The highest point of the extension plate 2 53 is adjacent to the buffer container 24 at the toggle block 51. The extension plate 2 53 can be supported under the device after the buffer container 24, so that the device can roll from the farther buffer container 24 to the conveying plate 31, while reducing the interference between the components.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] The conveyor plate 31 conveys the components between the front and rear devices.

[0047] Cache: When the downstream equipment is under maintenance, each time a device is delivered by the conveying plate 31, the storage drive source 41 drives the storage push rod 43 to push the device into the cache container 24; each time a cache container 24 caches a device, the drive source 11 drives the moving chain 21 to move, so that the empty cache container 24 reaches the cache position and waits for the next cache; this cycle continues.

[0048] Release: When the front-end equipment is under maintenance, the toggle block 51 extends under the buffer container 24, and each buffer container 24 passing by will be overturned by the toggle block 51, so that the devices therein roll onto the conveying plate 31, continuously supplying materials to the back-end equipment.

[0049] What needs to be supplemented in this embodiment is that the present invention is composed of specific hardware structures such as a driving source, and some hardware involves software programs during operation. The software programs that assist the operation of the machine are all existing reproducible software programs and do not constitute the innovation of this application.
