[0026] The laser tracker 2 is placed inside the protection assembly 3 on the upper surface of the AGV 1, and the protection assembly 3 is a hollow structure inside the component, which provides a relatively closed space for the laser tracker 2 to protect it from external environment interference and potential damage. When the laser tracker 2 needs to be moved for station transfer operation, the AGV 1 is used as a mobile carrier, and the multiple wheels of the AGV 1 are Mecanum wheels, which can realize movement in multiple directions, and the chassis of the AGV 1 has a lifting function, which is suitable for moving in multiple terrains, and the laser tracker 2 is transported to the required position.
[0027] The protection assembly 3 is provided with a protection door component which is spatially matched with the laser tracker 2. When the laser tracker 2 is inside the protection assembly 3, the protection door component can be closed to provide further protection for it, avoiding accidental contact of the laser tracker 2 with external objects. When the laser tracker 2 needs to enter and exit the protection assembly 3, the protection door component can be opened as needed to provide a passage for the laser tracker 2 to enter and exit. The driving component 5 is arranged inside the AGV, and under the action of the driving component 5, the laser tracker 2 can be moved out of the protection assembly 3 to start measurement and other work; after completing the work, the driving component 5 can return the laser tracker 2 to the protection assembly 3 to ensure its safety.
[0028] In the above technical solution, the protection assembly 3 comprises: a protection cover 31 arranged on the upper surface of the AGV 1 and having a hollow structure inside, the protection cover 31 is provided with an opening in the moving direction of the laser tracker 2, and a pair of rails 32 are arranged on the inside of the protection cover 31 in the opening direction and above the two side walls of the protection cover 31 in the vertical direction of the opening, and the protection door component is slidably arranged in the rails 32.
[0029] The AGV trolley 1 upper surface is provided with a waist-shaped hole 6 for the movement of the driving assembly, and the waist-shaped hole 6 is in communication with the opening of the protective cover 31. By using this technical method, the protective cover 31 is arranged on the upper surface of the AGV trolley 1, and the hollow structure inside provides a containing space for the laser tracker 2. The opening arranged in the movement direction of the laser tracker 2 is to provide a necessary space channel for the laser tracker 2 to enter and exit the protective cover 31. The pair of rails 32 arranged in the opening direction on the inside of the protective cover 31 and vertically to the opening on the upper side of the two side walls of the protective cover 31 provide accurate guidance and support for the sliding of the protective door component. This layout of the rails 32 can ensure that the sliding of the protective door component is more stable and smooth. When the protective door component slides, the pair of rails 32 can limit its movement trajectory, prevent it from deviating or shaking during movement, and thus ensure that the protective door component can be accurately opened and closed, realizing reliable closing and opening of the opening of the protective cover 31. At the same time, the driving component 5 has two degrees of freedom in space, the X-axis direction degree of freedom is configured as a lead screw assembly or an electric push rod, the Z-axis direction degree of freedom is configured as an electric push rod, the Z-axis direction electric push rod is arranged on the moving end of the X-axis direction lead screw assembly, the laser tracker 2 is arranged on the moving end of the Z-axis direction electric push rod, the arrangement of the waist-shaped hole 6 ensures that the Z-axis direction electric push rod of the driving component 5 can enter and exit the inside of the protective cover 31 along the waist-shaped hole 6, and a telescopic sleeve is arranged in the waist-shaped hole 6, one end of the telescopic sleeve is connected with the end of the waist-shaped hole 6, a return spring is arranged in the telescopic sleeve, when the laser tracker 2 moves to the inside of the protective cover 31, the telescopic sleeve is closed under the action of the return spring, the two-degree-of-freedom driving component 5 can realize the entering and exiting of the laser tracker 2 inside the protective cover 31, and also can adjust the spatial height of the laser tracker 2, the two-degree-of-freedom adjustment function greatly improves the applicability of the laser tracker 2, so that it can flexibly adjust its position according to different measurement requirements and on-site environment, while ensuring protection, ensuring the accuracy and convenience of measurement.

With this technical solution, when the protective door needs to be opened, the driving mechanism 37 is started, and through the transmission connection with the chain 36, the sliding wheels 35 at both ends of the curtain piece 34 are driven to move along the track 32, the curtain piece 34 starts to move, and the protective door is gradually opened to provide a passage for the laser tracker 2 to enter and exit the protective cover 31. Conversely, when the protective door needs to be closed, the driving mechanism 37 is reversely driven, the transmission rod on the driving mechanism 37 rotates and drives the sprocket 38 on the transmission to rotate synchronously, the corresponding sprocket 38 meshes with the chain 36, and the curtain piece 34 is driven to move in the track 32, so that the protective door is closed to protect the laser tracker 2 from external interference. During the whole process, the curtain piece 34, the sliding wheel 35, the chain 36 and the driving mechanism 37 cooperate with each other to complete the opening and closing operation of the protective door, ensuring the reliability and smoothness of the operation of the protective door.
