The addition of a chamfer 763 can play a guiding role when plugging in the plug-in plate 781, further improving the convenience of removing and replacing the clamping plate 74, which is very convenient for use.
[0040] Specifically, the upper surface of the threaded column 3 is fixedly connected to the fourth gear 18 , and the output end of the second servo motor 16 is fixedly installed with the third gear 17 .
[0041] In this embodiment, by adding the third gear 17 and the fourth gear 18, the user can flexibly adjust the installation position of the second servo motor 16, without having to arrange the second servo motor 16 and the threaded column 3 in a straight line, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

The controller 14 uses the S7-200 model, which is more convenient to use.
[0044] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: When the equipment is performing loading and unloading operations, the second servo motor 16 is first started, and the second servo motor 16 drives the threaded column 3 to rotate through the third gear 17 and the fourth gear 18. The threaded column 3 moves downward under the thread thrust of the pillar 2, and then cooperates with the second guide plate 15 to stably pull the top plate 4 downward. The top plate 4 drives the grabbing mechanism 7 to move downward through the main board 6. The grabbing mechanisms 7 at both ends of the main board 6 approach the finished product and the raw material respectively. Then the third servo motor 735 is started, and the third servo motor 735 drives the connecting plate 734 to rotate. , the connecting plate 734 drives the arc slide rail 733 to rotate, and the arc slide rail 733 pushes the guide block 732, so that the four guide blocks 732 slide inward along the strip slide groove 731, thereby driving the clamping plate 74 to quickly position and clamp the finished product and raw material, and then start the suction cup mechanism 752 for negative pressure adsorption reinforcement, and then reversely rotate the second servo motor 16 to move the grabbing mechanism 7 up, and then the stepping motor 5 drives the main board 6 to rotate half a circle, so that the grabbing mechanisms 7 at both ends exchange positions, and then the second servo motor 16 rotates to lower the grabbing mechanism 7, and then the suction cup mechanism 7 52 is closed and the third servo motor 735 is reversed to make the clamping plate 74 move outward to loosen the finished product and the raw material, realizing the loading and unloading operation of the equipment. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two grabbing mechanisms 7, the first servo motor 11 is started. The first servo motor 11 drives the bidirectional internal threaded tube 8 to rotate through the first gear 12 and the second gear 13. The bidirectional internal threaded tube 8 pushes the threaded rod 9 to move through the thread thrust, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the two grabbing mechanisms 7. When the raw material conveying mechanism and the CNC machine tool are at different heights, during the rotation of the main board 6, the electric hydraulic cylinder 722 Then, the corresponding telescopic operation is performed to make up for the height difference between the two. When the clamping plate 74 of the corresponding specification needs to be replaced, the adapter plate 772 is first pulled outward, and the adapter plate 772 pulls out the card plate 771 and stretches the spring 773. At this time, the clamping plate 74 is pulled downward to make the plug plate 781 fall out from the inside of the slot 762. Then, the clamping plate 74 is replaced and the plug plate 781 is aligned with the slot 762 and inserted. Then, the adapter plate 772 is released, and the spring 773 releases the elastic force to drive the card plate 771 to reset and insert it into the inside of the card slot 782, thereby realizing the replacement of the clamping plate 74.
