Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehouse robot technology, specifically to an artificial intelligence warehouse robot based on four-way exit ASR. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy, the logistics industry has also developed very quickly. The use of high-rise warehouse racks has greatly improved the utilization rate of space, and warehouse logistics handling robot systems that are matched with warehouses are receiving more and more attention.

The warehouse robot includes a lifting component, a carrying component, and a connecting component. The lifting component drives the carrying component to lift. The warehouse robot provided by this application only needs to bring the carrying component and the lifting component close to each other so that the connecting component can be hooked onto the first mounting part through the opening. This can realize the connection between the carrying component and the lifting component. The operation does not require long-term support of the carrying component, making it easy to operate and relatively convenient and quick.

[0005] The above technical solution uses the commercially available ASR box-type storage robot, which has a three-way design for the entrance and exit. This results in the need for a U-shaped layout for the picking area of ​​the bin robot. The middle section of the U-shaped picking area is the picking zone, and the sides of the U-shaped picking area are equipped with conveyor lines and turning transfer machines. Traditional three-way opening robots require a conveyor, which takes up a lot of space. In addition, the configuration of conveyor lines and turning transfer machines increases costs. Therefore, we need to propose an ASR artificial intelligence storage robot based on a four-way exit. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an AI-powered warehouse robot based on a four-way exit ASR (Automatic Search and Rescue) system. The picking area can be arranged in a straight line, which, compared to a U-shaped arrangement, eliminates the need for conveyor areas at the interface on both sides. This saves space in the picking area and improves space utilization. It also eliminates the need for conveyors to transport items from the side to the picking position, thus eliminating the need for conveyors and reducing equipment investment costs. This addresses the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an AI-powered warehousing robot based on a four-way exit ASR (Automatic Storage and Retrieval System), comprising:

[0026] The driving vehicle body 1 and the gantry bracket 2 installed on the driving vehicle body 1 are provided with a lifting component 3 and multiple sets of material box buffer platforms 4. Multiple material boxes are temporarily stored and transported through the multiple sets of material box buffer platforms 4.

[0027] The drive mechanism 8 is installed on the lifting component 3, and the transfer frame 6 rotates 180 degrees through the drive mechanism 8. The transfer frame 6 is equipped with symmetrically arranged clamping forks 7. The ASR warehouse robot can directly dock with the picking area to pick up and put away boxes. Compared with the U-shaped picking area, it can save the time required for reversing when docking with the picking area to pick up and put away goods, thus improving work efficiency. The lifting component 3 is used to adjust the height of the transfer frame 6, so as to facilitate the transfer of boxes to the box buffer platform 4 of different heights. The lifting component 3 is existing technology, and its working principle will not be described in detail.

[0028] The transfer frame 6 is mainly composed of a support base plate 61 and two sets of protective frame plates 62. The two sets of protective frame plates 62 are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the support base plate 61, and a straight channel for the material box is provided between the two sets of protective frame plates 62. The openings at both ends of the transfer frame 6 facilitate the bidirectional transfer of the material box by the clamping fork 7, thereby realizing the four-way entrance and exit setting, enabling free picking and placing of goods in the aisle, and also allowing direct picking and placing of goods in the picking area.

[0029] The side view of the support base plate 61 and the two sets of protective frame plates 62 is U-shaped. A support shaft 64 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower surface of the support base plate 61, and the support shaft 64 is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism 8. A clamping mounting groove 63 for clamping forks 7 is opened on the opposite side of the two sets of protective frame plates 62.

[0030] In this embodiment, the existing general three-way inlet / outlet bin robot picking area has a U-shaped layout, with the picking area in the middle of the U-shape and conveyor lines and turning transfer machines configured on the sides of the U-shape, which increases costs. In contrast, this technical solution, through the innovative four-way inlet / outlet transfer frame 6, compared with the general three-way inlet / outlet loading platform, can save the space occupied by the picking area in terms of spatial layout, improve space utilization, reduce the investment cost of conveyor lines, and save the time required for reversing when picking up and putting down goods in the picking area, thereby improving work efficiency and achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0031] The drive mechanism 8 includes a protective component and a drive component, with the protective component installed above the drive component. Both the drive component and the protective component are located on the side opposite to the lifting assembly 3 and the multiple sets of material bin buffer platforms 4.

[0032] The driving component includes a servo motor 84, the output shaft of the servo motor 84 is connected to a rotating shaft, and the upper end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 85. The lower end of the support shaft 64 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 87. A toothed belt 86 is provided between the drive wheel 85 and the driven wheel 87. The outer diameter of the drive wheel 85 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven wheel 87.

[0033] Specifically, the drive wheel 85 is driven by the servo motor 84, and the power of the drive wheel 85 is transmitted to the driven wheel 87 through the toothed belt 86, thereby driving the support shaft 64 to rotate so that the angle of the transfer frame 6 can be adjusted, making it easier to pick up and put down the boxes from the shelf or picking table, improving the picking and putting efficiency, while eliminating the need for conveyors and loading platforms, reducing equipment costs.

[0034] The protective components include a connecting plate 81 fixed to the lifting assembly 3. One end of the connecting plate 81 is fixedly connected to a protective shell 82 for the support shaft 64 to be rotatably mounted. The lower end of the protective shell 82 is detachably connected to a maintenance bottom cover 83. The outer side of the protective shell 82 is provided with a side groove for the toothed belt 86 to pass through. The protective shell 82 on the connecting plate 81 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the transfer frame 6, improving the efficiency of robot disassembly and maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance bottom cover 83 facilitates the maintenance of the drive components, improving the service life of the robot.

[0035] The clamping fork 7 includes a bottom fork 71 installed in the clamping mounting slot 63, a first middle fork 72 is provided on one side of the bottom fork 71, a second middle fork 73 is provided on one side of the first middle fork 72, an inner fork 74 is installed on one side of the second middle fork 73, and two sets of reinforcing struts 5 are fixedly connected between the gantry bracket 2 and the drive vehicle body 1.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom fork 71 is provided with a driving structure that can drive the first middle fork 72 to extend, and the extension of the first middle fork 72 drives the second middle fork 73 to extend, thereby driving the inner fork 74 to extend, so that the inner fork 74 is located on both sides of the cargo box. The specific transmission principle is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The clamping device (a common knowledge in the prior art and will not be described in detail) drives the two sets of bottom forks 71 to move closer to each other, so that the inner fork 74 clamps the cargo box. The fork assembly 75 hooks the cargo box, thereby facilitating the transfer of the cargo box to the bearing base plate 61. At the same time, under the action of the lifting assembly 3, the lowering and transferring frame 6 is moved to different heights to facilitate the lowering of the cargo box, realizing four-way loading and unloading operations.

[0037] Both ends of one side of the inner fork 74 are provided with a shift fork assembly 75. The shift fork assembly 75 mainly consists of a shift fork drive motor, a shift fork body and a fork center position sensing plate.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, by starting the shift fork drive motor, the shift fork body is rotated, thereby hooking the goods and preventing them from falling off. The shift fork drive motor and the shift fork body are connected by a milled bushing to prevent the shift fingers from slipping during operation and to improve the stability of goods transportation.

[0039] When in the aisle, the robot moves straight along the aisle and can pick up boxes from the shelves on both sides of the robot. The picked-up boxes are temporarily stored on the material box buffer table 4. During the continuous movement, the temporarily stored boxes can be transferred to other shelves, thereby improving the efficiency of sorting boxes on the shelves.

[0040] When the robot moves to the picking area, it uses the clamping fork 7 to clamp the boxes on the box buffer platform 4, thus storing the boxes directly on the picking platform. Alternatively, the clamping fork 7 can be used to temporarily store the boxes on the box buffer platform 4 on the robot, thereby improving the picking efficiency of the boxes.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
