[0069] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 12-13 As shown, a rotating mechanism is installed at the bottom of the No. 1 installation platform 2. The rotating mechanism can drive the No. 1 installation platform 2 to rotate. The rotating mechanism includes a base 1 and a No. 1 power component 3. The No. 1 power component 3 is installed at the center of the bottom of the base 1 by bolts. The output shaft of the No. 1 power component 3 can pass through the base 1 and is located above the base 1. A No. 1 reducer 4 is installed on the output shaft of the No. 1 power component 3 by bolts. The No. 1 reducer 4 is installed at the bottom of the No. 1 installation platform 2 by bolts. The No. 1 power component 3 can drive the No. 1 installation platform 2 to rotate. Due to the setting of the rotating mechanism, the installation position of the axle and parts, as well as the unloading position, are fixed. During the loading and unloading process, the operator does not need to walk back and forth. He only needs to load and unload parts in a fixed position, which reduces the labor intensity of the operator and makes the on-site loading and unloading position layout more reasonable.
[0070] The specific usage process includes the following steps:
[0071] Step 1: Adjust the position of the support part so that it is located at the center of the axle 49. Specifically, slide the base plate 24 on the first slide rail 8 and slide the support plate 27 to the center of the axle 49. Then, with the help of the pin, let the pin pass through the third positioning hole 29 and the first positioning hole 10 in sequence to fix the support part on the positioning plate 9. Start the third drive component 26. The third drive component 26 drives the support plate 27 to move towards the side closer to the axle 49 so that the support plate 27 contacts the bottom of the axle 49, providing support for the axle 49 during the installation process.
[0072] Step two: first install the axle 49 on the positioning unit, specifically, through the first driving piece 13 drive the chuck 16 on the jaw move, the left end of the axle 49 is clamped on the chuck 16, the support base 17 is pushed to the side close to the axle 49, so that the support base 17 moves on the first slide rail 8, the top tight part is moved to the pre-set position, and then the pin is used to make the pin pass through the second positioning hole 23 and the first positioning hole 10 in turn, so that the support base 17 is fixed on the positioning plate 9, preventing the support base 17 from moving, and then the second driving piece 21 drives the extension shaft of the pneumatic tailstock 20 to elongate, so as to drive the center 22 to move to the side close to the axle 49, and the right end of the axle 49 is abutted by the center 22; after the installation of the axle 49 is completed, the third driving piece 26 drives the support plate 27 to move away from the axle 49;
[0073] Step three: install the parts on each part placing part in turn, specifically, the magnets on the clamping block 47 are used to attract the parts on the clamping block 47;
[0074] Step four, adjust the position of the axle 49, specifically, start the second power piece 12, the second power piece 12 drives the chuck 16 to rotate, so as to drive the axle 49 to rotate, and the axle 49 is rotated to the pre-set angle, the second installation platform 7 is driven by the screw pair assembly 33 to move left and right in the horizontal direction, and the second installation platform 7 drives the axle 49 to move synchronously, so as to move the axle 49 to the pre-set position.
[0075] Step five: rotate the first installation platform 2, when the axle 49 and the parts are installed, start the first power piece 3, the first power piece 3 drives the first installation platform 2 to rotate, and the first installation platform 2 is rotated by 180°;
[0076] Step six: after the first installation platform 2 is rotated in place, the parts are placed on the axle 49 and welded, specifically, the fourth driving piece 37 is started, the output shaft of the fourth driving piece 37 is elongated, the parts clamped on the clamping block 47 are moved to the side close to the axle 49, the parts are placed on the axle 49, the welding gun 6 is moved to the pre-set position by the mechanical arm 5, the parts are welded, after the welding is completed, the output shaft of the fourth driving piece 37 is retracted, the clamping block 47 is moved away from the axle 49, the clamping block 47 is separated from the parts, and the welding gun 6 is moved away;
[0077] Step seven: when the next part needs to be welded, repeat step four and step six, at the same time, in the process of welding, install the parts and the axle 49 on the other positioning mechanism, in order to prevent the arc light generated by welding from causing adverse effects on the operator's vision, start the No. 5 drive 36 on the installation side positioning mechanism, the No. 5 drive 36 drives the folding soft curtain 35 to unfold and shield;
[0078] Step eight: when all the parts are welded, start the No. 1 power 3, the No. 1 power 3 drives the No. 1 installation platform 2 to continue rotating 180°, then start the No. 3 drive 26, the No. 3 drive 26 drives the support plate 27 to move towards the side close to the axle 49, so that the support plate 27 contacts the bottom of the axle 49, providing support for the axle 49 in the process of unloading; then, drive the telescopic shaft on the pneumatic tailstock 20 to move away from the side of the axle 49 through the No. 2 drive 21, release the constraint of the center 22 on the axle 49, then drive the chuck 16 through the No. 1 drive 13, so that the chuck 16 releases the axle 49, and takes down the welded axle 49.

When welding components onto the axle, the controller controls drive component 26 to move, causing support plate 27 to move closer to the axle 49, moving it to a pre-set position to support the axle 49. Drive component 13 is then manually activated, and chuck 16 clamps the left end of the axle 49. Then, drive component 26 is manually activated. Drive component 21, the second drive component 21, moves the center point 22, which then presses the right end of the axle 49 against the axle. After the axle is installed, the controller controls the third drive component 26 to move, which moves the support plate 27 away from the axle 49, releasing the constraint of the support plate 27 on the axle 49. Next, the controller controls the second power component 12 to rotate the axle 49. After rotating the axle 49 to the pre-set position, the controller controls the lead screw assembly 33 to move, which drives the second mounting platform 7 to move horizontally, moving the axle 49 to the pre-set position. Then, the controller controls the first power component 3 to move, which drives the first mounting platform. 2. Rotate the first mounting platform 2 180°. The controller controls the fourth drive component 37 to move, extending the output shaft of the fourth drive component 37, which moves the component held on the clamping block 47 towards the side closer to the axle 49, placing the component on the axle 49. The controller controls the robotic arm 5 to rotate and moves the welding torch 6 to the pre-set position, welding the component onto the axle 49. After welding, the controller controls the robotic arm 5 and the fourth drive component 37 to move the welding torch 6 and the clamping block 47 away. Simultaneously, the component and the axle 49 are installed on another positioning and placement mechanism. To prevent the arc light generated by welding from adversely affecting the operator's vision, the controller controls the fifth drive component 3 on the component-side positioning and placement mechanism. 6. Drive component 36 of the fifth unit drives the folding soft curtain 35 to unfold and provide cover; the controller controls the first power component 3 to rotate the first mounting platform 2 by 180°. After the first mounting platform 2 is in position, the controller controls the third drive component 26 to move the support plate 27 closer to the axle 49, moving the support plate 27 to the pre-set position to provide support for the axle 49. The controller controls the second drive component 21 to move the top 22 away from the axle 49, releasing the top 22 from the axle 49. Finally, the controller controls the first drive component 13 to release the chuck 16 and remove the welded axle 49.In the embodiment, the controller selects a programmable controller of a programmable robot of Guangshu RH06A2-1490DE.
