Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bush litter removal technology, and more particularly to a bush litter removal device and robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, garbage cleaning in garden and green areas, especially inside shrubbery and flower beds, mostly relies on manual labor. This method is not only inefficient, but also makes it difficult for cleaners to reach deep waste in some dense or tall shrubs, leading to garbage accumulation, which affects the aesthetics and damages the ecological environment.

[0003] The common practice is for cleaners to use handheld tools (such as clips or simple nets) to reach between plants to pick up debris. There are also cases where small power tools are used to help improve the cleaning speed. While the former can better protect vegetation from damage, it limits work efficiency. While the latter can improve cleaning efficiency to some extent, it is easy to damage the branches and leaves of shrubs and even their roots.

[0004] Therefore, both manual and simple mechanized methods have problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and potential environmental damage, which are particularly evident in places with complex terrain or limited space.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a bush litter cleaning device and robot. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application proposes a shrub litter cleaning device and robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art; it can achieve efficient litter cleaning in complex environments such as shrubs and flower beds, improve cleaning efficiency, reduce damage to vegetation, provide strong support for the maintenance of urban green areas, and is a litter cleaning mechanical device that does not damage vegetation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A bush litter cleaning device and robot includes a robot and a robotic arm. The robotic arm includes an arm body and an end effector. The arm body is composed of multiple arm segments, each segment including a first rod, a first motor, a second rod, a second motor, a third rod, a third motor, a fourth rod, and a fourth motor. The end effector includes a gripping mechanism and a suction mechanism. The robot has multiple electric pulleys at its bottom.

[0009] In one preferred embodiment, the robot is internally rotatably connected to a first rod, and externally fixedly connected to a first motor, with the output end of the first motor extending into the first rod and fixedly connected to it.

[0010] By activating the first motor, the first motor drives the first rod to rotate inside the robot, and the angle and length can be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a second rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the first rod, a second motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the first rod, and the output end of the second motor extends into the inside of the second rod and is fixedly connected to the second rod.

[0012] By activating the second motor, the second rod rotates within the first rod, allowing the angle and length to be adjusted according to the target position, thus improving the device's practicality.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a third rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the second rod, and a third motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the second rod, with the output end of the third motor extending into the inside of the third rod and fixedly connected to the third rod.

[0014] By activating the third motor, the third rod rotates within the second rod, allowing the angle and length to be adjusted according to the target position, thus improving the device's practicality.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a fourth rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the third rod, and a fourth motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the third rod, with the output end of the fourth motor extending into the inside of the fourth rod and fixedly connected to it.

[0016] By activating the fourth motor, the fourth motor drives the fourth rod to rotate within the third rod, allowing the angle and length to be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fourth rod, and a clamping mechanism is installed at the bottom of the fixing plate. The clamping mechanism includes two clamping members, both of which are disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0018] By using a high-elasticity shape memory alloy to create a finger-like structure for the gripping mechanism, it can flexibly adapt to changes in the size of the object being gripped, thereby improving the device's practicality.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, an adsorption mechanism is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate and on one side of the clamping mechanism. The adsorption mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod, a suction cup body, a suction hole, a buffer pad, and a suction cup pad. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod extends to the bottom of the fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the suction cup body.

[0020] By incorporating an adsorption mechanism based on negative pressure to fix the surface of objects, this device is particularly suitable for handling paper and film packaging waste. Compressed air is input into the suction cup body, creating a special directional flow within the body. This creates a backflow between the suction cup body and the waste object, with high-speed gas generating negative pressure. Suction cup pads maintain a certain distance between the suction cup body and the waste object, ensuring air circulation and allowing for gentler gripping of the waste. The suction cup body is made of aluminum alloy, which is wear-resistant and rust-proof, resulting in stronger and more stable adsorption capacity, thus enhancing the device's practicality.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0032] The robot 1 is internally connected to a first rod 2111, and externally connected to a first motor 2112. The output end of the first motor 2112 extends into the first rod 2111 and is fixedly connected to it. By activating the first motor 2112, the first motor 2112 drives the first rod 2111 to rotate within the robot 1. The angle and length can be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] The first rod 2111 is rotatably connected to the second rod 2113, and the first rod 2111 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first rod 2111. The output end of the second motor 2114 extends into the second rod 2113 and is fixedly connected to the second rod 2113. By starting the second motor 2114, the second motor 2114 drives the second rod 2113 to rotate within the first rod 2111. The angle and length can be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] The second rod 2113 is rotatably connected to the third rod 2115, and the second rod 2113 is fixedly connected to the outside of the third motor 2116.

By starting the third motor 2116, the third motor 2116 drives the third rod 2115 to rotate within the second rod 2113. The angle and length can be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0035] The third rod 2115 is rotatably connected to the fourth rod 2117, and the third rod 2115 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fourth motor 2118.

By starting the fourth motor 2118, the fourth motor 2118 drives the fourth rod 2117 to rotate within the third rod 2115. The angle and length can be adjusted according to the target position, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0036] The bottom end of the fourth rod 2117 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 3. A clamping mechanism 4 is installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 3. The clamping mechanism 4 includes two clamping parts 41, both of which are located at the bottom of the fixing plate 3. The clamping mechanism 4 is made of a finger-like structure using a high-elasticity memory alloy, which can flexibly adapt to changes in the size of the object being grasped, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0037] An adsorption mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 3 and on one side of the clamping mechanism 4. The adsorption mechanism 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 51, a suction cup body 52, a suction hole 521, a buffer pad 522, and a suction cup pad 523. The electric telescopic rod 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 3, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51 extends to the bottom of the fixed plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the suction cup body 52. ​​By setting up the adsorption mechanism 5, the adsorption mechanism 5 fixes the surface of the object based on the principle of negative pressure, which is especially suitable for dealing with paper and film packaging waste. The suction cup body 52 is fed with compressed air, which forms a special direction inside the suction cup body 52. ​​A backflow is formed between the suction cup body 52 and the waste object. The high-speed gas forms a negative pressure between the suction cup body 52 and the waste object.

[0040] The main body 21 of the arm is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring sufficient rigidity while reducing overall weight. The rotating joint is equipped with a motor drive and is controlled wirelessly. The gripping mechanism 4 is made of high-elasticity memory alloy in a finger-like structure, which can flexibly adapt to changes in the size of the object being gripped. The suction mechanism 5 is based on the principle of negative pressure to fix the surface of the object, which is especially suitable for dealing with paper and film packaging waste. The suction cup body 52 is formed by inputting compressed air, which creates a special directional flow inside the suction cup body 52. ​​A backflow is formed between the suction cup body 52 and the waste object. The high-speed gas creates negative pressure between the suction cup body 52 and the waste object. The suction cup pad 523 keeps a certain distance between the suction cup body 52 and the waste object to ensure air circulation, thereby making it easier to grip the waste object. The large-area buffer pad 522 provides effective cushioning, even force distribution, and reduces the possibility of damage to the waste object during the suction action. The buffer pad 522 can be made of flat sponge or flat silicone. The suction cup body 52 is made of aluminum alloy, which is wear-resistant and rust-proof, and has a stronger and higher suction capacity and more stable suction performance.
