• and
• a driving assembly comprising a driving source and a driving member, the driving source being in non-contact driving connection with the driving member, and the driving member being mounted to the article carrying assembly;
• and the driving assembly being configured to drive the conveyor belt to move in a second direction,
• wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect each other;
• wherein the article carrying assembly further comprises:
• a carriage configured to be strip-like;
• rollers arranged at two ends of the carriage;
• and
• a driving belt in driving connection with the rollers and configured to drive the rollers to rotate, the driving belt being fixedly connected to the driving member,
• wherein the conveyor belt is in driving connection with the rollers and is configured to be driven by the rollers;
• wherein a diameter of a middle portion of each roller is smaller than respective diameters of two ends of the roller, the middle portion of the roller is in driving connection with the driving belt, and the two ends of the roller are in driving connection with the conveyor belt;
• or
• wherein the rollers comprise:
• a first roller rotatably mounted to the carriage and in driving connection with the driving belt;
• and
• a second roller rotatably mounted to the carriage and driven coaxially with the first roller, a diameter of the first roller being smaller than that of the second roller;
• and the second roller being in driving connection with the conveyor belt.
