技术领域 technical field
本实用新型涉及装箱系统领域,尤其涉及机器人装箱系统。The utility model relates to the field of packing systems, in particular to a robot packing system.
背景技术 Background technique
机器人装箱系统由于其高精度和高灵活性等诸多优势,被广泛应用于工业生产线中。机器人装箱系统一般包括物品输送线、包装箱输送线、抓取机器人等主要部件。物品输送线输送待装箱的物品,包装箱输送线输送包装箱,抓取机器人则负责从物品输送线抓取待装箱的物品并将其放置于包装箱输送线上的包装箱内,以实现物品装箱。Due to its many advantages such as high precision and high flexibility, the robot packing system is widely used in industrial production lines. The robot packing system generally includes the main components such as the item conveying line, the packing case conveying line, and the grabbing robot. The item conveying line transports the items to be boxed, the packing box conveying line transports the packing boxes, and the grabbing robot is responsible for grabbing the items to be packed from the item conveying line and placing them in the packing boxes on the packing box conveying line, so as to Implement item packing.
在传统的机器人装箱系统中,物品输送线通常以非常快的速度传送待装箱的物品。为与之相匹配,抓取机器人也相应地需要具有非常快的抓取速度,这对机器人的要求非常高。另外,由于抓取机器人抓取速度无法很好与物品输送线的运动保持动态的一致性,从而产生掉包和漏包现象。与此同时,由于抓取机器人抓取动作往往无法与物品输送线的运动保持动态一致,物品输送线还经常需要停止以为机器人提供一个抓取物品的时间。此外,由于现有技术中各个待装箱物品以不均匀的间隔在物品输送线上传输,这样在机器人设置为每次成批抓取待装箱物品的情况下,难免有的抓手没有有效地抓取待装箱物品。这均造成了装箱系统的低效率及稳定性弱等诸多问题。In a traditional robotic case packing system, the item conveyor line usually conveys the items to be cased at a very fast speed. To match it, the grabbing robot also needs to have a very fast grabbing speed, which places very high demands on the robot. In addition, because the grabbing speed of the grabbing robot cannot be well kept in dynamic consistency with the movement of the item conveying line, resulting in dropped and missing packages. At the same time, since the grabbing action of the grabbing robot often cannot be dynamically consistent with the movement of the item conveying line, the item conveying line often needs to be stopped to provide the robot with a time to grab the item. In addition, since each item to be packed is transmitted on the item conveying line at uneven intervals in the prior art, it is inevitable that some grippers are not effective when the robot is set to grab the items to be packed in batches each time. Accurately grab the items to be packed. This has caused many problems such as low efficiency and weak stability of the packing system.

For example, adjustable
在本实用新型的又一优选实施方式中,物品进料输送线101的速度还可以基于上述所感应的信息进行调整。例如,在进入可调速输送线102的物品过多过快时,可以动态地调整物品进料输送线101的速度,例如但不限于控制其的起-停等。In yet another preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the speed of the article feeding conveying
另外,根据本实用新型的实施方式,物品感应装置105的上述感应信息还被传送到机器人控制器中。机器人控制器可以直接根据来自物品感应装置105的上述感应信息来控制抓取机器人的抓取时机。这克服了现有技术中需要在物品输送线上设置检测物品通过机器人工作区域的传感器的问题。In addition, according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the above sensing information of the

物品感应装置105检测到物品后,通过例如发脉冲的方式将所检测到的相关信息通知用于控制可调速输送线102的控制器(图1未示出)。其中,在本实用新型中,物品感应装置105对物品的检测包括但不限于诸如是否有物品从物品进料输送线101进入可调速输送线102、物品从物品进料输送线101进入可调速输送线102的数量和速度、或者规定方向是否一致之类的信息。前一个物品和后一个物品有一定的时间间隔。物品感应装置105也会在感应到后一个物品后发送检测信号给控制器,依此类推,物品106中的每一个均由感应装置105检测到。After the
控制器基于所检测的信息(例如但不限于前后信号之间的时间间隔),依此发出控制可调速输送线102的电机(例如伺服电机或步进式电机)的控制信号,从而使得由电机驱动的可调速输送线102能够根据待装箱物品进入可调速输送线102的状况进行调整,以使可调速输送线102的输送步距符合待装箱物品106进入可调速输送线102的节拍。例如,每当基于物品感应装置105所检测的信息确定一个待装箱物品106已送入可调速输送线102,可调速输送线102被控制为沿其传输方向运动设定大小的步距。这样,如图1所示,可以使得进入可调速输送线102的待装箱物品106按照设定的间隔均匀地在可调速传输线上传送。Based on the detected information (such as but not limited to the time interval between the front and rear signals), the controller sends a control signal to control the motor (such as a servo motor or a stepping motor) of the adjustable
另外,物品感应装置105所感应的信息还被输送到机器人控制器中,机器人控制器可以直接根据来自物品感应装置105的上述感应信息来控制抓取机器人的抓取时机。例如,当物品106进入可调速输送线102输送到机器人104的抓取位置时,机器人控制器发出信号控制机器人104的运行速度和节拍和可调速输送线102的节拍一致。此时可调速输送线102在加/减加速度时都可以和机器人保持同步。一旦一个批次的物品达到机器人104的抓取位置,机器人104就会使用其抓手107抓取该批次的物品放进包装箱或容器中,完成装箱动作。In addition, the information sensed by the
在本实用新型的一个可选实施方式中,机器人104可以被设置携带有多个抓手,由此每次抓取动作同时抓取多个待装箱物品。可选地,机器人可以被设置携带有多个抓手,每个抓手依次抓取待装箱物品,然后将抓取的物品放置于包装箱内。根据本实用新型的实施方式,机器人104的抓手107可以为真空吸盘,除此之外,其还可以是其它类型的抓手,诸如夹板式抓手、手指抽拉式抓手之类的其它装箱系统的常用抓手。In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the
图2示出了根据本实用新型另一实施方式的、其中采用PLC或工控机控制可调速输送线的装箱系统200的示意性图示。如图2所示,在装箱系统200中,机器人104与机器人控制器201构成一个控制系统,而可调速输送线102、伺服电机或步进电机203、物品感应装置105(例如传感器)以及可编程控制器PLC或工控机202构成另一控制系统,其中PLC或工控机与物品感应装置105耦合,并且配置为基于所感应的信息来调整可调速输送线102的运动。图2所示实施方式其他部分与图1所示实施方式相同,在此省略对其的详细描述。Fig. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a
图3示出了对图2示出的装箱系统200的一个改进的装箱系统300,其中采用机器人控制器201’来控制可调速输送线102的运动。如图3所示,机器人控制器201’与物品感应装置105耦合,并被配置为基于所感应的信息来调整可调速输送线102的运动。FIG. 3 shows an improved
在本实用新型的优选实施方式中,机器人控制器被配置为基于所感应的信息使机器人104的抓取与可调速输送线102的运动动态地保持一致。In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the robot controller is configured to dynamically align the grasping of the
在本实用新型的可选实施方式中,机器人控制器201’进一步被配置为基于所感应的信息来确定可调速输送线102上待装箱物品已传输到抓取机器人104的抓取位置,继而控制抓取机器人104抓取设定数量的待装箱物品,并将其放置在包装箱输送线上的包装箱内。In an optional embodiment of the present utility model, the robot controller 201' is further configured to determine, based on the sensed information, the grasping position on the adjustable-
在本实用新型的进一步可选实施方式中,机器人104被设置为每次抓取多个待装箱物品。In a further optional embodiment of the present utility model, the
图3所示实施方式其他部分与图1所示实施方式相同,在此省略对其的详细描述。Other parts of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 are the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , and a detailed description thereof is omitted here.
图3所示的装箱系统300与图2所示的装箱系统200相比,不再需要PLC或工控机,而是由机器人控制器201’直接控制可调速输送线102。其控制流程如下:Compared with the
1.当例如一个物品从物品来料输送线进入可调速输送线而来时,物品感应装置105会检测到该到来的物品,并向机器人控制器201’发出感应信号。1. For example, when an item enters the adjustable-speed conveying line from the incoming item conveying line, the
2.机器人控制器201’根据接收到的感应信号控制可调速输送线102移动一个步长,具体的控制步骤与前文参照图1所描述的装箱系统100的工作过程的具体示例的相应控制步骤相同,并且步长可以根据物品大小预定义。2. The robot controller 201' controls the adjustable-
3.机器人控制器201’计算在可调速输送线102中的物品数量。当确定在机器人104工作区域的可调速输送线102中的物品足够机器人抓手的一次夹取时,机器人控制器201’将控制机器人的抓手107拾取可调速输送线102中的物品。机器人104的移动根据可调速输送线102的运动来控制。3. The robot controller 201' counts the number of items in the adjustable
从上述控制流程并结合图3可以看出,物品来料输送线101、可调速输送线102以及机器人104均由一个控制器,即机器人控制器201’控制,这样最大化地实时优化了周期时间并同时保证了安全性。如果在协调运动的期间发生任何问题或错误,机器人控制器201’仍然可以根据需要协调所有的动作并且停止任何动作。It can be seen from the above control flow combined with Fig. 3 that the incoming
具体而言,采用机器人控制器201’来控制可调速输送线102和物品感应装置105的装箱系统300至少包括如下创新之处:Specifically, the
1.减少了控制系统中的一个PLC控制器或工控机,从而减少了控制环节的元器件,降低了成本,同时也使系统的故障降低,减少了维修成本,因此提高了系统的稳定性;1. One PLC controller or industrial computer in the control system is reduced, thereby reducing the components of the control link, reducing the cost, and at the same time reducing the failure of the system and reducing the maintenance cost, thus improving the stability of the system;
2.采用物品感应装置105直接由机器人控制器201’控制的方式,减少了由于输送线在很快的加/减速度时送料的漏包和缺包的现象,减少了停机的现象;2. Adopt the method that the
3.由于机器人控制器201’直接控制可调速输送线102,使得机器人104的抓取动作和可调速输送线102步进的步序保证同步,从而机器人104的抓取位置更准确,由此减少了机器人抓取的掉包现象,达到了更快的装箱速度,提高了系统的效率。3. Since the robot controller 201' directly controls the speed-adjustable conveying
