[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 The figure shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] The robot for taking and placing oven material boxes includes a base 10 and a vertical movable frame 20 that moves up and down along the height direction of the base 10. The vertical movable frame 20 and the base 10 are slidably matched through a vertical power drive 30. The vertical power drive 30 is transmission-connected to the vertical movable frame 20. The vertical movable frame 20 is connected to two mechanical racks 40 for taking and placing material boxes side by side and a horizontal power drive 50 that drives the two mechanical racks 40 to take and place material boxes synchronously. The horizontal power drive 50 is located between the two mechanical racks 40. An anti-falling device 60 for controlling the vertical movable frame 20 to stop moving is installed on the top of the base 10, and the anti-falling device 60 cooperates with the vertical power drive 30.

[0028] The above-mentioned robot for picking up and placing oven material boxes, the machine base 10 can drive two side-by-side mechanical racks 40 to be compatible with the picking up and placing of material boxes on both sides through the horizontal power drive 50 and the vertical power drive 30, thereby increasing the number of materials it can carry. Its picking and placing design improves the working efficiency of the robot and solves the problem of high production costs caused by manual picking up and placing of material boxes; the anti-fall device 60 can prevent the vertical moving rack 20 and the mechanical rack 40 from falling down and being damaged when the vertical power drive 30 is powered off.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mechanical insertion rack 40 includes a transverse movable rack 41 and multiple insertion arms 42. The transverse movable rack 41 is transmission-connected to the transverse power driver 50, and the insertion arms 42 are movably connected to the transverse movable rack 41. The multiple insertion arms 42 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the transverse movable rack 41.

[0030] The mechanical insertion rack 40 can take and place multiple material boxes through multiple insertion arms 42, and the horizontal movable rack 41 can increase the load of the structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the horizontal moving frame 41 is connected to a first cylinder 43 that drives multiple arms 42 to move up and down along the height direction of the moving frame. The first cylinder 43 is connected to the arms 42 via a telescopic shaft. In this way, the first cylinder 43 can drive the multiple arms 42 to move up and down to pick up and place the material box.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vertical power driver 30 includes a drive motor 31 and two screws 32 arranged side by side and spaced apart. The bottom of the screw 32 is rotatably mounted on the machine base 10. The screw 32 is connected to a first synchronous wheel 33. The two first synchronous wheels 33 are linked together by a transmission belt 34. The drive motor 31 is connected to a second synchronous wheel 35. The second synchronous wheel 35 is engaged with the first synchronous wheel 33 through a transmission belt 34. The vertical movable frame 20 is sleeved on the screw 32, and the screw 32 is threadedly connected to the vertical movable frame 20.

[0033] The driving motor 31 drives the transmission belt 34 through the second synchronous wheel 35 , and the transmission belt 34 is in transmission connection with the two first synchronous wheels 33 , thereby driving the two screw rods 32 to rotate, and the vertical movable frame 20 is driven to move up and down through the two screw rods 32 .

[0034] In this embodiment, a vertical track 11 is provided on the machine base 10 . The vertical track 11 is extended along the height direction of the machine base 10 , and the vertical track 11 is in sliding cooperation with the vertical movable frame 20 .

[0035] The machine base 10 allows the vertical movable frame 20 to slide up and down via the vertical rails 11 , thereby increasing the stability and movement accuracy of the vertical movable frame 20 during the sliding process.

[0036] In this embodiment, a ratchet 36 is sleeved on the top of the screw rod 32 . The ratchet 36 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 32 , and the ratchet 36 is movably engaged with the anti-fall device 60 .

[0037] The anti-fall device 60 includes a second cylinder 61 and a telescopically movable pawl 62. One end of the pawl 62 is inserted into the second cylinder 61, and the other end of the pawl 62 is arranged opposite to the ratchet 36. An elastic member is connected between the pawl 62 and the second cylinder 61 to elastically drive the pawl 62 to move toward the ratchet 36.

[0038] When the second air cylinder 61 is energized and ventilated, the cylinder generates suction to attract the pawl 62, and the pawl 62 is spaced apart from the ratchet wheel 36;

[0039] When the second cylinder 61 is powered off and the air is cut off, the elastic member drives the pawl 62 to abut against the ratchet 36 using its own elastic force, thereby limiting the rotation of the ratchet 36 and the screw 32 .

[0040] The anti-falling device 60 abuts against the ratchet 36 via the pawl 62, thereby limiting the rotation of the screw 32 and preventing the vertical movable rack 20 and the mechanical inserting rack 40 from falling downward and being damaged.

[0041] In this embodiment, two balancing devices 70 are installed on the base 10. The two balancing devices 70 are located on both sides of the base 10 and are respectively connected to both sides of the vertical movable frame 20. In this way, the vertical movable frame 20 runs smoothly, with less wear and high precision.

[0042] In this embodiment, the balancing device 70 includes a pull rope 71, a balancing cylinder 72, and a buffer telescopic rod 73. The bottom of the balancing cylinder 72 is connected to the machine base 10, and the bottom of the buffer telescopic rod 73 is inserted into the top of the balancing cylinder 72. The top of the buffer telescopic rod 73 is connected to a rotatable wire pulley 74. One end of the pull rope 71 is connected to a fixed block 75, and the other end of the pull rope 71 passes around the wire pulley 74 and is connected to the vertical movable frame 20.

[0043] The balancing cylinder 72 lifts the wire pulley 74 through the buffer telescopic rod 73, and the two ends of the pull rope 71 are respectively connected to the fixed block 75 and the vertical movable frame 20. The pull rope 71 is mounted on the wire pulley 74, thereby playing a buffering role for the vertical movable frame 20 during the up and down movement, making the vertical power drive 30 and the vertical movable frame 20 easier, smoother, and more durable, and the transmission parts have less wear and high precision.

[0044] In this embodiment, a high-pressure nitrogen tank 76 is connected to the balancing cylinder 72, and the wire pulley 74, the buffer telescopic rod 73, and the balancing cylinder 72 are connected in sequence from top to bottom to form a buffer support rod, the height of which is less than the height of the machine base 10.

[0045] The balancing cylinder 72 can be provided with gas energy by a high-pressure nitrogen tank 76; the structural design of the buffer support rod's range extension mechanism makes the overall structure of the balancing device 70 within the height of the manipulator, avoiding additional height increase and meeting the needs of more low-space sites.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
