[0069] Specifically, the propulsion action of the propulsion module 206 is mainly divided into three stages. The following is an example of the assembly of the L-shaped legs and the middle legs:

[0070] Phase 1: The fifth drive member 2064, i.e., the hydraulic motor, rotates, driving the mobile base 2061 forward along the rack linear guide 2070, thereby driving the L-shaped leg to insert into the middle leg, completing the first-stage insertion and starting the hydraulic pipeline assembly. The travel distance of the mobile base 2061 is preset and controlled by a rope encoder, or alternatively, by a laser rangefinder for distance measurement.

[0071] Phase 2: The sixth driving member 2065 pushes the fixed seat 2062 forward along the third linear guide rail 2067, driving the L-shaped legs to continue moving forward, and the L-shaped legs are basically inserted and fall on the middle legs.

[0072] The third stage: the seventh driving member 2066 drives the push rod 2063 forward to contact the L-shaped leg and completely install the L-shaped leg into the middle leg; thereby completing the pushing process, and the pushing stroke is controlled by the final pushing pressure.

[0073] In one embodiment, the automated assembly system further includes a control system configured to coordinately control the first lifting module 202, the second lifting module 203, the third lifting module 204, and the fourth lifting module 205 to lift or avoid the first leg during the first leg centering and movement phases; control the first centering module 101 to clamp or release the second leg to center it or release it, and control the second centering module 201 to clamp or release the first leg to center it or release it; and control the propulsion module 206 to move the first leg in a first direction to assemble it onto the second leg. Specifically, by configuring the control system, fully automated assembly of telescopic legs can be achieved, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0074] Specifically, the automated assembly system for the telescopic legs of this embodiment can also add a widthwise lateral movement mechanism at the fixed end or the jacking end, that is, on both sides of the support base 100, to achieve fine-tuning of the legs in the width direction, thereby resolving the problem of misalignment between the cavity centerline and the outer contour centerline due to welding deformation of the legs. Specifically, the automated assembly system for the telescopic legs of this embodiment can add a lifting mechanism at the jacking end, that is, the end corresponding to the propulsion module 206, and the power system can be replaced by a servo system, a hydraulic system, or a pneumatic system.

[0075] like Figure 20 As shown, based on the same concept as the aforementioned embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides a positioning and assembly device for a telescopic leg. For multi-stage telescopic legs, two or more sets of automated assembly systems for telescopic legs of the aforementioned embodiment can be provided, and the positioning systems of the multiple sets of telescopic legs are sequentially spaced along a first direction. For example, for a three-stage telescopic leg, two sets of automated assembly systems for telescopic legs can be arranged relative to each other, and an RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) can be added between the two sets of automated assembly systems for telescopic legs. When the automated assembly system of the first set of telescopic legs completes the assembly of the semi-assemblies of the inner leg and the middle leg, the RGV can automatically transfer the semi-assemblies of the inner leg and the middle leg to the jacking assembly of the automated assembly system of the second set of telescopic legs for centering. At this time, the fixing assembly of the automated assembly system of the second set of telescopic legs is used to fix and center the outer leg, thereby realizing the automated assembly of the three-stage telescopic leg.

[0076] like Figure 22As shown, based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for assembling a telescopic leg, which is implemented by the above-mentioned automated assembly system for telescopic legs, including the following steps: S11, placing the second leg on the fixing assembly 10, so that the first centering module 101 supports the second leg, and placing the first leg on the jacking assembly 20, so that the second centering module 201, the third lifting module 204 and the fourth lifting module 205 support the first leg, wherein a part of the telescopic oil cylinder is connected to the second leg; S12, controlling the first clamping part of the first centering module 101 to clamp the two sides of the side plate of the second leg to center the second leg, and controlling the second centering module 101 to clamp the two sides of the side plate of the second leg to center the second leg. The second clamping part of block 201 clamps both sides of the base plate of the first leg to center the first leg, thereby making the center line of the base plate of the first leg and the center line of the cavity of the second leg located on the same axis; S13, control the second centering module 201 to release the first leg; S14, control the propulsion module 206 to push the first leg to move toward the second leg along the first direction, so that the first leg partially enters the cavity of the second leg, and install accessories, which are mainly hydraulic accessories such as hydraulic pipelines; S15, control the propulsion module 206 to push the first leg to move toward the second leg along the first direction, so that the first leg completely enters the cavity of the second leg, and connects the second leg to the other part of the telescopic cylinder.

[0077] In one embodiment, steps S14 and S15 include: S141, controlling the second lifting module 203 and the fourth lifting module 205 to support the first leg; S142, controlling the propulsion module 206 to push the front end of the second leg into the cavity of the first leg; S143, controlling the first lifting module 202 and the fourth lifting module 205 to support the first leg; S144, controlling the propulsion module 206 to push the second leg gradually into the cavity of the first leg near the tail; S151, controlling the first lifting module 202 and the fourth lifting module 205 to detach from the first leg; S152, controlling the propulsion module 206 to push the second leg completely into the cavity of the first leg.

The assembly schemes of other "telescopic outrigger" schemes are similar.

[0079] 1) Hoist the inner leg (also called the final leg, or L-shaped leg) 103 onto the third lifting module 204 and the fourth lifting module 205 of the automated assembly system for a set of telescopic legs. Hoist the middle leg 102 onto the first centering module 101 and scan the code for model matching.

[0083] 5) Loosen the second clamping portion by 2 mm to allow a certain gap between the second clamping portion and the outer side of the bottom plate of the L-shaped leg. This ensures that the L-shaped leg 103 has a certain amount of movement along the second direction. This allows the L-shaped leg to have a certain degree of mobility during jacking and can be partially automatically guided.

[0084] 6) The fourth lifting module 205 close to the propulsion module 206 swings from the horizontal lifting state to the vertical disengaged state; the second lifting module swings upward from the vertical state to the horizontal state to support the L-shaped legs;

[0085] 7) The fifth driving member 2064, i.e., the hydraulic motor drives the mobile base 2061 to move forward along the rack linear guide 2070, driving the front end of the L-shaped leg 103 into the middle leg cavity, completing the first stage of insertion. The running distance is preset and controlled by the rope encoder;

[0086] 8) The first lifting module 202 is flipped to a vertical position, and the lifting height is adjusted so that the first guide wheel 2020 contacts the bottom of the L-shaped leg 103;

[0087] 9) The second lifting module 203 near the first lifting module 202 swings from the horizontal lifting state to the vertical disengaged state, creating space for the L-shaped legs 103 to move forward;

[0088] 10) The sixth driving member 2065 pushes the fixed seat 2062 forward along the third linear guide rail 2067, driving the L-shaped leg 103 to continue moving forward, inserting the L-shaped leg 103 into the middle leg 102 by approximately 50%. The specific running distance is preset and controlled by the rope encoder, completing the second stage of leg jacking.

[0089] 11) The sixth driving member 2065 drives the L-shaped leg 103 to continue moving forward, inserting the L-shaped leg 103 into the middle leg approximately 70%. The specific running distance is preset and controlled by the rope encoder.

[0090] 12) The first lifting module 202 descends to its initial position, disengaging the first guide wheel 2020 from the bottom of the L-shaped leg 103 and tilting the first lifting module 202 to a horizontal position;

[0091] 13) The fourth lifting module 205 swings from the horizontal lifting state to the vertical disengaged state;

[0092] 14) The seventh driving member 2066 drives the push rod 2063 forward to contact the L-shaped leg 103 and completely install the L-shaped leg 103 into the middle leg, completing the third stage of leg jacking. The pushing stroke is controlled by the final jacking pressure.

[0093] 15) Use the positioning pin 105 to fix the middle leg 102 and the telescopic cylinder 104, and assemble the L-shaped leg 103 and the middle leg 102 into a leg half assembly;

[0094] 16) Release the first clamping part of the first centering module, hoist the leg half assembly and the first-level leg 101 to the automated assembly system of another set of telescopic legs, and scan and match them;

[0095] 17) The automated assembly system of the previous set of telescopic legs returns to its initial position;

[0096] 16) Repeat steps 2-17 to secure the leg half assembly and the first-stage leg 101 with the fixing pin 106 to complete the assembly of the leg assembly 107 of the third-stage telescopic leg.

[0097] According to the above embodiments, it can be seen that the automated assembly system, assembly equipment and assembly method of the telescopic legs involved in the present invention can realize automatic centering of the legs at all levels through the cooperation of the first centering module, the second centering module, the first lifting module, the second lifting module, the third lifting module, the fourth lifting module and the propulsion module, effectively solve the problem of poor accuracy of manual visual inspection, paint damage to the legs and subsequent jamming of the legs due to ineffective centering, realize automatic assembly of the legs at all levels, greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers, eliminate the safety risks of single-point lifting and floating pushing, can be operated by one person, and work efficiency is greatly improved.
