TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of agricultural automation, and in particular, relates to a wheel-foot combined orchard transporter and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the main machine for transporting orchard crops, orchard transporters are mainly divided into three types: wheeled transporters, tracked transporters and rail transporters. Among them, wheeled transporters and tracked transporters are more widely used. However, most of the orchards in China are located in mountainous and hilly areas, where the terrain is complex and rugged, with crisscrossing ravines and irregular tree branches. The above problems not only make it extremely difficult for traditional orchard transporters with fixed chassis height to work in such areas, but also greatly increase the labor intensity of farmers.
[0003] In northern China, farmers mainly use wheeled and tracked transport machines to transport fruits; in southern China, tracked transport machines are also widely used. The spacing between fruit trees in many orchards in China is very narrow, and the tree branches are crisscrossing, and the terrain in some orchards is relatively complex, making it difficult for wheeled and tracked transport machines to enter smoothly. At the same time, the chassis of some wheeled and tracked transport machines is either too high or too low, making it difficult to move flexibly in old-style dense orchards. For example, Chinese invention patent application (application number 201910646749.6) "A mountain orchard transporter and its self-balancing load platform" solves the problem of leveling during transportation of tracked transport machines by adjusting the extension length of the balance electric cylinder, but this tracked transport machine still has the problems of low chassis and difficulty in adjusting the height of the chassis, making it difficult to achieve a large range of obstacle crossing function. For example, Chinese utility model patent application (application number 201621451998.8) "A walking device applied to a mountain orchard transporter" is a rail transporter, which can adapt well to mountainous terrain, but due to the influence of natural disasters and market prices, farmers are reluctant to buy high-cost rail transport machines. In addition, rail transport machines also have the problem of insufficient reliability. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the problems that traditional orchard transporters are not easy to work in complex terrain orchards, the height of the chassis is not easy to adjust, and the obstacle crossing ability needs to be improved, the purpose of the present application is to provide a wheel-foot combined orchard transporter and method, the wheel legs and foot legs are composed of electric push rods, so as to realize the lifting, steering and obstacle crossing walking actions of the load platform through the alternation of wheels and feet; the controller realizes the steering, load platform lifting and wheel-foot alternation walking control through the length change law of the electric push rod obtained by simulation before operation.

[0028] The controller is sent control signals by the remote controller to adjust the length of each long-stroke electric push rod 4 on the three foot legs 5, so that the foot leg connecting center frame 12 is horizontally offset to the forward direction and lowered to the limit position; then, the short-stroke electric push rod 15 of the three electric feet 11 is extended to the maximum length, so that the three foot pads 16 are vertically contacted with the ground and the load platform 1 is raised, so that the drive wheels 7 of the three wheel legs 3 are away from the ground; the length of each long-stroke electric push rod 4 on the three foot legs 5 is adjusted again, so that the foot leg connecting center frame 12 is kept at a horizontal height and returned to the shape center coaxial with the shape center of the transporter chassis 2, and then the length of each long-stroke electric push rod 4 on the three foot legs 5 is adjusted to restore the initial state of the foot leg connecting center frame 12, while the short-stroke electric push rod 15 of the three electric feet 11 is retracted to the minimum length, so that the drive wheels 7 of the three wheel legs 3 are contacted with the ground; such a cycle is repeated to realize the wheel-foot alternately walking on the irregular road surface.
