[0022] See also Figure 4 The material taking structure 3 includes two symmetrically distributed electromagnets 301, a spline rod 302 is fixedly embedded at the center of the upper end of the electromagnet 301, a slider 303 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the spline rod 302, the slider 303 can move inside the guide rail 2, and an adjustment plate 305 that can move left and right is movably embedded inside the cantilever 1.

[0023] See also Figure 1 Two symmetrically distributed connecting rods 304 are installed between the two sliders 303 and the adjusting plate 305. The two connecting rods 304 are located on both sides of the cantilever 1, and the two ends of the connecting rods 304 are movably hinged with the sliders 303 and the adjusting plate 305 respectively.

[0024] The working principle of being able to grab friction plates of different types: when adjusting the distance between the two electromagnets 301, the personnel moves the adjustment plate 305 left and right. During the movement of the adjustment plate 305 left and right, the adjustment plate 305 can drive the two electromagnets 301 to move simultaneously through the connecting rod 304. The distance between the two electromagnets 301 can be adjusted arbitrarily through the adjustment plate 305, which is conducive to expanding the use scope of the material picking structure 3 and facilitating the material picking structure 3 to grab friction plates of different types.

[0026] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 This embodiment further explains Example 1. The positioning structure 4 includes a positioning pin 401 fixedly embedded in the center of the lower end of the adjustment plate 305. The outer side of the positioning pin 401 is movably sleeved with a sleeve 402, and the positioning pin 401 will not separate from the sleeve 402. The outer side of the sleeve 402 is fixedly sleeved with a disc 403, and the lower end of the disc 403 is located on the outer side of the sleeve 402 and is fixedly adhered with a rubber pad 404.

[0027] See also Figure 3 The outer side of the positioning pin 401 is located between the adjustment plate 305 and the disc 403 and is movably sleeved with a spring 405. The lower end of the rubber pad 404 is movably abutted against two symmetrically distributed tooth plates 406, and the tooth plates 406 are fixedly embedded in the lower end surface of the cantilever 1. The lower end of the sleeve 402 is fixedly sleeved with a button 407, which is convenient for driving the rubber pad 404 to move upward.

[0028] In this embodiment: before moving the adjustment plate 305, the person presses the button 407 upwards, and the button drives the rubber pad 404 to move upwards through the sleeve 402. The rubber pad 404 moves up and disengages from the tooth plate 406. At this time, the adjustment plate 305 can be moved arbitrarily through the button 407. When the adjustment plate 305 is adjusted to a suitable position, the person releases the button, and the rubber pad 404 will press against the tooth plate 406 under the drive of the spring 405. At this time, the adjustment plate 305 cannot be moved, and the material picking structure 3 can be locked.
