The invention relates to a conveying device for an object and to a conveying system designed using magnetic levitation technology with such a conveying device. The conveying device comprises a mover, which is movable relative to a movement surface of the conveying system, and a receptacle which can be connected to the mover. According to the invention, the mover comprises a locking unit and the receptacle comprises a counter-locking unit, which are arranged to be in locking engagement with one another in a locking direction. The locking unit further comprises at least one contact surface and the counter-locking unit comprises at least one counter-contact surface, which in the connected state are in form-fitting contact with one another in at least one form-fitting direction which is different from the locking direction.

A deformable item stabilizer tray is described for stabilizing an item during conveyance and transport. The deformable item stabilizer tray includes a base adapted to support an article and a plurality of sidewalls surrounding and extending at an angle from the base. A first notched-out region in a first one of the sidewalls defines a first lip support region having at least one indent configured to control a deformation of the lip above the first lip support region. A second notched-out region in a second one of the sidewalls defines a second lip support region having at least one indent configured to control a deformation of the lip above the second lip support region. The first notched-out region and the second notched-out region may be on opposite ones of the sidewalls.

Disclosed are article loading and unloading equipment and an article loading and unloading system, relating to the field of logistics machinery, for improving the performance of article loading and unloading equipment. The article loading and unloading equipment comprise a base assembly, a cantilever assembly and a conveying assembly. The base assembly is configured to provide support. The cantilever assembly comprises a first bracket assembly and a first conveyor, the first bracket assembly being mounted to the base assembly; and the first conveyor being mounted to the first bracket assembly. The conveying assembly comprises a second bracket assembly, a second conveyor and a suction cup assembly, the second bracket assembly being mounted to the first bracket assembly, the second conveyor being mounted to the second bracket assembly, and the suction cup assembly being rotatably mounted to the second bracket assembly; and the suction cup assembly being configured to adsorb an article to the second conveyor. A conveying direction of the first conveyor and a conveying direction of the second conveyor are the same. The article loading and unloading equipment provided in the above technical solution does not need to change directions in the process of conveying the article, so the continuity of conveying operations is improved and the conveying efficiency is increased.
