The number and direction of the detection portions are set with reference to the length of the transmission device, the height of the driven member, and the moving distance. The position of the detection part can also be set according to actual conditions, as long as the detection part can be used for detecting the relative position between the driven part and the driving transmission part. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 3, the detection portion 103 is provided on the stopper portion 104.

In some embodiments, if the detection portion detects that a part of the driven member is in contact with the driving transmission portion, a first signal is sent to the control portion; the control part controls the driving transmission part to start according to the first signal, and drives the driven part to move along the transmission direction; if the driven member moves to a preset position along the transmission direction, the detection part sends a second signal to the control part; the control part controls the driving transmission part to stop according to the second signal, and the driven part is static relative to the driving transmission part.
For example, an infrared distance measuring sensor is used as the detection unit, and the detection unit is provided at the forefront of the drive transmission unit. When a driven part is placed on a transmission device by manual or automatic equipment, if the distance between the infrared distance measuring sensor and the driven part (the distance between the infrared distance measuring sensor and the driven part is detected by the infrared distance measuring sensor and serves as an index for representing the relative position between the driven part and a driving transmission part) is at the set maximum distance, the infrared distance measuring sensor sends a PLC signal for starting the driving transmission part to a control part, the control part controls a driving power component (such as a motor) to rotate according to the PLC signal, and the driving power component rotates to drive a transmission chain component to rotate, so that the driven part is driven to move forwards; when the infrared distance measuring sensor detects that the distance between the driven part and the infrared distance measuring sensor reaches the set minimum distance, the infrared distance measuring sensor sends a PLC signal for stopping driving the transmission part to the control part, the control part controls the driving power component (such as a motor) to stop rotating according to the PLC signal, and the driven part is static relative to the driving transmission part.
When the contact of a part of the driven member with the driving transmission part is detected, the driving transmission part is controlled to rotate through the control part, the driven member is driven to a proper position of the driving transmission part, the driven member can be prevented from falling off from the transmission device, and the driven member is convenient to take and place.
In other embodiments, a plurality of the drive transmission portions are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction;
for any one preceding drive transmission part, if the detection part on the preceding drive transmission part detects that no driven part exists on the preceding drive transmission part, a third signal is sent to the control part;
and the control part controls the rear driving transmission part to start according to the third signal, and the driven part driving the rear driving transmission part moves to the front driving transmission part along the transmission direction.
According to the embodiment of the invention, after the driven part on the front driving transmission part is taken away, the driven part on the rear driving transmission part is sequentially moved forwards, so that the dequeuing function of the combined device is realized, the moving distance of an automatic forklift, especially an AGV forklift, is reduced, and the complexity of a moving route is reduced. In addition, the dequeue and enqueue functions provided by the transmission device provided by the embodiment of the invention only need to be operated at two ends of the transmission device by workers or automatic equipment, and the operation is convenient.
