Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling robot technology, and in particular to an adjustable support mechanism for an industrial handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) robots are devices capable of automatically moving along predetermined paths, primarily used for material handling and transportation. Through built-in navigation, sensors, and control systems, they achieve autonomous navigation and precise positioning, enabling them to complete cargo handling tasks in complex environments.

[0003] Because the shelving areas are different, when the handling robot transports the items to the shelving, in order to facilitate the robotic arm's gripping and placement of the goods, the robot's orientation needs to be adjusted in some areas. This means that the robot's support platform needs to be set to be rotatable and adjustable. However, during the rotation of the square support platform, its edges will exceed the preset boundary. If there is insufficient space, the edge of the support platform and the placed goods are prone to collision with the shelving. Therefore, the handling robot needs to have an automatic adjustment function to change the position of the support platform during use, providing sufficient space for adjustment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an adjustable support mechanism for industrial handling robots.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable support mechanism for an industrial handling robot includes a housing, a drive motor, and a support mechanism. The drive motor is installed inside the housing, and the support mechanism is located on the top of the housing. The support mechanism includes a mounting frame, a support base, an electric telescopic rod, a sliding seat, a motor, a support platform, a fixing ring, ball bearings, a guide seat, an auxiliary support frame, a locking seat, and support balls. The mounting frame is locked onto the top of the housing, the support base is fixedly located on the inner side of the top of the mounting frame, the electric telescopic rod is fixed to one side of the support base, the sliding seat is located at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, the motor is fixedly located at the bottom of the sliding seat, the support platform is fixed to the output end of the motor, the fixing ring is fixedly located at the bottom of the support platform, the ball bearings are locked inside the fixing ring, the guide seat is fixedly located on the inner side of the top of the mounting frame, the auxiliary support frame is fixed to one end of the mounting frame, the locking seat is fixedly located on the inner side of the top of the auxiliary support frame, and the support balls are locked inside the locking seat.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the auxiliary support frame is provided with a locking hole that mates with the support bead. After the electric telescopic rod extends, the top of the support bead contacts the bottom of the support platform.

[0008] Even after the position of the support platform is adjusted, the auxiliary support frame can still provide effective support for the bottom of the support platform.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the ball penetrates and extends to the outer side of the bottom of the fixing ring, and the bottom of the ball contacts the outer shell and the upper surface of the mounting bracket;

[0010] The retaining ring needs to be installed facing forward to ensure that the bottom retaining ring will not interfere with the support ball after the electric telescopic rod controls the support platform to move backward. The ball ball provides support and facilitates rotational adjustment.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support plate is provided at the bottom of the support base, and the bottom support plate of the support base is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the outer shell;

[0012] The support plate at the bottom of the support base facilitates the fixing of the support base to the bottom of the outer shell.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sliding seat is fitted inside one side of the guide seat on both sides, and the guide seat has a groove on the inner side that cooperates with the sliding seat.

[0014] The sliding seat mainly guides and limits the guide seat, and also provides some support.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the mounting bracket is provided with an oblong-shaped locking hole that mates with the motor output end, and the motor output end passes through the sliding seat and extends to the outer side of the top of the mounting bracket.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] The adjustable support platform of this industrial handling robot can automatically adjust the platform according to the shelf position. By controlling the rotation of the platform, the goods are aligned with the shelf position, which facilitates the robot arm's gripping work. In cases where the rotation space is insufficient and the platform is prone to collision with the shelf during rotation, the platform can be controlled to retract and rotate, thereby ensuring safety and stability during the adjustment process.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 An adjustable support mechanism for an industrial handling robot, as shown, includes a housing 1, a drive motor 2, and a support mechanism 3. The drive motor 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and the support mechanism 3 is located on the top of the housing 1. The support mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a support base 32, an electric telescopic rod 33, a sliding seat 34, a motor 35, a support platform 36, a fixing ring 37, a ball bearing 38, a guide seat 39, an auxiliary support frame 310, a locking seat 311, and a support ball 312. The mounting frame 31 is locked onto the top of the housing 1, and the support base 32 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 31. Inside, the electric telescopic rod 33 is fixed to one side of the support base 32, the sliding seat 34 is set at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 33, the motor 35 is fixedly set at the bottom of the sliding seat 34, the support platform 36 is fixed to the output end of the motor 35, the fixing ring 37 is fixedly set at the bottom of the support platform 36, the ball bearing 38 is locked in the fixing ring 37, the guide seat 39 is fixedly set on the top inner side of the mounting frame 31, the auxiliary support frame 310 is fixed to one end of the mounting frame 31, the card holder 311 is fixedly set on the top inner side of the auxiliary support frame 310, and the support ball 312 is locked in the card holder 311.

[0024] Specifically, the auxiliary support frame 310 has a locking hole on its surface that mates with the support ball 312. After the electric telescopic rod 33 extends out, the top of the support ball 312 contacts the bottom of the support platform 36. The bottom end of the ball 38 passes through and extends to the outer side of the bottom of the fixing ring 37. The bottom of the ball 38 contacts the upper surface of the outer shell 1 and the mounting frame 31. The bottom of the support seat 32 is provided with a support plate. The bottom support plate of the support seat 32 is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the outer shell 1. The two sides of the sliding seat 34 are locked inside one side of the guide seat 39. The inner side of the guide seat 39 has a sliding groove that mates with the sliding seat 34. The top of the mounting frame 31 has an oblong locking hole that mates with the output end of the motor 35. The output end of the motor 35 passes through the sliding seat 34 and extends to the outer side of the top of the mounting frame 31.

[0025] Typically, handling robots are driven by a drive motor 2 to move the entire vehicle and controlled by multiple sensors to track their movement. Their goods stacking platform is fixed. In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 3 is an adjustable structure. The mounting frame 31 is fixed to the inner bottom of the outer shell 1 by a support base 32. After the entire handling robot transports the goods on the surface of the support platform 36 to the front of the shelf, in order to facilitate the robotic arm to grab and store the goods, in some cases the support platform 36 needs to be turned. During the turning process, the edge of the support platform 36 will exceed the boundary of the entire handling robot, which will cause the support platform 36 and the goods placed on top of it to collide with the shelf. At this time, the support platform 36 needs to be moved backward a certain distance before rotation adjustment.

[0026] Furthermore, the electric telescopic rod 33 pushes forward, causing the sliding seat 34 to slide backward a certain distance under the guidance of the guide seat 39. The guide seat 39 plays an auxiliary support role. The backward movement of the sliding seat 34 drives the support platform 36 mounted on the top of the motor 35 to move backward. The bottom of the support platform 36 is equipped with ball bearings 38 through the fixing ring 37. The bottom of the ball bearings 38 contacts the upper surface of the mounting frame 31, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the support platform 36 and provides support. After the support platform 36 moves backward, its edge is supported by the support ball bearings 312 mounted on the bottom of the auxiliary support frame 310 through the card seat 311, which prevents the support platform 36 from tipping over due to lack of necessary support at one end. Then, the motor 35 controls the rotation of the support platform 36 to adjust the direction of the support platform 36. After the adjustment is completed, the electric telescopic rod 33 retracts, so that the support platform 36 returns to its original position, making it easier for the robot to grab the goods.
