DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0032] At present, from the perspective of market development, the application of batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of battery application areas, its market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0033] Batteries mentioned in this field can be divided into disposable batteries and rechargeable batteries according to whether they are rechargeable. Disposable batteries (Primary Battery) are also called "disposable" batteries and original batteries, because after they are exhausted, they can no longer be recharged and can only be discarded. Rechargeable batteries are also called secondary batteries (Secondary Battery) or secondary batteries, storage batteries. The manufacturing materials and processes of rechargeable batteries are different from those of primary batteries. Its advantage is that it can be recycled many times after charging, and the output current load capacity of rechargeable batteries is higher than that of most disposable batteries. The common types of rechargeable batteries at present are: lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of light weight, large capacity (the capacity is 1.5 to 2 times that of nickel-metal hydride batteries of the same weight), no memory effect, and have a very low self-discharge rate. Therefore, even though the price is relatively high, they are still widely used. Lithium-ion batteries are currently also widely used in pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. The capacity of lithium-ion batteries used for this purpose is relatively low, but they have a larger output and charging current, and also have a longer service life, but the cost is higher.

[0034] During the production and manufacturing of batteries, the batteries can be placed in a carrier such as a tray, and the batteries can be temporarily stored on a carrier platform through the tray. In related technologies, an additional dispatching robot is set up to pick up and place the load. However, the dispatching robot has a long dispatching line, which causes the dispatching robot to pick up and place the load in time, thereby reducing the overall processing efficiency.

[0035] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the related technologies, the present application provides a transfer system, which includes a transfer mechanism and a carrier. The transfer mechanism includes a fixed base, a load-bearing platform and a transfer device. The load-bearing platform can be used to carry the carrier. When the carrier contains specific objects such as batteries, it is convenient for other equipment to quickly process the specific objects in the carrier. The transfer device slides on the fixed base to transfer the carrier on a certain load platform to another load platform through the transfer device. Since the transfer device and the load platform are both installed on the fixed base, the transfer device can transfer the carrier more efficiently, improve the transfer efficiency of the carrier, and thus improve the overall work efficiency.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transfer system according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0037] The transfer system 1 includes a carrier 20 and a transfer mechanism 10. The carrier 20 may be an empty tray, and the carrier 20 may be used to carry battery cells. The transfer system 1 may be used for the production of battery cells. For example, the transfer system 1 may be used in the baking manufacturing process of battery cells. In the baking manufacturing process of battery cells, the transfer mechanism 10 is used to carry the carrier 20. The battery cells are placed in the carrier 20, and the battery cells can be taken out of the carrier 20 by other equipment to process the battery cells. The transfer mechanism 10 may be used to carry the carrier 20, and the transfer mechanism 10 may also transfer the position of the carrier 20 by itself.

[0038] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transfer mechanism according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0039] The transfer mechanism 10 includes a fixed base 300, multiple groups of carrying platforms 100 and a transfer device 200. Each group of carrying platforms 100 is respectively installed on the fixed base 300, and the carrying platform 100 is used to carry the load object 20; the transfer device 200 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300, and the transfer device 200 is used to move between the multiple groups of carrying platforms 100 to transfer the load object 20 carried by one group of carrying platforms 100 to another group of carrying platforms 100.

[0040] The fixed base 300 may be plate-shaped and may be fixed on the ground. The carrying platform 100 may be installed on the same side of the fixed base 300, the carrying platform 100 protrudes from the fixed base 300, the carrying platform 100 may be used to carry the object 20, the carrying platform 100 may be fixedly connected to the fixed base 300, or the carrying platform 100 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 300, etc. There may be multiple carrying platforms 100, for example, the number of carrying platforms 100 may be two, three, four, etc., and multiple carrying platforms 100 may be arranged in sequence and spaced apart in the same direction, or multiple carrying platforms 100 may be arranged in a disorderly manner on the fixed base 300. The transferring device 200 can be installed on the same side of the fixed base 300 as the carrying platform 100, and the transferring device 200 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300. For example, the transferring device 200 can be moved to the position of any carrying platform 100. When it is necessary to transfer the load object 20 carried by one group of carrying platforms 100 to another group of carrying platforms 100, the transferring device 200 can first move to the position of one group of carrying platforms 100, and take the load object 20 from the carrying platform 100 by the transferring device 200. The transferring device 200 then carries the load object 20 to the position of another group of carrying platforms 100, and places the carried load object 20 on the group of carrying platforms 100, so as to achieve the purpose of transferring the load object 20 carried by one group of carrying platforms 100 to another group of carrying platforms 100.

[0041] Through the above-mentioned embodiment, multiple groups of carrying platforms 100 and transferring devices 200 are all arranged on the fixed base 300, and the transferring device 200 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300, which can facilitate the rapid transfer of the objects 20 on the multiple groups of carrying platforms 100 through the transferring device 200, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of the objects 20 and further improving the overall work efficiency.

[0042] In some embodiments, the carrying platform 100 includes two carrying assemblies 110, which are spaced apart in the first direction X. The space between the two carrying assemblies 110 of each group of carrying platforms 100 is sequentially connected to form a moving channel 400 extending along the second direction Y. The transfer device 200 is used to move in the moving channel 400, wherein the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. A plurality of carrying platforms 100 may be arranged sequentially along the second direction Y. When the carrying platform 100 includes two carrying assemblies 110 spaced apart in the first direction X, the space between the two carrying assemblies 110 of each group of carrying platforms 100 may be sequentially connected to form a moving channel 400. When the transfer device 200 moves in the moving channel 400, the transfer device 200 can move to each carrying platform 100 in a shorter distance. The moving channel 400 is formed by sequentially connecting the space between the two carrying assemblies 110. It is also convenient for the transfer device 200 to transfer the objects 20 on the plurality of carrying platforms 100 to each other, thereby improving the object transfer efficiency.

[0043] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a transfer device and a group of carrying platforms according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0044] The bearing assembly 110 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300, and the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 move relative to each other in the first direction X to a bearing position for bearing the load object 20, or move away from each other in the first direction X to leave the load position; the transfer device 200 includes a load lifting platform 210, which can move along a third direction Z, and by cooperating with the two bearing assemblies 110, the load objects 20 carried by one group of load platforms 100 can be transferred to another group of load platforms 100, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0045] Each bearing assembly 110 can be slidably connected relative to the fixed base 300 in the first direction X, and the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 are arranged at a relative interval in the first direction X, so that the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 can move relative to each other or move away from each other in the first direction X. When the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 move relative to each other in the first direction X to get closer to each other, the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 can be located at the bearing position, and the two bearing assemblies 110 located at the bearing position can be used to carry the same object 20 at the same time. The bearing position can be understood as: the spacing between the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 is sufficient to allow the object 20 to be carried on the two bearing assemblies 110 at the same time. When the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 move away from each other in the first direction X, the two bearing assemblies 110 of the same bearing platform 100 can be separated from the bearing position, thereby keeping the spacing between the two bearing assemblies 110 such that the object 20 cannot be carried between the two bearing assemblies 110 at the same time.

[0046] The loading and unloading platform 210 moves along the third direction Z, that is, the loading and unloading platform 210 can approach or move away from the fixed base 300 in the third direction Z. The loading and unloading platform 210 and each bearing assembly 110 are independent of each other. When it is necessary to take the loaded object 20 from the carrying platform 100 by the transfer device 200, the loading and unloading platform 210 can cooperate with the two bearing assemblies 110 of the carrying platform 100 to move, and then transfer the loaded object 20 on the carrying platform 100 to the loading and unloading platform 210; when it is necessary to transfer the loaded object 20 to the carrying platform 100 by the transfer device 200, the transfer device 200 can move to the corresponding position of the carrying platform 100, and then the loading and unloading platform 210 can cooperate with the two bearing assemblies 110 of the carrying platform 100 to move, and then transfer the loaded object 20 on the loading and unloading platform 210 to the carrying platform 100. Thus, the two supporting components 110 move in the first direction X and cooperate with the load-carrying lifting platform 210 to move in the third direction Z, thereby realizing the transfer of the load objects 20 carried by one group of supporting platforms 100 to another group of supporting platforms 100, so as to realize the transfer of the load objects 20 in a simple manner, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the transfer of the load objects 20.

[0047] Further, when the two bearing components 110 are in the bearing position to bear the object 20, the object lifting platform 210 rises along the third direction Z to the first position so that the object 20 is carried on the object lifting platform 210; when the two bearing components 110 are out of the bearing position, the object lifting platform 210 drives the object 20 to descend along the third direction Z to the second position. The second position is closer to the fixed base 300 in the third direction Z than the first position. When the two bearing components 110 bear the object 20, and the object 20 on the bearing platform 100 needs to be transferred to another bearing platform 100 by the transfer device 200, the transfer device 200 first moves between the two bearing components 110 of the group of bearing platforms 100, the object lifting platform 210 rises along the third direction Z until the object lifting platform 210 contacts the object 20 on the bearing component 110, and the object lifting platform 210 continues to rise along the third direction Z to the first position so that the object 20 is completely carried on the object lifting platform 210. On the platform 210, the object 20 is separated from the two carrying components 110, and the two carrying components 110 can move in opposite directions along the first direction X to leave the carrying position. The object lifting platform 210 drives the object 20 to descend to the second position along the third direction Z, and then the object 20 is completely carried on the transfer component, and it can also alleviate the interference between the transfer component and the carrying platform 100 during the process of carrying the object 20, so as to realize the transfer of the object 20 in a simple way, and improve the convenience and efficiency of the transfer of the object 20.

[0048] Furthermore, when the two carrying components 110 are out of the carrying position and the loading lifting platform 210 is carrying the loading object 20, the loading lifting platform 210 rises to the first position along the third direction Z; when the loading lifting platform 210 rises to the first position along the third direction Z, the two carrying components 110 move to the carrying position along the first direction X, and the loading lifting platform 210 descends to the second position, so that the loading object 20 is carried on the two carrying components 110. When a group of carrying platforms 100 does not carry the load 20, the transfer device 200 can carry the load 20 and move it between the two load components 110 of the group of carrying platforms 100. Since the two load components 110 of the group of carrying platforms 100 are in a state of being out of the load position, the load lifting platform 210 can carry the load 20 to rise to the first position along the third direction Z, so that the load 20 is located on the side of the two load components 110 away from the fixed base 300 in the third direction Z. The two load components 110 move relatively to the load position along the first direction X, and the load lifting platform 210 carries the load 20 and descends along the third direction Z. During the descent, the load 20 first contacts the two load components 110, and the load lifting platform 210 continues to descend along the third direction Z to the second position, so that the load 20 is completely carried on the carrying platform 100, thereby realizing the transfer of the load 20 in a simple manner, and improving the convenience and efficiency of the transfer of the load 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the carrying platform 100 includes two sliding assemblies 120, one carrying assembly 110 corresponds to one sliding assembly 120, the sliding assembly 120 includes a first slide rail 121 and a first cylinder 122 arranged along the second direction Y, the first slide rail 121 and the first cylinder 122 are extended along the first direction X, and the carrying assembly 110 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300 through the first slide rail 121 and the first cylinder 122. Each carrying platform 100 includes two sliding assemblies 120 and two carrying assemblies 110, and one carrying assembly 110 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300 through one sliding assembly 120. Specifically, each sliding assembly 120 includes a first slide rail 121 and a first cylinder 122, and the first slide rail 121 and the first cylinder 122 are extended along the first direction X. The bearing assembly 110 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300 through the first slide rail 121 and the first cylinder 122. When the bearing assembly 110 needs to move along the first direction X, the first cylinder 122 can provide the bearing assembly 110 with a thrust to move along the first direction X, so as to cooperate with the first slide rail 121 to move the bearing assembly 110 along the first direction X. Among them, the number of the first slide rails 121 of the same sliding assembly 120 can be multiple, and the multiple first slide rails 121 are respectively arranged along the second direction Y. For example, the number of the first slide rails 121 is four, and the four first slide rails 121 and the first cylinder 122 are respectively arranged along the second direction Y, and the first cylinder 122 is located in the middle of the four first slide rails 121 in the second direction Y.

[0050] Furthermore, the sliding assembly 120 further includes two limit blocks 130, which are spaced apart in the first direction X and fixed to the fixed base 300, and the two limit blocks 130 are used to limit the bearing assembly 110 in the first direction X. The bearing assembly 110 is located between the two limit blocks 130 in the first direction X. When the bearing assembly 110 slides in the first direction X, the bearing assembly 110 can be limited from both ends in the first direction X by the two limit blocks 130, which can alleviate the risk of the receiving assembly being derailed due to excessive movement.

[0051] In some embodiments, the bearing assembly 110 includes a support column 111, and the end surface of the support column 111 away from the fixed base 300 is used to bear the load 20. The end surface of the support column 111 away from the fixed base 300 is provided with a positioning pin 112 for positioning the load 20 and / or a stop bar 113 for limiting the load 20. The end surface of the support column 111 away from the fixed base 300 is used to bear the load 20, and the load 20 can be directly placed on the support column 111, simplifying the bearing method of the load platform 100 for the load 20. At the same time, the end surface is also provided with a positioning pin 112 and / or a stop bar 113 for limiting the load 20. The positioning pin 112 can be columnar, and the positioning pin 112 can be used to position the load 20, so that the load 20 is carried on the load platform 100 at a specific angle. The stop bar 113 can be used to limit the load object 20 from the periphery. When the load object is carried on two opposite support columns 111, the stop bar 113 on the two support columns 111 can be used to limit the load object 20 in the first direction X, so that the stability of the load object 20 can be improved by the positioning pin 112 and / or the stop bar 113, thereby reducing the risk of the load object 20 accidentally detaching from the carrying platform 100.

[0052] Furthermore, the number of the support columns 111 of the bearing assembly 110 is two, and the bearing assembly 110 further includes a support plate 115, and the two support columns 111 are arranged on the support plate 115 at intervals in the second direction Y. The number of the support columns 111 of the same bearing assembly 110 is two, and the support columns 111 of the two bearing assemblies 110 are both installed on the support plate 115. When the bearing platform 100 needs to carry the object 20, the four support columns 111 of the two bearing assemblies 110 simultaneously carry the object 20, thereby further improving the stability of the carrying of the object 20 and alleviating the risk of the object 20 accidentally leaving the bearing platform 100.

[0053] Furthermore, the support column 111 is provided with an avoidance groove 114, and the notch of the avoidance groove 114 faces the other support column 111 in the first direction X. The notch of the avoidance groove 114 faces the other support column 111 in the first direction X. When the transfer device 200 carries the load 20 to move in the second direction Y, the avoidance groove 114 can alleviate the risk of collision between the load 20 and the support column 111. The shape of the avoidance groove 114 can be arbitrary, as long as it can meet the requirement that the load 20 does not interfere with the support column 111 during the process of the transfer device 200 carrying the load 20.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a transfer device according to one or more embodiments of the present application.

[0055] The transfer device 200 further includes a transfer bottom plate 220 and a fixed side plate 230. The transfer bottom plate 220 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300. The fixed side plate 230 is fixed to the transfer bottom plate 220. The object lifting platform 210 is slidably connected to the fixed side plate 230, so that the object lifting platform 210 can move along the third direction Z. The transfer bottom plate 220 is slidably connected to the fixed base 300. The fixed side plate 230 is fixed to the transfer bottom plate 220. The object lifting platform 210 is slidably connected to the fixed side plate 230. When the transfer bottom plate 220 slides relative to the fixed base 300, the fixed side plate 230 and the object lifting platform 210 can be driven by the transfer bottom plate 220 to slide relative to the fixed base 300. The fixed side plate 230 can be perpendicular to the transfer bottom plate 220, and the object lifting platform 210 is slidably connected to the fixed side plate 230, and the fixed side plate 230 can improve the stability and convenience of the object lifting platform 210 when moving in the third direction Z.

[0056] Furthermore, the transfer device 200 further includes a second slide rail 250 and a second cylinder 260 extending along the third direction Z, and the object lifting platform 210 is slidably connected to the fixed side plate 230 through the second slide rail 250 and the second cylinder 260. The second slide rail 250 and the second cylinder 260 can be arranged along the first direction X. When the object lifting platform 210 needs to move along the third direction Z, the second cylinder 260 can provide a thrust for moving along the third direction Z to the object lifting platform 210, so as to cooperate with the second slide rail 250 to move the object lifting platform 210 along the third direction Z. The number of the second slide rails 250 can be multiple, and the multiple second slide rails 250 are respectively arranged along the first direction X. For example, the number of the second slide rails 250 is two, and the two second slide rails 250 and the second cylinder 260 are respectively arranged along the first direction X, and the second cylinder 260 is located in the middle of the two second slide rails 250 in the first direction X. Therefore, the second slide rail 250 and the second cylinder 260 cooperate to connect the object lifting platform 210 to the fixed side plate 230, thereby improving the stability and convenience of the object lifting platform 210 when moving in the third direction Z.

[0057] In some embodiments, the transfer device 200 further includes a carrier platform 240 for carrying the load object 20, the carrier platform 240 is fixed on the transfer base plate 220, and the carrier lifting platform 210 moves along the third direction Z to place the load object 20 on the carrier platform 240 or to separate the load object 20 from the carrier platform 240. The carrier platform 240 is fixedly arranged on the transfer base plate 220, and after the load object 20 is carried from the transfer platform by the carrier lifting platform 210, the carrier lifting platform 210 descends along the third direction Z, and during the descending process, the load object 20 is brought into contact with the carrier platform 240, so that the load object 20 is carried by the carrier platform 240. When the transfer device 200 is needed to transfer the load object 20 to another load platform 100, the load lifting platform 210 can be raised along the third direction Z, so that the load object 20 on the load carrying platform 240 is carried on the load lifting platform 210, and during the rising process of the load lifting platform 210, the load object 20 and the load carrying platform 240 are gradually separated.

[0058] Furthermore, there are two fixed side panels 230 and two cargo lifting platforms 210 , and the two fixed side panels 230 are arranged at intervals. One cargo lifting platform 210 corresponds to one fixed side panel 230 , and each cargo lifting platform 210 is slidably connected to its corresponding fixed side panel 230 , and the cargo carrying platform 240 is located between the two cargo lifting platforms 210 . There are two fixed side panels 230, which are opposite to each other and spaced apart. There are two loading and unloading platforms 210, which are slidably connected to each other. The two loading and unloading platforms 210 are opposite to each other, and the loading platform 240 is located between the two loading and unloading platforms 210. The two loading and unloading platforms 210 can move synchronously in the third direction Z, so that the two loading and unloading platforms 210 can cooperate to lift the loading object 20, so that the loading objects 20 carried by one group of loading platforms 100 can be easily transferred to another group of loading platforms 100 through the two loading and unloading platforms 210, thereby improving the stability of the loading objects 20 during transfer.

[0059] Further, the object carrying platform 240 is provided with a matching hole 241 for matching the object 20, and / or the end surface of the object carrying platform 240 away from the fixed base 300 is provided with a first positioning bar 242 for positioning the object 20. The matching hole 241 can be a through hole or a round hole, and the shape of the matching hole 241 can be set according to actual conditions. The matching hole 241 can be used to match with the components on the object 20, so that the object 20 can be stably placed on the object carrying platform 240. The first positioning bar 242 can be located on the side of the object carrying platform 240, and the number of the first positioning bars 242 can be multiple, and the first positioning bars 242 can be used to install and position the object 20. Therefore, the matching hole 241 and / or the first positioning bar 242 for positioning the object 20 can improve the stability of the carrying of the object 20, and reduce the risk of the object 20 accidentally leaving the transfer device 200.

[0060] In some embodiments, the end surface of the object lifting platform 210 facing away from the fixed base 300 is provided with a second positioning bar 211 for positioning the object 20. The number of the second positioning bars 211 can be one or more, and the second positioning bars 211 can improve the stability of the object 20 carried by the object lifting platform 210, thereby reducing the risk of the object 20 accidentally leaving the object lifting platform 210.

[0061] In some embodiments, the transfer device 200 further includes a position detection element 270 and a signal triggering piece 280. The signal triggering piece 280 is disposed on the loading and unloading platform 210, and the position detection element 270 is disposed on the fixed side plate 230. The position detection element 270 and the signal triggering piece 280 are used to cooperate in detecting the lifting position of the loading and unloading platform 210. The number of the position detection elements 270 can be multiple, and multiple position detection elements 270 can be arranged on the fixed side plate 230 at intervals along the third direction Z. The signal triggering piece 280 is fixedly arranged on the loading and unloading platform 210. When the loading and unloading platform 210 moves along the third direction Z, the signal triggering piece 280 can contact the position detection elements 270 at different positions, thereby detecting the position of the loading and unloading platform 210. For example, multiple position detection elements 270 can be respectively installed at the extreme positions at both ends in the third direction Z, and other positions in the middle that need to be marked. Therefore, by cooperating to detect the lifting position of the loading lifting platform 210 through the position detection element 270 and the signal trigger piece 280, the loading object 20 can be accurately lifted by the loading lifting platform 210, thereby improving the degree of automation of the transfer of the loading object 20 and the accuracy of the movement of the loading lifting platform 210.

[0062] In some embodiments, the transfer device 200 also includes a third slide rail 291, a rack 293, a gear 292 and a driving member 294. The third slide rail 291 and the rack 293 extend along the second direction Y. The transfer base plate 220 is connected to the fixed base 300 through the third slide rail 291 and the rack 293. The gear 292 is respectively connected to the driving member 294 and the rack 293. The driving member 294 is fixedly connected to the transfer base plate 220. The driving member 294 is used to drive the gear 292 to rotate to cooperate with the rack 293 and the third slide rail 291 to drive the transfer base plate 220 to move along the second direction Y. The rack 293 and the third slide rail 291 are fixedly mounted on the transfer base plate 220, and the transfer base plate 220 is connected to the third slide rail 291. The driving member 294 can be a translation servo motor, and the driving member 294 is fixedly mounted on the transfer base plate 220. The output end of the driving member 294 can be connected to the gear 292, and the gear 292 is meshed with the rack 293. When it is necessary to move the transfer device 200 along the second direction Y, the driving member 294 can drive the gear 292 to rotate, and the gear 292 applies a driving force to move along the second direction Y to the transfer base plate 220 under the cooperation of the rack 293, and moves the transfer base plate 220 along the second direction Y under the cooperation of the third slide rail 291. Among them, the number of the third slide rails 291 can be multiple, and the third slide rails 291 and the rack 293 can be arranged in sequence along the first direction X. For example, the number of the third slide rails 291 is two, and the rack 293 is located between the two third slide rails 291 in the first direction X. Therefore, the third slide rail 291, the driving member 294, the gear 292 and the rack 293 cooperate to drive the transfer base 220 to move along the second direction Y, so as to accurately control the movement of the transfer device 200 in the second direction Y, while also improving the stability and convenience of the transfer device 200 when moving in the second direction Y.
