In addition, a support shaft is provided on the other end of the support bar 33, and the turn-plate wheel 34 is rotatably provided on the support shaft to reduce friction between the turn-plate wheel 34 and the first and second turn- plate rails 31 and 32.

Further, as shown in fig. 6 in combination with fig. 4, one end of the support rod 33 connected to the tilting disk wheel 34 is an inclined surface, and the side surface of the tilting disk wheel 34 is parallel to the inclined surface.

Of course, in other embodiments, the fork driving mechanism may also be a slider-crank mechanism formed by a linear motor and the transmission link 38, or a DDR motor may be used to directly drive the fork rod 36 to rotate, as long as the rotation of the fork rod 36 can be controlled, which is not illustrated herein.

Alternatively, the number of the fork lever 36 is one, and the fork lever 36 is provided at the upper end of the fork seat 35. In particular, the fork lever 36 is disposed at the fracture junction of the first turning track 31, so that the carriage 1 can continue to travel along the first turning track 31 when the loading platform 12 is not required to turn over for unloading.

When the mechanism is used for lane-changing and turning the carriage 1, even if the tilting wheel 34 moves downward to turn the carriage 1 lane-changing and turning, the tilting direction of the tilting slide formed by the two fork seats 35 coincides with the traveling direction of the carriage 1, i.e., is tilted downward, and the fork lever 36 can be rotated relative to the fork seats 35 by the fork driving mechanism to communicate the first and second tilting tray rails 31 and 32. When the carrier mechanism 1 is reset, even if the tilting disk wheel 34 moves upwards to enable the carrier platform 12 to restore to the horizontal state, the tilting direction of the tilting slide rail formed by the two shifting fork seats 35 is consistent with the advancing direction of the carrier mechanism 1, namely, the tilting slide rail tilts upwards, at this time, the shifting fork rod 36 can be driven by the shifting fork driving mechanism without the need of driving the shifting fork rod 36, the shifting fork rod 36 can rotate relative to the shifting fork seat 35 only by means of power in the advancing process of the carrier mechanism 1, and specifically, the tilting disk wheel 34 can abut against the shifting fork rod 36 to enable the shifting fork rod 36 to rotate upwards by means of upward force for the shifting fork rod 36.

Alternatively, the number of the fork levers 36 is two, and the two fork levers 36 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the fork seat 35.

When the fork assembly is used for moving the tilting tray wheel 34 upwards, a fork rod 36 in the fork assembly, which is located at the lower end of the fork seat 35, needs to be rotated by means of a fork driving mechanism to communicate the first tilting tray track 31 and the second tilting tray track 32; the fork lever 36 at the upper end of the fork mount 35 does not need to be driven by power.
