When the push plate 21 pushes the corrected cover 201 to slide along the guide 6121 into the groove 202 on the tool box 200, the guide 6121 guides the cover 201. The roller 6122 and the guide 6121 cooperate to facilitate the cover 201 to slide along the guide block 612 into the groove 202 on the tool box 200.

[0042] A limiting cylinder 6123 is provided on the guide plate 411, and a limiting plate 6124 is provided at the output end of the limiting cylinder 6123. The limiting cylinder 6123 is used to drive the limiting plate 6124 to abut against the tool box 200. When the cover is installed, the lifting cylinder lifts the tool box 200 to correspond to the push cover plate 21. At the same time, the limiting cylinder 6123 drives the limiting plate 6124 to abut against the end of the tool box 200 away from the push cover plate 21, so that the tool box 200 is not easy to move when the cover is installed.

[0043] The material suction assembly includes a moving module 31, a rotary cylinder 32 disposed at the output end of the moving module 31, and a vacuum suction head 33 disposed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 32.
