the conveying pipe 56 is installed on the support frame 8.
[0037] It is understandable that the support frame 8 installed on the bottom wall of the transport robot 1 can provide support for the delivery pipe 56.
[0038] In summary, the telescopic columns housed inside the placement plate can be driven by a drive device, thereby adjusting the area of the placement plate according to the bottom dimensions of the goods. This achieves stable support for the goods, ensuring safety and stability during transportation, while minimizing the impact on the flexibility of the balanced transport robot's movement.
