Clamping mechanisms 4 are provided at both ends of the middle position of the base 1. Clamping mechanisms 4 are provided at both ends of the base 1. The installation directions of the clamping mechanisms 4 at both ends are different from those of the two clamping mechanisms 4 at the middle position. Multiple clamping mechanisms 4 are provided at both ends and the middle position of the base 1, and can be adjusted according to the sizes and shapes of different components to achieve effective fixation of various automobile components and improve production efficiency.

[0025] Electric guide rails 2 are installed at both ends above the base 1, and sliders 3 are slidably installed on the electric guide rails 2. The electric guide rails 2 and the sliders 3 realize the automatic operation of the clamping mechanism 4 at the end on the production line, which improves the production efficiency. A mounting frame 5 is provided at the bottom of the clamping mechanism 4 at the end of the base 1. The mounting frame 5 is installed on the sliders 3 at the corresponding position. The mounting frame 5 is a hollow box structure. Rollers 52 are rotatably installed at both ends of the bottom of the mounting frame 5. The rollers 52 are in contact with the upper surface of the base 1. The rollers 52 reduce friction and improve the smoothness of movement of the mounting frame 5.

[0026] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, movable grooves 51 are opened on both sides of the upper part of the mounting frame 5, and a mounting seat 41 is provided at the bottom of the clamping mechanism 4 at the end of the base 1. The mounting seat 41 is connected to the movable groove 51 by bolts and is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 5. The movable groove 51 can facilitate the fixing and adjustment of the position of the mounting seat 41 on the mounting frame 5.
