[0031] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0032] When the material trolley 1 needs to be transferred, the telescopic drive component 10 drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the rack 11 to move, the rack 11 drives the third slide rail 12 to move through the fixed block 13, the movement of the third slide rail 12 drives the second fixed plate 16 and the connecting structure to move. After the third slide rail 12 moves to the designated position, the fulcrum cylinder 15 is activated, and the fulcrum cylinder 15 drives the clamping block 14 to extend to the following position. When the push plate on the production line contacts the clamping block 14, it will push the following mechanism 2 to follow the production line through the clamping block 14. During the following process, the following mechanism 2 will push the first chain to move, thereby causing the output shaft of the drive motor to rotate passively. Of course, the drive motor can also be activated to drive the first chain to move synchronously. At the same time, the X-axis cylinder 4 will also move synchronously.

[0033] Then, the Y-axis drive unit 20 is activated. The Y-axis drive unit 20, via the second chain 26 of the Y-axis drive section, drives the second slider 23 to move on the second slide rail 22 until the second slider 23 reaches the material picking position. The second slider 23 drives the lifting assembly to move below the material trolley 1. Then, the lifting cylinder 24 is activated. The lifting cylinder 24 drives the lifting plate 25 upwards. The four sets of lifting plates 25 lift the material trolley 1 upwards, causing the material trolley 1 to leave the production line. Then, the Y-axis drive unit 20, via the second chain 26 of the Y-axis drive section, drives the second slider 23 to move on the second slide rail 22 until the second slider 23 reaches the waiting position. Afterwards, the fulcrum cylinder 15 retracts, and the telescopic drive unit 10, via the third slide rail 12, drives the second fixed plate 16 and the connecting structure to move to the waiting position. At this point, the following mechanism 2 and the transfer mechanism 3 have completely left the production line.

[0034] Then, the X-axis cylinder 4 continues to move, driving the Y-axis moving assembly, Z-axis moving assembly 29, lifting assembly, and material trolley 1 to continue moving to the unloading position via the first fixed plate 18. The lifting cylinder 24 retracts, lowering the material trolley 1. Subsequently, workers or AGVs transfer the material trolley 1.

[0035] After the material trolley 1 is transferred, the X-axis moving component, the Y-axis moving component, and the chain drive component 5 return to their original positions.
