One side of the film taking arm 210 is connected to a guide member for limiting the reverse movement of the film taking arm 210 along the length of the first support platform 220.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the guide member includes a guide rail 238, a B connecting member 236 and a slider 237. The guide rail 238 is fixedly mounted on the first support platform 220, and the slider 237 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 238. One side of the slider 237 is fixedly connected to the B connecting member 236, and one side of the B connecting member 236 is fixedly connected to the film taking arm 210. The guide rail 238 and the slider 237 are provided to make the movement of the film taking arm 210 more stable.

[0049] Specifically, the B rotating drive member 233 adopts a rotating cylinder or a motor, and the B rotating drive member 233 is fixedly installed on the first support platform 220. The driving wheel 234 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the B rotating drive member 233. The driving wheel 234 is driven to rotate by the B rotating drive member 233, and the driving wheel 234 rotates to pull the A transmission belt 231 to move. Under the guidance of the guide member, the A transmission belt 231 drives the film picking arm 210 to move along the length direction of the first support platform 220 through the A connecting member 232, that is, the film picking arm 210 is moved along the Y-axis direction.

[0050] See also Figures 5 to 8In one embodiment of the present invention, the second mobile driving mechanism 230 includes a first slide 241, a second slide 242, a B transmission belt 243, an A telescopic driving member 244, a C connecting member 245, a D connecting member 246, a limiting member and two synchronous wheels 247. The bottom of the film-taking arm 210 is fixedly connected to the second slide 242. The first slide 241 is slidably mounted on the first support platform 220, and the second slide 242 is slidably mounted on the first slide 241. One side of the first slide 241 is connected to drive the first slide 241 along the first support platform. A telescopic driving member 244 moving in the length direction of 220 is fixedly connected to the second slide 242 on one side with the C connecting member 245, two synchronous wheels 247 are rotatably mounted on the first slide 241, a B transmission belt 243 is sleeved on the outside of the two synchronous wheels 247, a C connecting member 245 is fixedly connected to the B transmission belt 243 on one side, a D connecting member 246 is fixedly connected to the B transmission belt 243 on one side, and a D connecting member 246 is connected to a limiting member on one side, and the limiting member can prevent the D connecting member 246 from moving relative to the first support platform 220 or the first slide 241;

[0051] Specifically, the A telescopic driving member 244 adopts a telescopic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, the moving end of the A telescopic driving member 244 is fixedly connected to the first slide 241, and the fixed end of the A telescopic driving member 244 is fixedly connected to the first support platform 220. When the moving end of the A telescopic driving member 244 is extended or retracted, it drives the first slide 241 to move relative to the first support platform 220, and the first slide 241 drives the B transmission belt 243 to move through two synchronous wheels 247;

[0052] When the film-taking arm 210 needs to move quickly, the limiting member is used to prevent the D connecting member 246 from moving relative to the first support platform 220. At this time, under the action of the D connecting member 246, the B transmission belt 243 moves under the traction of the D connecting member 246, and the B transmission belt 243 drives the second slide 242 to move relative to the first slide 241 through the C connecting member 245, and the moving speed of the second slide 242 is multiple times the moving speed of the first slide 241. The second slide 242 drives the film-taking arm 210 to move, thereby realizing the rapid movement of the film-taking arm 210, and the moving distance of the film-taking arm 210 is multiple times the telescopic amount of the moving end of the A telescopic driving member 244, realizing the rapid movement of the film-taking arm 210;

[0053] Due to the increase in stroke, the position control accuracy of the film picking arm 210 is reduced. When the movement accuracy of the film picking arm 210 needs to be improved, the limiting member is used to prevent the D connecting member 246 from moving relative to the first slide 241. At this time, the B transmission belt 243 cannot move relative to the first slide 241, so that the second slide 242 drives the film picking arm 210 to move synchronously with the first slide 241, that is, the moving speed and moving distance of the film picking arm 210 are the same as the telescopic amount of the moving end of the A telescopic drive member 244, thereby improving the control of the movement accuracy of the film picking arm 210 when the film picking arm 210 is at the end of its moving stroke.

[0054] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member includes a first limiting plate 248, a second limiting plate 249, a sliding frame 2411, a B telescopic driving member 2412 and two latches 2413.

The two moving ends of the bidirectional telescopic drive member are respectively fixedly connected to the two latches 2413, and the outer side walls of the two latches 2413 are slidably connected to the sliding frame 2411. The fixed end of the bidirectional telescopic drive member is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 2411.

[0056] Specifically, when a limiting member is needed to prevent the D connecting member 246 from moving relative to the first support platform 220, the two-way telescopic driving member drives the latch 2413 on one side of the first limiting plate 248 to move away from the A insertion hole 2414 on the first limiting plate 248, and drives the other latch 2413 to be inserted into the B insertion hole 2415 on the second limiting plate 249, so that the sliding frame 2411 and the D connecting member 246 cannot move relative to the first support platform 220;

[0057] When a limiting member is needed to prevent the D connecting member 246 from moving relative to the first slide 241, similarly, the bidirectional telescopic driving member drives the pin 2413 on one side of the first limit plate 248 to move and insert into the A hole 2414 on the first limit plate 248, and drives the other pin 2413 to disengage from the B hole 2415 on the second limit plate 249.

The displacement sensor is used to measure the moving distance of the D-connecting member 246 relative to the first support platform 220. The displacement sensor is fixedly mounted on the first support platform 220 so that the D-connecting member 246 can return to the starting point of its own travel after moving relative to the first support platform 220. To this end, the position of the D-connecting member 246 is measured by the displacement sensor.
