[0050] In the embodiment, the distance between the two abutting rods in each group of abutting assemblies is 200 mm. In other embodiments, the distance between the two abutting rods is not limited, but is determined according to actual conditions.

[0051] In summary, the working process of the plate grabbing device shown in the embodiment is as follows: when grabbing, the grabbing device inhales, the inner side suction accessory shrinks due to the vacuum pressure difference, the inner side suction accessory is compressed, thereby generating suction force to adsorb the plate and lift it up by 20 mm, the lower part of the resisting rod is flush with the lower part of the inner side suction accessory to resist the two ends of the plate and prevent the two sides from being lifted up; the target plate, i.e. the 200 mm wide part in the middle of the topmost plate, is bent upward, and due to the elasticity of the plate, the second plate can still remain flat within such a short distance, forming a gap between the two plates; the air blowing separation assembly on both sides is opened to deliver airflow between the target plate and the plate below it, the blown compressed air forms a air knife to completely separate the target plate from the remaining plate below, the suction assembly is slowly lifted by 100 mm by the motor drive, and then the air blowing stops; the suction assembly only sucks up the target plate and places it on the suction machine conveying device, avoiding the suction of multiple plates.

[0052] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present application, and any improvement made on the basis of the concept of the present application is considered to be within the protection scope of the present application.
