[0028] In the embodiment, the direction of movement of the first switch gear 4044 towards the second switch gear 4045 is defined as right movement, and the direction of movement of the second switch gear 4045 towards the first switch gear 4044 is defined as left movement, the frame body 4042 is slidably connected with the base of the accommodating cavity through a slide rail or a sliding seat, and both ends of the switch rod 4043 are slidably connected with the side wall of the accommodating cavity. When the switching cylinder 4041 is in the initial state, the second clamping block 40432 is located in the second clamping groove 40451, and the first clamping block 40431 is located outside the first clamping groove 40441. At this time, the driving unit 403 can drive the switching rod 4043 to rotate through the linkage gear 4016, and then drive the second switching gear 4045 to rotate through the second clamping block 40432, so that the rotating shaft 4021 rotates, thereby driving the rotating seat 201 to rotate, so that the accommodating groove 202 on the rotating seat 201 moves to the lower side of the support assembly 50. Then, the switching cylinder 4041 works to drive the frame body 4042 to move to the right. In this process, the first limiting seat 4046 and the second limiting seat 4047 limit the displacement of the first switching gear 4044 and the second limiting gear, so that the first clamping block 40431 and the second clamping block 40432 arranged on the switching rod 4043 are relatively displaced with the first switching gear 4044 and the second switching gear 4045. The first clamping block 40431 enters the first clamping groove 40441 to drive the first switching gear 4044 and the switching rod 4043 to be connected in transmission, and at the same time, the second clamping block 40432 is separated from the second clamping groove 40451 to disconnect the second switching gear 4045 and the switching rod 4043. At this time, the driving unit 403 can drive the first switching gear 4044 to rotate through the first clamping block 40431 to drive the jack 4011 to move upward together with the lifting seat 4012, thereby driving the rod body 30 to be ejected from the accommodating groove 202. In this process, the jack 4011 is always connected with the driving unit 403 through the linkage gear 4016, so that the jack 4011 can always rotate during the upward movement of the lifting seat 4012, thereby driving the rod body 30 to rotate to connect it with the rod body 30 located above. The support assembly 50 moves upward to lift the rod assembly connected by the two rod bodies 30, so that the rod body 30 located below is separated from the accommodating groove 202. The driving unit 403 drives the lifting seat 4012 to move downward to separate the jack 4011 from the accommodating groove 202. The switching cylinder 4041 drives the switching rod 4043 to move to the left to make the second clamping block 40432 enter the second clamping groove 40451, and the first clamping block 40431 is separated from the first clamping groove 40441. The driving unit 403 drives the rotating seat 201 to rotate to rotate the next accommodating groove 202 to the lower side of the support assembly 50.
[0029] Since the first switching gear 4044 and the second switching gear 4045 are sleeved on the switching rod 4043, when the switching rod 4043 rotates, there is a rotational speed difference between the first switching gear 4044, the second switching gear 4045 and the first clamping block 40431 and the second clamping block 40432. When the first clamping block 40431 is driven by the driving cylinder to enter the first switching gear 4044, the first clamping block 40431 will first abut against the first switching gear 4044, and the first clamping block 40431 and the first switching gear 4044 will rotate relative to each other until the first clamping block 40431 and the first clamping groove 40441 on the first switching gear 4044 are aligned. At this time, the first clamping block 40431 can slide into the first clamping groove 40441. In order to avoid the first clamping block 40431 and the second clamping block 40432 from being clamped with the first limiting seat 4046 or the second limiting seat 4047 when they are separated from the first clamping groove 40441 and the second clamping groove 40451, a certain gap is formed between the first limiting seat 4046 and the second limiting seat 4047 and the switching rod 4043. The width of the gap is greater than the height of the first clamping block 40431 and the second clamping block 40432, so that the first clamping block 40431 or the second clamping block 40432 is prevented from abutting against the first limiting seat 4046 or the second limiting seat 4047 when they are separated from the first clamping groove 40441 or the second clamping groove 40451, thereby preventing the switching rod 4043 from being stuck.
[0030] Since the first clamping block 40431 and the second clamping block 40432 are clamped into the first clamping groove 40441 or the second clamping groove 40451 by using the rotational speed difference, when the switching cylinder 4041 drives the switching rod 4043 to move to the right or to the left, a certain stroke needs to be moved first, so that the first clamping block 40431 or the second clamping block 40432 abuts against the first switching gear 4044 or the second switching gear 4045, and the pressure of the first clamping block 40431 or the second clamping block 40432 acting on the first switching gear 4044 or the second switching gear 4045 cannot be too large, so as to prevent the first switching gear 4044 or the second switching gear 4045 from being stuck. The first clamping block 40431 or the second clamping block 40432 can continue to move only after being clamped into the first clamping groove 40441 or the second clamping groove 40451. This process is difficult to control. Therefore, in the embodiment, the switching unit 404 further includes a first elastic member 4049, a second elastic member 4050 and a third elastic member 4051. One end of the first elastic member 4049 abuts against the first limiting seat 4046, and the other end abuts against the first switching gear 4044. One end of the second elastic member 4050 abuts against the frame body 4042, and the other end abuts against the first switching gear 4044. One end of the third elastic member 4051 abuts against the frame body 4042, and the other end abuts against the second limiting seat 4047.
[0031] With this arrangement, during the movement of the frame 4042 to the right with the driving of the switching rod 4043, the first elastic member 4049 and the second elastic member 4050 will extrude the first switching gear 4044, thereby increasing the friction between the first switching gear 4044 and the first elastic member 4049 and the second elastic member 4050, further limiting the rotation speed of the first switching gear 4044, increasing the rotation speed difference between the first switching gear 4044 and the first clamping block 40431, until the first clamping block 40431 abuts against the first switching gear 4044, at this time, the second elastic member 4050 is compressed to the limit state, and can still be compressed, the switching cylinder 4041 continues to work without stopping, the first clamping block 40431 rotates relative to the first switching gear 4044 to slide into the first clamping groove 40441, and similarly when the frame 4042 is moved to the left by the switching cylinder 4041, the second clamping block 40432 will also abut against the second switching gear 4045 and drive the third elastic member 4051 to compress, thereby without stopping the control of the switching cylinder 4041, the transmission connection between the second clamping block 40432 and the second switching gear 4045 can be completed; In addition, in order to avoid that when the first clamping block 40431 or the second clamping block 40432 is separated from the first switching gear 4044 or the second switching gear 4045, the first switching gear 4044 or the second switching gear 4045 rotates with the switching rod 4043 under the drive of the friction force, therefore in this embodiment, the switching unit 404 further comprises a first friction sleeve 4052 and a second friction sleeve 4054, the first friction sleeve 4052 and the second friction sleeve 4054 are installed at the connection between the frame 4042 and the switching rod 4043, the first switching gear 4044 is provided with a first sleeve body 4053 at one end thereof facing the first friction sleeve 4052, the first friction sleeve 4052 is adapted to move towards or away from the first sleeve body 4053 under the driving of the frame 4042, and the first sleeve body 4053 is adapted to be embedded in the first friction sleeve 4052 when the first friction sleeve 4052 moves towards the first sleeve body 4053; The second switching gear 4045 is provided with a second sleeve body 4055 at one end thereof facing the first switching gear 4044, the second friction sleeve 4054 is adapted to move towards or away from the second sleeve body 4055 under the driving of the frame 4042, and the second sleeve body 4055 is adapted to be embedded in the second friction sleeve 4054 when the second friction sleeve 4054 moves towards the second sleeve body 4055.
[0032] Specifically, when the switching unit 404 drives the first switching gear 4044 and the switching rod 4043, the switching cylinder 4041 drives the switching rod 4043 to move to the right, the second clamping block 40432 is separated from the second clamping groove 40451, and the second sleeve body 4055 is partially embedded in the second friction sleeve 4054, so as to utilize the friction between the second friction sleeve 4054 and the second sleeve body 4055 to limit the rotation of the second switching gear 4045, at the same time, the first clamping block 40431 will enter the first clamping groove 40441, so that the switching rod 4043 can drive the first switching gear 4044 to rotate synchronously, the jacking seat 4012 drives the jacking rod to move upwards, when the jacking seat 4012 drives the jacking rod to move to the preset position, the switching cylinder 4041 continues to drive the switching rod 4043 to move to the right, so that the first clamping block 40431 is separated from the first clamping groove 40441, and the first sleeve body 4053 is embedded in the first friction sleeve 4052, so as to limit the rotation of the first switching gear 4044, to avoid the jacking seat 4012 from moving downwards under the action of gravity, while the second sleeve body 4055 will continue to penetrate into the second friction sleeve 4054 without affecting the movement of the switching rod 4043, since the driving screw 4013 is always in meshing state with the third driven gear 4048, so that the jacking rod can be in a rotating state to tighten or loosen the rod body 30 with the rod body 30 located above, when it is necessary to retract the jacking rod and rotate the rotating seat 201, the reverse operation according to the above operation mode can be performed, the second elastic member 4050 and the third elastic member 4051 are arranged, and when the switching rod 4043 moves reversely, they will restore to the original state under the action of the elastic force, so as to separate the first sleeve body 4053 and the second sleeve body 4055 from the first friction sleeve 4052 and the second friction sleeve 4054, in addition, in the embodiment, the distance between the first sleeve body 4053 and the first friction sleeve 4052 is smaller than the distance between the second sleeve body 4055 and the second friction sleeve 4054, so that when the switching rod 4043 moves to the right, the second sleeve body 4055 can first penetrate into the second friction sleeve 4054, and in order to improve the limiting effect of the first friction sleeve 4052 and the second friction sleeve 4054 on the first sleeve body 4053 and the second sleeve body 4055, rubber pads can be arranged inside the first friction sleeve 4052 and the second friction sleeve 4054 to enhance the friction.
[0033] In the embodiment, the jacking and rotating unit 401 can of course adopt a driving unit composed of a rotating motor, a screw and a lifting motor, the screw is installed at the driving end of the lifting motor, the axial direction of the screw is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating seat, the rotating motor is in transmission connection with the screw, and the rotation of the screw can drive the cylinder to move upwards or downwards along the axial direction of the rotating seat, the jacking rod is installed at the driving end of the rotating motor or in transmission connection with the jacking rod, so that the rotating motor can drive the jacking rod to rotate; However, in this way, the rod assembly will exert an axial load on the main shaft of the rotating motor, thereby shortening the service life of the rotating motor. If a transmission assembly is additionally provided to connect the main shaft of the rotating motor with the lifting rod, the axial load of the rod assembly on the rotating motor can be avoided, but the overall size of the lifting rotating unit will be inevitably increased; The transmission connection between the switching unit and the driving unit can cancel the provision of the rotating motor and the lifting motor, thereby reducing the cost. The load of the rod assembly can be applied to the frame body instead of the driving unit, thereby prolonging the service life of the driving unit. The first friction sleeve and the second friction sleeve are provided to lock the other unit when the switching unit switches the unit in transmission connection with the driving unit. The other unit can work under the action of friction without the need of an additional locking structure. The load generated during locking is transmitted to the frame body and the switching rod by means of friction or pressure, and is transmitted to the base through the guide rail or the sliding seat connected with the frame body or directly to the base, thereby prolonging the service life of the driving unit.
[0034] In addition, in order to keep the linkage gear 4016 in engagement with the third driven gear 4048 during the movement of the frame body 4042, the thickness of the third driven gear 4048 is greater than or equal to the movement distance of the frame body 4042, and the thickness of the first transmission gear 4014 is greater than the movement distance of the first switching gear 4044, so that the first switching gear 4044 can keep engagement with the first transmission gear 4014 during the movement.
[0035] Specifically, the embodiment further comprises two fixed plates 601, which are arranged in parallel at intervals in the accommodating cavity and are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity. The lifting seat 4012 is arranged between the two fixed plates 601 and is in sliding connection with the two fixed plates 601.

In the embodiment, the first limiting seat 4046 is installed on one of the fixed plates 601, so as to fix the first limiting seat 4046 with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity through the fixed plate 601.

[0037] Specifically, the support assembly 50 comprises a support frame 501 fixedly installed on the base 10, a support motor 502 and a support plate 503 installed on the support frame 501, and a plurality of groups of support wheels 504 arranged uniformly along the length direction of the support plate 503, wherein the plurality of groups of support wheels 504 are connected through a chain transmission pair, each group of support wheels 504 comprises two support wheels 504 arranged at intervals and rotatably connected with the support plate 503, the support wheels 504 are arranged in dumbbell shape, the two support wheels 504 in the same group are matched and enclose a cavity which is adapted to the shape of the rod body 30, the surface of the support wheels 504 is wrapped with rubber pads, and the support motor 502 is drivingly connected with the two support wheels 504 in any group of support wheels 504.
[0038] In working, the rod body 30 is pushed into the cavity formed by the two support wheels 504 by the ejector rod 4011, the support motor 502 is operated to drive the support wheels 504 to rotate, so as to drive the rod body 30 to move upward by the friction between the support wheels 504 and the rod body 30, so as to pull out the rod body 30 from the accommodating groove 202, and in order to facilitate the support wheels 504 to drive the rod body 30 to move upward, the rubber pads are attached to the surface of the support wheels 504 in this embodiment, which can enhance the friction between the support wheels 504 and the surface of the rod body 30 when the support wheels 504 rotate, and on the other hand, the rubber pads attached to the surface of the support wheels 504 will be deformed when the rod body 30 is inserted between the two support wheels 504, so as to clamp the rod body 30 and provide support for the rod body 30.
