The loading and unloading robot is compact in structure, small in size and flexible in movement, a carriage of a truck can freely enter and exit, when goods are not required to be loaded and unloaded, the loading and unloading robot can enter a warehouse, a tray to be processed is processed, the tray to be processed is moved to a destination, in addition, the loading and unloading robot can also process various other flows in the warehouse, such as unloading, stacking, unstacking, carrying, sorting and the like, so that 24-hour work can be realized by fully utilizing the loading and unloading robot, the loading and unloading robot can work in a gapless mode within 24 hours, and the utilization rate of the loading and unloading robot and the work efficiency in the logistics field are improved.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the end effector 42 is a suction cup assembly, which can be extended and retracted, and the suction cup assembly is used for acquiring the goods on the pallet to realize the transfer of the goods. The sucking disc subassembly includes support frame 421 and a plurality of sucking disc 422, and a plurality of sucking disc 422 are installed on support frame 421, and a plurality of sucking disc 422 can stretch out and draw back on support frame 421. In this embodiment, the front and the back of the base 1 are respectively provided with the jacking mechanisms 5, when the loading and unloading robot loads the pallet and loads the pallet into the carriage of the truck for loading and unloading goods, the jacking mechanisms 5 can abut against the carriage for fixing the loading and unloading robot, and when the loading and unloading robot needs to adjust the height, the jacking mechanisms 5 can be lifted to adjust the ground clearance of the base 1. The jacking mechanism 5 may be a hydraulic jacking mechanism or a pneumatic jacking mechanism. In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a camera support 6, the camera support 6 is provided with a fixing frame 61, and the fixing frame 61 is located above the tray 3. The fixed frame 61 is provided with two first cameras 7, the first cameras 7 are used for shooting images of the goods on the tray 3, and then the shot image information is sent to a control part of the loading and unloading mechanism, so that the goods are identified from the tray, obtained, counted and the like according to the image information, and in one embodiment, the first cameras 7 are used for shooting the goods on the tray 3. In this embodiment, the control part of the loading and unloading mechanism recognizes the image of the goods on the pallet, and the obtaining of the classification information of the image object of the goods on the pallet includes, but is not limited to, the following modes:
1) acquiring a point cloud of an object in the image of the goods on the tray according to the image of the goods on the tray; and obtaining the classification information of the objects in the image of the goods on the tray through a preset object recognition model according to the point cloud of the objects in the image of the goods on the tray.
As an example, assuming that the preset object recognition model is a box with a conventional size, after the image of the goods on the pallet is acquired, according to the point cloud of the object in the image of the goods on the pallet, the top plane is recognized by the object recognition model, and then whether the vertical height exists around the left and right is judged, if so, the recognition is successful, and the end effector 42 is controlled to grab the box.
2) And inputting the images of the goods on the tray into a pre-trained neural network for calculation to obtain the classification information of the objects in the images of the goods on the tray.
Illustratively, the pre-trained neural network includes an object pose database, and information of the goods can be obtained after the images of the goods on the pallet are input into the pre-trained neural network. The advantage of a pre-trained neural network is that each cargo can be segmented when the cargo overlaps.
In this embodiment, the camera support 6 is further provided with a second camera 8, the second camera 8 is located on the side where the tray 3 is located, and the second camera 8 is used for performing obstacle recognition on the front side of the tray 3 in the moving (forward moving) process to avoid obstacles.

The first camera 7, the second camera 8 and the third camera 9 are preferably depth cameras. It is needless to say that the loading and unloading mechanism further includes other related control parts such as a control cabinet 43 containing various control components, and the loading and unloading mechanism also includes an electric control cabinet 100 for controlling the moving mechanism 2, the control tray 3, and the control jack 5.
In one application scenario, the work flow of the loading and unloading robot is as follows:
when an empty truck reaches a logistics sorting center, the truck needs to be loaded, a control system sends an instruction to the loading and unloading robot, after the loading and unloading robot receives the instruction, a visual mechanism on the loading and unloading robot is started, and then the loading and unloading robot autonomously moves to the position of the goods to be carried according to images acquired by all cameras on the camera support 6;
after the target goods position is reached, a forklift loads the goods on the loading and unloading robot to load the tray 3, and after the loading and unloading robot lifts the tray 3, the loading and unloading robot autonomously moves to the position of the truck according to the image acquired by the camera and then enters the carriage of the truck;
the end effector of the loading and unloading robot is used for capturing the goods on the tray 3 according to the images of the goods on the tray 3 shot by the first camera 7, and then the goods are sequentially placed in the carriage of the truck one by one.
When the goods in the truck reach the logistics sorting center in a full-load manner, the truck needs to be unloaded, the control system sends an instruction to the loading and unloading robot, the loading and unloading robot enters the carriage of the truck according to the instruction, then the end effector acquires images of the goods in the carriage according to the second camera 8 on the camera support 6, the goods in the carriage are placed on the tray 3 after being grabbed one by one, and when the tray 3 is waiting to be filled with the goods, the loading and unloading robot takes the tray 3 in which the goods are in full load out of the carriage and then places the tray 3 in a specified position until the target goods in the tray 3 are completely unloaded.
