[0043] Example 1
[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model discloses a kind of visual auxiliary positioning devices used for truss manipulator, including,
[0045] The truss manipulator body 100 comprises support legs 101 fixed at the lower end of the four corners of the truss manipulator body 100, and visual sensors 102 symmetrically arranged at both sides of the truss manipulator body 100.

[0047] The adjusting structure two 300 comprises a mounting frame 301 arranged at one end of the stroke plate 203, guide rails 307 fixedly arranged at the upper end of the mounting frame 301 and equidistantly arranged, a sliding sleeve two 308 embeddedly installed in the inside of the mounting frame 301, a pull plate 302 arranged below the mounting frame 301, a positioning rod 306 slidingly inserted into the inside of the sliding sleeve two 308 and arranged at the upper end of the pull plate 302, and a spring two 303 fixedly arranged between the pull plate 302 and the mounting frame 301.
[0048] The outer wall of the visual sensor 102 is provided with a mounting plate 105, and the lower end of the mounting plate 105 is provided with a sliding seat 104 slidingly sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rail 307.
[0049] The inside of both ends of the mounting plate 105 is provided with a positioning hole 103, and the upper end of the positioning rod 306 is slidingly inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 103.
[0050] The inside of the mounting frame 301 is embeddedly installed with a guide sleeve 305, and the upper end of the pull plate 302 is provided with a guide rod 304 slidingly inserted into the inside of the guide sleeve 305 and arranged in the inside of the spring two 303.

[0052] The adjusting structure one 200 and the adjusting structure two 300 are used.
[0053] In the use of the truss manipulator body 100, the surrounding environment is captured by the visual sensor 102 on both sides, and the target object is identified and positioned using the corresponding algorithm. The visual sensor 102 can also be used to detect obstacles, helping the truss manipulator to avoid obstacles and ensure safe operation. By analyzing real-time image data, the system can accurately control the position, direction and speed of the truss manipulator to achieve accurate grasping or placing of the target.
[0054] In use, the grip handle 207 drives the insertion rod 201 to move, thereby applying a squeezing force to the spring through the limiting ring 208, and moving the insertion block 206 out of the insertion hole 202 through the insertion rod 201.

Because the visual sensor 102 is fixed on the mounting plate 105, the positioning rod 306 is inserted into the positioning hole 103 through the elastic support, and the mounting plate 105 is fixed. The mounting plate 105 is positioned, and the visual sensor 102 is positioned, and the visual sensor 102 is adjusted in the longitudinal and reciprocating positions. When the truss manipulator body 100 carries different goods and the moving track changes, the visual sensor 102 can be quickly adjusted, and the flexibility of the visual sensor 102 is improved.
