Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of hoisting equipment, in particular to a KBK truss manipulator. Background Art
[0002] The currently available lifting equipment mainly uses manual overhead cranes and single-arm overhead cranes as the main lifting methods.
[0003] Manual overhead cranes: Relying on manual operation, the lifting and moving speeds are relatively slow, and the time required to complete the same lifting task is long, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency operations. Operators need to operate manually, such as pulling handles, turning wheels, etc., which can easily lead to fatigue after working for a long time. In addition, the operator has high physical strength requirements, which may increase the operator's physical burden and labor intensity, and may even cause operational errors due to fatigue, posing a safety hazard. The power that can be provided by manual drive is limited, resulting in certain restrictions on the weight of the objects that can be lifted. It is usually unable to handle overweight objects and is not suitable for some scenarios that require lifting large, heavy equipment or cargo. Compared with electric or automated overhead cranes, manual operation has relatively poor accuracy in controlling lifting height and position, making it difficult to achieve precise positioning and fine-tuning, which may affect some tasks that require precise lifting position and height.
[0004] Single-arm cantilever crane: The length and rotation angle of the single arm determine that its working coverage has certain limitations. It is impossible to achieve all-round lifting operations within a large space. In situations where a large area of the working area needs to be covered, it may be necessary to move the position frequently to complete the work, affecting work efficiency. When lifting heavy objects, the single-arm overhead crane is prone to instability because the center of gravity is relatively concentrated on one side. If the ground is uneven or the foundation is not solid, or if there is improper operation during the lifting process or the weight is unevenly distributed, the single-arm overhead crane may be in danger of overturning, posing a threat to the safety of surrounding personnel and equipment.
[0005] In summary, we need to design a new type of lifting equipment with a modular crane (KBK, the abbreviation of KombiniertKran in German) to overcome the problems of traditional manual overhead cranes and single-arm cantilever cranes, which have poor mobility and adjustability and cannot achieve efficient and high-quality production capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To this end, the utility model proposes a KBK truss manipulator, comprising: a frame system, a mobile suspension, and a sports car system; the frame system comprises a column, a fixed guide rail, a crossbeam and a mobile guide rail; the mobile guide rail is vertically arranged to the fixed guide rail and is slidingly connected through a group of sports car systems; the mobile suspension comprises a mobile bracket, a Z-axis travel frame, a Z-axis guide rail, a rotating support, a Z-axis fixed frame, a hoisting suspension, an operating rail, a fixed frame side plate, and a guide rail fixed side plate; the mobile bracket is slidingly connected to the mobile guide rail through another group of sports car systems, the Z-axis fixed frame is fixed to the lower end of the mobile bracket, the Z-axis travel frame is sleeved in the Z-axis fixed frame, and the Z-axis travel frame is hoisted above by an electric hoist chain, and the hoisting suspension is rotatably connected to the lower end of the Z-axis travel frame through a rotating support; the hoisting suspension can rotate 360 degrees during the hoisting process.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the columns are fixed to the installation ground by expansion screws respectively, and the columns and the beams are locked by screws to form an overall frame structure.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the fixed guide rail and the crossbeam are locked by screws to form an X-axis travel structure of the KBK truss manipulator.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the Z-axis travel frame is fixed to two Z-axis guide rails by screws, and the sliding of the movable suspension on the Z-axis can be achieved by cooperating the Z-axis guide rails with the guide rail sliders (211).
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the side plates of the fixing frame are connected to the guide rail slider (211) and the Z-axis fixing frame via screws.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the sports car system includes an electric sports car and a driven sports car; the electric sports car and the driven sports car are connected by designated latch screws.

[0016] The KBK truss manipulator provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The X / Y axes utilize a dual-axis, dual-track design. The dual-axis tracks provide two support points and guide paths for the hoisted object, ensuring smoother movement and less sway or tilt during lifting. This dual-axis, dual-track design effectively distributes stress during lifting, reducing wear on the tracks and lifting equipment, extending equipment life, and lowering maintenance costs. Through rational design and layout, the dual-axis, dual-track design can withstand greater weights. For lifting heavy equipment and large structures, the dual-axis, dual-track design provides more reliable support and load-bearing capacity, ensuring safe lifting operations. The dual-axis, dual-track design provides more precise guidance for the lifting equipment, ensuring the hoisted object moves along a predetermined trajectory, enhancing lifting accuracy and precision. In applications where precise positioning is crucial, such as equipment installation in factory workshops or the hoisting of precision instruments, the dual-axis, dual-track design ensures precise positioning. This helps reduce sway and vibration during lifting, ensuring a more stable arrival of the hoisted object at the designated location and reducing the workload associated with readjustment and installation due to lifting errors. The reliability of dual-axis and dual-track can reduce safety risks and improve operation safety.
[0018] 2. Rotating structure design. A rotating support is added to the mobile suspension structure to enable 360-degree rotation of the hoisting suspension during operation, and is equipped with a pneumatic locking function. During the hoisting process, the rotating function of the hoisting suspension structure makes the force more even, reducing vibration caused by uneven external force. The rotating structure design allows items to be smoothly hoisted to the designated location without changing their orientation, which plays a key role in position adjustments other than vertical directions. The rotating structure design allows for precise alignment and installation during the hoisting process, improving hoisting accuracy and quality.
[0019] 3. Z-axis guide rail cantilever frame design. The Z-axis guide rail cantilever frame for hoisting utilizes a combination of high-precision guide rails and sliders, which helps reduce vibration and noise during movement and improves operational smoothness. This design offers high structural rigidity, as the guide rails themselves can withstand heavy loads and maintain stability, making hoisting operations safer and more reliable. The guide rail design helps reduce error accumulation, as the rails themselves serve as a fixed reference. This ensures high accuracy throughout the entire movement process. In the event of an emergency, the frame design is also equipped with an emergency stop mechanism that instantly interrupts all movement, ensuring the safety of both operators and equipment.
[0020] In addition to the above-described purposes, features and advantages, the present application also has other purposes, features and advantages. The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the KBK truss manipulator of the present invention includes: a frame system 1, a mobile suspension 2, and a sports car system 3.
[0035] Specifically, if Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, the frame system 1 includes columns 11, fixed guide rails 12, crossbeams 13, and movable guide rails 14. The four columns 11 are fixed to the installation ground with expansion screws and screwed to the two crossbeams 13 to form the overall frame structure. The two fixed guide rails 12 and crossbeams 13 are also screwed to form the X-axis travel structure of the KBK truss robot.
[0036] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the fixed guide rail 12 and the movable guide rail 14 are connected in a sliding manner through the sports car system 3 to realize the mobility of the mobile suspension 2 in the X axis. The fixed guide rail 12 is connected in a sliding manner to the sports car system 3. The two movable guide rails 14 are connected to the fixed guide rail 12 through the sports car system 3 to form the Y axis travel structure of the KBK truss manipulator. Among them, the connection method between the movable guide rail 14 and the sports car system 3 is as follows Figure 6 ; The fixed rail 12 is connected to the sports car system 3 as shown Figure 4 .
[0037] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the mobile suspension 2 includes a mobile bracket 21, a Z-axis travel frame 22, a Z-axis guide rail 23, a rotating support 24, a Z-axis fixed frame 25, a hanging suspension 26, an operating rail 27, a fixed frame side plate 28, and a guide rail fixed side plate 29.
[0038] The mobile bracket 21 is connected to the mobile guide rail 14 through another set of sports car systems 3, enabling the mobile suspension 2 to move in the Y-axis direction. The mobile bracket 21 is screwed to the Z-axis fixed frame 25 to form the Z-axis travel structure of the KBK truss manipulator.
[0039] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the Z-axis travel frame 22 is hoisted above by an electric hoist chain, and the electric hoist is used to control the movement of the mobile suspension 2 on the Z axis. The Z-axis travel frame 22 is fixed to two Z-axis guide rails 23 by screws. The Z-axis guide rails 23 cooperate with the guide rail sliders 211 to realize the sliding force of the mobile suspension 2 on the Z axis.
[0040] The fixed frame side panels 28 are screwed to the guide rail sliders 211 and the Z-axis fixed frame 25, securing the sliding mechanism to the Z-axis travel frame 22. The Z-axis travel frame 22 is screwed to the inner plate of the rotating support 24. The hanging bracket 26 is screwed to the outer plate of the rotating support 24. The rotational bearings on the inner and outer plates of the rotating support 24 allow the hanging bracket 26 to rotate 360 degrees during installation. The operating rail 27 is screwed to the hanging bracket 26 and is used to position electrical operating equipment.
[0041] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the sports car system 3 includes an electric sports car 31 and a driven sports car 32. The electric sports car 31 and the driven sports car 32 are connected by designated latch screws. The rollers form a rolling structure with the fixed guide rail 12 and the movable guide rail 14, and the latch screws form a fixed structure with the movable bracket 21 and the movable guide rail 14, thereby enabling the movable suspension 2 to move in the X-axis direction of the fixed guide rail 12 and the Y-axis direction of the movable guide rail 14.
