Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heavy-duty truck longitudinal beam processing equipment, and in particular to a heavy-duty truck longitudinal beam rolling processing device and processing method. Background Technology
[0002] The longitudinal beams of a heavy-duty truck frame are a major component, and their quality has a significant impact on the frame and the overall vehicle quality. As the largest component of the frame, the longitudinal beams bear various impact loads and complex torques during truck operation; therefore, their strength is of paramount importance.
[0003] The cross-sectional dimensions (length x width x height) of the load-bearing longitudinal beams for heavy trucks are 8000mm–12000mm × 450mm × 130mm, with steel plate wall thicknesses ranging from 12mm to 20mm. Before assembly, they are slender and have poor stiffness. They only acquire load-bearing stiffness and strength after machining and assembly of multiple components. Individual longitudinal beams and assemblies are shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0004] The original processing equipment was a fixed-workpiece type that did not automatically rotate, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the traditional machining process for the longitudinal beams of heavy-duty trucks ranging from 5 to 12 meters involves horizontally hoisting them from the blank area and clamping them on the central worktable 001. The machining of the two narrow sides in the width direction of the workpiece is performed, and the curvature of the workpiece is checked. After completion, the workpiece is hoisted horizontally and transferred to the turnover area, where it is lowered into an inclined V-groove. With manual assistance, the workpiece 011 is uprighted, and the hoisting ropes are adjusted to maintain its upright position. It is then hoisted and transported to the central worktable for clamping and machining, achieving the machining of the two wide sides in the thickness direction. After machining, it is hoisted vertically again and transferred to the finished product area for cleaning, inspection, and stacking. Because the installation of the workpiece in both horizontal and vertical positions requires a unified reference standard, two sets of fixtures must be used: one for horizontal positioning (bottom surface) and a combined pressure plate clamping the workpiece horizontally onto the fixture body; and another for vertical positioning (right-angle bending plate fixture on the fixed worktable) and a combined pressure plate clamping the workpiece onto the right-angle bending plate. If a single machine tool is to complete all processes, it requires two different types of fixtures to be installed twice. Changing fixtures is labor-intensive and time-consuming. If two machines are used to install different fixtures for processing, they can respectively complete the processing of the two narrow sides in the width direction when the machine is laid flat and the two wide sides in the thickness direction when the machine is erected. Traditional machining processes involve discontinuous actions in each step and process, large working areas, long logistics routes, serious cross-operations between equipment, and excessive manual intervention or human involvement (such as hoisting, transporting, and flipping), which can easily lead to safety accidents. Moreover, production efficiency is low, and output can only be increased to meet market demand by increasing investment, expanding factory buildings, increasing personnel, and implementing multi-shift production.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1: This embodiment provides a heavy-duty truck longitudinal beam roll-over processing device, such as... Figures 4-20 As shown, it includes a first tumbling unit 100, a second tumbling unit 200, a support unit 300, a first three-axis machining center unit 400, and a second three-axis machining center unit 500.
[0024] The first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 are respectively positioned at both ends of the workpiece in the first direction x and can drive both ends of the workpiece to rotate at the same angle. The support unit 300 is positioned between the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 and can support the workpiece at different rotation angles. Multiple support units 300 can be provided, and the number of support units 300 can be selectively set according to the length of the workpiece being processed. Three support units 300 can be provided, which undertake the function of maintaining rigidity after changes in workpiece posture. The support position of the support unit 300 can be adjusted along the first direction x to match different workpiece fixtures and fully utilize the effective stroke.
[0025] The first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 are respectively positioned on both sides of the workpiece and can move along the first direction x to machine different positions on the workpiece. One unit of each of the first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 is provided, and each is responsible for the automatic machining of the corresponding side; it uses full CNC functions and programmed tool magazine exchange to complete the assigned machining operations. The first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the workpiece and have the same function. Both the first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 can use existing machining equipment.
[0026] In this embodiment, the control device uses three sets of CNC systems to control the actions, communicate and schedule with each other in real time, and can be started or stopped with one button at any position. The first tumbling unit 100, the second tumbling unit 200, and the support unit 300 are controlled by the same CNC system A, the first three-axis machining center unit 400 is controlled by CNC system B, and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 is controlled by CNC system C.
[0027] In this embodiment, the CNC automatic rolling (0°~360° arbitrary angle) posture conversion of the workpiece enables the processing of all processes on at least four sides of the heavy truck longitudinal beam. It can simultaneously process two sets of heavy truck bearing longitudinal beams (two symmetrical workpieces, 5-12 meters in length) using a single rolling power unit on this equipment, eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive problem of fixture replacement. The system programmatically completes all milling, drilling, boring, reaming, tapping, and other processes indicated on the drawings for the longitudinal beam, requiring nearly 30 cutting tools. A one-time investment in this device costs only 80% of the price of comparable market equipment, nearly doubles efficiency, reduces the number of operators by more than half, halves the floor space, reduces the labor intensity and skill requirements of operators, and improves safety performance.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, both the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 include a first base 11, a transmission power box 12, a drive assembly 13, and a clamp bracket 14. The transmission power box 12 is mounted on the first base 11, and the first base 11 supports and fixes the transmission power box 12. The clamp brackets 14 of the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 are arranged opposite to each other. The drive assembly 13 is connected to the transmission power box 12, and its power output end is connected to the clamp bracket 14. The transmission power box 12 is used to protect and support the drive assembly 13. The clamp bracket 14 is located on one side of the transmission power box 12 and is used to fix the end of the longitudinal beam. The clamp bracket 14 has a fixing part for mounting and fixing the longitudinal beam. This fixing part only needs to be able to connect the longitudinal beam to the clamp bracket 14. Different fixing parts can be provided according to different longitudinal beam shapes. The fixing part can fix the longitudinal beam by snap-fit or other methods.
[0029] The longitudinal beam rolling device in this embodiment connects and fixes the longitudinal beam by setting a first rolling unit 100 and a second rolling unit 200 at both ends of the longitudinal beam. The first rolling unit 100 and the second rolling unit 200 are coupled and synchronously controlled in terms of the rotation angle, while the power drive is implemented independently, which facilitates coupling matching and adjustment of the initial angle. When the drive assembly 13 drives the clamp bracket 14 to rotate, the two ends of the longitudinal beam can rotate at the same angle. Compared with the traditional method of rotation by hoisting, the rotation efficiency is higher and it is safer and more reliable.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly 13 includes a drive motor 131, a gear pair assembly 132, and a main shaft 133. The drive motor 131 is mounted on one side of the transmission power box 12, and its output shaft is connected to one end of the gear pair assembly 132. The other end of the gear pair assembly 132 is connected to the main shaft 133. The main shaft 133 extends out from the other side of the transmission power box 12 and is connected to the clamp bracket 14. Preferably, an angle detector is provided on the main shaft 133.
[0031] In this embodiment, the drive motor 131 transmits rotational torque to the spindle 133 through the gear pair assembly 132, achieving a roll angle of ±110°, a minimum set rotation angle of 0.001°, a roll speed of 3 revolutions per minute, and an indexing accuracy of no more than 10″. The roll acceleration and deceleration curve can be set to linear or bell-shaped mode to reduce the impact of rotation start and stop. If the workpiece is a standard square workpiece (such as a longitudinal beam), it can be machined on all four sides by simply rotating it 90°.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a first pull rod 134 is provided inside the main spindle 133. The first pull rod 134 is coaxially arranged with the main spindle 133, and its output end extends out of the main spindle 133 and has a limiting part 1341, which is connected to the fixture bracket 14. The first pull rod 134 can further strengthen the connection between itself and the fixture bracket 14, making the rotation of the fixture bracket 14 more stable.
[0033] Alternatively, a second tie rod 135 can be provided inside the main spindle 133. The second tie rod 135 is coaxially arranged with the main spindle 133, and its output end extends out of the main spindle 133 and is connected to a universal joint 137 for connecting with the workpiece. The input section of the second tie rod 135 is connected to the tensioning cylinder 136. In this embodiment, the tensioning cylinder 136 is connected to the universal joint 137 on the fixture bracket 14 through the second tie rod 135 at the center of the main spindle. The universal joint 137 is then connected to the workpiece. The tensioning cylinder 136 has a stroke of 200mm. When installing the workpiece, the tensioning cylinder is depressurized, and the plug-in universal joint 137 is manually pulled to connect with the workpiece. After checking the installation status at each point, the tensioning cylinder operates, increasing the tension of the longitudinal beam through the piston pulling force (pressure adjustable), thereby improving its rigidity.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting block 1331 is provided at the output end of the spindle 133. The mounting block 1331 can be a disc-shaped structure with a diameter larger than that of the spindle 133. The spindle 133 and the mounting block 1331 are integrally formed, providing a strong and stable connection. The mounting block 1331 is connected to the clamp bracket 14 by multiple bolts. Specifically, eight connecting holes are evenly arranged around the mounting block, and it is connected to the clamp bracket 14 by eight bolts. After the clamp bracket 14 is positioned on the mounting block, eight M20 screws and locating pins on the flange are tightened.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a limit bracket 17 is provided on one side of the top of the transmission power box 12, extending to the upper side of the clamp bracket 14. The limit bracket 17 can adjust the limit angle of the workpiece's allowable rollover, serving as a mechanical limiting device and an effective means of ensuring mechanical safety.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting pin 18 is provided on the side of the transmission power box 12 near the fixture bracket 14. The limiting pin 18 is located on the lower side of the main shaft 133, and a positioning hole is provided on the fixture bracket 14. The limiting pin 18 can extend out of the transmission power box 12 and be inserted into the positioning hole. The aforementioned limiting pin 18 can be an intelligent hydraulic pin, serving as a precise roll angle positioning mechanism, with stroke completion detection and pressure detection; the standard φ50mmx90° zero-point tapered pin module design has strong shear resistance and stable repeatability. Combined with the detected changes in the pin's entry and exit load, it intelligently manages and prompts the difference between the pre-roll angle and the theoretical angle, delaying the wear of the zero-point positioning mechanism.
[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting bracket 17 and the limiting pin 18 are used to limit and protect the large workpiece, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the rolling.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple sets of threaded holes 121 are provided on the top of the first base 11, arranged along the length of the first base 11. Each set of threaded holes has four holes in the width direction of the first base 11. The bottom of the transmission power box 12 is provided with connecting holes 111 corresponding to the threaded holes 121. The transmission power box 12 is connected to the threaded holes 121 by a connector passing through the connecting hole and the threaded hole 121. The connector can be a bolt, which is convenient for connection. The distance between two adjacent sets of threaded holes is 180mm, and the maximum distance can be manually adjusted to 1080mm.
[0039] In this embodiment, multiple sets of threaded holes 121 are arranged along the length of the first base 11, so that the transmission power box 12 and the fixture bracket 14 can move along the transmission power box 12 to match different workpiece fixtures and make full use of the effective stroke.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a transmission screw 191 and a screw motor 19 are provided on the upper side of the first base 11. The output end of the screw motor 19 is connected to the transmission screw 191, and the bottom of the transmission power box 12 is connected to the transmission screw 191. Specifically, the bottom of the transmission power box 12 is connected to the transmission screw 191 via a connecting seat 122 provided on the transmission screw 191.
[0041] The first base 11 is a supporting component for the transmission power box 12. A CNC linear motion U-axis is set between the two, driven by the lead screw motor 19 and the T-type self-locking lead screw pair. The effective stroke is 1000mm, which facilitates workpiece docking and adjustment and automatic workpiece release.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 both include a first base 11, a transmission power box 12, a drive assembly 13, a clamp bracket 14, a limiting bracket 17, and a limiting pin 18.
[0043] like Figures 6-10 As shown, a first pull rod 134 is provided inside the main shaft 133 of the first tumbling unit 100. The output end of the first pull rod 134 extends out of the main shaft 133 and is provided with a limiting part 1341 at its output end. The limiting part 1341 is connected to the clamp bracket 14. A plurality of threaded holes 121 are provided on the top of the first base 11 of the first tumbling unit 100. The plurality of threaded holes 121 are arranged along the length direction of the first base 11.
[0044] like Figures 11-14 As shown, a second tie rod 135 is provided inside the main shaft 133 of the second tumbling unit 200. The output end of the second tie rod 135 extends out of the main shaft 133 and is connected to a universal joint 137 for connecting with the workpiece. The input section of the second tie rod 135 is connected to the tensioning cylinder 136. A transmission screw 191 and a screw motor 19 are provided on the upper side of the first base 11 of the second tumbling unit 200. The output end of the screw motor 19 is connected to the transmission screw 191, and the bottom of the transmission power box 12 is connected to the transmission screw 191.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the support unit 300 includes a second base 322, a lifting mechanism, and a frame 325. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the second base 322, and the top end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the frame 325. The lifting mechanism can drive the frame 325 to move up and down relative to the second base 322. The frame 325 has an upward-facing placement slot 3253 in the middle. A first support mechanism 328 is provided at the top end of the frame 325, and a second support mechanism 329 is provided on the bottom surface of the placement slot 3253. A clamping mechanism 327 is provided on the frame 325, which can clamp the workpiece placed in the placement slot 3253.
[0046] The support unit 300 in this embodiment has three usage states. When the workpiece is in a 0° horizontal machining position, such as... Figure 18 As shown, the lifting mechanism moves the frame 325 upward relative to the base 322, and the workpiece is placed horizontally on the upper side of the frame 325 and horizontally supported by the first support mechanism 328; when the workpiece needs to be flipped, as... Figure 19 As shown, the lifting mechanism moves the frame 325 downward relative to the base 322. The workpiece is flipped by the flipping mechanism located on both sides of the longitudinal beam support device. The lifting mechanism lowers the frame 325 to avoid interfering with the workpiece's flipping action. When the workpiece is in a 90° vertical processing position, as... Figure 20As shown, the lifting mechanism moves the frame 325 upward relative to the base 322 and allows the workpiece to pass through the placement slot 3253. The second support mechanism 329 provides vertical support for the workpiece, and the clamping mechanism 327 clamps the workpiece from the left and right sides of the frame 325 to clamp and limit the workpiece, thereby increasing the workpiece's position retention capability.
[0047] The support unit 300 in this embodiment has multiple usage states compared to the traditional support workbench. It can effectively support and position the workpiece in different placement states, occupy little space, and has flexible and changeable usage states, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the workpiece, shortening the production cycle, and making the operation safer.
[0048] Preferably, the first support mechanism 328 includes a plurality of first adjustable screws, which are respectively disposed at the top ends of the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252. The second support mechanism 329 includes a plurality of second adjustable screws, which are disposed on the connecting part 3254. There are 2-4 first adjustable screws, which support the bottom of the workpiece, increasing the damping of the workpiece's vertical movement. That is, the upward cutting force (amplitude) cannot be overcome due to the large tension of the workpiece, while the downward bending deformation (amplitude) is hindered by the contact of the first adjustable screws with the workpiece, thereby avoiding vibration caused by the cutting force. There are 2-4 second adjustable screws.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 325 includes a left frame 3251 and a right frame 3252. The left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the frame 325, and the lower ends of the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252 are connected by a connecting part 3254. The placement slot 3253 is disposed between the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252 on the upper side of the connecting part 3254. The clamping mechanism 327 includes two transverse drive members 3272 and two hinged pressure plates 3271. The two transverse drive members 3272 are respectively disposed on the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252, and their output ends are arranged facing each other. The hinged pressure plates 3271 are connected to the output ends of the transverse drive members 3272. The transverse drive members 3272 can drive the hinged pressure plates 3271 to extend into the placement slot 3253. The hinged pressure plate 3271 is hinged to the output end of the transverse drive member 3272 to facilitate adjustment of the clamping direction of the hinged pressure plate 3271 on the workpiece. The hinged pressure plate 3271 has a crescent-shaped structure, with its arc-shaped middle hinged to the output end of the transverse drive member 3272. The transverse drive member 3272 is a hydraulic cylinder. Preferably, the placement groove 3253 gradually increases in width from its bottom end to its upper opening end to facilitate placement of the workpiece when it is placed vertically. The clamping mechanism 327 is located in the upper section of the placement groove 3253 to facilitate the transverse drive member 3272 to move laterally when the workpiece is placed in the placement groove 3253, thereby clamping the hinged pressure plate 3271 onto the workpiece.
[0050] In this embodiment, the frame 325 is provided with a left frame 3251 and a right frame 3252, and the placement slot 3253 is located between the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252. When the workpiece is placed in the placement slot 3253, the transverse drive members 3272 on the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252 can drive their respective hinged support plates 3271 to extend into the placement slot 3253 and clamp on the left and right sides of the workpiece, thereby clamping and fixing the workpiece.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the support unit 300 further includes a wedge mechanism 326. The wedge mechanism 326 includes a wedge block 3263 and a wedge groove 3264. A snap-fit plate 3262 is provided on the same side of both the left frame 3251 and the right frame 3252, forming a wedge groove 3264 between the two snap-fit plates 3262. The wedge block 3263 is connected to the second base 322 via a lifting drive component 3261. The wedge block 3263 is adapted to and embedded in the wedge groove 3264. The lifting drive component 3261 is a hydraulic cylinder. The lifting drive component 3261 can drive the wedge block 3263 to insert into the wedge groove 3264 to further support the frame 325, giving the frame 325 better stability and load-bearing capacity.
[0052] Preferably, the wedge block 3263 is trapezoidal, and the wedge groove 3264 is trapezoidal with an upper opening smaller than its lower opening, allowing the wedge block 3263 to be inserted into the wedge groove 3264 from the lower side. When the frame 325 rises, the vertical drive member 324 first raises the frame 325, and then the lifting drive member 3261 drives the trapezoidal wedge block 3263 to be inserted into the wedge groove 3264 from the lower side. The pressure on the wedge block 3263 gradually increases until the wedge block 3263 wedges the locking plates 3262 on both sides. When the frame 325 descends, the lifting drive member 3261 first drives the trapezoidal wedge block 3263 to move down and exit from the wedge groove 3264, and then the vertical drive member 324 drives the frame 325 to descend.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a vertical drive member 324 and two guide rods 323. The bottom end of the vertical drive member 324 is connected to the second base 322, and the top end of the vertical drive member 324 is connected to the connecting part 3254 on the frame 325. The two guide rods 323 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vertical drive member 324. The bottom end of the guide rod 323 is connected to the second base 322, and the upper end of the guide rod 323 is slidably connected to the left frame 3251 or the right frame 3252. The vertical drive member 324 is a hydraulic cylinder. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism drives the frame 325 to move up and down relative to the second base 322 through the vertical drive member 324. The two guide rods 323 act as guide wires between the second base 322 and the frame 325. When the vertical drive member 324 drives the frame 325 to move up and down, the frame 325 moves up and down along the guide rods 323, making the lifting movement of the frame 325 more stable and reliable.
[0054] The vertical drive component 324 and the two guide rods 323 are arranged on the same straight line. The lifting drive component 3261 is located in front of the vertical drive component 324. The straight line containing the lifting drive component 3261 and the vertical drive component 324 is perpendicular to the straight line containing the vertical drive component 324 and the two guide rods 323. A stable triangular support structure is formed between the vertical drive component 324, the guide rods 323, and the lifting drive component 3261, improving the stability and reliability of the lifting and moving of the frame 325. The wedge mechanism in this invention ensures that the lifting mechanism can self-lock and wedge together with the guide rods 323 to form an isosceles triangle, achieving stable support, regardless of its position.
[0055] Preferably, the second base 322 includes multiple vertically arranged support plates 3221, with support feet 3222 respectively provided on both sides of each support plate 3221. The multiple support plates 3221 are spaced apart, and the multiple support feet 3222 on the same side of each support plate 3221 are connected by a connecting base plate 3223. The support feet 3222 on both sides of each support plate 3221 provide good support stability. The span between two support feet 3222 on the same support plate 3221 is 900mm, and the stress height is no greater than 1600mm (overhang ratio ≤ 1:2), giving the longitudinal beam support device good support stability.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the heavy truck longitudinal beam rolling processing device provided in this embodiment further includes a ground rail 5. A guide groove 51 is provided on the upper side of the ground rail 5 along its length direction. An adjustable shim 6 is provided on the bottom side of the ground rail 5 and is fixedly connected to the foundation through the adjustable shim 6. The first rolling unit 100, the second rolling unit 200 and the support unit 300 are adjustable and connected to the guide groove 51.
[0057] Specifically, the bottom of the first base 11 of the first tumbling unit 100 is directly fixed to the foundation via multiple adjustable shims 6. The first base 11 of the second tumbling unit 200 is connected to the ground rail 5, and the first base 11 is adjustablely mounted on the guide groove 51. The two connecting base plates 3223 at the bottom of the support unit 300 are respectively connected to one of the ground rails 5. The connecting base plates 3223 and the ground rails 5 can be connected by screws, which facilitate adjustment of the connection position along the guide groove 51.
[0058] The guide groove 51 can be used to adjust the position of the base 1 in the length direction of the workpiece. The manually adjustable distance is no more than 6000mm, which can match the length of different workpieces and fixtures of 5 to 12 meters and make full use of the 12-meter CNC programming effective stroke.
[0059] This embodiment also provides a processing method for a heavy truck longitudinal beam rollover processing device, characterized by including the following steps: Workpieces are loaded and unloaded on the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200, and the positioning surfaces are cleaned. The initial position of the workpiece is horizontal. Both ends of the workpiece are connected and locked to the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 respectively. The support unit 300 is raised into position and wedged in place to support the horizontally positioned workpiece. The first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 move to their positions on both sides of the workpiece and then perform machining on it. After machining at this angle position is completed, the first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 move the workpiece back to the set position. The support unit 300 wedges apart and falls into place. The first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 synchronously drive the workpiece back. The workpiece is rotated 90° to an upright position; the support unit 300 bracket rises and wedges into place, while the two clamping mechanisms 327 clamp the workpiece on both sides; the first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 process the workpiece after moving to their positions on both sides; after processing at this angle position, the first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 return the workpiece to the set position; the clamping mechanisms 327 on both sides of the support unit 300 move in opposite directions, wedge apart, and the bracket falls into place; the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 synchronously drive the workpiece to rotate 90° in the opposite direction, so that the workpiece is in a horizontal position; the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 release the workpiece.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 are synchronously coupled and start / stop with a single button, ensuring that the two ends of the heavy truck's longitudinal beam rotate simultaneously without angular deviation. Multiple support units 300 are installed in the suspended portion of the workpiece between the left and right tumbling power units to ensure multi-point support, lifting, or clamping, thereby improving the system rigidity during workpiece processing. The first three-axis machining center unit 400 and the second three-axis machining center unit 500 each use separate CNC systems for control and adjustment, while the first tumbling unit 100 and the second tumbling unit 200 share a single CNC system for control and adjustment. A total of three CNC systems are used, and these three systems maintain interoperability through network interfaces and related communication protocols. Autonomous control software enables individual motion control, real-time communication between systems, safety interlocking, and remote one-button operation. The main control area is designed according to ergonomics and material handling principles, further reducing labor intensity.
