[0015] The following describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, and thus a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present utility model can be made. The directional terms mentioned in the present utility model, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc., are only references to the directions in the attached drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for explaining and understanding the present utility model, rather than for limiting the present utility model.

[0016] As Figure 1-4 shown, a batch transportation device for the production of automotive gas springs includes a conveyor 1 and a transportation component configured with the conveyor 1. The transportation mode of the conveyor 1 is belt transportation. The conveyor 1 includes a belt and two baffles. The two baffles are installed on both sides of the belt. A plurality of molds 2 are placed on the belt of the conveyor 1. A slot is provided on the mold 2, and a gas spring housing is placed in the slot. The transportation component includes a first clamping block 8, a second clamping block 9, and a mounting plate 4. A plurality of mounting plates 4 are provided. The plurality of mounting plates 4 are fixedly connected by a connecting frame 3. One end of the connecting frame 3 is connected to an external transportation manipulator. The first clamping block 8 and the second clamping block 9 are installed below the mounting plate 4.

[0017] Central shafts 5 are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting plate 4. The ends of the first clamping block 8 and the second clamping block 9 are sleeved on the central shafts 5. The first clamping block 8 and the second clamping block 9 are symmetrically arranged. A slot is provided between the tops of the first clamping block 8 and the second clamping block 9, and a push plate 10 is provided in the slot.

[0018] A cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the mounting plate 4. The output end of the cylinder 6 passes through the mounting plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 10. Fixing plates 11 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of clamping blocks 1 8 and 2 9. A spring 7 is installed between the fixing plate 11 and the mounting plate 4. Clamping blocks 1 8 and 2 9 are oriented towards the mold 2, and the number of clamping blocks 1 8 and 2 9 corresponds to the gas spring housing inside the mold 2.

[0019] Example: Mold 2, filled with gas spring housings, is transported on conveyor 1. A robotic arm drives a connecting frame 3, which in turn moves multiple mounting plates 4 above mold 2. The robotic arm then lowers the mounting plates 4, which in turn lower clamping blocks 8 and 9. Clamping blocks 8 and 9 are spread apart by the gas spring housings, and their ends rotate on the central shaft 5. Spring 7 compresses and deforms, clamping blocks 8 and 9. After clamping the housings, the robotic arm drives the connecting frame 3 upward, and spring 7 generates a thrust on the fixed plate 11, causing clamping blocks 8 and 9 to clamp the housings. Subsequently, the robotic arm transports the housings to the processing station, and cylinder 6 is activated, pushing the push plate 10 downward from its output end, pushing the housings out from between clamping blocks 8 and 9. The housings are then pushed to the processing station, completing the transport process.

[0021] The embodiments described above are merely examples 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 modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
