[0040] The tray body 1 is provided with storage slots 11 arranged in an array, a support tube 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the storage slot 11, and a through hole is provided on the bottom surface of the storage slot 11 inside the support tube 12;

[0041] The airbag 2 is disposed in the storage groove 11 and is mounted on the support tube 12. The airbag 2 is provided with an air tube 21. One end of the air tube 21 is provided with an air supply connector. The air supply connector is provided on the surface of the disc body 1. The surface of the disc body 1 is provided with a connecting tube 13. The air supply connector is provided inside the connecting tube 13.

[0042] The floating plate 3 is disposed in the receiving groove 11. A threaded post 31 is disposed on the back of the floating plate 3. The threaded post 31 passes through the support tube 12 and is connected to a nut 32. The airbag 2 contacts the back of the floating plate 3. The automobile component 9 is placed on the floating plate 3.

[0043] The pressing member 4 includes a seat body 41 and a pressing plate 42 . The seat body 41 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 13 , and the pressing plate 42 extends to above the receiving groove 11 .

[0044] In order to solve the problem that existing pallets cannot achieve universal positioning of automobile parts with different thicknesses but similar shapes, a floating plate 3 with adjustable height is provided in the storage groove 11 on the tray body 1, so that the depth of the storage groove 11 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the automobile part. After the automobile part is placed in the storage groove 11, the upper surface of the automobile part is flush with the upper surface of the tray body 1 and is pressed by the pressure plate 42 of the clamping member 4, thereby achieving full positioning of the automobile part. The tray body 1 can achieve compatible positioning of automobile parts with different thicknesses but similar shapes.

[0045] The seat body 41 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip ribs 411 arranged circumferentially to facilitate the rotation of the pressing member 4 .

[0046] A rubber cushion layer is provided on the surface of the floating plate 3 to prevent the unstable positioning of the automobile component 9 caused by the uneven surface of the floating plate 3 and to avoid scratching the surface of the automobile component 9.

[0047] Working Principle: To adjust the height of the floating plate 3, the maximum height of the floating plate 3 is controlled by rotating the nut 32 on the threaded column 31. The air supply connector is then connected to the air source, supplying air to the airbag 2 through the air tube 21, causing the airbag 2 to inflate and lift the floating plate 3. Because the floating plate 3 can only rise a limited distance, the air supply is stopped when the air pressure in the airbag 2 reaches the set value, allowing the floating plate 3 to remain stable at the set highest point. The connecting tube 13 conceals and protects the air supply connector, while the compression member 4 is threadedly connected to the connecting tube 13 via the base 41. This not only further conceals and protects the air supply connector, but also allows it to descend as the compression member 4 rotates, allowing the compression plate 42 to press against the vehicle component 9.
