The side of the first conveying line 3 is provided with a plurality of feeding stations 31 at intervals, the feeding stations 31 in this embodiment are connected with a production workshop of a factory through other conveying lines, finished sofa products sent out from the production workshop are conveyed to the feeding stations 31 to be transported, the first shuttle 2 transports the empty part on the left carrying station 21 to the feeding station 31 waiting for the finished sofa products through left-right transverse movement and places the empty part on the feeding station 31 through extending fork transportation, then one side of the feeding station 31 places the sofa on the empty part manually or mechanically, and the first shuttle 2 moves left to enable the right carrying station 21 to correspond to the feeding station 31, and places trays (hereinafter referred to as actual trays) loaded with the sofa on the right carrying station 21 through extending fork transportation to wait for outward transportation. Further, in order to improve the fluency of conveying, on the basis of having a plurality of feeding stations 31, the work flow can be as follows: the empty support is provided for one feeding station 31 waiting for the empty support, and the empty support is directly operated to another feeding station 31 which forms a solid support to take out the solid support, so that the time for waiting for loading the empty support can be further saved, and the operation efficiency is improved. The outside of the central station 1 on the right side is provided with a second conveying line 5, the second conveying line 5 is provided with a second shuttle car 6 which runs on the second conveying line, after the first shuttle car 2 loaded with the real support runs back to the central station 1, the real support is transferred to the second shuttle car 6 in a mechanical transfer mode, and the tail end of the second conveying line 5 is connected with a logistics warehouse, so that the sofa can be put in storage after production is completed. The conveying is carried out through the first shuttle 3 at the double stations, the empty support and the real support are divided into two paths at the central station 1 serving as the intersection for carrying out respective picking and placing conveying, and when the empty support and the real support stay at the central station 1, the left one of the two carrying stations 21 on the first shuttle 3 supports the real support on the second conveying line 5 and then conveys the real support to the intelligent warehouse through the second shuttle 6. The other carrying station 21 is used for receiving the empty support from the empty support supply station 4, so that the empty support is realized without mutual interference, and the efficiency and the channel utilization rate are greatly improved. Further, the first conveying line 3 may be connected to an upstream warehouse, and the second conveying line 5 may be connected to an outlet, so that the handling system can be applied in a modularized manner in the whole warehousing system.

In this embodiment, an empty pallet conveyor 41, which is a generally-used horizontal chain conveyor, is disposed between the central station 1 on the left side and the empty pallet replenishment station 4, the empty pallet replenishment station 4 is disposed over the front end of the empty pallet conveyor 41, and the empty pallet conveyor 41 receives the empty pallet delivered from the empty pallet replenishment station 4, conveys the empty pallet to the front of the first shuttle 2 by chain conveying, and allows the first shuttle 2 to obtain the empty pallet by forking of the carrying station 21.

In this embodiment, the tray replenishment station includes a tray detaching machine 42, a lifter 43, and an empty tray collecting machine 44, which are connected in this order from downstream to upstream. That is, above the empty tray conveyor 41 is the tray detaching machine 42, and the tray detaching machine 42 places the detached empty tray above the empty tray conveyor 41 by detaching the tray downward for conveyance; a lifting machine 43 is positioned on the tray disassembling machine 42, the lifting machine 43 is a general chain type or synchronous belt type vertical lifting machine, and the lifting machine carries the tray to the tray disassembling machine 42 for storage through a chain type conveying line connected between the lifting machine and the lifting machine after the tray is lifted; upstream of the lift 44 is an empty tray recovery machine 44, which comprises at least a chain conveyor line connected to a lift 43 on which empty trays of finished products or empty trays left after the sofa is delivered can be placed for downstream transport by hand or fork truck or the like during operation, and in this embodiment also comprises a fork-extending device fixed at the end of the chain conveyor line on the side of the second conveyor line 5, so that the empty trays for delivering the sofa can be automatically recovered from the second shuttle 6 running on the second conveyor line 5.
