[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the aerial rail transport vehicle 30 is connected under the bogie assembly 20 of the aerial rail 10, and can move along the aerial rail 10 to transport the material box 3, and the bogie assembly 20 can be used to control the steering of the aerial rail transport vehicle 30; the connection between the center beam 11 and the two pillow beams 12 strengthens the overall strength of the frame assembly 1, and the suspension assembly 2 is used to suspend the material box 3, so that the material box 3 can move with the aerial rail transport vehicle 30. By setting a gap between the opening 31 and the center beam 11 for loading materials in the material box 3, the loading of materials can be completed without unloading the material box 3, thereby improving the efficiency of material loading.

[0043] In some embodiments, the suspension assembly 2 includes: two suspension arms 21 , the two suspension arms 21 are respectively connected to two ends of the bolster 12 and are located below the bolster 12 , and are used to suspend the material box 3 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the suspension arm 21 is connected to the bottom of the pillow beam 12 and suspends the material box 3. The longer the suspension arm 21 is, the larger the distance between the opening 31 and the middle beam 11 is. The material loading can be completed without unloading the material box 3 through the distance between the material box 3 and the middle beam 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, abutment portions 32 are provided at both ends of the material box 3, and a locking portion 22 and an abutment rod 23 are provided at one end of the suspension arm 21 away from the pillow beam 12. The abutment rod 23 is connected between the suspension arms 21, the abutment rod 23 is used to abut under the abutment portion 32, and the locking portion 22 is used to lock the material box 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, the abutment rod 23 abuts below the abutment portion 32 to complete the suspension of the material box 3, so that the aerial rail transport vehicle 30 drives the material box 3 to move. Specifically, the locking portion 22 is connected below the abutment portion 32 to complete the locking of the material box 3, preventing the material box 3 from detaching from the suspension assembly 2.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the locking portion 22 is rotatably connected to the suspension arm 21 , and the abutment or release of the abutment portion 32 can be completed by rotating the locking portion 22 , so as to facilitate the loading or lowering of the material box 3 .

Specifically, the bottom of the end of the end beam 17 is higher than the bottom of the end of the bolster 12 to prevent the end beam 17 from interfering with the components on the bolster 12.

[0060] In some embodiments, a tie rod seat mechanism 111 is provided near the connecting hole 13 of the center beam 11, and the tie rod seat mechanism 111 includes a traction tie rod seat (not shown), which is connected to a traction tie rod seat (not shown) fixed on the bogie assembly 20 via a traction rod (not shown), thereby increasing the connection mode between the bogie assembly 20 and the frame assembly 1, making the connection between the bogie assembly 20 and the frame assembly 1 more stable, and facilitating the movement and rotation of the frame assembly 1 through the bogie assembly 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bolster 12 further includes two groups of vehicle body ground supports 121, and the two groups of vehicle body ground supports 121 are respectively located at one end of the bolster 12 away from the middle beam 11, so as to facilitate the landing of the aerial rail transport vehicle 30.
