[0036] The electrical components set inside the device are controlled and processed by an external PLC controller, and the electrical components are powered by an external power module.

[0037] There are two sets of conveyor belt devices 42 inside the frame plate 41, and a servo motor assembly is arranged outside the frame plate 41. The servo motor assembly supplies power for the low-speed transmission of the belt arranged on the conveyor belt device 42. Among them, the conveyor belt device 42 on the right drives the belt to move forward, and the conveyor belt device 42 on the left drives the belt to move backward. Personnel stand on the right side of the frame plate 41 to place the handle, so that the handle is assembled and placed inside the slots arranged on the material frame 432, the slots arranged on the folding frame 433, and the slots arranged on the top of the slot plate 434 until the slide rail drive assembly 44 arranged at the front end abuts and limits the carrier plate 431. The push plate 45 moves leftward along the slide rail drive assembly 44, and the material placing rack 43 is pushed to the belt of the conveyor belt device 42 arranged on the left by the push plate 45. The conveyor belt device 42 arranged on the left drives the belt and the material placing rack 43 to move backward. The handle detection device 46 is provided with a photoelectric detection device at the bottom to perform feeding detection and empty material detection on the top of the material placing rack 43 until the rear end of the carrier plate 431 abuts and limits the slide rail drive assembly 44 arranged at the rear end. The handle is clamped and moved to the handle feeding station 12 by the handle drive device 21 and the handle cylinder gripper 22. The slide rail drive assembly 44 arranged at the rear end drives the push plate 45 to move rightward, and the material placing rack 43 is moved to the top belt of the conveyor belt device 42 arranged at the right end.
