The installation compartment 2 fits against the surface of the shelf 12 and can push and slide the storage box 14 on the surface of the shelf 12 when it is placed. Under the action of the two sets of installation compartments 2, the storage box 14 can be limited to move between the two.

[0028] Furthermore, there are two sets of installation compartments 2 and upright plates 22, which are set on both sides of the storage box 14. The surface of the guide plate 21 is arc-shaped, and there are two sets of guide plates 21. The two sets of guide plates 21 are installed on both sides of the installation compartment 2. Under the action of the guide plates 21, the storage box 14 can be guided, thereby making the placement of the storage box 14 smoother and more convenient.

[0029] Furthermore, the first sleeve 23 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second sleeve 24. The outer diameter of the second sleeve 24 is the same as the inner diameter of the first sleeve 23. Two sets of sliding grooves 25 and sliders 26 are provided. The two sets of sliding grooves 25 are opened on both sides of the first sleeve 23, and the two sets of sliders 26 are provided on both sides of the second sleeve 24. The sliders 26 are installed on the surface of the sliding grooves 25. The first sleeve 23 and the second sleeve 24 are each provided with four sets and are respectively installed at the four ends of the installation chamber 2 and the upright plate 22. The connection between the first sleeve 23 and the second sleeve 24 can be realized by the connection of the sliding grooves 25 and the sliders 26, thereby realizing the connection between the installation chamber 2 and the upright plate 22.

[0030] Furthermore, one end of the support spring 27 is abutted and connected to the surface of the installation chamber 2, and the other end of the support spring 27 is abutted and connected to the surface of the upright plate 22. The diameter of the connecting shaft 28 is the same as the inner diameter of the rotating cylinder 29. Both ends of the connecting shaft 28 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the installation chamber 2, and the rotating cylinder 29 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 28. The support spring 27 can make the two sets of installation chambers 2 always tend to move closer to each other. The connecting shaft 28 and the rotating cylinder 29 have the same length. During the process of the staff removing the storage box 14, the rotating cylinder 29 can rotate on the connecting shaft 28 and roll on the surface of the storage box 14 at the same time, thereby making the removal of the storage box 14 smoother and reducing friction.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the shelf 12 is provided with a blocking mechanism, which includes a side plate 3. The side plate 3 is attached to the surface of the storage box 14. The surface of the side plate 3 is provided with a connecting groove 31. The surface of the transport rack 1 is fixedly connected with a threaded block 32. The surface of the threaded block 32 is equipped with a nut 33. The surface of the nut 33 is fixedly connected with a turning rod 34. There are two sets of side plates 3 located on both sides of the shelf 12 and attached to the storage box 14. The side plates 3 can protect the storage box 14 when the device is moved, and when it is taken out, the side plates 3 are placed below the shelf 12 so that they do not hinder the use of the storage box 14.

[0032] Furthermore, the length of the side plate 3 is greater than the length of the shelf 12. There are two sets of connecting grooves 31 and threaded blocks 32. The two sets of connecting grooves 31 are opened on both sides of the side plate 3, and the two sets of threaded blocks 32 are installed on both sides of the transport frame 1. The threaded blocks 32 are inserted into the surface of the connecting grooves 31. With the connection of the connecting grooves 31 and the threaded blocks 32, the connection between the side plate 3 and the transport frame 1 can be realized, thereby realizing the installation effect of the side plate 3. At the same time, the connecting grooves 31 are connected to the surface of the side plate 3 through the threaded blocks 32.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the threaded block 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transport frame 1, and the other end of the threaded block 32 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the nut 33. The nut 33 is abutted against the surface of the side plate 3. Two sets of screwing rods 34 are provided, and the two sets of screwing rods 34 are installed on both sides of the nut 33. The position of the side plate 3 can be limited and fixed by the nut 33. The surface of the screwing rod 34 is arc-shaped, which can improve the comfort of the operator when using it. And the rotation of the screwing rod 34 can drive the nut 33 to move together.

[0034] Working principle: When the storage box 14 is placed on the surface of the storage plate 12 of the transport device, the storage box 14 is first placed between the two guide plates 21 and inserted therein. After being squeezed, the installation chamber 2 moves towards the upright plate 22, so that the first sleeve 23 slides on the surface of the second sleeve 24, so that the slider 26 slides on the surface of the slide groove 25, while the support spring 27 is in a compressed state. At this time, the rotating cylinder 29 rotates around the connecting shaft 28 and rolls on the surface of the storage box 14 as it moves and contacts the storage box 14 continuously. Finally, the storage box 14 is placed between the two installation chambers 2 and squeezed and clamped under the support force provided by the support spring 27.

[0035] Before the transport device moves, place the two sets of side plates 3 on both sides of the storage plate 12 and align the connecting groove 31 with the threaded block 32 so that the threaded block 32 is inserted into the connecting groove 31 and penetrates the surface of the side plate 3. Then align the inside of the nut 33 with the threaded block 32 and rotate the screwing rod 34 so that the nut 33 is connected to the surface of the threaded block 32 by threads. At this time, move the side plate 3 along the direction of the connecting groove 31 so that it is higher than the horizontal position of the storage plate 12. Finally, rotate the nut 33 again to tighten it and press it against the surface of the side plate 3 to complete the installation of the side plate 3 and achieve the blocking and protection of the storage box 14.
