Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0031] This embodiment provides a double-layer seedling pallet AGV, with a vehicle body 1 and a column 811. The column 811 is vertically installed on the vehicle body 1, and a first bracket 5 and a second bracket 7 that are parallel to each other in the horizontal direction are provided on the column 811.

[0032] The feeding telescopic fork 3 is used to drive the first pallet 9 and the second pallet 810 to move in the horizontal direction;

[0033] The lifting device includes a first lifting device 2 and a second lifting device 8. The first lifting device 2 is used to drive the feeding telescopic fork 3 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, and the second lifting device 8 is used to drive the second bracket 7 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the first bracket 5 is provided with a first tray 9, and the second bracket 7 is provided with a second tray 810. The first bracket 5 is mounted on the column 811 and cannot be moved. The second bracket 7 is mounted on the column 811 through a second telescopic device and can move up and down through the second telescopic device. Both the first bracket 5 and the second bracket 7 are composed of two parallel rectangular rod structures. The tray is placed on the two spaced rectangular rods, supporting the bottom sides of the tray. The tray is used to place goods. The feeding telescopic fork 3 is located in the center of the tray. The feeding telescopic fork 3 drives the tray to detach from the bracket and move in the horizontal direction.

[0035] In use, the second bracket 7 can be driven up and down by the second lifting device 8 to adjust the position of the second bracket, place the second pallet 810 on the second bracket 7 on the feeding telescopic fork 3 and send it to the designated position. It can also be adjusted to handle different goods during transportation. When transporting goods with a certain height, the height of the second bracket 7 can be increased to increase the distance between the two brackets. When transporting heavy goods, the height of the second bracket 7 can be lowered to lower the center of gravity and improve the stability during transportation.

[0036] When delivering goods on a pallet to a designated location, the first lifting device 2 first raises the feeding telescopic fork 3 so that it contacts the first pallet 9 on the first bracket 5. Then, the first lifting device 2 raises the first pallet 9 so that it detaches from the first bracket 5. The first pallet 9 is then pushed out to the designated location. The feeding telescopic fork 3 and the first telescopic device retract to their initial positions, the second bracket 7 is lowered, and the second pallet 810 on the second bracket 7 is pushed to the designated location as described above, thus completing the feeding process. Example 2

[0037] This embodiment provides a double-layer seedling pallet AGV based on Embodiment 1, with the following differences:

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, there are two uprights 811 on the vehicle body 1, which are arranged parallel to each other and vertically spaced apart. The first lifting device 2 is installed on the vehicle body 1, and the second lifting device 8 is installed on the uprights 811. The feeding telescopic fork 3 is driven by the first lifting device 2 to move up and down, thereby realizing the ejection of the pallet on the bracket.

[0039] like Figure 4As shown, the first lifting device 2 includes a lifting motor 201, a lifting mechanism 202, a mounting platform 203, and a moving platform 206. The mounting platform 203 is mounted on the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. Both the lifting mechanism 202 and the lifting motor 201 are mounted on the mounting platform 203. The output end of the lifting mechanism 202 is connected to the lower surface of the moving platform 206. A worm gear type lifting mechanism 202 or a screw type lifting mechanism 202 can be used. The lifting mechanism 202 is driven to lift by the lifting motor 201.

[0040] Two sets of guiding devices are also provided between the installation platform 203 and the mobile platform 206, located on both sides of the installation platform 203 respectively. The guiding devices include guide posts 205 and guide sleeves 204. The guide sleeves 204 are set on the installation platform 203. One end of the guide post 205 is set on the lower surface of the mobile platform 206, and the other end extends into the guide sleeves 204 and extends into the interior of the installation platform 203.

[0041] The upper surface of the mobile platform 206 is equipped with a feeding telescopic fork 3, which can be composed of an existing motor and telescopic mechanism.

[0042] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the second lifting device 8 includes a first linear module 801 and a second linear module 802. The first linear module 801 and the second linear module 802 are respectively mounted on two columns 811. The second linear module 802 is connected to a drive motor 805 through a first coupling 803 and a reducer 804, thereby driving the slider on the linear module to move on the slide rail. The reducer 804 is installed inside a motor cage 806. The drive motor 805 and the motor cage 806 are mounted on a mounting plate, which is installed on the upper end of the column where the second linear module 802 is located. Both ends of the first linear module 801 and the second linear module 802 are mounted on the two columns 811 through a first fixed seat 812 and a second fixed seat 817.

[0043] The second linear module 802 is connected to the first linear module 801 via a second coupling 807, a drive shaft 808, and a third coupling 809. Both ends of the drive shaft 808 are connected to the second linear module 802 and the first linear module 801 via the second coupling 807 and the third coupling 809, respectively. An upper limit sensor 815 and a lower limit sensor 816 are respectively installed at both ends of the second linear module 802. A sensor baffle 814 is provided on the slider of the second linear module 802. The upper limit sensor 815 and the lower limit sensor 816 detect the sensor baffle 814 to determine the position of the slider on the guide rail. The first linear module 801 and the second linear module 802 achieve synchronous movement through the connection of the drive shaft 808 and the two couplings. The second bracket 7 consists of two parallel crossbeams 813, one end of which is respectively connected to the sliders on the first linear module 801 and the second linear module 802. A second tray 810 is placed on the second bracket 7. The second bracket 7 moves up and down by moving a slider on the guide rail.

[0044] A first sensor 4 is provided on the first bracket 5 to detect whether there is a tray on the first bracket 5. A second sensor 6 is provided at the end of the second bracket 7 away from the second lifting device 8 to detect whether there is a tray on the second bracket 7.

[0045] In use, the first lifting device 2, the second lifting device 8, and the feeding telescopic fork 3 are controlled and driven by the control system. Data collected by sensors on these devices precisely controls the ejection of the pallet and the height and position of the second bracket 7. Specifically: when the trolley reaches the designated position during feeding, the feeding process begins. First, the status of the first sensor 4 determines whether the second pallet 810 is on the first bracket 5. If the second pallet 810 is present, the first lifting device 2 raises the feeding telescopic fork 3, causing the first pallet 9 to detach from the first bracket 5. The feeding telescopic fork 3 then ejects the first pallet 9. After the pallet is in place, the first lifting device 2 lowers and places the first pallet 9, completing the feeding process. The feeding telescopic fork 3 then returns to its initial position.

[0046] The second sensor 6 determines whether there is a second tray 810 on the second bracket 7. If there is a second tray 810, the second bracket 7 lowers to place the second tray 810 onto the feeding telescopic fork 3. After the first lifting device 2 raises and lifts the second tray 810, the feeding telescopic fork 3 moves forward to feed the second tray 810 to the elevator. After the tray is in place, the first lifting device 2 lowers and lowers the second tray 810, the feeding telescopic fork 3 returns to its initial position, and the second tray 810 lifting platform rises back to its initial position.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
