Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, and in particular to a paddle-type film loading machine and its corresponding film loading system. Background Technology
[0002] After firing, ceramic tile blanks require surface processing. The blanks are typically stacked flat on a rack, and then manually or using a clamping mechanism, they are fed onto a conveyor belt for transport to the surface processing station. The tile loading machine is a pre-processing unit for automated tile packaging; its main function is to load tiles from the rack onto the conveyor belt of the automatic packaging machine in predetermined quantities.
[0003] Currently, common brick-loading machines mainly employ two methods: One method uses a robotic arm to suck up tiles one by one onto a conveyor belt, stacking them to a predetermined number for packaging, before sending them to a packaging machine for final packaging. This method is slow, inefficient, and only suitable for flat-stacking tiles. The other method involves flat-stacking tiles onto a support structure, using a lifting mechanism to raise the tiles to the height of the conveyor belt, and then using a tile pusher to push them onto the conveyor belt. This method results in significant surface friction between the tiles, creating friction marks that affect tile quality; furthermore, this method is also only suitable for flat-stacking tiles. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to address the technical deficiencies mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pusher-type film loading machine and its corresponding film loading system.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A paddle-type loading machine is installed between a plate chain conveyor belt and a trolley, on which raw materials to be transported are stacked vertically at an angle. It includes a base, a swing arm, a drive assembly for driving the swing arm to reciprocate, a suction cup assembly fixed to the swing arm, and a first swing rod assembly linked to the swing arm. The suction cup assembly is used to absorb the raw materials. The axis of the swing arm is on the same straight line as the swing axis of the currently transported raw material. The swing arm drives the currently transported raw material to swing to a first station via the suction cup assembly. The drive assembly drives the first swing rod assembly to support and swing the currently transported raw material to a second station.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the axis of the swing arm and the swing axis of the currently transported material are on the same straight line, ensuring that the swing arm rotates synchronously with the currently transported material. This prevents the currently transported material from colliding with adjacent materials stacked on the trolley during rotation, effectively preventing bumps and chipping, and protecting the quality and appearance of the material. The suction cup assembly firmly adheres to the currently transported material, and the drive assembly drives the swing arm to swing towards the first station. When it swings to the first station, the first swing arm assembly abuts against the side of the currently transported material, the suction cup assembly moves away, and the first swing arm assembly swings downwards by a set amplitude before moving away again to lower the currently transported material onto the plate chain conveyor belt. During the lowering process, the first swing arm assembly provides support. The entire process is fully automated, resulting in higher efficiency, lower cost, and better material quality. This paddle-type loading machine is suitable for use in specialized intelligent packaging equipment, offering higher transfer efficiency and improving the efficiency of material packaging.
[0008] Furthermore, the first swing arm assembly includes a first swing arm and a swing arm drive unit. The swing arm drive unit is fixed to the swing arm and connected to the first swing arm. The swing arm drive unit drives the first swing arm to reciprocate between the working position and the cradle position. The first swing arm supports the currently transported material and swings it to the second working position. Initially, the suction cup assembly is adsorbed and connected to the currently transported material, and the first swing arm is located at the cradle position. When the currently transported material is at the first working position, the first swing arm abuts against the side of the currently transported material, and the suction cup assembly separates from the currently transported material. When the currently transported material is at the second working position, the first swing arm separates from the currently transported material to return to the cradle position, and the currently transported material is placed onto the plate chain conveyor belt. Driven by the swing arm drive unit, the first swing arm swings from the cradle position to the working position, causing the first swing arm to abut against the side of the currently transported material. The suction cup assembly moves away, and the swing arm continues to swing to place the currently transported material. During the placement process, the first swing arm provides support. After the first pendulum swings to the second station, it swings from the working position to the resting position under the drive of the pendulum drive unit. The raw material is then transported and falls onto the plate chain conveyor belt. The whole process is fully automated, which is more efficient, lower in cost, and ensures better quality of raw materials.
[0009] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided at the upper end of the swing arm. The swing arm drive unit includes a swing arm cylinder, a first connecting shaft, and a first connecting rod. The swing arm cylinder is disposed on one side of the mounting base, and the output shaft of the swing arm cylinder is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod, while the other end of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the first swing arm. One end of the first connecting shaft is fixed to the mounting base, and the other end of the first connecting shaft is connected to the first connecting rod via a bearing. This design is simple in structure, low in cost, and features a recessed design, resulting in higher operating efficiency.
[0010] Furthermore, the first pendulum assembly also includes a magnetic switch, which is disposed on the mounting base. The magnetic switch is used to detect whether the first pendulum is in contact with the currently transported material, thereby improving safety performance.
[0011] Furthermore, the suction cup assembly includes a suction cup driving unit, a universal base, and a suction cup; the suction cup driving unit is disposed on the other side of the mounting base, and the universal base is fixedly connected to the end of the suction cup driving unit. The body of the suction cup is movably connected to the universal base. The suction cup driving unit is used to drive the suction cup to move closer to or away from the currently transported material, thereby improving compatibility and ensuring that the suction cup completely and firmly adsorbs the currently transported material.
[0012] Furthermore, the suction cup driving unit includes a suction cup driving cylinder, a second connecting shaft, a second connecting rod, and a fixing plate. The suction cup driving cylinder is fixed to the other side of the mounting base, improving space utilization and resulting in a more compact structure. The output shaft of the suction cup driving cylinder is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod, and the other end of the second connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate. One end of the second connecting shaft is fixed to the mounting base, and the other end of the second connecting shaft is connected to the second connecting rod via a bearing. The other end of the fixing plate is connected to the universal joint, ensuring stable transmission and facilitating easier installation and disassembly.
[0013] Furthermore, the paddle-type loading machine also includes a transmission rod assembly. The transmission rod assembly includes a support arm and a transmission rod unit. One end of the support arm is connected to the base via a bearing, and the swing center of the support arm is coaxial with the swing center of the swing arm. The other end of the support arm is provided with the first swing arm assembly. One end of the transmission rod unit is hinged to the lower end of the swing arm, and the other end of the transmission rod unit is hinged to the support arm. The transmission rod unit is used to cause the swing arm to move the support arm closer or further apart, allowing the support arm and swing arm to relay the load, which can reduce the swing stroke of the swing arm and improve the product handling efficiency.
[0014] Furthermore, the transmission rod unit includes a first transmission rod, a second transmission rod, and a third transmission rod. One end of the first transmission rod is hinged to the lower end of the swing arm, the other end of the first transmission rod is hinged to one end of the second transmission rod, and the other end of the second transmission rod is hinged to one end of the third transmission rod. The second transmission rod is slidably connected to the base, allowing it to reciprocate horizontally. This improves the accuracy of the reciprocating motion of the first and third transmission rods, enabling precise control of the arm's running path and enhancing handling accuracy and efficiency. The other end of the third transmission rod is hinged to the arm. The first, second, and third transmission rods are all located on the lower side of the arm, avoiding interference during operation, resulting in a compact structure and higher space utilization.
[0015] Furthermore, the paddle-type loading machine also includes a second swing arm assembly, which is disposed at the lower end of the swing arm. The second swing arm assembly abuts against the other side of the last piece of material, so that the last piece of material is clamped and fixed between the suction cup assembly and the second swing arm assembly or between the first swing arm assembly and the second swing arm assembly to fix the last piece of material. This can prevent the last piece of material from slipping, improve the handling efficiency, and protect the material.
[0016] The loading system includes any of the aforementioned paddle-type loading machines, and further includes a feeding conveyor belt, a plate chain conveyor belt, and a loading detection component; a trolley is placed on the feeding conveyor belt, the plate chain conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt are spaced apart, and the paddle-type loading machine is located between the plate chain conveyor belt and the feeding conveyor belt; the loading detection component is located on one side of the feeding conveyor belt and is used to detect whether the axis of the swing arm and the swing axis of the currently transported raw material are on the same straight line.
[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] In this invention, the axis of the swing arm is aligned with the swing axis of the material being transported, ensuring synchronous rotation between the swing arm and the material. This prevents the material from colliding with adjacent materials on the trolley during rotation, effectively preventing chipping and damage, and protecting the quality and appearance of the material. The suction cup assembly firmly holds the material, and the drive assembly propels the swing arm towards the first workstation. Upon reaching the first workstation, the first swing arm assembly abuts against the side of the material, the suction cup assembly moves away, and the first swing arm assembly swings downwards by a set distance before moving away again to lower the material onto the conveyor belt. During the lowering process, the first swing arm assembly provides support. The entire process is fully automated, resulting in higher efficiency, lower costs, and better material quality.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below.
[0031] A type of spooler 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, it is positioned between the plate chain conveyor belt 22 and the trolley 23, on which raw materials 24 to be transported are stacked vertically at an angle. It includes a base 11, a swing arm 12, a drive assembly 13 for driving the swing arm 12 to reciprocate, a suction cup assembly 14 fixed to the swing arm 12, and a first swing rod assembly 15 linked to the swing arm 12. The suction cup assembly 14 is used to attract the raw materials 24. The axis of the swing arm 12 is on the same straight line as the swing axis of the currently transported raw materials 24. The swing arm 12 drives the currently transported raw materials 24 to swing to the first station 26 via the suction cup assembly 14. The drive assembly 13 drives the first swing rod assembly 15 to support and swing the currently transported raw materials 24 to the second station.
[0032] The axis of the swing arm 12 is aligned with the swing axis of the material being transported 24, ensuring synchronous rotation between them. This prevents the material from colliding with adjacent materials on the trolley 23 during rotation, effectively preventing chipping and protecting the quality and appearance of the material. The suction cup assembly 14 firmly holds the material, and the drive assembly 13 drives the swing arm 12 to swing towards the first station 26. Upon reaching the first station 26, the first swing arm assembly 15 contacts the side of the material, the suction cup assembly 14 moves away, and the first swing arm assembly 15 swings downwards by a set distance before moving away again to lower the material onto the conveyor belt 22. During this lowering process, the first swing arm assembly 15 provides support. The entire process is fully automated, resulting in higher efficiency, lower costs, and better quality of the material. This slat-type sheet loading machine 1 is suitable for use in specialized intelligent packaging equipment, offering higher transfer efficiency and improving the efficiency of raw material packaging. Furthermore, this slat-type sheet loading machine 1 can be applied to industries such as glass, ceramics, wood, and lithium batteries.
[0033] In the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first swing arm assembly 15 includes a first swing arm 151 and a swing arm drive unit 152. The swing arm drive unit 152 is fixed to the swing arm 12 and is connected to the first swing arm 151. The swing arm drive unit 152 is used to drive the first swing arm 151 to swing back and forth between the working position and the resting position. The first swing arm 151 is used to support the currently transported raw material 24 to swing to the second working position.
[0034] Initially, the suction cup assembly 14 is adsorbed and connected to the currently transported material 24, and the first swing arm 151 is located at the work station. When the currently transported material 24 is located at the first work station 26, the first swing arm 151 abuts against the side of the currently transported material 24, and the suction cup assembly 14 separates from the currently transported material 24.
[0035] If the currently transported material 24 is located at the second station, the first swing arm 151 separates from the currently transported material 24 to return to the idle station, and the currently transported material 24 is placed onto the plate chain conveyor belt 22. Driven by the swing arm drive unit 152, the first swing arm 151 swings from the idle station to the working station, so that the first swing arm 151 abuts against the side of the currently transported material 24, the suction cup assembly 14 moves away, and the swing arm 12 continues to swing to place the currently transported material 24. During the placement process, the first swing arm 151 can play a supporting role. After the first swing arm 151 swings to the second station, it swings from the working station to the idle station under the drive of the swing arm drive unit 152, and the currently transported material 24 falls onto the plate chain conveyor belt 22. The whole process is fully automated, with higher efficiency, lower cost, and better quality of the material 24.
[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 The upper end of the swing arm 12 is provided with a mounting base 121. The swing arm drive unit 152 includes a swing arm cylinder 1521, a first connecting shaft, and a first connecting rod 1522. The swing arm cylinder 1521 is disposed on one side of the mounting base 121, and the output shaft of the swing arm cylinder 1521 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 1522. The other end of the first connecting rod 1522 is fixedly connected to the first swing arm 151. One end of the first connecting shaft is fixed to the mounting base 121, and the other end of the first connecting shaft is connected to the first connecting rod 1522 through a bearing. The structure is simple, the cost is low, the positioning is optimized, and the operating efficiency is higher.
[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 4 A connector 1523 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the rocker arm cylinder 1521, and the other end of the connector 1523 is fitted onto the first connecting rod 1522. When the output shaft of the rocker arm cylinder 1521 extends, it pushes the first connecting rod 1522 to rotate clockwise around the first connecting shaft. The other end of the first connecting rod 1522 drives the first rocker arm 151 to rotate from the working position to the idle position. When the output shaft of the rocker arm cylinder 1521 retracts, the connector 1523 pulls the first connecting rod 1522 to rotate counterclockwise around the first connecting shaft. The other end of the first connecting rod 1522 drives the first rocker arm 151 to rotate from the idle position to the working position.
[0038] Preferably, the first swing arm assembly 15 further includes a magnetic switch, which is mounted on the mounting base 121. The magnetic switch is used to detect whether the first swing arm 151 is in contact with the currently transported material 24, thereby improving safety performance. When the first swing arm 151 swings to the working position, the side of the first swing arm 151 is in contact with the currently transported material 24, the magnetic switch light illuminates, and the operation is normal. If the currently transported material 24 is at the first working position 26, and the magnetic switch has not detected the first swing arm 151 after a set time, an alarm is triggered, the suction cup assembly 14 continues to attract the currently transported material 24, and the swing arm 12 stops swinging. This magnetic switch is not shown in the figure.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 The suction cup assembly 14 includes a suction cup drive unit 141, a universal base 142, and a suction cup 143. The suction cup drive unit 141 is located on the other side of the mounting base 121, and the universal base 142 is fixedly connected to the end of the suction cup drive unit 141. The body of the suction cup 143 is movably connected to the universal base 142. Since the materials 24 are placed at various angles, the universal base 142 allows the suction cup 143 to rotate 360° to adjust its adsorption surface, making the suction cup 143 fit more tightly and firmly against the side of the material 24 being transported. The suction cup drive unit 141 is used to drive the suction cup 143 closer to or further away from the material 24 being transported, improving compatibility and ensuring that the suction cup 143 completely and firmly adsorbs the material 24 being transported.
[0040] The suction cup 143 is provided with an air inlet connector 1431, which is connected to an external air supply device to facilitate the suction cup 143 to adsorb or release the material 24 being transported.
[0041] Preferably, the suction cup drive unit 141 includes a suction cup drive cylinder 1411, a second connecting shaft, a second connecting rod 1413, and a fixing plate 1414. The suction cup drive cylinder 1411 is fixed to the other side of the mounting base 121, improving space utilization and making the structure more compact. The output shaft of the suction cup drive cylinder 1411 is fixedly connected to a fixing joint 1412. The other end of the fixing joint 1412 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 1413, and the other end of the second connecting rod 1413 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate 1414. One end of the second connecting shaft is fixed to the mounting base 121, and the other end of the second connecting shaft is connected to the second connecting rod 1413 through a bearing. The other end of the fixing plate 1414 is connected to a universal joint 142, which ensures stable transmission and makes installation and disassembly more convenient.
[0042] The suction cup assembly 14 also includes a spring 144, which is mounted on the universal seat 142 and located between the other end of the fixing plate 1414 and the suction cup 143, providing a buffer space to protect the suction cup 143 and the raw material 24, making the suction cup 143 adhere more firmly.
[0043] Preferably, the suction cup assembly 14 further includes a photoelectric switch 145, which is used to detect whether the suction cup 143 has adhered and fixed the currently transported material 24, thereby improving safety and transport efficiency. Specifically, when the light on the photoelectric switch 145 is on, it indicates that the suction cup 143 is firmly adhered to the currently transported material 24, and the drive assembly 13 can drive the swing arm 12 to rotate. If, after multiple compensation adjustments, the light on the photoelectric switch 145 is still off, an alarm is triggered, and the transport of the material 24 is stopped.
[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The upper end of the swing arm 12 is provided with a guide rail 124 along its length. The suction cup assembly 14 also includes an adjusting cylinder 146 and a slide 147. The mounting base 121 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide 147 via a connecting block 122, and the other side of the slide 147 is slidably connected to the guide rail 124. The body of the adjusting cylinder 146 is fixed to the swing arm 12, and the output shaft of the adjusting cylinder 146 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 122. When the suction cup 143 adsorbs the raw material 24, the air pipe of the suction cup 143 draws in air, while the air supply pipe of the adjusting cylinder 146 stops supplying air. Under the self-weight of the slide 147, the suction cup assembly 14 slides along the guide rail 124, which allows the suction cup 143 to adaptively adjust its center of gravity position during the flipping process of the raw material 24, improving compatibility, protecting the raw material 24, and increasing efficiency. When the suction cup 143 releases the raw material 24, the air supply of the suction cup 143 stops, the air supply of the regulating cylinder 146 starts to supply air, and the regulating cylinder 146 pushes the mounting base 121 and the suction cup assembly 14 on it back to the initial position.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The paddle-type loading machine 1 also includes a second swing arm assembly 16, which is disposed at the lower end of the swing arm 12. The second swing arm assembly 16 abuts against the other side of the last piece of raw material 24, so that the last piece of raw material 24 is clamped and fixed between the suction cup assembly 14 and the second swing arm assembly 16 or between the first swing arm assembly 15 and the second swing arm assembly 16 to fix the last piece of raw material 24. This can prevent the last piece of raw material 24 from slipping, improve the handling efficiency, and protect the raw material 24.
[0046] Specifically, the structure of the second swing arm assembly 16 is the same as that of the first swing arm assembly 15, but the rotation direction of the second swing arm 161 of the second swing arm assembly 16 is opposite. When the suction cup 143 picks up the last piece of raw material 24 and rotates it to a vertical position, the second swing arm 161 swings to the lower end of the other side of the raw material 24 and abuts against the lower end of the raw material 24, which can prevent the raw material 24 from sliding during the swing and improve the handling efficiency.
[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The drive assembly 13 includes a servo motor, a flange, and a reducer. The flange is mounted on the base 11, and the servo motor and reducer are fixed to the flange. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the lower end of the swing arm 12 via the reducer. The swing angle of the swing arm 12 can be preset in the control system, and the rotation amplitude of the swing arm 12 can be controlled by the rotation of the servo motor, thereby achieving precise coordination of the components, resulting in higher automation efficiency and lower cost. The servo motor and reducer are not shown in the figure.
[0048] In the second embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 In addition to the structure mentioned in the first embodiment, the paddle-type loading machine 1 also includes a transmission rod assembly 17. The transmission rod assembly 17 includes a support arm 171 and a transmission rod unit 172. One end of the support arm 171 is connected to the base 11 via a bearing, and the swing center of the support arm 171 is coaxially arranged with the swing center of the swing arm 12. A first swing rod assembly 15 is provided at the other end of the support arm 171. One end of the transmission rod unit 172 is hinged to the lower end of the swing arm 12, and the other end of the transmission rod unit 172 is hinged to the support arm 171. The transmission rod unit 172 is used to cause the swing arm 12 to move the support arm 171 closer to or further away from each other. The support arm 171 and the swing arm 12 relay the material, which can reduce the swing stroke of the swing arm 12 and improve the product handling efficiency. The first swing rod assembly 15 is mounted on the end of the support arm 171 via a mounting base 121.
[0049] Preferably, the transmission rod unit 172 includes a first transmission rod 1721, a second transmission rod 1722, and a third transmission rod 1723. One end of the first transmission rod 1721 is hinged to the lower end of the swing arm 12, and the other end of the first transmission rod 1721 is hinged to one end of the second transmission rod 1722. The other end of the second transmission rod 1722 is hinged to one end of the third transmission rod 1723. The second transmission rod 1722 is slidably connected to the base 11, allowing it to reciprocate horizontally. This improves the accuracy of the reciprocating motion of the first transmission rod 1721 and the third transmission rod 1723, enabling precise control of the running path of the support arm 171 and improving the accuracy and efficiency of material handling. The other end of the third transmission rod 1723 is hinged to the support arm 171. The first transmission rod 1721, second transmission rod 1722, and third transmission rod 1723 are all located on the lower side of the support arm 171, avoiding interference during operation, resulting in a compact structure and higher space utilization.
[0050] Specifically, the lower end of the support arm 171 is connected to the output shaft of the reducer via a bearing. The lower end of the swing arm 12 has multiple fixing holes 125 along its circumference, facilitating adjustment of the position of the first transmission rod 1721 mounted on the swing arm 12 according to different actual conditions, to accommodate the swing amplitude of the support arm 171 driven by the transmission rod assembly 17. Simultaneously, the second transmission rod 1722 slides on the slide rail 1725 via a slider 1724, and the slide rail 1725 is fixed to the base 11.
[0051] The support arm 171 includes a first support 1711 and a second support 1712. Both the first support 1711 and the second support 1712 have multiple mounting holes 1713 spaced apart along their length. The length of the entire support arm 171 can be adjusted by selecting different mounting holes 1713 to accommodate raw materials 24 of different sizes. Furthermore, a lug 1714 protrudes from the side of the first support 1711, and the other end of the third transmission rod 1723 is hinged to the lug 1714.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The loading system 2 includes any of the aforementioned paddle-type loading machines 1, and further includes a feeding conveyor belt 21, a plate chain conveyor belt 22, and a loading detection component 25. A trolley 23 is placed on the feeding conveyor belt 21, with the plate chain conveyor belt 22 and the feeding conveyor belt 21 spaced apart. The paddle-type loading machine 1 is positioned between the plate chain conveyor belt 22 and the feeding conveyor belt 21. The loading detection component 25 is located on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 21 and is used to detect whether the axis of the swing arm 12 and the swing axis of the currently transported raw material 24 are on the same straight line.
[0053] The loading detection component 25 includes a photoelectric sensor 251 and a bracket 252. The bracket 252 is positioned between the swing arm 12 and the currently transported material 24, and is coaxially aligned. The photoelectric sensor 251 is mounted on the bracket 252. When the feeding conveyor belt 21 moves the trolley 23 forward one station, the currently transported material 24 is located at the loading station. At this time, the axis of rotation of the lower end of the currently transported material 24 is aligned with the axis of rotation of the swing arm 12. The photoelectric sensor 251 detects that there is material 24 at the loading station, the feeding conveyor belt 21 stops conveying, and the drive component 13 starts to drive the swing arm 12 to rotate, so that the suction cups 143 of the suction cup component 14 adhere to the side of the currently transported material 24 for adsorption. The swing arm 12 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the suction cup component 14 and the currently transported material 24 to rotate to the first station 26.
[0054] In the first embodiment, the first swing arm 151 swings to the working position, allowing the currently transported raw material 24 to rotate and be lowered above the plate chain conveyor belt 22. The suction cup 143 reverses and is pulled out to provide space for the lowering of the currently transported raw material 24. Moreover, when the first swing arm 151 moves out in the reverse direction, the currently transported raw material 24 loses its supporting force and falls onto the plate chain conveyor belt 22. The plate chain conveyor belt 22 starts, driving the raw material 24 on it to the corresponding position. The detection photoelectric sensor 251 detects that there is no raw material 24 on the loading station, the light of the detection photoelectric sensor 251 illuminates, the feeding conveyor belt 21 transports the trolley 23 forward one station, so that the next piece of raw material 24 to be transported is located on the loading station, the light of the detection photoelectric sensor 251 goes out, and it waits for the next round of transport operations.
[0055] In the second embodiment, when the suction cup assembly 14 and the currently transported material 24 rotate to the first station 26, the support arm 171 swings in the opposite direction to the first station 26 under the transmission action of the transmission rod assembly 17, the first swing rod 151 swings to the working position, and the suction cup 143 reverses and is pulled out to provide space for the current transported material 24 to be lowered. The swing arm 12 reverses and returns to the loading position to perform the next round of loading operation. Under the transmission action of the transmission rod assembly 17, the support arm 171 drives the first swing rod assembly 15 on it and the current transported material 24 to continue to descend. When the swing arm 12 returns to the loading position, the support arm 171 and the first swing rod assembly 15 move to the second station, the first swing rod 151 reverses and disengages from the current transported material 24, so that the current transported material 24 falls onto the plate chain conveyor belt 22 under its own weight, completing one round of material 24 transport operation.
