Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of transfer technology, and more particularly relates to a core storage and transfer device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of field geological exploration, the proper storage and transfer of cores are key links to ensure the representativeness of collected samples, the accuracy of research, and the authenticity of test data. Currently, the core boxes widely used in the field are mostly made of plastic or wood, and are extremely prone to damage under long-term use or complex environments. When the core box is damaged, it is not conducive to subsequent core cataloging and core storage, etc., and the cores stored therein must be transferred to a new box.

[0003] However, the existing transfer methods face many problems. Usually, multiple sections of cores are stored in each core box. Some cores are difficult to transfer due to fragmentation and severe weathering. Moreover, once the position of the core is misaligned during the transfer process, the core depth data, especially the calibrated ore body thickness data, will be incorrect. Given that sampling follows the quartering method to ensure the representativeness and uniformity of sampling, if key data information such as depth and mineralization is incorrect, the subsequent core research results will inevitably be affected, which may lead to certain deviations or even errors in the conclusions.

The movable plate mechanism is arranged in the inner frame and is used to hold the core and release the core when the core reaches the intact core box. Among them, the movable plate mechanisms respectively correspond to the storage grids in the core boxes for storing cores.

[0017] In the core storage and transfer device provided by the present application, the movable plate mechanism includes a first baffle, a first shaft, a first driving motor, a second baffle, a second shaft, and a second driving motor. The long side of the first baffle is connected to the first shaft, the first shaft is rotatably connected to the inner frame, the first driving motor is drivingly connected to the first shaft, the first driving motor is connected to the inner frame, the first baffle is arranged on one inner side surface of the inner frame, the long side of the second baffle is connected to the second shaft, the second shaft is rotatably connected to the inner frame, the second driving motor is drivingly connected to the second shaft, the second driving motor is connected to the inner frame, the second baffle is arranged on the other inner side surface of the inner frame, opposite to the first baffle. The length of the first baffle is longer than that of the second baffle. When holding the core, the second baffle first rotates to the holding position, and then the first baffle rotates and abuts against the end of the second baffle, and the two form a V-shaped structure, and the core is exactly located at the V-shaped groove between the two.

[0018] In the core storage and transfer device provided by the present application, a self-locking mechanism is further included, which is arranged on the extension part of the first baffle and can slide into the wall surface groove of the second baffle corresponding to the extension part under the action of gravity and complete locking, so as to provide a supporting force for the first baffle and the second baffle carrying the core.

[0019] In the core storage and transfer device provided by the present application, the short-distance moving mechanism includes a reciprocating motor, a reciprocating arm, a connecting piece, a reciprocating frame, and a synchronous belt assembly. The reciprocating motor is connected to the mounting frame and is located at the middle position on the side of the through opening. The reciprocating arm is connected to the driving end of the reciprocating motor. The reciprocating frame is connected to the two end side walls of the inner frame. The connecting piece is connected to the end of the reciprocating arm and penetrates through the reciprocating frame. The synchronous belt assembly is arranged outside the reciprocating frame, and the connecting piece is also connected to the synchronous belt assembly. Wherein, the rotation of the reciprocating arm can drive the inner frame to move through the reciprocating frame, and the rotation of the synchronous belt assembly and the rotation of the reciprocating motor are both configured to rotate forward and backward to cooperate with the reciprocating movement of the synchronous belt assembly.

[0020] In the core storage and transfer device provided by the present application, the limiting mechanism includes limiting tracks, which are respectively arranged on the fixed plane and the movable plane and enclose a rectangle on each plane, and two core boxes are arranged in the limiting tracks.

[0023] In the present application, a intact core box is first placed on the fixed plane of the transposition mechanism, and a damaged core box is placed on the movable plane. The lids of the core boxes have been opened and removed. The limiting mechanism restricts the movement of the core boxes on the plane through the limiting tracks provided on the fixed plane and the movable plane to ensure that the positions of the core boxes are fixed. The transposition mechanism starts to work. The rotating motor drives the rotating support arm to rotate, so that the movable plane flips from the position on the same horizontal plane as the fixed plane to directly above the fixed plane, and the two planes are opposite to each other. The calibration sensor monitors in real time. When the two core boxes are placed on the corresponding planes and face each other, the opto-coupler opposed sensor receives a signal, indicating that the core boxes are aligned. When the pallet mechanism flips the damaged core box, it abuts against the core in the damaged core box. The pallet rotating motor rotates the pallet mechanism and follows the damaged core box to flip at the same time, keeping the abutting state unchanged. When the damaged core box has been flipped over, the pallet mechanism carries the core. The lifting mechanism drives the pallet mechanism to move, driving the pallet mechanism to move from the movable plane to the fixed plane, and transporting the carried core from the damaged core box to the intact core box. When the core reaches the intact core box, the pallet mechanism releases the core, releases the core into the core box for storage intact, and since the positions of the two core boxes are opposite, the storage positions of each other are relatively determined. Subsequently, the core storage position information of the new core box can be further sorted and adjusted.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can at least achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0025] Through the coordinated work of the automated transposition mechanism, pallet mechanism, and lifting mechanism, all the cores in the damaged core box can be directly transferred to a new core box at one time, eliminating the need for manual transfer of cores section by section. This greatly saves manpower and time, improves the transfer efficiency, and can avoid the mixing of cores during the transfer process, which may cause certain deviations or even errors in the depth data. The limiting mechanism ensures that the core box does not displace during the transfer process, the calibration sensor ensures the accurate alignment of the two core boxes, and the pallet mechanism keeps the position of the cores unchanged during the transfer process. The combined effect of these measures effectively avoids certain deviations or even errors in the borehole depth data and the recorded thickness of the ore body caused by the position change of the cores during the transfer process, ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent core research data.

[0046] A specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, discloses a core storage transfer device, comprising: a transposition mechanism 10, the transposition mechanism 10 includes a fixed plane 11 and a movable plane 12, the fixed plane 11 is for placing intact core boxes 13, the movable plane 12 is for placing damaged core boxes 13, the movable plane 12 can be flipped from a position flush with the fixed plane 11 to directly above the fixed plane 11, and the two planes are opposite; a limiting mechanism, arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, for restricting the movement of the core box 13; a pallet mechanism 20, arranged on the transposition mechanism 10, when flipping the damaged core box 13, it can abut against the core in the damaged core box 13, after the damaged core box 13 is flipped, it can carry the core and transport the core into the intact core box 13; a lifting mechanism 30, drivingly connected to the pallet mechanism 20, for driving the pallet mechanism 20 to move between the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12; a pallet rotation motor, connected to the lifting mechanism 30 and drivingly connected to the pallet mechanism 20, for rotating the pallet mechanism 20 and synchronously rotating with the damaged core box 13, calibration sensors, respectively arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, for determining that the core boxes 13 placed on the two planes are aligned; during the core transfer process, the lids of the two core boxes 13 have been opened and removed in advance.

[0047] During implementation, first place the intact core box 13 on the fixed plane 11 of the transposition mechanism 10, and place the damaged core box 13 on the movable plane 12. The lids of the core boxes 13 have been opened and removed. The limiting mechanism restricts the movement of the core box 13 on the plane through the limiting tracks provided on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12 to ensure that the position of the core box 13 is fixed. The transposition mechanism 10 starts to work, and the rotation motor 103 drives the rotation arm 102 to rotate, so that the movable plane 12 flips from the position on the same horizontal plane as the fixed plane 11 to directly above the fixed plane 11, and the two planes are opposite to each other. The calibration sensor monitors in real time. When the two core boxes 13 are placed on the corresponding planes and face each other, the optocoupler transmissive sensor receives a signal, indicating that the core boxes 13 are aligned. When the pallet mechanism 20 flips the damaged core box 13, it abuts against the core in the damaged core box 13. And it flips simultaneously with the damaged core box 13, maintaining the abutting state unchanged. When the damaged core box 13 has been flipped over, the pallet mechanism 20 carries the core. The lifting mechanism 30 drives the pallet mechanism 20 to move, driving the pallet mechanism 20 to move from the movable plane 12 to the fixed plane 11, and transporting the carried core from the damaged core box 13 to the intact core box 13. When the core reaches the intact core box 13, the pallet mechanism 20 releases the core, releases the core intactly into the core box 13 for storage, and since the positions of the two core boxes 13 are opposite, the storage positions of the two are relatively determined. Subsequently, the core storage position information of the new core box 13 can be further sorted and adjusted.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two core boxes 13 are initially placed on the ground with their openings facing upwards. Then, the damaged core box 13 is flipped 180 degrees so that it flips above the intact core box 13 and the opening of the damaged core box 13 faces downwards, and the alignment state can be completed. At this time, under the action of gravity, the core is carried by the pallet mechanism 20 and moves along with the pallet mechanism 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transposition mechanism 10 includes a fixed platform 101, a rotation arm 102, a rotation motor 103, a movable platform 104, and a movable motor 105. The top surface of the fixed platform 101 includes a fixed plane 11. The rotation arm 102 is rotatably connected to the center of one end of the fixed platform 101. The rotation motor 103 is drivingly connected to the rotation arm 102. The movable platform 104 is rotatably connected to the rotation arm 102. The rotation arm 102 is connected to the center of one end of the movable platform 104. The movable motor 105 is drivingly connected to the movable platform 104.

[0050] The rotating motor 103 drives the rotating support arm 102 to rotate, causing the movable platform 104 connected to the rotating support arm 102 to move accordingly, so as to move it above the fixed platform 101. The movable motor 105 can further control the rotation angle of the movable platform 104 itself to achieve the state where the openings of the two core boxes 13 face each other. For the rotation speed and angle of the movable motor 105 and the rotating motor 103, they can be pre-configured so that when the rotating support arm 102 rotates, the movable platform 104 also rotates simultaneously. When reaching the upper position, the intact core box 13 exactly corresponds to the damaged core box 13.

[0051] By setting like this, it is ensured that the movable plane 12 can accurately reach directly above the fixed plane 11 during the flipping process and maintain a relatively parallel state with the fixed plane 11. This precise transposition action can provide a stable foundation for the subsequent transfer of the core, avoiding deviations or failures in the core transfer due to inaccurate transposition.

[0052] There are two rotating support arms 102, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixed platform 101. The two rotating support arms 102 are connected by a rotating shaft 106 passing through the fixed platform 101. The rotating shaft 106 is rotatably connected to the fixed platform 101. The movable platform 104 is also provided with a rotating shaft 106 and is connected to the two rotating support arms 102 through the movable platform 104. The two rotating support arms 102 are connected and rotated by a rotating shaft 106 passing through the fixed platform 101, and the movable platform 104 is also connected to the two rotating support arms 102 through the rotating shaft 106. When the rotating motor 103 drives the rotating shaft 106 to rotate, it drives the two rotating support arms 102 to rotate synchronously, and then stably drives the movable platform 104 and the movable plane 12 thereon to flip.

[0053] Through the structure of the double rotating support arms 102 and the rotating shaft 106, the stability of the flipping process of the movable platform 104 is enhanced, ensuring that the movable plane 12 can accurately reach directly above the fixed plane 11 during the flipping process and maintaining the accuracy of the relative position, avoiding the shaking or position deviation of the core box 13 due to unstable structure and affecting the core transfer.

[0054] In some embodiments, the pallet mechanism 20 includes a mounting frame 201, a movable plate mechanism 202, a short-distance moving mechanism 203, and an inner frame 204. The mounting frame 201 is provided with a plurality of through openings 205. An inner frame 204 is arranged in each through opening 205. The short-distance moving mechanism 203 is drivingly connected to the inner frame 204. The short-distance moving mechanism 203 is connected to the mounting frame 201. The movable plate mechanism 202 is arranged in the inner frame 204 and is used to hold the core and release the core when the core reaches the intact core box 13. Among them, the movable plate mechanisms 202 respectively correspond to the storage grids in the core box 13 for storing the core.

[0055] The mounting frame 201 of the pallet mechanism 20 is provided with a plurality of through - openings 205, which are for adapting to the installation and movement of the inner frame 204. At the same time, they correspond to the core storage cells inside the core box 13.

[0056] The short - distance moving mechanism 203 is installed on the mounting frame 201, and its function is to drive the inner frame 204. When it is necessary to hold the core, the short - distance moving mechanism 203 starts to operate. The short - distance moving mechanism 203 drives the movable plate mechanism 202 to move towards the core and holds against the core. When it is necessary to put the core into the intact core box 13, the short - distance moving mechanism 203 moves in the opposite position, moving the movable plate mechanism 202 to the bottom position of the storage cell of the intact core box 13.

[0057] The movable plate mechanism 202 is arranged in the inner frame 204 and corresponds one - to - one with the storage cells in the core box 13 for storing cores. When the core needs to be transferred, after the short - distance moving mechanism 203 moves the inner frame 204 to a suitable position according to the preset program, the movable plate mechanism 202 will hold the core and prepare to transfer the core from the damaged core box 13 to the intact core box 13.

[0058] Through the constraint of the inner frame 204 by the through - openings 205 and the precise drive of the short - distance moving mechanism 203, the core can be precisely adjusted in position within a small range, ensuring that the core accurately corresponds to the storage cells in the intact core box 13 during the transfer process.

[0059] This design corresponding to the storage cells and the precise position adjustment function make the core transfer process more orderly, reduce the unnecessary searching and placing time, and improve the overall transfer efficiency.

[0060] The movable plate mechanism 202 includes a first baffle 206, a first shaft 207, a first drive motor 208, a second baffle 209, a second shaft 210 and a second drive motor 211. The long side of the first baffle 206 is connected to the first shaft 207, the first shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the inner frame 204, the first drive motor 208 is drivingly connected to the first shaft 207, the first drive motor 208 is connected to the inner frame 204, the first baffle 206 is arranged on the inner side surface of the inner frame 204. The long side of the second baffle 209 is connected to the second shaft 210, the second shaft 210 is rotatably connected to the inner frame 204, the second drive motor 211 is drivingly connected to the second shaft 210, the second drive motor 211 is connected to the inner frame 204, the second baffle 209 is arranged on the other inner side surface of the inner frame 204, opposite to the first baffle 206. The length of the first baffle 206 is longer than that of the second baffle 209. When holding the core, the second baffle 209 first rotates to the holding position, and then the first baffle 206 rotates and abuts against the end of the second baffle 209, and the two form a V - shaped structure, and the core is exactly located at the V - shaped groove 403 of the two.

[0061] When the core needs to be supported, the second drive motor 211 is started first, and its motor shaft drives the second shaft 210 to rotate. The second shaft 210 is connected to the second baffle 209, so that the second baffle 209 rotates around the second shaft 210 to a predetermined support position. Provide a preliminary support point for the core. Then, the first drive motor 208 starts to work, and the first shaft 207 rotates under its drive, and the first baffle 206 connected to the first shaft 207 rotates accordingly. Since the length of the first baffle 206 is longer than the second baffle 209, during the rotation process, the first baffle 206 will gradually approach and eventually contact the end of the second baffle 209. At this time, the two form a V-shaped structure, and the core can be stably placed in this V-shaped groove 403. During the entire flipping and transfer process, this V-shaped structure always fits the core tightly to ensure that the core will not be displaced or fall.

[0062] The V-shaped structure design can fit the core in all directions according to the shape characteristics of the core, provide stable and balanced support for the core, effectively prevent the core from slipping due to shaking, bumps, etc. during the transfer process, and ensure the stability and safety of the core during the entire transfer process.

[0063] The V-shaped structure has a certain versatility and can adapt to cores of various shapes. Whether it is a relatively regular columnar core or an irregularly shaped broken core, a stable support can be achieved through the adjustment of the V-shaped structure, which greatly improves the applicability of the device to different types of cores.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that are in contact with the core are provided with elastic cotton layers, so that when they are in contact with the core, they have a protective effect and a better supporting effect on the core.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sharp angle of the V-shaped structure formed by the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 is an obtuse angle.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, the core box 13 includes a two-layer structure, the outer layer is a wooden structure, and the inner layer is a plastic lining. When the outer layer is damaged, the inner layer can be kept intact, thereby ensuring that the core is not damaged or reducing losses.

[0067] In some embodiments, a self-locking mechanism 40 is also included, which is arranged on the extension portion 404 of the first baffle 206 and can slide into the wall groove 403 of the second baffle 209 corresponding to the extension portion 404 under the action of gravity and complete the locking, thereby providing support force for the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that support the core.

[0068] When the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 form a V-shaped structure to carry the core, the gravity of the core will exert a force on the entire movable plate mechanism 202. The self-locking mechanism 40 is arranged on the extension part 404 of the first baffle 206. Under the action of gravity, it will slide along a pre-designed chute or track towards the wall groove 403 of the second baffle 209. The self-locking mechanism 40 is automatically locked under the action of gravity, providing an additional supporting force for the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 that carry the core. Even in the case of vibrations, acceleration, deceleration, etc. during the operation of the equipment, it can ensure that the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 will not be easily separated, effectively preventing the core from falling, and further improving the reliability and safety during the core transfer process.

[0069] The self-locking mechanism 40 includes a self-locking motor 401, a self-locking cable 402, a self-locking ball head, a slide plate motor and a slide plate. The self-locking motor 401 is arranged on the first baffle 206. The self-locking cable 402 is wound around the self-locking motor 401. The self-locking ball head is connected to the end of the self-locking cable 402. The self-locking cable 402 passes through a hole in the first baffle 206. The slide plate motor is arranged on the second baffle 209. When the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 are closed, the self-locking motor 401 releases the self-locking cable 402, and the self-locking ball head drops into the groove 403 of the second baffle 209. The slide plate motor drives the slide plate to move, squeezing the edge of the groove 403, and at the same time locking the self-locking cable 402 to complete self-locking. After self-locking is completed, the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 rotate so that the extension part 404 abuts against the end of the second baffle 209 to form a complete V-shaped structure. At the same time, the self-locking cable 402 is in a taut state. With such an arrangement, when the first baffle 206 and the second baffle 209 carry the core, they have a supporting force.

[0070] In some embodiments, the short-distance moving mechanism 203 includes a reciprocating motor 213, a reciprocating arm 214, a connecting piece 215, a reciprocating frame 216, and a synchronous belt assembly 212. The reciprocating motor 213 is connected to the mounting frame 201 and is located at the middle position on the side of the through port 205. The reciprocating arm 214 is connected to the driving end of the reciprocating motor 213. The reciprocating frame 216 is connected to the two end side walls of the inner frame 204. The connecting piece 215 is connected to the end of the reciprocating arm 214 and is inserted into the reciprocating frame 216. A synchronous belt assembly 212 is arranged outside the reciprocating frame 216. The connecting piece 215 is also connected to the synchronous belt assembly 212. Among them, the rotation of the reciprocating arm 214 can drive the inner frame 204 to move through the reciprocating frame 216. The rotation of the synchronous belt assembly 212 and the rotation of the reciprocating motor 213 are both configured to rotate forward and backward to cooperate with the reciprocating movement of the synchronous belt assembly 212.

[0071] The setting of the synchronous belt assembly 212 enables the reciprocating movement of the inner frame 204 without deviation and shaking. The short-distance moving mechanism 203 is used to, when the lifting mechanism 30 reaches the opening of the core box 13, due to the interference of the mounting frame 201, the mounting frame 201 cannot continue to descend. Therefore, through the lifting of the short-distance moving mechanism 203, the movable plate mechanism 202 is inserted into the core box 13 to complete the corresponding actions.

[0072] The reciprocating motor 213 is fixed on the mounting frame 201, located at the middle position on the side of the through port 205, serving as the power source of the short-distance moving mechanism 203. When the reciprocating motor 213 is powered on and started, the drive shaft of the motor drives the reciprocating arm 214 to perform a circular motion. The end of the reciprocating arm 214 is connected to the connecting piece 215, and the connecting piece 215 is inserted into the reciprocating frame 216 connected to the side walls at both ends of the inner frame 204. With the circular motion of the reciprocating arm 214, the connecting piece 215 performs a reciprocating linear motion within the reciprocating frame 216.

[0073] Meanwhile, a synchronous belt assembly 212 is provided outside the reciprocating frame 216, and the connecting piece 215 is also connected to the synchronous belt assembly 212. The synchronous belt assembly 212 is driven by a motor, and its rotation direction and speed match those of the reciprocating motor 213. When the reciprocating motor 213 rotates forward or backward, the synchronous belt assembly 212 also rotates forward or backward accordingly. Through the coordinated action of the two, precise control of the reciprocating frame 216 is achieved, thereby driving the inner frame 204 to perform a short-distance reciprocating movement within the through port 205 of the mounting frame 201.

[0074] Through the coordinated work of the reciprocating motor 213, the synchronous belt assembly 212, the connecting piece 215, and the reciprocating frame 216, precise control of the inner frame 204 and the core position can be achieved. The moving direction and distance of the inner frame 204 can be precisely adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the core can accurately reach the target storage grid in the intact core box 13, improving the accuracy of core transfer.

[0075] This design enables the inner frame 204 to perform reciprocating movements in two directions to adapt to different core transfer requirements. It should be noted that since the synchronous belt assembly 212 is connected to the connecting piece 215, it can only perform reciprocating movements, that is, after the connecting piece 215 moves from one end of the synchronous belt to the other end, it returns along the original path without making a circular movement and then returning.

[0076] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism includes limiting tracks, which are respectively arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12 and enclose a rectangle on each plane. Two core boxes 13 are arranged within the limiting tracks. The limiting mechanism respectively arranges limiting tracks on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12, and these limiting tracks all enclose a rectangle. The shape of the rectangle is adapted to the outer shape of the core box 13. When the core box 13 is placed on the plane, it is surrounded by the limiting tracks from four directions.

[0077] The limiting track usually adopts a convex structure or a groove 403 structure, into which the edge of the core box 13 is embedded, thereby restricting the movement of the core box 13 on the plane.

[0078] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting track 301, a lifting slider 302, and a lifting drive motor. The lifting slider 302 is slidably connected to the lifting track 301. The lifting track 301 is connected to the rotating arm 102 and is arranged along the length direction of the rotating arm 102. The lifting drive motor is drivingly connected to the lifting slider 302, and the lifting slider 302 is connected to the pallet mechanism 20.

[0079] The pallet rotating motor is connected to the lifting slider 302 and is drivingly connected to the mounting frame 201 for driving the mounting frame 201 to rotate.

[0080] The lifting track 301 is connected to the rotating arm 102 along the length direction of the rotating arm 102, providing a vertical movement track for the lifting slider 302. A sliding fit is adopted between the lifting slider 302 and the lifting track 301, such as a linear guide rail slider structure, to ensure that the lifting slider 302 can slide smoothly up and down on the lifting track 301.

[0081] The lifting drive motor is connected to the lifting slider 302 by means of a coupling or belt drive. When the lifting drive motor is started, the lifting slider 302 makes a linear movement on the lifting track 301. When the motor rotates forward, the lifting slider 302 rises; when the motor rotates in reverse, the lifting slider 302 descends.

[0082] Since the lifting slider 302 is connected to the pallet mechanism 20, the pallet mechanism 20 will move vertically between the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12 along with the movement of the lifting slider 302, thereby realizing the rapid transfer of the core between different planes.

[0083] The calibration sensor includes an opto-coupler opposed sensor. When the two core boxes 13 are facing each other, the opto-coupler opposed sensor can receive a signal. The calibration sensor adopts an opto-coupler opposed sensor, which consists of a transmitting end and a receiving end. The transmitting end and the receiving end are respectively arranged on the fixed plane 11 and the movable plane 12 and are in corresponding positions.

[0084] When the core boxes 13 placed on the two planes gradually approach each other, the light emitted by the transmitting end will shine on the receiving end. If the two core boxes 13 are facing each other, the light can smoothly pass through the gap between the two core boxes 13 and be received by the receiving end. After receiving the light, the receiving end will convert the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control system of the device.

[0085] If the two core boxes 13 are not aligned, a certain part of the core box 13 will block the light, preventing the receiving end from receiving a complete optical signal. At this time, the control system will receive different signal feedbacks, thereby learning that the core box 13 is not aligned.

[0086] The above specific implementation manners further elaborate on the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present application. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation manners of the present application and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
