Abstract
An anti-falling apparatus is used in a transport robot. The transport robot can ascend or descend vertically along a rack rail. The transport robot includes a braking mechanism. The anti-falling apparatus includes: an acceleration measurement unit configured to measure an acceleration of the transport robot; and a control unit, configured to obtain the acceleration, and further configured to detect, according to the acceleration, whether the transport robot falls on the rack rail, and when detecting that the transport robot falls on the rack rail, control the braking mechanism to apply braking, to stop the transport robot from falling.
Claims17
An anti-falling apparatus, used in a transport robot, wherein the transport robot is capable of ascending or descending vertically along a rack rail on a rack, the transport robot comprises a braking mechanism, and the anti-falling apparatus comprises:
- an acceleration measurement unit configured to measure an acceleration of the transport robot;
- and
- a control unit configured to obtain the acceleration, wherein the control unit is further configured to detect, according to the acceleration, whether the transport robot falls on the rack rail, and when detecting that the transport robot falls on the rack rail, control the braking mechanism to apply braking, to stop the transport robot from falling.
A transport robot, comprising:
- a robot body capable of ascending or descending vertically along a rack rail on a rack, the robot body comprising a braking mechanism;
- and
- an anti-falling apparatus connected to the robot body;
- wherein the anti-falling apparatus comprises:
- an acceleration measurement unit configured to measure an acceleration of the transport robot;
- and
- a control unit configured to obtain the acceleration, wherein the control unit is further configured to detect, according to the acceleration, whether the transport robot falls on the rack rail, and when detecting that the transport robot falls on the rack rail, control the braking mechanism to apply braking, to stop the transport robot from falling.
An anti-falling device, used in a transport robot, wherein the transport robot is capable of ascending or descending vertically along a rack rail on a rack, the transport robot comprises a braking mechanism, and anti-falling device comprises:
- a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the memory, and the communication interface complete mutual communication by using the communication bus;
- and
- the memory is configured to store executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions enable the processor to:
- obtain an acceleration of the transport robot;
- detect, according to the acceleration, whether the transport robot falls on the rack rail;
- and
- control the braking mechanism to apply braking when detecting that the transport robot falls on the rack rail, to stop the transport robot from falling.
