Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) This application corresponds to PCT Application No. PCT/CN2021/080358, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 202010866574.2, filed on Aug. 25, 2020 and entitled “SHUTTLE VEHICLE LEVEL-SWITCHING HOIST FOR STEREOSCOPIC WAREHOUSE AND SHUTTLE VEHICLE CONVEYING DEVICE”, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a field of warehousing and logistics, in particular to a shuttle vehicle level-switching hoist for a stereoscopic warehouse and a shuttle vehicle conveying device. BACKGROUND A shuttle vehicle is an intelligent robot applied in the field of warehousing and logistics. Based on programming, the shuttle vehicle may perform tasks such as taking goods, transporting and placing, and may communicate with a host computer or a warehouse management system (WMS), and may realize the functions of automatic identification, goods placing and taking and the like in combination with identification technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and bar code identification. In the daily warehousing logistics, goods taking and placing based on the shuttle vehicle has gradually become normalized. However, there are at least following problems in the existing technologies: the existing shuttle vehicle hoist is suitable for a four-way shuttle vehicle, that is, the shuttle vehicle that may move in both left-right direction and front-back direction; the hoist may only lift the shuttle vehicle in a vertical direction; due to a high cost of the four-way shuttle vehicle, the corresponding arrangement of the matched shelf and laneway is also relatively complex; for example, the laneway must be provided with an intersection. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hoist that may be used for two-way shuttle vehicle, and the hoist has both lifting and rotating functions.
