[0020] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the mechanism includes a workbench 1, and other main structures, including a compression spring position 2, a compression cylinder 3, a feed cylinder 5, a spring silo 6, a compression spring cylinder 7, a feed conveyor line 8, a discharge cylinder 9, a discharge conveyor line 10 and two conveying transmission mechanisms 11 and other components, are all installed on the workbench 1.

[0022] The compression spring position 2 is the core of the above-mentioned components. It is installed in the middle of one end of the workbench 1 (set as the front end, and the other end is the rear end). It is used to carry the brake pad 4 and install the spring on it. A magnet is provided on the second compression spring position 2, which can absorb the brake pad 4 thereon.

[0023] The pressing cylinder 3 is located above the pressing spring position 2 and is used to press the brake pad 4 on the pressing spring position 2 .

[0024] The feed cylinder 5 is located on one side of the compression spring position 2 (set as the left side, and the other side is the rear side), and the feed conveyor line 8 is located at the rear end of the feed cylinder 5. The feed conveyor line 8 can convey the brake pad 4 to be spring-loaded from the rear end to the feed cylinder 5, and the operation of the feed cylinder 5 can push the brake pad 4 to the right onto the compression spring position 2, and the brake pad 4 can also push the original brake pad 4 on the compression spring position 2 to the right.

[0025] The spring bin 6 is located at the rear side of the spring compression position 2, and the spring compression cylinder 7 is located at the rear side of the spring bin 6. The spring bin 6 is used to store springs, and the stored springs can be automatically released from the lower end, and then the spring compression cylinder 7 operates to press the released springs onto the spring clamping position of the brake pad 4 on the spring position 2.

[0026] The discharge cylinder 9 is located on the right side of the spring compression position 2, and the discharge conveyor line 10 is located at the rear end of the discharge cylinder 9. The discharge cylinder 9 can operate to push the brake pad 4 pushed out of the spring compression position 2 and after the spring is installed onto the discharge conveyor line 10, and the brake pad 4 is transported to the rear end by the discharge conveyor line 10 and discharged.

[0027] In addition, conveying transmission mechanisms 11 (only the display housing in the figure) are installed on both sides of the workbench 1. The two conveying transmission mechanisms 11 are respectively connected to the feeding conveyor line 8 and the discharging conveyor line 10 to provide power for the feeding conveyor line 8 and the discharging conveyor line 10. The conveying transmission mechanism 11 is mainly composed of a plurality of transmission wheels and a transmission chain, and is connected to a power device.

[0028] The specific operation process of the agency mainly includes the following steps:

[0029] S1: The feed conveyor line 8 continuously conveys the brake pad 4 to be spring loaded from the rear end to the feed cylinder 5;

[0030] S2: The feed cylinder 5 operates to push the brake pad 4 onto the compression spring position 2 and is attracted by the magnet, and then the feed cylinder 5 retreats;

[0031] S3: The pressing cylinder 3 operates and presses down to press and fix the brake pad 4 on the compression spring position 2;

[0032] S4: The spring hopper 6 releases the spring from below;

[0033] S5: The spring pressing cylinder 7 operates to press the released spring into the spring clamping position of the brake pad 4, thereby completing the automatic spring loading, and then the spring pressing cylinder 7 retreats;

[0034] S6: The pressing cylinder 3 moves upward to release the brake pad 4 behind the upper spring;

[0035] S7: the feeding cylinder 5 operates again to push the next brake pad 4 to be loaded onto the spring compression position 2, thereby pushing the brake pad 4 after the spring is loaded from the spring compression position 2 to reach the discharging cylinder 9;

[0036] S8: the discharging cylinder 9 operates to push the brake pad 4 after the spring is installed into the discharging conveying line 10, and then the discharging cylinder 9 returns;

[0037] S9: The discharging conveyor line 10 continuously discharges the brake pad 4 after the spring is installed to the rear end.

[0038] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
