[0035] Step Six: Adjust the position and orientation of the first connecting surface 101 on the mounting platform 201 using the attitude adjustment mechanism 2, so that... , , , , , All values ​​are zero, completing the leveling and centering of heterogeneous test piece 1; the specific operation is as follows: The six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2 takes the deviation data measured by each camera, converted into platform pose, as input, and sends commands through the controller 11 to coordinately control the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2 to complete the leveling and centering operation of the heterogeneous test piece 1. The entire attitude adjustment and centering process is divided into three steps: a) Leveling ( , (Adjustment): The controller 11 converts the deviation into a rotation command for the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2, calculates the length change of each retractable outrigger 202 through inverse kinematics, and drives the mounting platform 201 to rotate around the X-axis and Z-axis until... =0、 =0 (error ≤ 0.05°); b) Axis alignment ( , Adjustment): Control the installation platform 201 to translate along the X and Z axes until the two axes coincide. , ≤0.05mm).

[0036] c) Align the threaded hole 5 ( Adjustment): Drive the heterogeneous test specimen 1 to rotate around the Y-axis via the coaxial rotation support assembly until... =0 (error ≤ 0.1°).

[0037] The rotational motion of the six-DOF attitude adjustment mechanism 2 can be described by the relationship between Euler angles and joint variables. For example... Figure 4 With the center of the moving platform as the origin of the coordinate system, X p Y p Z p Establish a moving platform coordinate system with the same orientation as the X, Y, and Z directions of the inertial coordinate system. Let the rotation matrix of the six-DOF attitude adjustment mechanism 2 be... Platform X p Y p Z p The rotation matrix formed by the rotational deviation of the direction can be expressed as:

[0038] in, For the installation platform 201 around X p The rotation angle of the shaft, For the installation platform 201 around Y p Axis rotation angle, For the installation platform 201 around Z p Axis rotation angle.

[0039] Based on the inverse kinematics solution of the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2, the length changes of each retractable leg 202 can be obtained. ( =1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and its calculation formula is derived based on the structural parameters of the platform (such as the coordinates of the upper and lower hinge points, etc.). First, the installation platform 201 is used to calculate the first... The hinge point of the retractable outrigger 202 The position vector in the moving coordinate system is transformed by the rotation matrix. Transformed into an inertial reference system, the position vector of the hinge point after transformation. In the formula, It is a rotation matrix; The position vector coordinates of the hinge point in the moving platform coordinate system; Let be the position vector coordinates of the origin of the moving platform's coordinate system in the inertial coordinate system, that is, the displacements of the six-free platform in the X, Y, and Z directions in the inertial coordinate system. Using spatial geometric relationships, the position vectors of the sixth platform (transport chassis 3) on the static platform can be easily expressed. The hinge point of the retractable outrigger 202 Hinges on the moving platform Given the position vector coordinates in their respective coordinate systems, and using the coordinate transformation formula given above, the hinge points in the moving platform can be calculated. Position vector coordinates in the inertial coordinate system Therefore, we can conclude that... The length vector of each retractable outrigger 202 The position vector expression in the reference coordinate system is as follows: In the formula Let be the position vector coordinates of the hinge point in the moving platform in the inertial coordinate system. The position vector coordinates of the hinge point in the static platform in the inertial coordinate system.

[0040] Obtain the target support leg After obtaining the expression, taking its modulus yields the length of the outrigger, as shown in the following formula.

[0041] The elongation of each of the six-degree-of-freedom outriggers is expressed as follows:

[0042] In the formula, For the target length of the outriggers, Initial length of the outrigger.

[0043] Specifically: Step a) Leveling ( , Adjustment process: The camera acquires the platform's attitude information in real time, and after data processing, outputs the rotational deviation in the X direction. Rotational deviation in the Z direction And transmit it to controller 11.

[0044] After receiving the deviation data, the controller 11 first determines whether the deviation is within the allowable error range. If it is within the error range, no adjustment is made; if it exceeds the error range, the controller 11 controls the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2 to perform rotational adjustments in the X and Z directions.

[0045] Since only the rotational deviations in the X and Z directions need to be adjusted, and Substituting the inverse kinematics formula of the six-DOF attitude adjustment mechanism 2, we can obtain the required length change of each telescopic outrigger. .

[0046] At this point, the pose of the installation platform 201 is:

[0047] At this point, the rotation matrix corresponding to the six degrees of freedom is: The controller 11 calculates... The controller sends control commands to each telescopic leg of the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2. These commands contain information about the required extension / retraction length of the telescopic legs. Upon receiving the commands, the telescopic legs extend and retract accordingly, causing the platform to rotate around the X and Z axes. During this movement, the camera continuously collects platform attitude data and feeds back new deviation data to the controller 11.

[0048] The controller 11 compares the new deviation data with the allowable error. If it still exceeds the error range, the process is repeated until... and Once adjusted to within the allowable error range, the automatic leveling process is complete.

[0049] Step b) Axis alignment ( , Adjustment process: After automatic leveling is completed, the camera begins to acquire the position information of the heterogeneous flange in the X and Z directions, and the offset in the X direction is obtained after processing. offset in the Z direction And send it to controller 11.

[0050] The controller 11 receives the offset data and determines whether it is within the allowable error range. If it is within the range, no adjustment is made; if it is outside the range, the controller controls the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2 to perform axis offset adjustment.

[0051] Will and and platform structure parameters , Substitute the values ​​into the formula to calculate the length change required for each telescopic outrigger to eliminate the offset. At this point, the rotation matrix for the six degrees of freedom is 0, and the platform pose is... .

[0052] By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic outriggers of the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 2, the mounting platform 201 is translated in the X and Z directions. During the translation, the camera monitors the platform position in real time and feeds back the new offset data to the controller 11. The controller 11 continuously compares the new data with the allowable error. If the requirement is not met, it continues to adjust the extension and retraction of the telescopic outriggers until... and Within the allowable error range, the main axis of the heterogeneous flange is automatically aligned.

[0053] Step c) Align the threaded hole 5 ( Adjustment process: After completing automatic leveling and main axis alignment, the next step is to align the threaded hole 5 of the heterogeneous test piece 1 by rotating it in the Y direction. The axial position of the threaded hole 5 is captured by a camera, and the rotational deviation in the Y-axis direction is obtained after processing. We determine whether it is within the allowable error range. If it is outside the range, we control the coaxial rotating support assembly to rotate, thereby aligning the threaded hole 5 axis of the heterogeneous test piece 1.

[0054] Similarly, when the coaxial rotary support assembly is adjusted in the Y direction, the camera continuously monitors the alignment of the threaded hole 5 in real time, constantly adjusting the new alignment. Feedback is sent to controller 11, and controller 11, based on the feedback... Determine if the threaded hole 5 axis is aligned. If not, continue sending adjustment commands until the threaded hole 5 axis is aligned. Within the allowable error range.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
