Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics handling technology, specifically a flexible handling device for logistics robots. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, manufacturing and other fields, logistics and handling scenarios are becoming increasingly complex, and goods are characterized by multiple categories, specifications and fragility.

[0003] When a logistics robot encounters a turn, a start / stop, or a bumpy road, goods are prone to slipping due to inertia. This risk is especially high for irregularly shaped or smooth-surfaced goods, which can not only damage the goods but also obstruct the robot's path, affecting overall logistics efficiency. Existing technologies use baffles to block these baffles, but if the baffles cannot be opened or closed, their flexibility and adaptability will be significantly limited. Therefore, we propose a flexible handling device for logistics robots. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible handling device for logistics robots to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible handling device for a logistics robot, comprising a base, a hub disposed at the bottom of the base, a robot body disposed at the top of the base, and a receiving plate disposed at the bottom of the robot body, and further comprising:

[0006] The protective assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top of the receiving plate, and a baffle is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating shaft. Four baffles are provided, and the four baffles are respectively located around the top of the receiving plate.

[0007] An adjustment assembly includes a connecting rope connected to a baffle, a fixed shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of a receiving plate, a gear sleeved on the fixed shaft, a turntable connected to the side of the fixed shaft near the bottom, and the side of the connecting rope away from the baffle connected to the turntable.

[0008] Furthermore, a drive assembly is provided on the bottom side of the receiving plate near the gear. The drive assembly includes an electric push rod connected to the bottom of the receiving plate. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to a rack, which meshes with the gear.

[0009] The above technical solution involves setting up a drive component as the power source for gear rotation, which in turn drives the adjustment component to work.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting component is provided on the bottom side of the receiving plate near the rack. The limiting component includes a limiting groove formed on the bottom of the receiving plate, and a limiting block is slidably connected to the limiting groove. The limiting block is connected to the rack.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a limiting component, the trajectory of the rack during the movement is limited.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving plate is provided with a reset assembly, which includes an extension plate connected to the receiving plate, and a spring piece is connected between the extension plate and the baffle.

[0013] The above technical solution is adopted as follows: by setting a reset component, when it is necessary to close the baffle, the gear is reversed, and then the baffle automatically rebounds due to the elastic force of the spring.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is provided with a lifting assembly, which includes a slide rail, a lead screw rotatably connected inside the slide rail, a sliding block threaded onto the lead screw, a bracket connected to the sliding block, and a receiving plate connected to the top of the bracket.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the platform can be precisely aligned with the target location by setting up lifting components, avoiding collisions or slippage of goods due to height differences during transfer.

[0016] Furthermore, a housing is provided on the top of the slide rail, and a motor is installed inside the housing. The lead screw is connected to the output end of the motor.

[0017] The above technical solution involves setting up a motor as the power source for the rotation of the lead screw, which drives the receiving plate to rise and fall.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] In this invention, by setting up protective and adjusting components, the opening and closing range can be dynamically adjusted according to the size of the goods. When handling extra-wide goods, it can be fully opened to avoid collisions, and when handling narrow goods, it can be moderately closed to form a stable protection. It is compatible with goods of various specifications and solves the problem that when logistics robots encounter turns, starts and stops, or ground bumps, goods are prone to slipping due to inertia. This is especially true for goods with irregular shapes or smooth surfaces, which pose a higher risk of slipping. This not only causes damage to the goods but may also obstruct the robot's path and affect the overall logistics efficiency. Existing technologies use baffles to block the movement. However, if the baffles cannot be opened and closed, the flexibility and adaptability will be significantly limited. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a flexible handling device for a logistics robot, including a base 1, a hub 11 disposed at the bottom of the base 1, a robot body 3 disposed at the top of the base 1, and a receiving plate 4 disposed at the bottom of the robot body 3, and further including:

[0037] Protective component 5 includes a rotating shaft 52 rotatably connected to the top of the receiving plate 4. A baffle 51 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating shaft 52. Four baffles 51 are provided, and the four baffles 51 are respectively located around the top of the receiving plate 4.

[0038] Adjustment component 6 includes a connecting rope 61 connected to the baffle 51, a fixed shaft 63 rotatably connected to the bottom of the receiving plate 4, a gear 64 sleeved on the fixed shaft 63, a turntable 62 connected to the side of the fixed shaft 63 near the bottom, and the side of the connecting rope 61 away from the baffle 51 connected to the turntable 62.

[0039] A drive assembly 7 is provided on the bottom side of the receiving plate 4 near the gear 64. The drive assembly 7 includes an electric push rod 71 connected to the bottom of the receiving plate 4. The output end of the electric push rod 71 is connected to a rack 72, and the rack 72 meshes with the gear 64.

[0040] Specifically, before the robot clamps the goods onto the receiving plate 4, the electric push rod 71 is activated to drive the rack 72 to move. The rack 72 drives the gear 64 to rotate, the gear 64 drives the fixed shaft 63 to rotate, the fixed shaft 63 drives the turntable 62 to rotate, the turntable 62 drives the connecting rope 61 to rotate, and the connecting rope 61 drives the baffle 51 to rotate and open through the rotating shaft 52. After the goods are placed in, the baffle is reset.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown: A reset component 2 is provided on the receiving plate 4. The reset component 2 includes an extension plate 21 connected to the receiving plate 4. A spring piece 22 is connected between the extension plate 21 and the baffle 51. When the electric push rod 71 drives the rack 72 to move in the opposite direction, the gear 64 reverses, so that the baffle 51 automatically springs back to its original position through the elastic force of the spring piece 22 after contraction to limit the goods.

[0042] The above solution also requires that the rack 72 limit its movement trajectory during operation, such as... Figure 4 As shown: A limiting component 8 is provided on the bottom side of the receiving plate 4 near the rack 72. The limiting component 8 includes a limiting groove 81 opened at the bottom of the receiving plate 4. A limiting block 82 is slidably connected on the limiting groove 81. The limiting block 82 is connected to the rack 72. During the movement of the rack 72, it will synchronously drive the limiting block 82 to slide in the limiting groove 81, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the rack 72.

[0043] The above solution also requires that the height of the receiving plate 4 be adapted to the docking target positions of different heights, such as... Figure 2As shown: A lifting assembly 9 is provided on the base 1. The lifting assembly 9 includes a slide rail 91. A lead screw 92 is rotatably connected inside the slide rail 91. A sliding block 94 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 92. A bracket 10 is connected to the sliding block 94. A receiving plate 4 is connected to the top of the bracket 10. A housing 93 is provided on the top of the slide rail 91. A motor is provided inside the housing 93. The lead screw 92 is connected to the output end of the motor. When the motor is turned on, the lead screw 92 rotates inside the slide rail 91. The lead screw 92 drives the sliding block 94 to slide inside the slide rail 91. The sliding block 94 drives the bracket 10 and the top receiving plate 4 to move.

[0044] The working principle provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown: First, the motor is turned on, driving the lead screw 92 to rotate within the slide rail 91. The lead screw 92 drives the sliding block 94 to slide within the slide rail 91. The sliding block 94 drives the bracket 10 and the top receiving plate 4 to move, aligning the receiving plate 4 with the docking target. Then, the electric push rod 71 is turned on, driving the rack 72 to move. During the movement, the rack 72 simultaneously drives the limiting block 82 to slide within the limiting groove 81, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the rack 72. The rack 72 drives the gear 64 to rotate, the gear 64 drives the fixed shaft 63 to rotate, the fixed shaft 63 drives the turntable 62 to rotate, the turntable 62 drives the connecting rope 61 to rotate, and the connecting rope 61 drives the baffle 51 to rotate and open via the rotating shaft 52. When the robot clamps the goods onto the receiving plate 4, when the electric push rod 71 is turned on, driving the rack 72 to move in the opposite direction, the gear 64 reverses, so the baffle 51 automatically springs back to its original position by the elastic force of the retracted spring piece 22, limiting the goods.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
