[0072] The first-level folding boom frames 2 are provided with two, and the bottom ends of the two first-level folding boom frames 2 are hinged on the chassis frame 1; the upper end of the first-level support arm 3 is hinged on the middle part of the first-level folding boom frame 2, and the bottom end is slidably and rotatably connected to the chassis frame 1; one end of the second-level folding arm frame 4 is rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two first-level folding boom frames 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pitch frame 10; the bottom end of the second-level support arm 5 is slidably and rotatably connected to the two first-level folding boom frames 2, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the second-level folding arm frame 4; One end of the pitch arm 6 is slidably and rotatably connected to the secondary folding arm frame 4, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lower connecting rod 7 and the upper connecting rod 8 respectively; the other end of the lower connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the pitch frame 10; the other end of the upper connecting rod 8 is rotatably connected to the secondary folding arm frame 4; the transverse frame 11 is fixedly installed on the pitch frame 10; the rotating platform 12 is fixedly installed on the transverse frame 11; the flexible platform 13 is fixedly installed on the rotating platform 12; the connecting tooling 14 is fixedly installed on the flexible platform 13.

[0073] Furthermore, a driving frame 1-2 is provided on the chassis frame 1, and a first push plate 1-21, a first screw rod 1-22, a first driving gear 1-23, a first reduction motor 1-24, and a first linear slide rail 1-25 are provided on the driving frame 1-2. The first push plate 1-21 is connected to the first screw rod 1-22 and is slidably installed on the first linear slide rail 1-25. The first screw rod 1-22 is connected to the first reduction motor 1-24 through the first driving gear 1-23. The bottom end of the first-level support arm 3 is hinged to the first push plate 1-21. When the first screw rod 1-22 moves, it drives the first push plate 1-21 to move, and then can drive the first-level support arm 3 to move horizontally.

[0074] The bottom end of the boom frame body 21 is hinged to the chassis frame 1 through a pin, and the top end is hinged to the secondary folding arm frame 4 through a pin. The second linear guide rail 22, the second reduction motor 23 and the second screw rod 25 are installed on the boom frame body 21, the second push plate 24 is slidably installed on the second linear guide rail 22 and connected to the second screw rod 25, the second reduction motor 23 is connected to the second screw rod 25, and the bottom end of the secondary support arm 5 is hinged to the second push plate 24. When the second screw rod 25 moves, it drives the second push plate 24 to move, and then can drive the secondary support arm 5 to move, thereby changing the angle between the secondary folding arm frame 4 and the primary folding boom frame 2, so as to achieve the purpose of extending or contracting the secondary folding arm frame 4.

[0075] The secondary folding arm frame 4 includes an arm frame body 41, a third screw rod 42, a third push plate 43, a third reduction motor 44, and a third linear slide rail 45. One end of the arm frame body 41 is hinged to the upper end of the boom frame body 21, and the other end is hinged to the pitch frame 10. The third screw rod 42, the third reduction motor 44 and the third linear slide rail 45 are installed on the arm frame body 41. The third screw rod 42 is connected to the third reduction motor 44. The third push plate 43 is connected to the third screw rod 42 and is slidably installed on the third linear slide rail 45. One end of the pitch support arm 6 is hinged to the third push plate 43. When the third screw rod 42 moves, it drives the third push plate 43 to move, and then drives the pitch support arm 6 to move, so that the lower connecting rod 7 and the upper connecting rod 8 can swing. Under the action of the lower connecting rod 7, the pitch frame 10 swings with the hinge point of the secondary folding arm frame 4 as the center.

[0076] When the angle between the first-level support arm 3 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the largest, the installation height of the equipment is the shortest; when the angle between the first-level support arm 3 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the smallest, the installation height of the equipment is the highest; by switching the angle adjustment between the first-level support arm 3 and the first-level folding boom frame 2, the installation height of the equipment is highly adjustable within a region; when the angle between the second-level support arm 5 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the largest, the angle between the second-level folding arm frame 4 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the largest, and the equipment is in the maximum expansion state; when the angle between the second-level support arm 5 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the smallest, the angle between the second-level folding arm frame 4 and the first-level folding boom frame 2 is the smallest, and the equipment is in the contracted state; thereby realizing the height adjustment of the vehicle body of the equipment to meet the usage requirements under different working conditions.

[0077] It should be noted that when the pitch arm 6 extends forward, the pitch frame 10 flips upward so that the rotating platform 12 and the connecting tooling 14 face upward; when the pitch arm 6 retracts, the pitch frame 10 flips downward so that the rotating platform 12 and the connecting tooling 14 face forward and downward.

[0078] Furthermore, the transverse frame 11 is provided with a primary linear guide rail 111, a fourth screw rod 117 and a fourth reduction motor 118.

The limit pin 115 adopts a reset structure and can be retractably fixed at both ends of the limit slot 116.

[0099] Step 1: Take out the horizontal tail: connect the connecting finger 144 to the upper wing surface suspension point of the horizontal tail, and control the composite movement of the primary folding arm frame 2 and the secondary folding arm frame 4 through the main control system 16 to realize the vertical lifting of the horizontal tail, and complete the removal of the horizontal tail from the tooling;

[0100] Step 2: Change the pallet: The taken out horizontal tail is controlled by the main control system 16 to make a composite movement of the primary folding boom frame 2 and the secondary folding arm frame 4 to realize the vertical descent of the horizontal tail, and is placed vertically on the tooling. The connecting finger 144 is removed, and the connecting finger 144 is connected to the suspension point of the lower wing surface of the horizontal tail.

[0101] Step 3: Install the main shaft: control the slewing platform 12 to rotate the horizontal tail through the main control system 16, so that the installation hole of the horizontal tail main shaft is flush with the end surface of the equipment, control the pitch arm 6 through the main control system 16 to realize the vertical flipping of the horizontal tail, control the composite movement of the primary folding boom frame 2 and the secondary folding arm frame 4 through the main control system 16, realize the vertical descent of the horizontal tail to meet the predetermined height of the main shaft, and install the main shaft;

[0102] Step 4: Spindle insertion: The main control system 16 controls the composite movement of the primary folding arm frame 2 and the secondary folding arm frame 4 to realize the vertical rise of the horizontal stabilizer. The main control system 16 controls the pitch arm 6 to realize the vertical flipping of the horizontal stabilizer to a predetermined height and angle. The servo mechanism then controls the horizontal movement of the transverse frame 11 to complete the spindle insertion; that is, the docking of the horizontal stabilizer is completed.
