[0074] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0075] First, it should be noted that the X, Y, and Z directions mentioned in the embodiments of this application are referred to in the appendix. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The directions marked in the middle. Among them, the axes in the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction intersect each other.

[0076] like Figures 1-11 As shown, according to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a conveying system 100 is provided, including a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a translational conveying mechanism 3; the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are spaced apart along the X direction, and a clearance area 20 is formed between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2; the translational conveying mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 along the Y direction; the translational conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying component 31 and a driving component 32, the conveying component 31 is connected to the driving end of the driving component 32, and the conveying component 31 can pass through the clearance area 20 to connect the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0077] like Figures 1-11As shown, the conveying system 100 includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a translational conveying mechanism 3; wherein, the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 are spaced apart along the X direction, and a clearance area 20 is formed between the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2; the first conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey products, and the second conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey products; the translational conveying mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the first conveying mechanism 1 along the Y direction, and the translational conveying mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the second conveying mechanism 2 along the Y direction; the translational conveying mechanism 3 can be connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, so that products can be conveyed from the first conveying mechanism 1 to the second conveying mechanism 2 or from the second conveying mechanism 2 to the first conveying mechanism 1 through the translational conveying mechanism 3.

[0078] Further explanation: The translational conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying component 31 and a driving component 32. The conveying component 31 can be connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 in the Y direction. The conveying component 31 is connected to the driving end of the driving component 32, which can drive the conveying component 31 to move in the X direction. This allows the conveying component 31 to pass through the avoidance area 20 to connect the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, or to avoid the avoidance area 20 and disconnect the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. When the conveying system 100 is working normally, the conveying component 31 passes through the avoidance area 20 to connect the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. The working environments of the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 may be different. When a safety accident (such as a fire) occurs in the first conveying mechanism 1 or the second conveying mechanism 2, the driving component 32 drives the conveying component 31 to move in the X direction, and the conveying component 31 avoids the avoidance area 20. In the Z direction, a roller shutter door is provided above the avoidance area 20. When the roller shutter door is lowered, it separates the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0079] The conveying system 100 of this application has a conveying component 31 arranged along the Y direction with the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. In the event of a safety accident, the conveying component 31 can be moved along the X direction by the driving component 32. The movement steps are simple, which can quickly isolate the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2 to improve safety.

[0080] like Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying component 31 includes a first position and a second position; in the first position, the first conveying component 31 passes through the avoidance area 20 and connects the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2; in the second position, the first conveying component 31 avoids the avoidance area 20 and disconnects the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2; specifically, the conveying component 31 moves from the first position to the second position, or from the second position to the first position, by driving the conveying component 31 to move along the X direction by the driving component 32.

[0081] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying assembly 31 includes a conveying member 311, with a first port 3111 and a second port 3112 at its two ends along the X direction; the first conveying mechanism 1 includes a third port 15, and the second conveying mechanism 2 includes a fourth port 25, with the third port 15 and the fourth port 25 spaced apart along the X direction; the first port 3111 can abut against the third port 15 along the Y direction, and the second port 3112 can abut against the fourth port 25 along the Y direction; specifically, the conveying direction of the conveying member 311 is the X direction, so the conveying member 311 can convey products along the X direction; along the X direction, the two ends of the conveying member 311 are respectively located at the first port 3111 and the second port 3112, with the first port 3111 facing the Y direction and the second port 3112 facing the Y direction, which can also be understood as the first port 3111 facing the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second port 3112 facing the second conveying mechanism 2; the first conveying mechanism 1 includes the third port 15. The third port 15 is the conveying inlet or outlet of the first conveying mechanism 1. The third port 15 faces the Y direction. The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a fourth port 25. The fourth port 25 is the conveying inlet or outlet of the second conveying mechanism 2. The fourth port 25 faces the Y direction. It can be understood that the third port 15 faces the conveying assembly 31 and the fourth port 25 faces the conveying assembly 31. When the conveying assembly 31 is in the first position, the first port 3111 abuts against the third port 15 along the Y direction, and the second port 3112 abuts against the fourth port 25 along the Y direction. The product can thus be conveyed on the first conveying mechanism 1 to the conveying assembly 31 through the third port 15 and the first port 3111, and from the conveying assembly 31 to the second conveying mechanism 2 through the second port 3112 and the fourth port 25. Alternatively, the product can thus be conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 2 to the conveying assembly 31 through the fourth port 25 and the second port 3112, and from the conveying assembly 31 to the first conveying mechanism 1 through the third port 15 and the first port 3111.

[0082] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying member 311 includes a first conveying portion 3113, a first limiting portion 3114, a second limiting portion 3115, and a first guide portion 3116. The first limiting portion 3114 and the second limiting portion 3115 are disposed on both sides of the first conveying portion 3113 along the Y direction. In the Y direction, the second limiting portion 3115 is closer to the first conveying mechanism 1 than the first limiting portion 3114. One end of the first guide portion 3116 is connected to one end of the first limiting portion 3114, and the other end of the first guide portion 3116 and one end of the second limiting portion 3115 form the first port 3111. Specifically... The first conveying section 3113 is used to convey products along the X direction. In the Y direction, the first limiting section 3114 and the second limiting section 3115 are located on both sides of the first conveying section 3113, and the first limiting section 3114 and the second limiting section 3115 play a limiting role for the products. One end of the first guiding section 3116 is connected to one end of the first limiting section 3114, and the other end of the first guiding section 3116 and one end of the second limiting section 3115 form a first port 3111. The first guiding section 3116 can play a guiding role so that the products can enter the first conveying section 3113 from the first port 3111 or move out of the first conveying section 3113 from the first port 3111 in the Y direction.

[0083] Further explanation: The first conveying mechanism 1 includes a second conveying section 11, a third limiting section 12, a fourth limiting section 13, and a second guide section 14. The third limiting section 12 and the fourth limiting section 13 are spaced apart along the perpendicular direction of the conveying direction of the second conveying section 11. In the Y direction, the fourth limiting section 13 is closer to the translational conveying mechanism 3 than the third limiting section 12. One end of the second guide section 14 is connected to one end of the third limiting section 12, and the other end of the second guide section 14 and one end of the fourth limiting section 13 form the third port 15. Specifically, The second conveying section 11 is used to convey products along the conveying direction. In the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the second conveying section 11 is provided with a third limiting section 12 and a fourth limiting section 13 on both sides, which limit the products. One end of the second guide section 14 is connected to one end of the third limiting section 12, and the other end of the second guide section 14 is connected to one end of the fourth limiting section 13 to form a third port 15. The second guide section 14 can guide the products so that they can enter the second conveying section 11 from the third port 15 or move out of the second conveying section 11 in the Y direction.

[0084] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying member 311 further includes a third guide portion 3117, one end of which is connected to the other end of the first limiting portion 3114, and the other end of which forms the second port 3112 with the other end of the second limiting portion 3115. Specifically, one end of the third guide portion 3117 is connected to the other end of the first limiting portion 3114, and the other end of the third guide portion 3117 forms the second port 3112 with the first limiting portion 3115. The third guide portion 3117 can play a guiding role so that the product can enter the first conveying part 3113 from the second port 3112 or move out of the first conveying part 3113 from the second port 3112 in the Y direction.

[0085] Further explanation: The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a third conveying section 21, a fifth limiting section 22, a sixth limiting section 23, and a fourth guide section 24. The fifth limiting section 22 and the sixth limiting section 23 are arranged perpendicularly to each other along the conveying direction of the third conveying section 21. In the Y direction, the sixth limiting section 23 is closer to the translational conveying mechanism 3 than the fifth limiting section 22. One end of the fourth guide section 24 is connected to one end of the fifth limiting section 22, and the other end of the fourth guide section 24 forms the fourth port 25 with one end of the sixth limiting section 23. Specifically, the... The third conveying section 21 is used to convey products along the conveying direction. In the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the third conveying section 21 is provided with a fifth limiting section 22 and a sixth limiting section 23 on both sides, which limit the products. One end of the fourth guide section 24 is connected to one end of the fifth limiting section 22, and the other end of the fourth guide section 24 is connected to one end of the sixth limiting section 23 to form a fourth port 25. The fourth guide section 24 can guide the products so that they can enter the third conveying section 21 from the fourth port 25 or move out of the third conveying section 21 from the fourth port 25 in the Y direction.

[0086] In an alternative embodiment, the first guide portion 3116 is arc-shaped, and the second guide portion 14 is arc-shaped, so that the product can move smoothly between the first conveying portion 3113 and the second conveying portion 11.

[0087] In an alternative embodiment, the third guide portion 3117 is arc-shaped, and the fourth guide portion 24 is arc-shaped, so that the product can move smoothly between the first conveying portion 3113 and the third conveying portion 21.

[0088] In one optional embodiment, the drive assembly 32 includes a drive member, a gear, and a rack 323. The gear is located at the drive end of the drive member, and the rack 323 is located at the conveying assembly 31. The gear meshes with the rack 323. The gear is connected to the drive end of the drive member, and the conveying assembly 31 is slidably connected to the fixed frame along the X direction. The rack 323 is located at the conveying assembly 31 and meshes with the gear. The drive member drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear meshes with the rack 323, it can drive the rack 323 to move along the X direction, thereby driving the conveying assembly 31 to move along the X direction.

[0089] like Figure 11 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the translational conveying mechanism 3 further includes a guide component 33, and the conveying component 31 is slidably connected to the guide component 33. Specifically, the guide component 33 is mounted on a fixed support, and the conveying component 31 is slidably connected to the guide component 33. The conveying component 31 moves relative to the guide component 33 in the X direction, and the guide component 33 can provide guidance for the conveying component 31, thereby preventing the conveying component 31 from deviating during its movement in the X direction.

[0090] like Figure 9 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying system 100 further includes a positioning component 10, which is spaced apart from the second conveying mechanism 2 along the Y direction, and is also arranged with the translational conveying mechanism 3 along the X direction. The conveying component 31 connects the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, and is capable of abutting against the positioning component 10. Specifically, when the conveying component 31 moves from the first position to the second position, the driving component 32 drives the conveying component 31 to move along the X direction. When the conveying component 31 abuts against the positioning component 10, it indicates that the conveying component 31 has been connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2. This can be understood as the first port 3111 abutting against the third port 15, and the second port 3112 abutting against the fourth port 25. In this embodiment, the positioning component 10 can provide positioning for the conveying component 31, so as to quickly move the conveying component 31 into place.

[0091] like Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying system 100 includes a first blocking component 4, which is disposed on the first conveying mechanism 1 and close to the third port 15. Specifically, the first blocking component 4 is used to block products located on the first conveying mechanism 1 from being conveyed from the third port 15 to the translational conveying mechanism 3. During the conveying process, if there are too many products on the second conveying mechanism 2, the first blocking component 4 can be used to block the first conveying mechanism 1 from conveying products to the translational conveying mechanism 3 without stopping the first conveying mechanism 1, thereby improving the working efficiency of the conveying system 100. Alternatively, in the event of a safety accident, the first blocking component 4 can also be used to block the first conveying mechanism 1 from conveying products to the translational conveying mechanism 3.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, the first blocking component 4 includes a first driving part and a rotating member. The rotating member is located at the driving end of the first driving part, and the first driving part can drive the rotating member to rotate. When the rotating member rotates, the product can pass through; if the rotating member stops rotating, the product can be blocked from passing through. In another specific embodiment, the first blocking component 4 includes a second driving part and a blocking member. The blocking member is located at the driving end of the second driving part, and the second driving part can drive the blocking member to move along the Y direction. When the second driving part drives the blocking member to extend into the conveying channel of the first conveying mechanism 1, the product can be blocked from passing through. If the blocking member is located outside the conveying channel of the first conveying mechanism 1, the product can pass through.

[0093] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the conveying system 100 includes a second blocking component 5, which is disposed on the conveying member 311 and close to the second port 3112. Specifically, the second blocking component 5 is used to block products located on the translational conveying mechanism 3 from being conveyed from the second port 3112 to the second conveying mechanism 2. During the conveying process, if there are too many products on the second conveying mechanism 2, the second blocking component 5 can be used to block the translational conveying mechanism 3 from conveying products to the second conveying mechanism 2, without having to stop the first conveying mechanism 1 and the translational conveying mechanism 3, thereby improving the working efficiency of the conveying system 100. Alternatively, in the event of a safety accident, the second blocking component 5 can also be used to block the translational conveying mechanism 3 from conveying products to the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0094] The structure of the second blocking component 5 can be the same as that of the first blocking component 4.

[0095] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, a first detection component 6 is provided at the contact point between the first port 3111 and the third port 15; specifically, the first detection component 6 is used to detect whether there is a product at the first port 3111 and the third port 15; a second detection component 7 is provided at the contact point between the fourth port 25 and the second port 3112; the second detection component 7 is used to detect whether there is a product at the fourth port 25 and the second port 3112; when an installation accident occurs, after the first detection component 6 detects that there is no product at the first port 3111 and the third port 15, and after the second detection component 7 detects that there is no product at the second port 3112 and the fourth port 25, the drive component 32 then drives the conveying component 31 to move from the first position to the second position along the X direction, and the conveying component 31 avoids products from falling during the movement.

[0096] In an optional embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes two third ports 15, which are spaced apart along the Y direction; the second conveying mechanism 2 includes two fourth ports 25, which are spaced apart along the Y direction; the conveying assembly 31 includes two conveying members 311, which are spaced apart along the Y direction, wherein the first port 3111 and the second port 3112 of one conveying member 311 can respectively abut against the opposite third port 15 and the fourth port 25, and the first port 3111 and the second port 3112 of the other conveying member 311 can respectively abut against the opposite third port 15 and the fourth port 25; the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the translational conveying mechanism 3 can form a circular conveying line.

[0097] like Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes two third ports 15, namely a first input port 15b and a first output port 15a, which are spaced apart along the Y direction; the second conveying mechanism 2 includes two fourth ports 25, namely a second input port 25b and a second output port 25a, which are spaced apart along the Y direction; wherein, the first output port 15a and the second input port 25b are spaced apart along the X direction, and the first input port 15b and the second output port 25a are spaced apart along the X direction.

[0098] To further explain, the translational conveying mechanism 3 is located between the two third ports 15 and the two fourth ports 25 in the Y direction.

[0099] Further explanation: The conveying assembly 31 includes two conveying components 311, which are spaced apart along the Y direction. One component is near the first output port 15a and the second input port 25b, and the other component is near the first input port 15b and the second output port 25a. When the conveying assembly 31 is in the first position, the first port 3111 and the second port 3112 of one conveying component 311 abut against the first output port 15a and the second input port 25b, respectively, and the first port 3111 and the second port 3112 of the other conveying component 311 abut against the first input port 15b and the second output port 25a, respectively. This causes the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, and the translational conveying mechanism 3 to form a circular conveying line. In this embodiment, it is suitable for products used for carrier conveying. The product is placed on the carrier, and the circular conveying line is provided with a loading station and a unloading station. The product is placed on the carrier at the loading station and removed from the carrier at the unloading station. The empty carrier is moved to the loading station and the product is placed on the carrier again, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.

[0100] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 1 includes a first conveying section 1a, a second conveying section 1b, and a third conveying section 1c connected in sequence, wherein one of the third ports 15 is located in the first conveying section 1a, and the other third port 15 is located in the third conveying section 1c; specifically, the first conveying section 1a, the second conveying section 1b, and the third conveying section 1c each use a separate drive source, that is, the first conveying section 1a, the second conveying section 1b, and the third conveying section 1c can be controlled independently, the first conveying section 1a, the second conveying section 1b, and the third conveying section 1c are connected in sequence, and the two third ports 15 of the first conveying mechanism 1 are located in the first conveying section 1a and the third conveying section 1c, respectively.

[0101] Further explanation: the second conveying mechanism 2 includes a fourth conveying section 2a, a fifth conveying section 2b, and a sixth conveying section 2c connected in sequence, with one of the fourth ports 25 located in the fourth conveying section 2a and the other fourth port 25 located in the sixth conveying section 2c; specifically, the fourth conveying section 2a, the fifth conveying section 2b, and the sixth conveying section 2c each use a separate drive source, that is, the fourth conveying section 2a, the fifth conveying section 2b, and the sixth conveying section 2c can be controlled independently, and the fourth conveying section 2a, the fifth conveying section 2b, and the sixth conveying section 2c are connected in sequence, with the two fourth ports 25 of the second conveying mechanism 2 located in the fourth conveying section 2a and the sixth conveying section 2c respectively.

[0102] To further explain, the first conveying section 1a, the third conveying section 1c, the fourth conveying section 2a, the sixth conveying section 2c, and the translational conveying mechanism 3 can be connected to fire-fighting power, while the second conveying section 1b and the fifth conveying section 2b can be connected to industrial power. In the event of a safety accident, the second conveying section 1b and the fifth conveying section 2b connected to industrial power will stop working, while the first conveying section 1a, the third conveying section 1c, the fourth conveying section 2a, the sixth conveying section 2c, and the translational conveying mechanism 3 connected to fire-fighting power can continue to work.

[0103] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the fourth conveying section 2a is provided with a third detection component 8, which is used to detect whether there is a product in the fourth conveying section 2a. The third detection component 8 includes a first counter 81 and a second counter 82 arranged at intervals. The first counter 81 and the second counter 82 are located between a first buffer section. The first counter 81 and the second counter 82 are used to detect whether there is material in the first buffer section. If a product is detected in the first buffer section, the first blocking component 4 blocks the first conveying mechanism 1 from conveying the product to the translational conveying mechanism 3. In the event of a safety accident, the product located on the translational conveying mechanism 3 can be conveyed to the first buffer section, thereby ensuring that there is no product on the translational conveying mechanism 3. When the driving component 32 drives the conveying component 31 to move in the X direction, the problem of product falling will not occur.

[0104] The third detection component 8 can also be a proximity switch, photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0105] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the third conveying section 1c is provided with a fourth detection component 9; the fourth detection component 9 includes a third counter 91 and a fourth counter 92 arranged at intervals; the detection principle of the fourth detection component 9 is the same as that of the third detection component 8, and will not be described again here.

[0106] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a conveying method is provided, which can employ the conveying system 100 described above, the conveying method comprising:

[0107] S1. Place the product on the first conveying mechanism 1;

[0108] S2. The first conveying mechanism 1 conveys the product to the translation conveying mechanism 3, and the translation conveying mechanism 3 conveys the product to the second conveying mechanism 2.

[0109] S3. The second conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a first buffer section. When a product is detected in the first buffer section, the first conveying mechanism 1 stops conveying the product to the translation conveying mechanism 3; when no product is detected in the first buffer section, the first conveying mechanism 1 conveys the product to the translation conveying mechanism 3.

[0110] To further explain, the first conveying mechanism 1 is equipped with a loading station. The loading mechanism is located at the loading station. The product is placed on the first conveying mechanism 1 through the loading mechanism. The first conveying mechanism 1 transports the product to the translation conveying mechanism 3. The translation conveying mechanism 3 transports the product to the second conveying mechanism 2. The second conveying mechanism 2 is equipped with a first buffer section. When the first buffer section is detected to have a product, the first conveying mechanism 1 stops transporting the product to the translation conveying mechanism 3.

[0111] The first buffer segment can detect the presence of a product through the third detection component 8; and can restrict the first conveying mechanism 1 from conveying a product to the translational conveying mechanism 3 through the first blocking component 4.

[0112] In one optional embodiment, the conveying method further includes:

[0113] S5. The first conveying mechanism 1 stops conveying products to the translational conveying mechanism 3;

[0114] S6. The product located in the translational conveying mechanism 3 moves to the first buffer section;

[0115] S7. Drive component 32 drives conveyor component 31 to move along the X direction to avoid avoidance area 20.

[0116] In one optional embodiment, the conveying method is performed by a conveying system 100, which includes a first conveying mechanism 1, a second conveying mechanism 2, and a translational conveying mechanism 3. The first conveying mechanism 1 includes a first conveying section 1a, a second conveying section 1b, and a third conveying section 1c connected in sequence, with one first conveying end located at the first conveying section 1a and the other first conveying end located at the third conveying end. The second conveying mechanism 2 includes a fourth conveying section 2a, a fifth conveying section 2b, and a sixth conveying section 2c connected in sequence, with one second conveying end located at the fourth conveying section 2a and the other second conveying end located at the sixth conveying section 2c. The translational conveying mechanism 3, the first conveying section 1a, the third conveying section 1c, the fourth conveying section 2a, and the sixth conveying section 2c are connected to fire-fighting power supplies.

[0117] In an alternative implementation, during S5, the second conveying section 1b and the fifth conveying section 2b cease operation.

[0118] In one specific embodiment, taking a battery as an example, the second conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a feeding station, and a feeding mechanism is provided at the feeding station.

[0119] Specifically, when the conveying system 100 is operating normally, the carrier moves cyclically on the conveying loop. An empty carrier is at the loading station, where the loading mechanism places the battery into it. The first conveying mechanism 1 transports the battery and carrier together to the translational conveying mechanism 3, which then transports them to the second conveying mechanism 2. The battery and carrier move to the unloading station, where the unloading mechanism removes the battery, leaving only the empty carrier. The empty carrier then moves back to the loading mechanism via the conveying loop. During this process, the fourth conveying section 2a of the second conveying mechanism 2 is equipped with a first buffer section. When a battery is detected in the first buffer section, the first blocking component 4 restricts the first conveying mechanism 1 from transporting batteries to the translational conveying mechanism 3, ensuring sufficient buffer space for firefighting. The first buffer section can hold a greater number of batteries than the translational conveying mechanism 3 can hold.

[0120] In the event of a safety accident, the second transmission section 1b and the fifth transmission section 2b, which are connected to normal industrial power, will stop operating, while the first transmission section 1a, the third transmission section 1c, the fourth transmission section 2a, the sixth transmission section 2c, the first detection component 6, the second detection component 7, the third detection component 8, the fourth detection component 9, the first blocking component 4, and the second blocking component 5, which are connected to fire protection power, will continue to operate.

[0121] Specifically, the first blocking component 4 restricts the first conveying mechanism 1 from conveying batteries to the translational conveying mechanism 3. The translational conveying mechanism 3 conveys the batteries located on the translational conveying mechanism 3 to the first buffer section of the second conveying mechanism 2. The first detection component 6 detects whether there are still batteries at the first port 3111 and the third port 15. The second detection component 7 detects whether there are still batteries at the second port 3112 and the fourth port 25. When the first detection component 6 and the second detection component 7 detect that there are no batteries, the drive component 32 drives the conveying component 31 to move in the X direction to avoid the avoidance area 20. Then the roller shutter door is lowered to separate the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism 2, thereby achieving the function of isolating the production workshop.

[0122] When the safety incident is resolved and the conveying system 100 can work normally, the roller shutter door is retracted, the avoidance area 20 is released, the drive assembly 32 drives the conveying assembly 31 to move the rod in the X direction to reset, the positioning assembly 10 ensures that the position remains consistent during reset, the first blocking assembly 4 and the second blocking assembly 5 are released, the accumulated battery in the first buffer section is released, and the system can work normally in the next fire protection operation.

[0123] Among them, the first conveying section 1a and the fourth conveying section 2a are battery conveying sections, while the third conveying section 1c and the sixth conveying section 2c are empty vehicle conveying sections; the battery conveying section and the empty vehicle conveying section have the same working principle, but the conveying direction is opposite.

[0124] While specific embodiments of this application have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims.
