[0002] The steering knuckle arm is the last stage of the steering transmission device. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main arm, and an axial hole is opened at the end of the main arm. In the prior art, when processing the steering arm, round steel is first partially upset, and then pre-forging and final forging are directly performed. After the burrs are cut off, a forged blank is obtained, and then machining is performed.
[0003] In the forging process of the steering knuckle arm, the steering knuckle arm needs to be pushed to the forging table for forging processing, which is the loading process of the steering knuckle arm. Traditionally, the loading of the steering knuckle arm is mostly done manually, that is, after the steering knuckle arm is heat treated, the operator clamps the steering knuckle arm and transfers it to the forging table. However, this manual loading method has the disadvantages of being time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the steering knuckle arm is difficult to control. For this reason, the present application proposes an automatic feeding device for forging a steering knuckle arm. Utility Model Content

In addition, by the rotating installation and driving structure of the support arm 5, the support arm 5 is driven to rotate, and the horizontal angle of the sliding arm 7 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the automatic feeding angle of the steering knuckle arm, thereby creating favorable conditions for the forging of the steering knuckle arm on the basis of automatic feeding.
[0026] As a preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, the driving structure includes a shell cover 19 fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 4, a driven gear 20 rotatably mounted in the shell cover 19, a driving motor 21 fixed on the shell cover 19, and a driving gear 22 mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 21.
