The whole device realizes the positioning of the working position of the loading and unloading device 3, and can automatically return the loading and unloading device 3 to the working position, thereby reducing the repeated operation of workers and improving the return precision of the loading and unloading device 3.

In some application scenarios, as shown in fig. 2, the automatic loading and unloading rotary device may be a material grabbing machine, the fixed car body 1 is fixed on the ground, and the movable car body 2 drives the loading and unloading device 3 to repeatedly reciprocate between the unloading point 101 and the material grabbing point 102. In the traditional working mode, a worker controls the movable vehicle body 2 to drive the loading and unloading device 3 to grab materials at the material grabbing point 102, and then controls the movable vehicle body 2 to drive the loading and unloading device 3 to unload materials at the material unloading point 101, and the traditional working mode can bring large workload in long-time reciprocating work.

In this embodiment, the spatial position information may be attitude information of the movable vehicle body, for example, when the loading and unloading device is at the working position, the movable vehicle body is changed to an attitude to move the loading and unloading device to the working position, and the spatial positioning device detects the attitude information of the movable vehicle body at that time, and uses the attitude information as the spatial position information. When the loading and unloading device needs to be automatically returned, the controller controls the movable vehicle body to execute posture change by adopting a preset algorithm, the posture change target is the posture of the loading and unloading device at the working position, and the loading and unloading device is positioned at the working position when the movable vehicle body is controlled to change into the posture. The preset algorithm may be a mechanical control method capable of controlling the mechanical device to make a commanded change in attitude. The attitude information may include various information data that can represent the attitude of the movable vehicle body, such as length information, spatial angle information, and spatial coordinate information of each component in the movable vehicle body.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the movable vehicle body includes: a rotating table 201 and a boom 202; the rotating table 201 is configured to be fitted on the fixed vehicle body 1 in a horizontally rotating manner; the boom 202 is configured such that one end is fitted on the turn table 201 in a vertically rotating manner; wherein, the loading and unloading device 3 is arranged at the other end of the movable arm 202; the spatial positioning device comprises: a first angle sensor and a second angle sensor; the first angle sensor is configured to detect turntable angle information of the turntable 201 when the loading and unloading device 3 is in the operating position; the second angle sensor is configured to detect boom angle information of the boom 202 when the loading and unloading device 3 is at the working position; wherein the controller is further configured to: the rotating table is electrically connected with the movable arm, and the angle information of the rotating table and the angle information of the movable arm are converted into space position information; and controlling the rotating platform 201 and the movable arm 202 to move the loading and unloading device to automatically return to the working position by adopting a preset algorithm according to the spatial position information.

In the present embodiment, when the rotary table 201 rotates with the horizontal plane as the rotation plane, the boom 202 can rotate in the vertical direction, and by controlling the rotary table 201 and the boom 202, the resultant movement direction of the rotary table 201 and the boom 202 drives the loading and unloading device 3 to move to the working position. When the loading and unloading device 3 moves to the working position, the first angle sensor detects the rotating table angle of the rotating table 201 at the moment, the rotating table angle can be the rotating angle of the rotating table 201 relative to the fixed vehicle body 1, and generates rotating table angle information; the second angle sensor detects a boom angle of the boom 202 at this time, which may be a rotation angle of the boom 202 with respect to the turn table 201, and generates boom angle information.

After the controller collects the angle information of the rotating table and the angle information of the movable arm, the information representing the angle of the rotating table and the angle of the movable arm can be converted into space position information. The scaling procedure may be, for example: in an X-Y-Z three-dimensional coordinate system, a rotating plane of the rotating platform 201 is set as an X-Y coordinate plane, and when the rotating platform 201 rotates, a coordinate point of the X-Y coordinate plane of the loading and unloading device 3 is changed; the up-and-down lifting rotation of the movable arm 202 is a synthetic direction, and can change the coordinate point of the X-Y coordinate plane of the loading and unloading device 3 and the coordinate point of the X-Z coordinate plane of the loading and unloading device 3; changes in the angle in the X-Y-Z three-dimensional coordinate system can be easily converted into changes in the coordinate points; with such a simple coordinate system setting, the turntable angle information and the boom angle information can be converted into spatial coordinates in the X-Y-Z three-dimensional coordinate system, which is the spatial position information of the loading and unloading apparatus 3. When the loading and unloading device 3 needs to be returned, the rotating table 201 and the movable arm 202 are controlled through some automatic cruise control algorithm, mechanical arm control algorithm or automatic return control algorithm, so that the loading and unloading device 3 reaches the position corresponding to the spatial position information.
