[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the hydraulic telescopic rod 46 extends, pushing the fixed frame 44 downward along the slide rail 43. At the same time, the vacuum pump 47 starts, causing the vacuum suction cup 45 to generate negative pressure and adsorb the material. The hydraulic telescopic rod 46 retracts, causing the material to rise. Then, the drive motor 411 drives the gear 410 to rotate along the toothed plate 49, causing the mounting frame 41 to move laterally along the slide rail 48 to above the placement net 35 via the slider. The hydraulic telescopic rod 46 extends again, the vacuum pump 47 stops working, and the vacuum suction cup 45 releases the material. The material is fed into the feeding assembly 3, and the material to be dried is placed in the placement net 35. The clamp 34 clamps and fixes the placement net 35. Then, the drive motor 31 drives the transmission component to rotate, which in turn moves the placement rack 32 to the entrance of the corresponding level of the drying oven 1. Then, the drive motor 33 starts, which drives the placement net 35 to move into the inner cavity of the drying oven 1 through the sprocket 2, sprocket 3 and chain for drying. After the material is dried, the above operation is reversed to realize the unloading operation, realizing the automated cycle of loading and unloading.
