The mounting frame 11 is a solid metal structure, which ensures the stable rotation of the second threaded screw 12. The internal rotation of the mounting frame 11 is connected to the second threaded screw 12. The precision machining of the second threaded screw 12 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the thread, thereby realizing the smooth movement of the second movable seat 13. The surface of the second threaded screw 12 is threadedly sleeved with the second movable seat 13. The second movable seat 13 can accurately move along the second threaded screw 12 through precise thread matching. The second movable seat 13 is movably connected to the mounting frame 11, and the lower end of the second movable seat 13 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 14.

The first rotating seat 26 allows the hydraulic cylinder 27 to rotate within a certain range to adapt to the adjustment requirements of the workbench 9. The upper end of the first rotating seat 26 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 27. The strong thrust of the hydraulic cylinder 27 enables the workbench 9 to smoothly adjust the angle. The upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 27 is fixedly connected to the second rotating seat 28. The upper end of the second rotating seat 28 is fixedly connected to the workbench 9. This connection method enables the workbench 9 to smoothly adjust the angle as the hydraulic cylinder 27 is extended or retracted.
[0032] Two limit rods 29 are fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 4. Limit grooves 30 adapted to the limit rods 29 are provided on both sides of the first movable seat 6. The limit rods 29 limit the movement range of the first movable seat 6 to ensure its stable movement in the X-axis direction. A first servo motor 31 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the fixed plates 4. The power end of the first servo motor 31 is fixedly connected to the first threaded screw 5. The first servo motor 31 is precisely controlled to drive the first threaded screw 5 to rotate. A second servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame 11.

A control panel 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod 2, and the control panel 34 integrates all operation buttons and display screens, so that the operator can easily control and monitor the entire calibration process.
[0033] When the present invention is used, firstly, the third servo motor 33 is started to drive the third threaded screw 23 to rotate and drive the connecting block 24 to move in the support rod 2, and the connecting block 24 drives the lifting block 21 and the second infrared rangefinder 22 to move on the surface of the fixed rod 20 until it moves to the working height of the industrial robot on the workbench 9, and the second infrared rangefinder 22 is started to illuminate the corresponding longitudinal axis rod 25 to calibrate the coordinates of the Z axis, and then the first servo motor 31 is started to drive the first threaded screw 5 to rotate and drive the first movable seat 6 to move along the X axis on the two limit rods 29, and at the same time, the second servo motor 32 is started to drive the second threaded screw 12 to rotate. Drive the second movable seat 13 to move along the Y axis, thereby changing the position of the calibration head 18 by moving the first movable seat 6 and the second movable seat 13, start the electric push rod 14 to drive the fixed block 15 and the calibration head 18 to move downward, start the first infrared rangefinder 19 under the fixed block 15 to measure the height of the calibration head 18 until the calibration head 18 reaches a suitable height. The position at this time is the first calibration point. When the calibration head 18 contacts the industrial robot, it will compress the buffer spring 17 and move inside the sleeve rod 16 to avoid damage. Repeat the above steps to locate other calibration points until the calibration of the industrial robot coordinate system is completed.
[0034] During the calibration process, the first infrared rangefinder 19 can collect the height data of the workbench 9, and then calculate the flatness of the workbench 9, and start several hydraulic cylinders 27 to push the workbench 9 and the support shaft 8 to change the angle in the support seat 7 until the workbench 9 is adjusted to a completely horizontal position.
