The invention relates to an AGV path navigation method assisted by a mechanical structure and an AGV chassis structure. The AGV path navigation method comprises a chassis, wherein solid rubber wheelsare arranged at two sides of the chassis, and reduction boxes for controlling the rotating speed of the solid rubber wheels are arranged at two ends of the upper part of the chassis; the middle part of the chassis is provided with an electromagnetic code disc, a protective shell is arranged above the electromagnetic code disc, and a first compression spring used for ensuring that the electromagnetic code disc does not slip is arranged in the protective shell; a first group of limit switches and a second group of limit switches are arranged at the lower part of the chassis in the direction of the vehicle head, and the first group of limit switches and the second group of limit switches are respectively arranged in two rows; the AGV with the chassis structure runs on a preset path, a grooveand a station landmark groove for representing a station are arranged on the ground of the path, a first group of limit switches fall into the groove when the AGV runs, a second group of limit switches fall into the station landmark groove, and a signal is output to a controller of the AGV, wherein the controller judges whether to carry out omnidirectional movement or differential steering according to the obtained information.
