[0026] The positioning base 1 is arrayed with slots, and a slot plate 22 is arranged in the slot positions. An adsorber 21 is arranged in the central area of the positioning base 1 for adsorbing and collecting waste chips in the slots. The clamping slide 27 on the positioning mechanism is slidably arranged on the slot plate 22. A fourth motor 23 is arranged at the bottom of the positioning base 1, and a fourth gear 24 is arranged on the output shaft of the fourth motor 23. And a fifth lead screw 25 is rotationally arrayed at the bottom of the positioning base 1. A fifth gear 26 is arranged at one end of the fifth lead screw 25, and the fifth gear 26 meshes with the fourth gear 24. The fifth lead screw 25 and the clamping slide 27 on the positioning mechanism form a screw pair. The positioning mechanism includes a first spring 30 connected between the sleeve 29 and the clamping slide 27. A slide bar 32 is arranged on the sleeve 29, and the slide bar 32 is slidably matched with the clamping slide 27.

[0027] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing shaft 35 telescopically arranged on the clamping slide 27. A second roller 34 is arranged at one end of the fixing shaft 35. And a second spring 36 is connected between the fixing shaft 35 and the clamping slide 27.

The second roller 34 moves from the inner arc surface to the outer arc surface, and the fixing shaft 35 telescopically moves.

[0028] Operating principle: The workpiece is placed on the positioning shaft 17. By the operation of the second motor 13, the second turntable 14 rotates. Under the connection action of the first connecting rod 15, the positioning slide 16 moves, and the workpiece can be supported and positioned. The position of the processing part 6 can be controlled by the pre-processing electric cylinder 4, and the processing motor 5 drives the processing part 6 to work, and the outer side of the workpiece can be ground, that is, the uneven planes and impurities are removed, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent clamping and centering. Specifically, by the operation of the first motor 7, the turntable 9 rotates, and the workpiece can be driven to perform a circular motion.

[0029] Further, by operating the tilting motor 2, the tilting frame 3 tilts, i.e., the workpiece tilts towards the positioning seat 1 and is located above the positioning seat 1. The movement of the workpiece is controlled by the connecting plate 11, i.e., the workpiece is located inside each positioning mechanism. By operating the fourth motor 23, the fourth gear disk 24 rotates, and then the fifth lead screw 25 rotates, causing each clamping slide 27 to move radially. The lower end surface of the workpiece is supported by the sleeve 29, and the circumferential surface of the workpiece is positioned by the clamping shaft 28. When machining the workpiece, if the waste chips fall on the positioning seat 1 and in the area where the trough plate 22 is located, they can be adsorbed and collected by the adsorber 21.

[0030] During disassembly and assembly, the tilting frame 3 tilts to transfer the workpiece from the positioning seat 1. To ensure the accuracy of centering and clamping, the surface of the clamping shaft 28 can be periodically inspected. That is, the clamping shaft 28 is in contact with the circumferential area of the workpiece. Surface defects on the clamping shaft 28 will affect the clamping centering effect. Specifically, by operating the third motor 18, the gear ring 20 is controlled to rotate. The tilting frame 3 first passes through the inner arc surface on the second contact part 2002. When the second roller 34 moves from the inner arc surface to the outer arc surface, the fixed shaft 35 moves telescopically, i.e., the fixed shaft 35 separates from the fixing hole on the slide rod 32, releasing the fixation of the sleeve 29. Then the first roller 31 moves on the inclined arc surface to move the sleeve 29. The contact rod 33 contacts the circumferential area of the clamping shaft 28 for clamping, and the contact rod 33 moves telescopically along the circumferential surface of the clamping shaft 28. That is, when surface defects such as pits and deformations occur, the telescopic displacement sensor outputs and feeds back the telescopic displacement signal of the contact rod 33 to judge the surface defect situation of the clamping shaft 28.

[0031] The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes starting from the above concepts without creative labor, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
