[0035] Figure 1 A top view of the fixed equipment for producing shock absorbers according to this utility model is shown. Figure 2 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the shock absorber production station of this utility model is shown. Figure 3 The diagram shows a partial enlarged view of the shock absorber production equipment of this utility model at point A. Figure 4 This diagram shows a front view of the clamping jaws in the shock absorber manufacturing fixture of this invention. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The shock absorber 8 production equipment includes a rotating frame 1, a first rotating seat 2, a second rotating seat 3, a clamping plate 6, and grippers 7. The rotating frame 1 includes a column 11, a connecting rod 12, and a first rotating beam 13 and a second rotating beam 14 rotatably connected to the column 11. The connecting rod 12 connects the first rotating beam 13 and the second rotating beam 14. The first rotating beam 13 is connected to a first motor 111. The first motor 111 is mounted on the column 11. Two first rotating seats 2 are located on either side of the rotation center of the first rotating beam 13. The first rotating seats 2 are connected to a second motor 131. The second motor 131 is mounted on the first rotating beam 13. Two second rotating seats 3 are located on either side of the rotation center of the second rotating beam 14. The clamping plate 6 is mounted on the first rotating seat 2. The grippers 7 are mounted on the second rotating seat 3. When the first motor 111 drives the first rotating beam 13 to rotate, the first rotating beam 13 drives the second rotating beam 14 to rotate synchronously via the connecting rod 12. Rotating 180° allows the shock absorbers 8, positioned on different first rotating seats 2, to quickly switch positions. This means that while one shock absorber 8 is performing a welding process, another can be disassembled and installed, enabling continuous, cyclical processing and significantly improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, clamping plates 6 and grippers 7 are positioned on the first rotating seat 2 and the second rotating seat 3. After clamping and fixing the workpiece, the clamping plates 6 and grippers 7 can rotate the shock absorber 8, facilitating welding. Specifically, a slide rail 41 perpendicular to the first rotating beam 13 is provided on the first rotating seat 2. The clamping plate 6 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 41. The clamping plate 6 and grippers 7 fix one shock absorber 8. Two shock absorbers 8 are simultaneously mounted on the rotating frame 1. Sliding the clamping plate 6 along the slide rail 41 allows it to support the shock absorber 8 at different positions, improving the stability of the clamped and fixed shock absorber 8.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 12 is connected to the rotation centers of the first rotating beam 13 and the second rotating beam 14, respectively. A baffle 121 is provided on the connecting rod 12 along its length. The baffle 121 separates the positions between the two shock absorbers 8 on the rotating frame 1, avoiding interference from the welding process with the disassembly and installation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the gripper 7 includes an upper gripper 71 and a lower gripper 72. The lower gripper 72 is connected to the second rotating seat 3. The upper gripper 71 is rotatably connected to the lower gripper 72. The upper gripper 71 and lower gripper 72 have protrusions 73 facing each other. The protrusions 73 are vertically oriented. The protrusions 73 are connected to the lifting ring 81 of the shock absorber 8. When installing the shock absorber 8, the protrusions 73 on the lower gripper 72 are engaged with the lifting ring 81 of the shock absorber 8, allowing one end of the shock absorber 8 to be quickly positioned on the lower gripper 72. Then, by rotating the upper gripper 71, one end of the shock absorber 8 can be fixed by changing its orientation.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3A connecting block 21 is provided on the slider 42. A slot 211 is formed on the surface of the connecting block 21 near the shock absorber 8. The retaining plate 6 engages with the connecting block 21 through the slot 211. The engagement of the retaining plate 6 with the connecting block 21 facilitates quick disassembly and installation of the retaining plate 6 on the connecting block 21. Quick replacement of the retaining plate 6 can reduce equipment downtime, thereby improving the overall production efficiency of the shock absorber 8. At the same time, the quick replacement of the retaining plate 6 allows it to quickly adapt to shock absorbers 8 of different sizes and specifications.

[0039] Preferably, the slot 211 is vertically positioned and perpendicular to the shock absorber 8. A limiting segment 212 is provided at the end of the slot 211 away from the shock absorber 8. There is an angle between the limiting segment 212 and the shock absorber 8. Correspondingly, a bent portion 62 is provided on the locking plate 6 to engage with the limiting segment 212. After the locking plate 6 is inserted into the slot 211 from the vertical direction, the limiting segment 212 and the bent portion 62 cooperate to restrict the movement of the locking plate 6 in the horizontal direction.

[0040] More preferably, a fastening screw is provided on the connecting block 21. The fastening screw is set perpendicular to the slot 211. When the retaining plate 6 engages with the connecting block 21, the fastening screw contacts the retaining plate 6. Rotating the fastening screw causes it to move on the connecting block 21, contacting or moving away from the retaining plate 6. When the fastening screw contacts the retaining plate 6, it increases the friction between the retaining plate 6 and the slot 211, restricting the vertical movement of the retaining plate 6 and fixing the retaining plate 6 within the slot 211.

[0041] Two clamping plates 6 are provided, positioned opposite each other on both sides of the shock absorber 8. An arc-shaped groove 61 is formed at the end of each clamping plate 6 closest to the shock absorber 8. The interior of the arc-shaped groove 61 contacts the shock absorber 8. The two arc-shaped grooves 61 are fitted onto the surface of the shock absorber 8, thus clamping and fixing the shock absorber 8.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A support rod 4 is provided on the first rotating seat 2. A slide rail 41 is provided on the support rod 4, and a slider 42 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 41. The clamping plate 6 is slidably connected to the slide rail 41 via the slider 42. By sliding the slider 42 along the slide rail 41, the position of the clamping plate 6 can be quickly adjusted, allowing the clamping plate 6 to hold the shock absorber 8 at different positions.

[0043] Preferably, a fan ring 5 is also provided on the support rod 4. The arc-shaped inner ring of the fan ring 5 supports the shock absorber 8. The fan ring 5 further supports the shock absorber 8, enhancing the stability of the shock absorber 8 when it is fixed on the rotating seat.

[0044] More preferably, the fan ring 5 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 51. The adjusting screw 51 contacts the shock absorber 8. By rotating the adjusting screw 51 on the fan ring 5, the position of the adjusting screw 51 relative to the fan ring 5 can be adjusted, allowing the adjusting screw 51 to better contact and support shock absorbers 8 of different models and specifications, thereby improving the versatility of the fan ring 5.

[0045] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] First, according to the dimensions of the shock absorber 8, slide the slider 42 along the slide rail 41 to move the clamping plate 6 to the preset support position. Then, fix the first shock absorber 8 on the rotating frame 1 by the clamping plate 6 and gripper 7 on one side of the connecting rod 12. At this time, the fan ring 5 on the same side as the clamping plate 6 also supports the first shock absorber 8. Then, drive the first rotating beam 13 and the second rotating beam 14 to rotate 180° by the first motor 111, and drive the clamping plate 6 and gripper 7 to rotate 180° by the second motor 131, so that the first shock absorber 8 enters the processing position. At this time, fix the second shock absorber 8 on the rotating frame 1 by the clamping plate 6 and gripper 7 on the other side of the connecting rod 12. After the first shock absorber 8 is processed, drive the first motor 111 and the second motor 131 again. At this time, the first rotating beam 13, the second rotating beam 14, the first rotating seat 2 and the second rotating seat 3 rotate 180°, the first shock absorber 8 and the second shock absorber 8 switch positions, and the second shock absorber 8 enters the processing position. At this point, the first shock absorber 8 can be removed, and the third shock absorber 8 can be installed in the position where the first shock absorber 8 was removed. Then, the first motor 111 and the second motor 131 can be driven. Repeat the above actions of removing and installing the shock absorber 8 and rotating the rotating frame 1 to continue processing the shock absorber 8.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
