These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention. Orientations and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) are only used to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a long-stroke warehouse space robot includes:

[0040] Two traveling trolleys 2 are arranged opposite each other and move back and forth above rail 1 along the X-axis.

[0041] The first crossbeam 3 extends along the Y-axis and is fixed between two opposing traveling trolleys 2.

[0042] The second crossbeam 4 also extends along the Y-axis and moves back and forth between the two traveling trolleys 2 along the X-axis to approach or move away from the first crossbeam 3. The first crossbeam 3, the second crossbeam 4 and the two traveling trolleys 2 form a movable truss structure. The two traveling trolleys 2 can drive the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 on them to move synchronously, while the second crossbeam 4 can move independently.

[0043] The gantry assembly includes a first gantry 5 and a second gantry 6 that reciprocate above the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 respectively along the Y-axis, and both the first gantry 5 and the second gantry 6 can extend and retract along the Z-axis and are equipped with forks at the bottom for gripping goods.

[0044] First, the traveling trolley 2 moves the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 along the X-axis to the vicinity of the gripping position. The first mast 5 and the second mast 6 move along the Y-axis to the gripping position. Then, the second crossbeam 4 moves along the X-axis to adjust the distance between the first mast 5 and the second mast 6 according to the size of the goods, thereby gripping the goods. In this application, the traveling trolley 2 is installed above the rail 1, and the mounting points of the mast assembly and the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 are also located at the top of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4. The support structure is used instead of the suspension structure in the prior art, which improves the stability of the overall structure and increases the lifting space of the goods. At the same time, the traveling trolley 2 set at the ends of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 replaces the displacement structure set at the bottom of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 to make them move closer or further apart, which further increases the lifting space of the goods and expands the scope of application of this application.

[0045] In some examples, an X-axis drive mechanism 7 is provided between the second crossbeam 4 and the traveling trolley 2. The mechanism includes an X-axis motor 701, an X-axis gear connected to the output end of the X-axis motor 701, and an X-axis rack 702 meshing with the X-axis gear. The X-axis motor 701 is mounted on the second crossbeam 4, and the X-axis rack 702 is mounted on the traveling trolley 2. The X-axis motor 701 drives the X-axis gear to rotate, and the meshing of the X-axis gear and the X-axis rack 702 drives the second crossbeam 4 to reciprocate along the X-axis direction. A felt gear is installed at the end of the second crossbeam 4.

[0046] In some examples, a Y-axis drive mechanism 8 is provided between the first crossbeam 3 and the first gantry 5, and between the second crossbeam 4 and the second gantry 6. The mechanism includes a Y-axis motor 801, a Y-axis gear connected to the output end of the Y-axis motor 801, and a Y-axis rack 802 meshing with the Y-axis gear. The Y-axis motor 801 is mounted on the first gantry 5 or the second gantry 6, and the Y-axis rack 802 is mounted on the first crossbeam 3 or the second gantry 4. The Y-axis motor 801 drives the Y-axis gear to rotate, and the meshing of the Y-axis gear and the Y-axis rack 802 drives the first gantry 5 and the second gantry 6 to reciprocate along the Y-axis direction. Both the first gantry 5 and the second gantry 6 are equipped with felt gears.

[0047] In some examples, the X-axis rack 702 is fixed to the top surface of the traveling trolley 2 and the X-axis racks 702 on the two traveling trolleys 2 are arranged opposite to each other. The two X-axis gears are located outside the two X-axis racks 702. When the X-axis gears mesh with the X-axis racks 702, a hook relationship is formed between the X-axis gears and the X-axis racks 702, thereby having an anti-tipping effect and effectively preventing the second crossbeam 4 from detaching from the traveling trolley 2.

[0048] The Y-axis rack 802 is fixed to the top surface of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4, and the two Y-axis racks 802 are arranged opposite to each other. The two Y-axis gears are located on the outside of the two Y-axis racks 802, and the first gantry 5 and the second gantry 6 are located on the inside of the two Y-axis racks 802. When the Y-axis gears mesh with the Y-axis racks 802, a hook relationship is formed between the Y-axis gears and the Y-axis racks 802, thereby having an anti-overturning effect and effectively preventing the first gantry 5 from detaching from the first crossbeam 3 or the second gantry 6 from detaching from the second crossbeam 4.

[0049] In some examples, the first gantry 5 extends toward the first crossbeam 3 to form a first support portion 501, and the second gantry 6 extends toward the second crossbeam 4 to form a second support portion 601. Both the first support portion 501 and the second support portion 601 include a transverse section 6011 and a longitudinal section 6012 formed by bending downward from the end of the transverse section 6011 to form a hook-like structure. The transverse section 6011 of the first support portion 501 is mounted above the first crossbeam 3, and the first crossbeam 3 supports the first gantry 5. The longitudinal section 6012 of the first support portion 501 is clamped on the outside of the first crossbeam 3 to prevent the first gantry 5 from overturning. The transverse section 6011 of the second support portion 601 is mounted above the second crossbeam 4, and the second crossbeam 4 supports the second gantry 6. The longitudinal section 6012 of the second support portion 601 is clamped on the outside of the second crossbeam 4 to prevent the second gantry 6 from overturning.

[0050] In some examples, the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 protrude towards the two traveling trolleys 2 respectively to form a first support 301 and a second support 401. The first support 301 and the second support 401 are both mounted on the top of the traveling trolleys 2, so that the traveling trolleys 2 can support the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 to improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0051] In some examples, an X-axis guide mechanism 9 is provided between the second crossbeam 4 and the inner side of the traveling trolley 2, and a Y-axis guide mechanism 10 is provided between the first gantry 5 and the inner side of the first crossbeam 3 and between the second gantry 6 and the inner side of the second crossbeam 4. Both the X-axis guide mechanism 9 and the Y-axis guide mechanism 10 are slide rail slider combinations.

[0052] In some examples, the bottom of the traveling trolley 2 is equipped with rollers 201, and the rail 1 is in the shape of an "I" with a raceway 101 that cooperates with the rollers 201. The rollers 201 and the raceway 101 cooperate to drive the traveling trolley 2 to move back and forth along the X-axis.

[0053] In some examples, the traveling trolley 2 is equipped with limit plates 202 at both ends for limiting the travel of the second crossbeam 4, and the limit plates 202 are equipped with anti-tipping hooks 203 for cooperating with the raceway 101. The anti-tipping hooks 203 extend into the raceway 101 to clamp the rail 1, and the limit plates 202 are equipped with brush strips for cleaning the rail 1.

[0054] In some examples, the X-axis gear and the Y-axis gear are both helical gears, and the X-axis rack 702 and the Y-axis rack 802 are both helical racks. The gears and racks with helical tooth structures improve the load-bearing capacity and operate smoothly with low noise.

[0055] Working principle:

[0056] First, the traveling trolley 2 moves the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 along the X-axis to near the gripping position. The Y-axis motor 801 drives the Y-axis gear to rotate, and the Y-axis gear meshes with the Y-axis rack 802, moving the first mast 5 and the second mast 6 along the Y-axis to the gripping position. Then, the X-axis motor 701 drives the X-axis gear to rotate, and the X-axis gear meshes with the X-axis rack 702, moving the second crossbeam 4 along the X-axis to adjust the distance between the first mast 5 and the second mast 6 according to the cargo size, thereby gripping the cargo. In this application, the traveling trolley 2 is installed above the rail 1, and the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 are... The first gantry 5 is mounted on the traveling trolley 2 via the first support part 301 and the second support part 401, and the second gantry 6 is mounted on the top of the second crossbeam 4 via the first mounting part 501. Therefore, this application adopts a supporting structure to replace the suspension structure in the prior art, which improves the overall structural stability and increases the lifting space of the goods. At the same time, the traveling trolley 2 set at the ends of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 replaces the displacement structure set at the bottom of the first crossbeam 3 and the second crossbeam 4 to make the two move closer or further apart, which further increases the lifting space of the goods.

[0057] The above description, based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model, provides inspiration. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification but must be determined according to the claims.
