For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in combination with specific circumstances.

[0054] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0055] This embodiment relates to a rod loading device, comprising a material storage part 2, a first conveying part and a second conveying part sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the rod 6. The material storage part 2 has a material storage bin and an outlet 100 communicated with the material storage bin.

[0056] Among them, the first conveying part includes a first lifting mechanism arranged at the outlet 100, a first conveying plate 3 arranged downstream of the first lifting mechanism, and a conveying platform 301 arranged on two opposite sides of the first conveying plate 3, and an upper conveying track is defined between the conveying platforms 301 on both sides, and a lower conveying track is defined with the first conveying plate 3, and the first lifting mechanism can push the rod body 6 output from the outlet 100 onto the upper conveying track.

[0057] The second conveying part includes a second conveying plate 4 disposed downstream of the first conveying plate 3, and a material drop opening 200 disposed between the first conveying plate 3 and the second conveying plate 4, and the second conveying plate 4 is used to convey the rod body 6 on the upper conveying track to a preset position. The width of the lower conveying track is smaller than that of the upper conveying track, and the length of the material drop opening 200 is the same as the width of the upper conveying track.

[0058] The rod body loading device of this embodiment can push the rod body 6 onto the upper conveying track by arranging a first lifting mechanism at the outlet 100 of the discharge bin. The width of the lower conveying track is smaller than that of the upper conveying track, so that the upper conveying track conveys the rod body 6 that meets the target length, and the lower conveying track conveys the rod body 6 that does not meet the target length.

[0059] In addition, through the drop opening 200 between the first conveying plate 3 and the second conveying plate 4, and the length of the drop opening is the same as the width of the upper conveying track, the rod body 6 on the lower conveying track is dropped into the drop opening 200, and the rod 6 on the upper conveying track is supported at the drop opening 200 and conveyed to the preset position through the second conveying plate 4. Such a setting can detect the length of the rod body 6 during the feeding process of the rod body 6, and convey the rod body 6 that meets the target length to the preset position, which is not only conducive to improving the feeding efficiency of the rod body 6 and reducing labor intensity, but also can screen out the rod body 6 with a shorter length, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the rod body 6, as well as the assembly and use effect of the product.

[0060] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the feeding device described in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the structure of the material storage unit 2 is first described below. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the material storage part 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and includes a front side plate 201 and a rear side plate 202 arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the rod body 6, a left side plate 203 and a right side plate 204 connected between the same sides of the two, and a bottom plate 211 arranged at the bottom of the four side plates. The outlet 100 is located at the rear end of the bottom plate 211.

[0061] An adjustment plate 205 is provided between the front side plate 201 and the rear side plate 202, and is arranged close to the left side plate 203 and parallel to the left side plate 203. In this embodiment, the adjustment plate 205, the front side plate 201, the rear side plate 202 and the bottom plate 211 together define the above-mentioned storage bin, and the spacing between the adjustment plate 205 and the right side plate 204 is equal to the target length of the rod body 6, which is conducive to preventing the rod body 6 longer than the target length from entering the storage bin.

[0062] Preferably, at least one side wall of the storage bin can be moved so that the width of the storage bin is adapted to the rod body 6, thereby meeting the use requirements of different rod bodies and having good use flexibility. Specifically, by adjusting the adjustment plate 205, the spacing between the adjustment plate 205 and the right side plate 204 is adjustable, and the feeding requirements of rod bodies 6 of different target lengths can be met according to different use requirements.

[0063] As a preferred example, Figure 4As shown in the figure, the bottom wall of the storage bin is an inclined surface that tilts downward toward the outlet 100 end, that is, the bottom plate 211 is tilted downward from front to back along the conveying direction of the rod body 6, and the above-mentioned outlet 100 is specifically located at the bottom end of the bottom plate 211. This is conducive to guiding the rod body 6 to fall to the outlet 100, thereby improving the feeding effect of the rod body 6.

[0064] To adjust the distance between the adjustment plate 205 and the right side plate 204, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a screw rod 206 is provided on the right side plate 204. The screw rod 206 is screwed to the right side plate 204 and is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 205. When the screw rod 206 is driven to rotate, the adjustment plate 205 can be moved closer to or away from the right side plate 204, thereby changing the distance between the two, and then defining the target length of the rod body 6. In order to facilitate the operation of the screw rod 206, a hand wheel 209 is provided on the outer side of the screw rod 206 located on the right side plate 204. Here, the adjustment plate 205 is adjusted by the screw rod 206, which has the advantages of simple adjustment method and easy implementation. Of course, other adjustment structures can also be used during implementation, as long as the use requirements are met.

[0065] Furthermore, a guide unit is provided between the adjustment plate 205 and the right side plate 204 to guide the adjustment plate 205 to approach or move away from the right side plate 204. For example, the guide unit includes two first guide posts 207 provided on the adjustment plate 205, and a guide sleeve 208 provided on the right side plate 204 for each first guide post 207 to pass through. When the adjustment plate 205 moves, the first guide posts 207 are guided to slide in the corresponding guide sleeves 208, thereby facilitating the stability of the adjustment plate 205 during movement.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, a baffle plate 210 is provided in the storage bin upstream of the outlet 100, and a material passing port is defined between the bottom surface of the baffle plate 210 and the inner wall of the storage bin. The baffle plate 210 is provided to form a material passing port, which is beneficial to limit the material passing height of the rod body 6, thereby facilitating the material dropping effect of the rod body 6 in the storage bin.

[0067] In terms of specific structure, Figure 4 As shown in , a slot for inserting the material baffle plate 210 is provided at the top of the adjustment plate 205. In the inserted state, the two ends of the material baffle plate 210 abut against the inner walls of the right side plate 204 and the left side plate 203 respectively. The two ends of the material baffle plate 210 are fixed in the storage bin by bolts passing through the side plates and the screw connection of the material baffle plate 210. Here, the structure of the material baffle plate 210 is simple, easy to install, and has a good use effect. Furthermore, the position of the adjustment plate 205 in the height direction of the storage bin is adjustable to adjust the height of the feeding port. The height of the feeding port is adjustable, which is conducive to meeting the use requirements of different rod bodies 6, improving the flexibility of use, and having good versatility.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a plurality of first connection holes 214 are arranged at intervals in the upper and lower directions at both ends of the adjustment plate 205, and two long holes are arranged at intervals in the upper and lower directions on the right plate 204 and the left plate 203 corresponding to the two ends of the adjustment plate 205. By changing the bolt passing through the long holes and different first connection holes 214, the height of the material blocking plate 210 can be changed, thereby adjusting the height of the material passing port. Here, the height adjustment method of the adjustment plate 205 is simple and easy to operate and implement.

[0069] Preferably, the first lifting mechanism includes a fourth driving part, a first lifting structure provided at the driving end of the first driving part, and the first lifting structure includes a first lifting member 7 provided corresponding to the outlet 100. In terms of specific structure, Figures 3 to 6 As shown in the figure, the first lifting member 7 is plate-shaped, located at the front side of the rear side plate 202, and is slidably arranged at the outlet 100 along the height direction of the frame 1. In order to facilitate the first lifting member 7 to receive the driving force of the fourth driving unit, a connecting block 212 is provided at the bottom end of the first lifting member 7. The fourth driving unit is a fourth driving cylinder arranged below the bottom plate 211, and the power output end of the fourth cylinder 213 is connected to the connecting block 212 to drive the first lifting member 7 to move up and down, and can lift the rod body 6 at the outlet 100 to the feeding end of the first conveying plate 3, and make the rod body 6 enter the first conveying plate 3.

[0070] In order to improve the stability of the first lifting member 7 in the up and down sliding, a guide unit is also provided between the first lifting member 7 and the rear side plate 202. For example, the guide unit includes step bolts connected to both sides of the first lifting member 7, and a guide ring 701 rotatably provided on the bare rod part of the step bolt. When the first lifting member 7 moves up and down, the guide ring 701 can abut against the side wall of the rear side plate 202 and rotate around the step bolt, thereby facilitating the improvement of the stability of the first lifting member 7 in the up and down sliding.

[0071] In addition, the bottom of the rear side plate 202 is extended downward, and the first lifting member 7 can abut against the bottom of the rear side plate 202 when it is located below the outlet 100. This arrangement allows the rear side plate 202 to guide the first lifting member 7 that slides up and down, thereby further improving the stability of the first lifting member 7. As a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the first lifting member 7 is tilted downward along the conveying direction of the rod body 6. This arrangement allows a supporting space for the rod body 6 to be formed between the top surface of the first lifting member 7 and the front side wall of the rear side plate 202, thereby improving the lifting effect of the rod body 6.

[0072] In this embodiment, the input end of the first conveying plate 3 is located at the rear side of the top of the rear side plate 202, and is arranged downwardly from front to rear along the conveying direction of the rod body 6, so as to facilitate the rod body 6 to be conveyed on the first conveying plate 3 by its own gravity. To facilitate the arrangement of the first conveying plate 3, a plurality of vertically arranged front support plates 302 arranged at intervals are further provided between the front end of the first conveying plate 3 and the frame 1, and a horizontally arranged rear support plate 305 is provided at the rear end of the first conveying plate 3, so as to facilitate the connection of a plurality of first columns between the rear support plate 305 and the frame 1.

[0073] The structure of the conveying platform 301 in this embodiment is as follows Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the conveying platform 301 on each side is L-shaped, and has a lower limit surface 3012 located at the inner side of the bottom, and an upper limit surface 3011 located at the top and arranged outside, and a supporting surface 3013 arranged parallel to the upper surface of the first conveying plate 3 is defined between the lower limit surface 3012 and the upper limit surface 3011, and the supporting surface 3013 is connected to the top surface of the rear side plate 202. The distance between the two upper limit surfaces 3011 is greater than the distance between the two lower limit surfaces 3012.

[0074] The upper conveying track is formed between the two upper limit surfaces 3011 and the corresponding upper supporting surface 3013, and the lower conveying track is formed between the two lower limit surfaces 3012 and the first conveying plate 3. The rod body 6 conveyed to the first conveying plate 3 enters the upper conveying track through the upper supporting surface 3013 and is conveyed backward. The rod body 6 whose length is shorter than the target length enters the lower conveying track and is conveyed backward.

[0075] In this embodiment, by making the width of the upper conveying track greater than the width of the lower conveying track, it is beneficial to separate the rod body 6 that meets the target length and the rod body 6 that is shorter than the target length, thereby facilitating the detection of the length of the rod body 6. The length of the rod body 6 can also be detected during the conveyance of the rod body 6, which is beneficial to improving the continuity of feeding.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, the spacing between the conveying platforms 301 on both sides is adjustable to adjust the width of the upper conveying track and the lower conveying track. The width of the upper conveying track and the lower conveying track is adjustable, which is conducive to length detection of rods 6 of different lengths, thereby improving the versatility of use.

[0077] In terms of specific structure, Fig. 9As shown in , each conveyor platform 301 is provided with two first mounting holes 3014 spaced apart along its length direction, and the first conveyor plate 3 is provided with a plurality of first mounting matching holes spaced apart corresponding to the width direction of the conveyor platform 301. By adjusting the matching position between the mounting holes and the mounting matching holes, and then fixing the conveyor platform 301 on the first conveyor plate 3 by bolts, the spacing between the conveyor platforms 301 on both sides can be adjusted. Here, the spacing adjustment method between the conveyor platforms 301 is simple, easy to arrange and implement, and has a good adjustment effect. Of course, the adjustment structure of the spacing between the two conveyor platforms 301 can also be adopted in other ways, as long as the use requirements are met.

[0078] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the height of the input end of the second conveying plate 4 is greater than the height of the output end of the first conveying plate 3. The rod body loading device includes a second jacking mechanism arranged corresponding to the blanking port 200, and the second jacking mechanism is used to push the rod body 6 on the upper conveying track onto the second conveying plate 4. The rod body 6 on the upper conveying track at the blanking port 200 is pushed onto the second conveying plate 4 by the second jacking mechanism, which facilitates the rod body 6 to continue to be transported backward to a preset position via the second conveying plate 4.

[0079] In terms of detailed structure, a first vertical plate 303 is provided between the rear end of the first conveying plate 3 and the rear support plate 305, a second vertical plate 403 is provided between the front end of the second conveying plate 4 and the rear support plate 305, the first vertical plate 303 and the second vertical plate 403 are arranged at intervals, and the first vertical plate 303 is L-shaped and can be connected to one end of the second vertical plate 403, and a stopper 306 is provided between the other end of the second vertical plate 403 and the first vertical plate 303 at the same end. The stopper 306, the first vertical plate 303 and the second vertical plate 403 form the above-mentioned drop opening 200.

[0080] Preferably, the length of the blanking opening 200 is adjustable. In terms of specific structure, there are multiple limit blocks 306 of different lengths, and each limit block 306 is inserted between the first vertical plate 303 and the second vertical plate 403. With such a configuration, by replacing the limit blocks 306 of different lengths, the length of the blanking opening 200 can be adjusted. Specifically, the front and rear sides of each limit block 306 are provided with a positioning protrusion that is convexly arranged, and the first vertical plate 303 and the second vertical plate 403 are provided with an insertion groove for the positioning protrusion to be inserted. Of course, in this embodiment, the solution of providing the limit blocks 306 at both ends of the first vertical plate 303 and the second vertical plate 403 is also feasible.

[0081] In addition, if Figure 8As shown in , both sides of the second conveying plate 4 are provided with stoppers 401 extending along the length direction thereof, and a conveying space for the rod body 6 is defined between the two stoppers 401 and the second conveying plate 4. The second lifting mechanism in this embodiment includes a first driving part and a lifting structure provided at the driving end of the first driving part. The lifting structure includes a lifting member provided corresponding to the blanking port 200, and a blanking box formed with the lifting member to form a blanking bin 304, and the blanking bin 304 is used to receive the rod body 6 dropped from the blanking port 200.

[0082] In this embodiment, the lifting member in the lifting structure is conducive to conveying the rod body 6 from the upper conveying track to the second conveying plate 4, and a blanking box with a blanking bin 304 is formed on the lifting member, which is conducive to pushing and conveying the rod body 6 on the upper conveying track while also being able to collect the rod body 6 on the lower conveying track that is shorter than the target length, thereby facilitating centralized processing of the rod body 6.

[0083] In this embodiment, the structure of the second conveying plate 4 is as follows Figure 8 As shown in , the stoppers 401 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second conveying block. To improve the use flexibility of the second conveying plate 4, a matching block 402 extending along the length direction of the second conveying plate 4 is arranged on the inner side of one of the stoppers 401. At this time, a space for the rod body 6 to pass through is defined between the matching block 402 and the other stopper 401. The matching block 402 can be detachably installed on the second conveying plate 4. According to the use requirements of different lengths, matching blocks 402 of different thicknesses can be selected to be installed, so that the distance between the matching block 402 and the opposite side block 401 can be adjusted.

[0084] To distinguish it from the first lifting member 7, the lifting member in the second lifting mechanism is referred to as the second lifting member 9. The second lifting member 9 is also plate-shaped, and the blanking box is located at the rear side of the bottom of the second positioning member to collect the rods 6 with unqualified lengths.

[0085] like Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the first driving part includes a first cylinder 702 arranged on the frame 1, and the first cylinder 702 is located on the frame 1 below the blanking box and is connected to the bottom of the blanking box to drive the second lifting member 9 to slide up and down, and lift the rod body 6 supported at the blanking port 200 to the second conveying plate 4. In order to improve the stability of the second lifting member 9 during the lifting process, protruding blocks are respectively provided at both ends of the blanking box, and the protrusions are all provided through the second guide column 307. When the second lifting member 9 slides up and down, the sliding stability of the second lifting member 9 can be ensured by the guided sliding of the protrusion on the second guide column 307.

[0086] Combination Fig.11As shown in , in order to further improve the use effect of the second lifting member 9, the second lifting member 9 is provided with a guide surface 901, and the guide surface 901 is used to guide the rod body 6 dropped from the drop port 200 into the drop bin 304. The guide surface 901 here is arranged upwardly along the conveying direction of the rod body 6. In this embodiment, by providing the guide surface 901 on the lifting member, it is convenient to guide the rod body 6 to fall into the drop bin 304, and the structure of the guide surface 901 is simple and easy to process and form.

[0087] Still refer to Fig.11 As shown, in order to further improve the collection effect of the rod body 6 falling into the blanking port 200, an inclined guide surface 3041 is also provided on the side of the bottom end of the second vertical plate 403 facing the blanking box, so as to facilitate the rod body 6 to enter the blanking box. In addition, two mounting seats 101 located below the blanking box are provided on the frame 1, and a buffer 1011 is provided on the top of each mounting seat 101. During the downward movement of the blanking box, the buffer 1011 is abutted against the bottom of the blanking box to buffer the blanking box. At the same time, the buffer 1011 can also limit the downward movement of the blanking box, thereby limiting the height of the blanking box and the initial height of the second lifting member 9.

[0088] As a preferred embodiment, Figures 12 to 15 As shown in , the rod body feeding device in this embodiment also includes a detection platform 5 and a guide channel 300 arranged downstream of the second conveying part, and a second driving part that drives the detection platform 5 to slide back and forth along the conveying direction of the rod body 6. The guide channel 300 is used to guide the rod body 6 on the second conveying plate 4 to fall on the detection platform 5, and the detection platform 5 is provided with a support groove 501, and the notch of the support groove 501 is provided with an outward-expanded support surface 502. Here, the rod body 6 on the second conveying plate 4 is guided to fall on the detection platform 5 through the guide channel 300, and the detection platform 5 is provided with a support groove 501, and the notch of the support groove 501 is provided with an outward-expanded support surface 502, which is conducive to detecting whether there are knurling at both ends of the rod body 6, thereby further improving the detection and feeding accuracy of the rod body.

[0089] In terms of specific structure, in order to facilitate the formation of the above-mentioned guide channel 300, a third vertical plate 404 extending downward is provided at the rear end of the second conveying plate 4, and a fourth vertical plate 405 located at the rear side of the third vertical plate 404. The fourth vertical plate 405 is U-shaped, and its two sides are respectively connected to the two sides of the third vertical plate 404, and the guide channel 300 is formed between the two. The width of the guide channel 300 is adapted to the width of the rod body 6, so that the multiple rod bodies 6 in the guide channel 300 are arranged in parallel up and down, and the rod bodies 6 are output one by one from the guide channel 300. In addition, connecting plates 308 are respectively connected between the two sides of the rear end of the second conveying plate 4 and the third vertical plate 404 to improve the connection strength between the second conveying plate 4 and the third vertical plate 404.

[0090] Still combined Figures 12 to 15 As shown in , the support grooves 501 on the detection platform 5 in this embodiment are located at two opposite sides of one end of the detection platform 5, and the support grooves 501 on the same side are arranged at intervals, so that two rods 6 can be detected at the same time, thereby improving the detection efficiency. When the two ends of the rod 6 have knurling, the diameters of the two ends of the rod 6 are larger due to the setting of the knurling, and the support surface 502 can support the rod 6. When the two ends of the rod 6 do not have knurling, the rod 6 will fall into the support grooves 501. Of course, the number of support grooves 501 can also be adjusted according to usage requirements.

[0091] In this embodiment, the second driving part is a second cylinder provided on the frame 1, and the power output end of the second cylinder is connected to the detection platform 5 to drive the detection platform 5 to slide forward and backward, so that the support groove 501 can be located at the discharge port of the guide channel 300, thereby supporting the rod body 6. In order to improve the stability of the detection platform 5 during sliding, a slide rail 103 extending in the front-to-back direction is provided on the frame 1, and the detection platform 5 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 103.

[0092] When the second cylinder drives the inspection platform 5 to slide toward one side of the guide channel 300, the rod body 6 therein can fall into the corresponding two support grooves 501 in sequence. When the rod body 6 falls to the bottom of the support groove 501, it means that there is no knurling on the rod body 6, and when both ends of the rod body 6 are supported on the support surface 502, it means that there is knurling on the rod body 6.

[0093] As a preferred embodiment, the rod loading device in this embodiment further includes a blocking mechanism disposed on one side of the guide channel 300. The blocking mechanism includes a third driving unit and a blocking member 801 disposed at a driving end of the third driving unit, and the third driving unit can drive the blocking member 801 to be inserted into the guide channel 300 to block the rod 6 from falling onto the detection platform 5. The third driving unit drives the blocking member 801 to be inserted into the guide channel 300 to block the rod 6 from falling onto the detection platform 5, which is beneficial for the rod 6 to fall onto the detection platform 5 in sequence, thereby facilitating the orderly use of the detection platform 5.

[0094] In terms of specific structure, Fig.14 and Fig.15As shown in , the third driving part is two third cylinders 8 arranged at intervals in the width direction on the front side of the third vertical plate 404, and the blocking member 801 is connected to the power output end of the third cylinder 8. Corresponding to each blocking member 801, a through hole 4041 is provided on the third vertical plate 404. Under the drive of the third cylinder 8, the blocking members 801 extend into the guide channel 300 through the corresponding through hole 1041 and abut against the fourth vertical plate 405, thereby blocking the rod body 6 from continuing to be discharged. In order to improve the use effect of the blocking member 801, one end of the blocking member 801 inserted into the guide channel 300 is conical. When the second cylinder drives the detection platform 5 to slide forward, the blocking member 801 releases the blocking of the rod body 6, so that the two rod bodies 6 are successively dropped to the two support grooves 501.

[0095] As a preferred embodiment, the rod body feeding device further includes a detection unit provided on one side of the detection platform 5. The detection unit is provided corresponding to the support surface 502 to detect the rod body 6 on the support surface 502. By providing the detection unit to detect the rod body 6 on the support surface 502, it is convenient to know whether there is knurling on the rod body 6, thereby further improving the automation effect of the detection and the continuous feeding of the rod body 6.

[0096] In terms of specific structure, Figures 12 to 15 As shown in , a mounting plate 102 is provided on the frame 1 and is located outside each support groove 501 in the initial state. The detection unit includes a through-beam photoelectric switch provided on each mounting plate 102, and a detection hole 1021 extending along the length direction of the detection table 5 is provided on the mounting plate 102. The detection line of the through-beam photoelectric switch is projected toward the rod body 6 on the support surface 502 through the detection hole 1021, so as to facilitate determining whether there is a rod body 6 on the support surface 502. The rod body 6 that falls into the bottom of the support groove 501 cannot enter the detection range of the position sensor, and the equipment alarms to remind the operator. If the position sensor can detect that there is a rod body 6 on the support surface 502, the operator will take out the rod body 6 and proceed to the next process.

[0097] When the rod body feeding device in this embodiment is in use, the rod body 6 in the storage bin automatically drops to the outlet 100, and the fourth cylinder 213 drives the first lifting member 7 to slide upward and lift the rod body 6 to the feeding end of the first conveying plate 3. The rod body 6 whose length reaches the target length rolls downward on the upper conveying track, and the rod body 6 whose length is shorter than the target length rolls downward on the lower conveying track. Among them, the rod body 6 on the lower conveying track drops into the blanking box through the blanking port 200, and the rod body 6 on the upper conveying track can be supported in the blanking port 200. The first cylinder 702 drives the second lifting member 9 to move upward, and conveys the rod body 6 on the upper conveying track to the second conveying plate 4, and conveys it to the guide channel 300 through the second conveying plate 4, and the rod body 6 is blocked in the guide channel 300 by the blocking member 801.

[0098] Next, the second cylinder drives the detection platform 5 to slide, so that the rod body 6 in the guide channel 300 falls into the support groove 501 in sequence. Then, the detection platform 5 returns to the initial position, and the through-beam photoelectric switch detects whether there is a rod body 6 on the support surface 502, so as to detect whether there is knurling on the rod body 6, and the rod body 6 with knurling is taken out for subsequent production processes, and the rod body 6 without knurling is taken out for collection.

[0099] The rod feeding device in this embodiment can screen the length and whether the connecting rods in the stabilizer bar connecting rod assembly have knurling, and is helpful in screening out connecting rods with knurling at both ends and a length that meets the target length, which is helpful in improving the feeding efficiency and accuracy of the connecting rods, and further helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the stabilizer bar connecting rods.
