[0065] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0066] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 The loading and unloading equipment provided in the embodiments of this application is described. The loading and unloading equipment includes a housing 100, a hopper 200, two carrier flow lines 300 and two conveying devices.

[0067] The housing 100 forms a receiving cavity with an inlet 102 and an outlet. A hopper 200 is disposed within the receiving cavity for storing the carrier 900. It should be noted that the shape and size of the receiving cavity, the inlet 102, the outlet, and the hopper 200 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0068] The carrier flow lines 300 are arranged in the receiving cavity, with the discharge end of one carrier flow line 300 close to the discharge port and the inlet end of the other carrier flow line 300 close to the inlet port 102; the conveying device is arranged in the receiving cavity and corresponds to the carrier flow lines 300 one by one, and is used to drive the carrier 900 to transfer between the hopper 200 and the corresponding carrier flow line 300.

[0069] Understandably, the carrier 900 in the silo 200 is transferred to the inlet end of one of the carrier flow lines 300 by one of the conveying devices, and then conveyed to the outlet end of the carrier flow line 300 and sent out of the housing 100 through the outlet to carry products for subsequent processing. At the same time, the carrier 900 that has been used outside the housing 100 is placed at the inlet end of another carrier flow line 300 through the inlet 102, and then another conveying device transfers the carrier 900 conveyed to the outlet end of the carrier flow line 300 back into the silo 200. This realizes the automated management of the carrier 900, which can reduce the time and cost of handling and transporting the carrier 900 and improve the utilization rate of the carrier 900.

[0070] According to the loading and unloading equipment provided in the embodiments of this application, the carrier 900 can be used cyclically through the handling device and the carrier flow line 300. That is, while some empty carriers 900 move from the silo 200 to the production line, other empty carriers 900 can be returned from the production line to the silo 200 in a timely manner, saving time and effort and improving the utilization rate of the carrier 900.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle streamline 300 includes a conveyor frame 310, a first conveyor belt assembly, a carrier assembly 330, and a first drive assembly 340. The first conveyor belt assembly is used to convey the vehicle 900. The fixed end of the first conveyor belt assembly is disposed on the conveyor frame 310, and the first conveyor belt 321 of the first conveyor belt assembly extends along a first horizontal direction. The carrier assembly 330 is used to carry the vehicle 900. The fixed end of the first drive assembly 340 is disposed on the conveyor frame 310, and the output end of the first drive assembly 340 is connected to the carrier assembly 330, for driving the carrier assembly 330 to move in the vertical direction to approach or move away from the first conveyor belt 321. The first drive assembly 340 includes, but is not limited to, a lifting cylinder.

[0072] Understandably, the conveyor frame 310 is typically made of metal or other robust materials to ensure the stability and durability of the entire system. The first conveyor belt assembly transports the carrier 900 along a first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port, or transports the carrier 900 from the inlet 102 to approach the hopper 200. When the transport device needs to transfer the carrier 900, the output end of the first drive component 340 drives the bearing component 330 to move upward until it carries the carrier 900, and continues to move upward to the transfer position. At the same time, the carrier 900 moves away from the first conveyor belt assembly. After the transport device grabs the carrier 900 from the bearing component 330, the output end of the first drive component 340 drives the bearing component 330 downward to the initial position. When it is necessary to receive the carrier 900 from the transport device, the output end of the first drive component 340 drives the bearing component 330 to move upward to the transfer position. At the same time, the transport device releases the carrier 900 to the bearing component 330. The output end of the first drive component 340 drives the bearing component 330 downward to the initial position. At the same time, the carrier 900 is placed on the first conveyor belt assembly so that it can move along the first horizontal direction to approach the discharge port. This saves time and effort, realizes automated carrier transfer, and makes the structure of the carrier streamline 300 more compact, improving space utilization and transfer efficiency.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction is parallel to the length direction of the carrier 900, so as to make the entire loading and unloading equipment more compact.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle streamline 300 also includes a limiting component for limiting the range of movement of the carrying component 330.

[0075] Understandably, by using limit components to prevent the load-bearing component 330 from moving too high or too low during vertical movement, it helps to reduce interference between the load-bearing component 330 and other components in the vehicle flow 300, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle flow 300.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first conveyor belt assembly includes two first conveyor belts 321 spaced apart along a second horizontal direction. The carrier assembly 330 includes a carrier plate 331 and a connector. The carrier plate 331 is located between the two first conveyor belts 321. The connector is connected to the output end of the first drive assembly 340, and the connector and the carrier plate 331 are connected to form two through slots 3301 that correspond one-to-one with the first conveyor belts 321. It should be noted that the shape and size of the through slots 3301 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0077] Understandably, the support plate 331 is positioned between the two first conveyor belts 321 along the second horizontal direction, facilitating the transfer of the carrier 900 between the support plate 331 and the first conveyor belts 321 while making the overall carrier streamline 300 structure more compact. Simultaneously, the projections of the two first conveyor belts 321 along the vertical direction are respectively located within two corresponding through slots 3301, thereby making the overall carrier streamline 300 structure more compact while reducing the interference of the first conveyor belts 321 with the vertical movement of the support assembly 330.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector includes two connecting parts respectively disposed on both sides of the support plate 331. The connecting parts include a horizontal beam 3321 and a vertical beam 3322. The horizontal beam 3321 extends along the first horizontal direction and is connected to the support plate 331 to form a through groove 3301. The horizontal beam 3321 is located on the side of the first conveyor belt 321 away from the support plate 331. The vertical beam 3322 is connected to the horizontal beam 3321 and extends along the vertical direction. The vertical beam 3322 is slidably engaged with the conveyor frame 310.

[0079] It is understood that the two connecting parts are located on both sides of the bearing plate 331 along the second horizontal direction. The bearing plate 331 is set at the notch of the crossbeam 3321 to form a through groove 3301. The top of the vertical beam 3322 is connected to the bottom of the crossbeam 3321, and the side wall of the vertical beam 3322 is slidably engaged with the side wall of the conveyor frame 310, thereby guiding the up and down movement of the bearing assembly 330 and improving the smooth movement of the bearing assembly 330.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting component includes a limiting hole and a limiting post 352 that fit together. The axis of the limiting hole extends in the vertical direction. The limiting hole is formed in one of the bearing component 330 and the conveyor frame 310, and the limiting post 352 is disposed in the other of the bearing component 330 and the conveyor frame 310. It should be noted that the number and shape of the limiting posts 352 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0081] Understandably, the limiting hole is opened in one of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveyor frame 310, and the limiting post 352 protrudes from the other of the vertical beam 3322 and the conveyor frame 310. That is, when the first drive assembly 340 drives the bearing assembly 330 to move upward until the limiting post 352 is inserted into the limiting hole, the range of upward movement of the bearing plate 331 is limited, thereby increasing the safety and accuracy of the use of the carrier streamline 300.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the carrier streamline 300 also includes a first stop 360 and a second drive assembly 370. The first stop 360 is disposed near the end of the first conveyor belt 321 and is adapted to engage or disengage with the carrier 900. The fixed end of the second drive assembly 370 is disposed on the conveyor frame 310, and the output end of the second drive assembly 370 is connected to the first stop 360 for driving the first stop 360 to move in the vertical direction. The second drive assembly 370 includes, but is not limited to, a lifting cylinder.

[0083] Understandably, when the carrier component 330 moves between the initial position and the intermediate position, the second drive component 370 drives the first stop 360 to move upward to engage with the carrier 900, thereby preventing the carrier 900 from moving along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 321. When the carrier component 330 moves to the initial position, the second drive component 370 drives the first stop 360 to move downward to disengage from the carrier 900, so that the carrier 900 can continue to move forward. This improves the automation level of the carrier flow line 300 and ensures the safety and efficiency of the carrier flow line 300.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first stop 360 is adjustable in its mounting position along the second horizontal direction to accommodate vehicles 900 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the vehicle streamline 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixed end of the second drive assembly 370 is connected to the conveyor frame 310 via the first positioning member. One of the first positioning member and the conveyor frame 310 has a first elongated hole, and the other of the first positioning member and the conveyor frame 310 has multiple first mounting holes spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. That is, by cooperating with the first elongated hole and different first mounting holes, the mounting position of the first stop member 360 along the second horizontal direction can be adjusted.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle flow line 300 also includes a first anti-reverse member 380, which is disposed on the conveyor frame 310 and close to the end of the first conveyor belt 321, for restricting the vehicle 900 from moving in a direction opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 321.

[0087] Understandably, during the movement of the load-bearing component 330, the first stop 360 abuts against the carrier 900. By setting the first anti-reverse component 380, the possibility of the adjacent carrier 900 on the first conveyor belt 321 moving in the opposite direction due to the impact and collision of the stop due to the first stop 360 or the first conveyor belt 321 is reduced, thereby improving the safety and stability of the carrier 900 transport.

[0088] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the first anti-reverse member 380 and the first stop member 360 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first anti-reverse component 380 includes a mounting block 381, a guide block 382, ​​and an elastic element. The mounting block 381 is disposed on the conveyor frame 310. The guide block 382 is movably disposed on the mounting block 381 between a first position and a second position, and the upper surface of the guide block 382 has a guide surface. The elastic element is connected to both the guide block 382 and the mounting block 381, and is used to drive the guide block 382 to switch from the second position to the first position. In the first position, the guide block 382 is adapted to abut against the outer wall of the carrier 900, and the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 321. In the second position, the guide surface of the guide block 382 slides against the bottom surface of the carrier 900. The elastic element includes, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0090] Understandably, when the guide block 382 is in the first position, the guide surface is inclined upward along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 321, which helps guide the carrier 900 to move smoothly in the first horizontal direction. That is, when the carrier 900 passes over the guide block 382 under the action of the first conveyor belt 321, it drives the guide block 382 to switch to the second position and causes the elastic element to deform. When the carrier 900 completely disengages from the guide block 382, ​​the guide block 382 switches back to the first position under the action of the elastic element's own rebound force. Therefore, when the carrier 900 moves in the opposite direction, it abuts against the side wall of the guide block 382, ​​thereby preventing the carrier 900 from sliding in the opposite direction.

[0091] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the guide block 382 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 381, and the axis of rotation is parallel to the second horizontal direction.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first anti-reverse component 380 is adjustable in its mounting position along the second horizontal direction to accommodate vehicles 900 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the vehicle streamline 300.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the mounting block 381 is connected to the conveyor frame 310 through the second positioning member. One of the second positioning member and the conveyor frame 310 has a second elongated hole, and the other of the second positioning member and the conveyor frame 310 has a plurality of second mounting holes spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. That is, by cooperating with the second elongated hole and different second mounting holes, the mounting position of the first anti-reverse member 380 along the second horizontal direction can be adjusted.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first anti-reverse component 380 is adjustable in its mounting position along the first horizontal direction to accommodate vehicles 900 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and versatility of the vehicle streamline 300.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, one of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning member has a third elongated hole, and the other of the mounting block 381 and the second positioning member has multiple third mounting holes spaced apart along the first horizontal direction. That is, by cooperating with the third elongated hole and different third mounting holes, the installation position of the guide block 382 along the first horizontal direction can be adjusted.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the two carrier streamlines 300 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction, and the inlet 102 and outlet are respectively opened on the two sides of the housing 100 that are opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction.

[0097] It is understandable that the feed inlet 102, one of the carrier flow lines 300, the other carrier flow line 300, and the discharge outlet are arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction, which helps to achieve continuous flow of the carrier 900, reduce the waiting time and cross-interference of the carrier 900 during handling and transfer, help to balance the load of the loading and unloading equipment, reduce potential mechanical stress or wear caused by unilateral overload, and improve the efficiency and reliability of the loading and unloading equipment.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the conveying device includes a clamping mechanism 400 and a transfer mechanism 500. The clamping mechanism 400 is used to move the carrier 900 between the carrier flow line 300 and the transfer mechanism 500. The transfer mechanism 500 is used to pick up and place the carrier 900 from the hopper 200 and carry the carrier 900.

[0099] Understandably, the clamping mechanism 400 clamps the carrier 900 from the support plate 331 and moves it to the transfer mechanism 500, or clamps the carrier 900 on the transfer mechanism 500 onto the support plate 331; the transfer mechanism 500 moves the carrier 900 to the hopper 200 for storage, or removes the carrier 900 from the hopper 200, thereby achieving efficient and precise transfer of the carrier 900 between the hopper 200 and the carrier flow line 300, improving the flexibility and reliability of the loading and unloading equipment.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 400 includes a clamping member 410, a first clamping drive member 420, and a second clamping drive member 430. The clamping member 410 is used to clamp and release the carrier 900. The output end of the first clamping drive member 420 is provided with the clamping member 410 and is used to drive the clamping member 410 to move in the vertical direction. The fixed end of the second clamping drive member 430 is provided with the housing 100, and the output end of the second clamping drive member 430 is connected to the fixed end of the first clamping drive member 420 and is used to drive the first clamping drive member 420 to move in the second horizontal direction. The first clamping drive member 420 and the second clamping drive member 430 include, but are not limited to, linear cylinders.

[0101] It is understandable that by using the first clamping drive 420 and the second clamping drive 430, the clamping member 410 can move in the vertical direction and the second horizontal direction respectively, thereby moving closer to or away from one of the transfer mechanism 500 and the carrier flow line 300, thus improving the automation of the loading and unloading equipment.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping member 410 includes a third clamping drive member and two opposing grippers. The fixed end of the third clamping drive member is connected to the output end of the first clamping drive member 420, and the output end of the third clamping drive member is connected to the two grippers respectively, for driving the two grippers to move closer or further apart along the second horizontal direction, so as to clamp or release the carrier 900. The third clamping drive member includes, but is not limited to, a linear cylinder.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the transfer mechanism 500 includes a mounting bracket 510, a transfer drive assembly, and a carrying platform 530. The mounting bracket 510 is disposed inside the housing 100. The fixed end of the transfer drive assembly is disposed on the mounting bracket 510. The carrying platform 530 is used to carry the carrier 900. The output end of the transfer drive assembly is connected to the carrying platform 530 and is used to drive the carrying platform 530 to move along the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the up and down direction, respectively. The first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction, and the up and down direction intersect each other.

[0104] Understandably, the mounting bracket 510 is set inside the housing 100 to provide stable support, and drives the carrier platform 530 to move along the first horizontal direction, the second horizontal direction and the vertical direction respectively through the transfer drive assembly, thereby achieving precise transfer of the carrier 900 while ensuring stability and safety during the movement, and providing flexibility and automation in use.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the transfer drive assembly includes a first belt conveyor 521 and a second belt conveyor 522. The output end of the first belt conveyor 521 is connected to the fixed end of the second belt conveyor 522, and the output end of the second belt conveyor 522 is connected to the carrying platform 530. The conveying directions of the first belt conveyor 521 and the second belt conveyor 522 are the same.

[0106] It is understandable that by setting up a first belt conveyor 521 and a second belt conveyor 522 that are connected and have the same conveying direction, the travel distance of the carrying platform 530 along the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 521 can be increased simply and effectively while making the transfer drive assembly structure compact, which helps to improve the space utilization and operating efficiency of the transfer mechanism 500.

[0107] In this embodiment, as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 521 and the second belt conveyor 522 is parallel to the first horizontal direction.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first belt conveyor 521 includes a base 5211, a first support block 5212 and a first conveyor belt 5213. The first support block 5212 is disposed on the base 5211. The first conveyor belt 5213 is sleeved on the first support block 5212 and connected to the fixed end of the second belt conveyor 522. The first conveyor belt 5213 extends along the first horizontal direction.

[0109] Understandably, the first support block 5212 is mounted on the base 5211 to support the first conveyor belt 5213 and ensure its proper tension and guidance. Simultaneously, the first conveyor belt 5213 is loop-shaped and rotatably fitted around the first support block 5212. This means that while the first conveyor belt 5213 transmits power, the first support block 5212 keeps it taut at all times, ensuring stable movement.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the second belt conveyor 522 includes a second support block 5221 and a second conveyor belt 5222. The second support block 5221 is slidably disposed on the base 5211 and connected to the first conveyor belt 5213. The second conveyor belt 5222 is sleeved on the second support block 5221 and connected to the bearing platform 530. The second conveyor belt 5222 extends along the first horizontal direction.

[0111] Understandably, the second support block 5221 is slidably mounted on the base 5211, serving to support the second conveyor belt 5222 while also acting as a guide, ensuring the correct tension and guidance of the second conveyor belt 5222. Simultaneously, the second conveyor belt 5222 is loop-shaped and rotatably fitted around the second support block 5221. This means that while the second conveyor belt 5222 transmits power, the second support block 5221 keeps it constantly taut, ensuring stable movement.

[0112] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are both located below the bearing platform 530, and the first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction.

[0113] Understandably, both the first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are located below the bearing platform 530, providing stable support for the bearing platform 530 while minimizing interference with the operating space above the bearing platform 530. The first support block 5212 and the second support block 5221 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, making the structure of the transfer mechanism 500 more compact and providing better weight distribution, reducing the pressure on individual support points, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire transfer mechanism 500.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one of the second support block 5221 and the base 5211 is provided with a first slide rail 5231, which extends along a first horizontal direction, and the other of the second support block 5221 and the base 5211 is provided with a first slider that cooperates with the first slide rail 5231.

[0115] It is understandable that the sliding cooperation between the first slide rail 5231 and the first slider enables the relative sliding between the second support block 5221 and the base 5211 along the first horizontal direction, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the movement of the second support block 5221 under the drive of the first conveyor belt 5213.

[0116] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the first slide rail 5231 is disposed on the base 5211, and the first slider is disposed on the second support block 5221. It should be noted that the number of the first slide rail 5231 and the first slider can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one of the first support block 5212 and the bearing platform 530 is provided with a second slide rail 5233, which extends along a first horizontal direction. The other of the first support block 5212 and the bearing platform 530 is provided with a second slider that cooperates with the second slide rail 5233.

[0118] It is understandable that the sliding cooperation between the second slide rail 5233 and the second slider enables the relative sliding between the first support block 5212 and the bearing platform 530 along the first horizontal direction, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the movement of the bearing platform 530 under the drive of the first conveyor belt 5213 and the second conveyor belt 5222.

[0119] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second slide rail 5233 is disposed on the first support block 5212, and the second slider is disposed on the bearing platform 530. It should be noted that the number of the first slide rail 5231 and the first slider can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a connecting block 5234 is provided on the base 5211. The connecting block 5234 and the first support block 5212 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. One of the connecting block 5234 and the bearing platform 530 is provided with a third slide rail 5235. The third slide rail 5235 extends along the first horizontal direction. The other of the connecting block 5234 and the bearing platform 530 is provided with a third slider 5236 that cooperates with the third slide rail 5235.

[0121] Understandably, the second support block 5221 is located between the connecting block 5234 and the first support block 5212 along the second horizontal direction, thereby protecting the second support block 5221 and the second conveyor belt 5222. At the same time, the relative sliding between the third slide rail 5235 and the third slider 5236 along the first horizontal direction improves the accuracy and stability of the movement of the carrying platform 530 driven by the first conveyor belt 5213 and the second conveyor belt 5222.

[0122] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the third slide rail 5235 is disposed on the connecting block 5234, and the third slider 5236 is disposed on the bearing platform 530. It should be noted that the number of the third slide rail 5235 and the third slider 5236 can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a support bar 5237 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the support platform 530, the support bar 5237 extends along a first horizontal direction, and a rolling element 5238 is rotatably disposed on the base 5211, the rotation axis of the rolling element 5238 is parallel to a second horizontal direction, and the rolling element 5238 and the support bar 5237 roll against each other. The rolling element 5238 includes, but is not limited to, rollers.

[0124] Understandably, the bottom of the support platform 530 forms a groove that runs through the support platform 530 along the first horizontal direction. Therefore, as the support platform 530 moves along the first horizontal direction, the groove and the support bar 5237 slide together, providing stable support for the support platform 530 while guiding its movement in the first horizontal direction. This reduces the possibility of the support platform 530 tilting or shifting when carrying a heavy vehicle 900 or moving a long distance along the first horizontal direction. Simultaneously, the rolling element 5238 is rotatably mounted on the connecting block 5234 and spaced on the base 5211. This not only ensures that the support bar 5237 is always held between the rolling element 5238 and the support platform 530, guaranteeing the stability of the support bar 5237 during the movement of the support platform 530, but also utilizes rolling friction instead of sliding friction to reduce friction and extend the service life of the transfer mechanism 500.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 521 is parallel to the first horizontal direction. The transfer drive assembly also includes a first drive member 524 and a second drive member 525. The fixed end of the first drive member 524 is connected to the mounting bracket 510; the output end of the first drive member 524 is connected to the fixed end of the second drive member 525, for driving the second drive member 525 to move in the up-down direction. The output end of the second drive member 525 is connected to the fixed end of the first belt conveyor 521, for driving the first belt conveyor 521 to move in the second horizontal direction. The first drive member 524 and the second drive member 525 include, but are not limited to, linear motors.

[0126] It is understood that the first drive member 524 enables the vertical movement of the carrying platform 530, and the second drive member 525 enables the vertical movement of the carrying platform 530. Both the belt drive members of the first belt conveyor 521 and the belt drive members of the second belt conveyor 522 can enable the vertical movement of the carrying platform 530, thereby adapting to the complex handling requirements of the vehicle 900. Of course, in some other embodiments, only the first belt conveyor 521 may include a belt drive member, that is, the first belt conveyor 521 and the second belt conveyor 522 may form a double-stroke mechanism. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the hopper 200 includes a fixed support 210, which forms a plurality of accommodating spaces 211 arranged in a matrix along the second horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The accommodating spaces 211 are used to accommodate at least one carrier 900. It should be noted that the shape, size and number of accommodating spaces can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0128] It is understandable that multiple accommodating spaces 211 are arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction and sequentially along the vertical direction, thereby forming a matrix arrangement of multiple accommodating spaces 211, which improves the space utilization rate of the entire accommodating cavity and also helps to improve the access efficiency of the vehicle 900, so that each vehicle 900 can have a designated position for management and retrieval.

[0129] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, each accommodating space 211 accommodates only one carrier 900. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple stacked carriers 900 can also be accommodated, thereby increasing the storage capacity of the silo 200. That is, the transfer mechanism 500, the clamping mechanism 400, and the carrier flow line 300 can all transport all carriers 900 in one accommodating space 211 at the same time. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two transfer mechanisms 500 are arranged opposite each other and located on both sides of the hopper 200 along the first horizontal direction.

[0131] Understandably, the two transfer mechanisms 500 are arranged opposite each other and located on both sides of the fixed bracket 210 along the first horizontal direction to reduce the possibility of mutual interference between the two transfer mechanisms 500 and improve transfer efficiency. In addition, the open ends of the accommodating space 211 along the first horizontal direction improve the flexibility and efficiency of the operation of the transfer mechanism 500 and make the space inside the entire accommodating cavity more compact.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the two clamping mechanisms 400 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction.

[0133] It is understandable that, considering that the clamping member 410 can move along the second horizontal direction and the vertical direction respectively, by setting the two clamping mechanisms 400 at intervals along the first horizontal direction, while docking with the corresponding transfer mechanism 500 and the carrier streamline 300, sufficient working distance is maintained to reduce mutual interference between the clamping mechanisms 400.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the receiving cavity also has a first clearance opening 104 and a second clearance opening. The loading and unloading equipment also includes a production line 600, which is disposed within the receiving cavity and is used to drive the carrier 900 carrying materials from the first clearance opening 104 to the second clearance opening. It should be noted that the shape and size of the first clearance opening 104 and the second clearance opening can be designed according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0135] Understandably, considering that the loading and unloading equipment and other processing equipment will work together, so that the carrier 900 carrying the material flows out of the housing 100 through the first clearance port 104, the production flow line 600 and the second clearance port in sequence, the loading and unloading equipment can be seamlessly integrated into the production system, ensuring the continuous flow of materials in the production process, reducing stagnation and handling time, and improving production efficiency.

[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the production line 600 includes a fixed frame 610 and a second conveyor belt assembly 620. The fixed frame 610 is connected to the conveyor frame 310. The second conveyor belt is used to transport a carrier 900 carrying materials. The fixed end of the second conveyor belt assembly 620 is disposed on the conveyor frame 310, and the second conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt assembly 620 extends along a first horizontal direction. That is, the carrier 900 is transported by the second conveyor belt to the second clearance opening 104 through the first clearance opening, thereby realizing the transportation of the carrier 900 carrying materials.

[0137] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the production line 600 also includes a second stop and a second anti-reverse member respectively disposed near both ends of the second conveyor belt. The second stop is adapted to engage or disengage with the carrier 900; the second anti-reverse member is used to restrict the carrier 900 from moving in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt. It should be noted that the specific structure of the second stop is similar to that of the first stop 360, and the specific structure of the second anti-reverse member is similar to that of the first anti-reverse member 380; however, this embodiment will not elaborate on these details.

[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the hopper 200, production flow line 600 and carrier flow line 300 are distributed sequentially along the second horizontal direction, which helps to optimize space utilization within the limited containment cavity, improve the working efficiency and safety of loading and unloading equipment, and reduce the complexity of operation.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple production lines 600 are provided, and the multiple production lines 600 are arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction.

[0140] It is understandable that the first clearance opening 104 and the second clearance opening are opened opposite each other on the two sides of the housing 100 along the first horizontal direction, so that the carrier 900 carrying materials can pass through the first clearance opening 104 in sequence through multiple production lines 600 and then flow out from the second clearance opening, which helps to realize the rapid and orderly flow of materials, reduce stagnation and waiting time, and improve overall production efficiency.
