Step S200, the main driving member 130 drives the first conveying assembly 120 to operate, and the tray 400 and the product 500 on the first conveying assembly 120 are conveyed toward the second conveying assembly 220;

Step S300, a clutch driving assembly 340 drives a swing rod 320 to swing, and a swing gear 330 connected to the swing rod 320 swings to be meshed with a driving gear 230 on a target caching station 210, wherein a fixed gear 310 drives the swing gear 330 to rotate, the swing gear 330 drives the driving gear 230 to rotate, and the driving gear 230 drives a second conveying assembly 220 to work, and as the fixed gear 310 and the driving gear 230 reversely rotate, a tray 400 and a product 500 on a first conveying assembly 120 are transferred to the second conveying assembly 220 of the target caching station 210 from the first conveying assembly 120 for caching;

In step S400, after the tray 400 and the product 500 are transferred to the second conveying assembly 220, the clutch driving assembly 340 drives the swing rod 320 to swing, so that the swing gear 330 is separated from the driving gear 230, the driving gear 230 stops rotating, and the power source of the second conveying assembly 220 is disconnected.

In the above steps:

step S100, conveying the product 500 to be buffered onto the first belt conveyor 121, and then driving the sliding frame 115 and the first belt conveyor 121 by the first motor 113 to adjust to the same height as the second belt conveyor 221 in the target buffering station 210;

Step S200, the main driving member 130 drives the first belt conveying member 121 to work, the tray 400 and the product 500 start to move towards the second belt conveying member 221 along the horizontal direction, and the main driving member 130 drives the fixed gear 310 to rotate;

Step S300, the telescopic member 341 of the clutch driving assembly 340 drives the second guide rod 343 to extend towards the fixed gear 310, the second guide rod 343 pushes the swing rod 320 to swing, the swing gear 330 rotates with the output shaft of the main driving member 130 as a hinge shaft and rotates to be meshed with the driving gear 230 on the target cache station 210, so that the fixed gear 310 can synchronously drive the swing gear 330 to rotate when rotating, the swing gear 330 drives the driving gear 230 to rotate, and the driving gear 230 drives the second belt conveying member 221 to operate due to the reverse rotation of the fixed gear 310 and the driving gear 230, so that the tray 400 and the product 500 on the first belt conveying member 121 are transferred to the second belt conveying member 221;

In step S400, when the tray 400 and the product 500 are transferred onto the second belt conveying member 221 and completely enter the target buffering station 210, the telescopic member 341 drives the second guide rod 343 to retract, the connecting rod 344 pulls the swing rod 320 and the swing gear 330 to reset, the swing gear 330 is disengaged from the driving gear 230 of the target buffering station 210, the driving gear 230 stops rotating immediately, the power source of the second belt conveying member 221 is disconnected, and the tray 400 and the product 500 stay on the second belt conveying member 221 of the target buffering station 210 for buffering.

If the processing pressure of the product 500 at the rear end station is not high, the first wire 600, the first belt conveyer 121, the second belt conveyer 221 at the feeding station 210a, and the second wire 700 can form a continuous conveying path along which the tray 400 and the product 500 are conveyed to the rear end station.

In the foregoing, only the specific embodiments of the present application are described, and it will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that, for convenience and brevity of description, the specific working processes of the systems, modules and units described above may refer to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, which are not repeated herein. It should be understood that the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any equivalent modifications or substitutions can be easily made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present application, and they should be included in the scope of the present application.
