Sorting robot is a robot with sensors, objective lens and electronic optical system, which can quickly sort goods.
Development background of sorting robot
With the rising of labor cost, it is an important direction of modern robot research to use robots to do some repetitive and high-intensity labor instead of manpower. At present, in the logistics system and flexible manufacturing system, the automatic navigation car is widely used, but its main guidance mode is electromagnetic or inertial guidance. The electromagnetic guidance needs to bury metal wires and load the guidance frequency. Its disadvantages are obvious, poor flexibility, more trouble in changing or expanding the path, and interference to ferromagnetic substances near the guidance line. Inertial guidance mainly installs gyroscopes, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to solve subsequent problems such as high cost maintenance, and magnetic blocks are also needed on the ground for auxiliary positioning. In addition, this kind of car lacks the function of distinguishing objects.
Working principle of sorting robot
The sorting robot can "look" at the QR code pasted on the ground to locate and identify the route for itself, grasp the package under the command of the robot dispatching system, and then pass through the gantry equipped with industrial cameras, electronic scales and other peripheral equipment; With the code reading function of the industrial camera and the weighing function of the electronic scale, the robot scheduling system will recognize the information of the express bill, complete the scanning and weighing of the package, draw the optimal operation path of the robot according to the package destination plan, and schedule the robot to sort and deliver the package.
Composition of sorting robot
Automatic sorting and handling robot, including control core module, power module, ultrasonic infrared ranging module, human body infrared detection sensor, color detection sensor, human body infrared detection sensor, motor drive module, stepping motor, encoder pulse counter, steering gear and manipulator; The steering gear is used to control the steering of the trolley and also to control the opening and closing of the manipulator; The encoder pulse counter is used to detect the motor speed; Ultrasonic infrared ranging module is used for positioning; Color detection sensor is used to distinguish objects; Manipulators are used to hold objects; The human body infrared detection sensor is used to detect human body signals.
Advantages of sorting robots
Stable and efficient, which improves the operation efficiency of the enterprise, saves the labor cost and management cost, and promotes the upgrading of factories and enterprises; The sorting robot can realize reconstruction, independently plan the walking route, and easily identify objects; The sorting robot can work continuously, with light volume and high efficiency, which can save 70% of the personnel; The sorting robot can carry out loading, transportation and sorting, and complete the processing, sorting, packaging and handling of materials instead of workers.
