[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a positioning device 100, which includes a rotating platform 10, a rotating mechanism 30, and a leveling mechanism 40. The rotating platform 10 is used to place a workpiece 2000. The rotating mechanism 30 is connected to the rotating platform 10 and is used to drive the rotating platform 10 to rotate to adjust the angle of the workpiece 2000. The leveling mechanism 40 includes multiple damping hydraulic modules 41, which are evenly arranged on the back side of the rotating platform 10 along its circumference. Each damping hydraulic module 41 includes a hydraulic drive assembly 412 and a support column 414. Each support column 414 is connected to the rotating platform 10 and supports the rotating platform 10. The hydraulic drive assembly 412 is connected to the corresponding support column 414 and is used to drive the support column 414 to extend and retract vertically to adjust the flatness of the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000.

[0033] In the aforementioned positioning device 100, the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 can be adjusted using the rotation mechanism 30 and the leveling mechanism 40, thereby avoiding the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency caused by manual operation. Moreover, the flatness adjustment accuracy using the damping hydraulic module 41 is also relatively high.

[0034] Specifically, the positioning device 100 is a device that fixes the workpiece 2000 in a specific position and posture during processing to ensure that the geometric parameters of the workpiece 2000, such as angle and flatness, meet the processing requirements. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the process, the positioning device 100 is located on the machine base 300 of the processing equipment 1000.

[0035] In related technologies, the general operation method for machining workpieces is as follows: First, the operator uses measuring tools (such as lever gauges) and relies on worker experience to perform perpendicularity leveling on auxiliary fixtures and contour blocks, and then locks the contour blocks with screws; next, the auxiliary fixture (such as a flat plate) is leveled for straightness and then locked; the workpiece machining coordinates of the raw material to be processed are calculated using a probe and input into the program; finally, the start button is pressed to allow the machining equipment to process the workpiece. In the above process, the detection of parameters such as perpendicularity and straightness of the workpiece mainly relies on manual operation of measuring tools for leveling. Afterwards, the operator adjusts the position of the workpiece according to the acquired parameters. Re-clamping and adjustment are required every 30 minutes to 2 hours. This is labor-intensive and inefficient, and it is only suitable for workpieces with simple geometric shapes. For some irregularly shaped or structurally complex workpieces, manual operation becomes more difficult due to their irregular shape. At the same time, the rigid fixtures mentioned above have poor vibration suppression capabilities, which leads to poor machining accuracy of the workpiece.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The rotating platform 10 of the positioning device 100 is located above the rotating mechanism 30 and the leveling mechanism 40. The rotating platform 10 is used to place the workpiece 2000. The rotating mechanism 30 is connected to the rotating platform 10 to drive the rotating platform 10 to rotate in order to adjust the angle between the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 5 The hydraulic drive assembly 412 includes a forward and reverse hydraulic pump 412a, a damping hydraulic cylinder 412b, and a damper 412c. The forward and reverse hydraulic pump 412a provides hydraulic power to the damping hydraulic cylinder 412b, enabling the damping hydraulic cylinder 412b to drive the support column 414 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the flatness of the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000 supported by the support column 414. The damper 412c can adjust the extension and retraction speed of the support column 414 through the fluid flow resistance, providing a certain degree of limit and protection for the support column 414 and ensuring the accuracy of the extension and retraction of the support column 414. The number of damping hydraulic modules 41 can be specifically limited according to the actual situation, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard. In one example, the number of damping hydraulic modules 41 is four. The rotating platform 10 is a flattened cuboid shape, and the four damping hydraulic modules 41 are distributed at the four corners of the back of the rotating platform 10.

[0037] Therefore, through the coordinated operation of the rotating mechanism 30, the leveling mechanism 40, and the rotating platform 10, the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 can be adjusted. This is simple and practical, and to a certain extent reduces the positioning difficulty caused by the irregular shape of the workpiece 2000, thus avoiding the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency caused by manual operation. At the same time, the flatness adjustment accuracy using the damping hydraulic module 41 is also high, which can ensure the subsequent processing quality of the workpiece 2000 to a certain extent.

[0038] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 30 includes a rotating drive assembly 32, a driving wheel 34, and a driven wheel 36. The driving wheel 34 is connected to the output shaft 323a of the rotating drive assembly 32, and the driven wheel 36 is connected to the rotating platform 10. The driven wheel 36 meshes with the driving wheel 34.

[0039] In this way, the meshing transmission efficiency is high and the engagement is tight.

[0040] Specifically, please combine Figures 3 to 5 The rotary platform 10 is fixedly connected to the driven wheel 36 via the first fastener 12. The teeth of the driven wheel 36 mesh with the teeth of the driving wheel 34. When the rotary drive assembly 32 drives the driving wheel 34 to rotate, the teeth of the driving wheel 34 enter the tooth grooves of the driven wheel 36, and vice versa. This mutual cooperation allows the power output from the output shaft 323a to be synchronously transmitted to the rotary platform 10, enabling the rotation of the driven wheel 36 to drive the rotary platform 10 to rotate and adjust the angle of the workpiece 2000°. The meshing transmission efficiency is high, and the engagement is tight.

[0041] Optionally, the number of teeth can affect the transmission speed. The number of teeth in the driven wheel 36 and the number of teeth in the driving wheel 34 can be specifically limited according to actual needs, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard.

[0042] In some embodiments, the rotary drive assembly 32 includes a motor 321 and a steering member 323. The steering member 323 includes an output shaft 323a and a steering structure (not shown). The output shaft 323a is arranged in a vertical direction, and the motor shaft 321a of the motor 321 is arranged in a horizontal direction. The steering structure is connected to both the motor shaft 321a and the output shaft 323a of the motor 321 and is used to transmit the power output by the motor 321 to the output shaft 323a.

[0043] In this way, the entire positioning device 100 can be made compact, reducing the space occupied.

[0044] Specifically, please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5When the motor 321 is powered on, the motor shaft 321a is connected to the output shaft 323a through the steering structure of the steering component 323. The power output by the motor shaft 321a can be transmitted to the output shaft 323a through the steering structure, causing the power output by the output shaft 323a to drive the drive wheel 34 to rotate. Since the output shaft 323a is set in the vertical direction and the motor shaft 321a is set in the horizontal direction, the steering structure can convert the rotational motion of the motor shaft 321a around the horizontal axis into the rotational motion of the output shaft 323a around the vertical axis. This allows the rotary drive assembly 32 to adjust the direction of the power output by the motor 321 within a limited space to adapt to the compact structural layout of the positioning device 100, avoiding functional limitations due to space constraints and reducing the space occupied to a certain extent.

[0045] In one embodiment, the steering structure may include a worm and a worm wheel. The worm is connected to the motor shaft 321a, and the worm wheel is connected to the output shaft 323a. The helical gear of the worm wheel meshes with the helical groove of the worm. The axes of the worm and the worm are intersected at 90 degrees, which restricts the worm wheel from rotating about the axis of the output shaft 323a. This allows the power output from the horizontally positioned motor shaft 321a to be transmitted to the vertically positioned output shaft 323a.

[0046] In some embodiments, the positioning device 100 includes a middle plate 60 located below the rotating platform 10. A drive wheel 36 and a driven wheel 34 are rotatably mounted on the middle plate 60. Multiple support columns 414 pass through the middle plate 60 and are connected to the rotating platform 10. The middle plate 60 is equipped with multiple first sensors 61 and second sensors 63. The first sensors 61 monitor the extension and retraction states of the support columns 414. The second sensors 63 monitor the rotation angle of the rotating platform 10.

[0047] Thus, the leveling mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 30 can be determined to be in normal working condition by the first sensor 61 and the second sensor 63.

[0048] Optionally, the processing equipment 1000 includes a control device (not shown), which is electrically connected to the leveling mechanism 40, the rotating mechanism 30, the first sensor 61, and the second sensor 63.

[0049] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The first sensor 61 can be a light sensor, which includes a light emitter and a light receiver, both of which face the direction of the support column 414. When the control device controls the hydraulic drive assembly 412 to extend the support column 414 to adjust the flatness of the rotary platform 10, the control device controls the light emitter to emit detection light in the direction of the support column 414. If the light receiver receives the detection light reflected back from the support column 414, the control device can determine that the top of the support column 414 has extended above the middle plate 60 to adjust the flatness of the rotary platform 10 and the workpiece 2000; if the light receiver does not receive the detection light reflected back from the support column 414, the control device can determine that the top of the support column 414 has not extended above the middle plate 60. At this time, the control device controls the processing equipment 1000 to issue an alarm, and / or controls the leveling mechanism 40 and the rotation mechanism 30 to stop working, thereby timely reminding the operator to inspect and maintain the leveling mechanism 40. Optionally, the alarm may include, but is not limited to, audible and visual alarm signals, or the alarm signal may be sent to the display screen of the processing equipment 1000 or the operator's terminal for display. The number of first sensors 61 may be specifically limited according to actual conditions, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard. In one example, the number of first sensors 61 is 4, and one first sensor 61 corresponds to monitoring the extension and retraction state of one support column 414.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second sensor 63 may be a light sensor. The light sensor includes a light emitter and a light receiver, both of which face the direction of the driven wheel 36. When the control device controls the rotary drive assembly 32 to drive the driven wheel 36 to rotate via the drive wheel 34 to rotate the rotary platform 10 by a preset angle, the control device controls the light emitter to emit detection light toward the teeth of the driven wheel 36. The teeth and grooves of the rotating driven wheel 36 alternately reflect the detection light into the light receiver. Since the distances between the teeth and grooves and the light receiver are different, the detection light signal reflected by the teeth and the detection light signal reflected by the grooves received by the light receiver are different. Therefore, the control device can obtain the rotation angle of the driven wheel 36 by detecting the change in the light signal and the mapping relationship between the light signal and the rotation angle of the driven wheel 36, thereby determining the current rotation angle of the rotary platform 10, and comparing the current rotation angle of the rotary platform 10 with the preset angle. If the current rotation angle of the rotating platform 10 is equal to the preset angle, the control device can determine that the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000 have rotated into position; if the current rotation angle of the rotating platform 10 is not equal to the preset angle, the control device controls the processing equipment 1000 to issue an alarm, and / or controls the leveling mechanism 40 and the rotating mechanism 30 to stop working, thereby promptly reminding the operator to inspect and maintain the rotating mechanism 30. The number of the second sensor 63 can be specifically limited according to the actual situation, and this utility model does not make a specific limitation in this regard. In one example, the number of the first sensor 61 is one.

[0051] Optionally, the preset angle can be specifically defined by the difference between the current angle of the workpiece and the target angle, and the target angle can be specifically defined by the actual situation and stored in the control device.

[0052] It is understood that in other embodiments, the light emitter and light receiver of the second sensor 63 are both oriented towards the direction of the drive wheel 34. The control device can obtain the rotation angle of the driven wheel 36 by detecting changes in the light signal, the mapping relationship between the light signal and the rotation angle of the driven wheel 36, and the transmission ratio between the driven wheel 36 and the drive wheel 34, and thus determine the current rotation angle of the rotating platform 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the positioning device 100 includes a lower plate 70 and a positioning plate 80. The lower plate 70 is located below the middle plate 60, and the positioning plate 80 is disposed on the lower plate 70. The positioning plate 80 includes a base 81 and a positioning platform 83 protruding from the base 81. The positioning platform 83 passes through and positions the middle plate 60, and the middle plate 60 is supported on the base 81.

[0054] In this way, the stability and accuracy of the positioning device 100 are guaranteed to a certain extent.

[0055] Specifically, please combine Figures 3 to 5The base 81 of the positioning plate 80 is fixedly connected to the lower plate 70. The shape and size of the positioning platform 83 are adapted to the corresponding through holes on the middle plate 60, allowing the positioning platform 83 to pass through and position the middle plate 60. The middle plate 60 is supported on the base 81, thus the base 81 provides stable support for the middle plate 60. Therefore, the positioning plate 80 restricts the relative movement between the middle plate 60 and the lower plate 70 in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby determining the position of the middle plate 60 on the lower plate 70. Optionally, the driven wheel 36 of the rotating mechanism 30 is also passed through the positioning platform 83 to determine the position of the driven wheel 36 on the middle plate 60, thereby determining the position of the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000 fixedly connected to the driven wheel 36 relative to the lower plate 70, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the positioning device 100 to a certain extent.

[0056] In some embodiments, the leveling mechanism 40 is mounted on the lower plate 70.

[0057] This provides stable support for the leveling mechanism 40.

[0058] Specifically, please combine Figure 4 The four damping hydraulic modules 41 of the leveling mechanism 40 pass through the lower plate 70 and are respectively located near the four corners of the lower plate 70, so that the lower plate 70 provides stable support for the leveling mechanism 40. The hydraulic drive component 412 of the damping hydraulic module 41 can drive the support column 414 to extend and retract to adjust the flatness of the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000.

[0059] In some embodiments, the positioning device 100 includes a base plate 90 and a plurality of fixing modules 50. The base plate 90 is located below the lower plate 70, and the plurality of fixing modules 50 are spaced apart on the base plate 90. The plurality of fixing modules 50 are detachably connected to the lower plate 70 to position the lower plate 70 on the base plate 90.

[0060] In this way, the position of the lower plate 70 on the base plate 90 can be determined and the lower plate 70 can be connected to the base plate 90.

[0061] Specifically, the base plate 90 is placed on the machine base 300 of the processing equipment 1000 and is detachably connected to the machine base 300. Please refer to... Figures 3 to 5 Multiple fixed modules 50 are spaced apart on the base plate 90 and detachably connected to the base plate 90. When the lower plate 70 is connected to the multiple fixed modules 50, the lower plate 70 can determine its relative position to the base plate 90 and connect to the base plate 90 through the multiple fixed modules 50. Thus, components such as the rotating platform 10 and the middle plate 60 can be connected to the base plate 90 through the lower plate 70 and the fixed modules 50. Therefore, the positioning device 100 can be set on the machine base 300 of the processing equipment 1000 through the base plate 90.

[0062] The number of fixed modules 50 can be specifically limited according to actual conditions, and this utility model does not impose a specific limitation in this regard. In one example, please refer to... Figure 5 The number of fixed modules 50 is 4.

[0063] In some implementations, the positions of the plurality of fixed modules 50 on the base plate 90 are adjustable.

[0064] Thus, the angle between the rotating platform 10 and the workpiece 2000 can be adjusted by adjusting the positions of multiple fixed modules 50 on the base plate 90.

[0065] Specifically, multiple fixing modules 50 can be detachably connected to the base plate 90 via screws, pins, etc. The operator can adjust the position of the fixing modules 50 on the base plate 90 according to actual needs to adjust the position of the lower plate 70 connected to the fixing modules 50 relative to the base plate 90. Since the middle plate 60 is connected to the lower plate 70 via the positioning plate 80, and the rotating platform 10 is connected to the lower plate 70 via the rotating mechanism 30, the position of the rotating platform 10 relative to the base plate 90 can be adjusted to adjust the angle of the workpiece 2000 on the rotating platform 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fixing module 50 includes a base 53, a locking mechanism 54, and a positioning post 55. The locking mechanism 54 and the positioning post 55 are disposed on the base 53. The lower plate 70 is positioned on the fixing module 50 by means of a connector 72 passing through the lower plate 70 and the positioning post 55. The locking mechanism 54 is movably disposed on the base 53 to approach or move away from the positioning post 55, for pressing the positioning post 55 to lock the connector 72, and for releasing the positioning post 55 to unlock the connector 72. When the positioning post 55 locks the connector 72, the lower plate 70 is fixed to the fixing module 50. When the positioning post 55 unlocks the connector 72, the lower plate 70 can be detached from the fixing module 50.

[0067] Thus, the detachable connection between the lower plate 70 and the fixed module 50 can be achieved through the cooperation between the locking mechanism 54, the positioning post 55 and the connector 72.

[0068] Specifically, please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6The base 53 of the fixing module 50 can be detachably connected to the base plate 90 via screws, pins, or other means, thereby allowing the fixing module 50 to be detachably connected to the base plate 90. The lower plate 70 is located above the fixing module 50, and the connector 72 passes through the lower plate 70 to connect with the positioning groove 552 of the positioning post 55. In one embodiment, when the locking mechanism 54 applies pressure to the positioning post 55, the positioning post 55 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the positioning groove 552 to contract inward and compress the connector 72. This increases the compressive and frictional forces between the connector 72 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 552, thereby forming a mechanical interlock. The lower plate 70 can be fixed to the fixing module 50 and then to the base plate 90 through the mutual cooperation of the connector 72 and the positioning groove 552.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the locking mechanism 54 releases pressure on the positioning post 55, the positioning post 55 undergoes elastic deformation to cause the positioning groove 552 to expand outward to release the compression on the connector 72, and the connector 72 can exit the positioning groove 552, so that the lower plate 70 can be detached from the fixing module 50.

[0070] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 54 includes an actuating plate 541, a plurality of sliders 543, and a limiting plate 545, wherein the plurality of sliders 543 are all connected to the actuating plate 541 and the limiting plate 545. The actuating plate 541 is used to move the sliders 543 relative to the limiting plate 545 when rotated. The limiting plate 545 is used to convert the rotational motion of the actuating plate 541 into movement of the plurality of sliders 543 along a direction close to the positioning post 55 and along a direction away from the positioning post 55. When the plurality of sliders 543 move along the direction close to the positioning post 55, they provide pressure to the positioning post 55 for the locking connector 72. When the plurality of sliders 543 move along the direction away from the positioning post 55, the pressure is released.

[0071] In this way, multiple sliders 543 can be used to lock and unlock the positioning post 55 and the connector 72 by tossing.

[0072] Specifically, please combine Figure 6The actuating plate 541 has multiple arc-shaped sliding grooves 541c, each corresponding to a multiple slider 543. The sliding grooves 541c extend from the periphery near the actuating plate 541 towards the center. The limiting plate 545 has multiple strip-shaped limiting grooves 545a, each corresponding to a multiple slider 543. The slider 543 can pass through the corresponding sliding groove 541c and the corresponding limiting groove 545a. When the actuating plate 541 rotates, it can drive the slider 543 to move relative to the actuating plate 541 in the extension direction of the slide groove 541c through the groove wall of the slide groove 541c. The limiting plate 545 can restrict the movement of the slider 543 in other directions except the radial direction. Therefore, through the mutual cooperation between the slider 543, the slide groove 541c and the limiting groove 545a, the rotational movement of the actuating plate 541 can be converted into the movement of multiple sliders 543 in the direction close to the positioning post 55 and in the direction away from the positioning post 55, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the positioning post 55 by multiple sliders 543.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the actuating plate 541 is turned clockwise, the actuating plate 541 drives the slider 543 to move relative to the actuating plate 541 in the extension direction of the slide groove 541c. That is, the slider 543 can move from the periphery of the actuating plate 541 to the center in the radial and circumferential directions. The limiting plate 545 can restrict the circumferential movement of the slider 543. Therefore, through the mutual cooperation between the slider 543, the slide groove 541c and the limiting groove 545a, multiple sliders 543 move relative to the limiting plate 545 in the radial direction toward the positioning post 55, thereby enabling multiple sliders 543 to provide pressure of the locking connector 72 to the positioning post 55.

[0074] In one embodiment, when the actuating plate 541 is turned counterclockwise, the actuating plate 541 drives the slider 543 to move relative to the actuating plate 541 in the extension direction of the groove 541c within the groove 541c. That is, the slider 543 can move from the center of the actuating plate 541 to the periphery in both the radial and circumferential directions. The limiting plate 545 can restrict the circumferential movement of the slider 543. Therefore, through the mutual cooperation between the slider 543, the groove 541c and the limiting groove 545a, multiple sliders 543 can move in the radial direction away from the positioning post 55 relative to the limiting plate 545, thereby relieving the pressure provided to the positioning post 55 and the connecting member 72 by the multiple sliders 543.

[0075] Optionally, the fixing module 50 further includes a second fastener 57 and a positioning pin 56. The limiting plate 545 is fixedly connected to the base 53 through the second fastener 57. The positioning pin 56 can pass through the actuating plate 541 so that the actuating plate 541 is positioned on the limiting plate 545. The positioning pin 56 is also connected to the positioning post 55 so that the positioning post 55 is positioned on the actuating plate 541.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing module 50 includes a first cover plate 51, which is connected to the base 53 to form a receiving cavity. The actuating plate 541 includes an actuating body 541a and an actuating rod 541b, which is located on one side of the actuating body 541a. The actuating body 541a is connected to the slider 543. The slider 543, the limiting plate 545 and the actuating body 541a are located inside the receiving cavity, and the actuating rod 541b extends out of the receiving cavity.

[0077] This prevents debris and waste generated during processing from splashing into the cavity and causing the fixing module 50 to fail.

[0078] Specifically, please combine Figure 6 The first cover plate 51 can be fixedly connected to the base 53 by screws, pins, etc. to form a receiving cavity. The slider 543, the limiting plate 545 and the actuating body 541a are all located in the receiving cavity. A part of the positioning post 55 extends out of the first cover plate 51. The first cover plate 51 can prevent debris, waste and other materials generated during the processing from splashing into the receiving cavity, avoid wear or jamming between the slider 543, the limiting plate 545 and the actuating body 541a, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the fixing module 50 to a certain extent.

[0079] The actuating body 541a is provided with a sliding groove 541c, and the slider 543 passes through the sliding groove 541c and the limiting groove 545a. The actuating rod 541b is located on one side of the actuating body 541a and extends out of the receiving cavity. The actuating rod 541b can be easily manually actuated by the operator or by other driving mechanisms, so that the actuating rod 541b drives the actuating body 541a to rotate under the action of external force, and drives the slider 543 to move along the direction close to the positioning post 55 and along the direction away from the positioning post 55 under the mutual cooperation between the sliding groove 541c and the limiting groove 545a.

[0080] In one embodiment, the fixing module 50 further includes a second cover plate 52, which is located below the first cover plate 51. The positioning pin 56 passes through the second cover plate 52 and the slider 543 passes through the second cover plate 52, so that the second cover plate 52 positions and covers the actuating plate 541. This can further prevent debris, waste, etc. generated during the processing from splashing into the groove 541c of the actuating plate 541, which would cause the relative movement between the slider 543 and the actuating plate 541 to become stuck.

[0081] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a processing equipment 1000, which includes a positioning device 100 according to any of the above embodiments.

[0082] In the aforementioned processing equipment 1000, the positioning device 100 can use the rotating mechanism 30 and the leveling mechanism 40 to adjust the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000, thereby avoiding the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency caused by manual operation. Moreover, the flatness adjustment accuracy using the damping hydraulic module 41 is also high.

[0083] Specifically, processing equipment 1000 is equipment used in product manufacturing to process workpiece 2000 to change the shape, size, properties, or appearance of workpiece 2000.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning device 100 is mounted on the machine base 300 of the processing equipment 1000, and the workpiece 2000 is located on the rotating platform 10 of the positioning device 100. In one embodiment, after the positioning device 100 drives the rotating platform 10 to move using the rotating mechanism 30 and the leveling mechanism 40 to adjust the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000, the processing equipment 1000 processes the workpiece 2000 using a processing device (such as a cutting tool).

[0084] In some embodiments, the processing equipment 1000 includes a machine base 300 and a detection device 200.

[0085] In this way, the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 can be obtained through the detection device 200 to determine the parameters that need to be adjusted.

[0086] Optionally, the processing equipment 1000 also includes a control device electrically connected to the detection device 200 and the positioning device 100. The probe 20 of the detection device 200 can emit a detection medium to multiple points on the workpiece 2000 located on the rotary platform 10 and receive the detection medium reflected from the workpiece 2000. The control device can analyze the signal of the reflected detection medium acquired by the detection device 200 to obtain the current angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000, and compare it with pre-stored target angle and target flatness to calculate the angle difference and flatness difference. The control device can control the rotation mechanism 30 and the leveling mechanism 40 to drive the rotary platform 10 to move so that the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 reach the target angle and target flatness, suitable for subsequent processing of the workpiece 2000 by the processing equipment 1000.

[0087] Optionally, the detection medium may include, but is not limited to, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and ultrasound.

[0088] In summary, in one embodiment, the installation and operation process of the positioning device 100 is as follows: (1) Select a suitable position on the machine 300 to set up the positioning device 100, and first place the base plate 90 of the positioning device 100 on the machine 300; (2) Adjust the position of multiple fixed modules 50 on the base plate 90 to adjust the angle accuracy of the middle plate 60 (i.e., adjust the angle of the rotating platform 10), and lock the positioning column 55 through the locking mechanism 54 so that the fixed module 50 is fixedly connected to the middle plate 60. (3) Connect the power supply of the motor 321 of the rotary drive assembly 32 and the forward and reverse hydraulic pump 412a of the damping hydraulic module 41 to the processing equipment 1000. (4) Fix the workpiece 2000 to be processed on the rotating platform 10; (5) The detection device 200 of the processing equipment 1000 detects the current angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 located on the rotary platform 10 through the probe 20, and calculates the angle difference and flatness difference through the current angle and flatness and the target angle and flatness, so that the processing equipment 1000 controls the leveling mechanism 40 and the rotary drive assembly 32 to drive the rotary platform 10 to move in order to adjust the angle and flatness of the workpiece 2000 according to the angle difference and flatness difference; (6) The processing equipment 1000 confirms whether the adjustment is complete by using the feedback signals from the first sensor 61 and the second sensor 63.
