Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide rail technology, specifically a movable guide rail for a stacking and unloading robot for processing metal sandwich panels. Background Technology

[0002] The movable guide rail of the palletizing and loading robot is a mechanical structure used to support and guide the robot to move in a specific direction. It is a key component for the robot to realize spatial position adjustment, enabling the robot to move in horizontal, vertical or inclined directions, breaking through the limitations of fixed position and covering a larger work area (such as grabbing goods from the conveyor line and moving them to different shelf positions).

[0003] In the entire guide rail system structure, the guide rail slider is a key component used to mount the robot and enable its movement. Due to long-term load bearing, some parts of the slider are severely worn and require regular maintenance. However, in the existing slider structure design, the connection between some sliders and the guide rail is relatively complex, requiring specific order and steps to complete disassembly. For example, some sliders may use multiple bolts for fastening, and the bolt positions are hidden and the space is narrow, making it inconvenient to operate disassembly tools. Technicians often need to spend a lot of time to familiarize themselves with the disassembly process, increasing maintenance time costs and also increasing the risk of equipment damage due to improper operation.

[0004] To address this issue, the present invention provides a movable guide rail for a stacking and unloading robot for metal sandwich panel processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a movable guide rail for a stacking and unloading robot for metal sandwich panel processing, thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a movable guide rail for a stacking and unloading robot for processing metal sandwich panels, comprising a base, with a guide rail assembly on the top of the base; the guide rail assembly includes a tripod, which is fixedly connected to one side of the base, and a second protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the base, with a second rotating column rotatably connected inside the second protrusion; the guide rail assembly also includes a servo motor, with a concave component fixedly connected to the bottom of the servo motor, the inner wall of the concave component being slidably connected to the outer wall of the tripod; and a second hydraulic rod is fixedly installed inside the base, with the movable end of the second hydraulic rod fixedly connected to one side of the concave component.

[0007] Furthermore, a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and a transmission bar is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the lead screw. The transmission bar is movably connected to the inside of the side wall of the second rotating column, and one end of the lead screw is movably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating column.

[0008] The above technical solution is used to provide power to drive the lead screw to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, a first hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the base, an assembly rod is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first hydraulic rod, a first protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly rod, a first rotating column is rotatably connected inside the first protrusion, and a cross groove is opened inside the first rotating column.

[0010] The above technical solution is used to control the up and down movement of the assembly rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a cross bar is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw, and the cross bar is inserted into the cross groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead screw can rotate stably.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a slider is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead rod. A track caster is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider, and the inside of the track caster is in rolling contact with the top of the guide rod.

[0014] The above technical solution is used to restrict the slider so that it can move in a straight line.

[0015] Furthermore, a protective sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and an auxiliary rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve. One end of the auxiliary rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the assembly rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly rod can move more smoothly up and down.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] This invention provides a movable guide rail for a palletizing and unloading robot in metal sandwich panel processing. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. The palletizing and unloading robot for processing metal sandwich panels has a movable guide rail. The top of the slider is used to install the robot. When the servo motor is started, it can drive the lead screw to rotate. Since the cross bar at one end of the lead screw is inserted into the cross groove in the first rotating column, the lead screw can drive the first rotating column to rotate. The transmission bar at one end of the lead screw will also drive the second rotating column to rotate. The rotation of the first and second rotating columns and the support at both ends of the lead screw can make the lead screw rotation more stable. After the lead screw rotates, the track casters at the bottom of the slider are restricted by the guide rod, and the slider will also be restricted and move linearly along the lead screw, thereby driving the robot on the top of the slider to move and adjust its position.

[0020] 2. The palletizing and unloading robot for metal sandwich panel processing has a movable guide rail. When the slider needs to be disassembled for inspection and maintenance, the second hydraulic rod is activated to push the concave part to move. The concave part then drives the servo motor to move to one side on the tripod. The servo motor then drives the lead screw to move to one side as well. The lead screw slides in the second rotating column and finally makes the cross rod disengage from the cross groove. Then the first hydraulic rod is activated, which drives the assembly rod to move down. The assembly rod then drives the first protrusion to move down as well. The auxiliary rod slides in the protective sleeve. Because the auxiliary rod is restricted by the protective sleeve, the assembly rod connected to the auxiliary rod moves down more smoothly. After there is no obstruction, the servo motor can be activated to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw will continuously push the slider to one side until it reaches the farthest point of the lead screw stroke. The slider will then easily fall off, completing the quick disassembly.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a movable guide rail for a stacking and unloading robot for processing metal sandwich panels, including a base 1, with a guide rail assembly 2 on the top of the base 1; the guide rail assembly 2 includes a tripod 210, which is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1, and a second protrusion 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A second rotating column 27 is rotatably connected inside the second protrusion 26. The guide rail assembly 2 also includes a servo motor 211, with a concave part 212 fixedly connected to the bottom of the servo motor 211. The inner wall of the concave part 212 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tripod 210. A second hydraulic rod 213 is fixedly installed inside the base 1, and the movable end of the second hydraulic rod 213 is fixedly connected to one side of the concave part 212.

[0032] In specific implementation: by activating the second hydraulic rod 213, the concave part 212 is pushed to move, and the concave part 212 drives the servo motor 211 to move to one side on the tripod 210. The servo motor 211 then drives the lead screw 28 to move to one side as well, and the lead screw 28 will also slide in the second rotating column 27.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one aspect of this embodiment, a lead screw 28 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 211, and a transmission bar 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the lead screw 28. The transmission bar 29 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the second rotating column 27, and one end of the lead screw 28 is movably connected to the inner wall of the second rotating column 27.

[0034] In practice: the transmission bar 29 at one end of the lead screw 28 will also drive the second rotating column 27 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating column 24 and the second rotating column 27, as well as the support for both ends of the lead screw 28, can make the lead screw 28 more stable when rotating.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 6In one aspect of this embodiment, a first hydraulic rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 1, an assembly rod 22 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first hydraulic rod 21, a first protrusion 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly rod 22, a first rotating column 24 is rotatably connected inside the first protrusion 23, and a cross groove 25 is provided inside the first rotating column 24.

[0036] In practice: the first hydraulic rod 21 can drive the assembly rod 22 to move downward, and the assembly rod 22 in turn drives the first protrusion 23 to move downward together.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one aspect of this embodiment, a cross bar 217 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 28, and the cross bar 217 is inserted into the cross groove 25.

[0038] In practice: the cross bar 217 is used to drive the first rotating column 24 to rotate, and the cross groove 25 also provides a support point for one end of the lead screw 28.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one aspect of this embodiment, a guide rod 214 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a slider 215 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 28, and a track caster 216 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider 215. The inside of the track caster 216 is in rolling contact with the top of the guide rod 214.

[0040] In practice: after the lead screw 28 rotates, the guide rod 214 restricts the track caster 216 at the bottom of the slider 215, and the slider 215 will also be restricted and thus move linearly along the lead screw 28.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In one aspect of this embodiment, a protective sleeve 218 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and an auxiliary rod 219 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 218. One end of the auxiliary rod 219 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the assembly rod 22.

[0042] In practice: the auxiliary rod 219 slides inside the protective sleeve 218. Because the auxiliary rod 219 is restricted by the protective sleeve 218, the assembly rod 22 connected to the auxiliary rod 219 moves down more smoothly.

[0043] All electrical devices in this plan are powered by an external power source.

[0044] Working principle: The top of the slider 215 is designed for mounting the robotic arm. When the servo motor 211 is started, it drives the lead screw 28 to rotate. The cross bar 217 at one end of the lead screw 28 is inserted into the cross groove 25 of the first rotating column 24, so the lead screw 28 can drive the first rotating column 24 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the transmission bar 29 at the other end of the lead screw 28 drives the second rotating column 27 to rotate. The first rotating column 24 and the second rotating column 27 not only play a transmission role, but also provide support for both ends of the lead screw 28, making the lead screw 28 more stable during rotation;

[0045] When the lead screw 28 rotates, the slider 215 is also constrained by the guide rod 214, as the track caster 216 at the bottom of the slider 215 is restricted, and can only move linearly along the lead screw 28. This linear motion drives the robotic arm mounted on top of the slider 215 to adjust its position.

[0046] When the slider 215 needs to be disassembled for inspection and maintenance, the second hydraulic rod 213 is activated first. The second hydraulic rod 213 pushes the concave part 212 to move, and the concave part 212 drives the servo motor 211 to slide to one side on the tripod 210. The movement of the servo motor 211 will drive the lead screw 28 to move to one side as well, causing the lead screw 28 to slide within the second rotating column 27 until the cross rod 217 disengages from the cross groove 25;

[0047] Next, the first hydraulic rod 21 is activated. The first hydraulic rod 21 drives the assembly rod 22 to move downwards, and the assembly rod 22 drives the first protrusion 23 to move downwards together. The auxiliary rod 219 slides inside the protective sleeve 218. Due to the restriction of the auxiliary rod 219 by the protective sleeve 218, the assembly rod 22 moves more smoothly during the process.

[0048] After these constraints are released, the servo motor 211 is restarted to drive the lead screw 28 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 28 will cause the slider 215 to move to one side until it reaches the far end of the lead screw 28's stroke. At this point, the slider 215 can be easily removed, completing the quick disassembly process.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0050] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
