After reaching the specified position, the material box can move forward in four directions, front, back, left and right, through the forward and reverse rotation of the first omnidirectional wheel assembly 1 and the second omnidirectional wheel assembly 2. The principle is the same when the material box enters the equipment from the transverse direction 8, so it will not be repeated.

[0025] Furthermore, a plurality of second middle cross braces 5 are connected to the bottom between the mounting side plates 3 on both sides, and a power assembly 6 is fixed to the second middle cross brace 5 and provides power for the second omnidirectional wheel assembly 2 .

[0026] Furthermore, the first omnidirectional wheel assembly 1 is powered by an externally docked conveyor.

[0027] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting seats 401 are fixed on the first middle cross brace 4 , and the driving shaft 202 of each set of second omnidirectional wheel assemblies 2 is mounted on the mounting seat 401 .

[0028] The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that the first omnidirectional wheel assembly 1 is composed of a plurality of first omnidirectional wheels 101 equidistantly mounted on a shaft 103, both ends of the shaft 103 are mounted on the mounting side plate 3 through a first bearing seat assembly 104, and a first multi-V belt pulley 105 is mounted near both ends of the shaft 103 for transmission.

[0035] The side panels 3 are installed mainly to provide support points for the installation of the first omnidirectional wheel assembly 1.
