Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying system technology, and more specifically, to a conveying system. Background Technology

[0002] The conveying system includes multiple conveying paths arranged in parallel, and the moving module can move on different conveying paths to convey workpieces. The conveying system includes a first conveying module and a second conveying module arranged at intervals from the first conveying module, and both the first and second conveying modules are provided with conveying paths.

[0003] In related technologies, when it is necessary to transfer the moving part module from the first conveying module to the second conveying module, a connecting device is usually used to transport the moving part module. The first conveying module is provided with a first connecting notch, and the second conveying module is provided with a second connecting notch. When the connecting moving part on the connecting device aligns with the first connecting notch, the connecting moving part can be transported to the first conveying module; however, due to the presence of the second connecting notch at this time, the conveying path of the second conveying module is interrupted, reducing the conveying efficiency.

[0004] Thus, the conveying efficiency of the connecting devices in related technologies is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Furthermore, the conveying system also includes a second guide structure disposed between the second connecting stator and the moving part module.

[0020] Furthermore, the second motor is provided with multiple second connecting stators; or, the connecting module also includes a third connecting stator connected to the second motor, wherein when the second motor drives the second connecting stator to move in one of the modes of rotation and linear movement, the second motor drives the third connecting stator to move in another of the modes of rotation and linear movement.

[0021] Furthermore, the connection module also includes a fourth connection stator disposed on the first motor, wherein the second connection stator has a first length, and the fourth connection stator has a second length different from the first length; and / or, the fourth connection stator has a third coupling surface, wherein when the second coupling surface is disposed along one of the lateral and vertical directions, the third coupling surface is disposed along the other of the lateral and vertical directions.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveying system includes: a moving module 10, a first conveying module 20, a second conveying module 30, and a connecting module 40. The second conveying module 30 is spaced apart from the first conveying module 20. Both the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 have notches. The connecting module 40 is disposed at the notches of the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30. The first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 are connected through the connecting module 40, so that the moving module 10 can move between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30.

[0049] The connection module 40 includes a first motor 71, a second motor 72, a first connection stator 41, and a second connection stator 42. The first connection stator 41 and the second motor 72 are disposed on the first motor 71, and the second connection stator 42 is disposed on the second motor 72. The first motor 71 drives the second motor 72 and the first connection stator 41 to move linearly. The second motor 72 drives the second connection stator 42 to rotate or move linearly. The first connection stator 41 has a first coupling surface, and the second connection stator 42 has a second coupling surface. Both the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are arranged in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. In this way, the first motor 71 can drive the first connecting stator 41, the second motor 72, and the second connecting stator 42 to move synchronously, so that the first connecting stator 41 moves horizontally to move the moving module 10 between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30, or so that the second connecting stator 42 moves horizontally to move the moving module 10 between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30. It is understood that when the first connecting stator 41 is connected to the first conveying module 20, the second connecting stator 42 can be connected to the second conveying module 30, so that both the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 can perform normal conveying, improving conveying efficiency.

[0050] The second motor 72 can drive the second connecting stator 42 to rotate or move linearly, thereby increasing the docking methods between the second connecting stator 42 and the second conveying module 30, improving docking accuracy, and also improving the flexibility and efficiency of the conveying system. When the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate and move, it can increase the diversity of the setting position of the second conveying module 30. It can be understood that since the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate, the conveying direction of the second connecting stator 42 is diversified. At this time, the second conveying module 30 may not be set parallel to the first conveying module 20. When the second connecting stator 42 is connected to the first conveying module 20, the second motor 72 has a first rotation angle. Subsequently, the first motor 71 drives the second motor 72 to move so that the second connecting stator 42 is connected to the second conveying module 30. Since the extension directions of the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 are different, when the second connecting stator 42 is connected to the second conveying module 30, the second motor 72 has a second rotation angle. In this embodiment, a second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate. By setting the second motor 72 to have different rotation angles when connected to different conveying modules, the placement of the second conveying module 30 can be diversified, thereby improving the flexibility of the conveying system. In other embodiments, when the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to move linearly, the direction of movement of the second motor 72 can be the same as that of the first motor 71, thus giving the second connecting stator 42 a longer travel distance and increasing the distance between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30. When the direction of movement of the second motor 72 is at an angle to the direction of movement of the first motor 71, the gaps between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 are misaligned. This embodiment of the application establishes a connecting module to facilitate the transport of the moving module 10 between the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30. When the moving module 10 moves from the first conveying module 20 to the second connecting stator 42, the first connecting stator 41 ensures the continuity of the first conveying module 20. Furthermore, the second connecting stator 42, through rotation or linear movement, adapts to different positions of the second conveying module 30, thereby transporting the moving module 10 onto the second conveying module 30. This embodiment effectively solves the problem of low transport efficiency in connecting devices in related technologies, while also improving the diversity and flexibility of the conveying system's configuration.

[0051] Furthermore, both the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are arranged in either a horizontal or vertical direction to increase the diversity of the conveyor module structure, thereby enabling the mover module 10 to have diverse configuration structures to adapt to different working conditions. In this embodiment, the horizontal or vertical direction can be broadly understood as any direction within the horizontal plane, and the vertical direction as any direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. That is, when both the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are arranged in a horizontal direction, both are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the coil structure of the first connecting stator 41 and the coil structure of the second connecting stator 42 (also referred to as the armature winding structure) are both parallel to the horizontal plane, i.e., both the coil structure of the first connecting stator 41 and the coil structure of the second connecting stator 42 are horizontally arranged. When both the first coupling surface and the second coupling surface are arranged vertically, both are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The coil structures of the first connecting stator 41 and the second connecting stator 42 are also perpendicular to the horizontal plane; that is, both are vertically oriented. It should be noted that the coupling surface refers to the surface through which energy and force are transferred between different electromagnetic components in an electromagnetic drive system via electromagnetic fields. The first coupling surface refers to the finite surface formed on the surface of the first connecting stator 41 when it is coupled to the mover module 10; it can be broadly referred to as the surface of the coil structure of the first connecting stator 41. The second coupling surface refers to the finite surface formed on the surface of the second connecting stator 42 when it is coupled to the mover module 10; it can be broadly referred to as the surface of the coil structure of the second connecting stator 42.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first connecting stator 41 may be one, two, three, or more. The second connecting stator 42 may be one, two, three, or more.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3When the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to move linearly, the driving direction of the second motor 72 is the same as that of the first motor 71, and the position control accuracy of the second motor 72 is higher than that of the first motor 71. In this way, the first motor 71 can drive the second connecting stator 42 to approximately its position, and the second motor 72, with its higher position control accuracy, can drive the second connecting stator 42 to precisely align with the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30, improving the connection accuracy of the second connecting stator 42. Furthermore, using the second motor 72 with higher position control accuracy to linearly drive the second connecting stator 42 reduces collisions between the second connecting stator 42 and the edges of the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30 during alignment, thus extending the service life of the conveying system. By using both the first motor 71 and the second motor 72 while improving docking accuracy, costs can be reduced.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to move linearly, there is a preset angle between the driving direction of the second motor 72 and the driving direction of the first motor 71. This allows the second connecting stator 42 to move in two directions, increasing its range of motion and thus improving the flexibility of the connection. Furthermore, when the docking point of the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30 is inclined, driving the second connecting stator 42 to move along a direction at a preset angle to the driving direction of the first motor 71 allows the second connecting stator 42 to better dock with the inclined docking point, improving docking accuracy and enhancing the flexibility and production versatility of the conveying system.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, when the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to move linearly, the driving direction of the second motor 72 is perpendicular to the driving direction of the first motor 71. It is understood that the conveying system may also include a third conveying module 80, which is spaced apart from the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30, and the third conveying module 80 and the second conveying module 30 are collinear. The third conveying module 80 and the second conveying module 30 belong to different process sections. When the moving module 10 is conveyed from the first conveying module 20 to the second connecting stator 42, the first motor 71 moves upward and the second motor 72 moves to the left, so that the moving module 10 is conveyed to the second conveying module 30 for the next stage of process operation; or, the first motor 71 moves upward and the second motor 72 moves to the right, so that the moving module 10 is conveyed to the third conveying module 80 for the next stage of process operation.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, when the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate, the second motor 72 has a first rotation axis 60, and the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate around the first rotation axis 60. The second connecting stator 42 has a first central axis 424 perpendicular to the second coupling surface, and the first central axis 424 is offset from the first rotation axis 60. This offset arrangement of the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 allows the second connecting stator 42 to have a larger coverage area during rotation, meaning the second conveying module 30 can have a longer notch, allowing for a greater distance at the connection point using the second connecting stator 42, thus enabling connections over longer distances. It is understandable that when the second conveying module 30 has a longer notch, the installation cost of the second conveying module 30 can be reduced; on the other hand, because the second connecting stator has a larger coverage area, the length requirement of the second connecting stator 42 can be reduced, lowering production costs. It should be noted that the misalignment of the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 means that the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 are not collinear.

[0057] It should be noted that the first central axis 424 is located at the center point of the second coupling surface and is perpendicular to the second coupling surface. That is, for the coil structure included in the second connecting stator 42, the coil structure is centrally symmetrical about the first central axis. It can be understood that the misalignment of the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 includes any of the following: the first central axis 424 intersects the first rotation axis 60, the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 are coplanar, the first central axis 424 and the first rotation axis 60 are not coplanar, and the first central axis 424 is parallel to the first rotation axis 60.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting module 40 also includes a base 50, a second connecting stator 42 disposed on the base 50, and a second motor 72 fixedly connected to the base 50 to drive the base 50 and the second connecting stator 42 to rotate. The rotation axis of the base 50 forms a first rotation axis 60, which passes through the base 50 and is parallel to the second coupling surface. The first rotation axis 60 is perpendicular to the first central axis 424. In this embodiment, by placing the second connecting stator 42 on the base, the stability of the second connecting stator 42 is improved. Furthermore, by setting the rotation axis of the base 50 to form the first rotation axis 60, which passes through the base 50 and is parallel to the second coupling surface, the force on the second connecting stator 42 during rotation is more uniform, improving the stability of the second connecting stator 42 during rotation and thus enhancing the reliability of the conveying system.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base 50 has a first connecting surface 51, a second connecting surface 52, and a connecting surface 53. The first connecting surface 51 and the second connecting surface 52 are arranged opposite to each other, and the connecting surface 53 is adjacent to the first connecting surface 51 and the second connecting surface 52. At least one second connecting stator 42 is provided on the first connecting surface 51, and at least one second connecting stator 42 is provided on the second connecting surface 52. The first rotation axis 60 extends laterally and passes through the connecting surface 53. In this embodiment, by setting the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface, that is, by setting multiple connecting stators on both sides of the first rotation axis 60, the rotation of the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator to rotate around the first rotation axis, so as to selectively realize the connection between the second connecting stator 42 and the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30. For example, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first conveying module 20 and the second conveying module 30 have different installation heights. When the connecting module is connected to the first conveying module 20, the second connecting stator 42 located on the first connecting surface is connected to the first conveying module 20. Subsequently, the first motor 71 drives the second motor 72 to move towards the second conveying module 30. After the first motor 71 moves into position, the second motor 72 rotates to drive the second connecting stator 42 located on the first connecting surface to rotate around the first rotation axis 60, thereby changing the height position of the second connecting stator 42. After the second motor 72 rotates into position, the second connecting stator 42 located on the first connecting surface is connected to the second conveying module 30, and the moving module 10 can move to the second conveying module 30. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base 50 drives the installation of the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface 51 and the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface 52, providing more options for the connection point, improving the flexibility of the conveying system during connection, reducing the number of drive sources, and lowering costs. Furthermore, by allowing the base 50 to rotate at a small angle, the second connecting stator 42 can be docked with the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30, which further improves the docking efficiency and thus improves production efficiency.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, the second coupling surface of the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface 51 and the second coupling surface of the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface 52 are arranged parallel to each other. The second coupling surface of the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface 51 has a first projection range on the orthographic projection of the first connecting surface, and the second coupling surface of the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface 52 has a second projection range on the orthographic projection of the first connecting surface. The first projection range and the second projection range are staggered. In this way, the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface 51 and the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface 52 are staggered. For example, the second connecting stator 42 on the first connecting surface and the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface are symmetrically arranged about the first rotation axis. This prevents damage to the second connecting stator 42 during operation caused by negative effects such as eccentricity or uneven weight distribution when the rotating base 50 rotates. Furthermore, since the second connecting stator 42 located on the first connecting surface 51 is misaligned with the second connecting stator 42 on the second connecting surface 52, the second connecting stator 42 has a larger range of movement, thereby increasing the connecting range of the second connecting stator 42 and improving the flexibility of the conveying system setup.

[0061] In other embodiments, the second connecting stator 42 includes a linear connecting stator and an arc-shaped connecting stator. The linear connecting stator is disposed on the first connecting surface 51, and the arc-shaped connecting stator is disposed on the second connecting surface 52. The second coupling surface of the linear connecting stator and the second coupling surface of the arc-shaped connecting stator are arranged parallel to each other. This application embodiment improves the structural diversity of the connecting module and thus enhances the conveying diversity of the conveying system by providing various second connecting stators 42 with different structures.

[0062] In other embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the base 50 has a rotating part 54 and a mounting part 55 disposed on one side of the rotating part 54. The second connecting stator 42 is mounted on the mounting part 55, and the first rotating axis 60 passes through the rotating part 54 and is spaced apart from the mounting part 55. In this way, a smaller angle of rotation of the base 50 can be used to achieve a larger stroke of movement of the second connecting stator 42, thereby increasing the connecting efficiency of the second connecting stator 42 and improving the conveying efficiency of the conveying system. Furthermore, the second connecting stator 42 can have a larger coverage area when rotating, allowing for a greater distance at the connection point, thus enabling connections over longer distances and reducing the length requirement of the second connecting stator 42, thereby reducing production costs.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, when the first coupling surface is arranged in the lateral direction, the second connecting stator 42 further includes a first stator body 421, a first armature winding 423, and a first detection element. Both the first armature winding 423 and the first detection element are disposed on the first stator body 421, with the first detection element spaced apart from the first armature winding 423. Specifically, the first detection element is spaced apart on one side of the first armature winding in the lateral direction, or the first detection element is disposed within the first stator body, opposite and spaced apart from the first armature winding. The mover module 10 includes a first mover body 11, a first permanent magnet 13, and a first sensing element. Both the first permanent magnet 13 and the first sensing element are disposed on the first mover body 11, with the first permanent magnet 13 corresponding to the first armature winding 423, and the first sensing element corresponding to the first detection element. The first armature winding is coupled to the first permanent magnet to drive the mover module 10 to move. The first detection element cooperates with the first sensing element to detect the position of the mover module 10. It should be noted that the first permanent magnet 13 and the first sensing element can be an integrated structure, that is, the first sensing element directly detects the first permanent magnet. For example, the conveying system acquires the position of the moving module in real time so that when the connecting module 40 completes the connection, it drives the moving module 10 to move; when the connecting module 40 is in the connection process, the conveying system sends a command to energize the connecting stator so that the moving module 10 is stably set on the connecting stator, thereby avoiding negative impacts such as derailment caused by the movement of the moving module 10 during the connection process.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the conveying system also includes a first guide structure disposed between the connecting stator and the moving module 10. The first guide structure includes a first guide rail 422 and a first slider 12 that guide and cooperate with each other. The first slider 12 is disposed on the first moving body 11, and the first guide rail 422 is disposed on the first stator body 421. The first slider 12 and the first guide rail 422 can guide the moving module 10, so that the movement of the moving module 10 on the second connecting stator 42 is more stable and reliable, improving the stability of the moving module 10 when carrying the workpiece movement and improving the smoothness of transportation.

[0065] In some embodiments, there is one first guide rail 422, and the first guide rail 422 and the first detection element are disposed on opposite sides of the first armature winding 423. Alternatively, in other embodiments, there are two first guide rails 422, which are fixedly disposed on the first stator body, and the first armature winding 423 and the first detection element are disposed between the two first guide rails 422. This embodiment of the application, by configuring the cooperation between the first slider and the first guide rail 422, enables the first guide rail 422 to guide the mover module 10, making the movement of the mover module 10 on the second connecting stator 42 more stable and reliable, improving the stability of the mover module 10 when carrying the workpiece movement, and improving the smoothness of the transport of the mover module 10.

[0066] In other embodiments, when the second coupling surface is arranged vertically, the second connecting stator 42 includes a second stator body, a second armature winding, and a second detection element. Both the second detection element and the second armature winding are disposed on the second stator body, with the second detection element and the second armature winding spaced apart. The mover module 10 includes a second mover body, a second permanent magnet, and a second sensing element. Both the second permanent magnet and the second sensing element are disposed on the second mover body, with the second permanent magnet corresponding to the second armature winding, and the second sensing element corresponding to the second detection element. The second armature winding is coupled to the second permanent magnet to drive the mover module 10 to move. The second detection element cooperates with the second sensing element to detect the position of the mover module 10. It should be noted that the second permanent magnet and the second sensing element can be an integral structure, i.e., the second detection element directly detects the second permanent magnet.

[0067] Furthermore, the conveying system also includes a second guide structure disposed between the second connecting stator 42 and the moving module 10. The second guide structure includes a second guide rail and a second slider that guide and cooperate with each other. The second slider is disposed on the second moving body, and the second guide rail is disposed on the second stator body. In this embodiment, by configuring the cooperation between the second slider and the second guide rail, the second guide rail can guide the moving module 10, making the movement of the moving module 10 on the second connecting stator 42 more stable and reliable, improving the stability of the moving module when carrying the workpiece, and improving the smoothness of the transport of the moving module 10. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, when the second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate, the second motor 72 has a second rotation axis 61. The second motor 72 drives the second connecting stator 42 to rotate around the second rotation axis 61. The second connecting stator 42 has a second central axis 426 perpendicular to the second coupling surface, and the second central axis 426 is collinear with the second rotation axis 61. This allows the second connecting stator 42 to rotate around the second central axis 426 of the second coupling surface, improving the stability of the second connecting stator 42 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of the mover module 10 and the smoothness of the conveying system. It can be understood that the second central axis 426 is located at the center point of the second coupling surface and is perpendicular to the second coupling surface. That is, for the coil structure included in the second connecting stator 42, the coil structure is centrally symmetrical about the second central axis 426. Furthermore, as mentioned above, when the second connecting stator 42 includes a first armature winding 423, the first armature winding 423 is centrally symmetrical about the second central axis 426. In this embodiment, by setting the second central axis 426 and the second rotation axis 61 to be collinear, that is, setting the rotation center point of the first armature winding 423 and the rotation center point of the second motor 72 to be collinear, and setting the rotation angle of the second motor 72 to be the same as or proportional to the rotation angle of the first armature winding 423, this not only improves the rotation accuracy of the first armature winding 423 when it rotates, so that the second connecting stator 42 can be more accurately connected and cooperated with the second conveying module 30, but also improves the stability of the second connecting stator 42 when it rotates.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the second motor 72 is provided with a plurality of second connecting stators 42. The arrangement of multiple second connecting stators 42 facilitates docking with the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30, increasing the versatility of docking and thus improving the flexibility of the conveying system. Alternatively, as... Figure 10 As shown, the connection module also includes a third connection stator 43 connected to the second motor 72. When the second motor 72 drives the second connection stator 42 to move in one of the modes of rotation and linear movement, the second motor 72 drives the third connection stator 43 to move in the other mode of rotation and linear movement. In this way, by setting up the second connection stator 42 and the third connection stator 43, the motion requirements of linear movement and rotation can be met simultaneously, thereby satisfying more different connection needs, improving the diversity of connection, and thus improving the flexibility of the conveying system.

[0069] Furthermore, the third connecting stator 43 is fixedly connected to the first gear, and a second gear is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft of the second motor 72. The two ends of the first rack mesh with the first gear and the second gear, respectively. This allows the first gear to drive the third connecting stator 43 to rotate via the first rack and the second gear when the motor shaft of the second motor 72 rotates. Alternatively, the third gear is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the second motor 72, and the third connecting stator is fixedly connected to the second rack. This allows the third gear to drive the third connecting stator 43 to move linearly via the second rack when the motor shaft of the second motor 72 rotates.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the docking module further includes a fourth docking stator disposed on the first motor 71, wherein the second docking stator 42 has a first length, and the fourth docking stator has a second length different from the first length. The fourth docking stator has a third coupling surface, wherein when the second coupling surface is disposed along one of the transverse and vertical directions, the third coupling surface is disposed along the other of the transverse and vertical directions. This allows the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30 to select the second docking stator 42 or the fourth docking stator for docking according to the size of its docking gap, reducing gaps during docking, improving docking accuracy, and thus improving conveying efficiency. The provision of the third coupling surface allows the first conveying module 20 or the second conveying module 30 to select the second docking stator 42 or the fourth docking stator for docking according to its requirements for the coupling surface, improving the adaptability of the conveying system.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the connection module further includes a fourth connection stator disposed on the first motor 71, wherein the first connection stator 41 has a first length and the fourth connection stator has a second length different from the first length. Alternatively, the fourth connection stator has a third coupling surface, wherein when the first coupling surface is disposed along one of the lateral and vertical directions, the third coupling surface is disposed along the other of the lateral and vertical directions.

[0072] like Figure 11As shown, the connecting module also includes a fifth connecting stator 44 spaced apart from the second connecting stator 42. The second motor 72 drives and cooperates with the second connecting stator 42. The first connecting stator 41 is located between the second connecting stator 42 and the fifth connecting stator 44. The first conveying module 20 includes a first line 21 and a second line 22. The second conveying module 30 includes a third line 31 and a fourth line 32. The first line 21 and the second line 22 are spaced apart. The second connecting stator 42 is located between the first line 21 and the second line 22. The second motor 72 can drive the second connecting stator 42 to rotate between a first position and a second position. The second connecting stator 42 is in the first position. When in the second position, the second connecting stator 42 is connected to both the first wire 21 and the second wire 22. When the second connecting stator 42 is in the second position, it is connected to the first end of the first connecting stator 41. The second motor 72 can drive the fifth connecting stator 44 to rotate between the third and fourth positions. When the fifth connecting stator 44 is in the third position, it is connected to both the third wire 31 and the fourth wire 32. When the fifth connecting stator 44 is in the fourth position, it is connected to the second end of the first connecting stator 41. The first motor 71 drives the second motor 72, the second connecting stator 42, and the fifth connecting stator 44 to move linearly. In this way, the first motor 71 drives the second motor 72, the second connecting stator 42, and the fifth connecting stator 44 to move synchronously and linearly, facilitating the docking of the fifth connecting stator 44 with the first connecting stator 41, the fifth connecting stator 44 with the third line body 31 and the fourth line body 32, the second connecting stator 42 with the first connecting stator 41, and the second connecting stator 42 with the first line body 21 and the second line body 22. The rotation of the second connecting stator 42 between the first and second positions allows the mover module 10 on the first line body 21 or the second line body 22 to be transported to the first connecting stator 41. The rotation of the fifth connecting stator 44 between the third and fourth positions allows the mover module 10 on the first connecting stator 41 to be transported to the third line body 31 or the fourth line body 32. This allows the mover module 10 on the first conveying module 20 to be conveyed to the second conveying module 30 via the second connecting stator 42, the first connecting stator 41, and the fifth connecting stator 44. This increases the number of connecting methods and improves connecting efficiency and flexibility.

[0073] In some embodiments, the number of first connecting stators 41 is one or multiple connected ones.
