Design of Automatic Claw Changing Robot for Intelligent Sorting System

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, China’s express business volume has steadily increased, which has greatly increased the operation volume and complexity of sorting operations. However, the current logistics sorting process is still in manual or semi-automatic sorting, and the technology in the process of express sorting cannot match the surging order volume in the express industry. And with the rapid development of e-commerce and the increasing personalized demand, customer orders gradually tend to be multi-variety, small batch, multi-frequency, and then put forward higher requirements for the flexibility of the sorting system. In this paper, aiming at the low sorting efficiency caused by the inconsistent standards of goods in the sorting process, based on the idea of automatic tool changing in machining center, a hand changing grasping robot is designed, which includes the structure of cluster, “claw library” and robot automatic claw changing structure. The design can realize the multi-purpose of one machine and improve the flexibility of the sorting system.
