Specifically, as shown in Figure 8As shown, the connecting cylinder 421 is a horizontal cylinder and is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 41, the grabbing rod 422 is arranged in the connecting cylinder 421 and is movable in the connecting cylinder 421 in the front-rear direction, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are hinged at one end of the grabbing rod 422, the grabbing rod 422 can be driven by a motor to move in the connecting cylinder 421, when the grabbing rod 422 moves forward, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are opened to facilitate grabbing the road cone 5, when the grabbing rod 422 moves backward, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 are closed to grab the road cone 5, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can be additionally provided with a material with large friction force, so as to ensure that the road cone 5 will not slide and fall due to small friction force when the road cone 5 is grabbed. The sensor is installed on the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, so that when the road cone 5 moves into the grabbing range of the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can grab the road cone 5, when the road cone 5 reaches the ground, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can release the road cone 5, and at the same time, the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 can ensure that when the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 approach the ground road cone 5, the road cone 5 can be grabbed, and the road cone 5 can be released on the temporary storage table 31.

[0056] In some embodiments, at least one of the first grabbing part 42 and the second grabbing part 43 further comprises an elastic member (not shown in the figure), the elastic member can be arranged between and connected to the first claw 423 and the second claw 424, and the elastic member has an elastic force for driving the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 to open, so that when the grabbing rod 422 moves forward, the elastic member can drive the first claw 423 and the second claw 424 to open to grab the road cone 5.

[0057] It is worth noting that the rotation of the first disc 11, the second disc 12, the third disc 21 and the mounting frame 41 can be driven by cooperation of a motor and a gear, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically illustrate.
