[0019] The connecting bracket of the automobile is a key component of the automobile, especially plays an important role in the engine, suspension system and steering system. In modern automobiles, the connecting bracket not only needs to withstand huge pressure and impact force, but also needs to meet the requirements of lightweight, environmental protection and intelligentization. Therefore, new materials such as lightweight high-strength steel, aluminum alloy and carbon fiber reinforced plastic are increasingly applied in the production of connecting brackets. The application of these materials not only improves the performance of the connecting bracket, but also helps to reduce the weight and emissions of the automobile, and improves fuel efficiency.

[0020] In the embodiment, the feeding mechanism is arranged at the front end of the fixed table, and the processing mechanism is arranged at the rear end. When the connecting brackets are sequentially fed to the processing mechanism by the device, the feeding mechanism first sequentially feeds the connecting brackets to the front end of the two supporting plates, the two ends of the connecting bracket are located in the left and right outer v-shaped grooves, and the v-shaped groove on the moving plate is located directly below the connecting bracket. While the connecting bracket is fed to the supporting plate, the feeding assembly drives the moving plate to move forward and backward. Specifically, the moving plate first moves upward and backward, in this process, the moving plate lifts the current connecting bracket through the two inner v-shaped grooves and moves it backward by one slot, the current connecting bracket is located directly above the next outer v-shaped groove, and then the moving plate resets, the two ends of the current connecting bracket fall on the next outer v-shaped groove. In addition, the next connecting bracket is also fed to the front end of the supporting plate, so when the two moving plates reciprocate forward and backward, the connecting bracket passes through each outer v-shaped groove from front to back and finally moves to the transfer station and is transferred to the processing mechanism by the transfer mechanism.

[0021] In the structure, as Figures 1-2 , the end of the rotating rod 9 is provided with a driven pulley 13, the driving shaft of the driving motor 12 is provided with a driving pulley 14, and the driving pulley 14 and the driven pulley 13 are sleeved with a belt 15. When the feeding assembly drives the two moving plates to move back and forth at the same time, the driving motor starts to work, and under the linkage of the belt, the rotating rod rotates, and the cam also rotates. In the process of rotating, the lifting rod is pushed upward and backward, and the moving plate will move backward by one slot. At this time, the fixed rod is located at the lower end of the sliding groove, and then the moving plate is reset under the action of gravity, and the fixed rod is located at the upper end of the sliding groove.

[0022] In the illustration, three protruding parts are formed on the cam. That is, when the cam rotates one circle, the front connecting bracket moves backward by three slots on the support plate, which can improve the feeding efficiency of the connecting bracket.

[0023] As a preferred structure, as Figure 2 , each fixed rod 4 is provided with a fixed sleeve 16 on both sides, the moving plate 5 and the support plate 6 are installed on the same side of the fixed sleeve 16, the moving plate 5 is fixedly installed, the fixed sleeve 16 is provided with a clamping groove 17 on the inner side of the support plate 6, and the stop ring is installed in the clamping groove 17.

[0024] In the structure, the moving plate and the support plate are installed on the fixed rod through the fixed sleeve, the support plate and the stop ring are located on the inner and outer sides of the moving plate respectively, the support plate and the stop ring limit the moving plate, which can avoid the moving plate sliding left and right on the fixed rod during the reciprocating movement of the moving plate, so that the connecting bracket is more stable during feeding.

[0025] In addition, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , the fixed rod 4 is also provided with a pair of side plates 18, the side plates 18 are located on the outer side of the support plate 6, the transfer mechanism includes a horizontal linear motor 19, the driving end of the horizontal linear motor 19 is provided with a lifting cylinder 20, the driving end of the lifting cylinder 20 is provided with a connecting plate 21, the connecting plate 21 is provided with a clamping hand 22, and the clamping hand 22 is located between the left side plate and the support plate 6.

[0026] In the device, a plurality of sliding sleeves 23 are arranged on the side plates 18, the sliding sleeves 23 are installed on the corresponding fixed rods 4, the tail of each sliding sleeve 23 is screwed into a fixed nut, and the bottom of the fixed nut abuts against the fixed rod. In the actual feeding process, the side plates play a role of limiting the connecting bracket, the distance between the two side plates can be adjusted according to the length of the connecting bracket, so as to adapt to the connecting bracket of different lengths. When the installation position of the side plate is to be adjusted, the fixed nuts are first loosened, then the side plate can slide on the fixed rod through the sliding sleeve, and after the position of the side plate is determined, all the fixed nuts can be tightened one by one.

[0027] When the connecting bracket is transferred to the transfer station, first, the lifting cylinder drives the connecting bracket to move upwards, and the clamping hand is in an open state. After the connecting bracket is located in the clamping hand, the clamping hand clamps the connecting bracket, the lifting cylinder continues to move upwards by a small distance, the connecting bracket moves away from the transfer station, and finally the transverse linear motor drives the lifting cylinder to move towards the machining mechanism, and the connecting bracket is transferred to the machining mechanism for machining. In the figure, the number of the lifting cylinders is two, so that the height between the transfer station and the machining station can be further adapted.

[0028] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
