The moving unit is started to insert the fork tines into the fork grooves. After the item frame on the transport base is moved out of the storage shelf, the pushing unit is started to push the item frame on the transport base to the temporary storage area at the corresponding height. The lifting device is then started to adjust the height of the fork tines to correspond to the next transport base. The above steps are repeated to transport the item frame on the storage shelf to the temporary storage shelf and transport it to the sorting area in a unified manner, thereby improving the transportation efficiency.

[0008] Among them, the lifting device includes two lifting components, and the two lifting components are respectively located on both sides of the conveying plate.
