[0027] In this embodiment, eight workstations are provided on the workstation turntable 1, but for simplicity of view, only one set of contact adjustment components 3 is provided. In actual application, multiple sets of contact adjustment components 3 can be provided as required to accommodate WTC switches 4 of different specifications.
[0028] During use, the WTC switch 4 is transported to one side of the workstation turntable 1 by the conveying structure of the upstream production line and placed on the entry station of the workstation turntable 1 by a robotic arm. The workstation turntable 1 rotates to an angle corresponding to a station, and drives the WTC switch 4 to the station corresponding to the torque detection and adjustment component 2. The torque of the knob of the WTC switch 4 is detected and adjusted by the torque detection and adjustment component 2. At the same time, the robotic arm places another WTC switch 4 on the entry station.
[0029] The pressing cylinder 34 of the torque detection and adjustment component 2 starts to drive the pressing plate 33 to rotate and press the WTC switch 4 onto the workstation turntable 1. The lifting cylinder 11 starts to drive the first torsion motor 8 to rise to the gripper 14 and the knob for transmission connection. The adjustment cylinder 17 starts to drive the adjustment seat 16 down to the bolt cutter head 20 and the adjustment bolt of the WTC switch 4 knob for transmission connection. At this time, the first torsion motor 8 starts and turns the knob. At the same time, the torque detection sensor 13 detects the torque data and transmits the data to the control system. The control system determines whether to loosen or tighten based on the comparison between the actual data and the standard data. Adjust the bolt, and then control the driving cylinder 19 to drive the first screwing motor 18 down to be connected with the bolt cutter head 20. The first screwing motor 18 starts and loosens or tightens the adjusting bolt through the bolt cutter head 20, and then drives the cylinder 19 to reset. The first twisting motor 8 starts again and cooperates with the torque detection sensor 13 to detect the torque of the knob again. If the torque meets the standard, the lifting cylinder 11 is reset. If the torque does not meet the standard, the adjusting bolt is adjusted again until it meets the standard. All cylinders of the torque detection and adjustment assembly 2 are reset and wait for the next adjustment of the WTC switch 4.
[0030] The workstation turntable 1 rotates again and drives the WTC switch 4 with adjusted torque to the workstation corresponding to the contact adjustment assembly 3. The pressing cylinder 34 of the contact adjustment assembly 3 starts to drive the pressing plate 33 to rotate and press the WTC switch 4 onto the workstation turntable 1. The upper and lower cylinders 24 drive the lifting seat 23 to descend until the bolt cutter head 20 of the second screwing motor 25 is connected with the adjustment bolt of the WTC switch 4 contact. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 26 starts and drives the contact plate 27 to descend to connect with the wiring contact 28 and the wiring point of the WTC switch 4. The jacking cylinder 32 starts and drives the jacking movable seat 30 to rise until the gripper 14 is connected with the knob of the WTC switch 4. The second torsion motor 31 starts to twist the knob to the on position. Then the second screwing motor 25 starts to twist the adjustment bolt of the WTC switch 4 contact until the line detection equipment detects that it is connected. Then the second torsion motor 31 reverses to drive the knob to reset. All cylinders of the contact adjustment assembly 3 are reset and wait for the next adjustment of the WTC switch 4. If the WTC switch 4 to be adjusted has multiple contacts that need to be adjusted, multiple sets of contact adjustment components 3 can be provided, and the station turntable 1 drives the WTC switch 4 through different stations in sequence to complete all adjustments.
