The second positioning member is configured to detect whether the mobile device has moved to the power-off position and transmit a corresponding signal to the controller. The controller controls the mobile device to power off when it has moved to the power-off position based on the received signal. The buffer member is configured to limit the position of the mobile device after power is off, that is, the mobile device stops after light contact with the buffer member. At this time, the anchor shaft 11 is aligned with the anchor sleeve 12.
[0033] When anchoring is required, the push rod mechanism 8 pushes the anchor shaft 11 downward into the anchor sleeve 12, and the mobile device completes the automatic anchoring work. When the mobile device needs to move, the push rod mechanism 8 first lifts the anchor shaft 11 out of the anchor sleeve 12, and the mobile device's travel power unit then provides power, and the mobile device can move in another direction.

The travel switch 3 and the touch scale 4 work together to detect whether the mobile device has reached the power-off position. If so, the travel switch 3 sends a signal to the controller, which in turn deenergizes the mobile device's travel power unit.
[0037] The buffer may include a buffer positioning seat 7 fixed to the track 9. After the mobile device is decelerated and powered off, it comes into contact with the buffer positioning seat 7 and stops.

Through the cooperation of the travel switch 3 and the touch ruler 4, it can be detected whether the mobile device has moved to the power-off position, and the controller controls the power off of the travel power unit of the mobile device that has moved to the power-off position.
[0041] The buffer member includes a buffer positioning seat 7, which is arranged on a track 9. The buffer positioning seat 7 is also provided with a buffer block on the side of the mobile device. The buffer block can be made of rubber with a small deformation amount, so that the buffer member can limit the position of the mobile device after power failure.

The outside refers to the side away from the center line. Specifically, the sensing plate 2 is set at the deceleration position, and the touch ruler 4 is set at the power-off position. The deceleration position and the power-off position can be obtained through experiments based on actual on-site conditions.
[0045] Furthermore, in order to better adjust the impact force when the stopper 6 contacts the buffer positioning seat 7, the travel switch 3 can be installed on the mobile device through the adjustment frame 5.

The proximity switch 1, travel switch 3, push rod mechanism 8, and controller all utilize conventional technology in the art, or can be purchased directly from external sources. This embodiment does not modify these technologies. The connection method for the proximity switch 1, travel switch 3, push rod mechanism 8, and controller utilizes conventional technology in the art, and this embodiment does not modify these technologies.
[0049] During operation, the mobile device runs along the track 9. When the mobile device needs to dock at the end of the track 9 and anchor, the mobile device runs toward the end of the track 9. When the mobile device is about to approach the end, the proximity switch 1 also moves to the top of the sensor plate 2. At this time, the sensor plate 2 feeds back the detected signal to the controller of the mobile device. After receiving the signal, the controller issues an instruction and significantly reduces the running speed of the mobile device. The mobile device continues to run toward the end. When the travel switch 3 on the mobile device touches the touch scale 4, the mobile device's travel power unit is powered off. The mobile device can only continue to slide toward the end of the track 9 by inertia. When the stop seat 6 contacts the buffer positioning seat 7, the mobile device stops. At this time, the push rod mechanism 8 pushes the anchor shaft 11 downward into the anchor sleeve 12, and the mobile device completes the automatic anchoring work. When the mobile device needs to move, the push rod mechanism 8 first lifts the anchor shaft 11 out of the anchor sleeve 12, and the mobile device's travel power unit then provides power, and the mobile device can move in the other direction.
