[0002] With the development of manufacturing technology, conveyor lines, as an indispensable transmission equipment in industrial production, play an important role in the production process by transporting raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products from one workstation to another. Through continuous and stable transmission, they effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0003] In related technologies, traditional conveyor lines suffer from a single transmission path due to their structural design, which presents numerous limitations in practical applications. Specifically, they are difficult to implement flexible material diversion operations and are not convenient for picking up or putting down materials during transmission, resulting in poor flexibility and adaptability of the conveying system. Utility Model Content

[0021] The first optical fiber line also connects the feed stator, the current merging control board, the first current splitting control board, the second current splitting control board, and multiple straight-through stators in series.

[0022] In some embodiments, the transmission line further includes:

[0023] A third optical fiber connects the feed stator, the first branched stator, multiple temporary storage stators, the second branched stator, and the discharge stator in series.

[0024] The fourth optical fiber connects multiple straight-through stators in series.

[0025] In some embodiments, the transmission line is a multi-layer transmission line, which includes an upper transmission line and a lower transmission line. The upper transmission line and the lower transmission line are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Both the upper transmission line and the lower transmission line include the feeding section, the first bifurcation stator, the straight section, the temporary storage section, and the second bifurcation stator. The feeding stator at the beginning of the feeding section in the upper transmission line and the discharging stator at the end of the discharging section in the lower transmission line are arranged vertically opposite each other.

[0026] The transmission line also includes:

[0027] The first upper and lower connecting mechanism includes a first upper and lower connecting drive assembly and a first upper and lower connecting stator disposed on the first upper and lower connecting drive assembly. The first upper and lower connecting drive assembly is used to drive the first upper and lower connecting stator to move, so that the first upper and lower connecting stator connects with the feed stator located at the beginning of the feed section in the upper transmission line or the discharge stator located at the end of the discharge section in the lower transmission line; and,

[0028] The second upper and lower connecting mechanism includes a second upper and lower connecting drive assembly and a second upper and lower connecting stator disposed on the second upper and lower connecting drive assembly. The second upper and lower connecting drive assembly is used to drive the second upper and lower connecting stator to move so that the second upper and lower connecting stator connects with the discharge stator located at the end of the discharge section in the upper transmission line or the feed stator located at the beginning of the feed section in the lower transmission line.

[0029] In some embodiments, the temporary storage stator includes a first linear stator, a first arc-shaped stator, a second arc-shaped stator, and a second linear stator arranged sequentially along the transmission direction of the temporary storage section. The first linear stator is spliced ​​with the second discharge end, and the second linear stator is spliced ​​with the third feed end.

[0030] In some embodiments, the transmission direction of the second discharge end to the mover is parallel to the transmission direction of the third feed end to the mover;

[0031] The number of first linear stators is multiple, and the multiple first linear stators are spliced ​​together along the transmission direction of the second discharge end to the mover. The number of second linear stators is multiple, and the multiple second linear stators are spliced ​​together along the transmission direction of the third feed end to the mover.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, by setting the structure of the first bifurcated stator and the second bifurcated stator, the mover can be diverted from the first feed end of the first bifurcated stator to the first discharge end or the second discharge end according to production needs, and then the material is merged to the third discharge end through the second feed end and the third feed end of the second bifurcated stator. This diversion and merging design enables the transmission line to flexibly adapt to the material transmission path switching needs of different processes, effectively solving the problem of insufficient flexibility caused by the fixed path of traditional conveyor lines. With the splicing of the feeding stator at the end of the feeding section with the first feeding end of the first branch stator, the bidirectional splicing of the straight-through stator with the first discharge end and the second feeding end, and the buffer channel formed by the sequential splicing of multiple temporary storage stators in the temporary storage section, the material can enter the temporary storage section through the second discharge end for temporary storage during the transmission, and then achieve secondary transmission through the splicing of the temporary storage stator at the end of the temporary storage section with the third feeding end of the second branch stator. This layout not only provides a convenient temporary storage node for picking up and putting down materials in the middle, but also allows the material transmission rhythm to be adjusted through the temporary storage section, avoiding congestion during multi-path transmission.

[0044] With the development of manufacturing technology, conveyor lines, as an indispensable transmission equipment in industrial production, play an important role in the production process by transporting raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products from one workstation to another. Through continuous and stable transmission, they effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0045] In related technologies, traditional conveyor lines suffer from a single transmission path due to their structural design, which presents numerous limitations in practical applications. Specifically, they are difficult to implement flexible material diversion operations and are not convenient for picking up or putting down materials during transmission, resulting in poor flexibility and adaptability of the conveying system.

[0046] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The first aspect of this application proposes a transmission line 100, which, in an embodiment of this application, includes a feeding section 30, a first branching stator 10, a straight section 40, a temporary storage section 50, and a second branching stator 20.

[0047] In this application, the carrier component of the transmission line 100 for transmission is called the mover, which typically contains a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Each stator in the transmission line 100 is equipped with linear windings. When a product is placed on the mover, the permanent magnet or electromagnet on the mover magnetically couples with the linear windings, allowing the mover to move along the transmission direction corresponding to the stator splicing direction under the influence of the magnetic field generated by the coil, thereby realizing the transport of the product.

[0048] The feeding section 30 includes at least one feeding stator 31, with the feeding stator 31 located at the end of the conveying direction of the feeding section 30 spliced ​​with the first feeding end 11. The feeding section 30, as the starting part of the conveyor line 100, is composed of at least one feeding stator 31, which are sequentially spliced ​​to form the initial channel for material to enter the conveyor line 100. In the embodiments of this application, the feeding section 30 is composed of multiple linear stators sequentially spliced ​​together. The linear layout characteristics of the linear stators enable the mover to be smoothly conveyed along a fixed direction in this area, providing a stable foundation for subsequent path switching. The arrangement of multiple feeding stators 31 not only extends the conveying distance of the feeding section 30, meeting the length requirements of the initial material conveying in different production scenarios, but also ensures a smooth transition of the mover at the starting point of the conveying process, laying the foundation for subsequent complex path diversion conveying, and making the entire conveying process continuous and stable.

[0049] The first bifurcated stator 10 includes a first feed end 11, a first discharge end 12, and a second discharge end 13. The mover can be diverted from the first feed end 11 to either the first discharge end 12 or the second discharge end 13. The feed stator 31, located at the end of the feed section 30 in the transmission direction, is precisely connected to the first feed end 11 of the first bifurcated stator 10. When the mover carrying the material moves in a straight line under the drive of the magnetic field generated by the multiple feed stators 31, and reaches the end feed stator 31, it can seamlessly connect to the first feed end 11 of the first bifurcated stator 10. Thus, based on the production process requirements, the material is diverted through the first bifurcated stator 10. The working principle of the first bifurcated stator 10 is based on magnetic field drive. When the moving part (with a permanent magnet or electromagnet inside) loaded with the product enters the first feed end 11 of the first branching stator 10, a specific magnetic field is generated by controlling the linear windings of the stator to magnetically couple with the magnet inside the moving part, changing the direction of movement of the moving part. This allows the moving part to autonomously choose to be diverted to the first discharge end 12 or the second discharge end 13 according to the needs of the production process, thus realizing the first branching of the material on the transmission path.

[0050] The straight section 40 includes at least one straight stator 41, which is spliced ​​with the first discharge end 12 and the second feed end 21.

[0051] The temporary storage section 50 comprises multiple temporary storage stators connected in sequence. The temporary storage stator at the beginning of the transmission direction of the temporary storage section 50 is connected to the second discharge end 13, and the temporary storage stator at the end of the transmission direction of the temporary storage section 50 is connected to the third feed end 22. The temporary storage section 50 serves as a buffer and adjustment area for the transmission line 100, and is formed by the sequential connection of multiple temporary storage stators, creating a temporary storage channel with flexibly adjustable length. Specifically, the temporary storage stator at the beginning of the transmission direction of the temporary storage section 50 is precisely connected to the second discharge end 13 of the first branch stator 10, while the end temporary storage stator is connected to the third feed end 22 of the second branch stator 20, forming a complete closed-loop path of "diversion and temporary storage - merging transmission". When the mover is diverted from the second discharge end 13 of the first branch stator 10 into the temporary storage section 50, it can temporarily stop on the linear path formed by the multiple temporary storage stators, facilitating the operator's intermediate material handling or waiting for subsequent processes to complete. The multi-stator splicing design of the temporary storage section 50 allows it to flexibly adjust its storage capacity according to production rhythm requirements. When the upstream transmission speed does not match the downstream processing capacity, the temporary storage section 50 can temporarily buffer materials, avoiding production line shutdowns caused by transmission congestion. When transmission needs to be resumed, the mover can enter the third feed end 22 of the second bifurcation stator 20 from the end of the temporary storage section 50, merging with the material from the straight-through section 40 at the second bifurcation stator 20, ensuring the continuity of the transmission process. This structural design not only achieves dynamic adjustment of material transmission, but also ensures a smooth transition of the mover between the temporary storage section 50 and other functional sections through precise splicing at the beginning and end, effectively improving the adaptability of the transmission system to complex production scenarios.

[0052] The second bifurcated stator 20 includes a second feed end 21, a third feed end 22, and a third discharge end 23. Moving parts can converge from either the second feed end 21 or the third feed end 22 to the third discharge end 23. The second bifurcated stator 20 is a key hub for material convergence in the transmission line 100, possessing three ports: the second feed end 21, the third feed end 22, and the third discharge end 23. During transmission, moving parts from different paths enter the second bifurcated stator 20 via the second feed end 21 and the third feed end 22, respectively. Since the moving parts contain permanent magnets or electromagnets, the second bifurcated stator 20 generates a specific magnetic field through controlled linear windings, which magnetically couples with the magnets inside the moving parts, thereby guiding and adjusting the direction of movement of the moving parts. By precisely adjusting the strength and direction of the magnetic field, the second bifurcated stator 20 can orderly converge the moving parts entering from the second feed end 21 and the third feed end 22 to the third discharge end 23 for output. In this way, whether the mover comes from the straight section 40 via the second feed end 21 or from the temporary storage section 50 via the third feed end 22, they can merge at the second bifurcation stator 20, allowing the material to continue to be transported along the same transmission path. This effectively solves the integration problem after multi-path transmission and ensures the continuity and efficiency of the entire transmission process.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, by setting the structure of the first bifurcated stator 10 and the second bifurcated stator 20, the mover can be diverted from the first feed end 11 of the first bifurcated stator 10 to the first discharge end 12 or the second discharge end 13 according to production needs, and then the material is merged to the third discharge end 23 through the second feed end 21 and the third feed end 22 of the second bifurcated stator 20. This diversion and merging design enables the transmission line 100 to flexibly adapt to the material transmission path switching needs of different processes, effectively solving the problem of insufficient flexibility caused by the fixed path of traditional conveyor lines. With the splicing of the feeding stator 31 at the end of the feeding section 30 and the first feeding end 11 of the first branch stator 10, the bidirectional splicing of the straight section 40 straight stator 41 with the first discharge end 12 and the second feeding end 21, and the buffer channel formed by the sequential splicing of more than 50 temporary storage stators, the material can enter the temporary storage section 50 for temporary storage through the second discharge end 13 during the transmission, and then achieve secondary transmission through the splicing of the temporary storage stator at the end of the temporary storage section 50 with the third feeding end 22 of the second branch stator 20. This layout not only provides a convenient temporary storage node for picking up and putting down materials in the middle, but also allows the material transmission rhythm to be adjusted through the temporary storage section 50, avoiding congestion during multi-path transmission.

[0054] Reference Figure 1In some embodiments, the transmission line 100 further includes a discharge section 70, comprising at least one discharge stator 71. The discharge stator 71 at the beginning of the transmission direction of the discharge section 70 is spliced ​​with the third discharge end 23. The optical fiber also connects the second branch stator 20 and the discharge stator 71 in series. Thus, the transmission line 100 further improves the material transmission path by adding the discharge section 70. The discharge section 70 consists of at least one discharge stator 71, with the discharge stator 71 at the beginning of the transmission direction precisely spliced ​​with the third discharge end 23 of the second branch stator 20, forming a continuous transmission channel from the confluence point to the discharge port. After completing the series connection of the feed section 30, the straight-through section 40, the temporary storage section 50, and each functional stator, the optical fiber continues to connect the second branch stator 20 and the discharge stator 71 sequentially, constructing a complete signal link throughout the entire transmission line 100. This wiring method ensures signal synchronization between the discharge section 70 and the upstream functional section. When the mover enters the discharge section 70 from the third discharge end 23, the optical fiber transmits the merging status information of the second branch stator 20 to the discharge stator 71 in real time. This allows the discharge section 70 to dynamically adjust transmission parameters, such as speed and spacing, according to material characteristics and subsequent processing requirements. Simultaneously, the discharge stator 71 feeds back its operating status to the control system via the optical fiber, achieving closed-loop monitoring of the entire transmission process. Through this systematic series design, the transmission line 100, while achieving complex path planning and material scheduling, further ensures the efficiency and stability of the discharge stage, enabling materials to arrive at the final processing station with precise timing and status, thus improving the automation level and reliability of the entire production process.

[0055] Furthermore, there are multiple straight-through stators 41, and these stators 41 are spliced ​​together along the transmission direction of the first discharge end 12 to the mover. The straight-through stator 41 at the beginning of the transmission direction of the straight-through section 40 is spliced ​​with the first discharge end 12, and the straight-through stator 41 at the end of the transmission direction of the straight-through section 40 is spliced ​​with the second feed end 21. The straight-through section 40 serves as the core transmission area of ​​the transmission line 100. In practical applications, the straight-through stators 41 are typically linear stators. Multiple linear stators can be sequentially spliced ​​together to form the straight-through section 40, depending on the transmission distance and production requirements. These linear stators, with their linear structural characteristics, construct a stable transmission path for the mover without directional abrupt changes, effectively reducing energy loss and speed fluctuations during mover operation. After the mover branches off from the first discharge end 12 of the first branched stator 10, it quickly enters the straight section 40 of the linear stator. Driven by the magnetic field generated by the stator windings, it moves rapidly and smoothly along a straight line until it reaches the second feed end 21 of the second branched stator 20, laying the foundation for subsequent merging operations. The combination of multiple linear stators not only allows the transmission line 100 to flexibly adapt to the long-distance transmission needs of different production scenarios, enhancing the scalability of the transmission line 100 layout, but also significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of material transmission by reducing the number of path turns, ensuring that the entire transmission system maintains efficient and stable operation even under complex path planning.

[0056] Furthermore, the transmission line 100 also includes a first optical fiber line 60a and a second optical fiber line 60b. The first optical fiber line 60a connects the feed stator 31, the first branched stator 10, multiple straight-through stators 41, the second branched stator 20, and the discharge stator 71 in series. The second optical fiber line 60b connects multiple temporary storage stators in series.

[0057] Compared to the signal transmission method of the traditional transmission line 100, the first optical fiber line 60a and the second optical fiber line 60b have advantages such as strong anti-interference ability, low signal attenuation, and fast transmission rate. This ensures the stability and timeliness of signal transmission between stators, avoiding abnormal movement caused by signal transmission delays or interference. Furthermore, using the first optical fiber line 60a and the second optical fiber line 60b instead of a single excessively long optical fiber line has several significant advantages. From a physical perspective, a single excessively long optical fiber line is easily affected by bending and stretching during installation, leading to signal loss or even breakage. Using two separate optical fiber lines shortens the length of a single fiber, reduces construction difficulty and the probability of line damage, and extends service life. Regarding signal transmission, excessively long optical fiber lines may cause cumulative signal attenuation, affecting control accuracy. The first optical fiber line 60a connects key components such as the feeding stator 31 and the first branching stator 10 in series, while the second optical fiber line 60b focuses on the signal connection of more than 50 temporary stators in the temporary storage section. This clear division of labor reduces signal interference and ensures the purity and transmission efficiency of signals in each functional section. Furthermore, during system maintenance and troubleshooting, the design of two fiber optic lines facilitates quick location of faulty sections. If a problem occurs in a certain section, the corresponding fiber optic line can be repaired specifically without having to troubleshoot the entire line, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency, reduces downtime and maintenance costs, and enhances the reliability and stability of the transmission line 100.

[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 1 When optical fibers are connected in series, black represents the input end of the optical fiber and white represents the output end of the optical fiber.

[0059] Furthermore, the first bifurcation stator 10 also includes a confluence plate assembly, a first splitter plate assembly, and a second splitter plate assembly. This modular design achieves the motor's splitting function.

[0060] The confluence plate assembly includes a confluence control plate and a confluence coil plate that are electrically connected to each other, and has a first feed end 11. The confluence control plate is responsible for receiving external control signals and regulating the confluence coil plate to generate a specific magnetic field, guiding the mover to smoothly enter the first bifurcation stator 10.

[0061] The first diversion plate assembly includes a first diversion control board and a first diversion coil board that are electrically connected to each other, and has a first discharge end 12. The second diversion plate assembly includes a second diversion control board and a second diversion coil board that are electrically connected to each other, and has a second discharge end 13. The mover can move from the merging coil board to either the first or second diversion coil board. When the mover reaches the merging coil board, the magnetic field parameters of each coil board are dynamically adjusted through the coordinated work of the merging control board and the two diversion control boards. This allows the mover to autonomously choose to enter the first diversion coil board and output along the first discharge end 12, or enter the second diversion coil board and output along the second discharge end 13, depending on production needs. This modular diversion design not only enables flexible switching of the mover in the transmission path, but also improves the stability and accuracy of the diversion process through the coordinated work of the independent control board and the coil board, providing reliable assurance for material scheduling in complex production scenarios.

[0062] In the signal transmission design, the first optical fiber 60a constructs a high-speed communication link within the first bifurcation stator 10 by sequentially connecting the current merging control board, the first shunt control board, and the second shunt control board. This wiring method ensures real-time data interaction and synchronous control among the three control boards: when the current merging control board receives a signal that the mover has entered the first feed end 11, it can immediately synchronize the shunt command to the first and second shunt control boards via the first optical fiber 60a; after receiving the command, the two shunt control boards precisely adjust the magnetic field parameters of their respective coil boards and transmit the status feedback information back to the current merging control board via the first optical fiber 60a, forming a closed-loop control. The high-speed transmission characteristics and low latency of the first optical fiber 60a significantly shorten the path switching response time of the mover during the shunt process, while avoiding signal interference problems that may occur in traditional electrical connection methods, ensuring that the shunt action of the mover within the first bifurcation stator 10 is accurate and reliable. In addition, this series connection method simplifies the wiring structure of the control system, reduces line maintenance costs, and enhances the operational stability of the first bifurcation stator 10 under complex operating conditions.

[0063] Reference Figure 2In another embodiment, the transmission line 100 further includes a third optical fiber line 60c and a fourth optical fiber line 60d. The third optical fiber line 60c connects the feed stator 31, the first branch stator 10, multiple temporary storage stators, the second branch stator 20, and the discharge stator 71 in series. The fourth optical fiber line 60d connects multiple straight-through stators 41 in series. This allows for better signal distribution and management based on the functional characteristics of the transmission line 100. The third optical fiber line 60c connects the feed stator 31, the first branch stator 10, multiple temporary storage stators, the second branch stator 20, and the discharge stator 71 in series, forming a main control link covering the entire process of material diversion, temporary storage, merging, and discharge, ensuring real-time signal synchronization between key functional sections. This wiring method allows the control system to flexibly schedule the transmission of the motors along different paths according to production needs. For example, when the temporary storage section 50 needs to buffer materials, the third optical fiber line 60c can quickly transmit instructions to the first branch stator 10 to adjust the diversion strategy. The fourth fiber optic line 60d is specifically responsible for connecting multiple straight-through stators 41 to construct a high-speed, stable linear signal transmission channel. Since the straight-through section 40 is the core transmission area, it needs to ensure the rapid and smooth movement of the mover. The independent configuration of the fourth fiber optic line 60d avoids signal interference from other functional sections, optimizes the coordinated control between stators within the straight-through section 40, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of long-distance linear transmission. When the mover is running at high speed in the straight-through section 40, the fourth fiber optic line 60d can ensure the precise synchronization of the magnetic field parameters of each stator, reducing speed fluctuations and energy loss.

[0064] This dual-line division of labor mode combines the advantages of functional modularity and signal isolation, meeting diverse control requirements under complex transmission paths while improving the performance of specific functional sections through independent fiber optic lines. Compared to a single-fiber-line solution, this design reduces the overall system signal latency, enhances adaptability to dynamic production scenarios, and allows for independent troubleshooting of different functional links during maintenance, further improving the system's maintainability and reliability.

[0065] In some embodiments, the transmission line 100 is a multi-layer transmission line, which includes an upper transmission line and a lower transmission line. The upper and lower transmission lines are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and both the upper and lower transmission lines include a feeding section 30, a first branching stator 10, a straight section 40, a temporary storage section 50, and a second branching stator 20. The feeding stator 31 located at the beginning of the feeding section 30 in the upper transmission line and the discharging stator 71 located at the end of the discharging section 70 in the lower transmission line are arranged vertically opposite each other.

[0066] The transmission line 100 also includes a first upper and lower connection mechanism 80, which includes a first upper and lower connection drive component 81 and a first upper and lower connection stator 82 disposed on the first upper and lower connection drive component 81. The first upper and lower connection drive component 81 is used to drive the first upper and lower connection stator 82 to move, so that the first upper and lower connection stator 82 moves upward and splices with the upper end stator or moves downward and splices with the lower beginning stator.

[0067] The first upper and lower connecting drive assembly 81 can be made of components such as electric cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, or linear motors. Electric cylinders convert rotary motion into linear motion via servo motors and ball screws, achieving high positioning accuracy. Pneumatic cylinders are driven by compressed air, resulting in a simple structure and low cost. Linear motors directly convert electrical energy into linear motion, providing rapid response. These drive assemblies can be paired with a position detection device and work in conjunction with a controller to drive the first upper and lower connecting stator 82, enabling it to connect upwards to the upper end stator or downwards to the lower beginning stator. Notably, the second upper and lower connecting mechanism can have the same structure as the first upper and lower connecting mechanism 80, using electric cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, or linear motors for convenient standardized manufacturing.

[0068] By incorporating a second upper and lower connecting mechanism, the upper and lower conveyor lines are designed for bidirectional connection. This creates a dual-loop material transport path between the upper and lower conveyor lines without increasing ground space requirements. This significantly improves the conveying efficiency and flexibility of conveyor line 100, and allows for flexible adjustment of material transport direction and flow according to production process needs, thereby greatly enhancing the space utilization and production adaptability of the entire conveying system.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the temporary storage stator includes a first linear stator 51, a first arc-shaped stator 52, a second arc-shaped stator 53, and a second linear stator 54 arranged sequentially along the transmission direction of the temporary storage section 50. The first linear stator 51 is spliced ​​to the second discharge end 13, and the second linear stator 54 is spliced ​​to the third feed end 22. This segmented structure design of the temporary storage stator, with the first linear stator 51 directly spliced ​​to the second discharge end 13 of the first bifurcated stator 10, provides a stable and straight initial transmission path for the moving part derived from the first bifurcated stator 10, enabling the moving part to enter the temporary storage section 50 at a smooth speed and posture. The first arc-shaped stator 52 connects to the first linear stator 51. Its arc-shaped structure guides the mover to smoothly change its direction of motion, avoiding sudden speed changes and energy loss caused by right-angle turns, ensuring the mover safely transitions into the internal area of ​​the temporary storage section 50. The second arc-shaped stator 53 works in conjunction with the first arc-shaped stator 52 to further adjust the mover's trajectory, preparing it for subsequent re-entry into the main transmission path. The second linear stator 54 connects to the second arc-shaped stator 53 and precisely splices with the third feed end 22 of the second bifurcation stator 20, providing a stable linear transmission channel for the mover. This allows the mover to enter the second bifurcation stator 20 with precise position and speed, successfully completing the merging operation with materials from other paths. This temporary storage stator structure, composed of a linear stator and an arc-shaped stator, not only meets the flexible scheduling requirements of the mover within the temporary storage section 50 but also reduces wear during the mover's transmission process through reasonable path planning, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the transmission system.

[0070] Optionally, the transmission direction of the mover pair at the second discharge end 13 is parallel to the transmission direction of the mover pair at the third feed end 22. This design makes the connection between the temporary storage section 50 and the preceding and following functional sections smoother, reducing energy loss and transmission delay caused by sudden changes in the mover's direction. There are multiple first linear stators 51, and these multiple first linear stators 51 are spliced ​​together along the transmission direction of the mover pair at the second discharge end 13. There are also multiple second linear stators 54, and these multiple second linear stators 54 are spliced ​​together along the transmission direction of the mover pair at the third feed end 22. Thus, the sequential splicing of multiple first linear stators 51 along the transmission direction of the second discharge end 13 extends the buffer distance for the mover to enter the temporary storage section 50, providing a stable initial transmission path for the mover. The splicing of multiple second linear stators 54 along the transmission direction of the third feed end 22 ensures that the mover maintains a stable motion state when leaving the temporary storage section 50, facilitating its precise entry into the second bifurcation stator 20 to complete the merging. By splicing multiple linear stators, the temporary storage section 50 can flexibly adjust its length to adapt to different production needs, enhance the stability of the mover transmission, and improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire transmission system.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the transmission direction of the moving part at the first feed end 11 is parallel to that at the first discharge end 12. This allows the moving part to smoothly transition to the first discharge end 12 after entering the first bifurcation stator 10 from the first feed end 11, avoiding speed fluctuations and energy loss due to abrupt changes in transmission direction and ensuring efficient and stable diversion. The transmission direction of the moving part at the second feed end 21 is parallel to that at the third discharge end 23. Furthermore, the parallel transmission directions of the moving parts at the second feed end 21 and the third discharge end 23 facilitate smoother merging of the moving parts within the second bifurcation stator 20, reducing the risk of collisions caused by directional adjustments during merging and ensuring stable material transmission after merging. This parallel transmission direction design optimizes the movement trajectory of the moving parts during bifurcation and merging, reduces ineffective turns in the transmission path, improves the overall operating efficiency and reliability of the transmission system, and facilitates precise docking and signal coordination control between components.
