Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent welding and cutting production line technology, specifically to a cantilever track device and an intelligent welding and cutting production line. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance the intelligence of existing welding and cutting production lines, it is necessary to upgrade and renovate the existing welding and cutting production lines in the old factory buildings. Due to the limited space in the original factory buildings, and the large area occupied by the existing welding and cutting production lines, there is no effective installation space for the newly added intelligent auxiliary equipment, such as automatic sorting equipment and visual recognition equipment.

[0003] Moreover, even if these intelligent auxiliary devices can be successfully installed, their operational range is severely limited by existing production lines and the confined space of the factory. In particular, the working radius of robotic arms used in conjunction with related auxiliary equipment is severely restricted. For example, robotic arm sorting equipment installed next to existing gantry welding and cutting machines is limited in its sorting radius due to the aforementioned constraints, making it unable to effectively sort workpieces on the worktable of the gantry welding and cutting machines. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a cantilever track device, comprising:

[0005] The track is set vertically along its wide side;

[0006] A movable seat is mounted on the track;

[0007] A first drive mechanism is respectively engaged with the track and the movable seat, and the first drive mechanism is used to make the movable seat reciprocate along the track;

[0008] A cantilever, one end of which is rotatably connected to the movable seat;

[0009] A second drive mechanism, which cooperates with both the cantilever and the movable seat, is used to rotate the cantilever relative to the movable seat; and

[0010] A robotic arm is located at the other end of the cantilever.

[0011] Optionally, the track includes two long arms and multiple wide arms. The two long arms are arranged parallel to each other vertically, and each wide arm is vertically arranged between the two long arms. The multiple wide arms are arranged at intervals along the long arms.

[0012] Optionally, the first drive mechanism includes:

[0013] A rack is arranged along the track;

[0014] A first drive motor is disposed at the movable base; and

[0015] The first gear is connected to the output end of the first drive motor, and the first gear meshes with the rack. The first gear is used to reciprocate along the rack.

[0016] Optionally, the second drive mechanism includes:

[0017] The second gear is located on the bottom surface of one end of the cantilever;

[0018] A second drive motor is disposed at the movable base; and

[0019] The third gear is connected to the output end of the second drive motor, and the third gear meshes with the second gear.

[0020] Optionally, the movable seat includes:

[0021] A top seat body is disposed on the top surface of the upper long arm, and the cantilever is disposed on the top seat body; and

[0022] A side seat is disposed on the same side of the two long arms, and the side seat is connected to the top seat.

[0023] Optionally, both of the long arms extend along a horizontal straight line, and the cantilever track device further includes a linear guide mechanism, which is arranged along the track and cooperates with the track and the movable seat respectively. The linear guide mechanism is used to prevent the movable seat from disengaging from the track.

[0024] Optionally, the linear guide mechanism includes:

[0025] A first linear guide rail is disposed on the top surface of the upper long arm, and a first slider that cooperates with the first linear guide rail is disposed on the bottom surface of the top seat; and

[0026] A second linear guide is disposed on one side surface of the lower long arm. The second linear guide is disposed adjacent to the side seat body. A second slider that cooperates with the second linear guide is disposed on the side of the side seat body.

[0027] Optionally, the cantilever is a cuboid shell structure, and multiple reinforcing ribs are fixed inside the cantilever.

[0028] In addition, this utility model also provides an intelligent welding and cutting production line, including the aforementioned cantilever track equipment.

[0029] Optionally, the intelligent welding and cutting production line includes a gantry cutting machine, the track is adjacent to and parallel to the track of the gantry cutting machine, and the cantilever is located above the track of the gantry cutting machine.

[0030] The technical effects of this utility model include at least the following:

[0031] By using the wide side of the track to be erected vertically, meaning the height of the track is greater than or significantly greater than its width, the actual width of the track is effectively compressed. This allows the track to provide good support and guidance for the moving seat, cantilever, and robotic arm even in narrow spaces, reducing the area occupied by the track. This allows the moving seat, cantilever, and robotic arm to be placed in the narrow edges of existing production lines within the factory. One end of the cantilever is rotatably connected to the moving seat, and the other end is connected to the robotic arm. A second drive mechanism causes the cantilever to rotate relative to the moving seat. This increases the working radius of the robotic arm. When the working radius needs to be expanded, the second drive mechanism rotates the cantilever to a position perpendicular to the track, and then the robotic arm extends relative to the cantilever, allowing the robotic arm to expand to a working radius up to the length of the cantilever. When a larger working radius is not needed, rotating the cantilever to a position parallel to the track allows the robotic arm to move only back and forth along the track.

[0032] In this way, through the coordination of the track, moving seat, cantilever, and robotic arm, intelligent auxiliary equipment with a robotic arm can be smoothly installed in a confined space, and the cantilever increases the working radius of the robotic arm. This allows the intelligent auxiliary equipment with a robotic arm to perform corresponding operations at any designated position on the welding and cutting production line.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a cantilever track device, including:

[0044] Track 1, with its wide side set vertically;

[0045] The movable seat 2 is mounted on the track 1;

[0046] The first drive mechanism cooperates with the track 1 and the movable seat 2 respectively, and the first drive mechanism is used to make the movable seat 2 reciprocate along the track 1;

[0047] Cantilever 4, one end of which is rotatably connected to the movable seat 2;

[0048] The second drive mechanism 5 cooperates with both the cantilever 4 and the movable seat 2, and is used to rotate the cantilever 4 relative to the movable seat 2; and

[0049] The robotic arm 6 is located at the other end of the cantilever 4.

[0050] It should be noted that the first driving mechanism here can be a gear and rack transmission mechanism, a lead screw and nut transmission mechanism, or a cylinder telescopic mechanism. As long as it can achieve linear drive to drive the moving seat 2 to move back and forth along the track 1, it is acceptable.

[0051] In addition, the second drive mechanism 5 here can be a hydraulic motor or a servo motor, as long as it can drive the cantilever 4 to rotate relative to the moving seat 2.

[0052] In addition, the robotic arm 6 here can be a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 6, or a robotic arm 6 with other degrees of freedom.

[0053] In addition, the end effector of the robotic arm 6 can be equipped with an electromagnetic sorting mechanism, a visual recognition device, a welding cutter, or other intelligent auxiliary equipment or cutting and welding devices.

[0054] In addition, the track 1 here can be a straight track 1, or it can be a guide rail of other predetermined shapes, such as O-shape, U-shape or other shapes, which also makes the corresponding movement trajectory of the moving seat 2 a straight line, O-shape, U-shape or other shapes.

[0055] In this embodiment, the track 1 is vertically mounted along its wide side, meaning its height is greater than or significantly greater than its width. This effectively compresses the actual width of the track 1, allowing it to provide good support and guidance for the moving seat 2, cantilever 4, and robotic arm 6 even in narrow spaces. This reduces the area occupied by the track 1. The moving seat 2, cantilever 4, and robotic arm 6 on the track 1 can be placed in the narrow edges of existing production lines within the factory. One end of the cantilever 4 is rotatably connected to the moving seat 2, and the other end is connected to the robotic arm 6. The second drive mechanism 5 causes the cantilever 4 to rotate relative to the moving seat 2. This increases the working radius of the robotic arm 6. When the working radius of the robotic arm 6 needs to be expanded, the second drive mechanism 5 rotates the cantilever 4 to a position perpendicular to the track 1, and then the robotic arm 6 extends relative to the cantilever 4, allowing the robotic arm 6 to expand to a working radius up to the length of the cantilever 4. When the working radius of the robotic arm 6 is not required to be too large, the robotic arm 6 can only move back and forth along the track 1 by rotating the cantilever 4 to a state parallel to the track 1.

[0056] In this way, through the cooperation of track 1, moving seat 2, cantilever 4, and robotic arm 6, the intelligent auxiliary equipment with robotic arm 6 can be smoothly installed in a confined space, and the working radius of robotic arm 6 is increased by cantilever 4. This enables the intelligent auxiliary equipment with robotic arm 6 to perform corresponding operations at any designated position on the welding and cutting production line.

[0057] Furthermore, the track 1 includes two long arms 12 and multiple wide arms 11. The two long arms 12 are arranged parallel to each other vertically, and each wide arm 11 is vertically arranged between the two long arms 12. The multiple wide arms 11 are arranged at intervals along the long arms 12.

[0058] Preferably, both long arms 12 are straight structural members.

[0059] By using multiple horizontal arms vertically, the space occupied by track 1 can be reduced, and multiple horizontal arms and two long arms 12 can be used to support the moving seat 2, cantilever 4 and mechanical arm 6.

[0060] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism includes:

[0061] A rack is provided along the track 1;

[0062] A first drive motor 31 is disposed at the movable base 2; and

[0063] The first gear is connected to the output end of the first drive motor 31. The first gear meshes with the rack and is used to reciprocate along the rack.

[0064] By utilizing the combination of rack and pinion, accurate control of the movement process of the movable seat 2 can be achieved.

[0065] Furthermore, the second drive mechanism 5 includes:

[0066] The second gear 51 is located on the bottom surface of one end of the cantilever 4;

[0067] The second drive motor 52 is disposed at the movable base 2; and

[0068] The third gear 53 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 52, and the third gear 53 meshes with the second gear 51.

[0069] The second drive motor 52 drives the third gear 53, which in turn drives the second gear 51 and the cantilever 4 to rotate.

[0070] Preferably, both the second drive motor 52 and the first drive motor 31 can be servo motors.

[0071] Furthermore, the movable seat 2 includes:

[0072] A top seat 21 is disposed on the top surface of the upper long arm 12, and the cantilever 4 is disposed on the top seat 21; and

[0073] The side seat 22 is located on the same side of the two long arms 12, and the side seat 22 is connected to the top seat 21.

[0074] The top seat 21 here can be a horizontally arranged plate-shaped structural member, and the side seat 22 can be a vertically arranged plate-shaped structural member.

[0075] Preferably, the movable seat 2 also includes a housing structure, which is located at the side seat 22 and can be used as an electrical control box.

[0076] Furthermore, both of the long arms 12 extend along a horizontal straight line. The cantilever track device also includes a linear guide mechanism, which is set along the track 1. The linear guide mechanism cooperates with the track 1 and the movable seat 2 respectively. The linear guide mechanism is used to prevent the movable seat 2 from disengaging from the track 1.

[0077] Furthermore, the linear guide mechanism includes:

[0078] A first linear guide rail 71 is disposed on the top surface of the upper long arm 12, and a first slider 73, which cooperates with the first linear guide rail 71, is disposed on the bottom surface of the top seat 21; and

[0079] The second linear guide 72 is disposed on one side surface of the lower long arm 12. The second linear guide 72 is disposed adjacent to the side seat 22. The second slider that cooperates with the second linear guide 72 is disposed on the side of the side seat 22.

[0080] It should be noted that the cross-sections of the first linear guide 71 and the second linear guide 72 are both I-shaped. The first slider 73 and the second slider are respectively provided with grooves, which pass through the first slider 73 and the second slider. The first linear guide 71 and the second linear guide 72 are respectively placed in the corresponding grooves. Each sidewall of the groove is provided with a locking protrusion, which is spaced apart from the first linear guide 71 and the second linear guide 72. The two locking protrusions are used to clamp the middle part of the first linear guide 71 and the second linear guide 72 to prevent the first slider 73 from detaching from the first linear guide 71, and the second slider from detaching from the second linear guide 72.

[0081] Furthermore, the cantilever 4 is a rectangular shell structure, and multiple reinforcing ribs are fixed inside the cantilever 4.

[0082] The shell structure reduces the weight of the cantilever 4 and decreases the drive load on the first drive motor 31 and the second drive motor 52. Simultaneously, multiple reinforcing ribs effectively support the internal structure of the shell, improving its support strength and preventing deformation.

[0083] Preferably, the reinforcing ribs may include width reinforcing ribs and length reinforcing ribs. The width reinforcing ribs are U-shaped and are vertically arranged inside the cantilever 4. Multiple width reinforcing ribs extend along the width direction of the cantilever 4 and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cantilever 4.

[0084] There are two or three length reinforcing ribs, which are set inside the cantilever 4 along the length direction of the cantilever 4, and the length reinforcing ribs and the width reinforcing ribs are arranged in a grid pattern.

[0085] In addition, this embodiment also provides an intelligent welding and cutting production line, including the aforementioned cantilever track equipment.

[0086] Furthermore, the intelligent welding and cutting production line includes a gantry cutting machine, the track 1 is adjacent to and parallel to the track 1 of the gantry cutting machine, and the cantilever 4 is located above the track 1 of the gantry cutting machine.

[0087] When the movable seat 2 approaches the gantry cutting machine, the cantilever 4, positioned above the track 1 of the gantry cutting machine, rotates to the outside of the track 1, thus moving the robotic arm 6 away from the gantry cutting machine and preventing collisions or other motion interference. This ensures that the two sets of equipment operate smoothly and without interference within a confined factory space.

[0088] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
