The specific arrangement manner of the carrier spacing mechanism 600 may not be limited, for example, the carrier spacing mechanism 600 may be a retractable stop structure, or the like, alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 3, in this embodiment, the carrier spacing mechanism 600 includes a first clamping member 610, a second clamping member 620, and a clamping driver 630, where the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 are disposed at intervals in the width direction of the first conveying line 100; the clamping driver 630 is coupled with the first clamping member 610 in a power coupling manner, and is used for driving the first clamping member 610 to move along the width direction of the first conveying line 100; in the case where the first clamping member 610 is at the clamping position, the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 clamp the fixing carrier 300 in the width direction of the first conveying line 100.

Specifically, the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 are disposed on the first frame 140, and the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 are located above the first conveying body 130. The first clamping member 610 is opposite to the second clamping member 620 in a side-to-side manner, and the clamping driver 630 is capable of driving the first clamping member 610 in a side-to-side motion to move the first clamping member 610 toward and away from the second clamping member 620. In the case that the first clamping member 610 is at the release position, the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 are respectively located on the right side and the left side of the first conveying body 130, the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 do not limit the carrier 300 on the first conveying body 130, and the carrier 300 can normally pass through the unloading station 110 backward. If the first conveying body 130 conveys the carrier 300 to the unloading station 110, the clamping driver 630 drives the first clamping member 610 to approach the second clamping member 620, and the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 can clamp the top of the carrier 300 left and right under the condition that the first clamping member 610 is at the clamping position, so as to realize the centering of the carrier 300 at the unloading station 110. The second clamping member 620 may be fixedly disposed on the first frame 140, and the second clamping member 620 may also be capable of moving left and right.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the first clamping member 610 and the second clamping member 620 are both located above the first baffle plate 121, so that the first baffle plate 121 does not interfere with the motion of the carrier spacing mechanism 600.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the shape of the portion of the first clamping member 610 and/or the second clamping member 620 for abutting against the carrier 300 is adapted to the shape of the carrier 300, so that the carrier spacing mechanism 600 has a better spacing effect on the carrier 300.

Optionally, referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the top side of the carrier 300 is provided with a sensing portion 320 in a protruding manner, and the unloading station 110 is provided with a sensor 640 for being triggered by the sensing portion 320.

Specifically, when the carrier 300 is placed on the first conveyor line 100, the top of the carrier 300 protrudes upward beyond the two first baffles 121, the top of the carrier 300 protrudes leftward and/or rightward with the sensing portion 320, and the sensing portion 320 protrudes laterally beyond the first baffles 121. The sensor 640 is disposed on the first rack 140 upwards, and when the first conveyor line 100 conveys the carrier 300 loaded with materials to the unloading station 110, the sensing portion 320 on the carrier 300 is located directly above the sensing portion 320, so as to trigger the sensing portion 320, and the actions of the first conveyor line 100, the carrier limiting mechanism 600 and the material handling mechanism 400 can be controlled according to the trigger signal of the sensing portion 320.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the vehicle circulating and transporting device 1000 further includes a controller (not shown in the figure), and the controller is electrically connected to the first conveying line 100, the second conveying line 200, the material conveying mechanism 400, the vehicle conveying mechanism 500, the vehicle limiting mechanism 600, and the sensor 640, so as to control the motion of the vehicle circulating and transporting device 1000 by the controller, thereby realizing the circulating and transporting of the vehicle 300.

Specifically, when the carrier circulating and transporting device 1000 works, the carrier 300 loaded with the material is placed on the first conveyor line 100, when the carrier 300 loaded with the material is transported backwards to the unloading station 110 through the first conveyor line 100, the sensor 640 is triggered by the sensing part 320 on the carrier 300, the controller controls the first conveyor line 100 to stop moving according to the triggering signal of the sensor 640, and controls the carrier limiting mechanism 600 to clamp the carrier 300, at this time, the material handling mechanism 400 grabs the material from the carrier 300 and then transports the material to the next station; after the carrier spacing mechanism 600 is controlled to loosen the empty carrier 300 at the unloading station 110, the first conveying line 100 continues to convey the empty carrier 300 back to the conveying station 150, so that the carrier conveying mechanism 500 forks the empty carrier 300 at the conveying station 150; finally, the empty carrier 300 is transported to the second conveyor line 200 by the carrier transporting mechanism 500, and then the empty carrier 300 is transported forward to other stations by the second conveyor line.

According to the carrier circulating and transporting device 1000 provided by the utility model, when the carrier 300 loaded with the materials is placed on the first conveying line 100 in operation, the carrier 300 loaded with the materials is transported to the position of the material transporting mechanism 400 through the first conveying line 100, the material transporting mechanism 400 transports the materials from the carrier 300 to the next station, the empty carrier 300 is transported to the second conveying line 200 through the carrier transporting mechanism 500, and then the empty carrier 300 is transported to other stations through the second conveying line 200, so that the circulating and transporting of the carrier 300 is realized, and the carrier circulating and transporting device 1000 is convenient to use, and can ensure the assembling precision and efficiency.

It will be apparent that the embodiments described above are merely some, but not all, embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art may make other different changes or modifications without making any creative effort, which shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
