[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Refer to Figures 1-3 , a support system includes support columns 1 distributed in a four-point pattern within a plane, and support beams 2 located between the distribution areas of the support columns 1. The support beams 2 are in a cross structure, the support beams 2 are horizontal, rotatable movable rods 3 are vertically provided at the four end portions of the support beams 2 respectively, and connecting rods 4 are respectively arranged on the movable rods 3 to connect the adjacent support columns 1. At the same time, swing arms 5 are arranged on the support beams 2 to connect the support columns 1 respectively. Further, two connecting rods 4 are arranged on each movable rod 3. One end of the connecting rod 4 is swingably connected to the movable rod 3, the swing axis is vertical, and the other end is universally connected to the adjacent support column 1. One end of the swing arm 5 is swingably hinged to the support beam 2 up and down, and the other end is swingably hinged to the support column 1 up and down.

[0026] This support system has four support columns distributed in a four-point pattern. Each of the four support columns can be individually lifted without affecting the stable support of the other three support columns. Each support column can move independently. Lifting one, two, or three support columns will not affect the supporting effect of the other support columns, so it can be used for fixed support or vehicle support system.

[0027] When used for fixed support, the four support columns can all support well on the ground to keep the support beam stable. At this time, the support beam is used for weighing or other fixed applications.

[0028] This support system can also be used for the support system of a vehicle. The vehicle body is supported by the support beam. Wheels are provided on the support columns. When the wheels encounter obstacles and are lifted by the obstacles, the support column corresponding to the wheel can be lifted accordingly without affecting the support of the other three support columns and the stability of the support beam. The four support columns are still stressed simultaneously, and the support beam part will not be seriously unstable due to unbalanced stress.

[0029] Further, the connecting rod 4 is V-shaped, with the open end connected to the movable rod 3 such that both sides of the open end of the connecting rod 4 are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the movable rod 3, and the closed end is connected to the support column 1 in a universal joint manner. Moreover, the swing arm 5 is V-shaped, with both sides of the open end swingably connected to the support beam 2, and the closed end connected to the support column 1. The V-shaped connection feature has very high strength and provides good support stability. The connection between the connecting rod 4 and the support column 1 is a ball joint connection. For example, when one of the support columns is lifted or lowered due to the influence of ground protrusions or depressions, the support column drives the connecting rod connected thereto to swing upward, and the swing arm will swing accordingly. The function of the swing arm is to stably support the support column so that it can move up and down without swaying left and right. The connected connecting rod is used to assist in stabilizing the support column. Since the support column and the connecting rod are in a ball joint connection relationship, interference will not occur to block the lifting or lowering of the support column. Since the connecting rod and the movable rod can swing relative to each other, the support column will not be interfered by the movable rod during lifting and lowering. The lifting and lowering of the support column will drive the movable rod to rotate and cause the connecting rod at another position to rotate relative to the support column. Thus, the support stability and the stability of the support beam are maintained.

[0030] Further, the connection between the two connecting rods 4 is swingably connected to the movable rod 3 coaxially.

[0031] Further, for the convenience of connecting the swing arm, a connection frame 6 is provided at the middle position on the lower side of the support beam 2, and a connection ear 7 is provided on the connection frame 6. The swing arm 5 is hinged to the connection ear 7.

[0032] Further, the support system of the present invention is used for supporting a vehicle body. One example is as follows.

[0033] A vehicle including a support system, where the vehicle body 8 is located on the upper side of the support beam 2 and connected to the support beam 2, and wheels 9 are provided on the support columns 1. The wheels 9 are rotatably provided on the support columns 1, all the wheels 9 are arranged in the same direction, and motors 10 corresponding to the wheels 9 one by one are provided on the support columns 1 to control the rotation of the wheels 9. The wheels are independently controlled, and steering is achieved through the speed difference.

[0034] This support system can be applied to vehicles. This type of vehicle can be used for off-road, or for devices such as field mapping or detection robots, or for many occasions such as field material transportation. And it can be extended to be applied as a surface movement tool on outer space planets.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
