[0014] Preferably, the hanging card is made of an elastic steel sheet, and the top end of the hanging card is injection-molded and mounted on the rear side wall of the expansion interface seat;

[0015] Among them, the setting of the hanging card material makes it easy to use its own elasticity to be installed on the carriage during installation, thereby ensuring stability during installation.

[0016] Preferably, the hanging card is a side U-shaped card, and the inner wall of the hanging card is closely attached to the inner wall of the top side of the AGV carriage;

[0017] Among them, the setting of the hanging card shape utilizes the inner convex part to increase the interaction force between it and the car body, further ensuring the clamping effect.

[0018] Preferably, the expansion interface seat is assembled by two groups of half rectangular shells through fastening bolts.

[0019] The utility model provides an AGV trolley expansion interface. It has the following beneficial effects:
