A buffer mechanism 5 is arranged between the protective cover 3 and the sucker seat 1, and the buffer mechanism 5 can provide buffer force for the mechanical arm 100 after the sucker 2 is contacted with goods, so that the mechanical arm 100 can pick up goods at high speed, and other parts are prevented from being damaged by high-speed movement of the mechanical arm 100.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the buffer mechanism 5 includes a guide shaft 51, a linear bearing 52, and a return spring 53. Be provided with on the safety cover 3 and wear to establish the hole, be provided with the mounting hole on the sucking disc seat 1, the one end fixed connection of guiding axle 51 is in the mounting hole, and the connected mode can utilize screw connection or welding, and the other end of guiding axle 51 passes and wears to establish the hole setting. The linear bearing 52 is sleeved on the guide shaft 51 and is arranged in the penetrating hole of the protective cover 3 so as to reduce the friction force applied when the protective cover 3 moves along the guide shaft 51. The return spring 53 is sleeved on the guide shaft 51 and is positioned between the protective cover 3 and the sucker seat 1. Optionally, a plurality of buffer mechanisms 5 are provided between the protective cover 3 and the suction cup holder 1 to enhance the buffer effect. In the present embodiment, two buffer mechanisms 5 are provided side by side.
After the sucker 2 abuts against the goods, the sucker seat 1 is forced to stop moving, at this time, the protecting cover 3 is driven by the mechanical arm 100 to continue moving, the reset spring 53 is compressed, and provides a resistance for the protecting cover 3 to prevent the protecting cover 3 from continuing moving, so that the moving speed of the protecting cover 3 and the mechanical arm 100 is reduced, and the mechanical arm 100 is protected.

Optionally, a cushion 54 is also provided between the guide plate and the linear bearing 52. Alternatively, the cushion 54 is a polyurethane cushion made of polyurethane material.
In order to timely control the sucker assembly 200 to move downwards in the cargo box 300, so that damage to the sucker assembly 200 due to collision is avoided, a cargo pickup detection mechanism 8 is arranged below the sucker seat 1 to detect the distance between the sucker assembly 200 and the cargo, so that the mechanical arm 100 is timely controlled to stop moving, and further the sucker assembly 200 is stopped moving. As shown in fig. 3, the cargo pickup detection mechanism 8 is a proximity sensor that, when detecting a preset distance from the cargo, sends a second signal to the control mechanism of the robot arm 100 to control the robot arm 100 to stop moving. In the present embodiment, the preset distance is set to 20mm.
Further, after the suction cup 2 adsorbs the goods, the phenomenon that the goods are separated from the suction cup 2 to drop easily occurs due to factors such as unstable attractive force. In order to acquire the laundry falling signal in time, as shown in fig. 3, a cargo falling detection mechanism 7 is provided below the suction cup seat 1, the cargo falling detection mechanism 7 is configured to be capable of sending a cargo falling signal when the cargo falls, the falling signal can be transmitted to an alarm mechanism to control the alarm mechanism to send out an alarm signal so as to inform the manual handling of the falling cargo, or the falling signal can be transmitted to a robot so as to control the robot to handle the falling cargo. Alternatively, the cargo drop detection mechanism 7 is a photoelectric sensor, and a detection threshold of the photoelectric sensor may be set as required.

By providing a plurality of vacuum generators 501, independent control of the plurality of suction cups 2 is achieved, while maintaining suction of suction cups 2 to a maximum extent, while avoiding a gripping failure due to the fact that individual suction cups 2 are not sucking in cargo. Of course, in other embodiments, if the number of suction cups 2 is changed, the number of vacuum generators 501 and the number of connectors are correspondingly changed.
Further, in order to pick up the goods in a certain container 300, a sign is provided on the front side of each container 300, and a code scanner 6 is provided on the front side of the protective cover 3, and the code scanner 6 is fixed on the protective cover 3 by using polyurethane head limit screws.

Optionally identified as a two-dimensional code or bar code. And the label is affixed within 200mm x 200mm of the top left corner of the front side of the cargo box 300.
Further, the pick system also includes an AGV that is capable of transporting the target pallet 400 to the robotic arm 100 to effect pick up of the target load. AGVs are prior art and their specific structure is not described in detail herein.
Taking soft package clothes as an example, the working process of the pick-up system is as follows:
1. the upstream system receives the order information and conveys the target pallet 400 to a picking station according to the system information handling robot (AGV);
2. the mechanical arm 100 moves to a code scanning position of the target container 300 with the sucker assembly 200, and scans two-dimensional code information on the container 300 corresponding to the storage position to check whether the cargo position is correct or not;
3. after verification, the suction cup assembly 200 is extended into the cargo box 300 through the top opening 301 of the cargo box 300 and moved down the side opening 302 of the cargo box 300 to seek clothing;
4. when the goods picking detection mechanism 8 detects clothes, a second signal is sent to the control mechanism of the mechanical arm 100, so that the mechanical arm 100 stops probing, meanwhile, the on-off electromagnetic valve 503 of the vacuum generation mechanism 500 is opened, the vacuum generator 501 starts to work, and the suction cup 2 sucks clothes;
5. after the clothes are picked up, the mechanical arm 100 moves up to the safe position with the sucker assembly 200 and then exits the cargo box 300, and the clothes are placed at a required position, for example, a material box on a robot AGV, a material feeding port or a seeding wall, etc., so that the single order cycle is completed.
With this pick-up system, the average beat of the robot arm 100 picking up a piece of clothing through the suction cup assembly 200, including the code scanning recognition procedure, is 8S. The pickup system has the advantage of small occupied space, can reduce the reduction of the utilization rate of the goods shelf 400 to the minimum, and the minimum space required for picking up clothes is 140mm high, and the data are obtained by simulation under the condition that the quality of the clothes packaging bag is low and the collapse height after the clothes are grabbed is about 10mm. And this pick-up system application scope is wide, can adsorb the goods of different materials, especially to the goods of soft bag packing, need not select specific pick-up angle or pick-up point, near can accomplish smoothly and pick up, not only pick up the degree of difficulty little, and pick up efficiency is higher.
