[0030] Refer to Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, a worm gear 2006 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 2004. A worm 2007 is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat 2003 near the worm gear 2006. The worm 2007 meshes with the worm gear 2006.

Embodiment III
[0031] Refer to Figures 1 - 5 As shown in the figure, a pair of mounting seats 1002 are installed at the upper end of the gantry 1001. A first electric slide rail 1003 is installed at the upper end of each of the pair of mounting seats 1002.

A pair of moving seats 1005 are installed between the pair of first electric sliders 1004. A second electric slide rail 1006 is installed at the upper end of each of the pair of moving seats 1005. A second electric slider 1007 is slidably connected to the outside of each of the pair of second electric slide rails 1006. The upper ends of the pair of second electric sliders 1007 are connected to the bottom end of the moving plate 1008. By the combined use of the first electric slide rail 1003 and the first electric slider 1004, it is convenient to realize the lateral movement of a pair of moving seats 1005. By the combined use of the second electric slide rail 1006 and the second electric slider 1007, it is convenient to realize the vertical movement of the moving plate 1008.
[0032] Specifically, the working principle of this gantry transport manipulator is as follows: When in use, first start the cylinder 1009 to facilitate pushing the connecting plate 2001 to move steadily downward under the action of the slide bar 1010, so that the clamping mechanism 300 approaches the material. Then, through the hydraulic rod 3005 on one side of the cross plate 2005, when the hydraulic rod 3005 first pushes the I-shaped plate 3006 downward, a pair of clamping arms 3003 will be opened. At this time, the material is placed between a pair of clamping plates 3004. Then, the I-shaped plate 3006 is lifted by the hydraulic rod 3005, and a pair of clamping arms 3003 are tightened, so as to facilitate the pair of clamping plates 3004 to clamp the material. Then, start the motor 2008 to drive the worm 2007 to rotate. When the worm 2007 rotates, it is convenient to realize the rotation of the worm gear 2006 meshing with the worm 2007, and then the rotating shaft 2004 rotates, driving the cross plate 2005 to rotate, so that the positions of the pair of clamping mechanisms 300 are turned and swapped. Repeat the clamping steps so that the other clamping mechanism 300 also clamps the material, which is convenient to improve the transportation efficiency. Through the coordinated use of the first electric slide rail 1003 and the first electric slider 1004, it is convenient to realize the lateral movement of the pair of moving seats 1005. Through the coordinated use of the second electric slide rail 1006 and the second electric slider 1007, it is convenient to realize the vertical movement of the moving plate 1008 to transport the material.
[0033] It should be noted that for a gantry transport manipulator, the specific model specifications of the first electric slide rail 1003, the first electric slider 1004, the second electric slide rail 1006, the second electric slider 1007, the cylinder 1009, the motor 2008 and the hydraulic rod 3005 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated in detail.
[0034] For a gantry transport manipulator, the power supply and its principle of the first electric slide rail 1003, the first electric slider 1004, the second electric slide rail 1006, the second electric slider 1007, the cylinder 1009, the motor 2008 and the hydraulic rod 3005 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
