For example, during the handling process, especially when the material weight distribution is uneven, the equipment may encounter stability problems, affecting its handling efficiency and safety. Moreover, when precise positioning in the vertical direction or handling heavier materials is required, the existing cantilever loaders cannot provide sufficient stability and accuracy. In addition, when the equipment needs to handle materials at different heights, the existing loaders require additional adjustment or auxiliary equipment to achieve this, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also reduces the production efficiency. To solve the above-mentioned problems, the utility model provides a cantilever loader. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation manners
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0020] As Figures 1-5 shown, a cantilever loader proposed in an embodiment of the present utility model includes: columns 1, with two in number, and the two columns 1 are symmetrically distributed;
[0021] X-axis guide rail 2, which is fixedly installed between the two columns 1. An X-axis slide plate 3 is slidably installed on the top of the X-axis guide rail 2. A mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the X-axis slide plate 3. An X-axis motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 4. An X-axis gear 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the X-axis motor 5. An X-axis rack 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the X-axis guide rail 2. The X-axis gear 6 meshes with the X-axis rack 7;
[0022] Fixing plate 8, which is fixedly installed on the top of the X-axis slide plate 3. One end of the fixing plate 8 is fixedly installed with a counterweight box 9. The other end of the fixing plate 8 is installed with a mounting frame 10. A Z-axis guide rail 11 is slidably inserted into the mounting frame 10. A driving assembly 12 for driving the Z-axis guide rail 11 to move up and down is installed on the mounting frame 10;
[0023] Connecting plate 13, the connecting plate 13 is installed at the bottom end of the Z-axis guide rail 11, and two suction cups 14 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 13. The cantilever loader is mainly used to handle large-area plate materials.
[0024] The cantilever loader includes two symmetrically distributed columns 1, which provide a stable support structure for the entire device. Between these two columns 1, an X-axis guide rail 2 is fixedly installed. The top of this guide rail is designed with an X-axis slide plate 3 that can slide along it. The top of the X-axis slide plate 3 is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 4, and an X-axis motor 5 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 4. The X-axis motor 5 meshes with an X-axis rack 7 at the top of the X-axis guide rail 2 through an X-axis gear 6 at its output end, so as to achieve precise movement and positioning of the fixing plate 8 in the X-axis direction. To enhance the stability and load capacity of the device, a counterweight box 9 is connected to the top of the X-axis slide plate 3 through the fixing plate 8 to balance the torque generated during the operation of the device. Appropriate counterweight blocks can be added to the counterweight box 9 according to the actual situation to balance the weight of the corresponding wooden board, so that during the handling process, the weight borne by the device is evenly distributed, improving the stability and safety of the handling. The other end of the fixing plate 8 is installed with a mounting frame 10, and a Z-axis guide rail 11 is slidably inserted into the mounting frame 10. The up and down movement of the Z-axis guide rail 11 is controlled by a driving component 12 installed on the mounting frame 10 to achieve precise positioning in the vertical direction. The connecting plate 13 is installed at the bottom end of the Z-axis guide rail 11, and two suction cups 14 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged at its bottom. These two suction cups 14 are key components for adsorbing and handling materials. They are connected to the Z-axis guide rail 11 through the connecting plate 13 to ensure the adsorption force and stability in the vertical direction. When the cantilever loader starts to work, the X-axis motor 5 starts, and through the meshing of the X-axis gear 6 and the X-axis rack 7, it drives the X-axis slide plate 3 to move horizontally along the X-axis guide rail 2 to achieve the lateral positioning of the material. At the same time, the driving component 12 controls the vertical movement of the Z-axis guide rail 11, so that the suction cups 14 can reach the material position at the required height. Once the material is adsorbed in place, the entire cantilever loader can work together to transport the material to the designated position and complete the loading process. This design not only improves the handling efficiency, but also expands the application range of the cantilever loader through precise control in the vertical direction, enabling it to adapt to the handling requirements of more types of materials.
[0025] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the driving component 12 includes a Z-axis motor 121 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 10, a Z-axis gear 122 is fixedly installed at the output end of the Z-axis motor 121, a Z-axis rack 123 is fixedly installed on one side of the Z-axis guide rail 11, and the Z-axis gear 122 meshes with the Z-axis rack 123.
[0026] The output end of the Z-axis motor 121 is connected to the Z-axis gear 122, and the Z-axis gear 122 is designed to mesh with the Z-axis rack 123 on one side of the Z-axis guide rail 11. This design allows the Z-axis motor 121 to drive the Z-axis rack 123 through the Z-axis gear 122, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the Z-axis guide rail 11. When the Z-axis motor 121 is started, through the meshing mechanism of the gear and the rack, it converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the Z-axis guide rail 11. This conversion not only provides precise vertical positioning ability, but also through precise control of the motor speed and torque, can achieve precise control of the moving speed and position of the Z-axis guide rail 11. In addition, the fixed installation method of the Z-axis motor 121 and the Z-axis gear 122 ensures the stability and reliability of the entire drive assembly 12.
[0027] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the connecting plate 13 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the Z-axis guide rail 11, and a rotating assembly 15 for driving the connecting plate 13 is installed on the Z-axis guide rail 11. The rotating assembly 15 includes a positioning plate 151 fixedly installed at the bottom of the Z-axis guide rail 11. A first gear 152 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the positioning plate 151, and the first gear 152 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 13. A rotating motor 153 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning plate 151, and a second gear 154 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotating motor 153. The first gear 152 and the second gear 154 are meshed.
[0028] The positioning plate 151 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the Z-axis guide rail 11, serving as the base of the rotating assembly 15. The first gear 152 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the positioning plate 151 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 13. The rotating motor 153 is fixedly installed on one side of the positioning plate 151, responsible for providing rotational power. The second gear 154 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 153 and meshes with the first gear 152. This meshing relationship ensures that the rotation of the motor can be directly transmitted to the first gear 152, thereby driving the rotation of the connecting plate 13. When the rotating motor 153 is started, it drives the first gear 152 to rotate through the second gear 154. Since the first gear 152 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 13, the connecting plate 13 will also rotate accordingly. This design not only provides the rotation ability of the cantilever loader in the vertical plane, but also through precise control of the rotation speed and torque of the rotating motor 153, can achieve precise control of the rotation angle and speed of the connecting plate 13, so as to facilitate rotating the adsorbed wooden board according to the actual situation to adjust its placement angle, which is convenient for subsequent processing.
[0029] As Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, a support plate 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the column 1. A moving plate 17 is slidably installed on one side of the support plate 16. Two moving wheels 18 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving plate 17. A lifting assembly 19 for driving the moving plate 17 to move up and down is installed on the support plate 16. The lifting assembly 19 includes a lifting screw rod 191 rotatably installed on one side of the support plate 16. A lifting motor 192 for driving the lifting screw rod 191 to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 16. The output end of the lifting motor 192 is fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting screw rod 191. The lifting screw rod 191 is in threaded connection with the moving plate 17.
