[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-6A guide rail protection device for the seventh axis of an industrial robot comprises a guide rail 1, a mounting frame 2 for mounting a robot is slidably connected to the top of the guide rail 1 and a plurality of feet 3 are provided at the bottom, guide grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the guide rail 1, a plurality of guide wheels 5 rotatably connected to the guide grooves 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the mounting frame 2, and a driving component 6 for driving the mounting frame 2 to move is provided at the top, the driving component 6 also comprises a protection component 7 for protecting the guide rail 1, and the guide grooves 4 and the guide wheels 5 enable the mounting frame 2 to remain stable when moving.

[0023] Furthermore, the driving assembly 6 includes a tooth plate 61 fixedly mounted on the inner side of the guide rail 1, a motor 62 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 2, the shaft end of the motor 62 passes through the mounting frame 2 and a gear 63 is fixedly mounted thereon, the gear 63 meshes and rotates with the tooth plate 61, the motor 62 is electrically connected to an external power supply, and the motor 62 drives the gear 63 to rotate to cooperate with the tooth plate 61 to drive the mounting frame 2, thereby achieving the function of a mobile robot.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the mounting frame 2 is rotatably connected to a round rod 64, the other end of the round rod 64 is provided with a sponge roller 65 which is tightly pressed against the tooth plate 61, and a driven pulley 66 is fixedly installed above the sponge roller 65, the shaft end of the motor 62 is located above the gear 63 and a driving pulley 67 is fixedly installed, and a transmission belt 68 is sleeved between the driving pulley 67 and the driven pulley 66.

[0025] It should be added that, while the motor 62 drives the gear 63 to drive the mounting frame 2 to move, the motor 62 also drives the active pulley 67 to cooperate with the transmission belt 68 to drive the driven pulley 66 to rotate, and the round rod 64 drives the sponge roller 65 to rotate under the drive of the driven pulley 66. The advantage of this is that the sponge roller 65 rotates against the tooth plate 61, and the excess or accumulated sludge on the tooth plate 61 can be scraped off and cleaned, thereby protecting the guide rail 1.

[0026] The sponge roller 65 can be disassembled and assembled through the fixing part 8. When it is disassembled, the movement of the tooth plate 61 by the mounting frame 2 is not affected. After it is installed, the tooth plate 61 can be cleaned. It can be disassembled and assembled according to actual conditions for easy use.

[0027] In more detail, the sponge roller 65 is fixed to the round rod 64 by a fixing member 8, and the fixing member 8 includes a pair of protrusions 81 provided at the bottom of the round rod 64, and a pair of bending portions 82 are relatively provided at the top of the axial end of the sponge roller 65, and a spring 84 is fixedly connected to the top thereof through a receiving groove 83, and the protrusion 81 can be snapped into the bending portion 82, and the bottom of the round rod 64 can be inserted into the receiving groove 83 and abut against the other end of the spring 84.

[0028] In detail, the round rod 64 is used to resist the spring 84 to provide a downward extrusion force for the sponge roller 65. This extrusion force can make the protrusion 81 tightly clamped in the bending portion 82, so that the sponge roller 65 will not fall due to vibration or accidental operation, and it is also convenient to disassemble and assemble the sponge roller 65.

[0029] In addition, it is necessary to first plug the waste box 73 into the round rod 64, and then install the sponge roller 65 from the inside of the waste box 73 through the fixing member 8, so that the waste box 73 can be fixed by utilizing the effect of the sponge roller 65 resisting the top of the inner wall of the waste box 73.

[0030] In general, the protection component 7 includes an oil tank 71 which is clamped to the top of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2 through a clamping portion, an oil brush 72 is provided in the oil tank 71, the brush end of the oil brush 72 can be tightly pressed against the tooth plate 61, the bottom of the round rod 64 is located above the raised portion 81 and a waste box 73 is inserted therein, the sponge roller 65 is rotatably connected to the waste box 73, and the shaft end at the top thereof can contact the top of the inner wall of the waste box 73.

[0031] In more detail, the clamping portion includes a slide groove provided at the top of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2, a guide block is provided at the top of the oil tank 71, the guide block is slidably connected to the slide groove, a positioning glass bead is provided in the slide groove, when the oil tank 71 is installed in place, the oil tank 71 is fixed by the positioning glass bead, and the oil tank 71 can be conveniently installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 2 through the slide groove and the guide block;

[0032] The oil tank 71 needs to be installed behind the sponge roller 65 , so that after the tooth plate 61 is cleaned, the oil tank 71 can be oiled by the oil brush 72 , which is beneficial to protecting the guide rail 1 .

[0033] Finally, the waste box 73 and the oil tank 71 are provided with a block 711 and a slot 731 on the side facing each other, and the block 711 is engaged in the slot 731 . An oil scraper 74 is provided in the waste box 73 , and the oil scraper 74 can press against the outer wall of the sponge roller 65 .

[0034] The specific operation is that, because of the rotational connection between the waste box 73 and the round rod 64, in order to prevent the waste box 73 from rotating along with the round rod 64, the waste box 73 needs to be fixed by the action of the clamping block 711 and the clamping slot 731;

[0035] In addition, because the sponge roller 65 rotates to clean the oil stains, the scraper plate 74 can be used to scrape off the sludge accumulated on the periphery of the sponge roller 65 and store the scraped sludge in the waste box 73, so that the sponge roller 65 can better clean the tooth plate 61.

[0036] Working method: When working, the waste box 73 is inserted into the round rod 64, and then the sponge roller 65 is inserted from the inside of the waste box 73. When the sponge roller 65 is inserted into place, the protrusion 81 is clamped into the bent portion 82 by rotating, so that the waste box 73 and the sponge roller 65 are fixed. Then the oil tank 71 is installed through the clamping portion and the oil brush 72 is pressed against the tooth plate 61. At this time, the clamping block 711 needs to be clamped into the clamping groove 731;

[0037] Afterwards, the motor 62 drives the gear 63 to cooperate with the toothed plate 61 to drive the mounting frame 2 to move. While the shaft end of the motor 62 rotates, its shaft end will also drive the active pulley 67 to cooperate with the transmission belt 68 to drive the driven pulley 66 to rotate. The driven pulley 66 drives the sponge roller 65 to rotate to clean the toothed plate 61. At this time, the oil tank 71 follows behind and uses the oil brush 72 to oil the toothed plate 61. The sludge cleaned by the sponge roller 65 will be scraped off by the oil scraper 74 and stored in the waste box 73.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
