Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, a horizontal adjustment plate 2 mounted on the mounting frame 1, and a loading platform 3 mounted above the horizontal adjustment plate 2. The upper surface of the horizontal adjustment plate 2 is provided with a hinge seat 21, and the loading platform 3 is longitudinally hinged to the horizontal adjustment plate 2 through the hinge seat 21. The loading platform adjustment device also includes a drive mechanism 4 for driving the loading platform 3 to rotate, and a linear drive mechanism 5 for driving the horizontal adjustment plate 2 to slide in the horizontal direction. The loading platform 3 is also provided with a clamping assembly 6 for clamping goods.

[0029] This loading platform 3 adjustment device effectively solves the problem of material handling robots struggling to accurately align the loading platform 3 with the materials on the shelves in complex scenarios such as narrow aisles and densely packed multi-layered shelving areas.

The clamping assembly 6 includes two opposing clamping plates 60 and an adjustment mechanism 61 for adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates. The arrangement of the receiving space 32 increases the overall structural compactness of the device, and while using a first slide rail 36 for the clamping plates 60 to increase clamping stability, it also protects the first slide rail 36 from being exposed to the outside of the device, thus improving the service life of the device. The lower end of the clamping plate 60 is disposed within the receiving space 32, and the upper end of the clamping plate 60 is disposed above the loading plate 31; the loading plate 31 is provided with a clearance groove 310 for avoiding the clamping plates.

[0032] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 35 is also provided on one side wall of the loading plate 31 to limit the material. The limiting plate 35 is set perpendicular to the clamping plate 60. The loading plate 31 is also provided with protrusions to increase the friction between the material and the loading plate 31. This is beneficial to improving the stability of the clamping plate 60 in holding the material.

[0033] The side of the loading platform opposite the limit plate is used for loading and unloading goods.

[0034] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 61 includes a first gear 340 horizontally disposed within the bottom shell, and two first racks 341 respectively disposed on both sides of the first gear 340 and meshing with the first gear 340; the two first racks 341 are arranged parallel to each other and extend in directions opposite to each other; the first gear 340 is rotatably disposed on the lower surface of the bottom shell with a fixed axis; the ends of the two first racks 341 away from the first gear 340 are respectively fixedly connected to two clamping plates 60; the side wall of the mounting bottom shell 30 is provided with clearance holes 300 to avoid the clamping plates 60; the gear and rack meshing structure is used to adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 60, which effectively ensures the stability of the clamping plates 60 in holding materials and has good practicality.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 60 includes a clamping part 601 and a fixing part 600 connected to the first rack 341; the fixing part 600 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the fixing part 600 away from the first rack 341 protrudes through one side wall of the mounting base 30; the clamping part 601 is disposed on the upper surface of the fixing part 600, and the upper end of the clamping part 601 extends out of the cargo plate 31, and the cargo plate 31 is provided with a clearance groove 310 to avoid the clamping part 601; the fixing part 600 is disposed in the movable space 6, which effectively improves the overall structural compactness of the device.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first slide rail 36 is provided on the mounting base 30 along the length direction of the first rack 341, and the clamping plate 60 is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 36; the first slide rail 36 assists the meshing of the first rack 341 and the first gear 340, provides guidance for the sliding of the clamping plate 60, and improves the sliding stability of the clamping plate 60 when it slides.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are two hinge seats 21, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the loading platform 3. The hinge seat 21 includes a mounting part 210 fixedly disposed on the horizontal adjustment plate 2, a rotating shaft 211 horizontally passing through the mounting part 210, and a connecting plate 212 fixedly disposed on the end of the rotating shaft 211 near the loading platform 3. The side wall of the connecting plate 212 away from the mounting part 210 is fixedly connected to the loading platform 3. While providing the loading platform 3 with a degree of freedom of movement in the longitudinal direction, the hinge seat 21 also plays a supporting role between the loading platform 3 and the horizontal adjustment plate 2, supporting the activity space 6 that allows the loading platform 3 to move longitudinally. The activity space 6 not only gives the loading platform 3 a degree of freedom of movement in the longitudinal direction, but also prevents the loading platform 3 from colliding with the horizontal adjustment plate 2 during longitudinal rotation.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 includes a horizontally arranged horizontal part 10, and a second slide rail 11 is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal part 10 along the sliding direction of the horizontal adjustment plate 2; the linear drive mechanism 5 includes a second rack 50 fixed on the horizontal part 10 and arranged parallel to the second slide rail 11, and a rotary motor 51 fixed on the horizontal adjustment plate 2, and a second gear 52 adapted to the second rack 50 is provided on the movable end of the rotary motor 51.

[0040] The horizontal adjustment plate 2 has two through holes 20 for the rotary motor 51 and the cam motor 40 to extend out respectively. The housings of the rotary motor 51 and the cam motor 40 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two through holes 20 respectively. This is used to fix the cam motor 40 and the rotary motor 51, and at the same time reduce the height of the loading platform adjustment device in the longitudinal direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the horizontal part 10 is provided with a third slide rail 12 that is parallel to the second slide rail 11, and the horizontal adjustment plate 2 is slidably disposed on the third slide rail 12.

[0042] When the second gear 52 meshes with the second rack 50, the second rack 50 is fixedly set. The second gear 52 drives the rotary motor 51 to slide on the second slide rail 11, and drives the horizontal adjustment plate 2 to slide along the length direction of the third slide rail 12, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the horizontal adjustment plate 2. At the same time as the rotary motor 51 slides, the cam motor 40 also slides synchronously on the second slide rail 11 and the rotary motor 51.

[0043] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
