[0032] The top, bottom and the side away from the placement plate 2 of the rectangular groove 414 are set as openings. The surface of the rotating plate 415 is inserted into the inside of the rectangular groove 414. There are eight fixed plates 4101 in pairs. There are four fixed seats 419. Two fixed plates 4101 are set on both sides of the fixed seats 419. The rotating plate 415 has a through hole slot. The surface of the screw 412 is inserted through the through hole slot opened inside the rotating plate 415.

[0033] The clamping assembly 42 includes a limiting plate 428, which is fixedly connected to the top perimeter of the workbench 1. A spring 425 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 428 away from the placement plate 2, and a frustum 426 is fixedly connected to the other side of the spring 425. A connecting rod 423 is fixedly connected to the side of the frustum 426 near the limiting plate 428, and a mounting plate 422 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting rod 423. A clamping plate 421 is fixedly connected to the other side of the mounting plate 422. The clamping plate 421 is located at the corner of the placement plate 2. The connecting rod 423 has densely arranged insertion slots 4202 inside, and the top of the insertion slots 4202 is set as an opening. A sliding groove 429 is opened inside the side of the limiting plate 428 near the placement plate 2. A sliding plate 4201 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 429. A mounting base 427 is fixedly connected between the two sliding plates 4201. An insertion rod 424 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 427. The surface of the insertion rod 424 is inserted into the insertion slot 4202.

[0034] The limiting plate 428 has an elongated slot inside, and the connecting rod 423 is inserted through the elongated slot inside the limiting plate 428. The spring 425 is disposed on the surface of the connecting rod 423.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting plate 416 drives the insert plate 418 to be inserted into the slot 417, the rotating plate 415 is inserted into the rectangular slot 414, and the nut 413 is threaded into the screw 412, which can initially fix the placement plate 2 on the top of the worktable 1. The push of the round table 426 compresses the spring 425, and at the same time the round table 426 drives the connecting rod 423, the connecting rod 423 drives the mounting plate 422, the mounting plate 422 drives the clamping plate 421 to clamp and fix the corners of the placement plate 2, and the insert rod 424 is inserted into the insertion slot 4202, which can limit and fix the position of the connecting rod 423, so as to fix the placement plate 2 on the top of the worktable 1 and prevent the placement plate 2 from moving during the pressing operation. Conversely, different placement plates 2 can be replaced according to different workpiece dimensions.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] See Figure 1-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the pressing mechanism 3 includes a support plate 32, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the workbench 1. A top plate 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 32, and a cylinder 34 is fixedly connected inside the top plate 33. A pressing cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 34.

[0038] Furthermore, the cylinder 34 drives the pressing cylinder 31 to descend, applying appropriate pressure so that the rivets on the aluminum bracket are gradually inserted into the riveting holes of the semi-finished suspension part, completing the riveting and pressing operation.

[0039] In actual operation, when this device is used, first place the placement plate 2 on the top of the workbench 1 so that the fixing seat 419 is set between the two fixing plates 4101. Then, drive the connecting plate 416 to insert the insertion plate 418 into the slot 417. Move the rotating plate 415 to rotate on the surface of the fixing rod 411 until the rotating plate 415 is inserted into the rectangular slot 414. Thread the nut 413 into the screw 412 to initially fix the placement plate 2 on the top of the workbench 1.

[0040] Simultaneously, the truncated cone 426 is pushed to compress the spring 425, and the truncated cone 426 can also drive the connecting rod 423. The connecting rod 423 drives the mounting plate 422, and the mounting plate 422 drives the clamping plate 421 to clamp and fix the corners of the placement plate 2. The mounting base 427 is pushed to drive the sliding plate 4201 to slide in the sliding groove 429. At the same time, the mounting base 427 drives the insertion rod 424 to be inserted into the insertion slot 4202. The position of the connecting rod 423 can be limited and fixed, which makes it easy to fix the placement plate 2 on the top of the worktable 1 and prevent the placement plate 2 from moving during the pressing operation. Conversely, different placement plates 2 can be replaced according to different workpiece dimensions.

[0041] Place the aluminum bracket on the placement plate 2, and make sure that the bottom of the riveting plate of the aluminum bracket is accurately engaged with the groove on the placement plate 2. Then place the semi-finished hanging part that has completed the liquid filling process on the aluminum bracket again, and carefully adjust the position so that the riveting holes of the semi-finished hanging part are aligned with the rivets on the riveting plate of the aluminum bracket.

[0042] Under the operation of cylinder 34, the pressing cylinder 31 is driven to descend, and appropriate pressure is applied so that the rivets on the aluminum bracket are gradually inserted into the riveting holes of the semi-finished suspension part, thus completing the riveting and pressing operation.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
