The wide-angle camera 615 transmits and receives information with the upper computer 100 through a wireless transmission module.
The conveying block 61 is fixedly provided with a radio frequency tag, and the conveying block further comprises a radio frequency scanning assembly 64 fixed with the manipulator 90, wherein the radio frequency scanning assembly 64 is used for scanning the radio frequency tag on the conveying block 61, identifying the conveying block and sending information to the upper computer 100;

Thus, the goods 40 are firstly conveyed to the conveying blocks 61 without crossing the two conveying blocks 61, and then when passing through the cassette 62, the wide-angle camera and the light source are started by using a photoelectric switch or a radio frequency scanning mode and the like, images of the goods 40 on the conveying blocks 61 from bottom to top are shot, and the images are transmitted to the upper computer 100. When the article 40 passes through the camera assembly 80, the camera assembly 80 takes pictures of the article from above and below and transmits the image information to the upper computer 100.
At this time, by recognizing the transport block 61, the physical distance between the transport block 61 and the reference point can be known, and further, the physical distance between the transport block 61 and the robot 90 can be obtained. Such distances receive less systematic error in motion speed and image recognition, or even substantially no distance error.
Meanwhile, the positional relationship of the goods 40 on the conveying block 61 is photographed from bottom to top by the wide-angle camera 615. In the process of acquiring the image information, the camera and the goods are relatively static, the accuracy of the acquired image information is higher, and errors are basically avoided.

So, can design longer conveyer belt, and more manipulators, and the precision does not reduce because the belt is longer to improve by a wide margin and snatch efficiency.
Example two
In practical operation, as shown in fig. 1-3, the distance measurement of the reference point can only be intermittent, because it is horizontal distance measurement, and the movement track of the reference point is circular, so if there is only one third distance measurement module 66, the distance measurement can be performed on the upper side or the lower side of the main conveyor belt 60, and real-time distance monitoring cannot be performed.
Therefore, the reflecting plate 616 is fixed to the conveying block 61. The laser ranging system also comprises a second laser ranging module 70, wherein the second laser ranging module 70 is fixed at the determined position of the manipulator 90, and longitudinally emits laser to be matched with the reflector 616 so as to detect the longitudinal distance between the reflector 616 and the second laser ranging module 70;
after the conveying block 61 is identified by the radio frequency tag 617 and the radio frequency scanning component 64, the second laser ranging module 70 detects the longitudinal distance between the end of the reflector 616 on the conveying block 61 and the second laser ranging module 70, and sends the distance information to the upper computer 100, and when the distance between the second laser ranging module 70 and the reflector 616 on the main conveying belt 60 is detected to be within a certain basically determined range, the horizontal distance between any point of the conveying block 61 and the manipulator can be known by matching the sequence of the conveying block 61 identified by scanning, the distance between the second laser ranging module 70 and the manipulator, and the physical position of the reflector 616 on the conveying block 61.
This is actually a second calibration and correction immediately after the transport block 61 enters the operating area.
If the difference between the distance between the conveying block 61 acquired twice and the manipulator and the distance between the conveying block and the manipulator calibrated by the reference point exceeds the preset value, an alarm can be given, and the reason of the problem can be checked in time.
EXAMPLE III
As shown in fig. 1-4, in practice, it is also easy to control errors in order to accurately drop the article 40 into the top film of the transport block 61, without crossing over the two transport blocks 61.
Therefore, a feeding conveyer belt 10, a conveying plate 20, a positioning box 30 and a laser ranging module 31 in the box are additionally arranged;
the feeding conveyer belt 10 is used for bearing the conveying plate 20 and providing transmission power;
the conveying plate 20 is composed of a plurality of groups of rollers which are arranged in parallel, flanges are arranged at two ends of each roller and abut against the feeding conveying belt 10, and adjacent rollers are connected and driven through chains or belts;
the part of the conveying plate 20 extends out of the feeding conveying belt 10 and extends to the upper part of the feeding end of the main conveying belt 60;
the positioning box 30 is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the feeding conveyer belt 10, the positioning box 30 covers the upper side and the side edge of one section of the middle part of the feeding conveyer belt 10, and the positioning box 30 can contain two goods and is positioned in the coating space of the positioning box 30;
the laser ranging module 31 in the positioning box is fixed in the positioning box and is used for detecting the distance between the goods 40 and the longitudinal inner wall of the positioning box 30; the laser ranging module 31 in the box is horizontally arranged as shown in fig. 1.
When the distance is detected to be reduced by the laser ranging module 31 in the box, the goods pass, the advancing distance of the feeding conveyer belt 10 is the length of the goods 40 in the conveying direction when the distance is reduced to recover to the basic value (the distance between the laser ranging module 31 in the box and the inner wall of the positioning box), and when the distance is detected to be reduced again, the advancing distance of the belt is the distance between two adjacent goods 40. The distance information detected by the in-box laser ranging module 31 is sent to the upper computer 100. The upper computer 10 can acquire the length of the goods 40 and the distance between the two goods by detecting the running speed and the timing time of the feeding conveyer belt 10. The distance between the leading end of the article 40 and the blanking end of the transfer plate 20 can be obtained.
By the scanning recognition and the position calibration of the conveying block 61, the distance between the conveying block 61 and the blanking end of the conveying plate 20 can be acquired. Since the running speed of the main conveyor belt 60 is determined, the time for the conveying block 61 to reach the blanking end of the conveying plate 20 is determined. This time is also the time that the goods 40 travel from the loading conveyor 10 to the discharge end.
Thus, by controlling the running speed of the feeding conveyor belt 10, the goods 40 can be accurately conveyed to the conveying blocks 61, and the goods are prevented from crossing over the two conveying blocks 61.
At this time, the distance between the conveying block 61 and the discharging end of the conveying plate 20 may be calibrated by providing the first laser ranging module 50. First laser rangefinder module 50, can vertical setting, also can the level setting, detect the distance between transport block 61 and the laser rangefinder module 50 that becomes horizontal state after bypassing the belt roller during the level setting.
