The fixed feet at both ends of the scissor-type bracket 3 are respectively connected to the base plate 1 and the support platform 2, and the movable feet at both ends of the scissor-type bracket 3 are respectively slidably connected to the base plate 1 and the support platform 2, and the movable feet of the scissor-type bracket 3 are connected, and the drive assembly A4 drives the connection of the movable feet of the scissor-type bracket 3. The drive assembly A4 includes a hydraulic cylinder A41 and a slider 42. The movable feet of the scissor-type bracket 3 are connected to the slider 42, and the hydraulic cylinder A41 drives the connection of the slider 42. The limit assembly is connected to the lifting drive mechanism to protect the support platform 2 from falling by being connected to the bottom plate 1 after the height of the support platform 2 is adjusted. The limit assembly includes a movable plate 43, a latch 44 and a hydraulic cylinder B45. A plurality of limit grooves 102 are arranged on the bottom plate 1 along the sliding track of the slider 42. The movable plate 43 is slidably connected to the slider 42, and the movable plate 43 is connected to the latch 44. The hydraulic cylinder B45 is connected to the slider 42 and drives the movable plate 43 to rise and fall, so as to drive the latch 44 to be inserted into or pulled out of the corresponding side limit groove 102. The slide seats 9 on both sides are symmetrical with respect to the support platform 2. A telescopic rod 10 is arranged on the slide seat 9. The telescopic rod 10 includes an outer tube and an inner rod. The inner rod is connected to the mounting seat 12. The inner rod is slidably connected to the outer tube. A driving assembly B11 for driving the inner rod to rise and fall is arranged in the outer tube. The mounting seat 12 is connected to the mechanical arm 13, and the mechanical arm 13 is connected to the quick-change tool connector 14. A telescopic rod 10 is arranged on the slide 9, and the telescopic rod 10 includes an outer tube and an inner rod. The mounting seat 12 is fixedly connected to the inner rod, and the inner rod is slidably connected to the outer tube. A driving component B11 for driving the inner rod to rise and fall is arranged in the outer tube.

The control component includes a controller and a display component, and the display component is electrically connected to the controller, and the display component includes a display 15. The controller is connected to each hydraulic cylinder and the mechanical arm 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, before making the clay model, components made of foamed plastic and steel plate are first placed on the support platform 2, and the components are adjusted to be in a central position on the support platform 2, and then the clay model is applied. After the clay model is applied, the laser scanner is connected to the quick-change tool joint 14, and the laser scanner scans and moves under the drive of the linear module 8 and the mechanical arm 13, and the model is scanned as a whole. Since the bottom of the model and the entire wheel need to be scanned, the hydraulic cylinder A4 is started at this time, and the hydraulic cylinder A4 drives the scissor-type bracket 3 to move, and the height of the support platform 2 is adjusted by changing the connecting rod angle of the scissor-type bracket 3, so that the clay model is lifted to a certain height from the ground. After the height of the support platform 2 is adjusted, the hydraulic cylinder B45 presses down the movable plate 43 so that the pin 44 is inserted into the corresponding limit groove 102, so as to limit the scissor-type bracket 3 through the limiting action of the pin 44 and the limit groove 102, so as to prevent the hydraulic cylinder B45 from losing its strength and retracting due to excessive load on the support platform 2, thereby effectively protecting the clay model. The laser scanner scans the appearance of the model and transmits the three-dimensional information of the entire model back to the controller. After data conversion, the controller compares the scanned model with the original design model to determine the parts of the model that need to be improved, and plugs the cutting head into the quick-change tool connector 14. The engineer starts the linear module 8 and the robot arm 13 according to the set model to adjust the cutting position and angle of the cutting head. The two sets of cutting heads work synchronously to ensure the symmetry of the construction process.

[0028] In this embodiment, during the production process, the clay model is prone to move horizontally on the support platform 2, resulting in it being not centered on the support platform 2. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder C7 can be started, and the hydraulic cylinder C7 pulls down the support plate 6. After the support plate 6 is pulled down, the support structure of the entire clay model falls on the support roller 5. At this time, the staff can easily push the clay model, and after adjusting the clay model to the center, the support plate 6 is pushed up to support and limit the chassis of the clay model. This structure facilitates improving the accuracy and symmetry of tool processing.

[0029] The implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
