A guide plate 47 is fixedly mounted on one side of the second mounting block 45 at the bottom end of the second guide rail 42. A uniformly distributed first connecting rod 48 is rotatably mounted on the side of the first mounting block 44 and the second mounting block 45 away from the guide rod 46 at the bottom end of the second guide rail 42. A uniformly distributed second connecting rod 49 is rotatably mounted on the side of the second mounting block 45 away from the guide plate 47 at the bottom end of the third guide rail 43.

[0026] Furthermore, the second mounting block 45 is slidably connected to the guide rod 46, and one side of the second mounting block 45 at the bottom of the third guide rail 43 is slidably connected to the guide plate 47. The first guide rail 41 is symmetrically arranged about the bottom of the mounting plate 2. One end of the second connecting rod 49 is rotatably mounted on one side of the first mounting block 44. The first mounting block 44 is fixedly mounted, and the second mounting block 45 can slide on the bottom of the third guide rail 43 and the second guide rail 42 through the first connecting plate 32, so as to achieve the effect of bidirectional adjustment of the suction cup.

[0027] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 3 includes a cylinder push rod 31 fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 2. The working end of the cylinder push rod 31 is fixedly connected to a first connecting plate 32. Fixed blocks 34 are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 2. A servo motor 33 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed block 34. A threaded rod 35 is rotatably installed inside the fixed block 34. A second connecting block 36 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 35. The cylinder push rod 31 can cooperate with the first connecting plate 32 to drive the adjustment mechanism 4 to adjust the longitudinal spacing between the suction cups 5. The servo motor 33, in cooperation with the second connecting plate 36, drives the adjustment mechanism to adjust the lateral spacing between the suction cups 5.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom end of the first connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the side of the guide plate 47 away from the second mounting block 45, the output end of the servo motor 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed block 34 and the threaded rod 35, and the bottom end of the second connecting block 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the third guide rail 43, which is slidably mounted on the bottom end of the first guide rail 41, near the guide plate 47.

[0029] Furthermore, the suction cup 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first mounting block 44 and the second mounting block 45, and the suction cup 5 can be adjusted bidirectionally according to the first mounting block 44 and the second mounting block 45.

[0030] Furthermore, the suction cup 5 is a vacuum suction cup with cushioning.

[0031] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0032] In use, the operator first connects the combined suction cup to the drive device through frame 1. Then, the drive device can move the device to the square plate to be processed for conveying. The suction cup 5 picks up the square plate, and then the drive device conveys the square plate to the bending area for bending.

[0033] Furthermore, when processing directional plates of different sizes, if the size of the square plate is too large, the distance between the suction cups 5 is adjusted by the drive mechanism 3 in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism 4 to accommodate the square plate. First, the cylinder push rod 31 is activated, which pushes the first connecting plate 32 to move. The first connecting plate 32 drives the second mounting block 44, which is slidably mounted on the bottom of the second guide rail 42, to slide. Then, the first connecting rod 48 is used to uniformly adjust the distance between each group of second mounting blocks 45. At the same time, the second mounting block 45, which is slidably mounted on the bottom of the third guide rail 43, slides on the bottom of the third guide rail 43 to adjust the longitudinal distance between the suction cups 5.

[0034] Furthermore, by starting the servo motor 33, the threaded rod 35 is driven to rotate. Then, the threaded rod 35 can drive the second connecting block 36 to move. The second connecting block 36 drives the third guide rail 43 to slide at the bottom end of the first guide rail 41. The second mounting block 45 installed at the bottom end of the third guide rail 43 slides outside the guide rod 46. At the same time, one side of the second mounting block 45 can slide inside the guide plate 47. Through the cooperation of the guide rod 46 and the guide plate 47, the second mounting block 45 is guided during adjustment and made more stable during adjustment. Then, the lateral spacing between the suction cups 5 can be adjusted by adjusting the second mounting block 45.

[0035] Furthermore, the distance between the suction cups 5 is adjusted bidirectionally by the drive mechanism 3 in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism 4. After the suction cups 5 are adjusted according to the size of the square plate to be processed, the square plate can be picked up by the suction cups 5 and then transported to the bending area for subsequent processing.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
