[0021] An external parking structure for AGV vehicles, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the system includes a first connecting component 1, a second connecting component 2, and a support mechanism. The support mechanism is positioned between the first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2. The first connecting component 1 is positioned above and connected to the second connecting component 2. The first connecting component 1 and the second connecting component 2 cooperate to fix the support mechanism to the side of the support plate 6 of the AGV chassis, forming an external parking structure. The support plate 6 is located on the side of the AGV chassis. The support plate 6 is an important stress-bearing position for the support frame of the base plate 21. The support plate 6 has a clearance opening 61. The first connecting component 1 is connected to the surface of the support plate 6, and the second connecting component 2 is inserted into the clearance opening 61. The support mechanism includes an electric push rod assembly and a support foot 5. The electric push rod assembly includes a push rod module 3 and a motor 4. The push rod module 3 typically contains a worm gear and a push rod. The motor 4 is located on the side of the push rod module 3 and drives the push rod to move up and down through the worm gear transmission. The support foot 5 is welded or threaded to the bottom of the push rod in the push rod module 3. Connection: The first connecting component 1 is connected to the middle part of the push rod module 3; the second connecting component 2 is connected to the lower part of the push rod module 3 and abuts against the bottom of the motor 4; the first connecting component 1 includes a cover plate 11 and a connecting plate 12. The cover plate 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111. After the top of the push rod module 3 passes through the mounting hole 111 of the cover plate 11, its middle part abuts against the cover plate 11 and is fixed by screws to connect the two; the connecting plate 12 is provided on one side of the cover plate 11 and is perpendicular to the cover plate 11. The connecting plate 12 and the cover plate 11 are connected. The connecting plate 12 is connected and fixed to the support plate 6 by connecting bolts. The bottom edge of the connecting plate 12 is located above the relief opening 61, so that the second connecting component 2 can be inserted into the relief opening 61. Two reinforcing plates 13 are provided between the cover plate 11 and the connecting plate 12. The two reinforcing plates 13 are located on the left and right sides of the top of the push rod module 3. The two reinforcing plates 13 are arranged in parallel and are welded to the cover plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 to reinforce the connecting plate 12 and make the connecting plate 12 more stable.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] This embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further defines the second connecting component 2, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second connecting assembly 2 includes a base plate 21, a baffle 22, and a set of side plates 23. The base plate 21 has an L-shaped cross-section and a through hole. The push rod in the push rod module 3 extends from below the through hole. The base plate 21 abuts against the bottom of the push rod module 3 to further fix the push rod module 3. The baffle 22 is located at the end of the base plate 21 and is welded to the end of the base plate 21. The two side plates 23 are located on the two sides of the base plate 21, and are welded to the base plate 21 and the baffle 22, respectively. The height of the side plates 23 is less than the height of the motor 4 to facilitate heat dissipation of the motor 4. The base plate 21, the baffle 22, and the two side plates 23 cooperate to form a surrounding structure at the bottom of the electric push rod assembly, which can provide heat dissipation for the motor 4 and the push rod module 3.
