Although some automated loading equipment uses robotic arms and clamps to achieve automated operation, most existing clamps are integrated fixed structures that can only adapt to goods of a single size and type. When it is necessary to clamp different specifications, such as bags of different thicknesses, it is necessary to frequently disassemble and replace the clamps or make complex mechanical adjustments to the clamps. The operation process is cumbersome, wastes time, and reduces operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0013] 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.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: In this technical solution, an automated loading device for warehousing includes a robotic arm 1 and a cargo clamp 2. The cargo clamp 2 is installed on both the left and right sides of the output end of the robotic arm 1. The cargo clamp 2 can clamp the items to be loaded onto the vehicle. The cargo clamp 2 includes a fixed plate 21, a rotating block 22, a through hole 23, a clamping rod 24, a locking bolt 25, and a supporting part 26. The fixed plate 21 is installed on the lower wall of the output end of the robotic arm 1. The rotating block 22 is installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 21. The upper wall of the rotating block 22 has a through hole 23. The clamping rod 24 is inserted into the through hole 23. The locking bolt 25 is screwed into the side wall of the rotating block 22. The locking bolt 25 can be inserted into the through hole 23 to support the clamping rod 24. The supporting part 26 is installed on the upper wall of the fixed plate 21. The supporting part 26 can drive the clamping rod 24 to rotate. In this technical solution, the robotic arm 1 can flexibly adjust its spatial position and angle. The cargo grippers 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of its output end, which can grip the items from both sides. At the same time, the robotic arm 1 is a mature technology at present, and its operating principle and control method will not be described in detail in this article. The clamping rod 24 is inserted into the through hole 23. By adjusting the insertion depth of the clamping rod 24 in the through hole 23, it can be adapted to items of different lengths to be loaded onto the vehicle. Then, the clamping rod 24 is held in place by the locking bolt 25, which can fix the clamping rod 24 in the adjusted position. The holding part 26 serves as a power transmission component, which drives the clamping rod 24 and the rotating block 22 to rotate, so that they can clamp and release the goods.

[0015] In some technical solutions, the rotating block 22 includes a frame 221, a rotating ring 222, a hole 223 and a protruding post 224. The frame 221 is installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 21. The side wall of the frame 221 has a hole 223. The rotating ring 222 is located inside the frame 221. Protruding posts 224 are installed on both the left and right sides of the rotating ring 222. The protruding posts 224 are inserted into the hole 223.

[0016] In this technical solution, the protruding post 224 and the hole 223 form a rotating fit structure. The protruding post 224 can rotate flexibly in the hole 223, thereby driving the rotating ring 222 and the clamping rod 24 on the rotating ring 222 to rotate around the central axis of the frame 221, thereby clamping and releasing the goods.

[0017] In some technical solutions, the top support 26 includes a hydraulic cylinder 261, a connecting frame 262, and a tension spring 263. The hydraulic cylinder 261 is installed on the upper wall of the fixed plate 21. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 261 is equipped with the connecting frame 262, which is sleeved on the outside of the clamping rod 24. One end of the tension spring 263 is installed on the side wall of the connecting frame 262, and the other end of the tension spring 263 is installed on the upper wall of the fixed plate 21.

[0018] In this technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder 261 is connected to an external oil supply device via an oil pipe. When clamping the goods, the extension of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 261 drives the connecting frame 262 to move. The connecting frame 262, through the sleeve of the clamping rod 24, drives the clamping rod 24 to rotate, so that the clamping rod 24 clamps the goods. When the goods are released, the external oil supply device stops supplying oil. Under the action of the tension spring 263, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 261 retracts, pulling the connecting frame 262 to reset, thereby driving the clamping rod 24 back to the initial position, completing the release operation of the goods.

[0019] In some technical solutions, a rubber sleeve 3 is fitted onto the outer wall of the clamping rod 24, and the outer wall of the rubber sleeve 3 is provided with anti-slip texture 4.

[0020] In this technical solution, the rubber sleeve 3 has good elasticity and cushioning performance, which can prevent the clamping rod 24 from directly and rigidly contacting the goods when clamping the goods, thus preventing the surface of the goods from being pinched or scratched, and can also increase the friction between the clamping rod 24 and the goods.

[0021] In some technical solutions, the upper outer wall of the clamping rod 24 is threaded, and the upper end of the clamping rod 24 is fitted with a positioning nut 5 by rotating the thread.

[0022] In this technical solution, the positioning nut 5 can prevent the clamping rod 24 from coming out of the through hole 23. In this paper, the lower end of the clamping rod 24 has a certain tilt angle, so the clamping rod 24 is inserted from below the through hole 23. After passing through the through hole 23, the positioning nut 5 is installed at the upper end of the clamping rod 24.

[0023] In some technical solutions, the lower wall of the fixing plate 21 is provided with a mounting hole 6, and a bolt 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 6. The fixing plate 21 is installed on the lower wall of the output end of the robotic arm 1 by the bolt 7.

[0024] In this technical solution, the lower end of the robotic arm 1 is provided with a threaded hole that mates with the bolt 7. By screwing the bolt 7 into the threaded hole, the installation of the fixing plate 21 is completed.

[0025] Working principle: First, according to the size and specifications of the goods to be loaded, the operator adjusts the insertion depth of the clamping rod 24 in the through hole 23 of the rotating block 22. After the position is determined, the locking bolt 25 on the side wall of the rotating block 22 is tightened, so that the locking bolt 25 holds the clamping rod 24 in place. Then, the robotic arm 1 is started, and according to the preset loading path, it moves the cargo clamp 2 to both sides of the goods to be loaded. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 261 of the supporting part 26 extends, pushing the connecting frame 262 to move. The connecting frame 262 drives the clamping rod 24 to move towards the cargo. The cargo rotates until the rubber sleeve 3 on the outside of the clamping rod 24 fits against the cargo surface and clamps the cargo. Then, the robotic arm 1 moves the clamping fixture 2 holding the cargo to the designated loading position in the truck bed. After reaching the position, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 261 retracts, and the tension spring 263 pulls the connecting frame 262 to reset through elastic force, thereby driving the clamping rod 24 to rotate in the opposite direction and release the cargo. Finally, the robotic arm 1 drives the cargo clamping fixture 2 back to the initial picking position, ready for the next loading operation. This cycle is repeated to realize the automated loading operation of warehouse cargo.
