The two sprockets 35 are engaged with the chain 34, thereby driving the movement of the plurality of product limiting platforms 32. The chain 34 is limited and matched with the product limiting platforms 32 to carry the plurality of product limiting platforms 32.
[0032] In this embodiment, the working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the product component rising process:
[0034] The product component to be transported comes to the bottom of the product lifting module 2, the first horizontal moving component 22 adjusts the position of the first clamping component 23, the first clamping component 23 clamps the product component, and the lifting drive motor 21 drives the product component to rise to the specified position.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the product component translation process:
[0036] The first horizontal moving component 22 adjusts the position of the first clamping component 23, and the platform sensor 88 of the translation support frame 30 close to the product rising module 2 senses whether the product limiting platform is in place. After the product limiting platform is in place, the first clamping component 23 releases the product component, and the product component is limited and engaged on the product limiting platform. The product sensor 99 senses that the product component is in place, and the driving component 31 drives the product limiting platform 32 to move to the specified position.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the product component descent process:
[0038] The platform sensor 88 of the translation support frame 30 close to the product descending module 4 senses whether the product limiting platform is in place. After the product limiting platform is in place, the second horizontal moving component 42 adjusts the position of the second clamping component 43, and the second clamping component 43 clamps the product component on the product limiting platform 32. The descending drive 41 drives the product component to descend to the specified position. The second horizontal moving component 42 adjusts the position of the second clamping component 43, and the second clamping component 43 releases the product component, allowing the product component to enter the next workstation.
[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not limit the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
