Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cargo inventory devices and equipment, specifically to an intelligent visual inventory robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of society and economy, people have begun to pursue a safe and convenient working and living environment. As a result, intelligent devices have developed rapidly. As a type of intelligent device, intelligent robots have gradually entered people's work and life. Intelligent robots have sensing and execution mechanisms and can process sensor information and achieve control and operation capabilities.

[0003] Warehouse goods need to be inventoried regularly. In the existing design, a retractable column is used to move the camera used to collect inventory information up and down to facilitate inventory counting. However, the shelves are mostly set up side by side, which means that the robot has to walk back and forth once to complete the inventory counting of the goods on two side by side. This results in the robot consuming power quickly and the inventory counting efficiency needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent visual inventory robot that solves the problem that the robot has to walk back and forth once to complete the inventory of goods on two side-by-side shelves, resulting in rapid power consumption and the need to improve inventory efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent visual inventory robot includes a chassis with two symmetrically arranged drive wheels at the lower end of the chassis and driven wheels on both sides of each drive wheel. A control console is mounted on the chassis, and a tilted touchscreen display is mounted on the top of the console. A lidar device is located on the front of the console, and two symmetrically arranged mirror columns are located on the rear of the console. Each mirror column has a groove at its top and an electric push rod at its bottom. A sliding rod is connected to the top of each electric push rod. Multiple camera modules are arranged equidistantly in a vertical sequence at their respective ends on both sliding rods and mirror columns. Each mirror column has a vertically arranged opening on its respective side that communicates with the groove, and the opening width of the opening is greater than the width of each camera module. A controller is built into the console, and the camera modules, electric push rods, lidar device, and touchscreen display are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the camera module includes a mounting block connected to the sliding rod, and the mounting block is provided with two depth high-definition cameras arranged vertically at intervals.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the mounting block is provided in three places on both the sliding rod and the mirror column.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the chassis has two motors at its lower end, which are used to drive the two drive wheels to rotate respectively.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The electric push rod facilitates the up-and-down movement of the sliding rod, which in turn allows for the adjustment of the camera module mounted on the sliding rod to identify and inventory the shelves. Simultaneously, camera modules are also installed on the mirror columns to facilitate inventory counting of lower shelves. Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged mirror columns on the chassis allow for simultaneous inventory counting of two side-by-side shelves during operation, improving inventory efficiency and shortening the working path of the entire device in performing the inventory task.

The chassis 1 is provided with a control console 4. The top of the control console 4 is provided with an inclined touch screen display 5. The front side of the control console 4 is provided with a laser radar device 6. The rear side of the control console 4 is provided with two symmetrically arranged mirror columns 7. The top of the mirror columns 7 is provided with a sliding groove 8, and the bottom of the sliding groove 8 is provided with an electric push rod 9. The top of the electric push rod 9 is connected to a sliding rod 10. The two sliding rods 10 and the two mirror columns 7 are provided with multiple camera modules that are equidistantly distributed vertically at their respective ends. The two mirror columns 7 are provided with vertical openings 11 that communicate with the sliding grooves 8 on their respective ends, and the opening width of the openings 11 is greater than the width of the camera modules. The control console 4 has a built-in controller, and the camera modules, electric push rods 9, laser radar device 6 and touch screen display 5 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] In this invention, the electric push rod 9 facilitates the up-and-down movement of the sliding rod 10, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the camera module mounted on the sliding rod 10 for shelf identification and inventory. Simultaneously, a camera module is also mounted on the mirror column 7 to facilitate inventory of lower shelves. Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged mirror columns 7 are provided on the chassis 1, enabling simultaneous inventory of two side-by-side shelves during operation.
