[0027] The reducer mounting plate 10 is used to fix the reducer 9 and provide stable support for the reducer 9. The drum input end cover 11 is used to ensure the connection stability between the output end of the reducer 9 and the rope winding drum 12. The rope winding drum 12 is a component for winding and releasing the rope 17. Through the rotation of the output end of the reducer 9, the rope 17 is wound or loosened on the drum, thereby controlling the movement of the mobile platform. The bearing seat 14 is used to fix the bearing 15. The bearing 15 is used to support the output end of the reducer 9 and ensure its smooth rotation.

This achieves the effect of protecting the robot.

[0029] The working principle provided by the present utility model is as follows: The motor 8 on the mounting plate 2 inside the frame 1 performs a rotational motion. At the same time, the motor 8 drives the speed reducer 9 to perform a rotational motion, so that the output end of the speed reducer 9 drives the cable winding drum 12 to perform a rotational motion, causing the driving cable winding drum 12 to drive two ropes 17 to move, completing the tightening of the two ropes 17 on the outer surface of the cable winding drum 12. The two ropes 17 move upward through the rotational guiding action of the two fixed pulley assemblies 20 and the guiding action of the two hollow shafts 21. At the same time, the two ropes 17 also maintain an upward movement through the guiding action of the eccentric guide wheel 2201 and multiple rope retaining rods 23, preventing the two ropes 17 from deviating in angle during the tightening of the ropes 17. The two ropes 17 drive the moving platform to move upward through the rope sleeve 7, causing the moving platform to complete an upward movement. If the two ropes 17 of all or part of the rope assembly break, resulting in a change in the level of the moving platform, the electronic gyroscope 4 that monitors the level of the moving platform in real time determines that the moving platform has a fault, and powers off and emergently stops the robot to prevent the situation of further damage caused by the continuous movement of the robot.

[0030] The circuits and controls involved in the present utility model are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here.

[0031] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
