The handling device can include a base 1, a lateral movement mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a jaw mechanism 4. The lateral movement mechanism 2 is disposed between the base 1 and the lifting mechanism 3.

[0031] The base 1 has a top plate 11, and the top plate 11 can be a square plate. The lateral movement mechanism 2 is disposed on the top plate 11 of the base 1. The lateral movement mechanism 2 is disposed below the base 1, the lifting mechanism 3 is disposed below the lateral movement mechanism 2, and the jaw mechanism 4 is disposed below the lifting mechanism 3, so that the base 1, the lateral movement mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, and the jaw mechanism 4 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The lifting mechanism 3 is connected between the lateral movement mechanism 2 and the jaw mechanism 4. The jaw mechanism 4 can be used to grip the vehicle 100, and the vehicle 100 can be driven by the lateral movement mechanism 2 to move along a lateral movement direction A, and the vehicle 100 can be driven by the lifting mechanism 3 to move up and down, so that the vehicle 100 can be transported to a predetermined position.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the lateral movement mechanism 2 includes a lateral movement power group, at least one two-stage slide rail 23, and at least one lateral movement belt group 24. The lateral movement power group includes a lateral movement motor 21 and a screw group 22. The lateral movement motor 21, the screw group 22, the two-stage slide rail 23, and the lateral movement belt group 24 can be disposed in an upper housing 25. The screw group 22 is connected between the lateral movement motor 21 and the lateral movement belt group 24, so that the lateral movement belt group 24 is connected to the lateral movement power group. The two-stage slide rail 23 is connected between the top plate 11 of the base 1 and the lateral movement belt group 24, and the two-stage slide rail 23 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3. The two-stage slide rail 23 can guide the lifting mechanism 3 and the jaw mechanism 4 to move along a lateral movement direction A.

[0033] The lateral movement motor 21 can be disposed below the top plate 11 of the base 1. The screw group 22 can include a screw 221, a nut 222, and a linkage member 223.

The linkage member 223 is connected to the nut 222, and one end of the screw 221 can be connected to the lateral movement motor 21 through a transmission group 224. The transmission group 224 can be a belt transmission group, a gear transmission group, or the like. When the lateral movement motor 21 rotates, it can drive the screw 221 to rotate through the transmission group 224 to drive the nut 222 and the linkage member 223 to move along the lateral movement direction A. The lateral movement direction A can be a horizontal direction. The linkage member 223 is connected to the lateral movement belt group 24, so that the screw group 22 is connected to the lateral movement belt group 24.

[0034] The two-stage slide rail 23 is connected between the top plate 11 of the base 1 and the transverse movement belt group 24. The two-stage slide rail 23 extends an appropriate length along the transverse movement direction A, so as to guide the lifting mechanism 3 and the gripper mechanism 4 to move along the transverse movement direction A. Preferably, two sets of two-stage slide rails 23 can be provided. The two sets of two-stage slide rails 23 are arranged at intervals and are parallel to each other, which can more stably guide the transverse movement of the lifting mechanism 3 and the gripper mechanism 4. The structure of the two-stage slide rail 23 is not limited.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the two-stage slide rail 23 may include a slide rail unit 231, at least one upper slider 232 and at least one lower slider 233. The upper slider 232 and the lower slider 233 are respectively slidably arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the slide rail unit 231. Preferably, two or more upper sliders 232 and lower sliders 233 can be respectively provided. The upper slider 232 can be connected to the top plate 11 of the base 1, so that the two-stage slide rail 23 can be connected to the top plate 11 of the base 1. The slide rail unit 231 can slide relative to the upper slider 232 to guide the first moving stroke. The lower slider 233 can move relative to the slide rail unit 231 to guide the second moving stroke, so that the two-stage slide rail 23 can guide two moving strokes. The lower slider 233 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3, so that the two-stage slide rail 23 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3, and the transverse movement mechanism 2 is connected to the lifting mechanism 3. The two-stage slide rail 23 and the transverse movement belt group 24 can perform a two-stage stroke, which can increase the moving stroke of the transverse movement mechanism 2.

[0036] The transverse movement belt group 24 is arranged on one side of the two-stage slide rail 23. The transverse movement belt group 24 may include two wheel seats 241, two belt pulleys 242 and a transmission belt 243. The two belt pulleys 242 are respectively pivotally arranged on the two wheel seats 241, and the transmission belt 243 is wound around the two belt pulleys 242. The transmission belt 243 can be respectively connected to the upper slider 232 and the lower slider 233 through a first connecting member 244 and a second connecting member 245, so that the transverse movement belt group 24 is connected to the two-stage slide rail 23. The transverse movement belt group 24 may be provided with an adjusting device 246, which can be used to adjust the tension of the transmission belt 243 to keep the transmission belt 243 at an appropriate tightness. In this embodiment, the adjusting device 246 is an adjusting screw, which can rotate to adjust the distance between the two belt pulleys 242 to adjust the tension of the transmission belt 243.

[0037] When the transverse movement motor 21 rotates, it can drive the screw rod 221 to rotate through the transmission group 224, so as to drive the nut 222 and the linkage member 223 to move along the transverse movement direction A. Furthermore, the transverse movement belt group 24 is linked by the linkage member 223 to move along the transverse movement direction A, and the first-stage movement stroke can be carried out. When the transverse movement belt group 24 moves forward along the transverse movement direction A, the transverse movement belt group 24 can also push the second-stage movement stroke, so that the lower slider 233 can move relative to the slide rail unit 231, and drive the lifting mechanism 3 and the jaw mechanism 4 to move forward along the transverse movement direction A. By using the two-stage slide rail 23 and the transverse movement belt group 24, a two-stage stroke can be carried out, and the movement stroke of the transverse movement mechanism 2 can be increased.

[0038] The two-stage slide rail 23 of the present transverse movement mechanism is matched with the transverse movement belt group 24, and a two-stage stroke can be carried out, and the movement stroke of the transverse movement mechanism can be increased, so as to transverse the vehicle to a farther position.

[0039] The above embodiments are the preferred implementation solutions of the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present utility model.
