Design of automated collection and transfer robot for powder and flexible materials

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of collection and transport of toxic or odorous powder and flexible materials in industrial production, this article designs a robot that automatically collects and transports materials. Firstly, the system composition of the automated collection and transfer robot with the functions of collecting, transporting and trajectory traveling is discussed. The working principle of each functional module is introduced. The mechanical structure design of parallel parallelogram switch mechanism, grade I and II height adjusting mechanism, transfer device and walking device is completed. Secondly, a control system with STM32 chip as the core is designed. With the signal of relevant sensors as the auxiliary, the material collection, posture adjustment and trajectory traveling are realized. Finally, the rationality of the scheme is verified by the static and dynamic simulation of the key components of each functional module of the robot. The designed robot had been proved to have good running stability and reliability by simulation results, prototype trial and commissioning for key parts.
