[0003] As an important part of the clutch, the quality of the friction plate directly affects the quality of the clutch. The clutch friction plate needs to have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, low noise and stable friction braking torque. In addition, the friction plate should have good heat dissipation ability to avoid damage due to excessive temperature. The friction plate is mainly made of substrate, binder, reinforcing fiber, friction performance regulator and filler, etc., to improve the vibration tendency and vibration reduction and noise reduction effect of the clutch system. Usually, a specific shape is processed on the basis of the friction plate, which is conducive to wavy grooves, etc. The substrate is mainly composed of cast iron, copper or aluminum. After the substrate is processed into a disc, the wear-resistant part is prepared on the substrate. The substrate disc is mainly formed by hydraulic press die casting. At present, the disc substrate is mainly fed manually during the die casting process, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, technicians in this field are committed to developing a feeding mechanism for use in friction plate production, which automatically transports the friction plate disc substrate to the die-casting mold on the die-casting machine, reduces manual operations, and improves the friction plate manufacturing efficiency.
