[0006] Based on the above, the opening and closing cylinder opens the positioning groove, thereby placing the product into the positioning groove. The opening and closing cylinder then slowly returns to its original position along the original route. The spring positioning fixture positions and clamps the product. The spring positioning fixture has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a good clamping and positioning effect, ensuring the quality of the product. After the product is positioned and clamped on the loading table, the rotary table rotates intermittently to achieve the replacement of the workstation. After the product is processed at several of the workstations, it finally reaches the unloading position for unloading to the next production line. The loading and unloading operations do not interfere with each other and can be carried out simultaneously. The process is automated, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0008] Based on the above, a spring is connected between the fixed plate and the jig opening and closing plate. Under the push of the elastic force of the spring, the positioning pressing plate clamps the product. Due to the compressibility of the spring, the positioning groove can adaptively adjust its own width according to the size of the product, making it more convenient for the spring positioning jig to position and clamp the product.
[0009] Furthermore, the positioning groove is formed by the cooperation of a product positioning plate and a positioning pressing plate. The product positioning plate is fixedly mounted on the jig bottom plate, and the positioning pressing plate is fixedly mounted on the jig opening and closing plate. Under the elastic force of the spring, the jig opening and closing plate pushes the positioning pressing plate to position and clamp the product in the positioning groove.
[0010] Based on the above, the positioning groove is used to place the product, and the positioning pressing plate is fixedly installed on the jig opening and closing plate. The width of the positioning groove can be adjusted as the jig opening and closing plate moves, which facilitates the placement and clamping of the product.
[0011] Furthermore, the opening and closing cylinder is fixedly mounted on the cylinder rack, the upper part of the cylinder rack is a Y-shaped bracket, and the opening and closing cylinder includes a first opening and closing cylinder and a second opening and closing cylinder, and the first opening and closing cylinder and the second opening and closing cylinder are respectively arranged directly above the upper material position and the lower material position and fixedly mounted on the Y-shaped bracket.
[0012] Based on the above, the loading and unloading positions are both provided with the opening and closing cylinders cooperating with the spring positioning fixtures, making the loading and unloading of products smoother and more efficient.
[0013] Furthermore, the output end of the opening and closing cylinder is provided with a cylinder push plate for pushing the jig opening and closing plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 The figures show various views of the present invention, including a rotary table 1, a cam divider 2 is provided below the rotary table 1, and the cam divider 2 is composed of a driving cylinder and a cam, which can convert continuous input motion into intermittent output motion. This machine has a compact structure and stable output, and is a commonly used mechanical equipment in the mechanical field. A circular hole is provided in the center of the rotary table 1 to be fixedly matched with the output shaft of the cam divider 2. Four workstations, a loading position 3, a unloading position 4, a first processing position 5 and a second processing position 6, are provided above the rotary table 1. A spring positioning fixture 7 is fixedly installed at the positions corresponding to the four workstations on the rotary table 1. The first opening and closing cylinder 22 and the second opening and closing cylinder 23 are respectively provided directly above the loading position 3 and the unloading position 4. The first opening and closing cylinder 22 and the second opening and closing cylinder 23 cooperate with the spring positioning fixture 7 to realize loading and unloading of the product. The loading position 3 is responsible for loading and clamping the product. After loading is completed, the station conversion is realized through the cam divider 2, and the spring positioning fixture 7 of the loading position 3 is converted to the first processing station 5. The product is processed for the first time at the first processing station 5, and then transferred to the second processing station 6 for the second processing, and then transferred to the unloading position 4 for unloading. The work of the loading position 3 and the unloading position 4 does not interfere with each other, and loading and unloading can be carried out simultaneously, which improves production efficiency.
[0023] like Figure 3As shown, the spring positioning jig 7 includes a jig base plate 10, on which are provided a product positioning plate 16 and a positioning pressing plate 17. The product positioning plate 16 and the positioning pressing plate 17 cooperate with each other to form a positioning groove 8. The product positioning plate 16 is fixedly mounted to the jig base plate 10 by screws, and the positioning pressing plate 17 is fixedly mounted on the jig opening and closing plate 14. A linear guide rail 11 is also fixedly mounted on the jig base plate 10, on which a slider 13 is slidably engaged. The jig opening and closing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the slider 13. Under the push of the opening and closing cylinder 9, the jig opening and closing plate 14 drives the slider 13 to move horizontally on the linear guide rail 11. A fixing plate 12 is also provided at one end of the linear guide rail 11, and the fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the jig base plate 10 by screws. The fixing plate 12 is provided with a spring 15 and is connected to the jig opening and closing plate 14. Under the elastic force of the spring 15, the positioning pressing plate 17 clamps the product. Due to the compressibility of the spring 15, the positioning slot 8 can adaptively adjust its width according to the size of the product.
[0024] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the output end 20 of the opening and closing cylinder 9 is provided with a cylinder push plate 21, and the cylinder push plate 21 pushes the jig opening and closing plate 14 to drive the positioning pressing plate 17 to move horizontally, thereby increasing the width of the positioning groove 8, making it convenient to place the product into the positioning groove 8. At this time, the spring 15 is in a compressed state. When the product is placed, the opening and closing cylinder 9 slowly returns to its original position along the original route, and the jig opening and closing plate 14 drives the positioning pressing plate 17 to clamp and position the product under the elastic force of the spring 15.
[0025] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: the opening and closing cylinder 9 pushes the cylinder push plate 21 to drive the jig opening and closing plate 14 to move horizontally, and the positioning pressing plate 17 is fixed on the jig opening and closing plate 14 and moves therewith, thereby increasing the width of the positioning groove 8, and then placing the product into the positioning groove 8. At this time, the spring 15 is in a compressed state. When the product is placed, the opening and closing cylinder 9 slowly returns to the initial position along the original route, and the jig opening and closing plate 14 drives the positioning pressing plate 17 to clamp and position the product under the elastic force of the spring 15. After the loading is completed, the cam divider 2 then makes the rotary worktable 1 perform intermittent motion to realize automatic station conversion, and converts the spring positioning fixture 7 of the loading position 3 to the first processing station 5. After the belt transfer is completed at the first processing station 5, it is transferred to the second processing station 6 for the second processing of the product. Finally, the spring positioning fixture 7 reaches the unloading position 4. After reaching the unloading position 4, the second opening and closing cylinder 23 pushes the fixture opening and closing plate 14 to open the positioning groove 8, and then removes the product, and the process ends here.
