In the polar coordinate system of the present invention, the position of the power head 110 is determined by the height h, the polar radius r, and the polar angle A. The polar radius r represents the distance from a point to the origin, the polar angle A represents the angle between the point and the positive x-axis of the reference direction, and the height h is expressed as the height difference between the power head 110 and the upper surface of the rotary cantilever 200. Compared with the Cartesian coordinate system of the rectangular coordinate system, polar coordinates are more suitable for describing circular or symmetric figures centered at the origin, so they are more suitable for describing the processing environment applied in the present invention.

[0101] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0102] When starting a drilling process with the special drilling machine for dome-shaped structures, first start the console 140, and then control the rotary cantilever 200 by controlling the rotary drive table 300. Due to the characteristics of the servo motor 304 itself, precise control of the polar angle A can be achieved. Then, adjust the position of the drill body 100, reduce the polar radius r to create enough machining space, release the self-locking device 123, and raise the inner drill body 120 to change the height h until it is aligned with the machining position; then start the power head 110 and increase the polar radius r to achieve feed, and finally complete the drilling.

[0103] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
