Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable reel technology, specifically a truss manipulator gripper for cable reels. Background Technology
[0002] Cable reels are reels used by industrial and mining enterprises to wind electrical wires and cables. They are widely used in oil fields and mines, construction sites, machinery manufacturing units, research institutions, ports and docks, shopping malls, hotels, road and bridge construction, and many other industries. With the diversification of industrial needs, mobile cable reels have become a new favorite in the cable reel market, not only improving the production environment but also increasing production efficiency. They are also essential for infrastructure construction, used in industries such as steel smelting, electronics, petrochemicals, mining, power, railways, construction sites, and mining plants.
[0003] The gantry-type robotic gripper for cable reels is used to remove or place cable reels from or into the shelving unit. To ensure that cable reels can enter and exit the shelving unit smoothly, the original double-sided gripping mechanism has been abandoned, and a cantilever structure has been adopted to remove or place the cable reels.
[0004] Currently, electro-permanent magnets are used to hold cable reel workpieces to ensure their stability during handling. However, when the electro-permanent magnets malfunction, maintenance takes time, which delays the work progress. Therefore, an improved design of a gantry robot gripper for cable reels is needed. Utility Model Content
