Specifically, the material handling mechanism 2 includes a clamping assembly 21, which includes a first gripper 211, a second gripper 212, and a first drive member 213. The first drive member 213 is connected to the power mechanism 1. The first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 are disposed opposite to each other on the first drive member 213 along a first direction X. The first drive member 213 is used to drive the first gripper 211 and / or the second gripper 212 to move along the first direction X, so that the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 clamp or release the material 200, and to drive the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 to flip along a third direction Z, so that the clamping assembly 21 flips the material 200 along the third direction Z. The first direction X and the third direction Z are perpendicular. The power mechanism 1 is used to drive the material handling mechanism 2 to move. The first driving member 213 drives the first gripper 211 and / or the second gripper 212 to move along the first direction X, so that the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 clamp the material, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 21 to grasp the material 200 located at the loading position. The power mechanism 1 drives the clamping assembly 21 and the material 200 to move to the unloading position. Then, the first driving member 213 drives the first gripper 211 and / or the second gripper 212 to move along the first direction, so that the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 release the material, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 21 to place the material 200 at the unloading position. During the movement of the clamping assembly 21 from the loading position to the unloading position, the first driving member 213 drives the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 to flip along the third direction Z, so that the clamping assembly 21 flips the material 200 along the third direction, thereby realizing automatic grasping and flipping of the material 200 and improving the production efficiency of the material 200 in the production assembly process.

[0034] It should be noted that the first driving member 213 is used to drive the first gripper 211 and / or the second gripper 212 to move along the first direction X.

[0035] In some embodiments, the surface of the first gripper 211 facing the second gripper 212 is provided with a plurality of first clamping grooves, which are spaced apart along a second direction Y. Each first clamping groove is used to receive a material 200, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. By receiving the material 200 through the first clamping grooves, the material 200 is positioned to prevent displacement of the material 200 during clamping, and the plurality of first clamping grooves enable the clamping assembly 21 to simultaneously grasp a plurality of materials 200.

Each second clamping groove is used to receive a material 200, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. By receiving the material 200 through the second clamping grooves, the material 200 is positioned to prevent displacement of the material 200 during clamping, and the clamping assembly 21 can simultaneously grasp multiple materials 200 through the plurality of second clamping grooves.

[0037] In some embodiments, referring to FIG2, the surface of the first gripper 211 facing the second gripper 212 is provided with a plurality of first half-grooves 2111, and the surface of the second gripper 212 facing the first gripper 211 is provided with a plurality of second half-grooves 2121.

Along the first direction X, the plurality of first half-grooves 2111 are aligned one-to-one with the plurality of second half-grooves 2121. The aligned first half-grooves 2111 and the aligned second half-grooves 2121 together form a clamping groove, which is used to receive a material 200. By receiving the material 200 through the clamping groove, the material 200 is positioned to prevent the material 200 from shifting during the clamping process. The plurality of clamping grooves enable the clamping assembly 21 to simultaneously grasp a plurality of materials 200. As an example, the first drive member 213 is used to drive the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 to move towards or away from each other along the first direction X, so that the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 clamp or release the material 200, and drive the first gripper 211 and the second gripper 212 to flip along the third direction Z, thereby flipping the material 200 along the third direction Z.
