[0034] Going a step further, such as Figures 3-4As shown: both sides of the connecting plate 5 are fixedly connected to the mounting rails. The auxiliary support mounting mechanism 4 is located below the mounting rails. The bottom of the mounting rails is provided with a limiting groove for use with the third positioning bolt 44. The corresponding second mounting plate 45 and the mounting rail are positioned by the four third positioning bolts 44. The first mounting plate 42 and the installed collaborative robot are connected by the second positioning bolt 43, thereby realizing the overall installation of the auxiliary support mounting mechanism 4 and the connecting plate 5.

[0043] The first drive motor 24 operates, driving the support platform 25 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating block 22 to rotate, making it convenient to rotate items placed on the surface of the rotating block 22.

[0044] Both positioning blocks 21 have internal threaded connections with first positioning bolts 23 extending into the positioning disk 2, which facilitates lateral positioning of items placed on the surface of the positioning disk 2 and improves the stability of the equipment during use.

[0045] The control chip is used to control the operation of the first drive motor 24, the second drive motor 52 and the wireless signal transceiver 56, thereby realizing the management of the power equipment.
