The detection device includes a horizontal servo module 43 corresponding to the seat frame. A vertical servo module 44 is slidably connected to the horizontal servo module. A telescopic servo module 45 is installed on the vertical servo module. The telescopic end of the telescopic servo module corresponds to the chair back of the seat frame. A data acquisition device 46 is installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic servo module. The limiting device includes a horizontal cylinder 47.

The vertical servo module includes a vertical seat plate 51, and the vertical seat plate is installed on the horizontal screw mechanism and slides horizontally with the rotation of the horizontal screw. The vertical seat plate is rotatably connected to a vertical screw mechanism 52.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rotational connection method for the cylinder fixing block is conventional. Expansion sleeves 57 are used on both sides of the cylinder fixing block to achieve a keyless connection to the U-shaped mounting plate. High-strength tension bolts generate a significant clamping force between the inner ring and the shaft, and between the outer ring and the wheel hub, achieving a keyless connection of the cylinder fixing block. When the mechanism is under load, the combined pressure and friction between the expansion sleeves, the mechanical component, and the shaft transmit torque, axial force, or a combination of the two, allowing the electric cylinder to rotate through an angle of 0 to 120°. Other rotational connection methods are also acceptable, as long as they enable rotation. The expansion sleeve is a conventional keyless connection device. Its principle and purpose is to generate a significant clamping force between the inner ring and the shaft, and between the outer ring and the wheel hub, achieving a keyless connection between the mechanical component and the shaft, through the action of high-strength tension bolts. When under load, the combined pressure and friction between the expansion sleeves, the mechanical component, and the shaft transmit torque, axial force, or a combination of the two. The main advantages of expansion sleeve connection are as follows: high centering accuracy; easy installation / adjustment / disassembly; high strength, stable and reliable connection; can protect equipment from damage when overloaded, and is particularly suitable for transmitting heavy loads.

After the locking is completed, the industrial robot resets, the lifting mechanism lowers, and the tooling plate continues to move along the assembly line.

[0050] Then, when the tooling plate passes through the jacking mechanism in the middle of the assembly line, the tooling plate is limited by the mechanical valve, the rear end of the seat support frame assembly is inserted into the rear side of the seat frame, and the front end is fixed in the positioning hole on the front side of the seat frame, and the buckle is knocked in with a rubber hammer; the telescopic rod of the top cylinder of the foot pedal switch quick-opening mechanism is kicked back to its position, driving the outer lock buckle of the linkage mechanism to rotate. When the lock actuates the handle, the tooling plate buckle can be unlocked, so that the seat on the tooling plate pallet is rotated, the operator's foot leaves the foot pedal switch, and the quick-opening mechanism returns to its position; then take the back support frame assembly and insert it into the back frame frame, take the buckle hook and buckle it into the positioning holes of the pipe racks on both sides of the back frame frame in sequence, and then fix the other end of the buckle hook to the hose on the same side of the back support frame assembly, and kick the foot pedal switch to rotate the seat on the tooling plate pallet 180 degrees;

[0051] When the tooling plate passes through the last lifting mechanism of the assembly line, the lifting mechanism cylinder lifts the tooling plate; after the limit plate on the cylinder of the limit device is pushed out, the upper layer of the tooling plate is fixed horizontally; the horizontal servo module starts the stepper motor to move the vertical servo module laterally through the screw, and the vertical servo module starts the stepper motor to move the U-shaped mounting plate longitudinally through the screw, so that the data acquisition device can be accurately moved to the specified position. The data acquisition device is inserted into the seat frame, and the electric cylinder is started to precisely push and pull the data acquisition device to achieve forward and reverse loading. Finally, the data acquisition device converts the data output. After the inspection is completed, each mechanism returns to its position, the lifting mechanism descends, and the seat frame moves to the next workstation.
