[0020] As attached Figure 1 The diagram shows a material handling device for a conveyor line according to this utility model. It includes a machine base 1, a conveyor line 2, and a material handling mechanism installed between the machine base 1 and the conveyor line 2. The material handling mechanism includes a base 3 and a movable platform 4 vertically slidably connected to the base 3. A rotating platform 5 is mounted on the top surface of the movable platform 4. The movable platform 4 has a drive device inside that drives the rotating platform 5 to rotate on a horizontal plane. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 As shown, the drive device includes a drive gear 6, a driven gear 7, and a servo motor 8. The drive gear 6 is mounted on the output end of the servo motor 8. The drive gear 6 and the driven gear 7 mesh with each other. The driven gear 7 is coaxial with the rotary table 5. A synchronous connector 9 is installed between the driven gear 7 and the rotary table 5 to fix them together. At least two outwardly extending cantilever arms 10 are mounted around the rotary table 5. The ends of the cantilever arms 10 are connected to mounting bases 11, and at least one electric gripper 12 is mounted on the mounting base 11. In this embodiment, three cantilever arms 10 are evenly spaced on the rotary table 5, and three electric grippers 12 are spaced on the mounting base 11 to efficiently pick up materials in batches and transfer them to the conveyor line.

[0021] A cylinder is installed inside the base 3. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the moving platform 4 so that the moving platform 4 can be lifted so that the electric gripper 12 can remove the gripped part from above, thus avoiding collision with other structures when the electric gripper 12 rotates.

[0022] The mobile platform 4 includes a first cavity 41 and a second cavity 42 that are connected. The first cavity 41 is used to accommodate the driving gear 6 and the driven gear 7, and the second cavity 42 is used to accommodate the servo motor 8. One side of the first cavity 41 and the second cavity 42 overlap, and the projection of the first cavity 41 on the ground covers the projection of the second cavity 42 on the ground, so that the shape of the mobile platform 4 matches the internal structure and makes full use of space. The base 3 and the mobile platform 4 are combined to form a cuboid, making the structure compact, reducing the floor space, and improving space utilization.

[0023] A support base 13 is installed on the rotary table 5. A vertical extension base 14 is connected to the support base 13. The cantilever 10 is connected to the extension base 14. Triangular reinforcing frames 15 are connected between the support base 13 and the extension base 14, and between the extension base 14 and the cantilever 10, to improve the overall strength, prevent the cantilever 10 from deforming and affecting the movement trajectory, and make the gripping and transfer of parts more stable and reliable.

[0024] In use, the servo motor 8 drives the rotary table 5 to rotate a cantilever 10 to the machine base 1. The electric gripper 12 picks up the part on the machine base 1. The cylinder drives the moving table 4 to rise and lift the part off the machine base 1. Then the rotary table 5 rotates another angle so that the electric gripper 12 that picks up the part rotates to above the conveyor line 2. The cylinder retracts the moving table 4 and it falls back down. At the same time, the electric gripper 12 releases and places the part on the conveyor line 2. The above steps are repeated to complete the material picking.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
