1. A vacuum pipeline magnetic levitation conveying device, comprising:
a vacuum pipeline, a train, three fixed tracks and a plurality of sites; wherein the plurality of sites are sequentially connected through the vacuum pipeline; the three fixed tracks are parallel to each other and disposed in the vacuum pipeline, and the three fixed tracks each extend along an extension direction of the vacuum pipeline; the three fixed tracks together define a circumscribed circle, and the three fixed tracks are evenly distributed at an angle of 120° from each other on the circumscribed circle;
the train is disposed in the vacuum pipeline, a body of the train is provided with three moving tracks, the three moving tracks are parallel to each other and evenly distributed around the train; and the three moving tracks correspond to the three fixed tracks one by one, and the three moving tracks are respectively coupled to the three fixed tracks in a magnetic levitation manner;
wherein each of the three moving track comprises: a convex part, each of the three fixed track defines a through groove with an opening facing towards the convex part, the convex part is matched with and engaged in the through groove to form a moving and fixed track coupling part, and the moving and fixed track coupling part has a ball-and-socket structure; and
the convex part is provided with a superconductor, the through groove is provided with a permanent magnet therein, and an interaction between the superconductor and the permanent magnet makes the moving track be coupled with the fixed track in a magnetic levitation manner.
