[0025] Brief description of usage:
[0026] The clamp frame 210 is the part of the clamp that needs to be replaced. The bottom frame 110 on the turntable device 100 is the part that fixes the clamp frame 210. During installation, the clamp frame 210 is lifted by a forklift to a position approximately above the bottom frame 110. The height of the fork arm is slowly lowered. The stacked spring in the heavy-duty buffer mechanism 1100 reduces the impact caused by the rapid descent of the fork arm. The clamp frame 210 is roughly positioned under the interaction between the XZ direction guide block 170 and the XZ direction guide mechanism 270. The clamp frame 210 rests on the low-friction heavy-duty universal ball 114. Then, external force is used to push the clamp frame 210 towards the X direction positioning block 130. The interaction between the first lateral guide block 150 and the second lateral guide block 160 and the first lateral guide mechanism 250 and the second lateral guide mechanism 260 provides coarse guidance for this process. When it is about to be in place... The Z-axis positioning groove 120 and X-axis positioning groove 130 are precisely guided and limited between the Z-axis positioning block 220 and X-axis positioning block 230. Then, the XY-axis sliding positioning pin 240 is inserted into the XY-axis positioning pin hole 140. When the XY-axis positioning sensor switch 113 receives a signal, the Z-axis tension quick clamp 190 is engaged with the Z-axis tensioning claw 280 and tightened. When the Z-axis tensioning sensor switch 112 receives a signal, the vehicle model recognition switch 111 is used to confirm the vehicle model information of the replaced fixture. During disassembly, the Z-axis tension quick clamp 190 is released and the XY-axis sliding positioning pin 240 is removed. Then, the fixture frame 210 is forked away to continue replacing other models of fixtures.
