[0002] Tin stacks are stacking structures used in industrial production for storing and transporting tin products. After tin stacks come off the production line, they need to be moved to designated locations by mechanical equipment for both warehousing and retrieval. Typically, a single tin stack weighs 1000 kg and has dimensions of 550 mm * 550 mm * 60 mm. Identical two-dimensional barcodes are affixed to both surfaces at a 90° angle to record tin stack information.

[0003] However, the traditional tin stack handling mode, which involves manual forklift handling or using chains to suspend the tin stack and manually controlling the overhead crane, has technical problems: 1) It involves a large workload, high labor intensity for workers, low loading efficiency, and the lifting route intersects with the operation area, posing safety risks; 2) Warehouse entry and exit are done manually, requiring sufficient passage space and wasting warehouse storage area; 3) Product entry and exit management is difficult, with more manual intervention and significant loopholes in production and operation risk control.

[0004] Therefore, providing an efficient tin stack handling fixture and handling equipment is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
