The two clearance grooves are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the first direction and correspond to the first feeding rack and the second feeding rack respectively. Each clearance groove is arranged through in the second direction to avoid accommodating the lower end of the assembly.

3. The assembly transfer device according to claim 1, characterized in that, A fixing mechanism is provided at the feeding position, the fixing mechanism comprising: A stop frame, disposed on one side of the base frame in the first direction, is provided to stop the base frame when it moves to the loading position; and, A fixing component is provided on the stop frame to relatively fix the stop frame and the base frame when the base frame moves to contact the stop frame.

4. The assembly transfer device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The fixing component includes a magnetic attraction structure and / or a clamping structure, wherein: The magnetic structure includes a magnetic suction part and a mating part. One of the magnetic suction part and the mating part is provided on the stop frame, and the other is correspondingly provided on the base frame, so that when the base frame moves to contact the stop frame, the stop frame and the base frame are magnetically fixed. The clamping structure includes a clamping part disposed on the stop frame. The clamping part is movably disposed so that when the base frame moves to contact the stop frame, it can move to clamp and fix the base frame.

5. The assembly transfer device according to claim 4, characterized in that, The length of the base frame is in the second direction; The clamping structure includes a gripper cylinder, the cylinder seat of which is disposed on the stop frame and its position is adjustable in the second direction; The clamping part includes two clamps of the clamping cylinder.

6. The assembly transfer device according to claim 3, characterized in that, The stop frame has an extension rod on the side facing the base frame, the extension rod extending along the first direction so as to be above the base frame when the base frame moves to contact the stop frame; The assembly transfer device further includes at least two assembly detectors, which are disposed on the extension rod and respectively correspond to the first feeding rack and the second feeding rack, for detecting whether there are assemblies on the first feeding rack and the second feeding rack.

7. The assembly transfer device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The base frame includes: The mounting frame is horizontally positioned; and, Four support columns are located at the bottom of the mounting frame and are set at the four corners of the mounting frame. Each support column is provided with a caster wheel at its bottom end. The transfer mechanism includes a traction trolley, which is located below the mounting frame and is driven to the mounting frame.
