Specifically, the support 621 is used for supporting the driving assembly 130, and the length of the support 621 in the second direction is equal to the length of the driving assembly 130 in the second direction, or the difference between the length of the support 621 in the second direction and the length of the driving assembly 130 in the second direction is less than or equal to 50mm, thereby facilitating the second detecting assembly 120 to detect whether the turnover box 200 is located at the unsafe position.

In some embodiments, a controller may also be provided on the robot 300. The present disclosure is not limited with respect to the location of the controller.

In the present disclosure, the transfer mechanism 620 further includes a controller and at least one second detection assembly 120, and the second detection assembly 120 detects whether the transfer container 200 is located at the unsafe position, and when the second detection assembly 120 detects that the transfer container 200 is located at the unsafe position, the controller controls the transmission assembly 130 to transmit along the + Y direction or the-Y direction in fig. 8, so as to move the transfer container 200 into the safe position, thereby preventing the transfer container 200 from falling off the transfer mechanism 620 due to a deviation of the placement position when the transfer container 200 is placed on the transmission assembly 130.

In some embodiments, the number of the second detecting members 120 is at least two, wherein at least two second detecting members 120 are respectively disposed at two ends of the support 621. When the first end 200a of the turnover box moves to the first end 621c of the support, the turnover box 200 tends to extend out of the support 621, and the first second detecting element 120a can detect the turnover box 200, at this time, the controller can control the transmission element 130 to transmit in the-Y direction, so that the turnover box 200 moves towards the second end 621d of the support, so as to move the turnover box 200 into the support 621. When the second end 200b of the turnover box moves to the second end 621d of the support, the second detecting assembly 120b can detect the turnover box 200, and at this time, the controller can control the transmission assembly 130 to transmit in the + Y direction, so that the turnover box 200 moves toward the first end 621c of the support, and the turnover box 200 is moved into the support 621. Thus, the turnover box 200 can be prevented from falling off the transfer mechanism 620.

The second detecting element 120 may be a reflective photoelectric sensor, which is not affected by the shape, color and material of the object to be detected and is easy to install.

It should be noted that the timing for detecting whether the turnover box 200 is located at the unsafe position by the second detecting assembly 120 may be during the loading of the elevator 600 or when the elevator 600 is in a stationary state. The second inspection assembly 120 may stop the inspection operation while the lift 600 transports the totes 200 between the stockers.

In another embodiment, the number of the second detecting member 120 may be one, the second detecting member 120 may be located on the support 621, and the detecting area formed by the second detecting member 120 covers at least a part of the support 621. The second detecting element 120 may be a light curtain sensor. The detection area formed by the light curtain sensor can be matched with the turnover box 200, and when the turnover box 200 partially extends out of the detection area formed by the second detection assembly 120, the controller can control the transmission assembly 130 to transmit towards the-Y direction or the + Y direction, so that the turnover box 200 is located in the detection area formed by the second detection assembly 120. Thus, the turnover box 200 can be prevented from falling off the transfer mechanism 620.
