[0031] When positioning measurement is required, the robot body 1 can be controlled. Since the robot body 1 adopts a conventional robot on the market, the control method of the robot body 1 belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] The positioning and measuring mechanism includes a mounting base 25, on which a first laser rangefinder 22 and a second laser rangefinder 24 are fixedly connected, a camera 23 is arranged between the first laser rangefinder 22 and the second laser rangefinder 24, a limiting groove 36 is arranged through the mounting base 25, a supporting column 35 is arranged inside the limiting groove 36, one end of the supporting column 35 is fixedly connected to the camera 23, and the other end of the supporting column 35 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9, and the mounting plate 9 is connected to the mounting base 25 through a rotating component;
[0033] When the robot body 1 is controlled to move the heat sink 2 to a designated position for measurement;
[0034] The first laser rangefinder 22, the second laser rangefinder 24, and the camera 23 can be started by controlling the switch, and the first laser rangefinder 22, the second laser rangefinder 24, and the camera 23 can be used to position and measure the object to be measured. The first laser rangefinder 22 and the second laser rangefinder 24 can digitize each corner of the object to be measured to form a coordinate system, and the coordinate system can be used to accurately determine the position, and the camera 23 can take a picture of the object to be measured, provide the shape and color of the object to be measured, so that the object to be measured can be displayed more intuitively on the display screen;
[0035] The rotating assembly includes a fourth rotating seat 34, the fourth rotating seat 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9, a worm 27 is rotatably connected to the fourth rotating seat 34, a worm wheel 26 is meshed on the worm 27, a second rotating rod 42 is fixedly connected to the worm wheel 26, a first rotating seat 28 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 42, the first rotating seat 28 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9, a first bevel gear 29 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 42, a second bevel gear 30 is meshed on the first bevel gear 29, a first rotating rod 31 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 30, a first rotating rod 31 is rotatably connected to the second rotating seat 32, a third rotating seat 33 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 31, the second rotating seat 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9, the third rotating seat 33 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 25, one end of the worm 27 passes through the heat sink 2 and extends to the outside of the heat sink 2, the worm 27 Rotatingly connected with the heat sink 2, in order to better digitize the measured object, the worm 27 can be rotated. The angles generated by the forward and reverse rotation of the worm 27 are different, and multi-angle measurement can be achieved. The rotation of the worm 27 will drive the worm wheel 26 to rotate, and the worm wheel 26 drives the second rotating rod 42 to rotate.

When the first laser rangefinder 22 and the second laser rangefinder 24 rotate, the angles of the measured object are different, and the data generated will also be different. The combination of more data will better digitize the measured object and realize the positioning measurement of the measured object.
[0036] By providing the limiting groove 36, the rotation angles of the first laser rangefinder 22 and the second laser rangefinder 24 can be limited so that they can perform measurements at reasonable angles;
[0037] After the measurement is completed, manual measurement can also be performed with the help of the tape measure 10 to determine whether the measurement results of the first laser rangefinder 22 and the second laser rangefinder 24 are correct.
[0038] Embodiment 2:
[0039] like Figure 9-10As shown, when other parts are the same as those of Example 1, the difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the heat dissipation box 2, and a heat dissipation net 3 is provided at the groove, and the heat dissipation net 3 is connected to the heat dissipation box 2 by screws;
[0040] The first laser rangefinder 22, the second laser rangefinder 24, and the camera 23 are all fixedly connected to the back thereof with a first heat sink 38, which is used to absorb the heat dissipated by the first laser rangefinder 22, the second laser rangefinder 24, and the camera 23 during operation. A plurality of first heat dissipation bosses 37 are fixedly connected to the first heat dissipation plate 38, and the plurality of first heat dissipation bosses 37 are installed according to the pre-specified indication lines 41, and the plurality of first heat dissipation bosses 37 are divided into a plurality of groups, and an air flow channel is formed between each group. Since the plurality of first heat dissipation bosses 37 are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the first heat dissipation plate 38, and an air flow channel is formed on the periphery of each first heat dissipation boss 37, the accumulated heat can be dispersed along the periphery of the heat dissipation boss, and the structure has a fast heat dissipation speed and a good heat dissipation effect;
[0041] The first heat dissipation boss 37 and the first heat dissipation plate 38 mentioned above can be replaced by the second heat dissipation plate 39 and the second heat dissipation boss 40, but the indicator line 41 on the second heat dissipation plate 39 is changed, and the straight-line installation is changed to the curved installation;
[0042] The plurality of first heat dissipation bosses 37 are arranged on a plurality of straight lines, which are radial lines passing through the center, and the plurality of straight first heat dissipation bosses 37 can be changed into a plurality of second heat dissipation bosses 40 evenly distributed or arranged along a plurality of curves, wherein the plurality of curves are arcs that bend from the center point toward the edge thereof. This structure is simple and reasonable, and the accumulated heat can be dispersed along the periphery of the heat dissipation bosses for heat dissipation;
[0043] The first heat dissipation boss 37 and the second heat dissipation boss 40 can be cylinders or cubes. Compared with traditional straight heat dissipation ribs, the heat dissipation circumference formed by the first heat dissipation boss 37 and the second heat dissipation boss 40 is the same as the area of the straight heat dissipation ribs, and has the same heat dissipation effect, while saving more than half of the materials, thereby reducing production costs.
[0044] Embodiment 3:
[0045] like Figure 4-5As shown, in the case where other parts are the same as those in Example 1, the difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that: the connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate 4, a plurality of connecting grooves 13 are provided on the connecting plate 4, a connecting box 5 is provided inside the connecting groove 13, a groove is provided on the connecting box 5, a slide plate 18 is slidably connected inside the connecting box 5, one side of the slide plate 18 is connected to the connecting box 5 through a second spring 19, and a tilting block 20 is fixedly connected to the other side of the slide plate 18, an extrusion groove 21 is provided on the tilting block 20, the tilting block 20 passes through the extrusion groove 21, and the connecting box 5 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation box 2;
[0046] Two fixed blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 4, and the fixed block 7 is located between the two connecting boxes 5. A mounting tube 15 is fixedly connected inside the fixed block 7, and the mounting tube 15 is T-shaped. Two hollow plates 17 are fixedly connected inside the mounting tube 15, and the two hollow plates 17 are fixedly connected to the first springs 16 on the opposite sides, and the two first springs 16 are fixedly connected to the piston column 14 on the opposite sides. The piston column 14 is slidably connected to the mounting tube 15, and a pressure rod 12 is provided on the top of the mounting tube 15, and the pressure rod 12 is slidably connected to the mounting tube 15. The bottom of the pressure rod 12 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 11, and the bottom of the piston plate 11 is slidably connected to the mounting tube 15. The space between the piston plate 11 and the piston column 14 in the mounting tube 15 is filled with flowing liquid, and the diameter of the piston column 14 is smaller than the diameter of the extrusion groove 21;
[0047] A connecting column 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the connecting plate 4, and the connecting column 6 is fixedly connected to the robot body 1;
[0048] When the heat sink 2 needs to be installed on the manipulator body 1, the four connection boxes 5 on the top of the heat sink 2 can be directly inserted into the connection slots 13 on the connection plate 4. Due to the limit of the connection plate 4, the tilting block 20 can be squeezed back into the connection box 5, so that the connection box 5 is inserted into the connection slot 13 intact, and at this time the tilting block 20 loses the limit and will return to the original position to play a limit role, thereby achieving installation;
[0049] When it is necessary to remove it, the pressure rod 12 can be pressed, so that the pressure rod 12 drives the piston plate 11 to squeeze the flowing liquid inside the mounting tube 15, and the flowing liquid squeezes the piston column 14, so that the piston column 14 pulls the first spring 16 out of the mounting tube 15 and plugs into the squeezing groove 21. As the piston column 14 is continuously moved out, the piston column 14 will continuously squeeze the tilting block 20, so that the tilting block 20 squeezes the second spring 19 back into the connection box 5. When the tilting block 20 returns to the connection box 5, the heat sink 2 can be pulled downward, so that the heat sink 2 together with the connection box 5 and the tilting block 20 are all moved downward;
[0050] After the tilting block 20 moves down to the inside of the connecting groove 13, the pressing rod 12 is released to restore the piston column 14 to its original state, and the heat sink 2 is continued to be pulled, so that the heat sink 2 can be effectively disassembled.
[0051] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
