For example, the number of the carrier plates 310 is three layers, the carrier plates 310 of the second layer are arranged above the carrier plates 310 of the first layer, and the carrier plates 310 of the third layer are arranged above the carrier plates 310 of the second layer. Among the three layers of carrier plates 310, only the carrier plates 310 of the second layer are connected to the sliding drive 330. The carrier plates 310 of the first layer and the carrier plates 310 of the third layer are offset from each other in the horizontal direction. The carrier plates 310 of the second layer can be moved to the top of the carrier plates 310 of the first layer under the drive of the sliding drive 330 as needed, so as to facilitate the removal of objects on the carrier plates 310 of the second layer. Target product, or move to the bottom of the third layer of carrier plate 310 to avoid the target product placement space of the first layer of carrier plate 310; for example, the second layer of carrier plate 310 and the third layer of carrier plate 310 are both connected to corresponding sliding drive members 330, and can be moved horizontally within their respective installation planes under the drive of the corresponding sliding drive members 330, thereby staggering with the carrier plates 310 of the adjacent layers to expose the next layer of carrier plate 310, thereby facilitating the gantry picking mechanism 500 to place or grab the target product, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization of the silo mechanism 300.
