When the work piece holder 200 is aligned with the coating furnace 300, the material transfer connection 441 can be extended to feed the work piece holder 200 into the coating furnace 300. At this time, the workpiece holder 200 can be connected to the coating furnace 300 through the coating connection part and the coating connection end 210, and the moving connection part 441 is disconnected from the moving connection end 220 and retracted from the coating furnace 300, so that the workpiece holder 200 is transferred from the moving device 400 to the coating furnace 300, and the loading operation of the workpiece holder 200 is achieved.

When the workpiece rest 200 needs to be fed, the material moving connecting part 441 extends into the film plating furnace 300 and is connected with the material moving connecting end 220, and the film plating connecting part is disconnected with the film plating connecting end 210, so that the workpiece rest 200 can be transferred from the film plating furnace 300 to the material moving device 400, and the material moving connecting part 441 drives the workpiece rest 200 to be moved out of the film plating furnace 300, thereby realizing the feeding operation of the workpiece rest 200.
