Example one
The embodiment provides an array type goods conveying and loading method.
Referring to fig. 1, the method for transporting and loading array cargo comprises:
step S101, obtaining a width adjustment parameter corresponding to the width of an external container, and adjusting the width of a first end of a conveying device according to the width adjustment parameter so that the conveying device can convey a row of goods to be loaded corresponding to the width of a carriage;
step S102, extending the first end of the conveying device to a corresponding position to be loaded in the carriage;
step S103, placing at least one row of goods to be loaded at the second end of the conveying device;
step S104, controlling the conveying device to convey the goods to be loaded from the second end to the first end;
and step S105, controlling the mechanical arm to load the goods to be loaded from the first end to the goods to be loaded position.
In this embodiment, a width adjustment parameter corresponding to the width of the external container is obtained by reading manually input data or by laser measurement, and the width of the first end of the conveying device is adjusted according to the width adjustment parameter, so that the conveying device can convey a row of goods to be loaded corresponding to the width of the carriage. Wherein, the conveyer can be around transporting goods to its width about adjustable. The first end of the conveyor is the end that is inserted into the interior of the width of the car. When the goods are conveyed, the width of the first end is adjusted to be slightly smaller than the width of the carriage, so that the first end can extend into the carriage, and a row of goods basically the same as the width of the carriage can be transported at one time.
In this embodiment, after the first end is adjusted, at least one row of goods to be loaded is placed on the second end of the conveyor. Preferably, the width of the second end is substantially the same as the width of the first end, such that a row of goods can be transferred directly from the second end to the first end without adjustment. Of course, it is also possible that the second end is wider than the first end, so that the row of goods can also perform the function of being compacted in the width direction during the transfer to the first end; or the second end may be narrower than the first end, so that the second end needs to be transported to the first end several times more to fully arrange the goods in the width direction of the first end.
In this embodiment, after the tape to-be-loaded goods is placed on the second end, the conveying device is controlled to convey the to-be-loaded goods from the second end to the first end. Wherein, during conveying, the boxes can be placed on the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt is conveyed in a continuous rolling manner; or the boxes can be placed on a conveying tray, and the conveying tray is conveyed in a mode of moving forwards along the guide rail. During the transfer, it is necessary to monitor whether the goods have been transferred to the second end, and when the goods reach the second end, the transfer of the goods is stopped. So that the goods stay at the second end. There are many specific schemes for detecting whether the cargo reaches the second end, for example, by providing a weight sensor at the second end, or by providing an infrared laser sensor at the second end, or by capturing a picture of the second end with a camera, etc.
In this embodiment, after the goods to be loaded are conveyed to the first end, the manipulator is controlled to load the goods to be loaded from the first end to the goods to be loaded position. The manipulator can be of a type moving back and forth on a track, and can also be of a type imitating human joints. Different end effectors are mounted on the manipulator, so that goods can be loaded in different ways. For example, if the end effector comprises a plate which is pushed back and forth, the goods to be loaded can be pushed to the loading position, which is suitable for the case that the loading position is a plane. For another example, the end effector is a suction cup capable of moving up and down, so that the goods to be loaded can be sucked up and then placed to the position to be loaded from top to bottom, which is suitable for the case that the position to be loaded is stepped.
According to the array type cargo conveying and loading method provided by the embodiment, when the array type cargo conveying and loading method works, the width of the conveying device can be adjusted, so that the width of the conveying device can convey a row of cargos basically the same as the width of an external container. Since the width of the row of goods on the conveying device is the same as that of the external container, the position and the posture of the goods to be loaded do not need to be additionally adjusted, and the row of goods only needs to be loaded to the position of the goods to be loaded through the manipulator. Thus, the need for robot control is reduced, thereby improving work efficiency.

Other steps of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment, and reference may be made to the above embodiment for details, which are not described herein again.
In this embodiment, during loading of goods, the position to be loaded and the condition of the goods to be loaded are identified. The position to be loaded can be a row of goods which can be loaded simultaneously, or a plurality of rows of goods which can be loaded simultaneously. For example, when the bottom of the container is generally flat when the bottom is most loaded, multiple rows of cargo can be pushed in simultaneously. For example, when the surface layer formed by the stacked cargos is flat when the intermediate layer is loaded, a plurality of rows of cargos can be pushed in at one time.
According to the array type cargo conveying and loading method provided by the embodiment, when the positions to be loaded are matched with the conditions of the cargos to be loaded, a plurality of rows of cargos to be loaded are simultaneously loaded to the positions to be loaded, so that the loading efficiency can be further improved.
EXAMPLE five
The embodiment provides an array type goods conveying and loading method. The present embodiment is based on the above-described embodiments, and additionally adds a step. The method comprises the following specific steps:

Other steps of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment, and reference may be made to the above embodiment for details, which are not described herein again.
In this embodiment, the position to be loaded is identified at the time of loading the goods. The position to be loaded is identified by calculation through preset boxing data or by shooting a real-time picture through visual shooting equipment and then calculating and identifying in real time.
In this embodiment, after the position to be loaded is identified, when the height difference between the position to be loaded and the top surface of the external container is greater than a preset value, the manipulator is controlled to grab the top surface of the goods to be loaded; otherwise the front side of the goods is grabbed. Wherein, the end effector of manipulator includes the sucking disc, through the angle of adjustment sucking disc, perhaps enables the sucking disc in the different angles to the realization snatchs the different positions of packing box. Therefore, when the height difference between the top surface of the container and the position to be loaded is lower than the preset value, the angle of the sucking disc is adjusted, so that the sucking disc moves transversely to suck the side surface of the to-be-loaded goods, and then the sucking disc moves vertically to control the to-be-loaded goods to move vertically.
According to the method for conveying and loading the array type goods, the height difference between the fixed surface of the container and the position to be loaded is judged, and then the suction cups are controlled to work at different angles. Thereby can avoid the sucking disc to be higher than the goods, and the condition emergence that collides with the top surface of packing box.
