Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production line technology, specifically to a handling device and packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional production lines, materials (such as flat panel displays) need to be packaged before leaving the factory. Since flat panel displays are usually rectangular, they need to be transported along their long side. Existing conveyor lines are straight lines, and the direction of the conveyor line is consistent with the direction of the long side of the flat panel display. The handling device is set up on the conveyor line along the direction of the conveyor line. Although it can ensure that the flat panel display is transported along the long side, the handling device occupies a large space on the conveyor line along the direction of the conveyor line. Moreover, the handling device can only realize the single-direction transportation of the flat panel display and cannot meet multiple handling needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a conveying device is provided, the technical solution of which is as follows.

[0004] The conveying device includes a lifting assembly, a rotating assembly, a translating assembly, and a receiving plate for carrying the carried component. The receiving plate, the lifting assembly, and the rotating assembly are connected to each other. The receiving plate, the lifting assembly, and the rotating assembly are connected to the translating assembly. The lifting assembly, the rotating assembly, and the receiving plate are movable along a first direction between a first position, a second position, and a third position under the drive of the translating assembly. In the first position, the receiving plate lifts and lowers along a second direction via the lifting assembly to carry and lift the carried component. In the second position, the receiving plate rotates via the rotating assembly to change the orientation of the carried component. In the third position, the receiving plate lifts and lowers along the second direction via the lifting assembly to place and detach the carried component. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0005] In the first position, the receiving plate lifts and lowers along the second direction via a lifting assembly to carry and lift the carried item (i.e., material); in the second position, the receiving plate rotates via a rotating assembly to change the direction of the carried item; and in the third position, the receiving plate lifts and lowers along the second direction via a lifting assembly to place and detach the carried item. This enables the carrying and reversing of the carried item, meeting various handling needs. Furthermore, when the handling device is installed on the conveyor line, it can be set at an angle to the main conveyor section, reducing the space occupied by the handling device in the extension direction of the main conveyor section.

[0006] For example, the lifting assembly includes a first driving member and a lifting section. The lifting section is connected to the first driving member and a receiving plate, respectively. The lifting section is driven by the first driving member to move the receiving plate up and down along a second direction between a rising position, an intermediate position, and a falling position. In the intermediate position, the receiving plate carries or places the carried item; in the rising position, the receiving plate lifts the carried item; and in the falling position, the receiving plate detaches from the carried item. This configuration ensures that in the intermediate position, the receiving plate carries or places the carried item, guaranteeing stable support; in the rising position, the receiving plate lifts the carried item, facilitating unobstructed horizontal movement and preventing collisions with surrounding devices during transport; and in the falling position, the receiving plate detaches from the carried item, ensuring complete separation and allowing the carried item to continue subsequent operations via other devices. Thus, the lifting assembly has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures the efficiency and stability of the transport device.

[0007] For example, the translation assembly includes a second driving member and a translation section. The translation section is connected to both the second and first driving members. The translation section is driven by the second driving member to move the first driving member, the lifting section, the rotating assembly, and the receiving plate along a first direction between a first position, a second position, and a third position. This configuration simplifies the structure of the translation assembly, reduces costs, and allows for movement between the first, second, and third positions, enabling the transport and reversal of the carried component and meeting various handling requirements.

[0008] For example, the rotating assembly includes a third driving member and a rotating part. The rotating part is connected to the third driving member and the receiving plate, respectively. The rotating assembly has a first state and a second state. When the rotating assembly is in the first state, the rotating part is driven by the third driving member to rotate the receiving plate from a first rotating position to a second rotating position. When the rotating assembly is in the second state, the rotating part is driven by the third driving member to rotate the receiving plate from the second rotating position to the first rotating position. With this configuration, the rotating assembly has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures that the carried item can be reversed when the conveying device is installed on the conveyor line. This allows the conveying device to be set at an angle to the main conveying section, reducing the space occupied by the conveying device in the extension direction of the main conveying section.

[0009] For example, the rotation angle between the first and second rotation positions is 90°. With this configuration, when the conveying device is installed on the conveyor line, it can be positioned perpendicular to the main conveying section, effectively reducing the space occupied by the conveying device in the extension direction of the main conveying section, and facilitating docking of the conveying device with other devices, effectively avoiding interference with other devices.

[0010] For example, the receiving plate has a first length along a first direction and a second length along a third direction, the first length being greater than the second length, and the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction. This configuration can effectively distinguish whether the receiving plate has changed direction, avoiding affecting subsequent operations, and can stably support load-bearing components of different specifications and sizes.

[0011] For example, the support plate is constructed as a cross-shaped plate. This configuration not only ensures the stability of the support plate in supporting the load-bearing component, but also reduces the amount of material used in production, saving costs.

[0012] For example, the conveying device also includes a sensor disposed below the receiving plate, and the sensing signal emitted by the sensor passes through the receiving plate. This configuration allows the sensor to detect whether the receiving plate is carrying a component. In the first position, if the sensor detects that the receiving plate is carrying a component, subsequent operations continue; if the sensor detects that the receiving plate is not carrying a component, a prompt can be issued or the device can wait for the component to be loaded. In the third position, if the sensor detects that the receiving plate has detached from the component, subsequent operations can continue; if the sensor detects that the receiving plate has not detached from the component, a prompt can be issued or the lifting and lowering process can continue to completely detach the component. During the handling of the component, if the sensor detects the component, subsequent operations continue; if the sensor does not detect the component, a prompt can be issued. This ensures that the conveying device operates efficiently and stably.

[0013] For example, a through hole is provided in the middle of the receiving plate, through which the sensing signal emitted by the sensing element passes. This arrangement not only ensures that the conveying device can operate efficiently and stably, but also has a compact structure and saves space.

[0014] According to another aspect of this utility model, a packaging device is provided, which includes a conveyor line and a handling device as described above. The conveyor line has a main conveying section, and the handling device is arranged on the conveyor line in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the main conveying section. Thus, the handling device can be arranged perpendicular to the main conveying section, effectively reducing the space occupied by the handling device in the extension direction of the main conveying section. Since the handling device described above has the aforementioned beneficial effects, the packaging device including the handling device described above also has the aforementioned beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0026] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0027] An embodiment of this utility model provides a handling device. The handling device provided by this utility model can be applied to packaging equipment. The following will describe in detail a handling device according to an embodiment of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5 The conveying device 10 may include a lifting assembly 110, a rotating assembly 120, a translating assembly 130, and a receiving plate 140 for carrying the carried component. The carried component may be a flat panel display, such as a television, computer monitor, or tablet computer. Of course, the carried component may also be other materials of different specifications and sizes. The receiving plate 140, lifting assembly 110, and rotating assembly 120 may be connected to each other. The connection method of the receiving plate 140, lifting assembly 110, and rotating assembly 120 can be any suitable method, for example, the receiving plate 140 may be connected to both the lifting assembly 110 and the rotating assembly 120, or the receiving plate 140 may be connected to the rotating assembly 120, and the rotating assembly 120 may be connected to the lifting assembly 110, etc. The receiving plate 140, lifting assembly 110, and rotating assembly 120 may be connected to the translating assembly 130. The connection between the receiving plate 140, lifting assembly 110, and rotating assembly 120 and the translation assembly 130 can be any suitable method. For example, after the receiving plate 140, lifting assembly 110, and rotating assembly 120 are combined, they can be connected to the translation assembly 130 via the lifting assembly 110 or via the rotating assembly 120. It should be noted that the connection can be direct or indirect. The lifting assembly 110, rotating assembly 120, and receiving plate 140, driven by the translation assembly 130, move along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving plate 140 can move between three positions (in the XX direction) in the first, second, and third positions. In the first position, the receiving plate 140 can move along the second direction (e.g., in the XX direction) via the lifting assembly 110. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The receiving plate 140 is raised and lowered (in the ZZ direction) to carry and lift the carried component. In the second position, the receiving plate 140 can be rotated by the rotating assembly 120 to change the orientation of the carried component. In the third position, the receiving plate 140 can be raised and lowered along the second direction by the lifting assembly 110 to place and detach the carried component. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. When the conveying device 10 is installed on the conveyor line, the first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the main conveying section of the conveyor line. The second direction can be located in the vertical direction.

[0029] The conveying device 10 of this utility model, in the first position, the receiving plate 140 is raised and lowered along the second direction by the lifting assembly 110 to carry and lift the carried item (i.e., material); in the second position, the receiving plate 140 is rotated by the rotating assembly 120 to change the direction of the carried item; in the third position, the receiving plate 140 is raised and lowered along the second direction by the lifting assembly 110 to place and detach the carried item; in this way, the carried item can be moved and changed direction, meeting a variety of handling needs, and when the conveying device 10 is set on the conveyor line, it can be set at an angle with the main conveying section, reducing the space occupied by the conveying device 10 in the extension direction of the main conveying section.

[0030] The following describes the connection method where the receiving plate 140 can be connected to the lifting assembly 110 and the rotating assembly 120 respectively, and the lifting assembly 110 can be connected to the translation assembly 130:

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4 The lifting assembly 110 may include a first driving member 111 and a lifting part 112. The first driving member 111 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The lifting part 112 may be connected to the first driving member 111 and the receiving plate 140, respectively. The lifting part 112 is driven by the first driving member 111 to move the receiving plate 140 up and down along a second direction between a rising position, an intermediate position, and a falling position. In the intermediate position, the receiving plate 140 may support or place the supported component. In the rising position, the receiving plate 140 may lift the supported component. In the falling position, the receiving plate 140 may detach from the supported component. Thus, in the intermediate position, the receiving plate 140 carries or places the carried component to ensure that the receiving plate 140 stably supports the carried component; in the rising position, the receiving plate 140 lifts the carried component, thereby facilitating unobstructed horizontal movement of the carried component and preventing it from colliding with surrounding devices during transportation; in the descending position, the receiving plate 140 detaches from the carried component to ensure that the receiving plate 140 is completely separated from the carried component, allowing the carried component to continue to be operated by other devices. In this way, the lifting assembly 110 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures the efficiency and stability of the handling device 10.

[0032] See again Figures 1 to 4The translation assembly 130 may include a second drive member 131 and a translation section (not shown in the figure). The second drive member 131 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The translation section may be connected to the second drive member 131 and the first drive member 111, respectively. The translation section is driven by the second drive member 131 to move the first drive member 111, the lifting section 112, the rotating assembly 120, and the receiving plate 140 along a first direction between a first position, a second position, and a third position. Thus, the translation assembly 130 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and is movable between the first, second, and third positions, enabling the handling and reversing of the carried item, thus meeting various handling needs.

[0033] See again Figures 1 to 4 The rotating assembly 120 may include a third driving member 121 and a rotating part 122. The third driving member 121 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The rotating part 122 may be connected to the third driving member 121 and the receiving plate 140, respectively. The rotating assembly 120 may have a first state and a second state. When the rotating assembly 120 is in the first state, the rotating part 122 can be driven by the third driving member 121 to rotate the receiving plate 140 from the first rotating position to the second rotating position. When the rotating assembly 120 is in the second state, the rotating part 122 can be driven by the third driving member 121 to rotate the receiving plate 140 from the second rotating position to the first rotating position. In this way, the rotating assembly 120 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures that the carried part can be reversed when the conveying device 10 is installed on the conveyor line. Thus, the conveying device 10 can be set at an angle to the main conveying section, reducing the space occupied by the conveying device 10 in the extension direction of the main conveying section.

[0034] Specifically, in conjunction with reference Figures 1 to 4A connecting portion 150 may be connected to the side of the receiving plate 140 away from the supported component. The connecting portion 150 may be connected to the lifting part 112 via a first guide assembly 160. The first guide assembly 160 may include a first plate 161, a second plate 162, and a guide post 163. The lifting part 112 may be a lifting rod, which is connected to the first plate 161. The first plate 161 may be connected to one end of the guide post 163. The second plate 162 is fixedly disposed and sleeved on the guide post 163, and the guide post 163 is movable relative to the second plate 162 along with the first plate 161. The connecting portion 150 may be movably connected to the lifting part 112 or the first plate 161, thereby ensuring that the connecting portion 150 can stably rise and fall with the lifting part 112 or the first plate 161 and can rotate relative to the lifting part 112 or the first plate 161. The first guide assembly 160 may also include a guide member 164, and the second plate 162 may be fixedly connected to the guide member 164. The other end of the guide post 163 can be connected to a guide mating part 1631, which is slidably connected to the guide part 164 to ensure the stability of the movement of the first plate 161 and the guide post 163. The rotating part 122 can be a rotating shaft, and the third driving part 121 is connected to the connecting part 150 through the rotating shaft, thereby driving the receiving plate 140 to rotate between the first rotating position and the second rotating position. The first driving part 111 can be connected to the translation part through the second guide assembly 170. The second guide assembly 170 can include a slider 171 and a guide rail 172, and the slider 171 can be slidably connected to the guide rail 172. The second driving part 131 can be set at one end of the guide rail 172, and the translation part can be a push rod, which can be connected to the slider 171. The first driving part 111 can be set on the slider 171. In this way, the transport and reversal of the carried part can be realized, meeting various transport needs. Moreover, the structure is compact, saving space, and the structure is simple, reducing costs. Of course, the lifting component 110, the rotating component 120, the translation component 130, the first guide component 160 and the second guide component 170 can also be any other suitable structure to be applicable to various scenarios.

[0035] The following describes the connection methods where the receiving plate 140 can be connected to the rotating component 120, the rotating component 120 can be connected to the lifting component 110, and the lifting component 110 can be connected to the translation component 130:

[0036] For example, the rotating assembly 120 may include a third driving member 121 and a rotating part 122. The third driving member 121 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The rotating part 122 may be connected to the third driving member 121 and the receiving plate 140, respectively. The rotating assembly 120 may have a first state and a second state. When the rotating assembly 120 is in the first state, the rotating part 122 can be driven by the third driving member 121 to rotate the receiving plate 140 from the first rotating position to the second rotating position. When the rotating assembly 120 is in the second state, the rotating part 122 can be driven by the third driving member 121 to rotate the receiving plate 140 from the second rotating position to the first rotating position. In this way, the rotating assembly 120 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures that the carried part can be reversed when the conveying device 10 is installed on the conveyor line. Thus, the conveying device 10 can be set at an angle to the main conveying section, reducing the space occupied by the conveying device 10 in the extension direction of the main conveying section.

[0037] For example, the lifting assembly 110 may include a first driving member 111 and a lifting part 112. The first driving member 111 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The lifting part 112 may be connected to the first driving member 111 and the third driving member 121, respectively. The lifting part 112 is driven by the first driving member 111 to drive the rotating assembly 120 to move up and down, thereby driving the receiving plate 140 to move up and down along the second direction between a rising position, an intermediate position, and a falling position. In the intermediate position, the receiving plate 140 may carry or place the carried item. In the rising position, the receiving plate 140 may lift the carried item. In the falling position, the receiving plate 140 may detach from the carried item. Thus, in the intermediate position, the receiving plate 140 carries or places the carried component to ensure that the receiving plate 140 stably supports the carried component; in the rising position, the receiving plate 140 lifts the carried component, thereby facilitating unobstructed horizontal movement of the carried component and preventing it from colliding with surrounding devices during transportation; in the descending position, the receiving plate 140 detaches from the carried component to ensure that the receiving plate 140 is completely separated from the carried component, allowing the carried component to continue to be operated by other devices. In this way, the lifting assembly 110 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and ensures the efficiency and stability of the handling device 10.

[0038] For example, the translation assembly 130 may include a second drive member 131 and a translation section. The second drive member 131 may be a motor or a cylinder, etc. The translation section may be connected to the second drive member 131 and the first drive member 111, respectively. The translation section is driven by the second drive member 131 to move the first drive member 111, the lifting section 112, the rotating assembly 120, and the receiving plate 140 along a first direction between a first position, a second position, and a third position. In this way, the translation assembly 130 has a simple structure, reduces costs, and is movable between the first, second, and third positions, enabling the handling and reversing of the carried item, thus meeting various handling needs.

[0039] Specifically, the rotating part 122 can be a rotating shaft, which can be connected to the receiving plate 140. The third driving member 121 can be connected to the lifting part 112 through the first guide assembly 160. The first guide assembly 160 can include a first sliding part and a first sliding guide part. The first sliding part can be slidably connected to the first sliding guide part. The third driving member 121 is connected to the first sliding part. The first driving member 111 can be connected to one end of the first sliding guide part, and the lifting part 112 can be a lifting rod, which can be connected to the first sliding part. The first sliding guide part can be connected to the translation part through the second guide assembly 170. The second guide assembly 170 can include a second sliding part and a second sliding guide part. The second sliding part can be slidably connected to the second sliding guide part. The second driving member 131 can be disposed at one end of the second sliding guide part, and the translation part can be a push rod, which is connected to the second sliding part. The first sliding guide part can be disposed on the second sliding part. In this way, the transport and reversal of the carried part can be realized, meeting various transport needs. Moreover, the structure is compact, saving space, and the structure is simple, reducing costs. Of course, the lifting component 110, the rotating component 120, the translation component 130, the first guide component 160 and the second guide component 170 can also be any other suitable structure to be applicable to various scenarios.

[0040] For example, the rotation angle between the first and second rotating positions can be 90°. Thus, when the conveying device 10 is installed on the conveyor line, it can be positioned perpendicular to the main conveying section, effectively reducing the space occupied by the conveying device 10 in the extension direction of the main conveying section, and facilitating docking of the conveying device 10 with other devices, effectively avoiding interference with other devices. Of course, if the space perpendicular to the extension direction of the main conveying section is occupied, the angle between the conveying device 10 and the main conveying section can be appropriately reduced, and the rotation angle between the first and second rotating positions can be appropriately reduced accordingly.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The receiving plate 140 may have a first length L1 along the first direction, and along a third direction (such as...) Figure 1 and Figure 5 The third direction (in the YY direction) can have a second length L2, and the first length L1 can be greater than the second length L2. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction. When the conveying device 10 is installed on the conveyor line, the third direction can be the extension direction of the main conveying section of the conveyor line. In this way, it is possible to effectively distinguish whether the receiving plate 140 has changed direction, avoid affecting subsequent operations, and stably support the carried parts of different specifications and sizes.

[0042] For example, the receiving plate 140 can be constructed as a cross-shaped plate. This not only ensures the stability of the support plate 140 for the supported component, but also reduces the amount of material used in production, saving costs. Of course, the receiving plate 140 can be constructed as a plate with other shapes to suit various scenarios.

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The conveying device 10 may also include a sensing element 180, which may be disposed below the receiving plate 140, and the sensing signal emitted by the sensing element 180 may pass through the receiving plate 140. Specifically, the sensing element 180 may be a sensor. Thus, by detecting whether the receiving plate 140 is carrying a load-bearing component through the sensing element 180, in the first position, if the sensing element 180 detects that the receiving plate 140 is carrying a load-bearing component, the subsequent operation continues; if the sensing element 180 detects that the receiving plate 140 is not carrying a load-bearing component, a prompt can be issued or the process can wait for the load-bearing component to be loaded. In the third position, if the sensing element 180 detects that the receiving plate 140 has detached from the load-bearing component, the subsequent operation continues; if the sensing element 180 detects that the receiving plate 140 has not detached from the load-bearing component, a prompt can be issued or the lifting and lowering process can continue to completely detach the load-bearing component. During the handling of the load-bearing component, if the sensing element 180 detects the load-bearing component, the subsequent operation continues; if the sensing element 180 does not detect the load-bearing component, a prompt can be issued. This ensures that the handling device 10 can operate efficiently and stably. Of course, the sensing element 180 can also be set in any suitable position to suit various scenarios.

[0044] See also Figures 3 to 5 A through hole 141 can be provided in the middle of the receiving plate 140, through which the sensing signal emitted by the sensing element 180 can pass. In this way, not only can the conveying device 10 be operated efficiently and stably, but the structure is also compact, saving space. Of course, the through hole 141 can also be set in any suitable position, as long as it can ensure that the sensing signal can pass through, so as to be applicable to a variety of scenarios.

[0045] According to another aspect of the present invention, a packaging device is provided. This packaging device may include a conveyor line and a handling device 10 as described above. The conveyor line may have a main conveying section, and the handling device 10 may be arranged on the conveyor line in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the main conveying section. Thus, the handling device 10 can be arranged perpendicular to the main conveying section, effectively reducing the space occupied by the handling device 10 in the extension direction of the main conveying section. Since the handling device 10 described above has the aforementioned beneficial effects, the packaging device including the handling device 10 also has the aforementioned beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0046] For example, the conveyor line may include a loading position and a pushing position for pushing materials (i.e., the carried items) to the main conveying section. The loading position may correspond to a first position of the conveying device 10, the pushing position may correspond to a third position of the conveying device 10, and a second position may be located between the loading position and the pushing position. The loading position may be provided with a loading platform, and a first through hole for the receiving plate 140 to pass through may be opened in the middle of the loading platform. The size of the first through hole may be smaller than the size of the material to prevent the material from falling out of the first through hole. When the receiving plate 140 is configured as a cross-shaped plate with a first length in a first direction greater than a second length in a third direction, the first through hole may be configured as a cross-shaped through hole with a third length in the first direction greater than a fourth length in a third direction. It should be noted that the third length may be greater than or equal to the first length, and the fourth length may be greater than or equal to the second length, so that the receiving plate 140 can smoothly pass through the first through hole. The feeding position can be equipped with a feeding platform, and a second through hole for the receiving plate 140 to pass through can be opened in the middle of the feeding platform. The size of the second through hole can be smaller than the size of the material to prevent the material from falling through the second through hole. When the receiving plate 140 is configured as a cross-shaped plate with a first length in the first direction greater than a second length in the third direction, since the receiving plate 140 reverses direction in the second position, the second length of the receiving plate 140 is in the first direction and the first length is in the third direction. The second through hole can be configured as a cross-shaped through hole with a fifth length in the first direction less than a sixth length in the third direction. It should be noted that the fifth length can be greater than or equal to the second length, and the sixth length can be greater than or equal to the first length, so that the receiving plate 140 can smoothly pass through the second through hole. In this way, at the feeding position and the feeding position, it is ensured that the lifting component can drive the receiving plate 140 to rise and fall between the rising position, the intermediate position and the falling position along the second direction.

[0047] The following describes in detail the working process of the conveyor device 10 on the conveyor line:

[0048] In the first position, the receiving plate 140 is in a lowered position and located below the loading platform. After material (i.e., the component to be carried) is placed on the loading platform, the receiving plate 140 is driven to rise to the middle position by the lifting assembly 110 and passes through the first through hole to receive the material. The receiving plate 140 is then driven to continue rising to the raised position by the lifting assembly 110 and is located above the loading platform to transport the material. The receiving plate 140 carrying the material moves from the first position to the second position by the translation assembly 130. In the second position, the receiving plate 140 carrying the material rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position by the rotation assembly 120 to achieve a change of direction. Then, the receiving plate 140 carrying the material passes through... The translation component 130 moves from the second position to the third position. At the third position, the receiving plate 140 is lowered to the middle position by the lifting component 110 and passes through the second through hole to place the material. The receiving plate 140 continues to descend to the lowered position by the lifting component 110 and is located below the unloading platform to detach the material. The receiving plate 140 moves from the third position to the second position by the translation component 130. At the second position, the receiving plate 140 rotates from the second rotation position back to the first rotation position by the rotating component 120. Then, the receiving plate 140 moves from the second position to the first position by the translation component 130. Thus, one work cycle is completed, and this work cycle can be repeated. In this way, the material is carried and transported at the first position, reversed at the second position, and placed and detached at the third position. This ensures the transport efficiency, avoids the reversal at the first position affecting the subsequent material loading operation, and avoids the reversal at the third position being obstructed by other devices and causing collisions.

[0049] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", "horizontal", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", and "bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship, which are usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0050] For ease of description, relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface of," and "above" are used here to describe the regional positional relationship of one or more components or features shown in the figures to other components or features. It should be understood that relative terms include not only the orientation of the component as depicted in the figure but also different orientations during use or operation. For example, if the components in the figures are inverted as a whole, "above" or "above other components or features" will include cases where the component is "below" or "under" other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." Furthermore, these components or features may also be positioned at other different angles (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other angles), and this document intends to include all such cases.

[0051] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
