[0026] A second support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1. A cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second support frame 9. The cylinder 10 drives the U-shaped plate 11 to move down, which in turn drives the gripper 21 to move down, so that the gripper 21 can be moved to a position where it can grab, thus avoiding the situation where the gripper 21 misses the target. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 11. A drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 11. The drive motor 12 drives the mounting block 13 to rotate, transferring the material to another position. The output shaft of the drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 13. A hydraulic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting block 13. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 14. The hydraulic rod 14 drives the connecting block 15 to move inside the U-shaped plate 22, which drives the gripper 21 to move inward and grab irregularly shaped materials. A first rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 15.
[0027] The L-shaped mounting plate 2 has mounting holes 201 inside. An infrared sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support frame 3. The infrared sensor 4 detects the approach of the material. A vacuum pump 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support frame 3. The vacuum pump 23 uses a pipe to make a vacuum suction cup 8 suck up the material. After the material transfer is completed, the sucked material is unloaded. The suction component includes a connecting column 5. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column 5. Several electric push rods 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 6. Vacuum suction cups 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rods 7. The electric push rods 7 drive the vacuum suction cups 8 to move down and suck up and grab the material with a smooth and flat surface. The gripping component includes a hydraulic rod 14. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 14. A first rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 15. A first mounting plate 17 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 16. A second rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the first mounting plate 17. A second mounting plate 19 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 18. The second mounting plate 19 is connected to the bottom of the molded plate 22 via a third rotating shaft 20. The first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate 19 are connected via the second rotating shaft 18. A third rotating shaft 20 is rotatably connected to one end of the second mounting plate 19. A gripper 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the second mounting plate 19. The gripper 21 is located on the side of the vacuum suction cup 8. A molded plate 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting block 13. The upper end of the molded plate 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third rotating shaft 20.
[0028] Working principle: In use, the first support frame 3 is installed on the top of the mounting base 1 through the mounting hole 201 inside the L-shaped mounting plate 2. The mounting base 1 is then installed at the position where the material needs to be gripped. The infrared sensor 4 detects the approach of the material, and the electric push rod 7 drives the vacuum suction cup 8 to move down. The vacuum pump 23 pumps air through the pipeline, causing the vacuum suction cup 8 to suck up and grip the smooth and flat material. After the material transfer is completed, air is inflated again to unload the material. The first mounting plate 17 and the second mounting plate 19 are connected by the second rotating shaft 18, and the second mounting plate 19 is connected by the third rotating shaft 20. The bottom of the U-shaped plate 22 is connected. When the hydraulic rod 14 drives the connecting block 15 to move inside the U-shaped plate 22, the first mounting plate 17 on the side of the connecting block 15 moves outward, driving the gripper 21 to move inward and grab the irregularly shaped material. When the gripper 21 is far away from the material, the cylinder 10 drives the U-shaped plate 11 to move down, driving the gripper 21 to move down, so that the gripper 21 moves to a position where it can grab, effectively avoiding the situation where the gripper 21 grabs empty. When the gripper 21 grabs the material, the transmission motor 12 is started. The transmission motor 12 drives the mounting block 13 to rotate, transferring the material to other positions.
