A Pallet Exchange Mechanism Suitable for Mobile Robots

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of cargo loading and unloading accessory devices and particularly discloses a pallet exchange mechanism suitable for a mobile robot. The pallet exchange mechanism comprises a supporting module, a pallet conveying module, a pull rod module and a rotary disc module. The supporting module is contained in a chassis of the moving robot. The pallet conveying module is arranged on one side of the rotary disc module and can be retracted into the chassis of the mobile robot. The pull rod module is arranged on the other side of the rotary disc module and is used for horizontally moving empty pallets not loaded with cargoes, and the rotary disc module is used for achieving rotating movement of the empty pallets not loaded with cargoes. By means of the pallet exchange mechanism suitable for the mobile robot, the pallet loading task and the unloading task can be completed at a time, and the pallet exchange mechanism has the beneficial effects of being small in overall size, high in practicability, simple in structure and the like and is suitable for occasions for cargo loading and unloading and the like in narrow space such as containers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cargo loading and unloading attachments, and more specifically relates to a pallet exchange mechanism suitable for a mobile robot. Background technique [0002] Pallet is a common carrier in the process of cargo handling, which plays an important role in convenient transportation, easy loading and unloading, etc. In automated loading and unloading equipment, pallets still play an important role in the cargo handover process. Because of this, the storage form and exchange method of pallets in automatic loading and unloading equipment affect the performance indicators of the equipment such as work continuity, work efficiency, and applicable environment. Therefore, the pallet exchange mechanism is a relatively important part of the cargo handling field. [0003] At present, there are pallet exchange mechanisms in the following forms in the prior art. One is the form of a circulating assembly line. This mechanism occ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing pallet exchange mechanism has the following problems, wherein the mechanism in the form of a circulating assembly line has four stations, which takes up space in the length and width directions of the equipment. When a forklift places an empty pallet, it needs to be placed in the lower right corner, and then Take out the pallet full of goods in the lower left corner. During this process, the forklift needs to translate horizontally, which makes the operation more difficult; the mechanism in the form of a vertical assembly line has three vertical stations, which increases the length of the forklift. After the forklift has placed the empty pallet Finally, it is necessary to wait for the wrapping of the pallet full of goods to be completed and move from the second station to the third station, which reduces the working efficiency of the forklift. The exchange mechanism also needs a side mechanical arm and its supporting guide rails, etc. the complexity of
