Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, and in particular to a humanoid robot quick-change cargo box docking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the modern logistics industry, the demand for logistics automation is increasing. Humanoid robots, due to their flexibility and versatility, are gradually gaining attention in the logistics field. In scenarios such as logistics warehouses and production workshops, humanoid robots need to frequently interact with cargo boxes, such as moving goods and transporting cargo boxes between different work areas.
[0003] In traditional robot-cargo docking methods, complex tools or cumbersome procedures are often required to achieve connection and separation. For example, some docking methods may require tightening and loosening multiple bolts, which not only consumes a lot of time, but also seriously affects work efficiency in scenarios where cargo boxes are frequently changed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a humanoid robot quick-change cargo box docking mechanism.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a humanoid robot quick-change cargo box docking mechanism, comprising a mounting plate one and a mounting plate two. An outer box is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate two. A transverse spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer box. A compression ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the transverse spring. Limiting rods penetrate both sides of the surface of the compression ring. A blocking block is fixedly connected to the surface of the compression ring. A docking pin is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate one. An embedding groove is formed on the surface of the docking pin. An extension frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer box. A vertical spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension frame. A contact ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical spring. A spring pin is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the contact ring. A lifting rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the contact ring.
[0006] The above technical solution enables rapid docking and undocking between the robot and the cargo container. Through simple insertion and lifting actions, no complex tools or procedures are required, significantly saving operation time and improving work efficiency. It is particularly suitable for humanoid robot work scenarios that require frequent cargo container changes.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mating pin contacts the compression ring.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the spring pin is adapted to the embedding groove, and the spring pin is disposed inside the embedding groove.
[0009] The above technical solution effectively prevents the docking pin from accidentally coming loose during docking, ensuring a stable connection between the robot and the cargo box.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, a magnet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the embedding groove.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom end of the spring pin is in contact with the upper surface of the magnet.
[0012] The above technical solution enhances the stability of the docking process. In environments where vibrations and other interference factors may exist, the magnetic attraction prevents the spring pin from dislodging from the insertion slot due to slight vibrations, ensuring a more reliable connection between the robot and the cargo box during docking and reducing operational errors caused by loose connections.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, preset mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the surfaces of mounting plate one and mounting plate two.
[0014] The above technical solution improves the accuracy and stability of the installation, ensuring that mounting plate one and mounting plate two can be securely installed on the robot and cargo box.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the outer casing is provided with a slot adapted to the mating pin, and the upper surface of the outer casing is provided with a round hole adapted to the spring pin.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] When the docking pin is inserted into the outer casing, it directly pushes the compression ring to compress the transverse spring. The movement of the compression ring causes the surface blocking block to move, thus no longer obstructing the spring pin. Finally, the spring pin is engaged in the insertion groove of the docking pin to achieve docking. The magnet on the inner wall of the insertion groove contacts the bottom end of the spring pin to generate an adsorption force, which significantly enhances the fixing effect after docking and improves the reliability of docking. Docking and disassembly can be completed through simple insertion and lifting actions without complicated tools or procedures, which greatly saves operation time and improves work efficiency. It is suitable for humanoid robot working scenarios that require frequent changes of cargo boxes, avoiding time-consuming and laborious docking operations by personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. Example
[0025] Please combine Figure 1-4This embodiment of a humanoid robot quick-change cargo box docking mechanism includes a mounting plate 1 and a mounting plate 2. An outer housing 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of mounting plate 2. A transverse spring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer housing 3. A compression ring 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transverse spring 4. Limiting rods 6 penetrate both sides of the compression ring 5. A blocking block 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the compression ring 5. A docking pin 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of mounting plate 1. An embedding groove 9 is formed on the surface of the docking pin 8. An extension frame 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer housing 3. A vertical spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension frame 10. A contact ring 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical spring 11. A spring pin 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the contact ring 12. A lifting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the contact ring 12. First, mounting plate 1 and mounting plate 2 are respectively installed on appropriate parts of the robot and cargo box. Then, the docking pin 8 on the surface of mounting plate 1 is aligned with the inside of the outer housing 3. When the docking pin 8 enters the outer housing 3, it pushes the compression ring 5 to compress the horizontal spring 4. The movement of the compression ring 5 causes the blocking block 7 to move, no longer blocking the upper spring pin 13. When the docking pin 8 is inserted into the appropriate position, the blocking block 7 completely exposes the spring pin 13. The vertical spring 11 resets and pushes the spring pin 13 out, locking it into the embedding groove 9 on the surface of the docking pin 8, fixing the position of the docking pin 8, and realizing the docking between the robot and the cargo box. When docking is canceled, the lifting rod 14 is pulled upward. The lifting rod 14 drives the contact ring 12 and the spring pin 13 to move upward, causing the spring pin 13 to disengage from the embedding groove 9. The contact ring 12 compresses the vertical spring 11. When the spring pin 13 is completely disengaged, the docking pin 8 is no longer locked. The horizontal spring 4 resets, and the compression ring 5 and the blocking block 7 begin to reset. The docking pin 8 can be removed. When the compression ring 5 and the blocking block 7 return to their initial positions, the blocking block 7 prevents the spring pin 13 from descending, and the docking pin 8 can be removed from the outer housing 3 to cancel the docking.
[0026] The docking pin 8 contacts the compression ring 5. When the docking pin 8 is inserted into the outer housing 3, it directly contacts the compression ring 5 and pushes the compression ring 5 to move.
[0027] The spring pin 13 is adapted to the insert groove 9. The spring pin 13 is located inside the insert groove 9. The spring pin 13 is adapted to the insert groove 9, which allows the spring pin 13 to be accurately engaged in the insert groove 9 when pushed by the vertical spring 11.
[0028] A magnet 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the embedded groove 9.
[0029] The bottom end of the spring pin 13 contacts the upper surface of the magnet 15. When the spring pin 13 is inserted into the insertion groove 9, the bottom end of the spring pin 13 contacts the upper surface of the magnet 15. The magnet 15 generates an attractive force on the spring pin 13, further enhancing the fixing effect of the spring pin 13 in the insertion groove 9.
[0030] Pre-set mounting holes 16 are provided at the four corners of the surface of mounting plate 1 and mounting plate 2. These pre-set mounting holes 16 provide accurate mounting positions for mounting plate 1 and mounting plate 2 to be installed on the robot and cargo box respectively.
[0031] The outer casing 3 has a slot on its surface that matches the mating pin 8, and the upper surface of the outer casing 3 has a round hole that matches the spring pin 13.
[0032] The implementation principle of the humanoid robot quick-change cargo box docking mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the operator determines the appropriate installation positions of mounting plate 1 and mounting plate 2 on the robot and cargo box according to the structural characteristics of the robot and cargo box. The operator uses appropriate installation tools, such as bolts, to firmly install mounting plate 1 on the designated part of the robot through these preset mounting holes 16, and installs mounting plate 2 on the corresponding part of the cargo box. Then, the operator aligns the docking pin 8 on the surface of mounting plate 1 with the hole groove inside the outer box 3, and then slowly inserts it. During the insertion process, the docking pin 8 contacts the compression ring 5 inside the outer box 3. Due to the insertion force of the mating pin 8, the compression ring 5 is pushed to compress the transverse spring 4. As the compression ring 5 is compressed, the blocking block 7 fixedly connected to its surface begins to move. Because both sides of the surface of the compression ring 5 are pierced by limit rods 6, the blocking block 7 will move stably along the direction of the limit rods 6 and no longer obstruct the upper spring pin 13. When the mating pin 8 is inserted into the appropriate position, the blocking block 7 completely exposes the spring pin 13. At this time, the vertical spring 11 begins to return to its original position due to the previous compression. The return force of the vertical spring 11 pushes the contact ring 12 and the spring pin 13 connected to its lower surface to move downward. Since the spring pin 13 is adapted to the embedded groove 9, The spring pin 13 accurately engages with the groove 9 on the surface of the docking pin 8. Simultaneously, because a magnet 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 9, the bottom end of the spring pin 13 contacts the upper surface of the magnet 15. The magnet 15 exerts an attractive force on the spring pin 13, further enhancing the fixing effect of the spring pin 13 within the groove 9, thereby fixing the position of the docking pin 8 and achieving docking between the robot and the cargo box. When docking needs to be cancelled, the operator pulls the lifting rod 14 upwards. The rise of the lifting rod 14 causes the contact ring 12, fixedly connected to its upper surface, to move upwards. The movement of the contact ring 12 causes the spring pin 13, connected to its lower surface, to move upwards, causing the spring pin 13 to engage with the cargo box. 3. Gradually disengage from the insert groove 9. During this process, the contact ring 12 will compress the vertical spring 11. When the spring pin 13 is completely disengaged from the insert groove 9 on the surface of the docking pin 8, the docking pin 8 is no longer locked. At this time, the transverse spring 4 begins to reset due to the previous compression. The reset force of the transverse spring 4 pushes the compression ring 5 and the blocking block 7 to reset. When the compression ring 5 and the blocking block 7 return to their initial positions, the blocking block 7 can block the spring pin 13. At this time, the operator releases the pulling force on the lifting rod 14. The blocking block 7 then prevents the spring pin 13 from continuing to descend. The operator can then remove the docking pin 8 from the inside of the outer housing 3, thereby canceling the docking.
[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
