The first conveying device 4 is used to transfer products from the product positioning device 2 to the product loading device 1; the second conveying device 5 is used to transfer carriers between the product loading device 1 and the hanger fixing device 3.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the product is a square product with four corners embedded with positioning pieces for connecting with the spring sheet, and the positioning piece is provided with a positioning hole for inserting a fork of the spring sheet.

[0037] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the product loading device 1 includes a loading platform 11, a bracket 12 provided on the loading platform 11, and a side pushing mechanism 13 symmetrically provided on both sides of the bracket 12.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the spacing between the first receiving block 124 and the second receiving block 125 is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to actual conditions, as long as there is no mutual interference in the taking and placing of the carrier 62. The number of the receiving plates 123 is set to correspond to the number of the connecting frames 622 of the carrier 62 , that is, the number of the receiving plates 123 is set to correspond to the number of products pre-set on a single side of the carrier 62 .

[0039] During use, both ends of the carrier 62 are simultaneously attached to the first receiving block 124 or the second receiving block 125, and the opening direction of the spring piece 623 is arranged opposite to the plane of the loading platform 11. The lifting drive member 121 can be equipped with two carriers 62 at the same time, enabling continuous loading of products and the carriers 62, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0040] Optionally, the connecting bridge 122 is provided with a limiting protrusion on the plane of both ends of the lifting drive member 121 for limiting the end of the carrier 62. Optionally, the receiving plate 123 is further provided with a sensor for detecting whether the product is aligned.

[0041] The side pushing mechanism 13 is arranged corresponding to the receiving plate 123 , and the side pushing mechanism 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving plate 123 . The two symmetrically arranged side pushing mechanisms 13 constitute a group, and the number of groups of the side pushing mechanism 13 is the same as the number of the receiving plates 123 .

[0042] The side pushing mechanism 13 includes a support 131 provided on the upper loading platform 11, a sliding driving member 132 provided on the support 131 and with its telescopic end facing the bracket 12, a slider 133 connected to the telescopic end of the sliding driving member 132, a slide plate 134 connected to the slider 133, claws 135 symmetrically provided at both ends of the slide plate 134, and a stopper 136 provided on the claw 135 and matching the edge profile of the product; the support 131 and the areas corresponding to the two ends of the slide plate 134 are provided with a stopper for the slide plate 134 to move. Sliding rail; the side of the clamping claw 135 close to the bracket 12 is provided with a clamping groove 1351 for clamping the spring piece 623 close to the fork of the connecting frame 622, and the main body of the clamping claw 135 is also provided with a socket for allowing the spring piece 623 to pass through away from the fork of the connecting frame 622; the socket is a long hole arranged along the moving direction of the clamping claw 135; the side of the stop block 136 facing the bracket 12 is provided with a notch for inserting the spring piece 623 away from the forked hanging branch of the bracket 12 to prevent the hanging branch from damaging the product.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, when in use: the sliding drive member 132 drives the slider 133 to move toward the direction close to the elastic piece 623, and then drives the slide plate 134 to move along the slide rail toward the direction close to the elastic piece 623, and then drives the claw 135 to approach the elastic piece 623. As the claw 135 moves, the fork close to the claw 135 is inserted into the socket, and the slot 1351 abuts against the other fork. As the claw 135 moves, the elastic piece 623 is pushed sideways to the installation position with the product, and the fork abutting against the slot 1351 is inserted into the positioning hole of the product; the telescopic end of the sliding drive member 132 moves in the opposite direction, so that the claw 135 moves away from the elastic piece 623, and the fork provided in the socket disengages from the socket and rebounds, thereby completing the clamping of the product by the elastic piece 623. The sliding drive members 132 on the side push mechanisms 13 on both sides of the bracket 12 synchronously drive the clamping claws 135 to move in opposite directions, synchronously clamping the ends of the product, thereby allowing the product to be loaded onto the carrier 62.

[0044] Preferably, the claw 135 is slidably connected to the slide 134, and a buffer member connected to the claw 135 is provided on a side of the slide 134 away from the locking slot 1351. The buffer member is compressed and contracts when the claw 135 is subjected to a large force, preventing the claw 135 from overpressing the spring 623, thereby avoiding damage to the spring 623 and the product.

[0045] A side push mechanism 13 simultaneously pushes two springs 623 on the same side of the connecting frame 622, ensuring the consistency of the movement of the springs 623. To further improve the operational stability of the side push mechanism 13, the side push mechanism 13 includes three synchronously moving sliding drive members 132, and the slider 133 is simultaneously connected to the telescopic ends of the three sliding drive members 132.

The positioning protrusion corresponds to the positioning hole provided on the product and is inserted into the positioning hole when the product is placed. A sliding member that cooperates with the linear guide 221 is provided at the corresponding portion of the mounting plate 223 and the linear guide 221. The positioning jig may also be equipped with a sensor to detect whether the product is properly aligned.

[0048] During use, the product is placed on the positioning jig 23 , and the positioning drive 222 drives the mounting plate 223 to slide along the linear guide rail 221 , thereby transporting the product on the positioning jig 23 toward the direction close to the first transmission device 4 .

[0049] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hanger fixing device 3 includes a fixing frame 31 and a locking mechanism 32 disposed at the top of the fixing frame 31 and used to connect to the hanger 6.

[0052] The clamping assembly 323 includes a vertical plate 3231 perpendicular to the carrier plate 321 , a lifting drive member 3232 disposed on the vertical plate 3231 with the telescopic end facing downward, and a clamping slot plate 3233 connected to the telescopic end of the lifting drive member 3232 .

[0053] Corresponding holes are provided on the areas corresponding to the telescopic ends of the carrier plate 321 and the lifting drive member 3232 for passing through; further preferably, in order to improve the stability of the operation of the clamping assembly 323, a transfer assembly is provided between the telescopic end of the lifting drive member 3232 and the clamping slot plate 3233, and the transfer assembly includes a transfer plate connected to the telescopic end of the lifting drive member 3232 and a transfer rod vertically symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the transfer plate, and the clamping slot plate 3233 is connected to the bottom end of the transfer rod.

[0055] During use: the telescopic end of the first straightening drive member 3221 contracts, driving the support plate downward, thereby driving the guide plate 3224 downward. The telescopic end of the second straightening drive member 3223 moves toward each other, thereby driving the guide plates 3224 toward each other. The bottom of the guide plates 3224 inserts into the side of the support frame 611 of the hanger 6, thereby allowing the guide plates 3224 to guide and support both sides of the hanger 6. The telescopic end of the lifting drive member 3232 moves downward, driving the clamping slot plate 3233 to move toward the top of the hanger 6, thereby causing the clamping slot plate 3233 to clamp the elastic connection portion of the hanger 6. Alternatively, the elastic connection portion may be a bent elastic sheet, which, when connected to the clamping slot plate 3233, achieves a secure connection with the clamping slot plate 3233 by exerting force on the clamping slot plate 3233.
