Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of railway locomotive and rolling stock production and maintenance technology, specifically a safety gantry robot with pallets for railway locomotive and rolling stock production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most gantry robots in railway locomotive depots, rolling stock depots, locomotive factories, and rolling stock factories lack fall protection devices. Instead, they rely on ground barriers to physically isolate personnel. However, in the event of a fall, they could still damage equipment below, posing a significant safety hazard. While a very small number of gantry robots are equipped with fall-protection pallet trolleys on the main carriage, where the trolley moves under the workpiece after it has been lifted to its final position, this structure is complex and requires a large amount of space. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a safe gantry robot with pallets for railway rolling stock production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a workshop 1 of a railway locomotive depot, rolling stock depot, locomotive factory, or rolling stock factory includes a longitudinal track 1X, a workpiece 2, and a gantry robot 3. The gantry robot 3 includes a large vehicle 3A, a small vehicle 3B, a lifting device 3C, an opening and closing pallet 3D, and a gripper device 3E. The large vehicle 3A includes a large vehicle body 3A1 and a transverse track 3A2 installed on the large vehicle body 3A1. The large vehicle body 3A1 can move longitudinally on the longitudinal track 1X. The small vehicle 3B includes a small vehicle body 3B1 that can move laterally on the transverse track 3A2. The lifting device 3C includes a lifting column 4, which includes a fixed column 4A and a movable column 4B that can move up and down on the fixed column 4A. The fixed column 4A is installed on the trolley body 3B1, and the gripper device 3E is fixed to the bottom of the movable column 4B when it is in the lowest position. The opening and closing pallet 3D includes an opening and closing device 3D1 and a pallet 3D2. The opening and closing device 3D1 is installed at the bottom of the trolley body 3B1. When the gripper device 3E grabs the workpiece 2 and raises it to the highest position, the pallet 3D2 is closed by the opening and closing device 3D1. The pallet 3D2 is located at the bottom of the workpiece 2, which can prevent the workpiece 2 from falling. When the pallet 3D2 is opened by the opening and closing device 3D1, the pallet 3D2 does not affect the lifting and lowering of the workpiece 2.

[0005] As a further aspect of the present invention: the movable column 4B includes a starting column 4B1, an intermediate column 4B2 and a final column 4B3. The starting column 4B1 can move up and down on the fixed column 4A, the intermediate column 4B2 can move up and down on the starting column 4B1, the final column 4B3 can move up and down on the intermediate column 4B2, and the gripper device 3E is installed at the bottom of the final column 4B3.

[0006] As a further aspect of the present invention: the trolley body 3B1 includes a trolley column 3B1A, and the opening and closing tray 3D includes a horizontal tray device 5. The horizontal tray device 5 includes a tray frame 5A, a tray guide rail 5B, a horizontal tray 5C, and a horizontal drive 5D. The tray frame 5A is installed at the bottom of the trolley column 3B1A, and the tray guide rail 5B and the horizontal drive 5D are both installed on the tray frame 5A. The horizontal drive 5D enables the horizontal tray 5C to open and close on the tray guide rail 5B.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the lifting device 3C includes a single column lifting 31, which includes a set of lifting columns 4; the horizontal support plate 5C includes a single support plate 5C1; the workpiece 2 includes an axle 2A; the gripper device 3E includes an axle gripper 3E1, which includes an axle hook 3E1A.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the lifting device 3C includes a double-column lifting 32, which includes two sets of lifting columns 4; the horizontal support plate 5C includes a double support plate 5C2.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the workpiece 2 includes a wheelset 2B, the gripper device 3E includes wheelset grippers 3E2, and the wheelset grippers 3E2 include two sets of telescopic grippers 3E2A.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the lifting device 3C includes a four-column lifting device 34, which includes four sets of lifting columns 4.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the workpiece 2 includes a bogie 2C, the gripper device 3E includes a bogie gripper 3E3, and the bogie gripper 3E3 includes four sets of telescopic shaft grippers 3E3A.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the opening and closing support plate 3D includes a flexible roller shutter support plate 6, which includes a guide rail frame 6A, a chain 6B, a support strip 6C, and a chain drive 6D. The guide rail frame 6A, including the chain guide rail, is fixed on the trolley body 3B1. The chain 6B can run on the chain guide rail through the chain drive 6D. The support strip 6C is installed on the chain 6B to form the roller shutter support plate. When the support strip 6C is below the workpiece 2, it can prevent the workpiece 2 from falling. When the roller shutter support plate is rolled up, it does not affect the lifting and lowering of the workpiece 2.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the opening and closing pallet 3D includes a swing pallet device 7, which includes a swing frame 7A, a swing pallet 7B, a hinge pin 7C, and a telescopic electric cylinder 7D. The swing frame 7A is installed on the bottom of the trolley body 3B1. One end of the swing pallet 7B is hinged to the swing frame 7A through the hinge pin 7C, and the other end is connected to one end of the telescopic electric cylinder 7D. The other end of the telescopic electric cylinder 7D is installed on the swing frame 7A.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, the main advantage of this invention is that it creatively sets an opening and closing tray directly at the bottom of the vehicle body. The main advantages are: safety, simple structure, and small space occupation. Attached Figure Description
