[0035] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a double-lock quick-change connection device, including a front hook 1, a housing 11 and a multi-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism 12.

[0036] The shell 11 is a curved bottomless shell, and a rear hook is disposed at the bottom of each of the two side surfaces. The opening direction of the rear hook is opposite to that of the front hook 1 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the front hook 1 is fixedly connected to the slider 2 and moves on the slide rail 3 through the slider 2; the hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided with a piston rod and a cylinder sleeve, the cylinder sleeve is fixed to the outer shell 11, and the piston rod is connected to the front hook 1; the rear hook clamp 6 is connected to the rear hook clamp connecting rod 5, the rear hook clamp connecting rod 5 is connected to the front hook 1, and the rear hook clamp 6 rotates around the first pin shaft 7; the electromagnetic module 10 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer shell 11, and the electromagnetic clamp 8 rotates around the second pin shaft 9.

[0039] The slide rail 3 , the first pin shaft 7 and the second pin shaft 9 are fixed inside the housing 11 .

[0040] The housing 11 is fixedly connected to the attachment via the attachment front shaft 13 and the attachment rear shaft 14 below.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear hook clamp 6 does not interfere with the attachment rear shaft 14 when rotating around the first pin shaft 7, and can lock the rear hook and the attachment rear shaft 14 when rotating to a certain position; the electromagnetic clamp 8 does not interfere with the rear hook clamp 6 when rotating around the second pin shaft 9, and can simultaneously lock the front hook 1 and the attachment front shaft 13 as well as the rear hook and the attachment rear shaft 14 when rotating to a certain position; the rear hook clamp 6 and the electromagnetic clamp 8 lock the rear hook and the attachment rear shaft 14 respectively without interfering with each other; the locking contact position of the front hook 1 and the electromagnetic clamp 8 is an arc, and the center of the arc of the locking contact position of the front hook 1 does not coincide with the center of the second pin shaft 9; the locking contact position of the front hook 1 and the electromagnetic clamp 8 has a certain range, and the specific locking contact position is determined according to the center distance of the loaded working attachment, and within this range, the electromagnetic clamp 8 can simultaneously lock the front hook 1 and the rear hook.

[0042] The front hook 1 moves on the slide rail 3 under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the front hook 1 is hydraulically locked after reaching the locking position; the rear hook clamping plate connecting rod 5 moves with the front hook 1, so that the rear hook clamping plate 6 rotates around the first pin shaft 7, thereby realizing the primary mechanical locking of the rear hook; after the front hook 1 reaches the locking position, the electromagnetic module 10 loses power and releases the electromagnetic clamping plate 8, at this time, the electromagnetic clamping plate 8 rotates around the second pin shaft 9, realizing the mechanical locking of the front hook 1, and realizing the secondary mechanical locking of the rear hook.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the electromagnetic module is an electromagnet.

[0044] The utility model also proposes a double-lock quick-change connection system, which includes the above-mentioned double-lock quick-change connection device and accessories; the connection device is connected to the accessory through the shell 11, and the shell 11 is fixedly connected to the accessory through the lower front axle 13 and the rear axle 14 of the accessory.

[0046] The locking process of the multi-degree-of-freedom double-lock quick-change connection device is specifically as follows: the front hook 1 moves on the slide rail 3 under the action of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and after reaching the locking position, the front hook 1 and the front shaft 13 of the accessory are hydraulically locked; the rear hook clamp connecting rod 5 moves with the front hook 1, so that the rear hook clamp 6 rotates around the first pin shaft 7, thereby realizing a primary mechanical locking of the rear hook and the rear shaft 14 of the accessory; after the front hook 1 reaches the locking position, the electromagnetic module 10 loses power to release the electromagnetic clamp 8, and the electromagnetic clamp 8 rotates around the second pin shaft 9, thereby realizing the mechanical locking of the front hook 1 and the front shaft 13 of the accessory, and realizing the secondary mechanical locking of the rear hook and the rear shaft 14 of the accessory.

[0047] Step 3, unloading the attachment. First, flip the multi-degree-of-freedom double-lock quick-change connection device and the attachment, so that the electromagnetic clamping plate 8 contacts the electromagnetic module 10, and release the mechanical lock between the front hook 1 and the front shaft 13 of the attachment, and the secondary mechanical lock between the rear hook and the rear shaft 14 of the attachment. Then, slowly flip it back and place the attachment on the ground, and then retract the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 to release the hydraulic lock between the front hook 1 and the front shaft 13 of the attachment; the rear hook clamping plate connecting rod 5 moves with the front hook 1, so that the rear hook clamping plate 6 rotates around the first pin 7, and the primary mechanical lock between the rear hook and the rear shaft 14 of the attachment is released to achieve unloading of the attachment.
