Fig. 16(a) to 16(e) are schematic diagrams showing various states of the robot arm and a state of the monitor in a multi-function robot according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 13, a functional body can be automatically loaded or unloaded by a movable chassis by using a characteristic that the movable chassis can be lifted, specifically:

as shown in fig. 16(a), when the robot arm 5 needs to be loaded, the moving chassis 1 travels to a rack area, and the robot arm 5 and a display or other functional body are placed on the rack 8;

as shown in fig. 16(b), the moving chassis 1 moves to below the robot arm 5, and the connecting seat 2 is lifted by the lifting mechanism to be in fit connection with the robot arm 5, so as to realize mechanical and electrical connection with the robot arm 5;

as shown in fig. 16(c), after the robot arm 5 is loaded, the moving chassis 1 moves away from the support 8, so that the robot arm 5 can be removed from the support 8;

as shown in fig. 16(d), when the robot arm 5 needs to be unloaded, the mobile chassis 1 travels to a corresponding idle slot on the support area, the assembly height of the robot arm 5 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism and then moves in a direction approaching the support 8, so that the robot arm 5 can be loaded into the idle slot on the support 8, and then the height of the mobile chassis 1 is reduced to complete the unloading operation.

As shown in fig. 16(e), it is also possible to select the matching direction of the functional body by controlling different orientations of the mobile chassis 1, so as to realize that the functional body, such as the display, the mechanical arm 5, etc., has different orientations on the mobile chassis 1, so as to meet the working requirements of the multifunctional robot.
