[0036] Working principle: According to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the combined device is working, first the fourth cylinder 18 is controlled downward, so that the installation beam 17 moves downward on the second installation frame 16 through the slide rail 5. At the same time, the installation beam 17 drives the installation cross plate 19 and the suction cup 20 to move downward until the suction cup 20 contacts the Rubik's Cube on the conveyor belt below, so that the suction cup 20 absorbs the Rubik's Cube in the fixture on the conveyor belt, and then the fourth cylinder 18 is controlled upward, so that the installation beam 17 drives the adsorbed Rubik's Cube to be lifted through the installation cross plate 19 and the suction cup 20.

[0037] according to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, after the magic cube is placed in the material blocking frame 14 on the material discharging support frame 10, the second cylinder 11 and the third cylinder 12 move forward at the same time, so that the second cylinder 11 and the third cylinder 12 push the limit cross bar 13 to move forward at the same time, and the scattered magic cubes in the material blocking frame 14 are combined into a semi-finished product. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, at this time, the first cylinder 7 is controlled downward, so that the finger cylinder 6 slides downward on the first mounting frame 4 through the slide rail 5, until the finger cylinder 6 controls the pneumatic manipulator 8 and the limit plate 9 to clamp the assembled Rubik's Cube semi-finished product, and then the first cylinder 7 is controlled upward, and the finger cylinder 6 slides upward on the first mounting frame 4 through the slide rail 5, and the finger cylinder 6 controls the pneumatic manipulator 8 and the limit plate 9 to clamp the semi-finished product and lift it in the direction of the magic cube, and then the first servo motor 3 pushes the first mounting frame 4 to slide on the second servo module 2, and the first mounting frame 4 Then the finger cylinder 6 is driven to move synchronously until the finger cylinder 6 moves to above the semi-finished product conveyor belt. At this time, the first cylinder 7 is controlled downward, so that the finger cylinder 6 slides downward on the first mounting frame 4 through the slide rail 5, until the finger cylinder 6 controls the pneumatic manipulator 8 and the limit plate 9 to place the clamped semi-finished Rubik's Cube on the semi-finished product conveyor belt, and then the finger cylinder 6 controls the pneumatic manipulator 8 and the limit plate 9 to release the clamped semi-finished Rubik's Cube, so that the semi-finished product conveyor belt can transport the semi-finished Rubik's Cube.
