Design of Tire Stevedoring Robot

Abstract

This paper is aimed at the design of the tire stevedoring robot. Based on the analysis of the situation of the tire warehouse, a mechanical claw which can hold the tires stacked vertically and horizontally is designed. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different mechanisms, the hydraulic lifting system and worm gear transmission are selected. The design of hydraulic cylinder, calculation of motor selection and static analysis ensure the efficiency and stability of the tire stevedoring robot. This design replaces manual handling activities and effectively improves the efficiency of tire stevedoring and reduces the possibility of workers’ injury.
