Side plates 11 are rotatably connected to the top sides of the electric push rods 2. The combination of the electric push rods 2 and the side plates 11 can control the gripping range of the robot to adapt to sand cores of different sizes. Fixed rods 3 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the top of the top plate 1. Connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected through and between the tops of the fixed rods 3 in pairs. A side plate motor 12 is fixedly connected through and to one side of the top of the side plate 11, and the output end of the side plate motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top sides of the electric push rods 2. The side plate motor 12 can adjust the angle of the side plate to adapt to different situations. The side plate 11 has evenly distributed airbags 13 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of its inner side, and each airbag 13 is equipped with a pressure sensor. An air pump 15 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the outer side of the side plate 11, and a side auxiliary plate 14 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the inner side of the side plate 11. During operation, the air pump 15 will inflate the airbag 13 to make it bulge and wrap the sand core. When the pressure sensor inside the airbag 13 senses the appropriate pressure, it will stop the air pump 15 and start moving the sand core.

[0032] A guide rail 22 is provided on the rear side below the top plate 1. A gear groove 19 is opened on the lower side of the guide rail 22. A fixed tooth 21 with horizontally evenly distributed teeth is fixedly connected to one side of the gear groove 19. A transmission gear 16 is rotatably connected to the gear groove 19, and the transmission gear 16 meshes with the fixed tooth 21. A bottom motor 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission gear 16. The combination of the bottom motor 17, the transmission gear 16, and the fixed tooth 21 can drive the device to move along the guide rail 22 to transport the sand core. A power supply groove 20 is opened on the upper side of the guide rail 22. A receiver 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom motor 17, and the receiver 18 is slidably connected to the power supply groove 20. The power supply groove 20 can supply power to the receiver 18 during operation, ensuring normal power supply when the equipment moves on the guide rail 22. A base 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the receiver 18, and pulleys 23 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the base 10. A base fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 10. A first motor 24 is fixedly connected to the middle of the base fixing block 9.

[0033] Working principle: During operation, the power supply slot 20 in the guide rail 22 supplies power to the device through the receiver 18. The position of the top plate 1 is adjusted by the moving rod connected to the base 10 and the base fixing block 9 and the motor connected to the moving rod, so that the top plate 1 is above the sand core. The electric push rod 2 pushes the side plate 11, and the two side plates 11 and the top plate 1 wrap around the sand core. The air pump 15 works to inflate the air bag 13 so that it inflates and fits tightly against the sand core. When the air pressure sensor in the air bag 13 detects the appropriate air pressure, it will stop the air pump 15 and cause the device to pick up the sand core. The bottom motor 17 drives the transmission gear 16 to rotate in the gear groove 19, and the device moves along the guide rail 22 by relying on the meshing fixed teeth 21.
