基于上述硬件结构,提出本发明托盘自动运输方法实施例。
参照图2,图2为本发明托盘自动运输方法第一实施例的流程示意图。
在第一实施例中,所述托盘自动运输方法基于移动机器人,所述移动机器人包括控制器、车体及叉齿;所述控制器和所述叉齿设于所述车体上,所述托盘自动运输方法包括以下步骤:
步骤S10、响应于搬运指令控制车体移动到货物位置,并锁定所述货物位置对应的目标托盘。
需要说明的是,所述搬运指令为预先设置的用对目标指定货物的目标托盘进行搬运的指令,所述搬运指令可以是通过控制中心发送的即时命令生成,也可以是预先设置在移动机器人内部的一定周期内的指令,例如将当天需要进行搬运的货物预先录入在移动机器人内,使所述移动机器人根据搬运指令进行搬运;通过所述搬运指令可以确定货物位置以及对应的目标托盘,所述移动机器人包括控制器、车体和叉齿,当然还可以包括更多的配置,本实施例对此不加以限制。
步骤S20、控制所述叉齿伸出,伸进所述目标托盘的插孔中。
可以理解的是,在确定了所述目标托盘的位置后,可以将所述叉齿伸进所述目标托盘的插孔中,为后续托起托盘做准备。

获取所述目标托盘的插孔的插孔位置,根据所述插孔位置移动所述车体,以使所述移动机器人的叉齿对准所述插孔;
控制所述叉齿从所述叉齿槽中伸出,伸进所述目标托盘的插孔中。
应当理解的是,所述目标托盘的插孔的插孔位置由于不同的托盘规格会存在布置上的不同,此时通过确定所述目标托盘的插孔位置后可以移动所述移动机器人通过调节叉齿的距离和高度使所述叉齿对准所述插孔,所述叉齿对准所述插孔可以利用红外线探测的方式确认、也可以通过微型摄像头进行图像识别确认,当然还可以是通过其他方式确认,本实施例对此不加以限制;在所述叉齿对准了所述插孔后,可以控制所述叉齿伸进所述插孔中,所述叉齿对应的叉齿超威可以设置在所述移动机器人的外部两端,也可以设置在所述移动机器人的内部,呈伸缩状,当然也可以为其他结构设置,本实施例对此不加以限制。
步骤S30、在所述叉齿伸出预设长度后,将所述目标托盘举升至预设高度,所述预设高度高于所述车体的高度。
应当理解的是,在所述叉齿伸出预设长度后,所述预设长度为通过所述目标托盘的插孔长度预估的长度,可以通过红外、摄像、雷达或其他传感器的检测方式预估所述预设长度,当然也可以是通过其他方式确定预设长度,本实施例对此不加以限制;将所述目标托盘举升至预设高度,所述预设高度高于所述车体的高度,即保证所述目标托盘的底面最低位置比所述车体的高度高,所述预设高度为预先设置的托举高度,所述预设高度一般设置为高于所述车体的高度,方便后续移动机器人的车体移动进入。
步骤S40、保持所述叉齿与所述目标托盘之间的相对静止状态,并移动所述车体至所述目标托盘的下方。
可以理解的是,保持所述叉齿与所述目标托盘之间的相对静止状态可以使托盘的举升变成一个静载荷,减少了对叉臂机构和回收驱动力的要求,可以通过并移动所述车体至所述目标托盘的下方,通过所述移动机器人的车体相对运 动,可以保证叉齿举升,不发生运动,减少对移动机器人本体配重的要求,更加轻量化。
进一步地,所述步骤S40具体包括以下步骤:

在具体实现中,通过所述叉齿与所述车体自检的连接机构保持所述叉齿与所述目标托盘的相对静止状态,进而使得所述车体移动至所述目标托盘的垂直下方,所述移动机器人的搬运过程可以如图3所示,图3为本发明托盘自动运输方法运输过程示意图,如图3所示,所述车体001首先将所述叉齿002从所述叉齿槽中伸出,将所述叉齿002插入所述托盘003后,将所述托盘003托举至预设高度;再通过连接机构004使得所述叉齿002和托盘003相对于地面DM静止不动,车体001从A点移动至B点,即车体001向前运动进入到托盘003底下,车体001的初始位置在A点,将所述托盘003托举至预设高度之后,插齿002和托盘003的位置在B点,整过过程,所述车体001由A点向B点运动,而叉齿002和托盘003则保持在B点的位置静止不动,不发生运动,减少对所述车体001配重的要求,使搬运过程更加轻量化。
步骤S50、下降所述叉齿直至所述目标托盘落于所述车体上,通过所述车体将所述目标托盘移动至所述搬运指令对应的目标位置。
应当理解的是,在所述车体进入所述目标托盘的底下后,可以控制所述叉齿下降,进而将所述目标托盘防盗所述移动机器人的本体上,进而开始移动所述目标托盘至对应的目标位置,即送达到需要搬运到的位置,在整个搬运过程中,所述移动机器人的本体承受托盘的重量,可以得到更大的负载能力,更加稳定,且叉齿在移动托盘的过程中不受力,减少了对叉齿机构的压力和运动冲击,提高了移动机器人的可靠性和使用寿命。
进一步地,所述步骤S50之后,所述托盘自动运输方法还包括以下步骤:
将所述目标托盘举升至所述预设高度;
保持所述叉齿与所述目标托盘之间的相对静止状态,移动所述车体直至所述目标车体移出所述目标位置;
