The surface of the driving box 210 is provided with a wheel 211, and the surface of the wheel 211 is in sliding contact with the surface of the high-altitude frame 100. The surface of the conveying pallet 300 is fixedly installed with a protection frame 311 and a number of lifting rods 320. The top surface of the protection frame 311 is fixedly installed with a material tray 312. The output end of the lifting rod 320 is rotatably installed with a conveying ball 321. The surface of the tray seat 310 is fixedly installed with a number of feeding motors 340, and the inner side of the protection frame 311 is provided with a driving ball 330. The output end of the feeding motor 340 is in friction contact with the surface of the driving ball 330.
[0028] In this embodiment, the lifting rod 320 is an electric telescopic rod structure, and the top of the lifting rod 320 passes through the surface of the material tray 312. The top of the lifting rod 320 is provided with a spherical groove and the conveying ball 321 is rotatably sleeved on the inner side of the spherical groove.
[0029] Specifically, when the lifting rod 320 is pushed out, the conveying ball 321 protrudes from the top surface of the material tray 312 to support the material, and cooperates with the driving ball 330 to roll to transport the material.
[0030] In this embodiment, a felt pad is provided on the top surface of the material tray 312 , and an anti-slip cover is provided on the outer periphery of the driving ball 330 .
[0031] Specifically, the felt pad on the surface of the material tray 312 improves the contact friction with the material to prevent the material from sliding and falling off, and the contact effect between the driving ball 330 and the material is improved by improving the surface friction performance of the driving ball 330.
[0032] In this embodiment, the driving ball 330 is an elastic airbag spherical structure, and a ball wheel is movably mounted on the inner side of the protection frame 311 to abut against the surface of the driving ball 330 .
[0033] Specifically, the driving ball 330 is positioned by the protection frame 311 , and the driving ball 330 is supported by the ball wheel to ensure the rotation effect of the driving ball 330 .
[0034] In this embodiment, there are four feeding motors 340 arranged in a cross shape. The feeding motor 340 includes a motor and a wheel fixed to the output end of the motor. The wheel frictionally contacts the surface of the driving ball 330 .
[0035] Specifically, the feeding motors 340 are driven by the plurality of feeding motors 340 to rotate inside the protection frame 311 , and the driving balls 330 are synchronously driven by the plurality of feeding motors 340 to rotate, thereby achieving multi-directional compound motion of the driving balls 330 .
[0036] In this embodiment, the surface of the material tray 312 is provided with through holes for the driving balls 330 and the conveying balls 321 to pass through, and the feeding motors 340 are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the retaining frame 311 in the circumferential direction of the annular shaft.
[0037] In this embodiment, the traveling gear 230 and the wheel 211 are respectively located on both sides of the high-altitude frame 100. There are two high-altitude frames 100 and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tray seat 310.

[0038] Specifically, the moving motor 220 drives the internal traveling gear 230 of the driving box 210 to rotate, so that the driving box 210 slides on the surface of the rack rail 110 to transport and deliver the materials.
[0039] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0040] During operation, the aerial automated transport vehicle drives the internal traveling gear 230 of the driving box 210 to rotate by the moving motor 220, so that the driving box 210 slides on the surface of the rack rail 110 to transport and deliver the materials. During the material transportation, the lifting rod 320 retracts to keep the conveying ball 321 in a non-ejecting state, that is, the material is in frictional contact with the surface of the protection frame 311, thereby preventing the material from sliding and falling off due to the inertia of the conveying tray 300. The entire transportation process operates autonomously, realizing fast, accurate and safe transportation of the goods. During the loading and unloading work, the lifting rod 32 0 The driving conveying ball 321 is ejected as a sliding support structure for the material. In the synchronous opposite driving of multiple driving balls 330, each driving ball 330 is rotated along the radial direction of the tray seat 310, so that after the material contacts the driving ball 330, the material is gathered along the center of the tray seat 310 for loading. Alternatively, the driving ball 330 can be driven by a part of the feeding motor 340 to rotate in a certain direction to transport the material in one direction, so that the material moves to the surface of the tray seat 310 or leaves the surface of the tray seat 310, thereby assisting in loading and unloading the material and improving work efficiency.
