[0024] The vehicle body 1 has four groups of running wheels 2 installed below the vehicle body 1. Each group of the running wheels 2 can be controlled individually. The four groups of running wheels 2 can cooperate to complete the actions of straight movement, lateral movement and rotation in place. A telescopic motor 3 is installed at the rear end of the lower surface of the vehicle body 1. The output end of the telescopic motor 3 is connected to a T-type reducer 4. The T-type reducer 4 is a hollow output type. A drive shaft 5 is installed in the hollow of the T-type reducer 4. Sprockets 16 are installed on both sides of the drive shaft 5. A chain 7 is sleeved on the sprocket 16. The other end of the chain 7 is sleeved on the sprocket 28. The sprocket 28 is installed on the rotating shaft of the first guide rail 9. A second guide rail 10 is slidably installed in the slide groove of the first guide rail 9. Cam followers 11 are arranged on the inner and outer sides of the second guide rail 10. The inner cam follower 11 is nested in The third guide rail 14 is in the slide groove, and the third guide rail 14 slides on the cam follower 11. Pulleys 12 are installed at the front and rear ends of the second guide rail 10. Steel ropes 13 are respectively passed through the wheel grooves of the pulleys 12. The fixed end of the steel rope 13 is installed on the first guide rail 9, and the movable end of the steel rope 13 is installed on the third guide rail 14. A fork base plate 15 is installed on the third guide rail 14, and a lifting motor 16 is installed on the fork base plate 15.

The bottom of the scissors fork 18 is slidably installed in the slide groove of the fork base plate 15, and the top of the scissors fork 18 is slidably installed in the slide groove of the jacking plate 19. The bottom of the fork base plate 15 is installed with a roller 20 for supporting walking.

[0025] Specifically, when the AGV travels to the picking position to perform the picking task, the telescopic motor 3 runs, driving the reducer 4 to rotate, thereby driving the drive shaft 5 to rotate, and the sprocket 16 rotates as the drive shaft 5 rotates. The rotation of the sprocket 16 drives the chain 7 to move, and the chain 7 drives the second guide rail 10 to extend. The second guide rail 10 transmits power to the third guide rail 14 through the pulley 12 and the wire rope 13. The third guide rail 14 extends, and the third guide rail 14 drives the fork structure to extend.

[0030] The traveling wheel 2 runs, and the vehicle body 1 moves out from under the cargo. At the same time, the telescopic motor 3 runs, driving the reducer 4 to rotate, thereby driving the drive shaft 5 to rotate. The sprocket 16 rotates as the drive shaft 5 rotates. The rotation of the sprocket 16 drives the chain 7 to move. The chain 7 drives the second guide rail 10 to extend. The second guide rail 10 transmits power to the third guide rail 14 through the pulley 12 and the wire rope 13. The third guide rail 14 extends, and the third guide rail 14 drives the fork structure to extend, so that the cargo is completely separated from the AGV body.

[0031] The lifting motor 16 runs, driving the ball screw 17 to rotate, and the ball screw 17 drives the scissors fork 18 to descend, and the lifting plate 19 descends accordingly, thereby driving the goods to rise and fall, and placing the goods at the target position.

[0032] The telescopic motor 3 runs, driving the reducer 4 to rotate, thereby driving the drive shaft 5 to rotate, and the sprocket 16 rotates as the drive shaft 5 rotates. The rotation of the sprocket 16 drives the chain 7 to move, and the chain 7 drives the second guide rail 10 to retract.
