The invention discloses a shifting manipulator having a protective function for glass processing. The shifting manipulator comprises a base, wherein a suction disk is arranged at the end, far away from a pneumatic pump, of a telescopic hydraulic cylinder; the suction disk is fixedly connected to the telescopic hydraulic cylinder through a mounting plate; an extrusion plate is arranged on the side,far away from the mounting plate, of the suction disk; a groove is formed in the side, close to the suction disk, of the extrusion plate; an air pump switch-off button is arranged in the groove; a base plate is arranged on the side, far away from the suction disk, of the extrusion plate; an air pump switch-on button and a telescopic cylinder control switch are arranged on the base. The shifting manipulator disclosed by the invention can protect glass through the extrusion plate to effectively prevent a phenomenon that the glass falls down and is broken into pieces; furthermore, through the arrangement of the air pump switch-off button on the extrusion plate, the suction disk is not required to continuously provide suction force in a moving process of the glass, so that the service life ofthe suction disk is prolonged; energy conservation and emission reduction can be realized; the shifting manipulator is extremely high in practicability and very worth of being popularized.
