[0025] A disassembly method for a disassembly device for an adjustable turbine opening, comprising the following steps:

[0026] Step 1: Place the adjustable turbine to be disassembled on the fixture body of the movable clamping device. The cylinder pushes the fixture body to slide the positioning boss to the appropriate position to fix the lower shell of the adjustable turbine. The motor drives the movable chassis to move linearly along the sliding guide mechanism until the displacement sensor detects that the displacement value of the movable clamping device reaches the set value. The clamp fixing mechanism retracts to fix the movable clamping device to prevent shaking during disassembly.

[0027] Step 2: After the robotic arm and robotic hand of the six-axis robot are adjusted to the appropriate disassembly position, the screw disassembly module of the robotic hand disassembles the fixing bolts of the upper shell and transfers the bolts to the bolt collection box until the bolts are completely disassembled. The robotic hand is then adjusted to the magnetic suction module to attract the upper shell and separate it from the adjustable turbine. Then the robotic arm and robotic hand are adjusted to the appropriate position to place the upper shell on the clamping body in the middle.

[0028] Step 3: After the upper shell is fixed in place by the central clamp, the central movable base moves to the setting location, and the clamp fixing mechanism retracts to fix the central movable base.

The movement of the multi-stage cylinder is used to separate the rotating bearing from the upper housing, and then the rotating bearing is placed on the filter plate of the flushing mechanism.

[0030] Step 5: After the force sensor on the chassis detects that the force change of the movable clamping device has reached the set value, the clamping fixing mechanism releases the movable clamping device, and the movable clamping device moves towards the front of the chassis. When the displacement sensor detects that the displacement value of the movable clamping device has reached the set value, the motor of the movable clamping device stops working, and the cylinder pushes out to unlock the upper shell.

The movable clamp device moves the adjustable device to the rear of the chassis, and the clamp fixing mechanism fixes the movable clamp device.

[0032] Step 7: The gantry robot uses the bearing disassembly module to disassemble the outflow opening adjustment part and the bearing of the adjustable opening device in sequence, and moves them to the appropriate position of the flushing mechanism;

[0033] Step 8: The clamp fixing mechanism is unlocked, the movable clamp device in the middle moves to the front of the chassis, the six-axis robot moves the inflow opening adjustment device to the appropriate position of the flushing mechanism, the movable clamp device on the left moves to the rear of the chassis, the gantry robot switches to the pneumatic chuck module to clamp the impeller shaft to separate it from the lower housing, and moves it to the appropriate position of the flushing mechanism.

[0034] Step 9: The movable clamping device on the left moves to the front of the chassis, the cylinder pushes the clamping body to loosen the lower shell, and the magnetic suction module of the six-axis robot moves the lower shell to the appropriate position of the rinsing mechanism.

[0035] Step 10: The water injection equipment starts working, and the high-pressure nozzle shoots out high-pressure water to clean the disassembled parts, removing substances from the surface of the parts and waste oil from the adjustable turbine.

The magnetic suction module can prevent damage to the turbine components during disassembly, while the flushing mechanism washes away dirt on the turbine housing and residual oil inside. Both of these can improve the accuracy and completeness of turbine disassembly.

[0039] 3. This invention enables the six-axis robot and the gantry robot to work simultaneously without interference, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the disassembly device.
