In practical applications, the transferring mechanism further includes a mounting block 25, the mounting block 25 is disposed on the mounting plate 24, and the suction cup assembly 30 is disposed on the mounting block 25 in a manner of reciprocating along the first direction.

In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism includes at least two sets of chuck assemblies 30, and each chuck assembly 30 can sequentially pass through the loading station 101 and the unloading station 102 during rotation of the rotating member 21. The materials 200 in the feeding station 101 are alternately transferred to the blanking station 102 through at least two groups of sucker assemblies 30, so that the transfer efficiency is effectively improved.

In some embodiments, when a chuck assembly 30 is rotated to the feeding station 101, the corresponding other chuck assembly 30 is located at the blanking station 102.

It should be noted that, the feeding and the discharging both need the motion of the sucker assembly 30, and there are two sets of sucker assemblies 30 respectively located at the feeding station 101 and the discharging station 102, so that the feeding motion and the discharging motion are performed simultaneously, the time for feeding and discharging is saved, and the transfer efficiency is further improved.

In some embodiments, the transferring mechanism further includes a buffer station 103 and an idle station 104, and each of the chuck assemblies 30 can sequentially pass through the loading station 101, the buffer station 103, the unloading station 102 and the idle station 104 during the rotation of the rotating member 21.
