[0021] Furthermore, the lower end of the material support frame 5 is an open structure, and the materials 3 are inserted into the slots 4 through the material support frame 5 and are evenly spaced and distributed on the feeding and discharging fixture 2 .
[0022] In one embodiment, when the material 3 needs to be loaded into the material loading and unloading fixture 2 , the material 3 can be loaded onto the material support frame 5 in sequence first, and then the material support frame 5 can be correspondingly inserted into the slot 4 opened in the material loading and unloading fixture 2 .
[0023] A slide groove 20 is provided on one side of the first sliding rail 7, and a second slider 17 is inserted in the slide groove 20. The upper end of the second slider 17 is fixedly connected to the sliding bottom plate 9 through a connecting plate 16, and a clamping arm 19 is provided on one side of the lower end of the second slider 17, and the clamping arm 19 is movably arranged on the second sliding rail 14. The second sliding rail 14 is fixed to one side of the lower end of the conveying platform 1. A threaded through hole is provided inside the second slider 17, and a screw 18 is spirally connected in the threaded through hole. The other end of the screw 18 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 15 through a coupling. It should be additionally explained that the servo motor 15 drives the screw 18 to adopt a fixed number stepping drive to ensure that the stroke of each movement of the feeding and discharging fixture 2 during the conveying process is the same.
[0024] Furthermore, the feeding and discharging fixture 2 forms an integral structure with the second slider 17 through the connecting plate 16 , and the second slider 17 cooperates with the clamping arm 19 to move forward and backward on the second sliding track 14 through the screw 18 inserted inside.
[0025] In one embodiment, when the feeding and discharging fixture 2 needs to be transported, the screw 18 can be driven to rotate by the servo motor 15, and the screw 18 rotates in situ in the threaded hole opened in the second slider 17, and the second slider 17 is driven to cooperate with the clamping arm 19 to move back and forth on the second sliding rail 14.
[0026] Furthermore, the feeding and discharging fixture 2 is in a forward and backward moving structure on the first sliding track 7 through the first sliding block 8 under the action of the connecting plate 16 .
[0027] In one embodiment, when the second slider 17 moves back and forth in the slide groove 20, the loading and unloading jig 2 is driven to move back and forth on the first sliding rail 7 through the first slider 8 by forming an integral structure with the sliding bottom plate 9, the connecting plate 16 and the second slider 17.
[0028] An ejection mechanism 13 is provided at the lower end of the conveying platform 1. It should be additionally explained that the driving structure of the ejection mechanism 13 is the same as the driving structure of the servo motor 15. The servo motor 15 can also be used to drive the rotatable screw 18 to rotate in the threaded groove opened in the top block 21, and limit the two sides of the top block 21 to ensure that the top block 21 can move up and down in the top groove 22. This mechanism is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] A top block 21 is connected to the driving shaft of the ejection mechanism 13, and a top groove 22 is opened on the conveying platform 1 at the position corresponding to the top block 21. Brackets 10 are installed on both sides of the top groove 22 on the outside of the first sliding track 7.

The control mechanism can be debugged by existing public technology, which will not be repeated here.
[0030] Furthermore, the ejection block 21 moves vertically up and down in the top groove 22 under the action of the ejection mechanism 13 .
[0031] In one embodiment, when the feeding and discharging jig 2 is transported between the brackets 10, the signal emitted by the optical fiber source transmitter 11 will be blocked by the feeding and discharging jig 2, and the optical fiber signal receiver 12 cannot receive the signal. At this time, the servo motor 15 drives the screw 18 to drive the feeding and discharging jig 2 to perform a quantitative stepping stroke drive, so that after the feeding and discharging jig 2 moves in a stepping stroke, the detection port 6 corresponds to the optical fiber source transmitter 11, and during the stepping movement of the feeding and discharging jig 2, the controller synchronously starts the ejection mechanism 13, so that the ejection mechanism 13 drives the ejection block 21 to eject upward, and when the detection port 6 of the feeding and discharging jig 2 is adjusted so as to move to the optical fiber source transmitter 11, the ejection block 21 just rises to the top groove 22, then the servo motor 15 stops driving, and the ejection mechanism 13 continues to work to make the ejection block 21 continue to rise to eject the material 3 in the feeding and discharging fixture 2, until the material 3 is lifted and ejected to the highest end, and is clamped and moved out of the feeding and discharging fixture 2 by other mechanisms, the signal of the optical fiber source transmitter 11 is sent to the optical fiber signal receiver 12 through the detection port 6, and after identifying that the material 3 has been clamped away by other processing mechanisms, the ejection mechanism 13 shrinks the ejection block 21 to the initial position, and the servo motor 15 starts again to drive the feeding and discharging fixture 2 to move in a stepping stroke, and then repeats the above steps to realize the material 3 discharging process one by one.
