[0002] When assembling products to be assembled, since the products have many parts and components, it is necessary to transport the semi-finished products assembled by the upstream process to the downstream process in order to perform the corresponding operations.

[0003] In order to improve assembly efficiency, some production workshops will choose to set up conveyor belts in the workshops, and set up corresponding workstations on both sides of the conveyor belts to assemble spare parts, thereby improving assembly efficiency by assembling and transmitting at the same time. However, this requires a high consistency in the production rhythm of the entire assembly line, and once a process fails, it is very easy to cause the line to stop, affecting the production efficiency and delivery time of the product. Of course, some production workshops will also use turnover vehicles to transport semi-finished products from upstream processes to downstream processes. In this process, first, after the upstream process is assembled, the equipment needs to be moved to the turnover vehicle, and then the semi-finished products need to be transferred to the corresponding workstation before the downstream process begins. The labor intensity is high, the steps are complicated, and it is very easy to cause bumps, scratches, and parts displacement to the product, thereby increasing the subsequent workload, increasing production costs, and reducing work efficiency.
