Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation technology, specifically to a mobile robot teach pendant suspension trolley. Background Technology

[0002] The teach pendant is the core human-machine interface device in an industrial robot system. It can complete parameter setting and human-machine interaction operations, register and store mechanical motions or process memories.

[0003] Currently, during maintenance and debugging in industrial production, operators typically need to carry a teaching pendant and move back and forth between multiple work points requiring adjustment. Since the teaching pendant also has a certain weight (around 1kg), prolonged use is quite strenuous, increasing the workload for operators. If it is carelessly hung on the control cabinet or placed anywhere in the production area, it can easily lead to misoperation and pose safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a mobile robot teaching pendant suspension trolley, which has the advantages of convenient suspension, no site restrictions, and safe and labor-saving use.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This mobile robot teach pendant suspension trolley includes a support rod, a base detachably connected to the bottom of the support rod, several casters detachably mounted on the base, and several suspension plates detachably connected to the support rod. The suspension plates are used to suspend the teach pendant or cables, and the teach pendant is suspended on the suspension plates by hooks set on its top.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the support rod is made of square tube, and a suspension plate is installed on each of the four surfaces of the square tube: front, back, left, and right.

[0007] As a further technical solution, several screw holes are made along the length of the support rod to adjust the fixed position of the suspension plate on the support rod.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the widths of the various suspension plates are different to accommodate teach pendants of different sizes.

[0009] As a further technical solution, one end of the suspension plate is threaded to the support rod, and the other end of the suspension plate is bent twice to form the first step and the second step.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the first and second steps are set at different heights to accommodate teaching pendants of different specifications.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the cable is suspended directly on the suspension plate, or suspended on the suspension plate through a cable reel.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the weight of the base after installing casters is greater than the weight of the support rod after installing the suspension plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The support rod is equipped with a base with casters at the bottom, allowing the operator to move the trolley at any time during debugging. The cables and teach pendant can also be moved synchronously, which facilitates the debugging operation. When the debugging is completed and the next work point is moved, the teach pendant can be suspended on the hanging plate without being held by hand, which saves more effort.

[0015] 2. The installation height of the suspension plate can be adjusted in advance according to different teaching pendant specifications, making it more versatile;

[0016] 3. The hanging plate has different widths and step heights to accommodate different teaching pendant specifications;

[0017] 4. Cables can be directly suspended on the hanging plate or suspended using cable reels, making cable routing on the production site more convenient and concise, and preventing cables from multiple teach pendants from getting tangled.

[0018] 5. The total weight of the base is greater than the weight of the upper support rod, ensuring that the entire vehicle will not tip over when the teach pendant or cables are pulled, thus improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, this mobile robot teach pendant suspension vehicle includes a support rod 1, a base 2, a suspension plate 3, a first step 31, a second step 32, casters 4, a teach pendant 5, a hook 51, a cable 6, and a cable reel 7.

[0027] Reference Appendix Figure 1 A base 2 is detachably connected to the bottom of the support rod 1 via bolts. Preferably, the base 2 can be disc-shaped, square, or cross-shaped. In this embodiment, a cross-shaped base 2 (i.e., made of two square tubes welded together) is used. Four casters 4 (preferably swivel casters) are detachably mounted on the base 2 (the four corners of the cross shape). Four suspension plates 3 are detachably connected to the support rod 1. Preferably, the support rod 1 is made of square tube, and a suspension plate 3 is mounted on each of the four surfaces of the square tube: front, back, left, and right. Several screw holes are provided along the length of the support rod 1. These screw holes allow adjustment of the fixed position of the suspension plates 3 on the support rod 1. That is, the installation height of the suspension plates 3 on the support rod 1 can be different for each plate, or they can be aligned in pairs. Figure 1 As shown.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, one end of the suspension plate 3 is threaded to the support rod 1, and the other end of the suspension plate 3 is bent twice to form a first step 31 and a second step 32. Preferably, the first step 31 and the second step 32 can be set to different heights to accommodate different sizes of teach pendants 5.

[0029] Reference Appendix Figure 3 , 4 The teach pendant 5 is suspended from the hanging plate 3 via a hook 51 located on its top, and can be hung on the first step 31 and / or the second step 32. The cable 6 is directly suspended from the hanging plate 3, which facilitates cable routing on the production site and avoids cable mess.

[0030] Preferably, the widths of the suspension plates 3 can be different to accommodate different sizes of teach pendants 5. Furthermore, the weight of the base 2 after installing the casters 4 is greater than the weight of the support rod 1 after installing the suspension plates 3, ensuring that during actual use, when the teach pendant 5 or cable 6 is pulled, the support rod 1 will move the base 2 first, preventing it from tipping over. The total weight of the cart is 6kg. Actual testing showed that the anti-tipping test result was 60kg (meaning the cart will only tip over when the weight of the suspended object exceeds 60kg), ensuring that it will not tip over significantly during daily use.

[0031] Example 2: Figure 5As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the cable 6 can be suspended on the suspension plate 3 (at the second step 32) by the cable reel 7. The cable reel 7 facilitates the teaching pendant 5 in collecting the cable and can rotate flexibly when the cable is pulled.

[0032] The working process of this utility model:

[0033] Before use, multiple teach pendants 5 can be suspended on the support rod 1. During debugging, the operator removes the teach pendant 5 from the corresponding suspension plate 3 and moves it to the work point for debugging. During this process, the cable 6 can be pulled freely, and the cable is routed through the cable reel 7. If the cable reel 7 is not installed or the cable is stretched to its maximum length, the support rod 1 will be pulled by the cable and moved using the casters 4 on the base 2, preventing it from tipping over. The operator can also adjust the cable when they sense the trolley moving. After debugging, the teach pendant 5 can be hung on an empty suspension plate 3 via the hook 51, and the trolley can be pushed to the next work point.

[0034] It is understood that, for those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or modifications to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
