In a state where the taking and placing unit 300 is connected to the carrying unit 100, the conveying unit 200 conveys the carrying unit 100 along the first direction to the station through the taking and placing unit 300. In a state where the carrying unit 100 has been moved to the target station by the taking and placing unit 300, the taking and placing unit 300 is disconnected from the carrying unit 100, so as to place the tool 410 on the carrying unit 100 at the target station. Thus, the purpose of carrying the tool 410 between different stations is achieved.
[0071] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The number of the carrying units 100 is plural. The plurality of carrying units 100 are arranged along the first direction at the plurality of stations.
[0072] The plurality of carrying units 100 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of stations.
[0073] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the carrying unit 100 includes a conveying part and a lifting part 120.
[0074] The tooling 410 is placed on the conveying part.
[0075] In a state where the tooling 410 is placed on the carrying unit 100, the conveying part is used to convey the tooling 410. The lifting part 120 is used to drive the lifting of the conveying part.
[0076] The conveying part conveys the tooling 410 along a horizontal direction. The lifting part 120 is used to convey the tooling 410 along a vertical direction.
[0077] When the tooling 410 is placed at one end of the conveying part, the conveying part can convey the tooling 410 along a horizontal direction, so that the tooling 410 is completely conveyed onto the carrying unit 100. In this state, the lifting part 120 lifts the tooling 410 to a target position, i.e., to the working position of the taking and placing unit 300.
[0078] Specifically, the conveying part is arranged to extend along a first direction. The conveying part is used to convey the tooling 410 along the first direction within a range of workstations.
[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , the conveying part includes a conveying belt 111. The number of conveying parts is two. The two conveying belts 111 are arranged to extend along the first direction and are spaced apart.
[0080] The two conveying belts 111 are respectively supported on both sides of the tooling 410 along a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , the number of lifting parts 120 is two. Both of the two lifting parts 120 are arranged to extend along the first direction.
[0082] Specifically, the lifting part 120 includes a lifting driving component 121 and a roller support part 122. The lifting driving component 121 drives the lifting of the roller support part 122. The roller support part 122 is used to rollingly support the tooling 410.

[0084] Specifically, the roller support part 122 includes a roller support part body 1221 and universal rollers 1222 which are rollingly arranged on the roller support part body 1221.
[0085] The lifting driving component 121 can be a cylinder. The power output direction of the cylinder is arranged along the vertical direction. Thus, the roller support part 122 can be driven to move along the vertical direction.
[0086] Specifically, the number of the lifting driving components 121 is two. The two lifting driving components 121 are respectively connected at the two ends of the roller support part body 1221.
[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, during the conveying of the tooling 410 by the conveying part, the height of the lifting part 120 is lower than the conveying part. When the tooling 410 is completely conveyed to the bearing unit 100 by the conveying part, the height of the lifting part 120 is raised until it contacts the tooling 410. The lifting part 120 continues to move along the vertical direction until the tooling 410 moves to the target working position height of the taking and placing unit 300, and stops rising. The taking and placing unit 300 takes the tooling 410. Thus, the tooling 410 is conveyed to the working position of the taking and placing unit 300 by the conveying part and the lifting part 120.

Therefore, the number of limiting parts 130 can be selected as two, and the two limiting parts 130 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the carrying unit 100 along the first direction, for limiting the tooling 410.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting execution part 1312 is connected with the output end of the first limiting driving part 1311.
[0095] The first limiting execution part 1312 includes a part extending along the vertical direction, thereby limiting the two end parts of the tooling 410 along the first direction.
[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to adapt to toolings 410 of different sizes, the two first limiting parts 131 can be relatively moved.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 , a measuring part 133 and a first limiting support seat 1313 are further included.

Correspondingly, a fork hole is formed at a corresponding position on the tooling 410. The fork 311 is inserted into the fork hole to realize the insertion of the taking and placing component 310 with the tooling 410. Thus, the fork 311 drives the tooling 410 to move.
[0109] Specifically, the specific structure of the taking and placing component 310 is not limited.
[0110] The driving component 320 can be a pneumatic cylinder. The fixed end of the driving component 320 is arranged on the conveying unit 200, and the output end of the driving component 320 is connected with the taking and placing component 310. Thus, the driving component 320 drives the taking and placing component 310 to move relative to the tooling 410.
[0111] The guide assembly 330 is arranged in the same direction as the power output direction of the driving component 320. The guide assembly 330 is used for guiding during the movement of the taking and placing component 310 driven by the driving component 320.

[0118] Specifically, the conveying unit 200 can adopt a lead screw module structure. The specific structural form of the conveying unit 200 is not limited.
[0119] By arranging the bearing unit 100 for supporting the tooling 410, the taking and placing unit 300 is configured to take or place the bearing unit 100, and the conveying unit 200 is configured to convey the taking and placing unit 300 to move along the first direction. In the state that the taking and placing unit 300 is connected with the bearing unit 100, the conveying unit 200 drives the bearing unit 100 to move between the workstations through the taking and placing unit 300. In the state that the bearing unit 100 moves to the target workstation, the taking and placing unit 300 cancels the connection with the bearing unit 100, so as to carry the tooling on the production line and realize the transfer between different works.
