[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the double-arm truss manipulator of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a first truss manipulator 101 and a second truss manipulator 102 arranged on the base 1. The first truss manipulator 101 and the second truss manipulator 102 both include a crossbeam 2 fixedly arranged on the base 1, a movable seat 3 slidably connected to the crossbeam 2, a horizontal driving mechanism 4 for driving the movable seat 3 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, a vertical beam 5 slidably connected to the movable seat 3, a vertical driving mechanism 6 for driving the vertical beam 5 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, and a clamp 7 arranged on the vertical beam 5. The double-arm truss manipulator is provided with the first truss manipulator 101 and the second truss manipulator 102 on the base 1, and has a compact structure and good compatibility. It solves the technical problem in the prior art that only a single spindle can be automatically loaded and unloaded, and can realize simultaneous loading and unloading of double-head vertical lathes with double spindles and double fixtures of machining centers. It has a wide range of applications and effectively improves production efficiency.

[0022] Preferably, an accordion cover 8 is provided at one end of the cross beam 2 , one end of the accordion cover 8 is a fixed end 801 , and the other end is a movable end 802 , and the fixed end 801 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 2 .

[0023] Preferably, the movable end 802 is provided with an adsorption sheet metal 9, the cross beam 2 is provided with a magnetic baffle 10 with a magnet, and the movable seat 3 is provided with a magnetic sheet metal 11 with a magnet. When the movable seat 3 moves toward the side close to the accordion cover 8, the magnetic sheet metal 11 passes through the magnetic baffle 10 and is magnetically connected to the adsorption sheet metal 9. When the movable seat 3 moves away from the accordion cover 8, the magnetic sheet metal 11 passes through the magnetic baffle 10 and releases the magnetic connection with the adsorption sheet metal 9, and the magnetic baffle 10 is magnetically connected to the adsorption sheet metal 9. In this embodiment, the function of the magnetic baffle 10 installed on the crossbeam 2 is to distinguish the space inside and outside the machine tool. The crossbeam 2 is bounded by the magnetic baffle 10, the side close to the accordion cover 8 is the inside of the machine tool, and the side away from the accordion cover 8 is the outside of the machine tool, so that the accordion cover 8 can only move on the inside of the machine tool. When the movable seat 3 moves toward the inside of the machine tool, the magnetic sheet metal 11 will pass through the magnetic baffle 10 and abut against the adsorption sheet metal 9 for magnetic attraction, and the movable seat 3 drives the movable end 802 to move toward the fixed end 801. When the movable seat 3 moves toward the outside of the machine tool, the magnetic sheet metal 11 will pass through the magnetic baffle 10 again, and the magnetic baffle 10 will abut against the adsorption sheet metal 9 for magnetic attraction, and the adsorption sheet metal 9 and the magnetic sheet metal 11 will be released from the magnetic connection, so that the movable end 802 stays at the machine tool protective door, thereby playing a waterproof and chip-proof role for the moving parts inside the machine tool.

[0024] Preferably, the horizontal driving mechanism 4 includes a first rack 401 fixedly disposed on the crossbeam 2, a first driving motor 402 fixedly disposed on the movable seat 3, and a first driving gear 403 disposed at the output end of the first driving motor 402, and the first driving gear 403 is meshingly connected with the first rack 401.

[0025] Preferably, the vertical drive mechanism 6 includes a second rack 601 fixedly arranged on the vertical beam 5, a second drive motor 602 fixedly arranged on the movable seat 3, and a second driving gear 603 arranged at the output end of the second drive motor 602, and the second driving gear 603 is meshed and connected with the second rack 601. In this embodiment, the horizontal drive mechanism 4 and the vertical drive mechanism 6 both adopt the form of gear rack transmission, which has the advantages of compact structure, high transmission efficiency and good operation stability. In other embodiments, the horizontal drive mechanism 4 and the vertical drive mechanism 6 can also adopt synchronous belt transmission, chain transmission, telescopic cylinder transmission and other components with reciprocating movement function, which are not limited to this embodiment.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in actual application, the double-arm truss manipulator of the utility model is installed in front of the double-head vertical lathe 100, the workpiece bin 200 and the unloading conveyor line 300 are installed in front of the double-arm truss manipulator, and the distance between the first truss manipulator 101 and the second truss manipulator 102 is adjusted according to the double spindle distance of the double-head vertical lathe 100, which can realize simultaneous loading and unloading of the double spindles, effectively improving production efficiency; in order to improve the cutting fluid and chip protection during processing, the conventional truss manipulator will increase the overall height of the truss so that the truss body is located outside the machine tool, but this makes the equipment height higher, the upper and lower axis strokes longer, and the rigidity worse, while the crossbeam 2 part of the first truss manipulator 101 and the second truss manipulator 102 of the utility model is located Inside the lathe, the overall height of the equipment is lowered, the upper and lower axis strokes are shortened, the rigidity of the equipment is improved, and it is suitable for some low factories. An accordion cover 8 is provided at one end of the crossbeam 2 located inside the lathe. When the movable seat 3 moves toward the inside of the machine tool, the magnetic sheet metal 11 will pass through the magnetic baffle 10 and abut against the adsorption sheet metal 9 for magnetic attraction. The movable seat 3 drives the movable end 802 to move toward the fixed end 801. When the movable seat 3 moves toward the outside of the machine tool, the magnetic sheet metal 11 will pass through the magnetic baffle 10 again, and the magnetic baffle 10 will abut against the adsorption sheet metal 9 for magnetic attraction, and the adsorption sheet metal 9 and the magnetic sheet metal 11 will be released from the magnetic connection, so that the movable end 802 stays at the machine tool protective door, thereby playing a role of waterproofing and chip prevention for the moving parts located inside the machine tool, and the protection effect is good.

[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, improvements and changes obtained without departing from the technical concept of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
