Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent handling, and in particular to an intelligent handling robot. Background Technology

[0002] Warehousing is a crucial link in commodity circulation and a vital pillar of logistics activities. In recent years, with the continuous development of online shopping and online payment, the number of mobile e-merchants has increased dramatically, and my country's warehousing industry has developed rapidly.

[0003] In large warehouse environments, specialized transport vehicles are typically used for picking up and placing goods. A common type is the mother-daughter vehicle, where the mother vehicle carries the daughter vehicle along a main aisle. When it reaches the entrance of the daughter aisle, the daughter vehicle leaves the mother vehicle, travels along the aisle, and picks up and places goods. After picking up and placing goods, the daughter vehicle returns to the mother vehicle along the aisle, and the mother vehicle carries the daughter vehicle along the main aisle to continue transporting goods to a designated location or returning the empty vehicle to its original position. However, the lifespan of mother-daughter vehicles is short, and before they could be fully perfected in application, they were superseded by intelligent material handling robots.

[0004] Due to the high costs of land acquisition and use, it is essential to make rational use of limited storage space to reduce warehousing costs. However, existing transport vehicles are not only large and occupy excessive storage space, but also lack flexibility in transportation. When a main vehicle occupies a lane, other transport vehicles cannot operate on the same lane, severely impacting transportation efficiency. Currently, four-way vehicles all use three power systems, resulting in complex mechanical structures, large space requirements, high energy consumption, and difficulty in movement, consuming significant human and material resources.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an intelligent handling robot that is stable in operation, has a low failure rate, a simple and clear structure, saves a lot of internal space, and only uses two sets of power systems.

[0006] The present invention provides an intelligent handling robot, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0007] A smart handling robot is provided, comprising a body assembled from a panel (1) and four upright panels. A main guide wheel (2) and secondary guide wheels (3) are distributed on the sides of the body. An internal space houses a walking power system (4) and a lifting power system (5). The walking power system (4) has bidirectional output shafts that drive two walking gearboxes (6) on the secondary guide side and two connecting shafts (7) connecting the main guide wheel (2) via sprockets and chains (11). These shafts drive the secondary guide drive wheel (30) and the main guide drive wheel (20), respectively, enabling the robot to move in four directions. The driven wheels (31) of the sub-path and the driven wheels (21) of the mother path are not connected to the power source. The output shaft of the lifting gearbox (8) is connected to the two sides of the vehicle body by a cam mechanism (9), which makes the operation of the lifting platform (13) on the cam mechanism (9) more stable. The mother path wheels (2) are fixed on the lifting platforms (13) on both sides, so that the height of the wheels is uniform. The lifting power system (5) drives the cam mechanism (9) through the lifting gearbox (8) to lift or lower the lifting platform (13) to realize the function of picking up and putting down goods, as well as the function of reversing the movement between the mother path and the sub-path.

[0008] Furthermore, there are eight mother track wheels (2) and eight daughter track wheels (3). Four of the daughter track wheels are connected to the daughter track travel gearbox (6) and are the daughter track driving wheels (30). The other four are the daughter track driven wheels (31). Four of the mother track wheels are connected to the two connecting shafts (7) of the mother track and are the mother track driving wheels (20). The other four are the mother track driven wheels (21).

[0009] Furthermore, the surfaces of the mother wheel (2) and the daughter wheel (3) are processed with anti-slip textures.

[0010] Furthermore, the mother wheel (2) and the daughter wheel (3) are made of polyurethane material.

[0011] Furthermore, the sides of the mother wheel (2) and the daughter wheel (3) are equipped with guide bosses to prevent the wheels from deviating from the track or derailing.

[0012] Furthermore, a lifting guide block mechanism is set around the lifting platform (13).

[0013] Furthermore, the output shafts of the traveling gearbox (6) and the lifting gearbox (8) are rigidly connected to the connecting shaft (7) by a coupling (10).

[0014] Furthermore, a drag chain mechanism (12) is provided in the middle of the sprocket chain (11) during the movement to prevent the chain from scratching the panel (1).

[0015] Furthermore, the gears of the traveling gearbox (6) and the lifting gearbox (8) adopt spur gear transmission.

[0016] Furthermore, the housings of the traveling gearbox (6) and the lifting gearbox (8) are made of LY12 hard aluminum alloy; the interior of the housings is made of low-temperature resistant lubricating oil.

[0017] The implementation of this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0018] This utility model's intelligent handling robot operates more smoothly, with a lower failure rate, and is more stable in complex environments, improving the equipment's transmission efficiency. Its more rational internal layout frees up more usable space, employing only two power systems: one vertical linkage mechanism and one mother-daughter linkage mechanism. A malfunction in either system will immediately halt operation, ensuring equipment safety. The use of a spur gearbox structure simplifies the internal structure of the vehicle, significantly saving internal space, reducing its footprint, and conserving energy. The use of gear transmission solves the problem of large positioning errors in four-way vehicle configurations. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only intended to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation thereof.

[0024] See Figure 1 Only Figure 3As shown in this embodiment, an intelligent handling robot is constructed by assembling a panel 1 and four upright panels to form a vehicle body. Main guide wheels 2 and secondary guide wheels 3 are distributed on the sides of the vehicle body. The internal space of the vehicle body houses a walking power system 4 and a lifting power system 5. The walking power system 4 has bidirectional output shafts that drive two walking gearboxes 6 and two connecting shafts 7 connecting the main guide wheels 2 via sprockets and chains 11. These drive the secondary guide drive wheels 30 and the main guide drive wheels 20, enabling the robot to move in four directions. The secondary guide driven wheels 31 and the main guide driven wheels 21 are not connected to the power source. The output shaft of the lifting gearbox 8 is connected to both sides of the vehicle body via a cam mechanism 9, making the operation of the lifting platform 13 on the cam mechanism 9 more stable. The main guide wheels 2 are fixed on the lifting platforms 13 on both sides, ensuring uniform wheel height. The lifting power system 5 drives the cam mechanism 9 through the lifting gearbox 8 to raise or lower the lifting platform 13, enabling the picking and placing of goods and the reversing function between the main guide and the secondary guide. Specifically, there are eight mother track wheels 2 and eight daughter track wheels 3. Four of the daughter track wheels are connected to the daughter track walking gearbox 6 and are called daughter track drive wheels 30, while the other four are daughter track driven wheels 31. Four of the mother track wheels are connected to the two connecting shafts 7 of the mother track and are called mother track drive wheels 20, while the other four are mother track driven wheels 21. Increasing the number of drive wheels can enhance the stability and maneuverability of the equipment itself, making the robot more stable during track travel.

[0025] Furthermore, the surfaces of the main track wheel 2 and the auxiliary track wheel 3 are machined with anti-slip textures to prevent the wheels from slipping on the track. The main track wheel 2 and the auxiliary track wheel 3 are made of polyurethane material, which features low-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and a long service life. The sides of the main track wheel 2 and the auxiliary track wheel 3 have guide bosses to prevent the wheels from deviating from the track or derailing; this guide method is less likely to wear the wheels. A lifting guide block mechanism is installed around the lifting platform 13 to prevent displacement during operation. The output shafts of the traveling gearbox 6 and the lifting gearbox 8 are rigidly connected to the connecting shaft 7 using a coupling 10, providing high stability. A drag chain mechanism 12 is provided in the middle of the sprocket chain 11 during travel to prevent the chain from scraping against the panel 1. The gears of the traveling gearbox 6 and the lifting gearbox 8 use spur gear transmission, which has low power loss; spur gears can provide a stable transmission ratio during transmission, ensuring accurate power transmission; and have strong impact resistance. The housings of the walking gearbox 6 and the lifting gearbox 8 are made of LY12 hard aluminum alloy, which boasts high strength, excellent mechanical properties, and high corrosion resistance. The housings use low-temperature resistant lubricating oil, ensuring transmission efficiency even in low-temperature environments. The robot's path speed can be increased by adjusting the gear reduction ratio of the walking gearbox 6 and the diameter of the sub-path wheel 3. The gearbox structure achieves a transmission efficiency of over 95%, reducing energy loss during power transmission. The gear meshing is more precise and smooth, reducing noise and vibration and improving equipment stability. The gearbox can withstand high loads and speeds. Its compact structure facilitates installation and maintenance, and its small size saves space.

[0026] This utility model's intelligent handling robot operates more smoothly, with a lower failure rate, and is more stable in complex environments, improving the equipment's transmission efficiency. Its more rational internal layout frees up more effective space, employing only two power systems: one vertical linkage mechanism and one mother-daughter linkage mechanism. A malfunction in either system will immediately halt operation, ensuring equipment safety. The use of a spur gearbox structure simplifies the internal structure of the trolley, significantly saving internal space and reducing energy consumption. Gear transmission solves the problem of large positioning errors in four-way trolleys. The lifting function, utilizing a gearbox structure, can accurately position trolleys at different heights, making steering and retrieval in the mother-daughter tracks more agile. The mother and daughter track power systems use a new type of power system with lower motor power, contributing to energy saving, reducing power consumption, and minimizing charging frequency. The transition between the mother and daughter tracks uses a gearbox structure, which is simple in structure and provides strong front-to-back synchronous following. The lifting mother track wheel structure has been changed to a cam structure; the rotating cam drives the mother track power wheel set to move up and down, achieving the switching of the four-way trolley between the mother and daughter tracks, improving operational efficiency.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
