Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling robot technology, and in particular to a traction mechanism for ground handling robots. Background Technology

[0002] Material handling robots are automated devices primarily used for the handling and transfer of materials. They are typically equipped with sensors and navigation systems, enabling them to automatically navigate and move heavy objects. Current material handling robots generally require a connection between the robot and the goods / shelves being moved. Based on load-bearing methods, they are broadly categorized into rack-mounted and rack-towing types. After the goods and vehicle are connected, the robot follows a pre-set trajectory, executing the handling process until the designated location where the vehicle detaches from the goods, completing one handling task. This solves the problem of labor-intensive and time-consuming manual handling of heavy goods, playing a positive role in reducing labor costs, improving efficiency, and facilitating management in the warehousing industry.

[0003] In existing technologies, the connection between handling robots and trucks is generally achieved by using pins or hooks. This requires manual intervention at the beginning of the handling process to ensure the connection between the rack and the truck. After reaching the destination, the pins or hooks need to be manually removed. The whole process is cumbersome, lacks automation, is labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a traction mechanism for ground handling robots to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a traction mechanism for a ground handling robot.

[0006] The present invention provides a traction mechanism for a ground transport robot, comprising: a mounting plate connected to the side of the transport robot; a transverse slide rail on the side of the mounting plate; a longitudinal slide rail connected to the transverse slide rail via a slider; a fixed plate connected to the longitudinal slide rail via a slider; a connector with a connecting groove fixedly connected to the side of the fixed plate; a insertion hole above the connector; a pin above the insertion hole; the top of the pin connected to the telescopic end of a lifting cylinder; the top of the lifting cylinder connected to the bottom of a support plate; the side of the support plate connected to the side of the fixed plate; and an image recognition device mounted on the side of the fixed plate, the image recognition device being electrically connected to a control device.

[0007] Preferably, there are two transverse slide rails, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the side of the mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the two opposing inner surfaces of the connector are respectively provided with a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting plate has a rectangular protective ring on its side, and the transverse slide rail is located inside the protective ring.

[0010] Preferably, a first electric telescopic rod and a second electric telescopic rod are respectively provided at both ends of the side of the mounting plate, and a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet are installed on the side of the first electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the insertion holes is the same as the number of the pins, and they correspond one-to-one, and the number of insertion holes is two.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the connecting groove below the insertion hole is provided with an insertion groove, and the insertion groove is movably connected to the lower end of the pin.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the traction mechanism for ground handling robots provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] This utility model uses a lifting cylinder to move the disassembly pin downwards, connecting the insertion hole with the connection hole on the connecting rod, thereby achieving full automation of the connection between the truck and the handling robot, eliminating the need for manual operation and improving operational efficiency.

[0015] By setting a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate, this utility model can ensure that when the truck connecting rod enters the connecting groove, the positioning restriction of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate ensures that the connecting rod can enter the connecting groove when the handling robot aligns the connecting part with the truck connecting rod, which facilitates the subsequent connection between the insertion hole and the connecting hole.

[0016] This utility model, by setting a first electric telescopic rod and a second electric telescopic rod, can drive a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet to move back and forth. The first electromagnet and the second electromagnet magnetically attract the side of the truck and cooperate with the connecting parts to improve the stability of the connection between the handling robot and the truck.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a traction mechanism for a ground transport robot, comprising: a mounting plate 1 connected to the side of the transport robot; a transverse slide rail 2 provided on the side of the mounting plate 1; a longitudinal slide rail 3 connected to the transverse slide rail 2 via a slider; a fixing plate 5 connected to the longitudinal slide rail 3 via a slider; a connector 7 with a connecting groove 8 fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate 5; a insertion hole 9 provided above the connector 7; a pin 10 provided above the insertion hole 9; the top of the pin 10 connected to the telescopic end of a lifting cylinder 11; the top of the lifting cylinder 11 connected to the bottom of a support plate 12; the side of the support plate 12 connected to the side of the fixing plate 5; and an image recognition device 6 installed on the side of the fixing plate 5, the image recognition device 6 being electrically connected to a control device.

[0022] It should be noted that the image recognition device 6 and the control device adopt existing technology. The image recognition device 6 can identify the orientation of the truck and the position of the truck connecting rod. Based on the recognition results, the control device adjusts the orientation of the handling robot and drives the handling robot to move so that the truck connecting rod enters the connecting groove 8 and connects with the connecting groove 8. The truck in the prior art has a connecting rod with a connecting hole installed on its side.

[0023] When the truck's connecting rod enters the connecting slot 8, the insertion hole 9 corresponds to the connecting hole on the truck's connecting rod. Driven by the lifting cylinder 11, the disassembly pin moves downward, connecting the insertion hole 9 with the connecting hole on the connecting rod. This achieves fully automated connection between the truck and the handling robot, eliminating the need for manual operation and improving operational efficiency.

[0024] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, there are two transverse slide rails 2, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the side of the mounting plate 1.

[0025] It should be noted that by setting up double transverse slide rails 2, the two ends of the longitudinal slide rail 3 can be connected, so that the longitudinal slide rail 3 is subjected to uniform force, thereby improving the stability of the longitudinal slide rail 3 when moving left and right.

[0026] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the two opposing inner surfaces of the connector 7 are respectively provided with a first limiting plate 14 and a second limiting plate 15.

[0027] It should be noted that by setting the first limiting plate 14 and the second limiting plate 15, when the truck connecting rod enters the connecting groove 8, the positioning restriction of the first limiting plate 14 and the second limiting plate 15 ensures that the connecting rod can enter the connecting groove 8 when the handling robot aligns the connecting part 7 with the truck connecting rod, which facilitates the subsequent connection between the insertion hole 9 and the connecting hole.

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 1 has a rectangular protective ring 4 on its side, and the transverse slide rail 2 is located inside the protective ring 4.

[0029] It should be noted that by setting the protective ring 4, the transverse slide rail 2 and the longitudinal slide rail 3 can be protected to prevent damage to the transverse slide rail 2 and the longitudinal slide rail 3 caused by external forces during use, which would affect subsequent use.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, a first electric telescopic rod 16 and a second electric telescopic rod 18 are respectively provided at both ends of the side of the mounting plate 1, and a first electromagnet 17 and a second electromagnet 19 are installed on the sides of the first electric telescopic rod 16 and the second electric telescopic rod 18.

[0031] It should be noted that by setting the first electric telescopic rod 16 and the second electric telescopic rod 18, the first electromagnet 17 and the second electromagnet 19 can be driven to move back and forth. The first electromagnet 17 and the second electromagnet 19 magnetically attract the side of the truck and cooperate with the connector 7 to improve the stability of the connection between the handling robot and the truck.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the number of the insertion holes 9 and the number of the pins 10 are the same and correspond one-to-one, and there are two insertion holes 9.

[0033] It should be noted that by setting up double insertion holes 9, the risk resistance of the traction mechanism can be improved. If one pin 10 is damaged, the other pin 10 can still be used normally.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end of the connecting groove 8 below the insertion hole 9 is provided with an insertion groove 13, which is movably connected to the lower end of the pin 10.

[0035] It should be noted that by setting the insertion slot 13, when the pin 10 and the insertion hole 9 are connected to each other, the lower end of the pin 10 can enter the pin 10 slot, thereby improving the stability of the pin 10 connection.

[0036] The working principle of the traction mechanism for ground handling robots provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] When the truck's connecting rod enters the connecting slot 8, the insertion hole 9 corresponds to the connecting hole on the truck's connecting rod. Driven by the lifting cylinder 11, the disassembly pin moves downward, connecting the insertion hole 9 with the connecting hole on the connecting rod. This achieves fully automated connection between the truck and the handling robot, eliminating the need for manual operation and improving operational efficiency.

[0038] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
