Compared with the prior art, by rotationally connecting at least two grabbing members 42 to the bracket 41, and rotationally connecting the bracket 41 to the base 2, the two grabbing members 42 can grab at least two materials at the same time, and at the same time, the lifting assembly 5 can realize the lifting and lowering of at least two grabbing members 42 and the bracket 41 relative to the base 2, which is used to cooperate to realize the lifting function when grabbing or releasing materials, which can increase the number of materials grabbed by the lifting device at a single time and improve the production efficiency of grabbing materials.

[0056] The specific working process of the present invention is that when it is necessary to grab a material, the bracket 41 and the grabbing part 422 are arranged on one side of the horizontal support 21, and the first moving member 72 and the second moving member 73 can cooperate to guide the horizontal support 21 to slide along the guide rail 1. Then, when the device moves to the vicinity of the material, the first moving member 72 stops moving, and the second moving member 73 works and drives the bracket 41 and the grabbing part 422 to rotate around the axis of the fixed column 31, and rotate to the top of the material to be grabbed, and then, driven by the second driving motor 425, the two grabbing parts 422 rotate close to each other and clamp the material. At the same time, the first driving member 52 drives the bracket 41, the grabbing part 422 and the material to move downward, so that the negative pressure suction part 46 generates a negative pressure adsorption force and clamps the material. Finally, the second moving member 73 continues to work and moves the bracket 41 to the top of the next material to be grabbed. Driven by the first driving motor 453, the bracket 41 and the next adjacent grabbing part 422 rotate relative to the fixed column 31. Driven by the second driving motor 425, the two grabbing parts 422 rotate close to each other and clamp the next material to be grabbed. The above steps are repeated in sequence, and three materials can be grabbed in sequence.

[0057] Furthermore, after grabbing the material, the first moving member 72 and the second moving member 73 are driven again, and the first moving member 72 and the second moving member 73 drive the device and the material to move to the designated stacking area, and then the first driving member 52 drives the bracket 41, the grabbing part 422 and the material to move downward, and then driven by the second driving motor 425, the two grabbing parts 422 rotate away from each other and release the material, and finally driven by the first driving motor 453, the bracket 41 and the next adjacent grabbing part 422 rotate relative to the fixed column 31, and driven by the second driving motor 425, the two grabbing parts 422 rotate away from each other and release the material, and the materials are stacked in sequence.

[0058] Through the above structure, the device can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the material handling efficiency is low because the picking device arranged at the left end of the lifting mechanism can only grab or pick up a single material at a time.

[0059] The specific implementation of the present invention described above does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
