[0023] Please see Figure 1-5In this utility model, the emergency braking device for a cantilever handling robot includes a main rod 1. A fixing component 2 is installed at the bottom end of the main rod 1. A control component 3 is installed on the outer surface of the main rod 1. A support frame 9 is installed at the top end of the main rod 1. A drive component 7 is installed on the front of the support frame 9. A protective component 4 is installed on the outer surface of the drive component 7. A braking component 6 is installed at the rear end of the drive component 7. A handling component 5 is installed on the upper surface of the support frame 9. The drive component 7 includes two first bearings 22. A connecting rod 21 is installed on the inner ring of the two first bearings 22. The front of the connecting rod 21... A drive motor 20 is installed at the end of the conveying assembly 5, which includes a first robotic arm 12 located at the top of the main rod 1. The bottom end of the first robotic arm 12 is connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 21. A second robotic arm 10 is installed at the top of the first robotic arm 12, and a robotic claw 11 is installed at the bottom of the second robotic arm 10. By installing the drive motor 20 on the outer surface of the support frame 9, the connecting rod 21 can be rotated by the drive motor 20, thereby driving the first robotic arm 12 installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 21 to swing, so that the device can operate normally.

[0024] The braking assembly 6 includes a mounting frame 17 located on the back of the support frame 9. A second bearing 19 is embedded in the inner wall of the mounting frame 17. The rear end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 19. A brake disc 18 is located inside the mounting frame 17, on the outer surface of the connecting rod 21. A brake caliper 23 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 17. The brake disc 18 is installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 21 and rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 21. The brake caliper 23 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 17. When the emergency braking signal is issued in the control panel 8, the piston in the brake caliper 23, driven by the hydraulic or pneumatic system, quickly clamps the brake disc 18, using friction to stop the connecting rod 21 from rotating. The brake caliper 23 adopts a symmetrical design to ensure uniform force during braking and avoid damage to the device due to unilateral force. The surface of the brake disc 18 is specially treated to increase wear resistance and friction coefficient, thereby improving braking performance.

[0025] The protective component 4 includes a protective frame 13, which is located on the outer surface of the support frame 9. The outer surface of the protective frame 13 is provided with a heat dissipation window 14, which can protect the drive motor 20 and prevent the drive motor 20 from being impacted.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this cantilever handling robot emergency braking device, first place the device in a suitable position and fix it with the fixing component 2 below the device. Then, start the device by operating the control component 3 to make the device run normally. Then, if it is necessary to brake the device in an emergency during use, activate the brake caliper 23 in the device by controlling the component 3 to clamp the brake disc 18, thereby limiting the rotation of the connecting rod 21 and stopping the handling component 5. Finally, by separating the brake caliper 23 from the brake disc 18, the device can be restarted.
