Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fixing fixture for track operation of a cable-driven robot, and particularly to a fixing fixture for track operation of a cable-driven robot applied in the field of tooling fixtures. Background Technology
[0002] The core function of cable-driven robots is to drive end effectors by replacing rigid links with cables, enabling flexible operations in large spaces, with high loads and high precision. Through a design that combines rigidity and flexibility, cable-driven robots have solved the adaptability bottleneck of traditional robots in large spaces, heavy loads and complex environments, becoming a key piece of equipment for breaking through physical limitations in the Industry 4.0 era. When cable-driven robots are working on tracks, fixed clamps are used by personnel to improve their stability.
[0003] Existing fixed fixtures for cable-driven robot track operations, after fixing the cable-driven robot on the track, will reduce the stability of the cable-driven robot during operation if the robot's movement is too large or the fixture is not properly clamped, which will greatly increase the risk of the cable-driven robot falling off the track. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that when the cable-driven robot moves too much or the gripper fails to hold it properly during operation, the stability of the cable-driven robot will be reduced, which will greatly increase the risk of it falling off the track.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a fixing fixture for track operation of cable-driven robots, including a reinforcing fixture, wherein a motor is fixedly connected to the side of the reinforcing fixture;
[0006] A clamping mechanism is provided on the output end of the motor, and a track is provided on the side of the clamping mechanism;
[0007] A connecting plate is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the reinforcing clamp, and an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate. A support base is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod.
[0008] As a further improvement of this application, a fixing plate is attached to each of the two sides of the support base, and a plurality of insertion blocks are fixedly connected to the sides of the fixing plate.
[0009] As a further improvement of this application, a rectangular block is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the support base, and an electric push rod II is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular block near the fixed plate. The telescopic end of the electric push rod II is fixedly connected to the fixed plate.
[0010] As a further improvement of this application, there is a gap between the support base and the motor, and in the initial state, the position of the support base is higher than that of the track.
[0011] As another improvement of this application, a nozzle is fixedly connected to the side of the support base, and an air pump is fixedly connected to the side of the support base near the connecting plate. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the support base, and the side of the nozzle is connected to the support base.
[0012] As a further improvement to this application, the support base has a pair of circular slots on the side near the motor, and a protective cover is inserted inside the circular slots.
[0013] As a further improvement to this application, the surface of the protective cover is coated with a magnetic coating, and a metal ring that is magnetically attracted to the magnetic coating is fixedly connected inside the circular groove.
[0014] This application has the following beneficial effects when used:
[0015] 1. When in use, start the motor to move the clamping mechanism toward the track and clamp the track to fix the cable-driven robot on the track. Before starting the cable-driven robot to work, start the electric push rod one to push the support base and all the mechanisms on it to the ground until the support base contacts the ground. Use a pair of support bases to support the two sides of the cable-driven robot to improve its stability during operation. Then start the electric push rod two to push the fixing plate and the insertion block to the ground until the insertion block is fully inserted into the ground. This will further improve the stability of the cable-driven robot on the track when it is not clamped properly, and make it less likely for the cable-driven robot to fall off the track.
[0016] 2. When in use, one end of the protective cover can be manually removed from the circular groove to remove it from the support base, exposing the nozzle. Then, the air pump can be started to inflate the support base, causing the gas to spray out from the nozzle and blow onto the inner wall of the track, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the track and making it less prone to the adhesion of a large amount of dust and foreign matter. This reduces the friction experienced by the application when moving on the track, thus facilitating the movement of the application on the track. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] First implementation method:
[0026] Figure 1-4 A fixing fixture for track operation of a cable-driven robot is shown, including a reinforcing fixture 1, wherein a motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the reinforcing fixture 1;
[0027] A clamping mechanism 3 is provided on the output end of the motor 2, and a track 4 is provided on the side of the clamping mechanism 3;
[0028] A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the reinforcing clamp 1. An electric push rod 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 5. A support base 7 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 6.
[0029] A fixing plate 8 is attached to one or both sides of the support base 7, and multiple insertion blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the sides of the fixing plate 8.
[0030] A rectangular block 10 is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the support base 7. An electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular block 10 closest to the fixing plate 8. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 8.
[0031] There is a gap between the support base 7 and the motor 2. In the initial state, the position of the support base 7 is higher than that of the track 4.
[0032] This solution can be implemented by starting motor 2, causing clamping mechanism 3 to move towards track 4 and clamp track 4 to fix the cable-driven robot on track 4.
[0033] Before starting the cable-driven robot to work, the electric push rod 6 needs to be activated so that its telescopic end can push the support base 7 and all the mechanisms on it to the ground until the support base 7 contacts the ground. The pair of support bases 7 are used to support the two sides of the cable-driven robot to improve its stability during operation.
[0034] Then, the electric push rod 11 can be activated to push the fixed plate 8 and the insertion block 9 together to the ground until the insertion block 9 is fully inserted into the ground. This will further improve the stability of the cable-driven robot on the track 4 when the clamping mechanism 3 fails to clamp it properly, thus making it less likely for the cable-driven robot to fall off the track 4. Finally, the cable-driven robot can be started to perform its work.
[0035] Second implementation method:
[0036] This embodiment adds the following structure based on the first embodiment, while the rest remains the same as the first embodiment, as detailed below:
[0037] Figure 4-5 The support base 7 is shown to have a nozzle 12 fixedly connected to its side. An air pump 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the support base 7 near the connecting plate 5. The air outlet of the air pump 13 is connected to the support base 7. The side of the nozzle 12 is connected to the support base 7.
[0038] The support base 7 has a pair of circular grooves 14 on the side near the motor 2, and a protective cover 15 is inserted inside the circular grooves 14.
[0039] The surface of the protective cover 15 is coated with a magnetic coating 16. A metal ring 17, which is magnetically attracted to the magnetic coating 16, is fixedly connected inside the circular groove 14. After the dust removal of the inner wall of the track 4 is completed, one end of the protective cover 15 needs to be inserted back into the circular groove 14 so that the magnetic coating 16 and the metal ring 17 are magnetically attracted together, thereby improving the stability of the protective cover 15 on the support 7. The protective cover 15 is used to seal and protect the nozzle 12, so that dust and foreign objects are not easily adhered to the nozzle 12.
[0040] This solution allows for manual removal of one end of the protective cover 15 from the circular groove 14 during use, removing it from the support base 7 and exposing the nozzle 12. Then, the air pump 13 is activated to inflate the support base 7, causing the gas to spray out from the nozzle 12 and hit the inner wall of the track 4, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the track 4 and preventing the adhesion of large amounts of dust and foreign matter. This reduces the friction experienced by the application as it moves on the track 4, thus facilitating its movement on the track 4.
