[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This invention provides a gantry-type mobile robot. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] This gantry-type mobile robot, when the workshop production layout is adjusted or tasks need to be performed in different areas, uses a folding motor to drive the central rod and toothed column to rotate. The toothed plate causes the mounting column to move to the right. At the same time, the rotation of the central rod drives the drive gear, the first reduction gear, the rotating rod, and the rotating gear to rotate. Under the action of the second reduction gear, the mounting frame and the mounting column rotate clockwise. The mounting column gradually folds into the inner cavity of the support column. This can significantly reduce the space occupied by the gantry robot, facilitate transportation, and move it to a suitable location without disassembly and assembly. This allows it to adapt to workshop production layout adjustments, reduce resource waste, and lower production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a truss-type mobile robot, including a support column 1, a base 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 1, an installation frame 3 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support column 1, an installation column 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation frame 3, a clamping assembly for clamping workpieces installed on the installation column 2, and a folding assembly for folding the installation column 2 into the inner cavity of the support column 1 installed on the support column 1; the folding assembly includes a rotating disk 12, the rotating disk 12 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the installation frame 3, the rotating disk 12 rotatably passes through the support column 1, a folding motor 13 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 12, a central rod 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the folding motor 13, a toothed column 19 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the central rod 18, a toothed plate 25 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the installation column 2, the toothed plate 25 meshes with the toothed column 19, and a rotating mechanism for driving the installation column 2 to rotate is installed on the installation frame 3.
[0025] In use, the workpiece is clamped by the clamping assembly to complete the current work task. When the production layout in the workshop is adjusted or the task needs to be performed in different areas, the folding motor 13 drives the central rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the toothed column 19 to rotate. The toothed plate 25 moves the mounting column 2 to the right, and at the same time, the rotating mechanism drives the mounting column 2 to rotate clockwise. During the movement, the mounting column 2 gradually folds into the inner cavity of the support column 1, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the gantry robot, facilitating its transportation, and allowing the gantry robot to be easily moved to other suitable locations in the workshop for placement. This facilitates the adaptation to changes in the production layout in the workshop, reduces resource waste, lowers production costs, and eliminates the need to disassemble and reassemble the gantry robot during the process, improving work efficiency and reducing wear and tear on parts.
[0026] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating rod 16, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3. A first reduction gear 14 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod 16. A drive gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the central rod 18, and the drive gear 17 meshes with the first reduction gear 14. A rotating gear 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 16. A second reduction gear 26 is fixedly installed on the front side of the support column 1, and the second reduction gear 26 meshes with the rotating gear 15. An arc-shaped opening 27 matching the rotating rod 16 is opened on the support column 1, and the rotating rod 16 is movably connected to the arc-shaped opening 27.
[0027] The rotation of the center rod 18 drives the drive gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the first reduction gear 14 to rotate. The rotation rod 16 drives the rotating gear 15 to rotate. Under the action of the second reduction gear 26, the rotating gear 15 rotates, causing the mounting frame 3 to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives the mounting column 2 to rotate clockwise.
[0028] The clamping assembly includes a sliding frame 22, which is slidably connected to the front side of the mounting column 2. A lifting cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the front side of the sliding frame 22. A connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 6. A gripper cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 7. A moving mechanism that drives the sliding frame 22 to move on the mounting column 2 is installed on the sliding frame 22.
[0029] The lifting cylinder 6 is activated to drive the gripper cylinder 8 to lift and lower. The gripper cylinder 8 clamps the workpiece, and the moving mechanism drives the sliding frame 22 to move the workpiece to the required position.
[0030] The moving mechanism includes a moving motor 21, which is fixedly installed on the front side of the sliding frame 22. The output end of the moving motor 21 is fixedly connected to a moving gear 20, which meshes with a toothed plate 25.
[0031] The moving motor 21 is started, which drives the moving gear 20 to rotate. Under the action of the toothed plate 25, the sliding frame 22 moves on the mounting column 2.
[0032] A limit cover 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support column 1. An installation cover 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the support column 1. The installation cover 9 has a sliding opening that matches the limit cover 10. The limit cover 10 is slidably connected to the sliding opening. A sliding block 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation cover 9. The sliding block 24 is fixedly connected to the limit cover 10. A screw 23 is rotatably installed on the installation cover 9. The screw 23 is threaded through the sliding block 24.
[0033] After the mounting column 2 is folded into the inner cavity of the support column 1, the screw 23 is rotated to drive the sliding block 24 to rise, which in turn drives the limit cover 10 to rise. The limit cover 10 restricts the position of the mounting column 2, ensuring the stability of the mounting column 2 during transportation.
[0034] Several sets of connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the left side of the support column 1. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 5 away from the support column 1. The top of the support plate 4 abuts against the bottom of the mounting column 2.
[0035] During use, the support plate 4 can support the mounting column 2 to ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0036] Working principle: During use, the support plate 4 supports the mounting column 2 to ensure stable operation of the equipment. The lifting cylinder 6 is started to drive the gripper cylinder 8 to lift and lower. The gripper cylinder 8 clamps the workpiece, and the moving motor 21 drives the moving gear 20 to rotate. Under the action of the toothed plate 25, the sliding frame 22 moves on the mounting column 2, moving the workpiece to the required position and completing the work task. When the production layout within the workshop is adjusted or tasks need to be performed in different areas, the folding motor 13 drives the central rod 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear column 19 to rotate. The gear plate 25 then moves the mounting column 2 to the right. Simultaneously, the rotation of the central rod 18 drives the drive gear 17 to rotate, causing the first reduction gear 14 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the rotating gear 15 to rotate via the rotating rod 16. Under the action of the second reduction gear 26, the rotating gear 15 rotates, causing the mounting frame 3 to rotate clockwise, which in turn causes the mounting column 2 to rotate clockwise. During this movement, the mounting column 2 gradually folds into the inner cavity of the support column 1, significantly reducing the space occupied by the gantry robot and facilitating its transportation. Without disassembly, the gantry robot can be easily moved to other suitable locations within the workshop, adapting to changes in the production layout and reducing resource waste and production costs. After the mounting column 2 folds into the inner cavity of the support column 1, the rotating screw 23 drives the sliding block 24 to rise, which in turn raises the limit cover 10. The limit cover 10 restricts the position of the mounting column 2, ensuring its stability during transportation.
