[0054] Example 1

[0055] The present embodiment provides a handling robot configured to carry a material box 3, as shown in Figures 1-7, comprising a vehicle body 1, a cargo pick-up and placement mechanism installed on the top of the vehicle body 1, the cargo pick-up and placement mechanism adopts a vertical cargo picking mechanism, comprising a lifting mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 2 is connected to the vehicle body 1, the upper part of the lifting mechanism 2 is connected to the pallet 4, the pallet 4 is configured to carry the material box 3, the lifting mechanism 2 can drive the pallet 4 to lift and lower, thereby realizing the taking out of the material box 3 or putting the material box 3 on the shelf, a limiting mechanism 5 is provided on the vehicle body 1 to limit the material box 3, and a limiting mechanism 6 is provided between the vehicle body 1 and the pallet 4 to limit the pallet.

[0056] In this embodiment, the cargo picking and placing mechanism adopts a vertical cargo picking mechanism, wherein the lifting mechanism 2 can adopt an existing scissor-type lifting mechanism, using existing technology, and its specific structure is not described in detail here.

[0057] The periphery of the tray 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting mechanisms, which are material box limiting mechanisms 5 for preventing the material box 3 from falling from the tray 4 . The material box limiting mechanisms 5 are installed on the vehicle body 1 .

[0058] In this embodiment, two material box limiting mechanisms 5 are provided on the outer sides of the two edges of the tray 4 along the length direction, and two material box limiting mechanisms 5 are provided on the outer sides of the two edges of the tray 4 along the width direction.

[0059] It is understandable that the number of the material box limiting mechanisms 5 can be set according to actual conditions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In this embodiment, the material box limiting mechanism 5 includes a support frame and a limiting block 5-1. The support frame is fixed to the vehicle body 1, and the limiting block 5-1 is installed on the support frame.

[0061] In the two limit blocks 5-1 on the outside of the width edge of the pallet, each limit block corresponds to a support frame, and the two support frames are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the length direction of the vehicle body. The support frame adopts an L-shaped frame 5-2, which includes a vertical part and a horizontal part. The bottom end of the vertical part is fixed to the end of the top surface of the vehicle body 1 along the length direction, and the outer end of the horizontal part extends to the outside of the width edge of the pallet 4.

[0062] The limit block 5 - 1 is slidably connected to the horizontal portion to achieve adjustment along the length direction of the vehicle body 1 , that is, to achieve position adjustment of the limit block along the limit direction.

[0063] Specifically, a plurality of slide grooves 5-3 are provided on the horizontal part, and the axis of the slide groove 5-3 is set along the limiting direction of the limit block 5-1. The limit block 5-1 is slidably connected to the horizontal part through the slide groove 5-3 and a locking component is provided between the limit block 5-1 and the horizontal part.

[0064] The locking component adopts a threaded locking part such as a bolt or a screw, and its rod part passes through the slide groove 5-3 and is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole opened on the bottom surface of the limit block 5-1. Its head is pressed against the bottom surface of the horizontal part to lock and fix the limit block 5-1 to the horizontal part. Loosening the threaded locking part can make the limit block 5-1 slide along the slide groove 5-3 to adjust its position.

[0065] The two limit blocks 5-1 on the outer sides of the longitudinal edge of the pallet share a support frame, which includes a column 5-4 fixed to the middle part of the longitudinal edge of the upper surface of the vehicle body 1, and a horizontal plate 5-5 is fixed to the top of the column 5-4. The two ends of the horizontal plate 5-5 are slidably connected to the limit blocks 5-1 and a locking component is provided between the limit blocks 5-1. The connection method between the limit blocks 5-1 and the horizontal plate 5-5 is the same as the connection method between the limit blocks 5-1 and the horizontal part, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In this embodiment, the limit block 5-1 can adjust its position along the limit direction through the slide groove 5-3, and is locked and fixed by a threaded locking member, so that the limit block 5-1 can adjust its position according to the size of the material box 3, meeting the limit requirements of material boxes 3 of different sizes and specifications, and improving the applicability of the entire material box handling robot.

[0067] The vehicle body 1 includes a chassis and a fixed plate 1 - 1 located above the chassis. The fixed plate 1 - 1 is connected to the lifting mechanism 2 and the material box limiting mechanism 5 and is configured to support the lifting mechanism 2 and the material box limiting mechanism 5 .

[0068] Optionally, the fixing plate 1 - 1 is detachably fixed to the bottom of the lifting mechanism by bolts.

[0069] As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the chassis consists of a main plate 1-2 and a sub-plate 1-3. The main plate 1-2 and the sub-plate 1-3 are hingedly connected by a pin 1-4. The main plate 1-2 is provided with two sets of power mechanisms at the hinge position with the sub-plate 1-3. The power mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the main plate 1-2 along the width direction. The power mechanisms are connected to the active walking wheels 1-5 and can drive the active walking wheels 1-5 to rotate. The power mechanisms can be made of existing technology. For example, the power mechanisms can be made of motors, reducers, or hydraulic motors and other devices that can output rotational motion. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs. Optionally, the power mechanism can be made of a hub motor that integrates a click, reducer, and wheel body, thereby reducing the body size and making the handling robot more flexible.

[0070] Since the active running wheel 1-5 is arranged at the hinge position of the main plate 1-2 and the auxiliary plate 1-3, the active running wheel 1-5 is arranged in the middle position of the entire chassis. In order to support the main plate 1-2 and the auxiliary plate 1-3, the main plate 1-2 and the auxiliary plate 1-3 are both provided with driven running wheels 1-6, and the two driven running wheels 1-6 are arranged along the diagonals of the entire chassis.

[0071] The main disk 1-2 and the auxiliary disk 1-3 are connected to the fixed plate 1-1 through a connecting rod mechanism. By setting up the connecting rod mechanism, the inclination angle of the fixed plate 1-1 can be reduced after the main disk 1-2 and the auxiliary disk 1-3 rotate relative to each other.

[0072] The connecting rod mechanism can be set as one set, two sets, three sets or more sets, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs. The connecting rod mechanism can be set in the middle position of the chassis and the fixed plate 1-1 or on both sides along the walking direction, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0073] In this embodiment, two sets of the connecting rod mechanisms are provided, which are respectively arranged at two sides of the fixed plate 1 - 1 and the chassis along the walking direction.

[0074] The connecting rod mechanism includes a first connecting rod 1-7, one end of which is fixedly connected to the main disk 1-2, and the other end of the first connecting rod 1-7 is hinged to the fixed plate 1-1, or one end of the first connecting rod 1-7 is hinged to the main disk 1-2, and the other end of the first connecting rod 1-7 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1-1; and also includes a second connecting rod 1-10, both ends of which are hinged to the sub-disk 1-3 and the fixed plate 1-1, respectively.

[0075] Specifically, the connecting rod mechanism includes a first connecting rod 1-7 fixed on the side of the upper surface of the main plate 1-2 along the walking direction, the first connecting rod 1-7 and the first articulated seat 1-8 are hinged through a hinge shaft, the first articulated seat 1-8 is fixed on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 1-1, and the first articulated seat 1-8 is hinged to the fixed plate 1-1. The connecting rod mechanism also includes a second articulated seat 1-9, the second articulated seat 1-9 is fixed on the side of the upper surface of the sub-plate 1-3 along the width direction, the second articulated seat 1-9 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 1-10 are hinged through a hinge shaft, the top end of the second connecting rod 1-10 is hinged to the third articulated seat 1-11 through the articulated shaft, and the third articulated seat 1-11 is fixed on the lower surface of the fixed plate 1-1.

[0076] When the vehicle body of this embodiment passes over uneven ground, the main plate 1-2 and the auxiliary plate 1-3 will rotate relative to each other. Due to the action of the connecting rod mechanism, the inclination angle of the fixed plate 1-1 will be reduced, ensuring the stability of the material box 3 during transportation.

[0077] The edges of the main plate 1-2 and the auxiliary plate 1-3 are both provided with upward flanges, and protective covers 1-12 are fixed to the flanges by threaded fasteners such as bolts, etc., and are configured to protect various devices installed on the chassis.

[0078] A gap of a set size is provided between the protective covers 1-12 of the main disk 1-2 and the secondary disk 1-3 to meet the requirement of relative rotation of the main disk 1-2 and the secondary disk 1-3. In order to seal the gap, a sealing plate is provided at the end of the protective cover 1-12 of the main disk 1-2, and the sealing plate extends to the inner side of the protective cover 7 of the secondary disk 1-3, or a sealing plate is provided at the end of the protective cover 1-12 of the secondary disk 1-3, and the sealing plate extends to the inner side of the protective cover 7 of the main disk 1-2.

[0079] In this embodiment, if only a scissors-type lifting mechanism is used to support the pallet 4, the pallet 4 will be unstable during the transportation of the material box 3, resulting in instability in the transportation process of the material box. Therefore, a limiting mechanism 6 is set between the fixed plate 1-1 and the pallet 4, so that when the lifting mechanism 2 is in the retracted state, the fixed plate 1-1 uses the limiting mechanism 6 to limit the shaking of the pallet 4, thereby ensuring the smooth transportation process of the material box 3.

[0080] As shown in Figures 11 to 13, the limiting mechanism 6 includes a tray limiting plug-in component and a tray limiting receiving component 6-1. The tray limiting receiving component 6-1 is fixed to the bottom surface of the tray 4, and the tray limiting plug-in component is fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate 1-1. When the lifting mechanism 2 is in a retracted state, the tray limiting plug-in component and the tray limiting receiving component 6-1 are plugged in to achieve the limitation of the tray 4.

[0081] In this embodiment, the tray limiting receiving component 6-1 is fixed to the two ends of the bottom surface of the tray 4 along the length direction, and correspondingly, the tray limiting plug-in component is fixed to the two ends of the upper surface of the fixing plate 1-1 along the length direction.

[0082] The tray limiting plug-in component is located in the middle of the end of the fixed plate 1 - 1 and between the support frames of the two material box limiting mechanisms 5 .

[0083] The tray limiting plug-in component includes a plug-in component bracket 6-2, which is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1-1. A flexible plug 6-3 is provided on the top of the plug-in component bracket 6-2. Optionally, the flexible plug 6-3 is a conical plug made of rubber material.

[0084] Correspondingly, the tray limit receiving component 6-1 is fixed at the middle position of the end of the tray 4, and a conical slot matching the flexible plug 6-3 is provided at the bottom end of the tray limit receiving component 6-1. The flexible plug 6-3 can be inserted into the slot to realize the plug-in connection between the tray limit plug-in component and the tray limit receiving component 6-1.

[0085] In this embodiment, the plug-in component bracket 6-1 includes a fixing part and a lifting part. The bottom end of the fixing part is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 1-1 by a bolt. The top of the fixing part has a nut, which is threadedly connected to the lifting part. By rotating the lifting part, the lifting movement of the lifting part can be realized. The top end of the lifting part is fixed with the flexible plug 6-3.

[0086] In another embodiment, the fixing portion and the lifting portion are telescopically connected, and the fixing portion is threadedly connected with a locking bolt, and the fixing portion and the telescopic portion are locked and fixed by the locking bolt.

[0087] The plug-in component bracket adopts 6-1 with a fixed part and a lifting part, which can adjust the height of the flexible plug to meet the minimum height requirements of different trays 4, thereby improving the applicability of the entire robot.

[0088] It is understandable that a limiting mechanism 6 may be provided between the two ends of the tray 4 and the fixed plate 1-1 in the width direction, or a limiting mechanism 6 may be provided between the two ends of the tray 4 and the fixed plate 1-1 in the width direction and the two ends in the length direction.

[0089] In another embodiment, the fixed plate 1-1 is installed with a pallet limit receiving component 6-1, and the bottom surface of the pallet 4 is provided with a pallet limit plug-in component that matches the pallet limit receiving component 6-1. Similarly, the pallet limit receiving component 6-1 is arranged at the two ends of the fixed plate 1-1 along the length direction and / or the two ends along the width direction, and the pallet limit plug-in component is arranged at the two ends of the bottom surface of the pallet 4 along the length direction and / or the two ends along the width direction.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the lifting mechanism 2 is folded, the flexible plug 6-3 is inserted into the slot, thereby limiting the position of the pallet 4 so that the pallet 4 does not shake while moving with the vehicle body, thereby ensuring the stability of the material box 3 during transportation.

[0091] The remaining structures of the transport robot of this embodiment can adopt existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0092] The handling robot of this embodiment, through the setting of the limiting mechanism 6 and the main plate 1-2, the auxiliary plate 1-3 and the connecting rod mechanism, can keep the material box stable during the robot's handling process, avoid collision damage to the materials inside the material box 3, and at the same time, through the setting of the material box limiting mechanism 5, meet the limiting requirements for material boxes of different sizes and specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the entire material box handling robot.

[0093] Example 2

[0094] This embodiment provides a transport robot, which differs from the above embodiments in that the cargo picking and placing mechanism is different. The cargo picking and placing mechanism adopts a horizontal cargo picking mechanism, and the material box limiting mechanism 5 and the limiting mechanism 6 are not provided.

[0095] The horizontal pickup mechanism of this embodiment can be an existing telescopic pickup mechanism, such as a telescopic fork, a telescopic clamp, a suction cup, a hook, or a telescopic fork plus suction cup. The telescopic pickup mechanism is detachably mounted on the upper portion of the fixed plate of the vehicle body, and performs cargo pickup and placement operations from the side of the cargo. As shown in FIG14 , a telescopic clamp-type pickup mechanism 7 is mounted on the vehicle body. Alternatively, a horizontal conveying pickup mechanism can be employed, i.e., a set of conveying mechanisms (not shown) detachably mounted on the upper portion of the fixed plate 1-1 of the vehicle body 1. The conveying mechanisms can be motorized conveyor rollers, belt conveyors, or chain conveyors, which can actively move cargo boxes. For example, when a transport robot needs to dock with a conveyor line, the conveying mechanism on the transport robot is activated to retrieve cargo from the conveyor line. Alternatively, a conveying mechanism can be simultaneously mounted on a buffer rack. When the transport robot transports cargo stored on the buffer rack, the conveying mechanism on the buffer rack and the conveying mechanism on the transport robot are activated to complete the cargo pickup and placement.

[0096] In addition, the logistics conveying equipment disclosed in the present invention can be composed of various structures of the above-mentioned embodiments, and can also achieve the above-mentioned effects.

[0097] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present disclosure, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Industrial Applicability

[0098] In summary, the present disclosure provides a handling robot and logistics conveying equipment, which have good stability of the material boxes during transportation, meet the handling needs of various material boxes, and have strong applicability.
