Through the floating plate 41 and the spring 43, after the bridge housing is placed on the floating plate 41, a buffering effect can be achieved on the bridge housing.
[0041] In some embodiments, the floating plate 41 is disposed between the two claws 3 , and the column 42 is fixedly disposed on the welding table 1 . The floating plate 41 cooperates with the two claws 3 to better position and support the axle housing reduction cavity.

On the contrary, when the third positioning block 94 is away from the bridge housing, the positioning of the bridge housing is released.
[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a side support positioning frame 11 provided on the first slide 7, which is used to position the bridge housing in the radial direction. The side support positioning frame 11 is provided between the first side positioning frame 5 and the second side positioning frame 6. The side support positioning frame 11 includes a fourth base plate 111, on which a plug-in column 112 is fixedly provided.

Through the third cylinder 114, the clamping claws on the left and right sides can be moved away at the same time, so that the extended claws 115 on the left and right sides are simultaneously inserted into the adapted hole grooves on the bridge housing to position the bridge housing in the radial direction. On the contrary, when the extended claws 115 on the left and right sides are approached at the same time, the positioning of the bridge housing is released, and the bridge housing can be separated from the plug-in column 112.
[0054] In some embodiments, one side of the top of the column 42 is an inclined surface to facilitate insertion into the hole groove of the bridge housing. The third cylinder 114 is a finger cylinder, and the third cylinder 114 is arranged perpendicular to the column 42.

Through the fourth cylinder 132, the core shaft 133 drives the top 134 to move toward the end of the bridge housing and fit with the bridge housing. With the cooperation of the tops 134 on the left and right sides, the axial direction of the bridge housing is positioned. On the contrary, when the tops 134 on the left and right sides move away from each other at the same time, the positioning of the bridge housing is released.
[0056] Working principle of the present invention: Step 1: Place the axle housing on the floating plate 41. At this time, the opening direction of the axle housing deceleration chamber is set downward. The floating plate 41 moves downward under the gravity of the axle housing.

[0058] Step 3: Start the first cylinder 53 to flip the first positioning block 54 downward and fit it against the axle housing to position the axle housing in the radial direction;
[0059] Step 4: Start the second cylinder 62 to move the left and right clamping jaws outward simultaneously, so that the first positioning pins 63 on the left and right sides are inserted into the corresponding holes and grooves on the axle housing to position the axle housing in the radial direction;
[0060] Step 5: Start the third cylinder 114, so that the left and right clamping claws drive the extended claws 115 to move outward at the same time, so that the left and right extended claws 115 are inserted into the corresponding holes and grooves on the axle housing at the same time, and the axle housing is positioned in the radial direction;
[0061] Step 6: Start the fourth cylinder 132, so that the core shafts 133 on the left and right sides drive the tips 134 to simultaneously approach and fit with the ends of the axle housing, thereby positioning the axle housing in the axial direction;
[0062] Step 7: Manually operate the first clamp quick clamp 83 to move the second positioning block 84 toward the axle housing and fit it with the axle housing. At this time, the positioning hole 85 cooperates with the positioning column on the axle housing to position the axle housing in the radial direction.
[0063] Step 8: Manually operate the second clamp quick clamp 93 to move the third positioning block 94 toward the axle housing and fit it with the axle housing. At this time, the top cone 95 is inserted into the corresponding hole groove on the axle housing to position the axle housing in the radial direction.
