The structure comprises an incoming structure 7 and an outgoing structure 2, the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 are located on opposite sides of the width direction of the loop rail 10, the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 are supported on a support 9, and the support 9 sets the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 high. The incoming structure 7 is used to receive the carrier 3 on the loop rail 10, and the outgoing structure 2 is used to guide the carrier 3 onto the loop rail 10. The main structure of the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 each comprises a curved guide rail, an active incoming swing head 71 is arranged at the end of the incoming structure 7 towards the loop rail 10, before the target carrier 3 needs to realize the fast switching position and advances to the position of the incoming structure 7, the incoming swing head 71 is overlapped with the loop rail 10, the target carrier 3 enters the guide rail, and then the incoming swing head 71 retracts to clear the position to supply other normally advancing carriers 3; a reset swing rod 21 is arranged at the end of the outgoing structure 2 towards the loop rail 10, and when the carrier 3 needs to enter the loop rail 10, it will smoothly enter the loop rail 10 through the swing rod 21.

[0019] A transition mechanism is arranged between the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 to realize the conveying of the carrier 3 from the incoming structure 7 to the outgoing structure 2. As shown in the figure, the transition mechanism is a closed-loop conveying chain 4, the conveying chain 4 is arranged in a curved shape, and the two ends of the conveying chain 4 are overlapped on a chain wheel 1 respectively, one of the chain wheels 1 is in transmission connection with a driving motor, and under the driving of the motor, the conveying chain 4 realizes movement. The conveying chain 4 comprises a plurality of plate-type chain links 44 connected together, and a plurality of clamping openings 45 for clamping the hanging parts of the carriers 3 are formed on the conveying chain 4. The two ends of the conveying chain 4 are connected with the incoming structure 7 and the outgoing structure 2 respectively, the inlet end of the conveying chain 4 is connected with the outlet end of the guide rail of the incoming structure 7, and the hanging part on the carrier 3 falls into the clamping opening 45 from the outlet end. Under the action of the motor, the conveying chain 4 is used to convey the carrier 3 coming from the incoming structure 7 to the outgoing structure 2. At the outlet end of the conveying chain 4, the hanging part on the carrier 3 is separated from the clamping opening 45 and enters the inlet end of the guide rail in the outgoing structure 2.

[0020] The conveying chain 4 passes through the lower side of the loop track 10, which makes the arrangement convenient and enables effective use of space. As shown in the figure, the entrance end of the guide rail in the loading structure 7 is higher than the exit end, and under the action of the gravity of the carrier 3 and its load, the hanging part on the carrier 3 slides from the entrance end to the exit end. The guide rail in the unloading structure 2 is also arranged in a similar way, and the entrance end of the guide rail is also higher than the exit end, and the carrier 3 travels on the guide rail in a similar way. Therefore, the guide rails in the loading structure 7 and the unloading structure 2 are both composed of inclined rails 8 and curved rails, the inclined rails 8 are straight rod structures, and the curved rails have a curved shape. The inclined angle of the inclined rails 8 in the two structures is the same, which makes the preparation of the two structures convenient and the appearance of the whole good.

[0021] The conveying chain 4 is arranged in a U shape and has a descending section 43, a horizontal conveying section 42, and an ascending section 41. The descending section 43 and the ascending section 41 are arranged obliquely, and the horizontal conveying section 42 is arranged in the width direction of the loop track 10 and is generally arranged horizontally. The descending section 43 is associated with the loading structure 7, and the ascending section 41 is associated with the unloading structure 2, which enables the conveying chain 4 to adapt well to the conveying of the carrier 3. If the conveying chain 4 passes through the loop track 10 from above, the conveying chain 4 is arranged in an inverted U shape.

[0022] The cross-rail conveying device takes the support 9 as the support, the support 9 is built by aluminum profiles, and the support 9 has standing rods 91 for standing on the ground. The standing rods 91 are connected with cross rods 92, the arrangement of the cross rods 92 can well adapt to the crossing of the conveying chain 4 over the loop track 10 and is conducive to the spatial arrangement of the conveying chain 4.

A plurality of support wheels 6 are arranged on at least one cross rod 92, and the conveying chain 4 abuts against the support wheels 6, so as to realize the spatial arrangement of the conveying chain 4.

[0023] The clamping opening 45 of the conveying chain 4 is formed between two adjacent chain links 44 which are hingedly connected together at their ends, and the clamping opening 45 is arranged at the leading end of the chain link 44. The descending section 43, the horizontal conveying section 42 and the ascending section 41 of the conveying chain 4 are arranged in straight lines, so that the clamping openings 45 in the straight sections of the conveying chain 4 are in a closed state. In order to ensure the stable closing of the clamping opening 45, a straight guide bar is arranged to cooperate with the conveying chain, so as to ensure the stable load bearing of the conveying chain 4. At the curved sections of the conveying chain 4, the clamping openings 45 are in an open state. Therefore, in addition to the two end positions of the conveying chain 4, a curved stop bar 5 is arranged at the outer side of the curved sections of the conveying chain 4. The curvature of the stop bar 5 is adapted to the curvature of the corresponding conveying chain 4. The stop bar 5 is used to block the hanging part of the carrier 3 in the clamping opening 45 of the curved section of the conveying chain 4. At the two end positions of the conveying chain 4, the two end positions of the conveying chain are in a curved state due to the existence of the sprocket 1, and the clamping openings 45 at the two end positions are in an open state. The hanging part of the carrier 3 which has passed through the in-loading structure 7 can smoothly enter the open clamping opening 45, and the hanging part of the carrier 3 can also smoothly enter the out-loading structure 2 from the open clamping opening 45.

[0024] The clamping opening 45 of the conveying chain 4 can also be formed at the middle position of the chain link 44. In this type of conveying chain 4, an elastic hook is formed at the position of the clamping opening 45. Under normal conditions, the end of the elastic hook extends into the opening of the clamping opening 45 to close the clamping opening 45, so as to stably hold the hanging part of the carrier 3 in the clamping opening 45. At the two end positions of the conveying chain, the teeth of the sprocket 1 extend into the chain link 44 from the back side of the chain link 44 to mesh with the conveying chain 4. The teeth of the sprocket 1 abut against the elastic hook, so as to separate the end of the elastic hook from the clamping opening 45, thereby enabling the hanging part of the carrier 3 to enter or exit the clamping opening 45. After the teeth of the sprocket 1 are separated from the chain link 44, the end of the elastic hook again extends into the opening of the clamping opening 45.
