Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gantry robot technology, specifically to a gantry robot device capable of performing multi-line, multi-point stacking and destabilizing operations. Background Technology
[0002] As the manufacturing industry upgrades towards intelligence and flexibility, the material stacking and destacking processes in the field of industrial automation are core links in production line connection. Their operational efficiency and adaptability directly determine the overall production rhythm and cost control. Currently, production lines in industries such as automotive parts, 3C electronics, and food packaging generally exhibit the layout characteristics of "multiple conveyor lines in parallel and multiple types of materials mixed on the line".
[0003] In existing technologies, the stacking and destacking of production line materials mainly rely on two types of equipment: one is dedicated equipment such as stacking machines and destacking machines. This type of equipment is usually fixedly connected to a single conveyor line, and its working range is limited to a specific point on a single conveyor line. It can only complete the stacking or destacking action of "single line and single point". When there are multiple parallel conveyor lines on the production line, dedicated equipment matching the number of conveyor lines needs to be configured. This not only increases the equipment purchase cost and factory floor space, but also requires additional investment in the control system to coordinate the action sequence of multiple devices. It is easy to cause material accumulation or conveying interruption due to scheduling delays, resulting in a reduction in overall operation efficiency. Another type is the simplified single-axis or dual-axis gantry robot. Although this type of equipment can achieve a certain range of movement, it has defects: First, the transmission and positioning accuracy is insufficient. Most of them only use basic guide rails and gear rack structures, lacking precise limit calibration, lubrication maintenance, and cleaning and protection design. During long-term use, dust accumulation and dry friction of parts can easily lead to positioning deviations. The positioning accuracy is usually poor and cannot meet the stacking and unstacking requirements of high-precision materials such as automotive precision stamping parts and electronic chip trays. The positioning error can easily cause material collision damage. Second, the adaptability is poor. The length, width and height of the frame are mostly fixed specifications, and the internal space cannot be adjusted according to the number of conveyor lines and the size of materials. When enterprises change the production products or adjust the production line layout, they need to completely modify the equipment or even repurchase it, which affects the continuity of production.
[0004] To address these issues, we designed a truss robot capable of multi-line, multi-point stacking and destacking operations. Summary of the Invention
