[0017] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , 2As shown, a cross truss manipulator includes a fixed frame 1 and a lifting frame 7 arranged in a cross pattern. The fixed frame 1 is provided with a horizontally extending transverse guide rail 4, and a vertical guide rail 11 is fixedly provided on a slider of the transverse guide rail 4. The lifting frame 7 is slidably connected with the vertical guide rail 11; a first servo motor 2 and a second servo motor 10 are respectively provided at both ends of the fixed frame 1, and the first servo motor 2 drives a first driving wheel 3 installed on the fixed frame 1 to rotate, and the second servo motor 10 drives a second driving wheel 9 installed on the fixed frame 1 to rotate; two groups of first guide wheel groups and second guide wheel groups are also provided on the slider of the transverse guide rail 4, which are respectively located on both sides of the lifting frame 7, and the first guide wheel group includes two first guide wheel groups of the same specification and arranged up and down. Wheel 6, the second guide wheel group includes two second guide wheels 8 of the same specification arranged up and down; the top of the lifting frame 7 is also rotatably provided with a lifting wheel 12 which is lifted and lowered along the vertical guide rail 11 with the lifting frame 7; the first clamping piece 14 and the second clamping piece 15 are fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom end of the lifting frame 7, which are respectively located below the first guide wheel group and below the second guide wheel group; the first end of the synchronous belt 5 is clamped in the first clamping piece 14, and then passes through the first guide wheel 6 below, the first driving wheel 3, the first guide wheel 6 above, the lifting wheel 12 on the top of the lifting frame 7, the second guide wheel 8 above, the second driving wheel 9, and the second guide wheel 8 below in sequence, and finally the second end of the synchronous belt 5 is clamped in the second clamping piece 15 at the bottom of the lifting frame 7.
