In a specific example, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a slide rail 5, and the positioning plate 21 is provided with a slide block 6 slidably connected with the slide rail 5, so that the upper limit limiting piece 42 and the lower limit limiting piece 43 can better prevent the slide block 6 from being separated from the slide rail 5 due to the excessive lifting of the material storage platform 2. It should be noted that, here, only one of the connection structures of the positioning plate 21 and the mounting rack 1 is illustrated, and the connection structure of the positioning plate 21 and the mounting rack 1 is not limited, for example, the positioning plate 21 and the mounting rack 1 may also slide relatively by means of an air-float rail, a magnetic-float rail, or a hard rail.

Further, the two limit mechanism sets 41 are located between the upper limit limiting member 42 and the lower limit limiting member 43 in the up-down direction, the positioning plate 21 forms a limiting groove 211, the plurality of docking positions include a first docking position, a second docking position and a third docking position, which are sequentially arranged from the bottom to the top, that is, the height of the upper limit limiting member 42 is higher than that of the limit mechanism set 41 located on the upper side, the height of the lower limit limiting member 43 is lower than that of the limit mechanism set 41 located on the lower side, the height of the third docking position is higher than that of the second docking position, and the height of the second docking position is higher than that of the first docking position.

In the first abutting position, the lower limit limiting piece 43 abuts against the lower side of the positioning plate 21, that is, the material storage platform 2 is at the lowest position at this time, for example, when the lifting mechanism 3 drives the positioning plate 21 to move downwards, the downward movement of the positioning plate 21 can be better blocked by the lower limit limiting piece 43 to limit the excessive downward movement of the material storage platform 2, so as to maintain the material storage platform 2 at the first abutting position. In the second abutting position, the stoppers 4112 in the two stopper mechanism groups 41 abut against the upper side and the lower side of the positioning plate 21, respectively. That is, in the second butting position, the stopper 4112 of the stopper mechanism group 41 on the upper side is butted against the upper side edge of the positioning plate 21 to prevent the stocking platform 2 from moving upward away from the second butting position by stopping the positioning plate 21 from moving upward, and the stopper 4112 of the stopper mechanism group 41 on the lower side is butted against the lower side plate of the positioning plate 21 to prevent the stocking platform 2 from moving downward away from the second butting position by stopping the positioning plate 21 from moving downward. Next, in the third docking position, the stopper 4112 is inserted into the stopper groove 211.
