Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, specifically a logistics sorting and transportation robot. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics handling robots, as a key technology for improving transportation efficiency, reducing labor costs, and enhancing operational safety, are widely used in warehouses, airports, waste sorting, and industrial fields. In existing technologies, such robots typically consist of a chassis, a robotic arm, and sensing devices. They control the joint movement and positioning of the robotic arm through programming, drive the robotic gripper to grasp objects, and rely on data transmitted from sensors to achieve path planning and obstacle avoidance for the chassis.

[0003] Most existing logistics robots can only carry a single type of goods and have limited transport capacity. They lack a dedicated classification structure that can adapt to multiple types of goods, making it difficult to simultaneously sort various types of goods such as regular goods, spherical goods, and ring-shaped goods. Mainstream sorting devices such as conveyor belts and automated sorting machines are not only costly and require a large area, but also have problems such as being unable to dynamically match the needs of goods transportation and being prone to equipment scheduling conflicts. This results in a lengthy and inefficient overall operation process. Even though some technologies have introduced logistics sorting and transportation robots, they still cannot solve the problem of integrating sorting and transportation. In existing warehouses, factories, and other scenarios, there are dense obstacles and varying shelf heights, which can easily lead to interference factors such as goods being obscured and ground reflections. Existing navigation and positioning technologies mostly rely on single sensors and lack multi-sensor collaborative mechanisms, resulting in positioning errors, deviations in walking routes, and low efficiency in obstacle avoidance.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a logistics sorting and transportation robot to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

The sorting box 18 includes a first storage box servo 5, a storage box 4, and a first delivery track 6. A second storage box servo 40 and a second delivery track 19 are set at the tail end of the arc-shaped track 9. A six-axis motion sensor 39 is located on the right rear of the upper chassis 16.

[0021] Two stepper motors 20 equipped with Mecanum wheels 8 are installed on both sides of the lower chassis 2. Motor housings 11 are screwed onto the lower chassis 2. The stepper motors 20 are all surrounded by motor housings 11. A hydraulic spring shock absorber is installed between the motor housings 11 and the lower chassis 2. A control unit 7 is installed and connected to the left side of the lower chassis 2.

[0022] The control section can use existing microcontrollers or PLC controllers, such as low-power STM32 microcontrollers or Siemens S7-200CN controllers, and the six-axis motion sensor can be an MPU6050.

[0023] A battery box 13 is installed and connected to the right side of the lower chassis 2. The control unit 7 is symmetrically installed on the lower chassis 2 with the battery box 13. A lidar 14 is placed in the middle of the lower chassis 2. A grayscale sensor 15 is installed in front of both the control unit 7 and the battery box 13.

[0024] At the front and rear of the upper chassis 16, there are two photoelectric switches and one photoelectric switch 3 respectively. A palletizing platform 10 is set on the upper right side of the upper chassis 16. A fixing component 12 is installed and connected to the front of the upper chassis 16. A platform servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the fixing component 12. A platform 17 is equipped on the platform servo motor 21. The arc-shaped track 9 is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper chassis 16 by screws and slots. The sorting box 18 is set on the left side of the upper chassis 16.

[0025] A large gear 36 is embedded inside the fixed bearing base 33. A first motor 34 is arranged between the upper chassis 16 and the lower chassis 2. A small gear 37 is fixedly connected to the first motor 34, and the small gear 37 is engaged with the large gear 36.

[0026] A gimbal base 32 is fixedly connected above the fixed bearing base 33, and a first mounting base 35 is fixedly connected above the gimbal base 32.

[0027] A first servo motor 31 is mounted and connected to the first mounting base 35. A first long arm 28 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first servo motor 31. A second mounting base 30 is mounted and connected to the upper side of the first long arm 28. A second servo motor 29 is mounted and connected to the upper side of the second mounting base 30.

[0028] The second servo motor 29 is connected to a medium-length arm 27 on its upper side. The medium-length arm 27 is connected to a third mounting base 26. The third mounting base 26 is connected to a third servo motor 25 on its upper side. The front of the third servo motor 25 is connected to a camera mounting bracket 22. The camera mounting bracket 22 is connected to the first claw 23 and the second claw 24 with screws through its own structure.

[0029] Work process: The robot works in collaboration with a lidar 14, a six-axis motion sensor 39, and a camera. The lidar 14 scans the surrounding environment in real time, while the six-axis motion sensor 39 monitors the robot's posture changes in real time to help correct deviations during movement. The camera is responsible for acquiring visual images and using image recognition technology to identify surrounding objects, further enhancing the accuracy of positioning. The photoelectric switch 3, in conjunction with the grayscale sensor 15, further assists in positioning and transmits data back in real time to achieve instant obstacle avoidance.

[0030] The first motor 34 drives the small gear 37 to rotate, which in turn drives the large gear 36 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the gimbal base 32 and achieving a 360° rotation of the robotic arm 1. The first servo motor 31 then drives the first long arm 28 to rotate, the second servo motor 29 controls the angle of the medium long arm 27, and the third servo motor 25 adjusts the position of the camera mounting bracket 22 and the claw. The camera on top of the robotic arm 1 identifies and automatically classifies the goods. When the robotic arm 1 picks up regular goods, it places them in the corresponding storage box 4. When a spherical object is identified, the robotic arm 1 places it on the arc-shaped track 9. The spherical object rolls along the track to its designated storage position due to its own gravity. The second storage box servo motor 40 controls the unloading of the spherical object. The palletizing platform 10 on the upper right of the upper chassis 16 is used for classifying ring-shaped objects. The robotic arm 1 neatly stacks these ring-shaped objects on the palletizing platform 10, achieving classified storage of goods and enabling the simultaneous sorting and transport of multiple types of objects.

[0031] Two stepper motors 20 equipped with Mecanum wheels 8 are mounted on each side of the lower chassis 2, enabling various movements such as forward, backward, lateral movement, and rotation in place, adapting to complex environments such as warehouses. The motor housing 11 is connected to the lower chassis 2 by screws, enclosing the stepper motors 20. The hydraulic spring shock absorber between the motor housing 11 and the lower chassis 2 provides good shock absorption. When the robot travels on uneven ground, if one of the wheels hits a protrusion, the hydraulic spring shock absorber will be stretched, causing the motor housing 11 and the stepper motors 20 to be lifted together, thus effectively buffering the vibration and ensuring stable operation of the robot under different ground conditions.
