The robotic arm module controls the tool clamping module to move between the tool holder 72 and the processing equipment.
[0043] The tool changing platform 6 includes a positioning plate 61, guide rails 62, and a drive rack 63. The positioning plate 61 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the tool changing platform 6, and the tool changing platform 6 is fixed to the top of the equipment gantry 41 via the positioning plate 61. The guide rails 62 are mounted on the side wall of the tool changing platform 6, with the upper and lower guide rails 62 slidingly engaging with the robotic arm module and the tool holder 72.

Each rotating device 31 has a locking part for engaging with the workpiece table 5, and the rotating device 31 drives the engaged workpiece table 5 to rotate.
[0048] The rotating device 31 includes a rotating table 32 and a first driving unit for driving the rotating table 32 to rotate. The rotating table 32 has a fifth rotation axis Z when rotating. The locking part includes a ball-type differential ring disposed on the rotating table 32. The workpiece stage 5 is provided with a sleeve for interlocking with the ball-type differential ring. The ball-type differential ring includes balls that can expand / contract, and the balls expand / contract under program control. The inner sidewall of the sleeve has a groove corresponding to the balls. A first positioning post is provided on one side of the ball-type differential ring, and a first positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning post is provided on the sleeve. The locking part also includes a plug-in post disposed on the rotating table 32 and a cylinder for driving the plug-in post to slide along its own axial direction. The axis of the plug-in post is parallel to the horizontal plane. The workpiece stage 5 is provided with slots corresponding to the insertion pins. Several second positioning pins are provided on the upper side of the lifting unit, and several second positioning holes corresponding to the second positioning pins are provided on the lower side of the workpiece stage 5. When the lifting unit raises the workpiece stage 5 to a height where it can engage with the corresponding engaging part, the insert sleeve engages with the ball-type differential ring. At this time, the ball is controlled to expand outwards, causing the ball to fall into the slot. The first positioning pin is positioned by being guided into the first positioning hole. The lower end of the first positioning pin has a chamfer to facilitate its insertion into the first positioning hole, ensuring accurate engagement between the ball-type differential ring and the insert sleeve. When the rotary table 32 engages with the workpiece stage 5, the cylinder drives the insertion pin to extend and insert into the slot. By engaging the insertion pin with the slot of the workpiece stage 5, the rotary table 32's ability to bear the weight of the workpiece stage 5 is enhanced.
[0049] The rotary table 32 is equipped with a guiding and positioning mechanism, which includes a first positioning block on the rotary table 32 and a second positioning block on the workpiece table 5. The first positioning block corresponds to the second positioning block. The first positioning block is provided with a first guide slope and a vertically placed roller, and the second positioning block is provided with a second guide slope corresponding to the first guide slope. The first driving unit includes a fourth motor 33, and the output end of the fourth motor 33 is connected to the rotary table 32.
[0050] The lifting unit includes a lifting platform 35 and a second drive unit for driving the lifting platform 35 to move up and down. The workpiece table 5 is placed on the upper side of the lifting platform 35. The second drive unit includes a workpiece mounting base, a scissor frame, and an electric cylinder. The scissor frame is connected between the lifting platform 35 and the workpiece mounting base. The electric cylinder is mounted on the workpiece mounting base, and its output end is connected to the scissor frame and drives the scissor frame to fold / unfold.
[0051] During the lifting of the workpiece stage 5, the rollers are guided and abutted against the second positioning block, so that the workpiece stage 5 is clamped and positioned between the rollers of the two rotating stages 32. The first drive unit includes a fourth motor 33, the output end of which is connected to the rotating stage 32, and the fourth motors 33 on the two equipment gantry frames 41 rotate synchronously. In this embodiment, the fourth motor 33 is a servo motor. When the scissor frame is unfolded, it drives the lifting platform 35 to rise. When the scissor frame is folded, it drives the lifting platform 35 to fall, making lifting and lowering convenient.
[0052] The horizontal conveying unit includes a slide rail 8 laid on the ground and a battery-powered conveying trolley 81 running along the slide rail 8. Multiple sets of five-axis machining robots 1 are arranged on both sides of the slide rail 8, each set capable of performing different machining operations. The wheels of the conveying trolley 81 are mounted on the slide rail 8 and roll. A workpiece mounting seat is located on the upper side of the conveying trolley 81, and the horizontal conveying unit transports the workpiece to the desired position.
[0053] During processing, the workpiece table 5 is placed above the lifting unit and positioned by engaging with the second positioning pin and the second positioning hole. The angle adjustment mechanism can automatically lift the workpiece table 5 to mid-air for rotational positioning, with a large rotation range, facilitating the rotation of the workpiece on the workpiece table 5 to the required tilt angle for processing. Before processing, the lifting unit raises the workpiece table 5 to a height that allows it to engage with the engaging part. The height of the workpiece table 5 during engagement is required to allow it to complete one full rotation. Then, the engaging part engages with the workpiece table 5. After engagement, the lifting unit lowers to the initial height, and the rotating device 31 rotates the workpiece table 5 to the required tilt angle for positioning, so that the five-axis machining robots 1, equipped with machining tools and located on both sides of the equipment gantry 41, can process the workpiece individually or in parallel with multiple robots.
[0054] During processing, the oscillating head assembly 19 is transported to the required processing position by the extension and retraction adjustment of the three adjustment devices. The extension and retraction of the three adjustment devices are calculated by the program. The three adjustment devices are installed on the three rotating frames respectively. The three rotating frames can rotate independently relative to the mounting table 11, which provides a high degree of processing freedom and facilitates the processing of complex workpieces.
[0055] After the workpiece is processed, the rotating device 31 drives the workpiece table 5 to rotate to the horizontal state before processing. The lifting part is then raised again to the height of the snap-fit, so that the second positioning pin is snapped into the second positioning hole for positioning. The snap-fit part is reset to the state before snap-fit. At this time, the lifting part drives the workpiece table 5 to descend to the preset height so that the processed workpiece can be picked up or transported away later.
