[0036] The upper slide bar 8 is a hollow rod, and a first slide hole 801 is provided at the bottom thereof, and a first slide block 802 corresponding to the lower slide bar 9 is slidably arranged inside the rod, and a first spring 803 is connected between adjacent first slide blocks 802; the lower slide bar 9 is a hollow rod, and an upper slide hole 901 is provided at the top thereof, and a lower slide hole 902 is provided at the bottom thereof, and a second slide block 903 corresponding to the suction cup assembly 10 is slidably arranged inside the rod, and the suction cup assembly 10 is connected to the second slide block 903, and a second spring 904 is connected between adjacent second slide blocks 903, and the second slide blocks 903 located at both ends are connected to the corresponding first slide blocks 802 by a vertical rod passing through the upper slide hole 901 and the first slide block 802.

[0037] In this embodiment, the transverse drive device 1 can drive the gripper 4 to move transversely, the longitudinal drive device 2 drives the gripper 4 to move longitudinally, and the vertical drive device 3 drives the gripper 4 to move in the vertical direction; when in use, the transverse drive device 1, the longitudinal drive device 2 and the vertical drive device 3 are respectively connected to an external control system to accurately control the position of the gripper 4 to load and unload the plate;

[0038] Before grabbing the plate, the positions of the upper slide bar 8 and the lower slide bar 9 are adjusted by the four sets of electric drive rods 7 according to the size of the plate, so that all the suction cup assemblies 10 are evenly distributed according to the size of the plate, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the suction cup assembly 10 in grabbing the plate;

[0039] Specifically, by controlling the electric drive rods 7 located at the front and rear sides of the direction block to drive the two groups of upper sliding rods 8 to move in a mirror image, the first sliders 802 in the two groups of upper sliding rods will drive the second sliders 903 at both ends of the lower sliding rod 9 to move closer to or farther from each other, thereby driving the multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 10 to move closer to or farther from each other; and, by means of the second springs 904, no matter how the second sliders 903 at both ends move, the distances between the multiple groups of second sliders 903 will be equal, thereby making the multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 10 arranged equidistantly in the front-to-back direction;

[0040] Similarly, by controlling the electric drive rods 7 located on the left and right sides of the direction block to drive the lower slide bars 9 at both ends of the multiple groups of lower slide bars 9 to move in a mirror image, the lower slide bars 9 at both ends will drive the first slide bars 802 at both ends of the upper slide bar 8 to move closer to or away from each other, and by the first springs 803, no matter how the first slide bars 802 at both ends move, the distances between the multiple groups of first slide bars 802 will be equal, so that the multiple groups of lower slide bars 9 are arranged equidistantly, and further the multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 10 are arranged equidistantly in the left and right directions;

[0041] Therefore, before grabbing the plate, the position of the suction cup assembly 10 is adjusted in advance according to the size of the plate through four sets of electric drive rods 7, so that the suction cup assemblies 10 located at the four corners correspond to the four corners of the plate; after the adjustment, all the suction cup assemblies 10 can be evenly distributed on the surface of the plate, thereby improving the stability of the suction cup assembly 10 in grabbing the plate.

[0042] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod 5 is further provided on the top of the square block 6, and the top of the electric telescopic rod 5 is connected to the bottom of the vertical driving device 3; support parts are symmetrically provided on the two side surfaces of the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 5, and a clamping assembly 15 is provided at the bottom of the support part, and a transmission part for driving the two groups of clamping assemblies 15 to move is provided on the support part to clamp the two sides of the grasped plate;

[0043] After the plate is grasped by the suction cup assembly 10, the electric telescopic rod 5 is started to drive the suction cup assembly 10 to move upward, and the suction cup assembly 10 drives the grasped plate to move upward between the two groups of clamping assemblies 15. During this process, the transmission part will adjust the clamping assemblies 15 on both sides to clamp on both sides of the grasped plate; then the horizontal drive device 1, the longitudinal drive device 2 and the vertical drive device 3 are started to load and unload the grasped plate; the clamping assemblies 15 are clamped on both sides of the grasped plate to prevent the plate from shaking during the loading and unloading process, thereby further improving the stability of the suction cup assembly 10 in grasping the plate.

[0044] Preferably, the support portion includes a fixed collar 501, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 5, and a driving rod 11 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fixed collar 501, and a sliding block 13 is slidably arranged on the driving rod 11, and a connecting rod 14 is arranged at the bottom of the sliding block 13, and the bottom of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the clamping assembly 15, and the transmission portion is arranged on the connecting rod 14; a slide plate 16 is also arranged on the connecting rod 14, and the slide plate 16 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 14, and a screw 17 is arranged in the slide plate 16, and the screw 17 is connected to the corresponding side plate 701; the electric drive rod 7 adjusts the position of the upper slide bar 8 and the lower slide bar 9, and the screw 17 and the slide plate 16 drive the sliding block 13 to slide synchronously on the driving rod 11, so that the clamping assembly 15 follows the lower slide bar 9 and adjusts synchronously;

[0045] Before grabbing the plate, the positions of the upper slide bar 8 and the lower slide bar 9 are adjusted in advance according to the size of the plate through the four sets of electric drive rods 7, so that all the suction cup assemblies 10 are evenly distributed according to the size of the plate; when the lower slide bar 9 is adjusted, the side plate 701 will drive the connecting rod 14 and the sliding block 13 to slide on the driving rod 11 through the screw 17 and the slide plate 16, so that the clamping assembly 15 can be adjusted synchronously with the movement of the lower slide bar 9, and automatically adapt to the clamping requirements of plates of different sizes.

[0046] Preferably, the transmission part includes a first driving wheel 1301, which is rotatably arranged on one side of the sliding block 13, and a second driving wheel 1601 is rotatably arranged on one side of the sliding plate 16, and the second driving wheel 1601 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 17, and the same group of transmission belts 20 are sleeved between the first driving wheel 1301 and the second driving wheel 1601, and a tensioning part for always tensioning the transmission belt 20 is arranged on one side of the connecting rod 14; a screw hole is opened on the side plate 701 corresponding to the screw 17, and the screw 17 passes through the side plate 701 through the screw hole and is screwed to the screw hole; a transmission component for driving the first driving wheel 1301 to rotate is arranged on the driving rod 11;

[0047] The transmission assembly drives the first driving wheel 1301 to rotate, and the first driving wheel 1301 drives the second driving wheel 1601 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 20. The rotating second driving wheel 1601 drives the screw 17 to rotate. Since the screw 17 is screwed to the screw hole on the side plate 701, the rotating screw 17 drives the connecting rod 14 and the sliding plate to move as a whole along the driving rod 11 through the slide plate 16, thereby driving the clamping assembly 15 to move to clamp the grasped plate.

[0048] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a ferrule 1101, which is fixedly sleeved on the driving rod 11, and a gear 1102 is fixedly sleeved on the ferrule 1101, and a tooth groove is provided on the outer periphery of the driving rod 11, and a first driving wheel 1301 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the driving rod 11, and a tooth block matching the tooth groove is provided on the inner wall of the first driving wheel 1301; a tooth plate 12 matching the gear 1102 is provided on the top of the square block 6;

[0049] After the plate is grabbed by the suction cup assembly 10, the electric telescopic rod 5 is started to drive the suction cup assembly 10 to move up. At this time, the square block 6 will drive the tooth plate 12 to move up. Since the tooth plate 12 is meshed with the gear 1102, the upward movement of the tooth plate 12 will drive the driving rod 11 to rotate through the gear 1102 and the ring 1101. The driving rod 11 uses the tooth grooves opened on its periphery to cooperate with the tooth blocks on the inner wall of the first driving wheel 1301 to drive the first driving wheel 1301 to rotate. The first driving wheel 1301 drives the second driving wheel 1601 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 20. The rotating second driving wheel 1601 will drive the screw 17 to rotate. The rotating screw 17 will drive the connecting rod 14 and the sliding plate to move along the driving rod 11 as a whole through the slide plate 16, thereby driving the clamping assembly 15 to move, so as to clamp the two sides of the plate driven by the electric telescopic rod 5 to move up, which can prevent the plate from shaking during the loading and unloading process, and further improve the stability of the suction cup assembly 10 in grabbing the plate.

[0050] Preferably, the tooth plate 12 is divided into a smooth surface and a tooth surface, the upper half of the tooth plate 12 is the smooth surface, and the lower half of the tooth plate 12 is the tooth surface, and the tooth surface is provided with teeth adapted to the gear 1102; a positioning rod 1201 is connected to the top of the tooth plate 12, and a positioning groove 1202 adapted to the positioning rod 1201 is provided on the outer periphery of the fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 5;

[0051] When the electric telescopic rod 5 drives the plate grasped by the suction cup assembly 10 to move upward, the smooth surface of the tooth plate 12 contacts the gear 1102, and the gear 1102 cannot be driven to rotate, and then the clamping assemblies 15 on both sides do not move, avoiding the clamping assemblies 15 from interfering with the lower sliding bar 9; when the electric telescopic rod 5 drives the lower sliding bar 9 to move upward to the upper side of the clamping assembly 15, the tooth surface contacts the gear 1102 and drives the gear 1102 to rotate, and the clamping assemblies 15 on both sides begin to approach each other to clamp the two ends of the plate that is moving upward.

[0052] Preferably, the tensioning part includes a side rod 18, a side rod 18 is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting rod 14, a tensioning block 19 is slidably provided on the side rod 18, a through hole is opened on the side rod 18, a connecting block 1901 is slidably provided in the through hole, and the connecting block 1901 is connected to the tensioning block 19; a tensioning spring 1902 is provided in the through hole, one end of the tensioning spring 1902 is connected to the connecting block 1901, and the other end is connected to the end of the through hole; a third driving wheel 1903 is rotatably connected to the tensioning block 19, and the transmission belt 20 is wound around the third driving wheel 1903;

[0053] When the electric telescopic rod 5 drives the grabbed plate to move upward, the side plate 701 will drive the slide plate 16 to slide upward on the connecting rod 14 through the screw 17, and the distance between the first drive wheel 1301 and the second drive wheel 1601 is close to each other; at this time, the energy release of the tensioning spring 1902 will drive the third drive wheel 1903 away from the connecting rod 14 through the connecting block 1901 and the tensioning block 19, thereby making the transmission belt 20 always tensioned, so that the first drive wheel 1301 and the second drive wheel 1601 always keep driving.

[0054] Preferably, the clamping assembly 15 includes a fixed clamping plate 1501, a movable rod 1504 is provided on one side of the fixed clamping plate 1501 close to the lower slide bar 9, the movable rod 1504 passes through the fixed clamping plate 1501, and the end of the movable rod 1504 close to the lower slide bar 9 is fixedly connected with a movable clamping plate 1502, and a clamping spring 1503 is connected between the movable clamping plate 1502 and the fixed clamping plate 1501;

[0055] By providing the movable rod 1504 and the clamping spring 1503, the movable clamping plate 1502 can be in elastic contact with the plate material to avoid deformation or damage of the plate material.

[0056] Preferably, a limiting hole 1401 is provided on the connecting rod 14, a limiting block 21 is slidably disposed in the limiting hole 1401, and the limiting block 21 is connected to the fixed clamping plate 1501;

[0057] After the sheet is grabbed by the suction cup assembly 10, the electric telescopic rod 5 is started to drive the suction cup assembly 10 to move up, and the suction cup assembly 10 drives the grabbed sheet to move up between the two groups of clamping assemblies 15. During this process, the transmission part will adjust the clamping assemblies 15 on both sides to clamp the two sides of the grabbed sheet, and by using the sliding cooperation between the limit hole 1401 on the connecting rod 14 and the limit block 21, the movable clamping plate 1502 can move up with the sheet after contacting the sheet but before completely clamping the sheet, so as to avoid the movable clamping plate 1502 being unable to move and exerting a downward thrust on the sheet, causing the sheet to fall off the suction cup assembly 10; similarly, when the sheet moves to the unloading area, the electric telescopic rod 5 drives the suction cup assembly 10 and the grabbed sheet to move down, and during the downward movement of the sheet, the movable clamping plate 1502 moves down synchronously with the sheet until the movable clamping plate 1502 is completely detached from the surface of the sheet; when the sheet is placed in the unloading area, the vacuum state in the suction cup assembly 10 is released at this time, and the sheet can be unloaded.
