Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of warehousing technology, and in particular to an intelligent cargo handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, automation, and information technology, the level of intelligence in last-mile logistics is constantly improving, and intelligent warehousing is a crucial link in the logistics process. In intelligent warehousing, handling robots are the main equipment enabling automated handling operations. These robots can be equipped with different end effectors to handle workpieces of various shapes and states, greatly reducing the burden of heavy manual labor.

[0003] Most existing material handling machines are designed based on the structure of the forklift pallet to move goods on the pallet in one go. For supermarkets or shelving storage systems, forklift-based overall handling cannot accurately place goods according to their position on the shelf, and it is not convenient enough for moving a small number of goods.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: most existing handling robots mainly handle goods on forklift pallets and cannot deliver goods to shelves. They are also not convenient for handling small quantities of goods and cannot transport goods to different shelves according to their different types. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses an intelligent cargo handling robot, referring to... Figure 1-4 The system includes a mobile chassis 1, a lifting mechanism 2 on the top of the mobile chassis 1, and a set of support frames 21, a first electric slide rail 22, a first slide block 23 and a support rod 24. A set of support frames 21 is fixed on one side of the top of the mobile chassis 1, and a set of first electric slide rails 22 is fixed on one side of the support frames 21. The first slide blocks 23 are slidably mounted on the two first electric slide rails 22. The support rod 24 is fixed on the side of the first slide block 23 away from the support frame 21, so that the support rod 24 can move up and down on the first slide rail, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the support rod 24 as needed. A transport mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the first electric slide rail 22.

[0033] The conveying mechanism 3 includes a second slide 31, a second electric slide rail 32, a third electric slide rail 33, and a pneumatic suction cup 34. The top of the first slide 23 is provided with a second slide 31 that is slidably connected to the two first electric slide rails 22. Both the first slide 23 and the second slide 31 can slide on the first electric slide rails 22. The second slide 31 is provided with a second electric slide rail 32 on the side away from the first electric slide rails 22. The third electric slide rail 33 is slidably provided on the second electric slide rail 32. The bottom of the third electric slide rail 33 is slidably provided with a pneumatic suction cup 34. The pneumatic suction cup 34 can move up and down under the action of the second slide 31 and the first electric slide rail 22, move left and right under the action of the second electric slide rail 32, and move back and forth under the action of the third electric slide rail 33, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the pneumatic suction cup 34 according to the position of the box to be placed.

[0034] The top of the support frame 21 is equipped with a controller 4. Each of the two support frames 21 has a fourth electric slide rail 5 fixed inside. A third slide block 6 is located between the two fourth electric slide rails 5. A scanner 7 is fixed to one side of the third slide block 6. The third slide block 6 slides on the fourth electric slide rail 5, thereby driving the scanner 7 to scan the box placed on top, facilitating the identification of the items inside the box. The controller 4 then confirms the desired placement position of the box. A set of infrared obstacle avoidance sensors 8 is fixed to the side of the movable chassis 1 away from the support frame 21. The scanner 7 and the infrared obstacle avoidance sensors 8 are electrically connected to the controller 4. The obstacle sensor 8 can scan objects in front and transmit signals to the controller 4, which then allows the controller 4 to adjust the moving direction of the mobile chassis 1 based on the information. The first electric slide rail 22, the second electric slide rail 32, the third electric slide rail 33, the fourth electric slide rail 5, and the pneumatic suction cup 34 are all electrically connected to the controller 4. The controller 4 and the pneumatic suction cup 34 are both electrically connected to a GPS positioning system 11. The controller 4 is electrically connected to a computer 9, which facilitates the accurate positioning of the robot and comparison with the positions of the items on the computer 9, thereby accurately finding the positions of different items and facilitating the simultaneous handling of different items and finding the accurate placement.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-3 The support rod 24 is provided with protective mechanisms 10 on both sides. Each protective mechanism 10 includes a fifth electric slide rail 101, a fourth slide block 102, a fixing plate 103, and a pressure sensor 104. The support rod 24 is provided with a fifth electric slide rail 101 on both sides. The fifth electric slide rail 101 is provided with a fourth slide block 102 on top. A set of fixing plates 103 is fixed on the top of the fourth slide block 102. The fixing plate 103 is provided with a pressure sensor 104 on the side of the fixing plate 103 near the support rod 24. The pressure sensor 104 and the fifth electric slide rail 101 are electrically connected to the controller 4. The fifth electric slide rail 101 drives the fourth slide block 102 and the fixing plate 103 to move towards the support rod 24, which facilitates the fixing of the box on the support rod 24 and prevents it from falling. When the pressure sensor 104 senses pressure, it transmits a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the fifth electric slide rail 101 to stop moving.

[0036] The implementation principle of an intelligent cargo handling robot according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0037] When using the device, computer 9 is electrically connected to controller 4, sharing the positions of various items in the warehouse with controller 4. Goods to be moved are placed on support rods 24 on the mobile chassis 1. Then, controller 4 controls the fourth slide 102 on the fifth electric slide rail 101 to move, thereby bringing the fixing plate 103 closer to the support rod 24. When pressure sensor 104 approaches the stacked boxes and senses the set pressure value, it transmits a signal to controller 4. Controller 4 then controls the fifth electric slide rail 101 to stop moving. The fixing plate 103 protects and secures the objects placed on the support rod 24. The third slide 6 of scanner 7 drives scanner 7 to move on the fourth electric slide rail 5, scanning the placed boxes once and transmitting the scanned information. The data is transmitted to the controller 4, which controls the mobile chassis 1 to reach the corresponding position based on the data from the computer 9. The GPS positioning system 11 provides position positioning during movement, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the position. When the corresponding position is reached, the pneumatic suction cup 34 of the handling mechanism 3 moves on the third electric slide rail 33 and is adjusted to the appropriate position. The second slide 31 moves on the first electric slide rail 22, causing the pneumatic suction cup 34 to move downward and suck up the box. Then, the box is placed on the appropriate shelf through the first electric slide rail 22, the second electric slide rail 32 and the third electric slide rail 33. After the box is placed, the next box is placed. Different boxes can be accurately transported and placed, reducing the process of manual handling one by one and greatly improving efficiency.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, principle and application direction of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
