[0027] Reference Figure 2The limiting component includes a limiting post 11, the outer wall of the limiting post 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting ring 6, the outer wall of the limiting post 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the U-shaped frame 4, the outer wall of the limiting post 11 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 12, and the inner wall of the spring 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting post 11.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting component can limit the movement of the limiting ring 6.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the unmanned vehicle body 1 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped seat 13, and a rotating block 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped seat 13; a fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating block 14, and a U-shaped seat 2 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating block 14; a connecting strip 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped seat 2 16; an electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the unmanned vehicle body 1, and a support rod 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 18; a U-shaped block 3 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod 19; and the outer wall of the connecting strip 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped block 3 20.

[0031] Working principle: In use, the short column 7 is first slid into the inner wall of the traction ring 3 of another unmanned vehicle body 1. Then, the limiting ring 6 is moved towards the limiting piece 21. During the movement, the limiting ring 6 will cause the spring 5 to contract under force, and at the same time, the limiting column 11 will be passively slid inside the limiting ring 6. After the limiting ring 6 has completely slid past the slot 10 on the outer wall of the rotating column 9, the rectangular block 8 is slid into the inner wall of the slot 10 by the short column 7. Then, no more pressure is applied to the limiting ring 6, which causes the spring 5 in the contracted state to rebound and push the limiting ring 6 back to slide at the connection between the outer walls of the rotating column 9 and the short column 7. This can realize the convenient docking of multiple unmanned vehicle bodies 1, which is conducive to enhancing the batch transportation capacity, improving transportation efficiency, improving the continuity of the production line, and meeting different transportation requirements.

[0032] After the goods to be transported are loaded, the electric push rod 18 is activated to move the support rod 19 upward, which in turn moves the U-shaped block 20 upward. During the upward movement of the U-shaped block 20, the connecting strip 17 rotates on the inner wall of the U-shaped block 20 and on the inner wall of the U-shaped seat 2 16. At the same time, the U-shaped seat 2 16 drives the rotating block 14 to rotate on the inner wall of the U-shaped seat 13 and simultaneously drives the fixing plate 15 to rotate. When the fixing plate 15 rotates to be perpendicular to the horizontal loading surface of the unmanned vehicle body 1, the goods loaded on the unmanned vehicle body 1 can be fixed, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the loaded goods, maintaining their stability during transportation, reducing damage to the goods, preventing the goods from falling, improving transportation safety, and increasing transportation efficiency.
