[0027] Specifically, the processing equipment uses a mechanical hand to load and unload the workbench, when loading, the jacking drive part of the jacking mechanism 2 drives the plurality of jacking parts 25 to retract in the jacking hole, so that the top end of the jacking part 25 is lower than the top surface of the table plate 1, the clamping jaw of the mechanical hand clamps the board to be processed and places the board to be processed on the top surface of the table plate 1, and the processing equipment processes the board to be processed on the workbench. When unloading, the clamping jaw of the mechanical hand is accurately positioned above the processed board after receiving a signal, at the same time, the jacking mechanism 2 is immediately started, the jacking drive part drives the plurality of jacking parts 25 to extend out of the jacking hole, so that the top end surface of the jacking part 25 is higher than the top surface of the table plate 1 and abuts against the bottom surface of the processed board, the jacking part 25 jacks up the processed board to separate from the supporting surface, to provide operation space for the clamping jaw of the mechanical hand, the clamping jaw of the mechanical hand easily clamps the processed board to move or process, the seamless connection of the series of work not only shows the maturity and advancement of automation technology, but also greatly improves production, reduces operation difficulty, reduces physical damage caused by the clamping jaw to the board, such as scratching or bending, and provides favorable guarantee for accurate processing of the board.
