In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Example

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the gantry frame of the embodiment comprises a gantry body 1, a welding gun 2 movably arranged on the gantry body 1, and a driving assembly arranged between the gantry body 1 and the welding gun 2, wherein the driving assembly is used to drive the welding gun 2 to move in any direction, and the driving assembly comprises a mounting plate slidably connected to the gantry body 1 and a driving motor fixed on the mounting plate, the driving motor is fixedly provided with an extension plate 3, the mounting plate is provided with a distance sensor 4, and the detection end of the distance sensor 4 is spaced apart from the extension plate 3. The distance sensor 4 is preferably a sensor of model E2E-X1C1LJ5A-2.

[0026] Through such a design, the distance between the distance sensor 4 and the extension plate 3 is detected, and the vibration of the driving motor amplifies the extension plate 3, which is convenient for the detection of the distance sensor 4.

[0027] Furthermore, a buffer compression spring 5 is provided between the extension plate 3 and the distance sensor 4 .

[0028] Through such a design, when the vibration amplitude of the driving motor is too large, the buffer compression spring 5 can play a buffering role in order to protect the distance sensor 4.

[0029] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a first driving assembly for driving the welding gun 2 to move along the X-axis direction.

[0030] Specifically, the first driving assembly includes an X-axis column 6 and a first movable plate 7 slidably connected to the X-axis column 6, the X-axis column 6 is fixedly provided with a first rack 8, the extension direction of the first rack 8 is parallel to the axial direction of the X-axis, the first movable plate 7 is rotatably provided with a first gear 9 meshing with the first rack 8, and the first movable plate 7 is fixedly provided with a first motor 10 for driving the first gear 9 to rotate.

[0031] With such a design, the first motor 10 drives the first gear 9 to rotate, and since the X-axis column 6 is fixed, the first movable plate 7 performs sliding motion, thereby realizing the movement of the welding gun 2 in the X-axis direction.

[0032] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a second driving assembly for driving the welding gun 2 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0033] Specifically, the second driving assembly includes a Y-axis column 11 fixedly connected to the first movable plate 7, and a second movable plate 12 slidably connected to the Y-axis column 11, the Y-axis column 11 is fixedly provided with a second rack 13, the extension direction of the second rack 13 is parallel to the axial direction of the Y-axis, the second movable plate 12 is rotatably provided with a second gear 14 meshing with the second rack 13, and the second movable plate 12 is fixedly provided with a second motor 15 for driving the second gear 14 to rotate.

[0034] Through such a design, the second motor 15 drives the second gear 14 to rotate, and the second movable plate 12 performs sliding motion, thereby realizing the movement of the welding gun 2 in the Y-axis direction.

[0035] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a third driving assembly for driving the welding gun 2 to move along the Z-axis direction.

[0036] Specifically, the third driving assembly includes a Z-axis column 16 slidably connected to the second movable plate 12, the Z-axis column 16 is fixedly provided with a third rack 17, the extension direction of the third rack 17 is parallel to the axial direction of the Z-axis, the second movable plate 12 is rotatably provided with a third gear 18 meshing with the third rack 17, and the second movable plate 12 is fixedly provided with a third motor 19 for driving the third gear 18 to rotate; the welding gun 2 is connected to the Z-axis column 16.

[0037] Through such a design, the third motor 19 drives the third gear 18 to rotate, and the Z-axis column 16 performs lifting motion, thereby realizing the movement of the welding gun 2 in the Z-axis direction.

[0038] Furthermore, the X-axis column 6 , the Y-axis column 11 and the Z-axis column 16 are all provided with limiting protrusions 20 .

[0039] This design can prevent the first movable plate 7, the second movable plate 12, and the Z-axis column from moving beyond the rack and falling off.

[0040] Furthermore, a counterweight block 21 is fixedly disposed on the Y-axis column 11 , and the counterweight block 21 and the second movable plate 12 are respectively disposed on two sides of the Y-axis column 11 .

[0041] Through this design, the weight balance of the Y-axis column is achieved to prevent one side from tipping over due to excessive weight.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
