Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spinning technology, and in particular to a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of spinning processing, shuttle robot systems used for automated material transport (mainly yarn cakes and spools) are typically built upon automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or track-based mobile platforms. These robots are equipped with drive units (such as motors and wheel systems) and navigation systems (such as laser SLAM, magnetic navigation, and QR codes), enabling them to autonomously navigate along pre-defined paths (fixed tracks or free paths). Their primary function is to transfer yarn spools between two or more points, such as transporting a full spool from the winding machine's dosing point to the balancing area or packaging line. Their core function is to achieve unmanned material handling along specific paths, replacing manual trolleys or traditional conveyor lines, improving logistics efficiency, and reducing human intervention.

[0003] However, existing shuttle robots face significant challenges in material stability during actual operation. Because the spools are typically cylindrical and smooth, they are highly susceptible to displacement, shaking, or even tipping over and falling due to inertia or vibration during high-speed movement, starting, stopping, or turning. To address this issue, existing solutions often require additional or manual installation of specialized positioning and reinforcement structures (such as complex mechanical grippers, straps, adjustable baffles, or manual pre-arrangement and securing). This not only increases the complexity and cost of the equipment but also consumes additional time and manpower before and after each loading and unloading operation, significantly reducing overall transportation efficiency and contradicting the original intention of automation to improve efficiency. Furthermore, it increases the risk of material damage or safety accidents due to improper reinforcement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting materials, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A shuttle robot for spinning and transporting includes a base and a shuttle robot body movably disposed on the base. The shuttle robot body is driven to move by a drive source. A support structure is provided on the shuttle robot body. The support structure includes a bracket disposed on the upper end of the shuttle robot body. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the upper end of the bracket. It also includes an automatic clamping assembly, which includes side plates disposed on both sides of the base. The ends of the side plates are provided with ramps. The ends of the shuttle robot body are provided with mounting grooves. The upper inner side of the mounting groove is laterally movably connected to a positioning frame corresponding to the end of the bracket. The lower end of the mounting groove is vertically movably connected to a lifting plate. The lifting plate is provided with inclined guide grooves. The lower end of the positioning frame is provided with guide wheels that move and guide with the guide grooves. The bottom of the lifting plate is provided with a lifting frame that extends to the bottom of the shuttle robot body and corresponds to the side plates.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the lifting frame is rotatably provided with rollers for rolling cooperation with the upper end of the ramp and side plate.

[0008] Preferably, a horizontal frame is provided on the lower outer side of the lifting frame, and a second elastic element is provided between the horizontal frame and the bottom of the shuttle robot body.

[0009] Preferably, a guide rod is provided on the upper inner side of the mounting groove, and the lower end of the positioning frame is movably sleeved with the guide rod.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning frame has an adaptive plate on the side facing the bracket, and a first elastic element is provided between the adaptive plate and the positioning frame.

[0011] Preferably, the adaptive plate is provided with a guide pin corresponding to the first elastic element on the side near the positioning frame, and the guide pin is movably guided to the positioning frame.

[0012] Preferably, a piston rod is provided at one end of the horizontal frame, a cylinder corresponding to the piston rod is provided at the bottom end of the shuttle robot body, the upper end of the piston rod is movably connected to the inner side of the cylinder, hydraulic oil is provided on the inner side of the cylinder, and a through hole is provided at the upper end of the piston rod.

[0013] Preferably, the driving source includes a slide groove disposed on the upper end of the base, a lead screw rotatably disposed on the inner side of the slide groove, a motor for driving the lead screw to rotate disposed at one end of the base, and a slider that slides in cooperation with the slide groove and is threadedly connected to the lead screw at the bottom of the shuttle robot body. A linear guide rail is provided at the upper end of the base, and the main body of the shuttle robot is guided to move along the linear guide rail.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting, which has the following beneficial effects: This spinning transport shuttle robot automatically clamps the end of the raw material using the displacement of the main body of the shuttle robot through an automatic clamping component. It can automatically release after reaching the designated position, which increases the stability and safety of the raw material. It can also center the raw material. The structure is compact and easy to use. The self-adaptive plate and the first elastic element can adapt to the length of the raw material, increasing adaptability. The piston rod, cylinder, through hole and hydraulic oil can reduce the reset speed of the positioning frame and dampen the speed, avoiding rapid separation from the raw material at the end, which would cause the raw material to become unstable or fall off due to inertia.

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1-5As shown, a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting includes a base 1 and a shuttle robot body 2 movably mounted on the base 1. The shuttle robot body 2 is driven to move by a drive source. Specifically, the drive source includes a slide groove 10 located at the upper end of the base 1, a lead screw 7 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the slide groove 10, a motor 3 for driving the lead screw 7 to rotate at one end of the base 1, a slider 9 at the bottom of the shuttle robot body 2 that slides with the slide groove 10 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 7, a linear guide rail 6 located at the upper end of the base 1, and the shuttle robot body 2 movably guides and cooperates with the linear guide rail 6. A support structure is provided on the shuttle robot body 2, including a bracket 11 located at the upper end of the shuttle robot body 2, and an arc-shaped support groove 13 located at the upper end of the bracket 11.

[0019] It also includes an automatic clamping assembly, which includes side plates 4 disposed on both sides of the base 1. The ends of the side plates 4 are provided with ramps 5. The ends of the shuttle robot body 2 are provided with mounting grooves 12. The upper inner side of the mounting groove 12 is laterally movably connected to a positioning frame 8 corresponding to the end of the bracket 11. Specifically, to increase stability, a guide rod 20 is provided on the upper inner side of the mounting groove 12. The lower end of the positioning frame 8 is movably sleeved with the guide rod 20. The lower end of the mounting groove 12 is vertically movably connected to a lifting plate 17. The lifting plate 17 is provided with inclined guides. The lower end of the guide groove 18 and the positioning frame 8 is provided with a guide wheel 19 that moves and guides the guide groove 18. The bottom of the lifting plate 17 is provided with a lifting frame 21 that extends to the bottom of the shuttle robot body 2 and corresponds to the side plate 4. In order to reduce friction, a roller 22 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the lifting frame 21 for rolling cooperation with the ramp 5 and the upper end of the side plate 4. In order to facilitate the reset of the positioning frame 8 and the lifting plate 17, a horizontal frame 24 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the lifting frame 21. A second elastic member 23 is provided between the horizontal frame 24 and the bottom of the shuttle robot body 2.

[0020] Furthermore, to increase adaptability, an adaptive plate 14 is provided on the side of the positioning frame 8 facing the bracket 11. A first elastic element 16 is provided between the adaptive plate 14 and the positioning frame 8. The first elastic element 16 is preferably a spring. To increase the stability of the adaptive plate 14 and the spring, a guide pin 15 corresponding to the first elastic element 16 is provided on the side of the adaptive plate 14 near the positioning frame 8. The guide pin 15 is movably guided and connected to the positioning frame 8. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide pin 15.

[0021] To slow down the separation of the positioning frame 8 from the raw material, a piston rod 26 is provided at one end of the horizontal frame 24, and a cylinder 25 corresponding to the piston rod 26 is provided at the bottom end of the shuttle robot body 2. The upper end of the piston rod 26 is movably connected to the inner side of the cylinder 25, and hydraulic oil is provided on the inner side of the cylinder 25. A through hole 27 is provided at the upper end of the piston rod 26.

[0022] It should be noted that this utility model is a shuttle robot for spinning and transporting materials. In use, the raw material is placed in the slot 13 on the support 11, with both ends protruding from the ends of the support 11. Then, the motor 3 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate. The lead screw 7, through the slider 9, drives the main body 2 of the shuttle robot to move. The linear guide rail 6 increases stability. In the initial stage of the shuttle robot's main body 2's displacement, the roller 22 moves to the top of the side plate 4 via the ramp 5. Then, the lifting frame 21 drives the horizontal frame 24 to compress the second elastic element 23. Simultaneously, the lifting frame 21 drives the lifting plate 17 to rise. The lifting plate 17, through the cooperation of the guide groove 18 and the guide wheel 19, drives the positioning frame 8 to approach the support 11. The positioning frame 8, through adaptive... When the adaptive plate 14 contacts the end of the raw material, the adaptive plate 14 clamps the raw material. The first elastic element 16 can adaptively contract. When it reaches the designated position, the roller 22 goes down the ramp 5 at the other end of the side plate 4. The second elastic element 23 resets. Then the positioning frame 8 drives the adaptive plate 14 to release the raw material. When the lifting frame 21 drives the horizontal frame 24 to rise and fall, it also drives the piston rod 26 to rise and fall. Then the hydraulic oil inside the cylinder 25 can flow through the through hole 27. When it flows, it generates resistance and consumes stationary kinetic energy, thereby achieving damping. This can prevent the rapid reset of the lifting plate 17 and the positioning frame 8 when the roller 22 separates from the ramp 5, and ensure that the main body 2 of the shuttle robot slowly resets after stopping.
