[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a basic type of loading and unloading device for a laser cutting machine to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology, which has the advantages of integrated material transportation and improved production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a basic type of loading and unloading device for a laser cutting machine, comprising a frame, the frame comprising a truss, the truss is provided with a transverse moving member moving along the length direction of the truss, the transverse moving member comprises a moving frame, a longitudinal moving member is installed on the moving member, a lifting frame is provided at one end of the longitudinal moving member, a plurality of suction cups are provided on the lifting frame, a double-headed motor is installed on the output shaft of the double-headed motor, a sprocket is engaged with the sprocket, the chain is fixedly connected with a connecting plate, the connecting plate is fixedly connected with a fork plate, and a plurality of fork rods are provided on the side where the two fork plates face each other.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the transverse moving part moves to the top of the material, and then the longitudinal moving part is started to drive the lifting frame to move down to the top of the material, and the suction cup is used to absorb the material. Before the lifting frame moves to one side of the material, the double-headed motor is started to drive the sprocket to rotate and then drive the chain to run. The operation of the chain will drive the connecting plate to move in the direction away from each other and then drive the fork plate to move. The movement of the fork plate will drive the fork rod to move. After the suction cup absorbs the material, the double-headed motor is started to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the sprocket to rotate in the opposite direction and then drive the fork rod to move in the direction close to each other until the fork rod is below the material, thereby allowing the fork rod to support the material below the material.

Replace the cumbersome manual loading and unloading process, improve production efficiency, ensure loading and processing accuracy, reduce the error and accuracy caused by manual operation, and realize uninterrupted production. It is widely used in many fields such as metal processing, electronic manufacturing, and automobiles;

[0021] 2. Move the transverse moving part to the top of the material, then start the longitudinal moving part to drive the lifting frame to move down to the top of the material, use the suction cup to absorb the material, and before the lifting frame moves to one side of the material, start the double-headed motor to drive the sprocket to rotate and then drive the chain to run. The operation of the chain will drive the connecting plate to move away from each other and then drive the fork plate to move. The movement of the fork plate will drive the fork rod to move. After the suction cup absorbs the material, start the double-headed motor to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the sprocket to rotate in the opposite direction and then drive the fork rod to move in the direction of approaching each other until the fork rod is under the material, so that the fork rod can support the material from below.
