[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a four-axis cam turntable, including a mounting box 1, a motor 2 fixed to one side of the mounting box 1, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably disposed in the mounting box 1 along a first direction, an integrated arc-shaped camshaft 5 rotatably disposed in the mounting box 1 along a second direction and driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, a transmission assembly disposed between the integrated arc-shaped camshaft 5 and the motor 2, and a brake assembly 9 disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 6. The brake assembly 9 includes a static friction plate 92 detachably connected to the mounting box 1, a dynamic friction plate 91 detachably connected to the rotating shaft 6 and located below the static friction plate 92, a brake end cover 94 detachably connected to the mounting box 1 and disposed at the lower end of the dynamic friction plate 91, a valve core 95 disposed in the brake end cover 94 and capable of floating up and down, and a spring plunger 93 movably disposed in the mounting box 1. The second direction is parallel to the axial direction of the output shaft of the motor 2, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0027] In some embodiments, the brake end cap 94 has a groove on the end face facing the dynamic friction plate 91, the valve core 95 is disposed in the groove, and the brake end cap 94 is also provided with an oil inlet communicating with the groove, through which hydraulic oil enters the groove to push the valve core 95.
