[0039] The control method of the machine tool comprises the following steps: S1 configures the first moving body 11, the second moving body 21, the third moving body 31 and the fourth moving body 41 in groups at the control station 7, and initiates a processing instruction to the first sub-control component, the second sub-control component, the third sub-control component and the fourth sub-control component corresponding to each group; S2: after receiving the processing instruction, the first sub-control component, the second sub-control component, the third sub-control component and the fourth sub-control component confirm the movement direction, obtain the processing parameters and establish the follow-up relationship; wherein the processing parameters include the boring and milling station status, the material storage station status, the workpiece operation surface, the workpiece boring and milling size, the electric spindle 121 speed and the cutting speed; S3 The third moving body 31 and the fourth moving body 41 move into position, the lifting member 43 forces the workpiece to be processed on the stacking member 42 to rise to the feeding position, the robot arm 32 drives the internal clamping member 534 to move, and clamps the workpiece at the feeding position; S4 The second moving body 21 and the third moving body 31 move to their positions, the robot arm 32 drives the identification part 33 to move, and the identification scan is started.

Otherwise, the processing instructions are modified and S2 is repeated.
[0040] Example 2: Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , is a multi-station continuous bathroom product processing machine tool disclosed in the present invention. The difference from Example 1 is that the first moving body 11 is set as a Z-axis linear module 111.
[0041] The boring and milling part 12 includes an electric spindle 121 and a tool magazine 122 arranged in a group, and the electric spindle 121 and the tool magazine 122 are installed at the moving end of the Z-axis linear module 111. The moving path of the tool changing clamp of the tool magazine 122 passes through the tool storage positions of the electric spindle 121 and the tool magazine 122 in sequence. The electric spindle 121 is installed at the moving end of the Z-axis linear module 111 in a manner that the tool faces the workpiece on the external fixture 22.
[0042] The above structure realizes the function of fast tool change of the boring and milling part 12, and improves the processing efficiency.

[0043] The second movable body 21 is configured as a Y-axis linear module 211, an X-axis linear module 212 arranged at the movable end of the Y-axis linear module 211, and an X-axis rotation module 213 arranged at the movable end of the X-axis linear module 212. The external clamp 22 is installed on the output shaft of the X-axis rotation module 213 in a manner that the installation gap faces the tool on the electric spindle 121.
[0044] The external clamp 22 includes a guide slide 221 disposed on the output shaft of the X-axis rotation module 213, a fixed clamp 222 located in the center, and a sliding clamp 223 and a push cylinder 224 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed clamp 222. The fixed clamp 222 and the push cylinder 224 are respectively disposed on the guide slide 221, and the sliding clamp 223 is slidably connected to the guide slide 221 and is disposed on the piston rod of the push cylinder 224.

During the processing, the X-axis rotation module 213 can adjust the angle of the clamp according to the processing needs, while the Y-axis linear module 211 and the X-axis linear module 212 are responsible for moving the workpiece to the specified position. The guide slide 221 ensures the smooth movement of the sliding clamp 223. At the same time, the cooperation between the dovetail block 228 and the clamp block 229 of the fixed clamp 222 and the sliding clamp 223 enables the workpiece to be firmly fixed on the fixture during processing, reducing processing errors. In addition, the role of the push cylinder 224 is to provide the necessary clamping force to ensure that the workpiece will not be displaced due to the cutting force during the processing. The design of the entire fixture system not only improves the processing efficiency, but also improves the processing accuracy and repeated positioning accuracy, meeting the needs of continuous bathroom product processing machine tools for high precision and high efficiency.

[0051] The image acquisition and processor can capture the image information of the workpiece in real time, and determine the position and posture of the workpiece through algorithm analysis. After receiving the signal from the image acquisition and processor, the clamping cylinder 341 quickly adjusts the position of the movable clamp 344 to ensure accurate docking with the workpiece. The cooperation between the movable clamp 344 and the fixed clamp 342 allows the workpiece to remain stable when clamped, avoiding damage to the workpiece caused by uneven clamping force. In addition, the flexibility of the robot arm 32 makes the entire clamping process more efficient, and can adapt to workpieces of different sizes and shapes, meeting the diverse needs of continuous bathroom product processing machines.
