Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation equipment technology, specifically a two-set XYZ axis gantry robot. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the demand for automation in tasks such as material handling and processing is increasing. Traditional single-station, single-axis, or simple-structured robotic arms often reveal limitations when faced with complex production processes, diverse operational requirements, and efficient production rhythms.

[0003] Most gantry robots currently on the market are single-station type, which can only operate on a single workpiece at a time. They cannot achieve simultaneous operation of dual or multiple stations or move the high-temperature molten metal in the crucible to a designated location and stir it evenly at the same time. As a result, in large-scale production, the production efficiency cannot meet the ever-increasing capacity demand of enterprises.

[0004] To address this problem, this invention provides a two-set XYZ axis gantry robot. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a two-set XYZ axis gantry robot, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a two-set XYZ axis truss manipulator, comprising a layered frame, one end of which is provided with a positioning component; the positioning component comprises an assembly frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the layered frame, and a truss is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly frame, an X-axis guide rail is fixedly installed inside the truss, a slider is slidably installed inside the X-axis guide rail, a first Y-axis guide rail is fixedly installed between two sliders, and a second Y-axis guide rail is fixedly installed between another set of sliders, a first set of XYZ axes is fixedly installed on one side of the slider of the first Y-axis guide rail, and a second set of XYZ axes is fixedly installed on one side of the slider of the second Y-axis guide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, a gear and rack transmission module is fixedly installed inside the truss, and the output end of the gear and rack transmission module is fixedly connected to one end of the power shaft of the first Y-axis guide rail and the second Y-axis guide rail.

[0008] The above technical solution is used to provide power to drive the first Y-axis guide rail and the second Y-axis guide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, a first Z-axis guide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the first XYZ axis, and a clamping fixture is fixedly installed on the slider side of the first Z-axis guide rail.

[0010] The above technical solution is used to clamp the crucible.

[0011] Furthermore, an extended clamping rod is fixedly installed at the interface of the clamping fixture, and the two extended clamping rods clamp the crucible.

[0012] The above technical solution is used to clamp and move the crucible.

[0013] Furthermore, a second Z-axis guide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the second XYZ axis, and a stirring clamp is fixedly installed on one side of the slider of the second Z-axis guide rail.

[0014] The above technical solution is used to install an extended stirring rod and move it to a designated position.

[0015] Furthermore, an extended stirring rod is fixedly connected to the interface of the stirring clamp.

[0016] The above technical solution is used to stir the molten metal in the crucible.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] This utility model provides a two-set XYZ axis gantry robot. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. These two sets of XYZ axis gantry robots, through their dual-station independent operation design, break through the efficiency bottleneck of traditional single-station gantry robots. The first and second sets of XYZ axes can operate synchronously on the layered rack, performing different operations respectively. For example, in a metal processing scenario, one set of robots is responsible for moving the crucible, while the other set performs the stirring operation simultaneously. There is no need to wait for a single set of equipment to complete all processes, thus doubling the workload per unit time and significantly meeting the capacity requirements of large-scale production.

[0020] 2. These two sets of XYZ axis gantry robots integrate two core functions: clamping and stirring. The first XYZ axis clamping fixture can stably move the high-temperature molten metal crucible, while the second XYZ axis stirring fixture can simultaneously complete the stirring operation when the crucible moves to the designated position, avoiding the cumbersome process of requiring an additional stirring device in traditional equipment. Furthermore, the two XYZ axes can independently adjust their working range via the X-axis and Y-axis guide rails, adapting to the operational needs of different workpiece sizes and complex production processes, thus improving the equipment's versatility.

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1This application provides a two-set XYZ axis truss robot, including a layered frame 1, with a positioning component 2 at one end of the layered frame 1. The positioning component 2 includes an assembly frame 21, which is fixedly connected to the top of the layered frame 1. A truss 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly frame 21. An X-axis guide rail 23 is fixedly installed inside the truss 22, and a slider is slidably installed inside the X-axis guide rail 23. A first Y-axis guide rail 210 is fixedly installed between two sliders, and a second Y-axis guide rail 211 is fixedly installed between another set of sliders. A first set of XYZ axes 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider of the first Y-axis guide rail 210, and a second set of XYZ axes 213 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider of the second Y-axis guide rail 211. A gear and rack transmission module 24 is fixedly installed inside the truss 22, and the output end of the gear and rack transmission module 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the power shaft of the first Y-axis guide rail 210 and the second Y-axis guide rail 211. A first Z-axis guide rail 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the first XYZ axis 25, and a clamping fixture 27 is fixedly installed on the slider side of the first Z-axis guide rail 26. An extended clamping rod 28 is fixedly installed at the interface of the clamping fixture 27, and two extended clamping rods 28 clamp a crucible 29. A second Z-axis guide rail 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the second XYZ axis 213, and a stirring fixture 214 is fixedly installed on the slider side of the second Z-axis guide rail 212. An extended stirring rod 215 is fixedly connected to the interface of the stirring fixture 214.

[0027] Detailed Implementation: The layered frame 1 is fixedly installed in a designated area of ​​the production line, and the truss 22 of the positioning component 2 is arranged along the length of the workshop. The clamping fixture 27 of the first set of XYZ axes 25 clamps the crucible 29 containing high-temperature molten metal through the extended clamping rod 28. The crucible is moved from the melting zone to the casting zone by sliding the X-axis guide rail 23 and the first Y-axis guide rail 210. At the same time, the stirring fixture 214 of the second set of XYZ axes 213 extends into the crucible through the extended stirring rod 215. During the movement of the crucible, the second Z-axis guide rail 212 adjusts the stirring depth, and the movement of the Y-axis guide rail achieves uniform stirring, ensuring that the molten metal is mixed evenly. After reaching the casting zone, the clamping fixture releases the crucible to complete the pouring, and the two sets of equipment are simultaneously reset to prepare for the next round of operation.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 In one aspect of this embodiment, a first Z-axis guide rail 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the first XYZ axis 25, and a clamping fixture 27 is fixedly installed on the slider side of the first Z-axis guide rail 26. An extended clamping rod 28 is fixedly installed at the interface of the clamping fixture 27, and two extended clamping rods 28 clamp a crucible 29. A second Z-axis guide rail 212 is fixedly connected to one side of the second XYZ axis 213, and a stirring fixture 214 is fixedly installed on the slider side of the second Z-axis guide rail 212. An extended stirring rod 215 is fixedly connected to the interface of the stirring fixture 214.

[0029] Specific implementation: The first Z-axis guide rail 26 connected to the first XYZ axis 25 is equipped with a heat sink. The drive motor is a servo motor with forced air cooling (Delta ECMA-E21310RS). The extended clamping rod 28 of the clamping fixture 27 is made of silicon nitride ceramic material and extends to 500mm in length to avoid the fixture contacting high-temperature areas. When clamping the crucible 29, the clamping force is monitored in real time by a pressure sensor (range 0-500N) to prevent the crucible from breaking due to high-temperature brittleness. The extended stirring rod 215 of the second XYZ axis 213 is made of GH4169 high-temperature alloy, suitable for molten metal stirring scenarios.

[0030] All electrical devices in this plan are powered by an external power source.

[0031] Working Principle: During the initialization and positioning phase of the equipment, the layered frame 1 provides stable support for the overall equipment. The assembly frame 21 of the positioning component 2 fixes the truss 22 to the top of the layered frame 1, ensuring the installation accuracy of components such as the X-axis guide rail 23, the first Y-axis guide rail 210, and the second Y-axis guide rail 211, providing a reference for the operation of the two sets of XYZ axes. During power transmission and shaft movement, the gear and rack transmission module 24 provides power to the first Y-axis guide rail 210 and the second Y-axis guide rail 211. When the equipment starts, the gear and rack transmission module 24 drives the slider inside the X-axis guide rail 23 to slide, causing the first Y-axis guide rail 210 and the second Y-axis guide rail 211 to move synchronously or independently along the X-axis direction, realizing a wide range of horizontal adjustment for the two sets of XYZ axes. In the operation process of the first set of XYZ axes, the first set of XYZ axes 25 is installed on the slider of the first Y-axis guide rail 210. The position in the Y-axis direction is adjusted by sliding the first Y-axis guide rail 210. The first Z-axis guide rail 26 drives the clamping clamp. The first set of XYZ axes operates vertically, and when the crucible 29 needs to be moved, the extended clamping rod 28 closes to clamp the crucible. Through the coordinated movement of the X, Y, and Z axes, the crucible is moved from its initial position to the designated work point. In the second set of XYZ axis operations, the second set of XYZ axes 213 is connected to the slider of the second Y-axis guide rail 211. The lateral position is adjusted by sliding the second Y-axis guide rail 211. The second Z-axis guide rail 212 controls the lifting and lowering of the stirring clamp 214. During the movement of the crucible by the first set of XYZ axes, the extended stirring rod 215 descends into the crucible through the second Z-axis guide rail 212, moves synchronously with the crucible, and rotates to stir, ensuring uniform mixing of the molten metal. Finally, there is coordinated operation and reset. The two sets of XYZ axes are controlled by the independent sliders of the X-axis guide rail 23, which can perform different actions simultaneously without interfering with each other. After the operation is completed, the gear and rack transmission module 24 drives the sliders of each axis guide rail to reset, waiting for the next operation command, forming a continuous and efficient automated operation cycle.
