[0057] Specifically, when the length needs to be cut and spliced, two slides can be set as an example, with the front half of the vehicle placed on the first slide A3 and the back half of the vehicle placed on the second slide A4. The cut parts can also be placed on different slides according to the parts that need to be cut, so as to achieve multi-angle cutting and splicing of the vehicle.

[0058] In one embodiment, the sliding control unit includes a turntable and a ball screw feeding mechanism;

[0059] The turntable and ball screw feeding mechanism includes a first turntable A12, a first ball screw feeding unit, a second turntable A7 and a second ball screw feeding unit.

[0060] Specifically, the turntable is used to realize the rotational motion of the object, and the ball screw feed mechanism is a high-precision transmission component used to convert the rotational motion into linear motion, or convert the linear motion into rotational motion, thereby realizing the multi-angle motion of the slide.

[0061] In one embodiment, the first turntable A12 and the first ball screw feeding unit are disposed between the base A2 and the first slide A3 to control the movement of the first slide A3 on the base A2;

[0062] The second turntable A7 and the second ball screw feeding unit are arranged between the base A2 and the second slide A4 to control the movement of the second slide A4 on the base A2.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first slide platform A3 and the second slide platform A4 are provided with an adjustment unit, and the adjustment unit includes a plurality of threaded holes to adjust and fix various parts of the vehicle.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the slide and the base A2 are both provided with evenly distributed threaded holes, and the positioning pin seat A9 can be installed on the threaded holes as required. When facing different models, only the layout of the positioning pin seat A9 needs to be changed, and there is no need to change the clamp device.
