[0037] The operation process of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0038] Step 1: When the carrier containing the product flows into the work station, the CCD takes a photo and scans the code, and then the suction unit 500 moves to the top of the carrier under the action of the first rotating unit 200 and the X-axis movement unit 300;

[0039] Step 2: The Z-axis movement unit 100 drives the suction unit 500 to move downward, so that the suction cup 510 contacts the product, and the position of the suction unit 500 is adjusted accurately by the second rotating unit 400;

[0040] Step 3: The suction cup 510 is pressed downward and vacuum is turned on to suck the product, the Z-axis movement unit 100 drives the suction cup 510 to move upward, and the product is transported to the designated position under the action of the first rotating unit 200, the X-axis movement unit 300 and the second rotating unit 400;

[0041] Step 4: The suction cup 510 is de-vacuumed, and the Z-axis movement unit 100 is moved downward, thereby completing the operation of automatically transporting the product from the flow line position to the designated position, and the first rotating unit 200 is reset to wait for the next instruction.

[0042] The product handling mechanism automatically handles the products in the carrier in the flow line. After the carrier flows into the working position, the CCD locates the carrier, guides the suction unit 500 to move to the accurate position, and then the suction unit 500 turns on the vacuum to suck and transport the product. The whole process is automatically controlled, avoiding manual operation, the running stroke is controllable, improving the production efficiency, the handling mechanism is easy to maintain and replace, avoiding the problem of too high material cost proportion, saving a lot of labor and reducing the production cost.
