[0002] In the field of metal polishing, after the workpiece (such as the middle frame of a mobile phone) is mirror-polished, the polishing liquid remaining on the surface of the workpiece needs to be cleaned by a cleaning machine and transferred to an inspection bag. Since the cleaning agent has a high temperature and corrosiveness, the plastic pallet cannot follow the workpiece into the cleaning machine. At this time, the carrier of the workpiece needs to be replaced by a cleaning frame from a plastic pallet. After cleaning, in order to meet the feeding requirements of the inspection bag, the workpiece needs to be manually removed from the cleaning frame and placed in the pallet, and then the pallet is manually placed in the inspection bag. However, this method requires manual highly repetitive mechanical movements, which is labor-intensive and requires a lot of manpower, and frequent manual contact with the workpiece can easily cause scratches on the workpiece.

Under the action of the limiting ring 416, the positioning members 42 at both ends pull the adjacent positioning members 42 to move, thereby adjusting the spacing between the positioning members 42, so that the spacing between the workpieces 300 on each positioning member 42 is adapted to the spacing between the workpieces 300 on the cleaning frame 200. The first driving member 21 drives the first clamping claw 23 to move toward the cleaning frame 200 of the first station 11, so that the buffer member 233 elastically abuts against the pressed portion 220 of the cleaning frame 200, and the first clamping driving member 2324 drives the two first clamping members 2322 to approach each other to clamp the workpiece 300 on the cleaning frame 200, and place the clamped workpiece 300 on the supporting portion of the supporting member 421 of the positioning member 42.

[0096] The first driving member 21 drives the first material clamping claw 23 to move toward the cleaning frame 200. After the movement is completed, the second driving member 31 drives the chuck claw 32 to move, so that the chuck driving member 324 drives the two chuck members 322 to approach each other to clamp the clamped portion 410 on the empty chuck, and move the empty tray 400 to the second station 12.

[0097] The variable pitch driving member 413 drives the positioning members 42 at both ends to approach each other, and the positioning members 42 at both ends push the adjacent positioning members 42 to approach each other, so that the adjacent positioning members 42 abut against each other, that is, Figure 6 There is a gap between adjacent positioning members 42 Figure 7 There is no gap between adjacent positioning members 42, and the spacing between the workpieces 300 on the plurality of positioning members 42 is adapted to the pallet 400; the second driving member 31 drives the second clamping claw 33 to move toward the positioning member 42, so that the second clamping driving member 3324 drives the two second clamping members 3322 to approach each other to clamp the workpiece 300 on the pallet 400 and place it on the empty pallet 400;

[0098] After all the workpieces 300 in the cleaning frame 200 are moved out, the clamping frame driving member 223 drives the two clamping members to approach each other, so that the two separation parts 2224 extend into the gap between the two stacked cleaning frames 200, so that the two pushing slopes 2224A push the two cleaning frames 200 to separate and clamp the cleaning frame 200 on the upper layer, and then move the cleaning frame 200 away; take away the pallet 400 full of workpieces 300, the second driving member 31 drives the chuck claw 32 to move, so that the chuck driving member 324 drives the two chuck members 322 to approach each other to clamp the clamped part 410 on the other empty chuck, and move the other empty pallet 400 to the second workstation 12.
