Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation control technology, specifically to an integrated cockpit for controlling a gantry robot. Background Technology

[0002] Gantry robots or gantry handling systems are key equipment for realizing the automation and intelligence of industrial production. They are widely used in material handling, machine tool loading and unloading, assembly, inspection and other processes. They are usually based on the movement of the Cartesian coordinate system (XYZ) and use lifting devices to grab, move and place workpieces.

[0012] 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.

[0013] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0014] As is generally known in this field, a gantry robot, also known as a gantry-type transport robot (conventional structure, not shown in the figure), includes a main gantry for primary movement and smaller trolleys mounted on the gantry for fine movement. Both the gantry and trolleys are moving components. The gantry is the foundation and main moving platform of the entire gantry assembly, directly mounted on the factory foundation, rails, or fixed support structure, and moves along the length of the entire work area. The trolleys are secondary moving platforms mounted on the gantry, directly mounted on the gantry's rails or slides, arranged perpendicular to the gantry, and moving in a direction perpendicular to the gantry's direction of movement. Furthermore, the gantry robot also includes several independent end effectors for transporting goods. In this embodiment, the lifting components are a main hook and an auxiliary hook, which are independent lifting components. The main hook is used to undertake the main, heavy-duty handling tasks and is usually a hook with greater power, slower lifting speed, and used to handle the maximum rated load. The auxiliary hook is used to undertake auxiliary, light-duty or fast-handling tasks and is usually a hook with less power but faster lifting speed, used to handle lighter loads. Secondly, the main hook and auxiliary hook usually include independent lifting motors, reducers, brakes, and position encoders. Both are installed on the same trolley and the same crane, and can move in the same plane but can be lifted and lowered independently. Thirdly, the mounting point of the auxiliary hook is usually located above the main hook, which can avoid interference between the two in vertical space.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is an integrated cockpit for controlling a gantry robot. The cockpit includes a support assembly 1; a control assembly 2 electrically connected to the gantry robot; the support assembly 1 includes a seat 11 for supporting the operator; the control assembly 2 is integrated into the seat 11; the operator can control the horizontal movement of the moving parts and the vertical movement of the lifting parts through the control assembly 2; and a display screen 3 and a fatigue detection camera 5 connected to the support assembly 1; the fatigue detection camera 5 can display the operator's fatigue state through the display screen 3.

[0016] Specifically, the control components 2 are installed on both sides of the seat 11, within the range of the operator's arms, allowing the operator to contact the control components 2 while seated. The execution signals emitted by the control components 2 control the movement state of the gantry robot, enabling the operator to control the end effector of the gantry robot while seated. The end effector includes a moving part and a lifting part, improving the integration of the support component 1 and the control components 2, enhancing the ease of operation, alleviating operator fatigue during long-term work, and conforming to ergonomics. Secondly, this embodiment includes four displays 3 connected to the support component 1 via integrated brackets, which are connected to external cameras to display motion videos of the gantry robot and its interaction with the surrounding environment, preventing accidents during its movement. The collision caused the accident. Secondly, the fatigue detection camera 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support component 1. It can directly detect the operator's face. Camera fatigue detection technology is a common technology in the field of new energy vehicles, but it is the first time it has been used to detect whether the operator driving the gantry robot is fatigued. The fatigue detection camera 5 captures the operator's facial and eye information in real time, uses algorithms to analyze and process the information, extracts features that can characterize the fatigue state, and finally makes judgments and warnings based on preset thresholds and models. When the fatigue detection camera 5 detects that the operator is fatigued, it reminds the operator through the display screen 3. When the fatigue detection camera 5 detects that the operator is not fatigued, the display screen 3 does not display its detection signal or displays normal driving, thus improving the safety of operation.

[0017] Furthermore, the support component 1 also includes: armrests 12 respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the seat 11, the control component 2 being integrated into the armrests 12 to shorten the distance between the operator sitting in the seat 11 and the control component 2; and a table 13 disposed in front of the seat 11, the table 13 facing the operator, the display screen 3 being integrated into the table 13 to display the movement status of the gantry robot and the transported goods.

[0018] Specifically, the positive X-axis direction in the figure represents the right direction of this embodiment, and the positive Y-axis direction represents the front direction of this embodiment. Secondly, the control component 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the armrest 12, and the display screen 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the table 13 via an integrated bracket. The armrest 12, table 13, and seat 11 are relatively fixed. When the operator sits on the seat 11, the height of the armrest 12 is similar to the operator's waist height, and the middle height of the lowest-height display screen 3 is equal to the operator's eye level, allowing the operator to control the control component 2 and view the display screen 3 in a natural posture. The table 13 is located in front of the operator, allowing the operator to extend their arms and contact the table 13, alleviating fatigue from prolonged operation of the control component 2 and prolonged contact with the table 13, thus conforming to ergonomics.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the control component 2 includes: a left handle 21 and a right handle 22 connected to the left and right handrails 12 respectively, the left handle 21 and the right handle 22 controlling the displacement of the lifting component and the moving component respectively; and several indicator lights 24 and several buttons 23 arranged around the left handle 21 or the right handle 22. The indicator lights 24 can detect various preset working states of the gantry robot, and the buttons 23 can control various preset running commands of the gantry robot to improve the control efficiency of the gantry robot.

[0020] Specifically, the left-side control component 2 controls the movement of the lifting components of the gantry robot. The left handle 21 controls the lifting component's ascent or descent by swinging, with the amplitude of the upward or downward swing determining the speed of ascent or descent. Operators can preset functions for the left-side buttons 23 according to the production site and requirements, so that pressing a button 23 on the left will achieve a specific function, such as resetting or lowering to the lowest position, or selecting the main hook / auxiliary hook lifting / lowering. The preset left-side indicator light being on or off indicates the working status of the auxiliary hook, such as whether it is working normally or has reached the initial position. Secondly, the right-side control component 2 controls the movement of the moving components. The right handle 22 controls the moving component's forward, backward, left, and right movement by swinging, with the amplitude of the left-right or forward / backward swing determining the moving speed. Operators can preset movement commands for the right-side buttons 23 according to the production site and requirements, so that pressing a button 23 on the right will achieve a preset function, such as resetting the moving component. The preset right-side indicator light being on or off indicates the working status of the moving component, such as whether it is working normally or has reached the initial position. This improves the integration of the control component 2 and enhances the control efficiency of the gantry robot.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a touch screen 4 set on the table 13, through which the operator can preset the working status of the gantry robot or preset the running instructions of the gantry robot.

[0022] Specifically, the touchscreen 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the table 13 near the seat 11, so that when the operator sits on the seat 11, his arms can naturally touch the touchscreen 4, avoiding fatigue caused by prolonged contact with the touchscreen 4; secondly, the touchscreen 4 is electrically connected to the control component 2, and the operator can modify the preset contents of the left button 23 and indicator light 24, or the preset contents of the right button 23 or indicator light 24 through the control interface of the touchscreen 4, so that the control component 2 can better meet the production requirements, making it easier for the operator to control the gantry robot to transport goods and improve the handling efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the seat 11, armrest 12, and table 13 are connected to form an integrated structure.

[0024] Specifically, the seat 11 and table 13 are fixedly installed on the base plate 14, and the armrests 12 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the seat 11, so that the relative positions of the seat 11, table 13 and armrests 12 are fixed, so that when the three are moved to other positions, their relative positions remain unchanged, thereby improving the adaptability of the support component 1 to different placement positions. This allows the embodiment to adapt to the production requirements of different factories without affecting the user experience, thus improving its adaptability.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
