[0026] Furthermore, the manipulator assembly includes a manipulator 16, and a manipulator gripper 15 is provided at the front end of the manipulator 16;

[0027] Furthermore, the transfer container 10 and the large fragile material bucket 11 are made of the same material;

[0028] Further, the transfer container 10 includes a transfer container barrel body 22 and a transfer container barrel bottom 23; the transfer container barrel body 22 and the transfer container barrel bottom 23 are movably connected; the transfer container barrel body 22 and the transfer container barrel bottom 23 are detachable. A transfer container support 9 is also provided on the entire device; the transfer container barrel bottom 23 is connected to the transfer container support 9, and the lifting cylinder 8 is connected to the transfer container barrel body 22.

[0031] The automatic feeding device for large fragile material barrels provided by the present invention mainly completes the tasks of opening the material box 17, grasping the material box 17, and pouring materials by the manipulator 16 assembly.

When the lifting cylinder 8 retracts, the transfer container barrel body 22 is separated from the transfer container barrel bottom 23) → the materials flow into the large fragile material barrel 11 → the transfer container 10 rises to the transfer container loading position 20 → the manipulator 16 continues to load materials until the large fragile material barrel 11 is full → the large fragile material barrel 11 is transported to the subsequent work station.
