[0055] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the example embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the example embodiments described herein.

[0056] Please combine Figures 1-7 A splicing gantry for a rail carrying robot, the splicing gantry comprising an upright unit 10 extending along a first direction X and a splicing structure 20 for fixedly connecting two ends of a pair of upright units 10 in abutment.

[0057] Wherein, the surface of the upright unit 10 is provided with an inwardly recessed guide groove 14 extending along the first direction X; the splicing structure 20 comprises a positioning column 21, a positioning hole 22 for the positioning column 21 to be inserted, and a connecting piece, the positioning column 21 and the connecting piece extending along the first direction X.

[0058] Wherein, the positioning column 21 and the positioning hole 22 are separately provided on two end surfaces of the pair of upright units 10 in abutment, and the two ends of the connecting piece are fixedly mounted on the two ends of the pair of upright units 10 in abutment along the first direction X.

[0059] And, when the splicing structure 20 fixes and connects the two ends of the pair of column units 10 abutted, the connecting piece avoids the guide groove 14, so that the pair of guide grooves 14 are spliced into a straight line track for the up and down movement of the carrying mechanism 100 of the track carrying robot.

[0060] Overall, the splicing structure of the embodiment can fix and connect the two ends of the pair of column units abutted, forming a spliced column, so that the pair of spliced columns arranged in parallel can form a spliced gantry, thereby prolonging the length of the spliced gantry and the working height of the track carrying robot.

[0061] Of course, the spliced column can also be spliced by three or more column units along the length direction, and it can be understood that the end portions of the column units abutted are fixed and connected by the splicing structure.

[0062] Specifically, the splicing structure of the embodiment includes a positioning hole 22, a positioning column 21 and a connecting piece.

[0063] The positioning column and the positioning hole extend along the first direction, i.e., the length direction of the column unit, and are arranged on the two end faces of the pair of column units abutted; here, it can be understood that the positioning column or the positioning hole can be directly arranged on the end face of the column unit, or it can be understood that the positioning column or the positioning hole can also be arranged on the end face of the column unit through other structures (such as the connecting flange described below) fixed on the end face of the column unit.

[0064] Then, the positioning hole is used for inserting and mounting the positioning column, and it can be understood that the two ends of the pair of column units abutted can be positioned and inserted by the inserting and mounting of the positioning column and the positioning hole.

[0065] The connecting piece extends along the first direction, i.e., the length direction of the column unit, and the two ends of the connecting piece along the first direction are fixed and mounted on the two ends of the pair of column units abutted; here, it can be understood that after the two ends of the pair of column units abutted are positioned and inserted by the positioning column and the positioning hole, the connecting piece can fix and mount the two ends of the pair of column units abutted after the positioning and insertion.

[0066] That is, for the two ends of the pair of column units abutted, the embodiment first realizes the positioning and insertion of the two ends by the positioning column and the positioning hole, and then realizes the fixed connection of the two ends by the connecting piece, so that the splicing operation is simple and the splicing structure is stable.

[0067] It can be understood that the purpose of the connecting piece is to fix and mount the two ends of the pair of column units abutted after the positioning and insertion, and the connecting piece can be a one-piece profile or a split profile, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0068] Furthermore, it is understood that the surface of the column unit should be provided with a concave guide groove, the guide groove extending along the first direction, and after the two ends of the docking of a pair of column units are fixedly installed, the pair of guide grooves can be spliced ​​to form a straight track for the transport mechanism of the track transport robot to move up and down; wherein, the connector in this embodiment should avoid the guide groove to avoid obstructing the up and down movement of the transport mechanism.

[0069] Specifically, it can be understood that the cross-section of the connector perpendicular to the first direction X can be, for example, L-shaped or U-shaped, and the connector with an L-shaped or U-shaped cross-section can avoid the guide groove 14.

[0070] This application provides a splicing gantry for a track-carrying robot and a track-carrying robot. The splicing gantry includes column units and a splicing structure for fixing the two ends of a pair of column units together. The splicing structure includes positioning posts, positioning holes, and connectors. The positioning posts and positioning holes are respectively located on the two end faces of the pair of column units. The positioning holes are used for the insertion and installation of the positioning posts. Then, the two ends of the connectors along a first direction are respectively fixedly installed on the two ends of the pair of column units together. In this way, the splicing structure can fix the two ends of the pair of column units together, or fix the pair of column units along their length, thereby extending the height of the track-carrying robot gantry and solving the technical problem that the operating height of the track-carrying robot is limited due to the short length of the existing gantry.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the two ends of a pair of column units are fixedly connected, the connector of the splicing structure will avoid the concave guide groove on the surface of the column unit. Thus, it can be understood that a pair of guide grooves can be spliced ​​to form a straight track for the transport mechanism of the track transport robot to move up and down.

[0072] Regarding the cross-section of the column unit 10, one possible implementation can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 6 In a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the cross section of the column unit 10 includes a connecting portion 11 extending along the second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. A pair of guide portions 12 extend from both ends of the connecting portion 11 toward the same side, so that the space between the pair of guide portions 12 forms a concave guide groove 14.

[0073] That is, specifically, see Figure 6 The column unit ( Figure 6 The column unit in the middle is specifically the first column profile 15) with a cross section perpendicular to the first direction including a connecting part. The connecting part extends along the second direction. Then, a pair of guide parts extend from both ends of the connecting part toward the same side. In this way, the space between the pair of guide parts can form a concave guide groove.

[0074] It can be understood that at this time, the bottom surface of the guide groove (i.e. the surface of the connecting portion facing the guide portion) is used for the up and down walking of the walking wheels of the carrying mechanism, and the side surface of the guide groove (i.e. the surface opposite to the guide portion) is used for walking limiting of the walking wheels of the carrying mechanism.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, the side of the connecting portion 11 away from the guide portion 12 is provided with a supporting portion 13; wherein the first outer surface 131 of the supporting portion 13 away from the connecting portion 11 and the second outer surface 121 of at least one guide portion 12 are used for fixed installation of the connecting piece, so that the connecting piece avoids the guide groove 14.

[0076] The embodiment can also be provided with a supporting portion on the side of the connecting portion away from the guide portion to increase the stability of the column unit.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the supporting portion 13 can be hollow to reduce the weight of the column unit 10.
