[0034] In order to better understand the above technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 As shown, an adaptive assembly station for heavy plates provided by the present invention comprises an assembly platform 1, an elastic support 2 and a three-jaw chuck 3, and after manual positioning, spot welding and assembly processes are completed.

[0036] The assembly platform 1 is used to place the main board and bear the overall weight of the heavy board, and is convenient for operators to weld;

[0037] The elastic support 2 is arranged on the assembly platform 1 to carry the heavy ring and provide elastic force so that the heavy rings of different thicknesses fit tightly with the mainboard;

[0038] The three-jaw chuck 3 is arranged on the assembly platform 1 and is located in the elastic support 2, so as to concentrically operate the main board and the heavy ring to complete the positioning.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the assembly platform 1 includes a bracket 101 and an assembly platform body 102 disposed on the top of the bracket 101 , and a circular mounting groove 103 is formed on the assembly platform body 102 .

[0040] The elastic support 2 includes a support body 201 and an elastic mechanism 202 . The support body 201 is configured in a circular ring shape, is located in the mounting groove 103 , and is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 103 via the elastic mechanism 202 .

[0041] The elastic mechanism 202 includes an upper sleeve 203 disposed on the lower surface of the support body 201 , a lower sleeve 204 disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 103 , and a compression spring 205 connecting the upper sleeve 203 and the lower sleeve 204 .

[0042] There are 12 elastic mechanisms 202 , which are evenly distributed between the support body 201 and the bottom of the installation groove 103 .

[0043] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the three-jaw chuck 3 is arranged in the mounting groove 103 and is located at the center of the inner circle of the support body 201.

[0044] The three-jaw chuck 3 is also connected with a hydraulic device to provide hydraulic power for the three-jaw chuck 3 .

[0045] The present invention also provides a method for using an adaptive assembly platform, comprising the following steps:

[0046] 1) The first heavy ring 4 is hoisted onto the elastic support 2. Since the elastic support 2 provides a large elastic force, the horizontal plane of the first heavy ring 4 is higher than the horizontal plane of the assembly platform body 102. Figure 4 As shown;

[0047] 2) Hoist the motherboard 5 onto the assembly platform body 102 and stack it horizontally on the first heavy ring 4. Since the motherboard 5 is heavy, the first heavy ring 4 will be pressed down to make it flush with the horizontal surface of the assembly platform body 102. This process can meet the requirements of assembling heavy rings of different thicknesses, such as Figure 5 As shown;

[0048] 3) The second heavy ring 6 is hoisted onto the main board 5 and horizontally stacked on the main board 5. At this time, the inner holes on the first heavy ring 4, the main board 5 and the second heavy ring 6 are aligned with the inner ring of the support body 201. The hydraulic device is started to drive the three-jaw chuck 3, and the three-jaw chuck 3 pushes the first heavy ring 4, the main board 5 and the second heavy ring 6 in the inner holes on the first heavy ring 4, the main board 5 and the second heavy ring 6, so that the three components are concentric, thereby completing the positioning, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown;

[0049] 4) The operator performs welding and electric welding to complete the assembly.
