Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ground rail technology, and more particularly to a ground rail for industrial robots. Background Technology

[0002] As the manufacturing industry transforms towards intelligent manufacturing, the application scenarios of industrial robots are constantly expanding. However, traditional fixed robots, due to their limited operating radius, struggle to cover multi-station tasks. The introduction of floor rails solves this problem. By moving the robot along the rail, its working range is significantly expanded, allowing one robot to serve multiple workstations, improving production efficiency, and avoiding the need for a separate robot at each workstation, thus saving on equipment procurement and maintenance costs. However, in existing technologies, floor rails require regular lubrication and maintenance by personnel. This lubrication and maintenance necessitates stopping the equipment, leading to frequent downtime and reduced equipment utilization, which in turn affects overall production efficiency. Furthermore, lubrication and maintenance are cumbersome, increasing the workload of maintenance personnel. Additionally, the length of existing floor rails is usually fixed, while the required movement range of robots in different production scenarios sometimes varies, making such rail lengths unsuitable for general use and impractical. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a ground rail for industrial robots. A grease pump delivers lubricating oil to a lubrication gear, which then supplies it to a helical rack for lubrication and maintenance. This allows for lubrication without stopping the machine, ensuring production efficiency and reducing the workload of operators. Since the rail body, ground rail connecting strips, and connecting screws are multiple, they can be assembled according to requirements, adapting to different usage scenarios and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a ground rail for an industrial robot, comprising a rail body, a first sliding mechanism and a second sliding mechanism mounted on the rail body, a helical rack mounted on the rail body, a ground rail connecting strip and connecting screws, and a robot following mechanism. One end of the robot following mechanism is mounted on the first sliding mechanism, and the other end is mounted on the second sliding mechanism. The helical rack is positioned close to the second sliding mechanism, and the robot following mechanism is meshed with the helical rack. Multiple rail bodies, ground rail connecting strips, and connecting screws are used, and adjacent rail bodies are fixed together by the ground rail connecting strips and connecting screws. The robot following mechanism includes a drive assembly and a mounting assembly fixedly connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive mounting plate, a reducer and a grease pump mounted on the drive mounting plate, a servo motor mounted on the reducer, a helical gear mounted on the reducer, and a lubrication gear rotatably mounted on the mounting plate. The helical gear and the lubrication gear are both meshed with the helical rack. The grease pump is connected to the lubrication gear. One end of the drive mounting plate is mounted on the first sliding mechanism, and the other end of the drive mounting plate is mounted on the second sliding mechanism. One end of the mounting assembly is mounted on the first sliding mechanism, and the other end of the mounting assembly is mounted on the second sliding mechanism.

There are multiple second sliders arranged at intervals. One end of the drive mounting plate is mounted on the first slider, and the other end of the drive mounting plate is mounted on the second slider.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a long plate, a robot mounting plate mounted on the long plate, and a gripper changing station mounted on the robot mounting plate. One end of the long plate is mounted on the first slider, and the other end of the long plate is mounted on the second slider. One end of the robot mounting plate is mounted on the long plate, and the other end of the robot mounting plate is mounted on the drive mounting plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a cable chain, one end of which is mounted on the track body and the other end of which is mounted on the drive mounting plate.

One end of the mounting assembly 520 is mounted on the first sliding mechanism. 200, the other end of the mounting component 520 is installed on the second sliding mechanism 300; the grease pump 513 can deliver lubricating oil to the lubrication gear 516, and then to the helical rack 400 for lubrication and maintenance. Lubrication and maintenance can be performed without stopping the machine, ensuring production efficiency and reducing the workload of the staff. Since there are multiple track bodies 100, ground rail connecting strips 110 and connecting screws 120, they can be spliced ​​according to needs to adapt to different usage scenarios, making it highly practical.

[0026] The first sliding mechanism 200 includes a first slide rail 210 installed on the track body 100 and a first slider 220 slidably installed on the first slide rail 210. There are multiple first sliders 220 and they are spaced apart.

[0027] The second sliding mechanism 300 includes a second slide rail 310 mounted on the track body 100 and a second slider 320 slidably mounted on the second slide rail 310. There are multiple second sliders 320 and they are spaced apart.

[0028] Mounting assembly 520 includes a long plate 521, a robot mounting plate 522 mounted on the long plate 521, and a gripper changing station 523 mounted on the robot mounting plate 522. One end of the long plate 521 is mounted on a first slider 220, and the other end of the long plate 521 is mounted on a second slider 320.

There are multiple anti-collision blocks 130 and anti-collision rubber 140, which are spaced apart.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the industrial robot is installed on the robot mounting plate 522 and needs to move, the servo motor 514 drives the helical gear 515 to rotate through the reducer 512. Since the helical gear 515 is meshed with the helical rack 400, it can move relative to the helical rack 400. During the movement, the first slider 220 moves on the first slide rail 210 and the second slider 320 moves on the second slide rail 310, which can play a supporting and auxiliary role in the movement. During the movement, the grease pump 513 can be started from time to time as needed to deliver lubricating oil to the lubrication gear 516, and then the lubrication gear 516 is applied to the helical rack 400 to complete the lubrication maintenance.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
