[0056] Working Principle: During operation, the transport vehicle carrying the cabin approaches the mounting platform 1, for example, when it comes within approximately 1 meter. After the sensor component 10201 on the mounting platform 1 establishes communication with the sensors on the transport vehicle, the sensor component 10201 transmits the communication to the control room 7. The control unit then drives the protective door 501 to open automatically. The unloading device unloads the cabin onto the transport device on the mounting platform 1. After the unloading device stops unloading, the protective door 501 closes. At this point, the transport vehicle can leave for subsequent transport. The control room 7 identifies the cargo information read by the identification component 601 and confirms the cabin label information, determining the target deck level, such as deck 10. The control system is linked with the lifting rail 4. The shielding doors of all other deck levels are locked and closed, and the shielding door of deck 10 is also closed but not locked. After the transport device starts transporting, the inner enclosure door of the mounting platform 1 opens, followed by the opening of the electric door 10 of the lifting platform 2. The weighing platform 8 and the pusher 9 work together to transport the cargo onto the lifting platform 2. Figure 2 As shown, after the weighing platform 8 is placed on the lifting platform 2, the push plate 9 rotates under the action of the electric rotating rod 901 until it is perpendicular to the weighing platform 8. Under the action of the lead screw 903, the push plate 9 pushes the goods forward, providing space for the limiting plate 11. Then, under the action of the telescopic rod 12, the two limiting plates 11 move closer to the center of the front end of the goods. Subsequently, the lead screw 1202 and the drive motor 1203 drive the limiting plates 11 to move the goods closer to the center of the lifting platform 2, and remove the goods from the weighing platform 8, so that the weighing platform 8 and the push plate 9 return to their original positions. At this time, the electric door 10 is closed, and the control room 7 is instructed to start the lifting track 4, opening the compartment. Vertical transport to the target deck level, such as deck 10; before the lifting system starts lifting, the identification component 2 15 detects and determines whether there are personnel on the lifting platform. If there are, an audible and visual alarm is issued. Lifting begins only after it is confirmed that no one is present. After the lifting rail 4 lifts the lifting platform 2 to the target deck level, similar to the action mechanism of the guardrail when the transport vehicle approaches the loading platform 1, the shielding door opens. At the same time, an audible and visual alarm is issued to inform the personnel on the target deck level that they are in place. The push restriction plate 11 pushes the compartment to the target deck level. After the target deck level closes, the control platform issues a command, and the lifting platform 2 descends to the docking platform for subsequent vertical transport operations.

8. A marine intelligent vertical transportation method, implemented based on the marine intelligent vertical transportation system according to any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: The transport vehicle carrying the compartment approaches the mounting platform (1). After the sensor component 1 (10201) of the mounting platform (1) establishes communication with the sensor on the transport vehicle, the sensor component 1 (10201) transmits the communication to the control room (7), and the control unit drives the protective door (501) to open automatically. After the unloading device unloads the compartment to the transport device of the mounting platform (1), the unloading device stops unloading and the protective door (501) closes. At this time, the transport vehicle leaves to carry out subsequent transportation. Step 2: The control room (7) reads the cargo information from the identification component (601) and confirms the cabin label information, determines the target deck level, and the control system is linked with the lifting rail (4). The shielding doors of other deck levels are locked and closed, and the shielding door of the target deck is also closed and not locked. Step 3: After the transport device starts transporting, the inner guardrail of the platform (1) is opened, and then the electric door (10) of the lifting platform (2) is opened. The weighing platform (8) and the push plate (9) work together to transport the goods to the lifting platform (2). Then the limiting plate (11) moves the goods to the lifting platform (2). Step 4: The control room (7) designates the start of the lifting track (4) to vertically transport the cabin to the target deck level. Before the lifting system starts lifting, the identification component 2 (15) detects and determines whether there are personnel on the lifting platform (2). If there are, an audible and visual alarm is issued. Lifting will only begin after it is confirmed that there are no personnel. Step 5: After the lifting rail (4) lifts the lifting platform (2) to the target deck level, similar to the action mechanism of the guardrail when the transport vehicle approaches the loading platform (1), the shielding door opens and at the same time, it emits an audible and visual signal to inform the personnel on the target deck level to take their positions. The push restriction plate (11) pushes the cabin to the target deck level. After the target deck level closes, the control platform issues an instruction and the lifting platform (2) descends to the loading platform to carry out subsequent vertical transport operations.
