The connecting block 2209 is mounted on the lifting plate 2203.

[0020] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning plate 301 and a four-jaw chuck 302 that drives the positioning plate 301 to move. Multiple four-jaw chucks 302 are provided and are evenly spaced on a chuck mounting plate 303. The chuck mounting plate 303 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1. Multiple sensor brackets 305 are mounted on one side of the chuck mounting plate 303, and photoelectric sensors 306 are mounted on the sensor brackets 305. A photoelectric sensor 306 is mounted on the other side of the chuck mounting plate 303. Multiple sensor brackets 307 are provided, and photoelectric sensors 308 are mounted on the sensor brackets 307. The photoelectric sensors 308 are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 2202, the four-jaw chuck 302, the cylinder 405, the linear module 406, and the vacuum pump. Each jaw of the four-jaw chuck 302 is equipped with a positioning plate 301. The positioning plate 301 has an L-shaped structure and has several through holes 304 that correspond one-to-one with the photoelectric sensors 306.

[0021] The feeding mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes multiple adsorption components, which are arranged side by side on the lifting plate 401. Multiple guide rods 402 are installed on the lifting plate 401, and guide sleeves 403 are sleeved on the guide rods 402. The guide sleeves 403 are installed on the moving plate 404. The lifting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 405. The cylinder 405 is installed at one end of the moving plate 404, and the other end of the moving plate 404 is installed on the slide of the linear module 406. Multiple sensor brackets 407 are also installed on the lifting plate 401. Photoelectric sensors 408 are installed on the sensor brackets 407, and the photoelectric sensors 408 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0022] The adsorption assembly in this embodiment includes two vacuum suction cups 409. The vacuum suction cups 409 are connected to a vacuum pump through an air pipe, and the vacuum suction cups 409 are mounted on the lifting plate 401 through a suction cup mounting bracket.

[0023] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Multiple aerogel sheets are placed within a rectangular area. Four L-shaped plates 2101 limit the movement of the aerogel sheets, causing them to stack on a U-shaped base plate 2102. A motor 2202 drives a drive pulley 2207 to rotate, which in turn drives a belt 2208 to move upwards. The connecting block 2209, lifting plate 2203, and lifting plate 2201 also move upwards, allowing the lifting plate 2201 to pass through the U-shaped base plate 2102 and lift the aerogel sheets on it, thus causing the stacked aerogel sheets to rise upwards. When photoelectric sensor 308 detects the aerogel plate, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the linear module 406 to move the lifting plate 401 and multiple adsorption components mounted on it directly above the storage racks 21. The cylinder 405 pushes the lifting plate 401 and the adsorption components downwards, causing the vacuum suction cup 409 to contact the aerogel plate. At this point, photoelectric sensor 308 detects the aerogel plate and sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the vacuum pump to... A vacuum process is performed, causing the vacuum suction cup 409 to adsorb the aerogel plate. After the aerogel plate is adsorbed, the cylinder 405 moves the lifting plate 401 and multiple adsorption components upward to reset them. The linear module 406 moves the lifting plate 401 and multiple adsorption components mounted on it to directly above the multiple positioning mechanisms 3. The cylinder 405 then pushes the lifting plate 401 and multiple adsorption components downward, causing the aerogel plate to move onto the four positioning plates 301. The vacuum pump stops working, and the vacuum suction cup 409 releases the aerogel plate, placing it on the four positioning plates 301. At this time, photoelectric sensor 306 senses the aerogel plate and sends the sensed signal to the controller. The controller controls the four-jaw chuck 302 to move the four positioning plates 301. The aerogel plate moves in the center under the action of the four positioning plates 301, thereby enabling secondary positioning of the aerogel plate. After positioning, the vacuum suction cup 409 is driven by cylinder 405 and linear module 406 to transfer and load the aerogel plate, thereby realizing precise loading of the aerogel plate by the loading mechanism 4, reducing the error in the loading process and improving the accuracy of subsequent processing of the aerogel plate.
