[0024] The present invention provides a large-scale rolling tool spatial posture simulation mechanism, which can fully simulate various positions and postures of the large-scale rolling tool, so that the robot arm can simulate the tool changing process, thereby verifying the feasibility of autonomous tool changing.

[0025] As shown in FIG1 to FIG7 , the present invention provides a large-scale rolling tool spatial posture simulation mechanism.

[0026] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2, it can be seen that the forward and backward moving mechanism 2 is installed on the frame base plate 1. The forward and backward moving mechanism 2 is composed of a square steel frame 7. Rollers 8 are installed at the bottom of the square steel frame 7 for moving forward and backward. Side reinforcing ribs 9 are installed on the square steel frame 7 to increase the stability of the square steel frame. The left and right sides of the square steel frame 7 are installed on the two side square steel frames 11 through linear bearings and lateral guide shafts 10. The two side square steel frames 11 are installed on the frame base plate 1. The two side square steel frames 11 are connected together through left and right connecting frames 12. The square steel frame 7 can move forward and backward on the frame base plate 1 through the rollers 8. The moving distance is limited by the lateral guide shafts 10, while increasing the rigidity of the overall frame.

[0027] 3 , the left-right moving mechanism 3 is mounted on the square steel frame 7 through four pairs of linear guide shafts 13 and linear bearings 14 . The linear bearings 14 are mounted behind the large base plate 15 of the left-right moving mechanism, and the left-right movement is achieved by moving the large base plate 15 .

[0028] 4 , it can be seen that the up and down lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the large base plate 15 of the left and right moving mechanism 3. The up and down lifting mechanism 4 mainly realizes movement through the trapezoidal lead screw 16 and the slider 17. The upper and lower ends of the trapezoidal lead screw 16 are equipped with bearing seats 18. The lower end of the trapezoidal lead screw 16 is connected to the lifting reducer 19. The lifting reducer 19 is connected to the rotating wheel 21 through the extension shaft 20. The lifting base plate 22 is installed on the lead screw slider 17. The lifting base plate 22 is connected to the up and down moving plate 24 through the side connecting block 23. The up and down moving plate 24 is installed on the guide rail base plate 26 through four pairs of up and down lifting guide rail sliders 25 on the left and right. The guide rail base plate 26 is installed on the large base plate 15 through the two side columns 27, which ensures that the load is subjected to bending torque when lifting up and down, thereby increasing the stability of the up and down lifting mechanism 4.

[0029] 5 , it can be seen that the rotating mechanism 5 is mounted on the lifting base plate 22 , and a rotating reducer 28 is mounted on the lifting base plate 22 . The input end of the rotating reducer 28 is connected to the rotating wheel 21 , and the output end of the rotating reducer 28 is connected to a gear 29 , which is engaged with a slewing support 30 . The fixed end of the slewing support 30 is mounted on the lifting base plate 22 , and the output end of the slewing support 30 is connected to the rotating base plate 31 . A limiting auxiliary column 32 is mounted on the lifting base plate 22 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 5 and prevent it from falling in an accidental situation.

[0030] As shown in Figures 6 and 7 , the pitch mechanism 6 is mounted on a rotating baseplate 31, on which a left pitch bearing block 33 and a right pitch bearing block 34 are mounted. The left pitch bearing block 33 is connected to a pitch reducer 35, the input of which is connected to the runner 21, and the output of which is connected to a pitch transmission plate 36. One end of the pitch transmission plate 36 is connected to the left pitch bearing block 33 via a double-row tapered roller bearing 37, while the other end of the pitch transmission plate 36 is connected to a load frame 38. The other end of the load frame 38 is mounted on the right pitch bearing block 34 via a pitch support 39 and a tapered roller bearing 37. This pitch mechanism 6 ensures that the center of rotation is as close to the geometric center as possible, while also strengthening the support at both ends, ensuring reliable operation of the pitch reducer.
