The carrying mechanism 4 includes a robot 41, a lift driving unit 42, a first horizontal driving unit 43, and a second horizontal driving unit 44. The robot 41 is used to pick up and place hard disks. The lifting driving assembly 42 is connected with the manipulator 41, and the lifting driving assembly 42 is used for driving the manipulator 41 to lift. The first horizontal driving assembly 43 is connected to the elevation driving assembly 42.
