[0019] To address the technical challenge that existing technologies require R&D teams to develop a completely new traveling mechanism for each new end effector design—a process that is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases development costs—this solution provides a traveling mechanism applicable to end effectors with different functions.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 -picture, Figures 1-4One embodiment of the present invention provides a traveling mechanism, comprising a frame 1, a traveling mechanism 2, and a mounting mechanism 3. The traveling mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1 and can move along a preset direction. The mounting mechanism 3 includes a support part 31, a driving member 32, and at least one adjusting member 33. The support part 31 is slidably mounted on the frame 1.

At least one adjusting member 33 is mounted on the support part 31, and the adjusting member 33 has a movable end that can move along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the traveling mechanism 2.

[0021] In actual use, the operator can install the end effector on the support 31 and drive the support 31 to rise and fall through the drive component 32, thereby driving the end effector to rise and fall; or install the end effector on the movable end and drive the end effector to move through the movable end along the direction of movement perpendicular to the traveling mechanism 2; the traveling mechanism 2 can drive the frame 1 to move, and the end effector can perform the corresponding work tasks.

[0022] It should be noted that the support part 31 is not limited to a specific structure. In one embodiment, the support part 31 includes a mounting platform 311 and a plurality of connectors 312. The plurality of connectors 312 are all mounted on the mounting platform 311. Each connector 312 is slidably connected to a guide rail on the frame 1. The mounting platform 311 is connected to the drive member 32. The adjustment member 33 is mounted on the mounting platform 311.

[0023] Specifically, one side of the platform 311 has an installation area, and the end effector can be fixed to the installation area.

[0024] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the driving component 32 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can drive the mounting platform 311 to move up and down; specifically, the driving component 32 includes a driving source 321 and a threaded screw 322, the threaded screw 322 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the threaded screw 322 is threadedly rotatably connected to the mounting platform 311, the driving source 321 is mounted on the frame 1 and connected to one end of the threaded screw 322.

[0025] It is understandable that by driving the threaded screw 322 to rotate forward or backward through the drive source 321, the mounting platform 311 can be driven to rise and fall.

[0026] Preferably, in one embodiment, the drive source 321 includes a first motor 3211 and a chain 3212. The first motor 3211 is mounted on the frame 1. A drive gear is fixed at the output end of the first motor 3211. A driven gear is provided at the end of the threaded screw 322.
