8. A quick-change device for a work platform according to claim 7, characterized in that: The automatic clamping mechanism includes a locking slide (37), a second telescopic oil cylinder (38) and a locking card (39), wherein the second telescopic oil cylinder (38) is installed on the upper surface of the support seat (36) and is connected to the bottom of the locking slide (37), and the locking card (39) is fixed to the lower part of the working robot (15); the locking slide (37) can slide along the upper surface of the support seat (36) under the push of the second telescopic oil cylinder (38), and cooperates with the locking card (39) to realize the automatic locking of the working robot (15).

9. A quick-change device for a work platform according to claim 8, characterized in that: The shock-absorbing mechanism comprises a shock-absorbing rubber cylinder (33), a connecting plate (34) and a spring shock absorber (35) which are fixed on the support seat (36) in sequence from bottom to top.

10. The method for operating the quick-change device for a work platform according to claim 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. Disassembling the working robot: Retract the second telescopic cylinder to lock the locking block of the locking slide into the locking plate, thus locking the working robot. Retract the latch cylinder to disengage the locking pin from the lower positioning sleeve. Retract the lifting cylinder to disengage the positioning fork from the upper positioning shaft. Rotate the swing arm assembly to the rear of the vehicle, thus completing the disassembly of the working robot. S2. Install the two-person insulated bucket: Extend the telescopic cylinder 1 to the specified position and loosen the binding belt assembly appropriately; rotate the swing arm assembly to the specified angle. At the same time, adjust the slewing mechanism on the connecting frame to rotate it to the specified angle and move the quick-change lifting frame to the bottom of the second mounting frame; extend the lifting cylinder so that the positioning fork cooperates with the upper positioning shaft to slightly lift the second mounting frame; extend the latch cylinder so that the locking pin shaft is locked with the lower positioning sleeve; loosen the binding belt assembly and rotate the swing arm assembly to the rear of the vehicle to complete the installation of the two-person insulated bucket; S3. Dismantle the two-person insulated bucket: Extend the telescopic cylinder to the specified position; rotate the swing arm assembly to the specified angle, and adjust the slewing mechanism on the connecting frame to the specified angle to move the two-person insulated bucket above the sliding frame; retract the lifting cylinder to allow the two-person insulated bucket to fall onto the vibration damping pad; retract the latch cylinder to disengage the locking pin shaft from the lower locating sleeve; further retract the lifting cylinder to disengage the locating fork from the upper locating shaft; rotate the swing arm assembly to the rear of the vehicle to complete the dismantling of the two-person insulated bucket; S4. Install the working robot: rotate the swing arm assembly to the specified angle, and at the same time adjust the slewing mechanism on the connecting frame to rotate to the specified angle, and move the quick-change lifting frame to the bottom of the mounting frame 1; extend the lifting cylinder to make the positioning fork cooperate with the upper positioning shaft to slightly lift the mounting frame 1; extend the latch cylinder to clamp the locking pin shaft and the lower positioning sleeve; extend the telescopic cylinder to disengage the locking slide from the locking clamping plate, and complete the installation of the working robot.
