The unloading station 20 is equipped with an unloading conveyor track, and the unloading station 20 transports the materials to the next station through the unloading conveyor track.

[0051] The unmanned vehicle 30 is equipped with a storage space 31, and the unmanned vehicle 30 can travel between the loading station 10 and the unloading station 20; specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, the unmanned vehicle 30 is equipped with a side door 32 corresponding to the storage space 31. There are two side doors 32 arranged on the left and right, i.e., a double door configuration, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials. The unmanned vehicle 30 uses existing mature technology, including obstacle avoidance structures such as cameras and radar, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The loading assembly 40 includes a first six-axis robot 41 and a first drive device 42 for driving the first six-axis robot 41 to move horizontally. The first six-axis robot 41 is used to transfer materials from the loading station 10 to the storage space 31. The unloading assembly 50 includes a second six-axis robot 51 and a second drive device 52 for driving the second six-axis robot 51 to move horizontally. The second six-axis robot 51 is used to transfer materials from the storage space 31 to the unloading station 20. The first six-axis robot 41 and the second six-axis robot 51 are existing mature technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] See Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the first driving device 42 and the second driving device 52 both include a horizontal slide rail 61, a sliding seat 62 slidably connected to the horizontal slide rail 61, and a driving motor 63 that drives the sliding seat 62 to slide on the horizontal slide rail 61. The first six-axis robot 41 and the second six-axis robot 51 are both mounted on the corresponding sliding seat 62.

[0054] See Figure 3 As shown, the sliding seat 62 is also provided with a motor mounting position 621, and the drive motor 63 is provided on the motor mounting position 621. The drive motor 63 is connected to a drive gear 631. Correspondingly, the horizontal slide rail 61 is provided with a rack 611 that meshes with the drive gear 631. The drive motor 63 drives the sliding seat 62 to slide on the horizontal slide rail 61 through the cooperation of the drive gear 631 and the rack 611.

[0055] Both the first six-axis robot 41 and the second six-axis robot 51 are equipped with a material handling fixture 70. The material handling fixture 70 includes a horizontal plate 71, a first vertical plate 72 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 71, and a second vertical plate 73 movably disposed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 71. A bottom support member 721 is disposed at the bottom of the first vertical plate 72. A third driving device 722 connected to the second vertical plate 73 is disposed on the first vertical plate 72. The third driving device 722 drives the second vertical plate 73 to move back and forth. A suction cup 731 for picking up materials is disposed on the second vertical plate 73. A fourth driving device 74 and a top clamping member 741 connected to the fourth driving device 74 are also disposed on the horizontal plate 71. A front limiting member 75 is disposed at the front end of the top clamping member 741. The bottom support member 721, the second vertical plate 73, the top clamping member 741, and the front limiting member 75 together constitute a clamping space.

[0056] When picking up materials, the bottom support 721 first supports the material, then the suction cup 731 picks up the material and abuts against the second vertical plate 73, and finally the top clamping member 741 clamps the material, and the suction cup 731 releases the suction of the material, so that the material is clamped in the clamping space. When discharging materials, the top clamping member 741 is first removed from the material, and then the second vertical plate 73 is driven to push the material out.

[0057] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom support 721 includes three single forks 723 arranged at intervals, the suction cup 731 is provided with four arranged at intervals and is located at the bottom of the second vertical plate 73; the top of the horizontal plate 71 is provided with a connecting seat 76 for connecting a six-axis robot.

The guide rod 711 ensures the accurate displacement of the second vertical plate 73. The front limiting member 75 includes a guide section 751 and a vertical section 752 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The guide section 751 allows the vertical section 752 to better block the front end of the material, preventing the vertical section 752 from directly inserting into the material and damaging it.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the third drive device 722 and the fourth drive device 74 are cylinders.

[0060] The key design feature of this utility model is:
