[0026] Specifically, the sliding device includes a lifting plate 10, which is arranged between the first fixed plate 6 and the second fixed plate 7 through a lifting cylinder 15. The lifting cylinder 15 is arranged on the second fixed plate 7. The extension rod of the lifting cylinder 15 is connected to the lifting plate 10. The sliding rod 12 extends out of the second fixed plate 7 and is hinged to a connecting rod 11 at its end. The other end of the connecting rod 11 is hinged to the lifting plate 10.

[0027] In order to enable the sliding rod 12 to slide better, it also includes a fixed block 14, which is arranged on the lower end surface of the second fixed plate 7. A sliding groove is opened on the fixed block 14, and a sliding rail 13 is provided on the sliding rod 12. The sliding rail 13 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove.

[0028] In order to enable the lifting plate 10 to slide vertically up and down better, a plurality of guide columns 101 are provided in the second fixed plate 6, and a guide sleeve is provided on the lifting plate 10. The guide sleeve is slidably sleeved on the guide column 101, and a limit plate is provided at the end of the guide column 101 to limit the rise of the lifting plate 10.

[0029] In order to better adjust the position of the first fixed plate 6 so that the socket rod 9 can be better inserted into the process hole of the wheel hub, a U-shaped sensor 17 is provided on the second connecting plate 184, and an L-shaped connecting plate 18 is provided on the first fixed plate 6.

[0032] During use, when the wheel hub is to be clamped, the visual sensor 102 collects the image and transmits it to the six-axis robot. The six-axis robot then controls the manipulator to move above the wheel hub, and then rotates the motor 2 to drive the first fixed plate 6 to rotate so that the socket stem is located above the process hole of the wheel hub. The manipulator then descends so that the socket rod 9 is inserted into the process hole. The lifting cylinder 15 then works and extends the rod upward, thereby causing the lifting disk 10 to drive the connecting disk to drive the connecting rod to swing upward, and the connecting rod drives the sliding rod 12 to slide into the second fixed plate 7, thereby causing the socket rod 9 to resist the inner wall of the process hole and clamp the wheel hub. The wheel hub is then moved to the conveyor line to avoid damaging the painted exterior paint of the wheel hub, eliminating the need for manual handling and saving labor costs.
