[0022] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cage car disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a bottom frame 1, a support part 2 arranged at the bottom of the bottom frame 1, a mounting plate 3 arranged on the side wall of the bottom frame 1, and a fence 4 installed on the top of the bottom frame 1. By adding a support part to the bottom frame 1, it is used to adapt to the three-dimensional storage robot to lift the goods with a lifting fork. At the same time, the support part adopts a reinforced pipe 21 arranged at intervals, which can facilitate the forklift operation of the forklift, thereby achieving stable high-position lifting.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3Specifically, the support part includes a reinforcing tube 21 arranged at intervals just below the bottom frame 1, and a connecting block 22 for connecting the reinforcing tube 21 and the bottom frame 1. The reinforcing tube 21 is a square tube structure, and there are three reinforcing tubes 21, which are arranged at intervals below the bottom frame 1. A fork spacing 5 is left between adjacent reinforcing tubes 21, so that the fork of the forklift can be inserted from the left and right directions of the cage truck, which is convenient for the forklift to carry out the forklift operation, so as to achieve stable high-position lifting and meet the use requirements.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In addition, the cage trolley also includes casters 11 installed on the bottom frame 1, and there are four casters 11, which are respectively located at the corners of the bottom frame 1. During installation, the bottom end of the reinforcement tube 21 is located above the bottom end of the caster 11, which does not affect the normal use of the cage trolley on the ground. When the cage trolley is used on the shelf of the three-dimensional storage, the three-dimensional storage robot is controlled to move on the track of the shelf; due to the space limitation on the shelf, the three-dimensional storage robot can only be inserted from the front and rear directions of the cage trolley to the position directly below the three reinforcement tubes 21, so that the three-dimensional storage robot can use the lifting fork to lift the cage trolley for transportation, which meets the use requirements. In addition, in other application scenarios, such as when the cage trolley is used on the ground, the ground is paved with tracks for the movement of the three-dimensional storage robot; due to the lack of space limitation, the three-dimensional storage robot can be controlled to be inserted from the left and right directions of the cage trolley to the bottom of the reinforcement tube 21 or the fork spacing 5, so that the three-dimensional storage robot can use the lifting fork to lift the cage trolley for transportation, which also meets the use requirements.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are multiple connection blocks 22 located on the same reinforcement tube 21, and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the reinforcement tube 21 to enhance the connection strength between the bottom frame 1 and the reinforcement tube 21. During assembly, the top and bottom of the connection block 22 are welded to the bottom end of the bottom frame 1 and the top end of the reinforcement tube 21, respectively.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 In addition, the cage car also includes a mounting plate 3 assembled on the horizontal side wall of the bottom frame 1; in the embodiment of the present application, there are two mounting plates 3, and the two mounting plates 3 are installed on the bottom frame 1 at intervals, and the installation positions of the two mounting plates 3 are not on the same horizontal line.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the mounting piece 3 is generally in an "L"-shaped structure. The mounting piece 3 includes an L-shaped plate 31 fixed to the side wall of the bottom frame 1 and an extension plate 32 installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 31. A working tag 6 is installed on the top of the extension plate 32 at a position away from the bottom frame 1 for identification and reading. In addition, one working tag 6 is assembled corresponding to one mounting piece 3.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The working tag 6 used in this application is an RFID tag, and an RFID reader / writer is configured on the three-dimensional storage robot; when the three-dimensional storage robot is located below the mounting plate 3 to transport the cage car, the position of the RFID reader / writer corresponds to the installation position of the RFID tag. In addition, two groups of RFID tags are designed to be placed on the bottom frame 1, so that the three-dimensional storage robot can read the RFID tag information when transporting the cage car in both the front and rear directions. In other embodiments, the working tag 6 can also be other tags such as barcodes, QR codes, and visual recognition, and the three-dimensional storage robot can be equipped with corresponding identification and reading devices.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 In addition, in order to facilitate the storage and access of goods in the cage car, a movable door 41 is rotatably connected to one side of the fence 4. One side of the movable door 41 is hingedly connected to the fence 4, and the other side is equipped with a door lock for easy opening and closing. The assembly method of the movable door 41 is a relatively common installation method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
