The conveying assembly includes a lifting component that slides with the lifting support and a carrying component mounted on the lifting component for carrying the workpiece. The drive assembly drives the lifting component to move up and down along the lifting support and fixes the lifting component at any position on the lifting support.

[0053] Working Principle: The CNC machine tool workpiece loading and unloading device is correctly installed according to the diagram. When using this device, firstly, the lifting motor 2 drives the bearing device 3 to its lowest position. During descent, the guide sliding hole 18 on the side wall of the bearing plate 10 in the bearing device 3 slides along the guide rod 5 inside the support frame 1. Simultaneously, the slider 17 at the bottom of the reinforcing rib 16 on the side wall of the bearing plate 10 slides along the sliding groove 6 on the side wall of the support frame 1. This double-guided structure ensures the smooth descent of the bearing plate 10. When the bearing plate 10 reaches its lowest position, a large workpiece to be processed is pushed onto the bearing plate 10. The equally spaced rolling rollers 11 on the bearing plate 10 reduce friction when the workpiece is placed. Simultaneously, the irregularly shaped limiting pin 12 on the side inserts into the limiting hole 14 to limit the rolling direction of the workpiece, preventing it from sliding on the bearing plate 10. Subsequently, the lifting motor 2 starts, and its output shaft, through threaded engagement with the threaded bushing 13 at the center of the end face of the bearing plate 10, drives the bearing plate... As the bearing plate 10 rises, the guide slide hole 18 and guide rod 5, and the slider 17 and slide groove 6 continuously cooperate to ensure that the bearing plate 10 rises smoothly to a position parallel to the machine tool processing table. At this time, the pushing device 4 starts to work. Two axially symmetrical electric push rods 19 drive the push plate 20 to slide along the slide groove 15 on the top of the bearing plate 10. The slider 22 at the bottom of the push plate 20 cooperates with the slide groove 15 to ensure the stability of the push plate 20 when pushing the workpiece. The rubber layer 21 on the side of the push plate 20 away from the electric push rod 19 contacts the side of the workpiece to protect the workpiece during the pushing process and avoid damage to the workpiece surface. The workpiece is pushed into the machine tool until the position is adjusted by the operator and processing can begin. After processing is completed, the processed workpiece can be transferred from the machine tool to the bearing plate 10 through the reverse operation process. Then the bearing plate 10 descends to transport the workpiece out. This can greatly reduce manual handling and output, achieve effective labor-saving operation, and improve the overall structural safety.
