Clamping and transporting the automobile cable 26 facilitates detection; label cards 28 are installed at the positions for detection and the positions for loading and unloading on the transportation track 1. When the card reader 27 reads the label card 28, the controller controls the moving mechanism to stop moving, realizing the loading, unloading and transportation of the automobile cable 26; by using the inclined installation method of the clamping mechanism, the automobile cable 26 hangs naturally and plays a certain supporting role, so that the automobile cable 26 will not sway and curl back and forth during the moving process.

[0027] The mobile driving motor 12 is operated under the control of the controller, and the mobile driving gear 11 rotates and moves on the mobile driving rack 13, thereby driving the main U-shaped seat 9 to move on the transport track 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of movable pulleys 14 are rotatably mounted on the relative inner walls of the main U-shaped seat 9 and the relative inner walls of the slave U-shaped seat 15; each movable pulley 14 runs in the annular groove on the corresponding side; and a limiting pulley 10 that runs on the corresponding side surface of the transport track 1 is rotatably mounted on the relative inner walls of the main U-shaped seat 9.

[0029] The movable pulley 14 is used to reduce the friction of the main U-shaped seat 9 and the slave U-shaped seat 15 to improve the stability of movement; the two limiting pulleys 10 are used to run on the corresponding sides of the transport track 1 to prevent the main U-shaped seat 9 from shaking on the transport track 1.

[0030] Furthermore, a partition plate 4 which is annular in a top view is installed on the lower side surface of the transport track 1; busbars 5 are arranged on both inner and outer side surfaces of the partition plate 4; two rocker arms 7 are swingably installed at the bottom of the main U-shaped seat 9; carbon brushes 6 are installed on the ends of the two rocker arms 7; two pressing springs 8 are installed on the main U-shaped seat 9 for driving the two carbon brushes 6 to press on the two busbars 5 respectively; the two carbon brushes 6 are conductively connected to the power supply module of the controller.

[0031] The mobile power supply of the moving mechanism is realized by utilizing the cooperation between the busbar 5 and the carbon brush 6; the pressing spring 8 drives the rocker 7 to press the carbon brush 6 tightly against the busbar 5, thereby ensuring the conductive contact between the carbon brush 6 and the busbar 5.

[0033] By using the cooperation among the clamping guide rail 22, the clamping screw, the two clamping seats 23 and the two clamping plates 24, clamping of the automotive cable 26 can be realized.
