The heavy-duty truss is often used in heavy material handling, assembly and processing tasks that require strong carrying capacity and stable movement performance.
[0003] The heavy-duty truss has a Z-axis structure, which realizes the upward and downward transportation of materials. The Z-axis structure of the heavy-duty truss usually includes a Z-bearing shaft and a motor. The motor is fixedly arranged, and the Z-bearing shaft is in sliding cooperation with other structures to realize upward and downward sliding. The Z-bearing shaft is provided with a vertical rack, and the motor is provided with a gear. The gear is engaged with the rack, and the upward and downward movement of the rack is driven by the rotation of the gear driven by the motor to realize the upward and downward sliding of the Z-bearing shaft to transport the materials. The Z-bearing shaft needs to bear its own weight and the weight of the materials, so it is heavy and easy to fall, which may cause safety hazards. Therefore, in the related technology, a brake is usually added to the motor to prevent falling. In the related technology, the brake is simply relied on to brake, and when the brake fails, the Z-bearing shaft will still fall, which may cause safety hazards, and the reliability is weak.
