[0139] In some embodiments, the draft angle of the mounting element 410 is 2° to 5°.

[0140] In some embodiments, the mounting element 410 includes but is not limited to a mounting cavity, a mounting bracket, a mounting slot, etc.

[0141] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0142] 1) The upper surface of the bottom plate unit is designed in a grid pattern, which facilitates the flow of liquid and reduces the weight of the bottom plate unit to achieve a lightweight design;

[0143] 2) The use of reinforcing rib units can reduce the deformation of the integrated die-cast aluminum body and avoid deformation of the integrated die-cast aluminum body when it is demolded or ejected from the mold;

[0144] 3) The bottom plate unit, side plate unit, reinforcement rib unit and mounting unit are integrated into a die-casting process, which reduces production steps, improves production efficiency, reduces weight and reduces production costs;

[0145] 4) While ensuring the strength and rigidity of the integrated die-cast aluminum body, the thickness of the integrated die-cast aluminum body is small, meeting the requirements of lightweight design;

[0146] 5) Due to the lightweight design of the integrated die-cast aluminum body, the loading capacity of the four-way shuttle can be improved.

[0147] Example 2

[0148] This embodiment relates to the integrated die-casting mold of the present invention.

[0149] The integrated die-casting mold of the present invention can produce the integrated die-cast aluminum vehicle body as described in Example 1.

[0150] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0151] 1) The groove components and rib components of the integrated die-casting mold corresponding to the integrated die-casting aluminum body can be used as flow channels for the die-casting fluid, thereby improving the fluidity of the die-casting fluid and facilitating die-casting molding.

[0152] Example 3

[0153] This embodiment relates to the four-way shuttle of the present invention.

[0154] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a four-way shuttle vehicle, comprising the integrated die-cast aluminum body as described in Example 1, or the integrated die-cast aluminum body produced by the integrated die-casting mold as described in Example 2.

[0155] Furthermore, the four-way shuttle vehicle also includes a battery module, a walking module, a lifting module, and a driving module.

[0156] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the implementation mode and protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
