[0045] The assembly of this invention includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the positioning platform 5 is first lifted to a position level with the ground 701 by the lifting platform 805, and then the AGV trolley 6, together with the positioning support frame 2, moves onto the positioning platform 5.

During this process, the floating platform 4 can be adjusted to eliminate errors in time and ensure that the positioning pin sleeves 202 and the corresponding positioning pin shafts 501 are precisely connected.

[0048] Step 3: The docking lifting mechanism 3 continues to descend, causing the floating platform 4 to detach from the positioning support frame 2. Then, the AGV trolley 6, together with the docking lifting mechanism 3, exits the positioning support frame 2.

Figure 3 As shown, the positioning support plate 203 is disposed between two bearing limiting blocks 4031 to limit displacement.

[0066] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] After the AGV trolley 6 moves the positioning support frame 2 to the positioning platform 5, the operator first releases the bolt fixing connection between the floating platform 4 and the positioning support frame 2, and then the lifting mechanism 3 drives the positioning support frame 2 to descend. During the descent, the operator can fine-tune the position of the positioning support frame 2 at any time according to the alignment of the positioning pin sleeve 202 with the corresponding positioning pin shaft 501 on the positioning platform 5 through the floating platform 4. Figure 9 As shown, the load-bearing adjustment plate 403 on the floating platform 4 is supported by rolling ball bearings 404 on the upper end plate 402 of the frame. This allows the operator to manually adjust the position of the load-bearing adjustment plate 403 after the locking pin 405 is pulled out. The adjustment range of the load-bearing adjustment plate 403 is limited to the area enclosed by the various limiting plates 4021. A load-bearing limiting block 4031 is provided on the upper side of the load-bearing adjustment plate 403, and the positioning support plate 203 is located between two load-bearing limiting blocks 4031. Thus, fine-tuning the load-bearing adjustment plate 403 will cause fine-tuning of the positioning support plate 203. This embodiment allows the load-bearing adjustment plate 403 to move up to 30mm in the horizontal X or Y direction and rotate up to 4° around the vertical Z direction.

[0068] Example 2:

[0069] like Figures 11-13As shown, in this embodiment, the floating platform 4 can also adopt an automatic adjustment method. The floating platform 4 includes a platform frame 401, which is also mounted on the lifting plate 301 of the docking lifting mechanism 3. The upper end of the platform frame 401 is provided with an upper end plate 402, and the upper side of the upper end plate 402 is provided with an X-axis adjustment mechanism 406 and an X-axis sliding plate 407 driven to move by the X-axis adjustment mechanism 406. The upper side of the X-axis sliding plate 407 is provided with a Y-axis adjustment mechanism 408 and a Y-axis sliding plate 407 driven to move by the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 406. The adjustment mechanism 408 drives the Y-axis sliding plate 409 to move. The upper side of the Y-axis sliding plate 409 is provided with a rotating mechanism 410 and a load-bearing adjustment plate 403 driven to rotate by the rotating mechanism 410. The positioning support plate 203 at the upper end of the positioning support frame 2 is located on the load-bearing adjustment plate 403. In this embodiment, a maximum movement of 30mm in the horizontal X or Y direction and a maximum rotation adjustment of 4° around the vertical Z direction can also be achieved. However, all of these adjustments are achieved automatically through the X-axis adjustment mechanism 406, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 408, and the rotating mechanism 410.

The X-axis nut 4063 is provided with an X-axis connecting seat 4064 fixedly connected to the X-axis sliding plate 407. Rotation of the X-axis lead screw 4062 drives the X-axis nut 4063 to move, thereby driving the X-axis sliding plate 407 to move. Additionally, X-axis slide rails 4065 are provided on both sides of the upper end plate 402 of the frame, and X-axis sliders 4066 are provided on both sides of the X-axis sliding plate 407, respectively cooperating with the corresponding X-axis slide rails 4065, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the X-axis sliding plate 407 and the upper end plate 402 of the frame.

[0071] like Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 408 includes a Y-axis lead screw 4083 driven to rotate by a Y-axis drive assembly and a Y-axis nut 4084 fitted on the Y-axis lead screw 4083. The Y-axis nut 4084 is provided with a Y-axis connecting seat 4085, and the Y-axis connecting seat 4085 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis sliding plate 409. Rotation of the Y-axis lead screw 4083 drives the Y-axis nut 4084 to move, thereby driving the Y-axis sliding plate 409 to move. Additionally, the X-axis sliding plate 407 has Y-axis slide rails 4086 on both sides, and the Y-axis sliding plate 409 has Y-axis sliders 4087 on both sides that respectively cooperate with the corresponding Y-axis slide rails 4086, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the Y-axis sliding plate 409 and the X-axis sliding plate 407.

[0072] like Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment, the Y-direction driving assembly comprises a Y-direction motor 4081 and a right-angle transmission box 4082, the Y-direction motor 4081 drives the Y-direction lead screw 4083 to rotate through torque transmission of the right-angle transmission box 4082, and the Y-direction lead screw 4083 is connected with the Y-direction sliding plate 4084. Figure 10 As shown, the right-angle transmission box 4082 can avoid collision and interference with the positioning legs 201 caused by the rear end of the Y-direction motor 4081 extending out. The right-angle transmission box 4082 is a publicly known technology and a commercially available product.

[0073] As shown, Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 410 comprises a rotating adjusting motor 4101, a worm 4102 and a worm wheel 4103, the worm 4102 is engaged with one side of the worm wheel 4103 and is driven to rotate by the rotating adjusting motor 4101, the worm wheel 4103 is fixedly connected with the bearing adjusting plate 403, and the rotation of the worm 4102 drives the rotation of the worm wheel 4103, thereby driving the bearing adjusting plate 403 to rotate and adjust the angle.

[0074] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0075] This embodiment can control the fine adjustment of the position of the positioning support frame 2 through the operation screen 3012 to ensure the alignment of the positioning pin sleeve 202 with the corresponding positioning pin shaft 501 on the positioning table 5, which further facilitates operation. In addition, this embodiment mainly considers the flexible docking problem between the core machine 1 after completing assembly and the auxiliary equipment of the next assembly station, and therefore can further improve the automation level of the entire assembly production line.
