One end of the telescopic plate is connected to the second telescopic cylinder 23, and the second telescopic cylinder 23 is installed on the processing station frame 22.

[0033] In the application of this embodiment, the two connecting grooves 14 of the carrier tray 1 are respectively sleeved on the two loading and unloading station frames, and then the wire harness plugs are installed on the carrier tray 1 one by one. Then, the two first telescopic cylinders 33 are simultaneously started to drive the two loading and unloading station frames to move towards the processing station module 2. Then, the processing lifting component 21 is powered on to drive the lifting bracket 22 to move downward; so that the two connecting bolts 24 are respectively inserted into the corresponding connecting grooves 14, the processing lifting component 21 is turned off, and then the second telescopic cylinder 23 is started to drive the telescopic plate to move towards the carrier tray 1, abutting against the bottom of the fixed plate 11 of the carrier tray 1. The processing lifting component 21 is started again to drive the lifting bracket 22 to move upward, moving the carrier tray 1 to the processing station.

[0034] During application, when the wire harness plugs on the carrier tray 1 are filled with wire harnesses, the two first telescopic cylinders 33 are started to move the loading and unloading station module 3 below the processing station module 2. The processing lifting component 21 is powered on to drive the lifting bracket 22 to move downward; so that the two connecting bolts 24 are respectively inserted into the corresponding connecting grooves 14, the processing lifting component 21 is turned off, and the second telescopic cylinder 23 is started to drive the telescopic plate to move towards the original station direction, away from the bottom of the fixed plate 11; the processing lifting component 21 is started again to drive the lifting bracket 22 to move upward; the two first telescopic cylinders 33 are started again to make the loading and unloading station module 3 return to its original position, remove the wire harness plugs with the inserted wire harnesses, and reinstall the wire harness plugs without inserted wires.

[0035] The present invention enables the device to automatically complete the movement of the carrier plate between the loading / unloading station and the processing station by providing a carrier plate with a fixing plate and a connecting groove, in cooperation with the loading / unloading station module and the processing station module.

A spare carrier plate 1 is placed on the transition switching column 43. When needed, the transition lifting assembly 41 is started to drive the transition station frame 42 to move upward, and the transition lifting assembly 41 is turned off. Then the first telescopic cylinder 33 is started to drive the loading / unloading station module 3 to move towards the transition station module 4. When the loading / unloading station module 3 moves below the transition station module 4, the transition lifting assembly 41 is started again to drive the transition station module 4 to move downward. After the two connecting grooves 14 of the carrier plate 1 are respectively sleeved on the corresponding connecting columns 32, the transition station module 4 continues to move downward.
