[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, and in particular to a material frame conveying robot. [Background Technology]

[0002] In the production of some food products, material crates are frequently used for receiving materials. For example, in tea production, after the tea leaves are packaged according to the required weight for each brew, material crates are used to receive the tea bags. Furthermore, in actual production, both filled and empty material crates need to be transported between different pieces of equipment. Currently, the transportation of material crates typically involves manually placing them onto trailers and then manually unloading them after they have been moved to the target location. However, this method of transporting material crates by trailer is inefficient and hinders automated production. In view of the aforementioned problems, the inventors of this invention conducted in-depth research on this issue, resulting in this invention. [Utility Model Content]

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a material frame conveying robot 100, which includes a walking device 1, a support frame 2, an upper conveying mechanism 3, a lower conveying mechanism 4, a material frame detection sensor 5, and a control motherboard 6.

[0039] The support frame 2 is connected to the walking device 1, enabling the support frame 2 to move together with the walking device 1. The upper conveying mechanism 3 and the lower conveying mechanism 4 are both mounted on the support frame 2, with the upper conveying mechanism 3 positioned above the lower conveying mechanism 4. A first conveying channel 71 is formed between the upper conveying mechanism 3 and the lower conveying mechanism 4, and a second conveying channel 72 is formed above the upper conveying mechanism 3. Both the first conveying channel 71 and the second conveying channel 72 are used to provide space for conveying the material frame. Material frame detection sensors 5 are mounted on the support frame 2 at positions corresponding to the first conveying channel 71 and the second conveying channel 72.

[0040] This utility model designs a material frame conveying robot 100, comprising an upper conveying mechanism 3 and a lower conveying mechanism 4. Both the upper and lower conveying mechanisms 3 and 4 are connected to a walking device 1 via a support frame 2. A first conveying channel 71 is formed between the upper and lower conveying mechanisms 3 and 4, and a second conveying channel 72 is formed above the upper conveying mechanism 3. Material frame detection sensors 5 are installed on the support frame 2 at positions corresponding to the first and second conveying channels 71 and 72.

In a specific implementation, two auxiliary rollers 14 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the bottom of the frame body 11. During operation, when the material frame conveying robot 100 needs to be controlled to move forward or backward in a straight line, the two drive motors 13 drive the two drive wheels 12 to rotate at the same speed. When the material frame conveying robot 100 needs to be controlled to rotate, the two drive motors 13 drive the two drive wheels 12 to form a differential speed, thereby achieving the rotation function.

[0043] This utility model designs the walking device 1 to have two drive wheels 12, and each drive wheel 12 is connected to a drive motor 13 for independent driving.
