[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides an equidistant transport and lifting mechanism, comprising a base 1 , a connecting seat 2 , a support frame 4 , a first driving member 3 , and a second driving member 5 .

[0033] Wherein, the base 1 is provided with a first slide rail 6 extending along a first direction X. The connecting seat 2 is arranged above the base 1, and the connecting seat 2 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 6 through a first slider 7. The connecting seat 2 is provided with a second slide rail 8 extending along a vertical direction Z. The first driving member 3 is connected to the connecting seat 2, and is used to drive the connecting seat 2 to move along the first direction X. The support frame 4 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 8 through a second slider 9. A plurality of support arms 41 are provided on a side of the support frame 4 away from the connecting seat 2, and the upper surfaces of the support arms 41 are flush and are used to support workpieces. The plurality of support arms 41 are spaced apart in the second direction Y, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the vertical direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The second driving member 5 is connected to the support frame 4, and is used to drive the support frame 4 to move along the vertical direction Z.

[0034] The equidistant transport and lifting mechanism provided in this embodiment can support the workpiece by setting a plurality of support arms 41 with flush upper surfaces; by setting a connecting seat 2 with a second slide rail 8, the second slide rail 8 extends along the vertical direction Z, and the support frame 4 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 8 through the second slider 9, so that the support frame 4 can drive the support arm 41 to move along the vertical direction Z to achieve the lifting of the workpiece; by setting a base 1 with a first slide rail 6, the first slide rail 6 extends along the first direction X, and the connecting seat 2 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 6 through the first slider 7, so that the connecting seat 2 can drive the support frame 4 to move along the first direction X to achieve horizontal transport of the workpiece. By limiting the length of the first slide rail 6, the distance that the support frame 4 moves along the first direction X each time can be equal, so that equidistant transport is achieved. Therefore, the equidistant transport and lifting mechanism has a simple structure, has the functions of equidistant transport and lifting, and can transport the workpiece to an appropriate position.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two first slide rails 6, and the two first slide rails 6 are spaced apart in the second direction Y. The first slide rails 6 are arranged close to the edge of the base 1, so that the movement of the connecting seat 2 along the first direction X can be more stable and reliable.

[0036] Specifically, the connection base 2 includes a horizontal rod 21, a vertical rod 22 and a first reinforcement plate 23. The horizontal rod 21 is fixedly connected to the first slider 7, the vertical rod 22 is located at one end of the horizontal rod 21 along the first direction X, and the first reinforcement plate 23 is located between the horizontal rod 21 and the vertical rod 22 to improve the strength of the connection base 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is a hollow rectangle, and a guide rod 11 is provided at the center of the base 1 in the second direction Y. The guide rod 11 extends along the first direction X and can further guide the linear movement of the connecting base 2. Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal rod 21 is connected to the guide rod 11 through the guide block 12. In addition to the guiding function, it can also support the connecting seat 2 to ensure its stability.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are two second slide rails 8, and the two second slide rails 8 are respectively arranged on two vertical rods 22 of the connecting seat 2 that are opposite to each other in the second direction Y, so that the movement of the support frame 4 along the vertical direction Z can be more stable and reliable.

[0039] Specifically, in the second direction Y, the size of the connecting seat 2 is equal to the distance between the two first slide rails 6 and is smaller than the size of the base 1. In the first direction X, the size of the connecting seat 2 is smaller than the size of the base 1, which can ensure that the base 1 has sufficient support for the connecting seat 2. The size of the base 1 is smaller than the size of the support frame 4, which ensures that the support frame 4 has a larger size, so that it can support not only smaller workpieces but also larger workpieces, thereby expanding the scope of application.

[0040] In order to reinforce the support arm 41, the support frame 4 is provided with a second reinforcement plate 42 below the support arm 41, and the second reinforcement plate 42 is located at one end of the support arm 41 close to the connecting seat 2 in the first direction X. Preferably, the lengths of the plurality of support arms 41 are equal and they are aligned in the second direction Y, so that the overall mechanism has symmetry and is more stable.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first driving member 3 is located on one side of the base 1 in the first direction X, and the second driving member 5 is located on one side of the connecting seat 2 in the first direction X. The first driving member 3 and the second driving member 5 are located on the same side in the first direction X, which can make the structure more compact and facilitate the layout of other components.

[0042] Furthermore, the first driving member 3 is located at the center of the base 1 in the second direction Y, and the second driving member 5 is located at the center of the connecting seat 2 in the second direction Y, so that the overall mechanism has symmetry, thereby the mechanism operates more stably.

There is no order of precedence between the two, and they cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of this specification, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

[0044] Any numerical value cited herein includes all values ​​of lower and upper values ​​that increase by one unit from the lower limit to the upper limit, and there is at least a two-unit interval between any lower value and any higher value. For example, if the value of the quantity of a component or a process variable (such as temperature, pressure, time, etc.) is stated to be from 1 to 90, preferably from 20 to 80, and more preferably from 30 to 70, the purpose is to illustrate that values ​​such as 15 to 85, 22 to 68, 43 to 51, 30 to 32 are also explicitly listed in the specification. For values ​​less than 1, one unit is appropriately considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1. These are merely examples that are intended to be clearly expressed, and it can be considered that all possible combinations of numerical values ​​listed between the lowest value and the highest value are clearly stated in the specification in a similar manner.

[0045] Unless otherwise indicated, all ranges include the endpoints and all numbers between the endpoints. "About" or "approximately" used with a range applies to both endpoints of the range. Thus, "about 20 to 30" is intended to cover "about 20 to about 30", including at least the specified endpoints.
