[0041] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 When positioning the carrier 42 on the unloading conveyor line 41, the loading conveyor line is first used to convey the carrier 42 along the length direction of the material rack 1 away from the grabbing assembly 3. When the carrier 42 contacts the block 47, the unloading conveyor line 41 is controlled to stop working. Thereafter, the jacking cylinder 43 is used to control the insertion rod 44 to rise. When the insertion rod 44 can be inserted into the slot 45 at the bottom of the carrier 42, the positioning of the carrier 42 can be completed. Through this arrangement, the consistency of the grabbing assembly 3 in placing the shock-absorbing hanger 5 components in the carrier 42 can be improved, and the efficiency of assembling the shock-absorbing hanger 5 can be improved.
