[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 A movable slide rail for a casting robot includes several support columns 1. A top plate 2 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the support columns 1. A movable track 3 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the top plate 2. A sliding rail groove 4 is provided on the lower part of the movable track 3. A sliding seat 5 is slidably connected in the sliding seat 5. A connecting plate 6 is provided on the lower part of the sliding seat 5. A connecting column 7 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the connecting plate 6. A casting robot mounting flange 8 for mounting the casting robot is fixedly installed on the lower part of the connecting column 7. A walking drive motor 9 for driving the sliding seat 5 to move along the sliding rail groove 4 is provided on the lower part of the connecting plate 6. The output end of the walking drive motor 9 passes through the connecting plate 6 and a drive gear 10 is fixedly installed on the side of its end. A mounting groove 12 is provided on the side of the movable track 3. A rack plate 11 that meshes with the drive gear 10 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, one end of the casting robot is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the casting robot mounting flange 8 using fasteners. The casting robot transfers the casting solution. When a long-distance linear transfer of the casting solution is required, the walking drive motor 9 is activated. The output of the walking drive motor 9 drives the drive gear 10 to rotate. The drive gear 10 meshes with the drive gear 10 fixedly mounted in the mounting groove 12. When the drive gear 10 rotates, the casting robot mounting flange 8 moves, and the sliding seat 5 slides within the sliding rail groove 4, achieving the effect of long-distance movement of the casting robot. Furthermore, the casting robot is mounted at the lower part of the moving track 3, reducing the possibility of spilled casting solution splashing onto the moving track 3, thereby extending the service life of the moving track. Two symmetrical moving tracks 3 can be installed at the lower part of the top plate 2, allowing at least two casting robots to move long distances simultaneously, improving the efficiency of the casting robot in transferring the casting solution. Figure 4 As shown, the rack plate 11 is installed in the inner direction of the sliding rail groove 4, which further reduces the possibility of molten casting splashing onto the rack plate 11 or the drive gear 10.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 This embodiment includes the above embodiment, and further includes: two symmetrical mounting side plates 13 adapted to the walking drive motor 9 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the connecting plate 6, and a mounting plate 14 for mounting the walking drive motor 9 is provided between the two mounting side plates 13. The width of the rack plate 11 is greater than the thickness of the drive gear 10. Threaded columns 15 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the mounting plate 14. A moving groove 16 adapted to the threaded column 15 is opened through the side of the mounting side plate 13, and a locking nut 17 is threadedly connected to the side of the threaded column 15.

[0037] In this embodiment, the width of the rack plate 11 is greater than the thickness of the drive gear 10. When the rack plate 11 wears out, the mounting plate 14 is moved. When the mounting plate 14 moves, it drives the walking drive motor 9 to move. The threaded column 15 slides in the moving groove 16, changing the position of the drive gear 10 meshing on the rack plate 11. The locking nut 17 limits and fixes the position of the walking drive motor 9, extending the service life of the rack plate 11.

[0038] Example 3
