Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0032] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-7 A mobile modular platform includes a moving and fixing mechanism, a main frame, a control unit, an execution unit, an input / output module, and an expansion interface;

[0033] The main frame includes a support frame 1, and the expansion interface includes a connecting plate 13 mounted on the top of the support frame 1. The connecting plate 13 is provided with multiple sets of standardized mounting holes. The standardized mounting holes and the connecting plate 13 are used to mount execution devices, enabling the application to install execution devices such as flexible vibrating discs, pneumatic turntables, and robots, thereby enhancing the application's expandability. Figure 1 The standard at point A is a robot. Figure 6 The part marked B is a pneumatic turntable.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the support frame 1 has a lifting door 12 on both the front and back, and heat dissipation sealing plates 9 are installed on both the left and right sides of the support frame 1. The lifting door 12 allows the operator to easily inspect, maintain and replace the internal components of the support frame 1. The heat dissipation sealing plates 9 can ensure air circulation inside the support frame 1, dissipate the heat generated by the equipment, reduce the damage caused by overheating, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the moving and fixing mechanism includes casters 2 and feet 3. Both casters 2 and feet 3 are installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. Casters 2 allow the support frame 1 to be easily moved to different positions, and feet 3 can adjust the height of the support frame 1 and fix the support frame 1 when needed.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, positioning brackets 4 are provided on both sides of the support frame 1. Each positioning bracket 4 is connected to a fixing plate 21, and the fixing plate 21 is fixed to the side of the support frame 1. The positioning brackets 4 and the fixing plate 21 can accurately fix the support frame 1 on the ground to ensure the stability of the support frame 1 during operation.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 14 is also provided on the top of the support frame 1, which makes it convenient for operators to push or pull the support frame 1 to move.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control unit includes a robot controller 6 and an electronic control board module 5 disposed within the support frame 1, and a robot teach pendant 11 disposed outside the support frame 1. The robot controller 6 is communicatively connected to the robot teach pendant 11.

[0039] Furthermore, the control board module 5 has a built-in PLC and is connected to an HMI device. The robot controller 6 interacts with the control board module 5 via an internal bus or communication protocol. The robot controller 6 can control the robot to operate according to a predetermined program and path. The HMI device provides an interface for human-machine interaction. Operators can program and operate the robot through the robot teach pendant 11. The control board module 5, robot controller 6, robot teach pendant 11, and HMI device are all existing components, and their structures and principles are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the execution unit includes a solenoid valve module 7, which is connected to the electronic control board module 5.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the input / output module includes an output module 8 and an input module 10 respectively disposed on both sides of the support frame 1. The output module 8 and the input module 10 communicate with the PLC of the control board module 5, external sensors and HMI devices through a standardized interface.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the output module 8 integrates a compressed gas interface 803, an Ethernet interface 802, and an I / O interface 801. The compressed gas interface 803 is connected to the solenoid valve module 7, the Ethernet interface 802 is connected to the HMI device, PLC, and robot controller 6, and the I / O interface 801 is connected to external sensors. All of the above interfaces are existing standard structures, and their structures and principles are existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0043] The PLC of the control board module 5 receives instructions from the HMI device through the internal bus and sends control signals to the solenoid valve module 7 to adjust the compressed gas flow to drive the pneumatic actuator; the PLC communicates with the robot controller 6 through the Ethernet interface 802.

[0044] Take, for example, a scenario where a robot is equipped with a welding torch for welding:

[0045] Move the platform of this application to the welding station, use expansion bolts to fix the positioning bracket 4 to the ground, use the bolts and mounting holes on the connecting plate 13 to install the robot to the top of the connecting plate 13, connect the robot controller 6 and the robot teach pendant 11, install the welding gun tool on the robot, and receive welding parameter signals through the input module 10 so that the robot can drive the welding gun to the welding position for welding.
