[0009] The belt is provided with a long spline belt clamp and a short spline belt clamp fixedly connected to both sides. The upper ends of the long spline belt clamp and the short spline belt clamp are respectively provided with spline connectors. One end of the short spline and the long spline are respectively fixedly connected to the spline connectors.
[0010] Preferably, a machine head cover is provided on one side of the lower pressure base plate and is vertically connected thereto. The machine head cover is located on the lower side of the lower pressure base plate and is fixedly connected to the lower pressure base plate.
[0011] Preferably, a material suction and ventilation component is installed on the outside of the machine head cover, and symmetrically distributed solenoid valves are installed on the material suction and ventilation component.

It also reduces motor investment and saves on the cost of the pick-and-place machine.

A stepper motor 22 connected to the drive pulley 18 is located at the bottom of the pressing base plate 1. Each stepper motor 22 corresponds to one drive pulley 18. The stepper motor 22 drives the drive pulley 18 to rotate, and the drive pulley 18 rotates via the belt drive pulley 15. The belt 16 has fixed connections on both sides. The belt has a long spline belt clamp 23 and a short spline belt clamp 24. The upper ends of the long spline belt clamp 23 and the short spline belt clamp 24 are respectively provided with spline connectors 14.

During the forward and reverse rotation of the belt 16 driven by the downward stepper motor 22, the long spline belt clamp 23 and the short spline belt clamp 24 are moved back and forth. The up and down movement of the long spline belt clamp 23 and the short spline belt clamp 24 respectively drives the up and down movement of the short spline 5 and the long spline 6.
[0024] The lower pressure base plate 1 has a machine head cover 7 vertically connected to one side. The machine head cover 7 is located below the lower pressure base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the lower pressure base plate 1.

The top of the long spline belt clamps 23 and short spline belt clamps 24 is provided with spline connectors 14 for connecting short spline 5 and long spline 6. Short spline 5 and long spline 6 are fixedly connected to spline connectors 14 respectively. The stepper motor 22 drives belt 16 to move long spline belt clamps 23 and short spline belt clamps 24 up and down through forward and reverse rotation, thereby driving short spline 5 and long spline 6 to move up and down. This realizes that one motor drives two splines, reducing the investment in motors and saving the cost of the pick-and-place machine. The rotating stepper motor 13 drives the rotating transmission belt 21 to rotate, and the rotating transmission belt 21 drives the spline sleeve 17 to rotate during the rotation.
