The first sliding spline shaft 474 is connected to the second hydraulic motor 475 to transmit power to the spline shaft, wherein the on-off control of the power of the second hydraulic motor 475 and the first sliding spline shaft 474 is realized by the clutch cylinder 476; the rotation of the disassembly part is supported by the driven gear 45, and the first hydraulic motor 42 drives the first driving gear 43 to drive the rotation of the driven gear 45, thereby realizing the screwing in and out of the end cover.

[0047] Combination Figure 7 As shown, the laser probe detection mechanism 5 is mounted above the front end cover removal mechanism 4. Figure 8 As shown, it includes a main detection bracket 51, a detection module 52, a Z-axis module 53, and an X-axis module 54; the main detection bracket 51 is fixed above the front end cover disassembly mechanism 4; the Z-axis module 53 is installed on both sides of the main detection bracket 51, and the X-axis module 54 is orthogonally connected to the Z-axis module 53; the detection module 52 includes a rotating cylinder 521, a probe bracket 522, a probe mechanism 523 and a detection head 524 connected in sequence; the detection head 524 is extended into the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder through the X-axis module 54 for detection, first detecting the front and rear positions of the cylinder body up and down, and then the probe mechanism 523 is driven to rotate 90° by the rotating cylinder 521, and then the front and rear positions of the cylinder body are detected to simulate the center axis of the cylinder body.

[0048] After the cylinder body is fixed in position by the cylinder body rear support adjustment mechanism 3, the main detection bracket 51 moves forward to approach the end face of the cylinder body, and the Z-axis module 53 and the X-axis module 54 are automatically adjusted to the appropriate size according to the inner diameter of the product. The two modules are orthogonally connected and closed-loop controlled by the servo motor and the grating ruler to achieve precise positioning. The detection head 524 is extended into the cylinder body on the left and right sides through the X-axis module 54 for detection. The front and rear positions of the cylinder body are detected first, and then the probe mechanism 523 is driven to rotate 90° by the rotating cylinder 521, and then the front and rear positions of the cylinder body are detected, so as to comprehensively simulate the center axis of the cylinder body.

[0050] like Fig.10 As shown, the piston rod positioning push-pull mechanism 7 includes a piston rod positioning push-pull base 71, a horizontal adjustment component 72, and a push-pull fixing component 73 from bottom to top; one end of the push-pull fixing component 73 is provided with a positioning detection mechanism 74, and the other end is provided with a push-pull mechanism positioning pin plug component 75; by inserting the piston rod into the push-pull fixing component 73, and fixing it through the push-pull mechanism positioning pin plug component 75, the piston rod positioning push-pull base 71 is driven to move on the machine base 1, so as to push the piston rod into or out of the cylinder. The horizontal adjustment component 72 is a cylinder that drives the entire push-pull fixing component 73 to move horizontally, and the push-pull fixing component 73 is automatically clamped according to the positioned piston rod, and is accurately fixed through the push-pull mechanism positioning pin plug component 75, and then the motor set at the bottom of the piston rod positioning push-pull mechanism 7 realizes the front and rear movement of the entire piston rod positioning push-pull base 71, so as to push the piston rod into or out of the cylinder.

[0054] Finally, the cylinder joints of the hydraulic cylinder are manually connected and a pressure test is carried out. After the test is completed, various clamping mechanisms are automatically released and the cylinder is lifted away.

[0055] The hydraulic cylinder disassembly process is as follows:

[0056] Similarly, the cylinder length, outer diameter and other parameters are input to automatically adjust the cylinder anti-rotation mechanism 2, the cylinder rear support adjustment mechanism 3, the piston rod centering positioning mechanism 6, the piston rod positioning push-pull mechanism 7 and other mechanisms to the appropriate positions.

[0057] Place the disassembled oil cylinder on the cylinder body rear support adjustment mechanism 3, which will automatically adjust to the center. Then, according to the cylinder body rear foot seat angle, rotate the clamp arm angle and clamp the cylinder body rear foot seat. After the end cover position is aligned by jogging the front cover removal mechanism 4, the front cover is automatically screwed out, which also has torque and position monitoring. Finally, move the piston rod positioning push-pull mechanism 7 and insert the positioning pin plug assembly. The piston rod is automatically pulled out, and the piston rod centering positioning mechanism 6 lifts and supports the piston rod. The relevant clamping mechanism is automatically released, and the cylinder body and piston rod are manually lifted away.
