Abstract

Provided are a handling robot ( 600 ) and a handling assembly ( 100 ) thereof, and the handling assembly ( 100 ) includes a base component ( 10 ), a handling arm component ( 20 ), a hook ( 31 ) and a driving component ( 40 ). The handling arm component ( 20 ) is slidably mounted to the base component ( 10 ), and may perform a reciprocating linear movement on the base component ( 10 ). The driving component ( 40 ) is connected with the handling arm component ( 20 ), for driving the handling arm component ( 20 ) and the hook ( 31 ) to perform a reciprocating linear movement. Through the above structure, the handling assembly ( 100 ) pulling and pushing the material box ( 500 ) is realized without extending into two sides of the material box ( 500 ), thereby saving working space of the handling assembly ( 100 ), enabling the material boxes ( 500 ) of the warehousing to be placed next to each other, and improving the storage density of the warehouse.
