The transport platform 1 is provided with a transport structure 2 for transporting goods. When the goods are placed on the transport structure 2, the transport structure 2 can transport the goods to another truck cargo box. The driving mechanism includes a first driving component and a second driving component. The first driving component is connected to the transport platform 1. When the goods need to be transferred, the first driving component drives the transport platform 1 to rotate in a direction away from the truck cargo box until it is parallel to the horizontal direction. At this time, it is in the transport state. The goods can be placed on the transport structure 2. The second driving component is connected to the transport structure 2 to drive the transport structure 2 to transport the goods. After the goods are transferred, the first driving component drives the transport platform 1 to rotate in a direction close to the truck cargo box until it is perpendicular to the horizontal direction. At this time, it is in the placement state.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transport platform 1 is a rectangular plate with a transport structure 2 disposed on its top surface. The transport structure 2 is a roller.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the pull rod 3 is rotatably connected to the side of the truck cargo box, and the transport platform 1 is provided with a slide 4. The lower end of the pull rod 3 is slidably connected to the slide 4. When the pull rod 3 rotates, the lower end of the pull rod 3 can move along the guide direction of the slide 4. When the pull rod 3 is driven by an external force to rotate in a direction away from the truck cargo box, the lower end of the pull rod 3 slides in the slide 4 in a direction away from the truck cargo box, and the pull rod 3 applies a pulling force to the transport platform 1, causing the transport platform 1 to rotate parallel to the horizontal direction; when the pull rod 3 is driven by an external force to rotate in a direction close to the truck cargo box, the lower end of the pull rod 3 slides in the slide 4 in a direction close to the truck cargo box, and the pull rod 3 applies a pulling force to the transport platform 1, causing the transport platform 1 to rotate perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the slide 4 is provided on the front side of the transport platform 1 .

[0037] In other optional embodiments, the chute 4 may be provided on the upper end surface or the lower end surface of the transport platform 1 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the invention further comprises: a limiting structure, which is provided on the transport platform 1 and is suitable for limiting the position of the pull rod 3 in the transport state.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the transport platform 1 is in the transport state, the limiting structure provided on the transport platform 1 can limit the pull rod 3 to prevent the pull rod 3 from rotating, so that the transport platform 1 remains in the transport state.

[0043] In some embodiments, the limiting structure is arranged on the upper end surface of the transport platform 1, and the limiting structure is located at the top of the slide 4 at one end away from the truck cargo box. The limiting structure includes a locking tongue 5 and a limiting hole 6. One end of the limiting hole 6 is connected to the slide 4. When in the transport state, the locking tongue 5 is suitable for extending into the slide 4 along the other end of the limiting hole 6 under the drive of external force and abutting against the pull rod 3.

The lower end of the limiting hole 6 is connected with the slide 4, and the lower end of the locking tongue 5 is arranged in the limiting hole 6. When the transport platform 1 is in the transport state, the locking tongue 5 can be driven by an external force to extend into the slide 4 along the limiting hole 6 and abut against the lower end of the pull rod 3, thereby preventing the pull rod 3 from rotating; the locking tongue 5 can be driven by an external force to extend out of the slide 4 along the limiting hole 6, so as to release the limitation on the pull rod 3 and the pull rod 3 can be rotated.

[0045] In some embodiments, the limiting structure also includes a support 7 and a connecting member 8. The support 7 is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the transport platform 1. The connecting member 8 is rotatably connected to the support 7. The side of the connecting member 8 away from the support 7 is fixedly connected to the lock tongue 5. The connecting member 8 rotates toward the direction close to the transport platform 1 to drive the lock tongue 5 into the slide groove 4.

[0047] In some embodiments, a counterweight 9 is provided on the locking tongue 5 .

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a counterweight block 9 is provided on one side of the lock tongue 5. When the transport platform 1 is in the transport state, the counterweight block 9 will move vertically downward due to its own gravity. The counterweight block 9 drives the lock tongue 5 to move vertically downward, and the counterweight block 9 drives the connecting piece 8 to rotate. Driven by the counterweight block 9, the lock tongue 5 extends into the slide groove 4 along the limiting hole 6. After the lower end surface of the counterweight block 9 abuts against the upper end surface of the transport platform 1, the lock tongue 5 stops moving.

[0049] In some embodiments, the connecting member 8 includes two arms 10, which are constructed as a V-shaped structure. The connection between the two arms 10 is hinged to the support 7. The side of any arm 10 away from the other arm 10 has a pressing portion 11, the limiting hole 6 is located below any pressing portion 11, and one end of the lock tongue 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressing portion 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting member 8 includes two arms 10, and the two arms 10 are constructed as a V-shaped structure.

The lock tongue 5 extends into the slide groove 4 along the limiting hole 6 under the drive of the counterweight block 9. When the limit needs to be released, press the pressing portion 11 on the right to drive the connecting member 8 to rotate, so that the lock tongue 5 extends from the slide groove 4 to release the limit on the pull rod 3.

[0051] In other optional embodiments, the limiting hole 6 is located below the pressing portion 11 of the right support arm 10, and the upper end of the locking tongue 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the right pressing portion 11. The locking tongue 5 extends into the slide groove 4 along the limiting hole 6 under the drive of the counterweight block 9. When the limit needs to be released, the pressing portion 11 on the left is pressed to drive the connecting part 8 to rotate, so that the locking tongue 5 extends from the slide groove 4, thereby releasing the limit on the pull rod 3.

[0052] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the pull rod 3 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 4 through the slider 12.
