[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a large-span gantry-type traveling robotic arm, including a gantry 1, a transverse frame 2 above the gantry 1, and a support frame 3 above the transverse frame 2. Multiple movable frames 8 are respectively installed on the gantry frame 1 and the transverse frame 2. A storage box 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable frame 8. An electromagnet 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box 10. A connecting rod 17 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage box 10. The connecting rod 17 has the freedom to move in the horizontal direction. A movable plate 18 and an iron plate 14 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod 17, respectively. A second spring 19 is fixedly installed between the movable plate 18 and the side wall of the storage box 10. A one-way air inlet pipe 20 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage box 10. A one-way air outlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage box 10.

[0024] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By setting up an electromagnet 11, when the electromagnet 11 is energized, the iron plate 14 can be attracted to the electromagnet 11, and then the moving plate 18 is moved by the connecting rod 17 to draw outside air into the storage box 10. When the electromagnet 11 is de-energized, it loses its magnetism. Under the elastic action of the second spring 19, the moving plate 18 can be pushed back, thereby compressing the drawn-in air. After repeating this process multiple times, the pressure inside the storage box 10 increases. When the pressure inside the storage box 10 reaches the opening threshold of the one-way air outlet pipe 21, the grease inside the storage box 10 is squeezed onto the slide rail 6 through the one-way air outlet pipe 21 to achieve lubrication. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0025] The top of both the gantry frame 1 and the transverse frame 2 are fixedly installed with slide rails 6, and the moving frame 8 is slidably connected to the slide rails 6.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: by setting the slide rail 6 to position and guide the movement of the moving frame 8, the movement direction of the moving frame 8 can be controlled, and deviation of the moving frame 8 can be avoided.

[0027] Among them, a linear motor 4 is driven and connected in the middle of the support frame 3, and an mounting plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the linear motor 4. The mounting plate 5 is located inside the gantry frame 1. A servo motor 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the moving frame 8, and a reducer 23 is driven and connected at the output end of the servo motor 9.

[0028] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The reducer 23 is fixedly installed on the moving frame 8. The linear motor 4 drives the mounting plate 5 to move up and down, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the product. The servo motor 9 drives the moving wheel at the bottom center of the moving frame 8, thereby driving the transverse frame 2 and the moving frame 8 installed at the front and rear ends of the transverse frame 2 to move left and right on the slide rail 6 at the top of the gantry frame 1, and driving the support frame 3 and the moving frame 8 installed at the left and right ends of the support frame 3 to move back and forth on the slide rail 6 installed at the top of the transverse frame 2. The power output by the servo motor 9 drives the moving frame 8 to move through the reducer 23.

[0029] The storage box 10 is fixedly equipped with a supplementary tube 22 at the end away from the mobile frame 8.

[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: by opening the replenishment tube 22, lubricating grease can be replenished into the inner cavity of the storage box 10 through the replenishment tube 22, and the end of the replenishment tube 22 is provided with a sealing cap to achieve the sealing of the replenishment tube 22.

[0031] The movable piece 18 is composed of a rectangular plate and a cylindrical shaft. The cylindrical shaft passes through and extends to the outside of the storage box 10. The storage box 10 has through holes on both the upper and lower sides of the cylindrical shaft.

[0032] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the movement of the grease is achieved by setting a rectangular plate, and the movement of the rectangular plate is positioned and guided by setting a cylindrical shaft to slide on the side wall of the storage box 10. The air in the part without grease between the moving plate 18 and the side wall of the storage box 10 is allowed to flow smoothly by opening through holes, so as to avoid the moving plate 18 being unable to move smoothly due to air pressure.

[0033] The slide rail 6 has multiple mounting holes 7 at its top end. The bottom end of the movable frame 8, away from the storage box 10, is slidably connected to a positioning pin 12. A first spring 13 is fixedly installed between the positioning pin 12 and the movable frame 8. A second push block 16 and a first push block 15 are fixedly installed on the top end of the positioning pin 12 and the end of the iron plate 14 near the positioning pin 12, respectively.

[0034] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By installing the first push block 15 on the iron plate 14, the moving frame 8 stops moving after the electromagnet 11 is de-energized. At this time, the iron plate 14 is reset, and the first push block 15 is pushed to the second push block 16. Then, the second push block 16 presses down the positioning pin 12, so that the positioning pin 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, thereby locking and positioning the position of the moving frame 8 to prevent shaking.

[0035] The bottom end of the positioning pin 12 extends through and to the bottom of the movable frame 8, and the positioning pin 12 is located above the mounting hole 7.

[0036] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: the positioning pin 12 can be inserted into the mounting hole 7 when it moves down, and the movement of the positioning pin 12 is positioned and guided by the moving frame 8. The rear end of the second push block 16 is slidably connected to the moving frame 8 through a slider to prevent the positioning pin 12 from deflecting.

[0037] Among them, the opposite ends of the first push block 15 and the second push block 16 are parallel inclined surfaces.

[0038] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: by setting the inclined surfaces of the first push block 15 and the second push block 16, the second push block 16 can be smoothly pressed down when the first push block 15 moves laterally, so as to ensure that the positioning pin 12 moves downward.

[0039] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: The servo motor 9 and the electromagnet 11 are electrically connected. When the servo motor 9 is powered on and started, the electromagnet 11 will start synchronously. Similarly, when the servo motor 9 is powered off, the electromagnet 11 will be powered off. The front and rear ends of the transverse frame 2 are fixedly connected to the movable frame 8, and the movable frame 8 on the transverse frame 2 is slidably connected to the gantry frame 1. The left and right ends of the support frame 3 are fixedly connected to the movable frame 8, and the movable frame 8 on the support frame 3 is slidably connected to the transverse frame 2. During the grasping and moving operation, the servo motor 9 drives the drive wheel at the bottom of the moving frame 8 to rotate after passing through the reducer 23, thereby causing the moving frame 8 to slide on the slide rail 6, thereby changing the horizontal position of the moving frame 8 to reach the required position. Then, the linear motor 4 drives the mounting plate 5 to move down, so that the gripper installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 can perform the grasping operation. After the grasping is completed, the linear motor 4 drives the mounting plate 5 and the gripper to move up and reset, and the moving frame 8 places the product at the required position. When the servo motor 9 drives the moving frame 8 to move, the electromagnet 11 is energized and generates magnetism, attracting the iron plate 14 to the electromagnet 11. This, in turn, drives the moving piece 18 to move via the connecting rod 17, drawing outside air into the storage box 10. Simultaneously, the second push block 16 and the first push block 15 reference... Figure 2 In the state shown, the two are separated, and the elastic force of the first spring 13 can push the positioning pin 12 upward, so that the positioning pin 12 leaves the mounting hole 7. After the servo motor 9 is de-energized, the electromagnet 11 loses its magnetism. Under the elastic action of the second spring 19, the moving plate 18 can be pushed back, thereby compressing the drawn-in air. At the same time, the iron plate 14 moves in the opposite direction, pushing the first push block 15 towards the second push block 16. Then, the second push block 16 presses down the positioning pin 12, so that the positioning pin 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, thereby locking and positioning the position of the moving frame 8. After repeated starting and stopping of the servo motor 9, the pressure inside the storage box 10 gradually increases. When the pressure inside the storage box 10 reaches the opening threshold of the one-way vent pipe 21, the grease inside the storage box 10 is squeezed onto the slide rail 6 through the one-way vent pipe 21 to achieve lubrication.
