A hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gantry 1. The model of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is selected according to actual needs to meet the work requirements. A mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected below the hydraulic cylinder 2. Start the three hydraulic cylinders 2 simultaneously. The hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to descend, thereby driving the vacuum suction cups 4 to descend to the surface of the metal plate. The vacuum suction cups 4 suck the metal plate. After completion, the three hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to rise simultaneously, thereby driving the metal plate to rise. After completion, stop the three hydraulic cylinders 2 simultaneously. Move the gantry 1 again. The gantry 1 drives the metal plate to move to the external cutting machine. Place the metal plate on the external cutting machine to complete the loading of the metal plate. A housing 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 3. The vacuum suction cups 4 are arranged below the housing 6. An adjusting mechanism 5 is arranged inside the housing 6. The adjusting mechanism 5 includes: a double-headed motor 51, the model of which is selected according to actual needs to meet the work requirements. The double-headed motor 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 6 through a motor sleeve. A threaded column 52 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the double-headed motor 51. The double-headed motor 51 drives the threaded column 52 to rotate. The thread directions of the two threaded columns 52 are opposite, and they are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 6 through bearings. A threaded block 53 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded column 52. The two threaded columns 52 drive the threaded block 53 to move. A slideway 55 is opened on the inner wall of the mounting plate 3. A pulley 54 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded block 53. The two threaded blocks 53 drive the pulley 54 to move in the slideway 55 and fit against the inner wall of the slideway 55. A curved plate 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded block 53. The two threaded blocks 53 drive the curved plate 56 to move, and it penetrates through the housing 6 and is movably connected to the housing 6. The two curved plates 56 move in the housing 6. A cross plate 57 is fixedly connected to the end of the curved plate 56 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vacuum suction cup 4. The two curved plates 56 drive the cross plate 57 to move. The two cross plates 57 drive the vacuum suction cups 4 to move. A locking assembly 58 is arranged on the outer wall of the mounting plate 3. Among them, under the drive of the double-headed motor 51, the threaded column 52 makes the cross plate 57 move, thereby making the two vacuum suction cups 4 move, adjusting the distance between the two vacuum suction cups 4, and locking the threaded column 52 through the locking assembly 58;

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that the model of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is selected according to actual needs as long as it meets the working requirements, and the model of the double-headed motor 51 is selected according to actual needs as long as it meets the working requirements. Move the gantry 1 to the external feeding platform. At the same time, start the three hydraulic cylinders 2. The hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to descend, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup 4 to descend to the surface of the metal plate. The vacuum suction cup 4 sucks the metal plate. After that, the three hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to rise simultaneously, thereby driving the metal plate to rise. After that, stop the three hydraulic cylinders 2 at the same time. Move the gantry 1 again. The gantry 1 drives the metal plate to move to the external cutting machine. Place the metal plate on the external cutting machine to complete the feeding of the metal plate. At the same time, start the two double-headed motors 51. The double-headed motors 51 drive the threaded columns 52 to rotate. The thread directions of the threaded columns 52 on both sides are opposite. The threaded columns 52 on both sides drive the threaded blocks 53 to move. The threaded blocks 53 on both sides drive the pulleys 54 to move in the slideways 55. The threaded blocks 53 on both sides drive the curved plates 56 to move. The curved plates 56 on both sides move in the housing 6. The curved plates 56 on both sides drive the cross plate 57 to move. The cross plates 57 on both sides drive the vacuum suction cup 4 to move, realizing the adjustment of the distance between the two vacuum suction cups 4;

[0024] Furthermore, the locking assembly 58 includes: a bracket 581 fixedly connected above the mounting plate 3. The model of the electric telescopic rod 582 is selected according to actual needs as long as it meets the working requirements. The electric telescopic rod 582 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 581. A vertical column 583 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 582. The electric telescopic rod 582 drives the vertical column 583 to move, and penetrates through the mounting plate 3 and is movably connected to the mounting plate 3. The vertical column 583 moves in the mounting plate 3. An arc-shaped brake block 584 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical column 583. The vertical column 583 drives the arc-shaped brake block 584 to descend. The arc-shaped brake block 584 contacts the outer wall of the threaded column 52. Among them, under the drive of the electric telescopic rod 582, the vertical column 583 makes the arc-shaped brake block 584 lock the threaded column 52;

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that the model of the electric telescopic rod 582 is selected according to actual needs as long as it meets the working requirements. After the threaded columns 52 on both sides rotate, start multiple electric telescopic rods 582 at the same time. The electric telescopic rods 582 drive the vertical columns 583 to move. The vertical columns 583 move in the mounting plate 3. The vertical columns 583 drive the arc-shaped brake blocks 584 to descend. The arc-shaped brake blocks 584 contact the outer wall of the threaded columns 52. The threaded columns 52 are locked by the friction force of the arc-shaped brake blocks 584 themselves;

[0026] Further, the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected with a vacuum pump 41 through bolts. The model of the vacuum pump 41 is selected according to actual needs as long as it meets the working requirements. The vacuum pump 41 is connected with a connecting pipe 42. The vacuum pump 41 sucks the air between the vacuum suction cup 4 and the metal plate into the shunt pipe 43, then into the connecting pipe 42, and finally discharges it through the vacuum pump 41. At this time, the vacuum suction cup 4 sucks the metal plate. The connecting pipe 42 is connected with a shunt pipe 43, and the shunt pipe 43 is connected to the inner wall of the vacuum suction cup 4. When the metal plate moves to the external cutting machine, the vacuum pumps 41 on both sides are stopped simultaneously, and the vacuum suction cup 4 no longer sucks the metal plate, releasing the fixation of the metal plate;

[0027] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that when sucking the metal plate, the vacuum pumps 41 on both sides are started simultaneously. The vacuum pumps 41 suck the air between the vacuum suction cup 4 and the metal plate into the shunt pipe 43, then into the connecting pipe 42, and finally discharge it through the vacuum pumps 41. At this time, the vacuum suction cup 4 sucks the metal plate. When the metal plate moves to the external cutting machine, the vacuum pumps 41 on both sides are stopped simultaneously, and the vacuum suction cup 4 no longer sucks the metal plate, releasing the fixation of the metal plate;

[0028] Specifically, first, two double-headed motors 51 are started simultaneously according to the width of the metal plate. The double-headed motors 51 drive the threaded columns 52 to rotate. The thread directions of the threaded columns 52 on both sides are opposite. The threaded columns 52 on both sides drive the threaded blocks 53 to move. The threaded blocks 53 on both sides drive the pulleys 54 to move in the slideways 55. The threaded blocks 53 on both sides drive the curved plates 56 to move. The curved plates 56 on both sides move in the housing 6. The curved plates 56 on both sides drive the cross plates 57 to move. The cross plates 57 on both sides drive the vacuum suction cups 4 to move, adjusting the distance between the two vacuum suction cups 4. After completion, the two double-headed motors 51 on both sides are stopped simultaneously. Then, multiple electric telescopic rods 582 are started simultaneously. The electric telescopic rods 582 drive the vertical columns 583 to move. The vertical columns 583 move in the mounting plate 3. The vertical columns 583 drive the arc-shaped brake blocks 584 to descend. The arc-shaped brake blocks 584 contact the outer wall of the threaded column 52, and the threaded column 52 is locked by the friction force of the arc-shaped brake blocks 584 themselves. When the threaded column 52 needs to rotate, the two electric telescopic rods 582 on both sides drive the arc-shaped brake blocks 584 to rise, leaving the surface of the threaded column 52. After completion, the gantry 1 is moved to the external feeding platform. After completion, three hydraulic cylinders 2 are started simultaneously. The hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to descend, thereby driving the vacuum suction cups 4 to descend to the surface of the metal plate. The two vacuum pumps 41 on both sides are started simultaneously. The vacuum pumps 41 suck the air between the vacuum suction cups 4 and the metal plate into the shunt pipe 43, then into the connecting pipe 42, and finally discharged through the vacuum pumps 41. At this time, the vacuum suction cups 4 suck the metal plate. When the metal plate moves to the external cutting machine, the two vacuum pumps 41 on both sides are stopped simultaneously. The vacuum suction cups 4 no longer suck the metal plate, releasing the fixation of the metal plate. After completion, the three hydraulic cylinders 2 drive the mounting plate 3 to rise simultaneously, thereby driving the metal plate to rise. After completion, the three hydraulic cylinders 2 are stopped simultaneously. The gantry 1 is moved again. The gantry 1 drives the metal plate to move to the external cutting machine, and the metal plate is placed on the external cutting machine to complete the feeding of the metal plate.

[0029] Embodiment 2. As Figures 1-3 can be seen, a reinforcing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gantry 1. The reinforcing plate 13 is fixed to the corner position at the top of the gantry 1 to support it and improve the overall strength of the gantry 1.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that the reinforcing plate 13 is fixed to the corner position at the top of the gantry 1 to support it and improve the overall strength of the gantry 1.

[0031] Furthermore, sliders 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the gantry 1. The two sliders 11 slide on the slide rails 12. The two sliders 11 drive the gantry 1 to move. The inner wall of the slider 11 is slidably clamped with the slide rail 12. The slide rail 12 is an electric slide rail, and the model of the slide rail 12 is selected according to actual needs to meet the work requirements.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that when the slide rails 12 on both sides are started simultaneously, the sliders 11 on both sides slide on the slide rails 12, and the sliders 11 on both sides drive the gantry 1 to move, realizing the movement of the gantry 1;

[0033] Specifically, the reinforcing plate 13 is fixed to the corner position at the top of the gantry 1 to support it and improve the overall strength of the gantry 1. At the same time, the slide rails 12 on both sides are started, the sliders 11 on both sides slide on the slide rails 12, and the sliders 11 on both sides drive the gantry 1 to move, realizing the movement of the gantry 1.
