Each positioning part includes an avoidance notch, an elastic part installed in the avoidance notch, and a pair of positioning grooves arranged along a second direction. The upper ends of the positioning grooves are open. The end of the elastic part is inclined on the first side along the first direction to position the strip-shaped part located in the positioning groove by relying on its own elastic force;

[0010] The unlocking mechanism is arranged on the bearing platform and is located below the sub-basket to be unlocked. The unlocking mechanism includes a first driving member and a plurality of unlocking members. The plurality of unlocking members and the plurality of elastic members are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. The fixed end of the first driving member is installed on the bearing platform, and the driving end of the first driving member is connected to the plurality of unlocking members. The first driving member is configured to drive the plurality of unlocking members to lift synchronously. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction;

[0011] The first driving member drives the plurality of unlocking members to synchronously pass through the corresponding avoidance notches and then rise to a preset position, so that the unlocking members abut against the corresponding elastic members and push the elastic members to move along the second side of the first direction to implement unlocking.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes two groups of shaping components. The two groups of shaping components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bearing platform along the second direction. Each group of shaping components includes a second driving member and a first shaping member. The driving end of the second driving member is connected to the first shaping member. The second driving member is configured to drive the first shaping member to move horizontally and vertically;
