a handling assembly mounted to the handling assembly bracket, the handling assembly being configured to rotate relative to the handling assembly bracket, the handling assembly being configured to transport a material to or from one of the plurality of layered plate components; and

a lift component configured to drive the handling assembly bracket to lift, wherein the lift component comprises:
a lifting transmission mechanism coupled to the handling device, the lifting transmission mechanism being at least partially mounted in the mounting slot; and
a first motor configured to drive the handling device to lift through the lifting transmission mechanism;

wherein the lifting transmission mechanism comprises one of a synchronous belt pulley mechanism, a sprocket wheel mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, a turbine worm mechanism, and a lifting screw mechanism.

2. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the lift component further comprises a braking device configured to stop the lifting transmission mechanism from working so as to stop the handling device from lifting.

3. The handling robot according to claim 2 , wherein the braking device comprises a spanner configured to manually stop the lifting transmission mechanism from working.

4. The handling robot according to claim 2 , wherein the braking device comprises:
a cam; and
a second motor configured to drive the cam to rotate in order to stop the lifting transmission mechanism from working.

5. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the vertical beam is provided with a vertical guideway, the vertical guideway being configured to mount the handling device.

6. The handling robot according to claim 5 , wherein the handling assembly bracket is provided with a sliding member, the sliding member being mounted to the vertical guideway;
wherein the sliding member is movable along the vertical guideway to enable the handling device to lift relative to the storage shelf.

7. The handling robot according to claim 5 , wherein the vertical guideway and the mounting slot form a closed loop.

8. The handling robot according to claim 5 , wherein the vertical beam is provided with a cushion at an end of the vertical guideway.

9. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile chassis comprises a housing, wherein an upper surface of the housing forms a recess, the recess being provided with a bottom surface.

10. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the handling assembly comprises a U-shaped housing.

11. The handling robot according to claim 1 , wherein the handling assembly comprises:
a temporary storage pallet;
a telescopic arm coupled to the temporary storage pallet, the telescopic arm being configured to extend or retract relative to the temporary storage pallet, the telescopic arm comprising a first section arm directly or indirectly coupled to the temporary storage pallet and a second section arm movably connected to the first section arm;
a fixed pusher fixedly mounted to the second section arm, the fixed pusher being configured to push the material from the temporary storage pallet to the one of the plurality of layered plate components when the material is located on the temporary storage pallet; and
a movable pusher mounted to the second section arm, the movable pusher being configured to fold or unfold relative to the second section arm, the movable pusher being configured to pull the material to the temporary storage pallet when the movable pusher is in a state where the movable pusher is unfolded relative to the second section arm.

12. The handling robot according to claim 11 , wherein the telescopic arm is extendable in a single direction relative to the temporary storage pallet.

13. The handling robot according to claim 11 , wherein the handling assembly further comprises a U-shaped housing configured to house at least a part of the telescopic arm.

14. The handling robot according to claim 13 , wherein the U-shaped housing is configured to house at least a part of the first section arm.

15. A handling robot, comprising:
