[0030] The "left", "right", "front", "rear", "upper" and "lower" mentioned in the following description are oriented in the perspective direction of the front view.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Please refer to the attached specification Figure 1 , a shuttle vehicle for an automated stereoscopic warehouse capable of automatically loading goods, comprising a vehicle body 1, a lifting platform 2 and a material supporting platform 3;

[0033] The lifting platform 2 is movably installed inside the vehicle body 1, and a stability enhancing mechanism 4 capable of changing the inclination of the material supporting platform 3 is installed between the lifting platform 2 and the material supporting platform 3. A locking mechanism 5 for cooperating with a forklift is further provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 1.

[0034] In the present utility model, the vehicle body 1 moves on the track through wheels, and the height of the material supporting table 3 is adjusted by the lifting platform 2 to lift the goods from the shelf and move them away, or place the goods on the shelf to achieve the automatic loading function; when the material supporting table 3 is loaded with goods, the vehicle body 1 is started to drive the goods to move. While the vehicle body 1 is moving, the stability increasing mechanism 4 adjusts the inclination of the material supporting table 3 to make the material supporting table 3 incline towards the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1; when the goods reach the set position, the vehicle body 1 stops moving. While the vehicle body 1 stops, the stability increasing mechanism 4 makes the material supporting table 3 incline in the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1; thus, the stability of the goods is increased under the cooperation of the central control and the stability increasing mechanism 4, so that the vehicle body 1 can avoid tipping due to inertia during the movement of the goods at a relatively high moving speed, and the transfer efficiency of the goods is improved; when the vehicle body 1 needs to change floors in the three-dimensional shelf, the forklift inserts the insertion rod into the bottom of the vehicle body 1 to lift the vehicle body 1, and the locking mechanism 5 is started to lock the insertion rod of the forklift, so as to ensure the stability of the vehicle body 1 and prevent the vehicle body 1 from falling due to accidental situations such as collision and shaking during the floor changing operation, greatly increasing the safety of the cooperation operation between the vehicle body 1 and the forklift.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] As Figure 2 、 4 shown in FIGS. 5, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, an anti-slip layer for increasing the friction force is provided on the material supporting table 3.

[0037] The stability increasing mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41, a driving component and an auxiliary limiting component. One end of the support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 2, and the other end of the support frame 41 is hinged to the material supporting table 3; a driving component and an auxiliary limiting component are arranged between the stability increasing mechanism 4 and the lifting platform 2.

[0038] The driving component includes a motor 42, a bracket 43, a screw rod 44, a movable block 45, a connecting plate 46 and an adjusting plate 47. The bracket 43 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 2, the screw rod 44 is rotatably connected to the bracket 43 through a bearing, the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the bracket 43, and the output end of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 44; the movable block 45 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 44 through a threaded sleeve and is slidably connected to the bracket 43 in a limited manner; the adjusting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the material supporting table 3; both ends of the connecting plate 46 are rotatably connected to the movable block 45 and the adjusting plate 47 respectively.

[0039] The auxiliary limiting component includes a chute 48, a slider 49, a fixing plate 410 and a connecting seat 411. The connecting seat 411 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 2, and a chute 48 is formed on the connecting seat 411; the fixing plate 410 is fixedly connected to the material supporting table 3, and a slider 49 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 410; the slider 49 is slidably connected to the chute 48 in a limited manner.

[0040] The support frame 41 is hinged to the middle of the material supporting table 3, the adjusting plate 47 is fixedly connected to one end of the material supporting table 3, and the fixed plate 410 is fixedly connected to the other end of the material supporting table 3.

[0041] In the present utility model, starting the motor 42 drives the screw rod 44 to rotate. The screw rod 44 drives the movable block 45 to move under the limiting action of the bracket 43. Then, through the connecting plate 46 and the adjusting plate 47, the material supporting table 3 is pulled or lifted, so that the material supporting table 3 rotates through the support frame 41, realizing the adjustment of the inclination of the material supporting table 3. While the material supporting table 3 rotates, the fixed plate 410 at the other end of the material supporting table 3 drives the slider 49 to move. The slider 49 slides in the chute 48 of the connecting seat 411, which is used for limiting the movement of the material supporting table 3 and assisting in supporting the material supporting table 3 to ensure that the material supporting table 3 has high load-bearing performance.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0043] As Figure 3 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, two sets of locking mechanisms 5 are provided and are symmetrically distributed on the left and right at the bottom of the vehicle body 1.

A limit slot 51 for placing the forklift insertion rod is opened at the bottom of the vehicle body 1. An installation slot 52 is also opened at the bottom of the vehicle body 1, and a locking component is arranged in the installation slot 52.

[0045] An elastic trigger 55 for controlling the operation of the locking component is arranged in the limit slot 51.

[0046] The locking component includes a limit plate 53 and a push rod 54. The push rod 54 is fixedly installed in the installation slot 52. A limit plate 53 is fixedly installed at the output end of the push rod 54, and the limit plate 53 is slidably connected to the installation slot 52 with limits.

[0047] In the present utility model, the insertion rod of the forklift is inserted into the limit slot 51 at the bottom of the vehicle body 1 to realize the preliminary fixation of the vehicle body 1. The insertion rod lifts the vehicle body 1. When the insertion rod completely presses the elastic trigger 55 into the limit slot 51, the push rod 54 drives the limit plate 53 to move under the limiting action of the installation slot 52, blocking the insertion rod in the limit slot 51. Thus, when the vehicle body 1 collides or shakes, it will not fall off the insertion rod, ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present utility model.
