By setting up a moving plate and nozzle, when using it, the motor needs to be started so that its output end drives the rotating shaft and all the mechanisms on it to rotate together, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the moving plate until the air outlet of the nozzle is facing the steel bar in the direction of the box's movement. Then, the air pump is started so that its air outlet fills the moving plate with air. After that, the air will blow from the nozzle onto the steel bar, thereby blowing away the tiny foreign objects and dust attached to the steel bar. This not only cleans the steel bar, but also prevents foreign objects and dust from adhering to the rollers, thus ensuring the normal rolling of the rollers and the normal movement of the box. 3. By incorporating structures such as sponge strips and extrusion blocks, during use, the extrusion blocks, under the action of spring thrust, move the reinforcing plate and sponge strips together toward the rollers, causing the sponge strips to come into contact with the rollers. As the rollers rotate to propel the box forward, the sponge strips are used to wipe and clean the surface of the rollers, improving their cleanliness. Attached Figure Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A synchronous motion mechanism for a steel bar binding robot, comprising a box body 1, the inside of the box body 1 is provided with a binding gun 2, and the box body 1 is rotationally connected with a box cover; The upper side of the binding gun 2 is provided with an electric push rod 3, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected with a connecting seat 4, the upper side of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a pair of motor one 5, the output end of the motor one 5 is fixedly connected with a gear transmission mechanism 6, and the side surface of the connecting seat 4 is fixedly connected with a camera connecting piece 7; The inside of the box body 1 is provided with a servo motor 8, the output end of the servo motor 8 is fixedly connected with a synchronous wheel 9, and the synchronous wheel 9 is wound with a synchronous belt 10; The bottom of the box body 1 is fixedly connected with a base 11, and the base 11 is rotationally connected with a roller 12; In use, in the three-axis motion mechanism, the movement in the XY direction is realized by controlling the synchronous wheel 9 and the synchronous belt 10 through the synchronous control algorithm of the two servo motors 8, and the movement precision reaches the millimeter level, so as to accurately bind the steel bars; In the three-axis motion mechanism, the Z-axis movement function mainly includes lifting and rotation functions. The main module components include two motors 5, two rotary gears, a self-made electric push rod 3, a connecting gun, a connecting part, a binding gun 2, and an innovatively designed gear structure. The motors 5, which control the rotation, drive the entire Z-axis lifting mechanism to rotate through the gears, so as to achieve the optimal binding angle of the binding gun 2 and improve the binding success rate. During the binding process, the roller 12 rotates on the steel bar, so that the box 1 moves on the steel bar, thereby enabling the binding of steel bars at different positions. The lifting and lowering of the binding is achieved by controlling the Z-axis lifting motor 5. The lifting stroke can be achieved by controlling the length of the lead screw. The centroid of the wire outlet of the binding gun 2 and the center of the motor 5 are kept on the same vertical line. The visual recognition camera completes the identification of the coordinates and intersection angle of the rebar point. The target position is moved by XY. After the Z-axis mechanism rotates a certain angle, the centroid of the wire outlet of the binding gun 2 and the binding point of the rebar are also kept on the same vertical line, which can effectively improve the success rate of rebar binding.

[0020] In summary, compared with traditional binding methods, this invention is easier to install, disassemble, transport, and maintain: modular assembly units and prefabricated fastener connections only require adjusting the tightness of the fasteners to ensure smooth rotation of the synchronous pulley 9. For vulnerable parts such as the synchronous belt 10, this invention can be quickly disassembled and reassembled, is easy to reuse, and is relatively lightweight; the stroke reaches the millimeter level: while ensuring a lightweight structure, the movement accuracy of XY movement and Z-axis lifting reaches the millimeter level; it is safe and reliable: after being assembled into an integral template, the rebar binding points are positioned through a synchronous motion mechanism to achieve automated operation, reduce traditional manual binding, improve binding efficiency, reduce labor input and safety risks, reduce on-site manual installation and disassembly work, and avoid safety accidents caused by prolonged fatigue operation of handheld power tools.

A second motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 14. The side of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting blocks 13. A vertical tube 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft 14. An adjusting rod 16 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical tube 35. A lighting panel 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjusting rod 16. When in use, while observing the condition of the reinforcing bars binding the internal components of housing 1, and in low light conditions, motor 2 (15) can be started, causing its output to drive connecting shaft 14 and all its mechanisms to rotate upwards by 180 degrees (in conjunction with...). Figure 3 As shown), the lighting panel 17 is moved to the top of the box 1, and then the lighting panel 17 is turned on to illuminate the inside of the box 1 so that personnel can observe the binding of the reinforcing bars.

[0022] ReferenceFigure 4 A protective plate 18 is attached to the side of the lighting plate 17 away from the housing 1. A pair of plug-in blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the side of the protective plate 18. A pair of reinforcing holes 20 that are adapted to the plug-in blocks 19 are opened on the side of the lighting plate 17. When the lighting panel 17 is not in use, the protective panel 18 should be placed over the lighting panel 17 so that the plug block 19 can be inserted into the reinforcing hole 20 to improve the stability of the protective panel 18 on the lighting panel 17. The protective panel 18 is used to protect the lighting panel 17 from dust and external forces, thereby making the lighting panel 17 less prone to damage and ensuring its cleanliness.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 The inner wall of the reinforcing hole 20 is coated with a magnetic coating 21, and the outer side of the plug block 19 is coated with a magnetic coating 22 that is magnetically connected to the magnetic coating 21. When the plug block 19 is inserted into the reinforcement hole 20, the magnetic coating 1 21 will be magnetically connected with the magnetic coating 22, thereby improving the stability of the plug block 19 in the reinforcement hole 20, and thus improving the stability of the protective plate 18 on the lighting plate 17.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figures 5-8 A rectangular block 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the base 11. A movable plate 24 is rotatably connected between a pair of rectangular blocks 23 via a rotating shaft. A motor 25 is fixedly connected to the side of one of the rotating shafts. The side of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to the rectangular block 23. An air pump 26 is provided on the top of the movable plate 24. The interior of the movable plate 24 is a hollow structure. The air outlet of the air pump 26 is connected to the movable plate 24. Several nozzles 27 are connected to the bottom of the movable plate 24. Several circular grooves 28 are opened on the side of the movable plate 24. One end of a spring 29 is fixedly connected to the inside of the circular groove 28. A pressing block 30 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 29. A reinforcing plate 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressing block 30 away from the spring 29. A sponge strip 32 is fixedly connected to the side of the reinforcing plate 31 away from the pressing block 30. When in use, the motor 25 needs to be started so that its output end drives the rotating shaft and all the mechanisms on it to rotate together, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the moving plate 24 until the air outlet of the nozzle 27 is facing the steel bar in the forward direction of the box 1. At the same time, under the action of the spring 29, the squeezing block 30 drives the reinforcing plate 31 and the sponge strip 32 to move towards the roller 12, so that the sponge strip 32 abuts against the roller 12. When the roller 12 rotates to drive the box 1 forward, the sponge strip 32 is used to wipe and clean the surface of the roller 12 to improve its cleanliness. Start the air pump 26 to inflate the moving plate 24 with air from its outlet. Then, the air will blow onto the steel bar from the nozzle 27, thereby removing tiny foreign objects and dust attached to the steel bar. This not only cleans the steel bar but also prevents foreign objects and dust from adhering to the roller 12, thus ensuring the normal rolling of the roller 12 and the normal forward movement of the box 1.

A pair of sliding grooves 34 adapted to the sliders 33 are provided on the inner wall of the circular groove 28. When the extrusion block 30 moves in the circular groove 28, the sliders 33 will move in the sliding grooves 34. The sliders 33 can limit the extrusion block 30 and prevent the extrusion block 30 from separating from the circular groove 28.

[0028] Reference Figure 9 A control method for a synchronous motion mechanism of a rebar tying robot, the method employing the aforementioned synchronous motion mechanism for a rebar tying robot, includes the following steps: S1: In the three-axis motion mechanism, the movement of XY is achieved by two servo motors 8 controlling the synchronous pulley 9 and the synchronous belt 10 through a synchronous control algorithm; S2: The entire lifting mechanism of the Z-axis is driven to rotate by the motor 5 that controls the rotation through gears, so as to achieve the best binding angle of the binding gun 2; S3: When binding, the centroid of the wire outlet of binding gun 2 is kept on the same vertical line as the center of the motor, and the centroid of the wire outlet of binding gun 2 is also kept on the same vertical line as the binding point of the rebar.
