[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model proposes a vehicle compatible with multiple scenarios, including a vehicle body 100, wherein the vehicle body 100 is provided with a walking component 300 and a supporting component 200.

[0026] Specifically, the carrier body 100 is made of high-strength, lightweight materials, with a stable structure and easy handling. The carrier body 100 is designed with sufficient load-bearing area and strength to accommodate goods of different sizes and weights. The traveling assembly 300 is located at the bottom of the carrier body 100 and includes multiple flexibly steerable casters 320 or directional casters 310. This allows the carrier to be easily pushed and pulled on a horizontal surface, meeting the needs of manual handling. Simultaneously, the material and structure of the traveling assembly 300 are designed for wear resistance and durability to withstand long-term, high-intensity use. The support assembly 200 is located at the bottom of the carrier body 100, adjacent to the traveling assembly 300. The support assembly 200 includes multiple support columns or blocks, the height of which is precisely calculated to ensure that when the carrier body 100 is placed on a shelf or transport rail, the support assembly 200 can stably support the carrier body 100, creating a certain gap between its bottom and the shelf or rail. The width and height of the gap are both greater than the dimensions of the AGV body, ensuring that the AGV can pass through smoothly and lift the vehicle body 100 to achieve automated handling.

[0027] By integrating the walking component 300 and the supporting component 200, the vehicle body 100 can simultaneously meet the needs of manual handling, rack storage, and use with AGVs, greatly improving the vehicle's versatility and flexibility. The gap formed at the bottom of the vehicle facilitates AGV lifting operations, achieving seamless docking between the vehicle and AGVs and promoting the process of logistics automation. The design of the supporting component 200 allows for a gap between the bottom of the vehicle and the rack when stored on the rack, or it can be placed on the track of transport equipment for easy transfer, improving warehouse space utilization and logistics efficiency. Furthermore, by optimizing the design and material selection of the supporting component 200, the stability and durability of the vehicle are improved, reducing maintenance costs and usage risks.

[0028] In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 may be disposed on the upper surface of the carrier body 100. Specifically, the edge of the support assembly 200 is provided with multiple hooking structures. On both sides of the long side, a hook is provided every 20cm. The hooks are made of metal and are fixed to the edge of the support assembly 200 by welding for attaching to the rails of the rack or transport device. On both sides of the short side, retractable hooking rods are provided. The hooking rods are made of aluminum alloy and are installed on the edge of the support assembly 200 via a slide rail structure. They can extend or retract as needed to accommodate racks or transport devices of different sizes.

[0029] In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 is composed of structures such as telescopic rods or telescopic columns. The telescopic support assembly 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the rack, making full use of the vertical space of the warehouse and increasing the storage capacity of goods. Furthermore, the height of the support assembly 200 can be quickly adjusted in different height environments to adapt to various handling equipment and scenarios, improving the efficiency and flexibility of goods handling.

[0030] In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 includes a plurality of first support columns 210, which are fixedly installed on the bottom of the carrier body 100. The first support columns 210 are made of high-strength metal material, and their bottom ends are specially treated to form a flat contact surface with a certain degree of friction, for direct contact with a support surface, such as a shelf or transport track surface. The first support columns 210 are firmly fixed to the bottom of the carrier body 100 by welding or bolting, ensuring that they will not loosen during carrier use. The first support columns 210 have a simple structure, are easy to install, and can provide stable support for the carrier body 100, reducing the risk of failure caused by complex structures.

[0031] It should be noted that the shape of the first support column 210 can be a cylinder, a square column, or a triangular prism. The first support column 210 can be fixed to the vehicle body 100 by welding, riveting, bolting, or other methods.

[0032] Furthermore, the vehicle body 100 is designed in a rectangular shape, with a first support column 210 set at each of its four corners. The four first support columns 210 are of the same size and material, ensuring the vehicle body 100 is horizontally stable during placement through precise positioning and installation. The height of each first support column 210 is precisely calculated to ensure that a suitable gap is formed at the bottom for the AGV vehicle to pass through when the vehicle body 100 is placed on a shelf or transport track. It is understood that placing the first support columns 210 at the four corners ensures that the vehicle body 100 is subjected to even force during placement, preventing deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress. Furthermore, the four support points form a stable support structure, effectively preventing the vehicle from tilting or tipping over during placement or movement, thus improving the vehicle's stability and safety.

[0033] In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 further includes a plurality of second support posts 220 located at the bottom of the carrier body 100. Each second support post 220 consists of two pillars and a crossbar connecting the bottom ends of the two pillars; that is, the second support post 220 is U-shaped, and the crossbar's shaft abuts against the support surface. The crossbar design increases the contact area with the support surface, improving the stability of the carrier, especially suitable for carrying heavy loads.

[0034] Optionally, the column may be hollow to reduce weight while ensuring sufficient strength. The surface of the crossbar is treated with an anti-slip coating to increase friction with the supporting surface. The second support column 220 is bolted to the bottom of the carrier body 100 for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0035] Furthermore, the vehicle body 100 is provided with two opposing second support columns 220, which are located at the center of the edge of the vehicle body 100. The two second support columns 220 are identical in size and structure and are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the vehicle body 100. During installation, precise measurements and adjustments are made to ensure that the heights of the two second support columns 220 are consistent, thus guaranteeing the levelness of the vehicle body 100 when placed. It is understood that the two opposing second support columns 220, located at the center of the edge, provide balanced support for the vehicle body 100, making the vehicle more stable when placed. Compared to setting multiple support points at the bottom of the vehicle body 100, the design of two second support columns 220 saves space and facilitates the storage and movement of the vehicle on shelves and transport tracks.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 includes a first support column 210 and a second support column 220, and the carrier body 100 has a long side. The first support column 210 is located at both ends of the long side, and the second support column 220 is located in the middle of the long side. The heights of the first support column 210 and the second support column 220 are carefully designed to ensure that a suitable gap is formed when the carrier body 100 is placed. During installation, the position of the first support column 210 is determined first, and then the position of the second support column 220 is determined according to the size and weight distribution of the carrier body 100 to ensure the stability of the carrier. It is understood that the combined layout of the first support column 210 and the second support column 220 can provide more reasonable support based on the characteristics of the long side of the carrier body 100, improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the carrier. This support layout can adapt to goods of different shapes and weights, enabling the carrier to remain stable under various conditions.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the walking assembly 300 is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 100 and has a clearance between it and the support assembly 200. During the design process, the positions and dimensions of the walking assembly 300 and the support assembly 200 are precisely calculated to ensure that there is no interference between them when the vehicle body 100 is moved, placed, or transported. For example, the installation position of the walking assembly 300 is appropriately adjusted, or the structure of the support assembly 200 is optimized to allow sufficient clearance. It is understood that the clearance effectively avoids interference between the walking assembly 300 and the support assembly 200, reduces malfunctions caused by collisions, and improves the reliability and service life of the vehicle. During movement, placement, or transport, the walking assembly 300 can rotate freely without being obstructed by the support assembly 200, making operation smoother.

[0038] Specifically, the walking assembly 300 includes two sets of directional wheels 310 arranged side by side and two sets of omnidirectional wheels 320 arranged side by side. The directional wheels 310 are installed at the front end of the bottom of the vehicle body 100 to guide the vehicle's linear movement; the omnidirectional wheels 320 are installed at the rear end of the bottom of the vehicle body 100 to facilitate the vehicle's turning. The omnidirectional wheels 320 are equipped with a braking device 321, which can be foot-operated or hand-operated for easy operation. When the vehicle body 100 needs to stop moving, the operator only needs to step on or pull the braking device 321 to stop the omnidirectional wheels 320 from rotating, thereby braking the vehicle. The combined design of the directional wheels 310 and the omnidirectional wheels 320 allows the vehicle to move linearly and turn flexibly, meeting the movement needs in different scenarios.

[0039] It should be noted that the braking device 321 can consist of a pressure plate and a bracket. The bracket is hinged to the vehicle body 100, and the pressure plate is connected to the bracket. When braking is required, the user steps on the pressure plate, the bracket rotates, and the pressure plate accurately engages and locks the caster 320, thus completing the braking. The user can then lift the pressure plate, causing the bracket to rotate and the pressure plate to separate from the caster 320, thereby releasing the braking state.

[0040] In other embodiments, the braking device 321 mainly consists of a brake pedal, a brake linkage, brake pads, and a return spring. The brake pedal is made of plastic with a non-slip textured surface for easy foot use. The pedal is hinged to the wheel frame and can rotate around the hinge axis. The brake linkage is made of steel, with one end connected to the brake pedal and the other end connected to the brake pads. The length of the linkage is designed according to the structure of the caster wheel 320 and braking requirements to ensure that force is accurately transmitted to the brake pads when the brake pedal is depressed. The brake pads are made of rubber and have good friction performance. The brake pads are bolted to the end of the brake linkage, and their shape matches the outer circumference of the wheel body, allowing them to fit tightly against the wheel body during braking. The return spring is installed between the brake pedal and the wheel frame to provide a return force for the brake pedal. When the operator releases the brake pedal, the return spring causes the pedal to automatically return to its original position, causing the brake pads to separate from the wheel body and releasing the brake.

[0041] It should be noted that the bottom of the carrier body 100 has a lifting positioning surface 110. This surface is specially processed, resulting in a smooth, flat surface with a certain degree of hardness and wear resistance. When the AGV body lifts the carrier body 100, its lifting components abut against the lifting positioning surface 110. Through precise positioning and coordination, the carrier body 100 is raised or lowered. The size and position of the lifting positioning surface 110 are designed according to the lifting requirements of the AGV body, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the lifting process. The lifting positioning surface 110 provides an accurate lifting position for the AGV body, ensuring that the carrier body 100 does not shift or shake during the lifting process, thus improving the accuracy and safety of the lifting. Furthermore, the smooth, flat surface of the lifting positioning surface 110, with its certain hardness and wear resistance, reduces wear between the lifting components and the AGV body, extending the service life of both the carrier and the AGV body.

[0042] It should be noted that the vehicle body 100 is equipped with a traction assembly 400, which includes two drawbars 410 arranged at an angle. One end of each drawbar 410 is fixed to the vehicle body 100 by welding or bolting, and the other end is connected to a traction ring 420. The traction ring 420 is made of high-strength metal material and has sufficient load-bearing capacity. Towing equipment, such as forklifts or tractors, can move the vehicle body 100 by engaging the traction ring 420. During towing, the two drawbars 410 arranged at an angle can evenly distribute the traction force, reducing the swaying of the vehicle body 100. The traction assembly 400 allows the vehicle body 100 to be easily moved by towing equipment, making it suitable for long-distance transport or movement needs in special scenarios.

[0043] To enhance the stability of the tow bar 410, a reinforcing crossbar is installed between the two tow bars 410. The reinforcing crossbar can be made of solid round steel, and its length matches the distance between the two tow bars 410. Both ends of the reinforcing crossbar are welded to the middle of the two tow bars 410, forming a stable triangular structure with the tow bars 410, greatly enhancing the overall rigidity of the towing assembly 400. When towing heavy cargo, this effectively reduces the swaying and deformation of the tow bar 410, ensuring the straight-line stability of the vehicle during towing and preventing cargo swaying or even falling due to instability of the tow bar 410, thus improving the safety of cargo handling.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
