[0036] The palletizing connection bracket 2 is composed of aluminum tubes of models -PAT-40-3-L800 and -PAT-60-5-L1500 arranged in an alternating pattern.

[0037] Both the first cylinder 313 and the second cylinder 314 are NT series double-axis cylinders of model TN32X40S__+_DMS. The difference between the second cylinder 314 and the first cylinder 313 is that the second cylinder 314 has 4 more holes, and a compression spring for reducing impact is also provided between the first cylinder 313 and the second cylinder 314.
[0038] During use, the combination unit 4 is installed on the connected industrial robot through screws, and the main base 1 is fixed on the industrial robot through the flange chuck 45, so that the palletizing connection bracket 2, which serves as the framework of the device, can provide sufficient structural strength for the device, enabling the device to smoothly meet the handling requirements of the water-cooled plate. The state of the water-cooled plate and the paper on the water-cooled plate is detected by the sensor in the easily replaceable detection bracket 43 on the quick-change rack 41, facilitating the automation operation of the device. When it is necessary to handle the water-cooled plate, by controlling the change in the length of the output shaft of the first cylinder 313, the second cylinder 314 is moved closer to the paper on the water-cooled plate. By controlling the change in the length of the output shaft of the second cylinder 314, the distance between the moving clamping plate 316 and the fixed clamping plate 315 is changed to grasp and discard the paper on the water-cooled plate. By extending the output shaft of the first cylinder 313 again, the vacuum suction cup 327 connected to the spring rod 326 can fully contact the water-cooled plate. After exhausting the vacuum suction cup 327, the water-cooled plate is transferred to the conveyor belt by the adsorption of the vacuum suction cup 327 on the water-cooled plate. Compared with the traditional dual-industrial robot design, by installing the separation unit 31 and the adsorption unit 32 on a single industrial robot respectively, the operations of paper picking and discarding and adsorption transfer can be completed by a single industrial robot, thus reducing the floor area of the device.
