[0085] Specifically, as shown in the attached figure Figure 1As shown, the guide bracket 12 is provided with a plurality of guide rails 121 on one side close to the object-carrying assembly 2, and the guide rails 121 are matched in the guide grooves (not shown in the drawings) on the side of the object-carrying assembly 2, so as to realize the guiding function. As required, the guide groove can be set to a structure in which the width of the groove opening is smaller than the width inside the groove, and the shape of the radial cross section of the guide rail 121 matches the shape of the guide groove, so that the guide rail 121 can be further limited in the radial direction with the guide groove to prevent the two from accidentally disengaging.

[0086] Furthermore, the guide bracket 12 is constructed as a plate-like structure, a loading space is formed between the two guide brackets 12, a material inlet and outlet 4 connected to the loading space is formed between the same ends of the two guide brackets 12 in a direction parallel to the chassis 11, and one end of the loading component 2 partially extends out of the material inlet and outlet 4.

[0087] Specifically, as shown in the attached figure Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide bracket 12 is a plate-shaped structure as a whole, and a loading space for accommodating the loading assembly 2 is formed between the two guide brackets 12. One side of the loading space is a material inlet and outlet 4 formed between the ends of the two guide brackets 12. The material inlet and outlet 4 is used to allow materials to enter and exit when transporting materials. In this embodiment, one end of the loading assembly 2 corresponding to the material inlet and outlet 4 partially extends out of the material inlet and outlet 4, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 As shown, the purpose of such a design is that the portion of the carrier component 2 extending out of the material inlet and outlet 4 can be directly docked with the corresponding transfer workbench, for example, can be directly placed on the workbench, so that during docking, the workbench can be used to provide auxiliary support to the carrier component 2, especially to support the docking point, to avoid the transport device tipping over due to the lack of effective support when the material is transferred to the docking point.

[0088] In addition, as required, material inlets and outlets 4 can be provided on opposite sides of the cargo space, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown; or as needed, a material inlet and outlet 4 is provided only on one side of the cargo space.

[0089] Furthermore, the height adjustment assembly 3 includes a synchronous belt 31 and a first pulley 32 and a second pulley 33 respectively engaged at both ends of the synchronous belt 31, the first pulley 32 is arranged on the top of the guide bracket 12 away from the chassis 11, and the second pulley 33 is arranged on the bottom of the guide bracket 12 close to the chassis 11; wherein, a connecting member is provided on the synchronous belt 31, the connecting member is fixedly connected to the side of the loading assembly 2, and the second pulley 33 is connected to a driving motor 34 arranged on the chassis 11.

[0090] Specifically, as shown in the attached figure Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the height adjustment component 3 adopts a belt structure, and the belt structure is arranged on the guide bracket 12 in a direction perpendicular to the chassis 11 of the frame 1, including a first pulley 32 on the top, a second pulley 33 on the bottom, and a synchronous belt 31 matched with the two pulleys. The synchronous belt 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the object-carrying component 2 through a connecting piece. The second pulley 33 is driven by the driving motor 34, so that the synchronous belt 31 can be driven to drive the object-carrying component 2 to move up and down.

[0091] Preferably, the height adjustment components 3 are respectively arranged on the guide brackets 12 matched with the two sides opposite to the object carrying component 2. The two height adjustment components 3 are controlled by linkage to realize synchronous operation.
