相关技术中,由于地面的平整度不一致,有的地面存在高低不平的情况,导致搬运装置的驱动轮不易与地面接触,存在驱动轮打滑的情况,进而驱动轮无法驱动搬运装置的搬运臂正常运动,阻碍搬运装置的正常搬运过程。
本申请实施例的目的是提供一种搬运装置及搬运方法,能够解决相关技术中由于地面的平整度不一致导致搬运装置的驱动轮打滑、阻碍搬运过程的问题。
下面结合附图,通过具体的实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的搬运装置及搬运方法进行详细地说明。
请参考图1-图10,本申请实施例公开的搬运装置包括车体100、搬运臂200和浮动连接组件300,其中,车体100相对于地面可运动,搬运臂200与车体100活动连接,具体地,搬运臂200可相对于车体100在第一方向上滑动,第一方向为搬运臂200的延伸方向。在本实施例中,车体100设有容纳槽111,搬运臂200相对于车体100在第一方向上滑动的过程中,搬运臂200可以伸入容纳槽111内或从容纳槽111伸出。
浮动连接组件300分别与车体100和搬运臂200相连,搬运臂200可通过浮动连接 组件300相对于车体100在第二方向上运动,第二方向为车体100的高度方向,此处指搬运臂200的整体结构在第二方向上运动。在一个实施例中,浮动连接组件300可以包括导向配合的导轨和导向块,导轨沿第二方向设置,导轨和导向块中的一者与车体100相连,导轨和导向块中的另一者与搬运臂200相连,搬运臂200可以相对于车体100在第二方向上滑动(如图4中的直线箭头所示),如此,通过搬运臂200在第二方向上的滑动过程,能够实现搬运臂200相对于车体100在第二方向上的运动。在另一实施例中,浮动连接组件300也可以包括轴套和柱体,轴套套设在柱体的外部,且轴套与柱体转动配合,轴套和柱体中的一者与车体100相连,轴套和柱体中的另一者与搬运臂200相连,如此,搬运臂200也可以相对于车体100转动(例如,搬运臂200可以相对于车体100做俯仰运动,如图4中的曲线箭头所示),通过搬运臂200的转动过程,也能够实现搬运臂200相对于车体100在第二方向上的运动。当然,搬运臂200可以既相对于车体100在第二方向上滑动,又相对于车体100转动。总之,无论哪种情况,只要能够实现搬运臂200相对于车体100在第二方向上的运动即可。
如图2和图4所示,搬运臂200可转动地设有驱动轮220,驱动轮220驱动搬运臂200相对于车体100在第一方向上滑动。具体地,搬运臂200的内部设有第一驱动机构,第一驱动机构与驱动轮220相连,从而对驱动轮220进行驱动,驱动轮220转动并带动搬运臂200沿第一方向相对于车体100滑动。
在本实施例中,搬运装置为自动导引运输车(AGV,Automated Guided Vehicle),可以用于搬运各种类型的货物和货架。
搬运臂200可通过浮动连接组件300相对于车体100在第二方向上运动。如此设置,在地面的平整度不一致的情况下,即地面高低不平,驱动轮220和搬运臂200可相对于车体100在车体100的高度方向上运动一定距离。具体地,在搬运装置遇到位置较高的地面的情况下,凸起的地面会向驱动轮220施加作用力,进而驱动搬运臂200在车体100的高度方向上向上运动,驱动轮220随搬运臂200在车体100的高度方向上向上运动,从而使驱动轮220与凸起的地面持续接触;在搬运装置遇到位置较低的地面的情况下,由于地面向下凹陷,搬运臂200在自身的重力作用下,能够在车体100的高度方向上向下运动,驱动轮220随搬运臂200在车体100的高度方向上向下运动,从而使驱动轮220与凹陷的地面持续接触。因此,通过搬运臂200相对于车体100在车体100的高度方向上运动,使驱动轮220的位置改变,以适应不平整的地面,保证驱动轮220与地面持续接触,避免驱动轮220打滑而无法驱动搬运臂200运动的情况,避免影响搬运装置的搬 运过程。
在可选的实施例中,如图5所示,浮动连接组件300包括第一连接件310和第二连接件320。其中,第一连接件310与搬运臂200沿第一方向滑动连接,第一连接件310和车体100中的一者与第二连接件320沿第二方向滑动连接,第一连接件310和车体100中的另一者与第二连接件320转动连接。可选地,可以是第一连接件310与第二连接件320沿第二方向滑动连接,车体100与第二连接件320转动连接;也可以是车体100与第二连接件320沿第二方向滑动连接,第一连接件310与第二连接件320转动连接。
具体地,第一连接件310与搬运臂200之间、第一连接件310和车体100中的一者与第二连接件320之间均可以通过滑块和滑轨相配合的结构实现滑动连接,当然,也可以通过其它结构实现滑动连接。第一连接件310和车体100中的另一者可以与第二连接件320相铰接,也可以通过其它结构实现转动连接。
如此设置,搬运臂200既可以相对于车体100在第二方向上滑动,又可以相对于车体100转动,搬运臂200通过滑动和转动相结合的方式来使驱动轮220更好地接触地面,对地面的不平整性的适应效果更好。
在本实施例中,如图5所示,第二连接件320包括第一滑块321和转动基座322,车体100设有第二导轨600,第一滑块321与第二导轨600导向配合,从而实现第二连接件320与车体100滑动连接。第一连接件310包括转轴,转动基座322设有轴孔,转轴伸入轴孔内,且转动基座322与转轴转动配合,即转轴相对于轴孔可转动,从而实现第一连接件310与第二连接件320转动连接。
通过第二导轨600与第一滑块321的配合作用,对搬运臂200相对于车体100的滑动方向施加导向,避免浮动连接组件300和搬运臂200相对于车体100的运动方向发生偏移。
在本实施例中,搬运臂200相对于车体100的转动轴线平行于搬运臂200的宽度方向。也就是说,轴孔和转轴的轴线方向均平行于搬运臂200的宽度方向。当然,在其它实施例中,搬运臂200相对于车体100的转动轴线可以相交于搬运臂200的宽度方向,可选地,搬运臂200相对于车体100的转动轴线可以平行于搬运臂200的延伸方向(即,第一方向)。
在搬运臂200的宽度方向上,搬运臂200具有相背的第一侧和第二侧。搬运臂200相对于车体100的转动轴线平行于搬运臂200的宽度方向时,搬运臂200的第一侧和第 二侧的运动一致,避免第一侧和第二侧在车体100的高度方向上的位置不一致,而导致搬运臂200倾斜的情况。
可选地,浮动连接组件300的数量为至少两个,在搬运臂200的宽度方向上,搬运臂200具有相背的第一侧和第二侧,至少两个浮动连接组件300分别设于第一侧和第二侧,也就是说,搬运臂200的第一侧和第二侧分别设有至少一个浮动连接组件300。
在本实施例中,搬运臂200的数量为至少两个,且间隔设置。各个搬运臂200的第一侧和第二侧分别设有浮动连接组件300,浮动连接组件300的第一连接件310与搬运臂200滑动连接,第一连接件310与第二连接件320转动连接,而且,浮动连接组件300的第二连接件320与车体100滑动连接。
通过至少两个浮动连接组件300,车体100对搬运臂200的两侧均提供滑动支撑作用和转动支撑作用,保证搬运臂200在第二方向上的运动过程中的稳定性。
在本申请的实施例中,如图10所示,车体100包括车本体110和第一轮组120,第一轮组120包括第一轮体121、第二轮体122、第一连接桥123、第二连接桥124和连接杆125,第一连接桥123和第二连接桥124均具有第一连接部、第二连接部和第三连接部。其中,第二连接部位于第一连接部和第三连接部之间,第一连接桥123的第一连接部与第一轮体121转动连接,第二连接桥124的第一连接部与第二轮体122转动连接,第一连接桥123的第二连接部和第二连接桥124的第二连接部均与车本体110转动连接,且第一连接桥123的第三连接部与连接杆125的第一端转动连接,第二连接桥124的第三连接部与连接杆125的第二端转动连接。
在本实施例中,连接杆125的长度可以小于或等于第一连接桥123的第二连接部与第二连接桥124的第二连接部之间的距离。
具体地,第二连接部与车本体110之间、第三连接部与连接杆125的端部之间可以相铰接,也可以通过其它方式实现转动连接。第一连接桥123可以设置第一开槽与第一轴孔,第一开槽与第一轴孔相连通,第一轮体121伸入第一开槽内,且第一轮体121的轮轴伸入第一轴孔,轮轴与第一轴孔转动配合,从而实现第一轮体121与第一连接桥123之间的相对转动。同样地,第二轮体122与第二连接桥124之间也可以采用该结构。当然,第一轮体121与第一连接桥123之间、第二轮体122与第二连接桥124之间也可以采用其它结构实现转动连接。
在本实施例中,第一轮体121和第二轮体122为万向轮,即第一轮体121通过万向 节与第一连接桥123相连,第二轮体122通过万向节与第二连接桥124相连。这样一来,第一轮体121和第二轮体122能够全方位转动。
第一连接桥123的第二连接部和第二连接桥124的第二连接部的位置固定,第二连接部为转动支点。在第一轮体121受力时,第一轮体121相对于第一连接桥123的第二连接部转动,进而带动第一连接桥123相对于车本体110转动,第一连接桥123通过连接杆125驱动第二连接桥124运动,以使第二连接桥124带动第二轮体122相对于车本体110转动,反之亦然。
具体地,在第一轮体121受地面的作用力上升时,第一连接桥123的第一连接部上升、第三连接部下降,即连接杆125的第一端的位置下降,由于连接杆125的长度固定,且连接杆125的第二端受第二连接桥124的第二连接部的牵制作用,导致连接杆125无法整体下降,连接杆125的第二端翘起上升,也就是第二连接桥124的第三连接部上升,进而第二连接桥124的第一连接部下降,即第二轮体122的位置下降。同样地,在第二轮体122受地面的作用力上升时,第一轮体121下降。
如此设置,在车体100遇到不平整的地面时,第一轮体121和第二轮体122中的一者能够上升,第一轮体121和第二轮体122中的另一者能够下降,以适应地面情况,提高车体100对不平整的地面的适应性,保证第一轮体121和第二轮体122均与地面持续接触,避免第一轮体121和第二轮体122出现打滑情况,保持搬运装置运动过程中的稳定性。
在可选的实施例中,如图9所示,车体100还包括第二轮组130,第二轮组130包括第三轮体131、第四轮体132和第三连接桥133,第三连接桥133与车本体110转动连接,且第三连接桥133与车本体110的连接处位于第三连接桥133的第一端和第三连接桥133的第二端之间,第三轮体131与第三连接桥133的第一端转动连接,第四轮体132与第三连接桥133的第二端转动连接。
其中,第三连接桥133与车本体110可以通过铰接方式实现转动连接,也可以通过其它方式实现转动连接。第三连接桥133的第一端可以设置第二开槽与第二轴孔,第三轮体131伸入第二开槽内,且第三轮体131的轮轴伸入第二轴孔,轮轴与第二轴孔转动配合,从而实现第三轮体131与第三连接桥133之间的相对转动。同样地,第四轮体132与第三连接桥133之间也可以采用该结构。当然,第三轮体131与第三连接桥133之间、第四轮体132与第三连接桥133之间也可以采用其它结构实现转动连接。在本实施例中,第三轮体131和第四轮体132可以为万向轮。
具体地,由于第三连接桥133与车本体110的连接处的位置固定,以该连接处为支点,第三轮体131和第四轮体132均可以绕该支点转动。具体来说,第三轮体131绕支点相对于车本体110升高时,第四轮体132绕支点相对于车本体110下降,反之,第三轮体131绕支点相对于车本体110下降时,第四轮体132绕支点相对于车本体110上升。
在车体100遇到不平整的地面时,第三轮体131和第四轮体132能够绕支点转动,以适应地面情况,提高车体100对不平整的地面的适应性,保证第三轮体131和第四轮体132均与地面持续接触,避免第三轮体131和第四轮体132出现打滑情况,保持搬运装置运动过程中的稳定性。
可选地,车本体110设有容纳槽111,容纳槽111具有槽口,至少部分搬运臂200设于容纳槽111中,驱动轮220驱动搬运臂200通过槽口伸入容纳槽111或通过槽口从容纳槽111伸出。第一轮组120和第二轮组130中的一者的数量为至少两个,第一轮组120和第二轮组130中的一者的其中两个分别设于容纳槽111的两侧,第一轮组120和第二轮组130中的另一者设于容纳槽111的背离槽口的一侧。在本实施例中,如图1所示,容纳槽111和搬运臂200的数量均为至少两个,且一一对应,两个第二轮组130分别设置在两个容纳槽111的相互背离的两个侧部,第一轮组120设置在容纳槽111的背离槽口的一侧。
而且,车本体110设有用于驱动第四轮体132转动的第二驱动机构,故第四轮体132为主动轮,第一轮体121、第二轮体122和第三轮体131均为被动轮。第四轮体132的转动带动车体100相对于地面运动,进一步车体100带动第一轮体121、第二轮体122和第三轮体131转动。在本实施例中,第四轮体132位于第三轮体131和第一轮组120之间,即主动轮位于车本体110的中间位置,相比于将主动轮设于车本体110的边缘位置,车体100在运动过程中的稳定性更好。
在本实施例中,如图6所示,搬运臂200包括支撑底板211、支撑顶板212和举升机构213。支撑底板211与车体100活动连接,具体地,支撑底板211与浮动连接组件300的第一连接件310沿第一方向滑动连接,驱动轮220可转动地设置于支撑底板211。举升机构213设于支撑底板211与支撑顶板212之间,且举升机构213的两端分别与支撑底板211和支撑顶板212相连,在举升机构213收缩或伸长时,支撑底板211和支撑顶板212相互靠近或远离。需要说明的是,举升机构213收缩或伸长的方向为车体100或搬运臂200的高度方向(即,第二方向)。
可选地,举升机构213可以为伸缩缸,伸缩缸的两端分别与支撑底板211和支撑顶 板212相连。当然,如图6和图7所示,为使举升机构213具有较为紧凑的结构,举升机构213也可以采用可折叠结构。总之,通过举升机构213自身的伸缩动作实现支撑底板211和支撑顶板212的相互靠近或远离即可。
在搬运臂200回缩至容纳槽111的过程中,通过举升机构213的伸长和收缩实现搬运臂200对货物的抬起和下放,使货物有效避开障碍物,便于将货物顺利搬运至车体100的上端面。而且,通过举升机构213的收缩使搬运臂200能够收容于车体100内,减小占用空间。
在使用搬运臂200搬运货物时,车体100运动至货物附近,驱动轮220驱动搬运臂200伸出至容纳槽111之外,此时举升机构213处于收缩状态,搬运臂200可插入货物的底部,使货物落于支撑顶板212上;然后举升机构213伸长,支撑顶板212上升并举升起货物,驱动轮220再驱动搬运臂200缩回至容纳槽111内,此时货物位于车体100的上方,最后举升机构213收缩,支撑顶板212下降,以使货物落于车体100上,车体100即可将货物运送至目标位置。
在可选的实施例中,如图2和图3所示,车体100设有第一定位部410,搬运臂200设有第二定位部420,在搬运臂200处于缩回状态的情况下,第一定位部410和第二定位部420在第二方向上定位配合,此处对第一定位部410和第二定位部420的具体结构不做限制。本实施例中,第一定位部410设置在容纳槽111的侧壁上,第二定位部420设置在支撑顶板212上。需要说明的是,此处的搬运臂200处于缩回状态指搬运臂200位于容纳槽111之内的状态。
通过第一定位部410和第二定位部420的定位配合,避免搬运臂200沿车体100的高度方向(即,第二方向)相对于车体100运动。并且,在举升机构213收缩时,支撑底板211与支撑顶板212之间的距离缩小,而支撑顶板212通过第二定位部420和第一定位部410的定位配合结构相对于车体100固定,因此,支撑底板211相对于车体100向上运动,驱动轮220随支撑底板211向上运动,故驱动轮220处于悬空状态,进而避免驱动轮220与地面接触而阻碍车体100的运动过程。
在可选的实施例中,第一定位部410和第二定位部420中的一者设有定位凸起421,第一定位部410和第二定位部420中的另一者设有定位槽411。在搬运臂200处于缩回状态的情况下,定位凸起421与定位槽411在第二方向上定位配合。可选地,可以是第一定位部410设有定位凸起421,第二定位部420设有定位槽411。如图8所示,也可以是第一定位部410设有定位槽411,第二定位部420设有定位凸起421。此处对定位 凸起421和定位槽411的具体结构不做限制,定位凸起421和定位槽411的形状相同。
在本实施例中,如图8所示,定位槽411和定位凸起421呈倒锥状,这样一来,定位槽411的槽口面积较大,定位凸起421较容易对准定位槽411并伸入定位槽411内。
通过定位槽411和定位凸起421相配合,对第一定位部410和第二定位部420的相对位置进行限制,进而对搬运臂200进行限位,避免搬运臂200相对于车体100晃动。
可选地,在搬运臂200处于缩回状态的情况下,第一定位部410和第二定位部420磁吸配合。具体地,可以是第一定位部410和第二定位部420均为磁吸件,第一定位部410和第二定位部420直接磁吸配合;也可以在第一定位部410和第二定位部420上分别设置磁吸部412,第一定位部410和第二定位部420通过磁吸部412磁吸配合。
通过第一定位部410和第二定位部420磁吸配合,可以增大第一定位部410和第二定位部420之间的吸引力,进一步保持第一定位部410和第二定位部420的相对位置固定,提高第一定位部410和第二定位部420之间的稳定性。而且,磁吸作用有利于第一定位部410和第二定位部420之间的自动对准。
可选地,第一定位部410和第二定位部420的数量均为至少两个、且一一对应。在搬运臂200的宽度方向上,搬运臂200具有相背的第一侧和第二侧,至少两个第二定位部420分别设于第一侧和第二侧,也就是说,第一侧和第二侧分别设有至少一个第二定位部420。而且,至少两个第一定位部410分别设于容纳槽111沿宽度方向相对的两个侧壁上。
在本实施例中,各个搬运臂200的第一侧和第二侧均设有至少两个第二定位部420,位于第一侧的第二定位部420或者位于第二侧的第二定位部420沿第一方向间隔设置,同样地,位于容纳槽111同一侧壁上的第一定位部410沿容纳槽111的长度方向间隔设置。而且,各组相对应的第一定位部410和第二定位部420之间均通过定位凸起421和定位槽411实现定位配合,同时,各组相对应的第一定位部410和第二定位部420之间磁吸配合。
此时,搬运臂200的第一侧和第二侧均通过第一定位部410和第二定位部420实现与车体100的定位配合,避免第一侧和第二侧中的任何一侧沿第二方向相对于车体100运动,搬运臂200在悬空状态下的稳定性得到提升。
在可选的实施例中,如图3和图4所示,搬运臂200包括臂体210,搬运装置还 包括第一导轨500,第一导轨500与车体100沿第一方向滑动连接,臂体210与第一导轨500沿第一方向滑动连接。具体地,第一导轨500与第一连接件310滑动连接,其中,第一连接件310可以为滑块,第一导轨500与滑块导向配合;而且,臂体210包括上述的支撑顶板212、支撑底板211和举升机构213,支撑底板211与第一导轨500滑动连接,其中,支撑底板211的边缘可以与第一导轨500导向配合。
当然,在其它实施例中,臂体210的支撑底板211可以直接与第一连接件310滑动连接。
通过增加第一导轨500,可以延长臂体210沿第一方向的滑动行程,搬运臂200能够伸出足够的长度来接触货物,保证货物搬运过程的正常进行。
基于本申请公开的搬运装置,本申请实施例还公开一种搬运方法,搬运方法包括步骤S100-S500。
在步骤S100、控制驱动轮220与地面接触。
在步骤S200、控制搬运臂200和车体100中的至少一者沿搬运臂200的延伸方向运动,以使搬运臂200的至少部分伸出至容纳槽111之外,并插入货物的下方。可选地,可以控制搬运臂200沿自身延伸方向滑动,且控制车体100相对于地面的位置不变;可以控制车体100沿搬运臂200的延伸方向运动,且控制搬运臂200相对于地面的位置不变;也可以控制搬运臂200和车体100均沿搬运臂200的延伸方向运动,搬运臂200的滑动方向与车体100的运动方向相反。
在搬运臂200的至少部分伸出至容纳槽111之外后,由于举升机构213处于伸长状态,搬运臂200在高度方向上的尺寸过大,无法直接插入货物下方,因此,需先控制举升机构213收缩,缩小搬运臂200在高度方向上的尺寸,再控制搬运臂200和车体100中的至少一者沿搬运臂200的延伸方向继续运动,以使搬运臂200插入货物的下方。
在步骤S300、控制搬运臂200的举升机构213伸长,以使搬运臂200的支撑顶板212抬升货物。如此,将货物抬起一定高度,方便后续货物能够置于车体100的上端面。
在步骤S400、控制搬运臂200和车体100中的至少一者沿搬运臂200的延伸方向运动,以使搬运臂200缩回至容纳槽111之内。可选地,可以控制搬运臂200沿自身延伸方向滑动,且控制车体100相对于地面的位置不变,此时搬运臂200的滑动方向与步骤S200中搬运臂200的滑动方向相反;可以控制车体100沿搬运臂200的延伸方向 运动,且控制搬运臂200相对于地面的位置不变,此时车体100的运动方向与步骤S200中车体100的运动方向相反;也可以控制搬运臂200和车体100均沿搬运臂200的延伸方向运动,搬运臂200的滑动方向与车体100的运动方向相反。
在步骤S500、控制举升机构213收缩,以使支撑顶板212在车体100的高度方向上向下运动,直至货物置于车体100上。
在可选的实施例中,控制驱动轮220与地面接触,包括步骤S110-S140。
在步骤S110、控制车体100的第一定位部410和搬运臂200的第二定位部420定位配合以及控制搬运臂200的举升机构213收缩,以使驱动轮220处于悬空状态。此为搬运臂200处于未使用状态下的情况,如图1和图2所示,驱动轮220与地面未接触,在后续车体100运动的过程中,避免驱动轮220与地面接触而阻碍车体100运动。
在步骤S120、控制车体100运动至目标位置。可选地,车体100的底部设有第一轮组120和第二轮组130,通过驱动第一轮组120和第二轮组130运动来带动车体100运动至目标位置。
在步骤S130、控制举升机构213伸长。由于第一定位部410和第二定位部420定位配合,故支撑顶板212相对于车体100在车体100的高度方向上的位置不变,支撑底板211和驱动轮220在车体100的高度方向上向下运动,直至驱动轮220与地面接触。
在步骤S140、控制举升机构213继续伸长。由于驱动轮220与地面接触,支撑底板211的位置不变,故支撑顶板212在车体100的高度方向上向上运动,直至第一定位部410和第二定位部420分离时举升机构213停止伸长。由于第一定位部410和第二定位部420解除定位配合,故第一定位部410和第二定位部420不再阻碍搬运臂200后续沿搬运臂200的延伸方向相对于车体100滑动。
在可选的实施例中,在搬运臂200缩回至容纳槽111之内之后,搬运方法还包括步骤S600和S700。
在步骤S600、控制举升机构213收缩,直至货物置于车体100上且车体100的第一定位部410和搬运臂200的第二定位部420定位配合。具体地,在支撑顶板212下降的过程中,货物先置于车体100的上端面,然后第一定位部410和第二定位部420再定位配合。
在步骤S700、控制举升机构213继续收缩,以使支撑底板211和驱动轮220在车体100的高度方向上向上运动,直至驱动轮220恢复至悬空状态。由于第一定位部410 和第二定位部420定位配合后,支撑顶板212相对于车体100在高度方向上的位置固定,故举升机构213收缩时支撑底板211向上运动,驱动轮220随支撑底板211向上运动,直至驱动轮220与地面分离,此时搬运臂200恢复至未使用状态,待下次再搬运货物时,重复上述步骤S100-S700即可。
如此设置,采用上述搬运方法,根据地面的情况改变搬运臂200和驱动轮220在车体100的高度方向上的位置,以适应不平整的地面,保证驱动轮220与地面持续接触,避免驱动轮220打滑而无法驱动搬运臂200运动的情况。而且,在车体100的运动过程中,驱动轮220能够处于悬空状态,避免驱动轮220与地面接触而阻碍车体100的运动过程。
上面结合附图对本申请的实施例进行了描述,但是本申请并不局限于上述的具体实施方式。上述的具体实施方式仅仅是示意性的,而不是限制性的。本领域的普通技术人员在本申请的启示下,在不脱离本申请宗旨和权利要求所保护的范围的情况下,还可做出很多形式,均属于本申请的保护之内。
