The invention discloses a carrying device. The carrying device comprises a
machine table, a plurality of positioning units and clamping units. The
machine table is used for bearing workpieces. The positioning units comprise positioning execution parts and telescopic mechanisms; the positioning execution parts are connected with the
machine table; the telescopic mechanisms can be switched between the
free state that extending and retracting can be conducted freely and the self-locking state that extending and retracting are limited under the effect of an
electric field of an
electromagnetic field; the telescopic mechanisms and the positioning execution parts are rotatably connected so as to lock the positioning execution parts inthe self-locking state; and the clamping units are suitable for clamping the workpieces. Thus, the workpieces are supported and positioned through the carrying device, the positioning units generates certain displacement along with placing of the workpieces so as to guarantee that the workpieces and the positioning units are always kept to be attached, and then the workpieces are clamped with the assistance of the clamping units. In the workpiece carrying process, the workpieces arerapidly and precisely positioned by the positioning units and the clamping units, so that shaking and damage of the workpieces in the transfer process are effectively avoided.After the workpieces reach the next
station, the positioning units can be controlled to be rapidly unlocked, and convenience and rapidness are achieved.
