In this embodiment, four picking plates 130 are provided so as to meet the loading and unloading requirements of a four-head machine tool. The picking plates 130 are provided with a suction cup 131, which is connected to an air pump so as to suck the glass plate 510 through negative pressure. The second rotary cylinders 140 corresponding to the picking plates 130 are also provided. Four second rotary cylinders 140 are provided, and multiple second rotary cylinders 140 can realize unified action, or can realize separately controlling the rotation of corresponding feeding plates 130 to meet different needs. The second rotary cylinders 140 can be installed on the rotating arm 120 in sequence and at intervals through structures such as a fixed seat 141. The second rotary cylinders 140 are connected to the corresponding feeding plates 130 and can drive the feeding plates 130 to rotate. The angle of rotation of the feeding plates 130 driven by the second rotary cylinders 140 can be set to 0 to 180°, so that the glass plate 510 can be loaded or unloaded on the jig. The rotating arm 120 is arranged in the left-right direction, and the rotating output shaft of the first rotating cylinder 110 is connected with an eccentric chuck 111, and the rotating arm 120 is fixedly connected with the eccentric chuck 111, so that the first rotating cylinder 110 can drive the rotating arm 120 to rotate through the eccentric chuck 111, thereby driving the material picking plate 130 to rotate, and the rotation angle of the first rotating cylinder 110 can be set to 0-90°, so that the operation of picking and discharging materials on the storage tank 500 can be realized, and the storage tank 500 is set one by one corresponding to the material picking plate 130.

The transverse moving driving mechanism can be a motor assembly or a cylinder assembly or other driving assembly. The vertical moving assembly 200 is installed on the transverse moving mounting seat and can move forward and backward with the transverse moving mounting seat. The transverse moving assembly is fixedly installed on the machine tool.

[0026] The glass plate loading and unloading device is provided with a first rotating cylinder 110 and a second rotating cylinder 140. The first rotating cylinder 110 drives the rotating arm 120 to rotate through the eccentric chuck 111, thereby reducing the travel of the vertical moving drive mechanism and reducing the space occupied by the loading and unloading device. It has low cost, simple operation and control, and more reliable operation. In addition, the efficiency of glass plate loading and unloading can be improved by setting multiple feeding plates 130. At the same time, the corresponding feeding plates 130 are controlled to rotate by the second rotating cylinder 140. Multiple second rotating cylinders 140 can achieve unified action, or they can separately control the rotation of the corresponding feeding plates 130 to meet different needs.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first rotary cylinder 110 is further provided with a connecting seat 112, which is fixed on a vertical movable mounting seat, and the rotary output shaft is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat, while the rotary output shaft passes through the connecting seat 112 and is connected to the eccentric chuck 111.

The first support plate 412 is arranged in the left-right direction, and the second support plate 411 is arranged in the front-back direction. The first support plate 412 and the second support plate 411 are close to each other at a right angle. Since the first support plate 412 and the second support plate 411 are close to each other at a right angle, the first support plate 412 and the second support plate 411 can align the two sides of the glass plate 510 to improve its position accuracy.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 400 is provided with a positioning mounting seat 430, the positioning plate 410 is mounted on the positioning mounting seat 430, and the positioning mounting seat 430 is connected to a positioning driving mechanism that can drive it to move in the left-right direction. Through the above arrangement, the positioning driving mechanism can drive the positioning mounting seat 430 to move left-right, and then drive the positioning plate 410 to move in the left-right direction to position the glass plate 510, so that the position positioning of the glass plate 510 in the left-right direction can be better achieved. Similarly, the lateral moving assembly 300 can drive the picking plate 130 to move in the front-back direction to position the glass plate 510 through the vertical moving assembly 200 and the picking assembly 100, so that the position positioning of the glass plate 510 in the front-back direction can be achieved.

The positioning drive cylinder 440 can quickly drive the slide seat 450 to move along the slide rail 460, so that positioning is faster. A protective cover can be provided on the outside of the slide rail 460 to prevent dust and other debris from entering and affecting the sliding.

[0035] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly 400 is further provided with a plurality of air blowing pipes 420 corresponding to the positioning plates 410, and a fan-shaped air blowing nozzle 421 is provided at the end of the air blowing pipe 420. Thus, during or after the positioning process, the glass plate 510 can be blown to clean the impurities on the surface of the glass plate 510, which is conducive to improving the processing accuracy. At the same time, the fan-shaped air blowing nozzle 421 can blow the gas into a fan-shaped surface, and the air outlet is more concentrated on the surface of the glass plate 510, so that the impurities on the surface of the glass plate 510 can be well cleaned.
