[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the conveying mechanism proposed in this embodiment includes a mobile vehicle 1, a placement rack mechanism, a gripper mounting plate 15, and a three-axis drive mechanism.
[0025] The placement rack mechanism includes multiple storage plates 2 and scissor lifts 6 installed at both ends of the mobile vehicle 1 to drive the multiple storage plates 2 to move synchronously and at equal distances; the multiple storage plates 2 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and multiple movable holes 201 are opened side by side on the storage plates 2; multiple stops 7 are provided on the periphery of the storage plates 2, and the stops 7 are used to limit the position of the goods.
[0026] The three-axis drive mechanism is used to drive the gripper mounting plate 15 to move horizontally and lift. The three-axis drive mechanism is installed on the top of multiple scissor lifts 6. A gripping device is installed on the gripper mounting plate 15. The gripping device includes two sets of clamping components. Each set of clamping components includes a linear drive mechanism 14 and a clamping plate 16. The linear drive mechanism 14 is installed on the gripper mounting plate 15, and the clamping plate 16 is connected to the output shaft of the linear drive mechanism 14.
[0027] The three-axis drive mechanism includes a horizontal drive device and a lifting drive device. The horizontal drive device includes a rectangular frame 3, a movable frame 4, a sliding seat 8, a first drive assembly, and a second drive assembly. The rectangular frame 3 is installed on the top of multiple scissor lifts 6. First sliding holes 301 are provided on both sides of the rectangular frame 3. The two ends of the movable frame 4 are slidably installed in the first sliding holes 301 on both sides. The first drive assembly includes a third servo motor 171 and a second threaded rod 172. The second threaded rod 172 is rotatably installed in the first sliding hole 301 on one side. The movable frame 4 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 172. The third servo motor 171 is installed on the rectangular frame 3, and its output shaft is connected to the second threaded rod 172. The frame 4 has a second sliding hole 401. The second drive assembly includes a first servo motor 51 and a first threaded rod 52. The first threaded rod 52 is rotatably mounted inside the second sliding hole 401. The sliding seat 8 is slidably mounted on the movable frame 4 and threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 52. The first servo motor 51 is mounted on the movable frame 4 and its output shaft is connected to the first threaded rod 52. The sliding seat 8 is connected to the gripper mounting plate 15 through a lifting drive device. By adjusting the rotation direction of the second threaded rod 172, the movable frame 4 can be driven to move along the length direction of the second threaded rod 172. By adjusting the rotation direction of the first threaded rod 52, the sliding seat 8 can be driven to move along the length direction of the first threaded rod 52. The lifting drive device includes a second servo motor 9, a gear assembly, two drive shafts 10, four winding reels 11, and four wire ropes 12. Both drive shafts 10 are rotatably mounted on a sliding seat 8. The second servo motor 9 is mounted on the sliding seat 8, and its output shaft is connected to either drive shaft 10. The two drive shafts 10 have the same number of winding reels 11. The four wire ropes 12 are fixedly wound around the four winding reels 11, and each of the four wire ropes 12 movably passes through the sliding seat 8 and is connected to a gripper mounting plate 15. The gear assembly includes gears 132 and... Two gear rings 131 are respectively mounted on two drive shafts 10. Gear 132 is rotatably mounted on sliding seat 8. Gear 132 is meshed with both gear rings 131. The second servo motor 9 drives one drive shaft 10 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the gear assembly, the other drive shaft 10 is driven, thereby driving four winding reels 11 to rotate synchronously. By adjusting the rotation direction of the winding reels 11, the winding and unwinding of the wire rope 12 can be realized. The setting of four wire ropes 12 makes the hoisting of the clamp mounting plate 15 more stable.
[0028] Specifically, in this technical solution, the placement rack mechanism can be set up in one or more groups. The PLC controller controls the scissor lift 6 to drive multiple storage plates 2 to move synchronously, making the spacing between adjacent storage plates 2 adjustable to accommodate stacking goods of different heights. When moving boxes on the ground, the mobile vehicle 1 (either an electric transport vehicle or an AGV) moves the entire equipment to the designated position. A horizontal drive device drives the clamping device to move above the goods, and then a lifting drive device drives the clamping device closer to the goods. Initially, the spacing between the two clamping plates 16 is at its maximum value, allowing the goods to... Placed between two clamping plates 16, the two linear drive mechanisms 14 can be activated simultaneously to clamp the goods. The lifting drive mechanism moves the goods to the required stacking height, and then the horizontal drive device drives the goods to move in a plane at the corresponding height. The movable hole 201 on the shelf 2 allows the steel wire rope 12 to pass through, so that the goods can be moved smoothly to the upper placement area of the shelf 2. After the goods reach the designated placement area, the fixing of the goods is released, that is, the goods fall onto the corresponding shelf 2. Furthermore, in order to realize automated control, multiple cameras can be installed on the equipment to facilitate real-time monitoring of the working environment and unmanned operation.
[0029] It should be further added that the scissor lift 6 includes a drive mechanism and multiple sets of X-shaped frames. The multiple sets of X-shaped frames are arranged side by side and connected end to end. Each X-shaped frame consists of two rotating rods. The middle of the two rotating rods is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft. The ends of the rotating rods are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating rods on the adjacent X-shaped frames through a second rotating shaft. Slide plates are installed at both ends of the placement plate 2 and at both ends of the bottom of the rectangular frame 3. Multiple slide plates on the same side correspond one-to-one with multiple X-shaped frames on the corresponding side. Multiple second rotating shafts are movably installed in the slide grooves of the slide plates at corresponding height positions. The drive mechanism includes a fourth servo motor, a bidirectional lead screw, and two connecting sliders. Both connecting sliders are slidably installed on the moving carriage 1. The bottom ends of the lowest X-shaped frame are rotatably connected to the two connecting sliders respectively. The fourth servo motor is installed on the moving carriage 1 and connected to the bidirectional lead screw. Both slide plates are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw.
