In this embodiment, when the gripping module 220 grips the substrate 300, the first gripping link 224 and the second gripping link 225 are in a gripping position close to each other. At this time, in the width direction of the substrate 300, the pitch between the gripping pillars 226 on the first gripping link 224 and the gripping pillars 226 on the second gripping link 225 is a; the spacing between the groove bottom of the annular groove on the first grabbing connecting piece 224 and the groove bottom of the annular groove on the second grabbing connecting piece 225 is c; the width dimension of the substrate 300 is b; there are: a is less than b and less than c, and c-b is more than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 0.5 mm.

Specifically, the control module is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller ). The arrangement of the first sensing unit 101 and the second sensing unit 111 can timely feed back the in-place condition of the substrate 300 to the transplanting module 200.

When the substrate 300 is at the loading position, the corresponding sensing unit is triggered, the sensing unit sends a signal to the control module, the control module receiving the signal controls the linear module 210 to drive the grabbing component 220 to the corresponding loading table, the second driving unit 222 drives the first driving unit 223 to fall to be close to the corresponding loading position, all the grabbing posts 226 are in place, and then the first driving unit 223 drives the first grabbing connecting piece 224 and the second grabbing connecting piece 225 to move in opposite directions, so that the grabbing action of the substrate 300 is performed at the loading position.

After the grabbing action is completed, the receiving of the signals sent by the first sensing unit 101 and the second sensing unit 111 is stopped, the second driving unit 222 drives the first driving unit 223 to ascend so as to be far away from the corresponding feeding position, then the transplanting module 200 controls the linear module 210 again, the grabbing component 220 moves to the placing table 120, the second driving unit 222 drives the first driving unit 223 to descend again, all the grabbing posts 226 are in place, then the first driving unit 223 drives the first grabbing connecting piece 224 and the second grabbing connecting piece 225 to move back to back, and the releasing action of the substrate 300 is performed at the discharging position. Finally, the second driving unit 222 drives the first driving unit 223 to rise, and the linear module 210 drives the grabbing component 220 to reset.

Illustratively, the placing table 120 is provided with a third sensing unit 121, and the third sensing unit 121 is used for detecting whether the substrate 300 is located at the blanking position.

When the substrate 300 is at the blanking position, the third sensing unit 121 is triggered, the third sensing unit 121 sends a signal to the control module, and the control module receiving the signal sends a signal to the external device, so that the external device performs the next process on the substrate 300 at the blanking position.

When the substrate 300 subjected to the next process leaves the blanking position, the third sensing unit 121 triggers and transmits a signal to the control module, and the control module receives the signal and resumes receiving the signals transmitted by the first sensing unit 101 and the second sensing unit 111.

Specifically, the first, second, and third sensing units 101, 111, and 121 are optical sensors.

The design ensures that the carrying operation of the substrate 300 can be sequentially and orderly automatically completed, effectively avoids the condition that the control module is interfered by other signals in the carrying process, reduces hidden danger of suspension of the carrying process due to accidents, and ensures the smooth operation of the transplanting mechanism.

The engineering plastic has the characteristics of light weight, good strength, good insulating property, excellent chemical stability and excellent wear resistance. The structural requirement of the clamping post 226 can be effectively met, and the clamping operation of the clamping post 226 on the substrate 300 can be successfully completed.
