In the case that the processor determines that the side load value of the vertical outrigger is greater than the second preset threshold set by the processor, the processor can determine the second length of the amplitude cylinder according to the initial angle and the target angle between the amplitude cylinder and the horizontal direction, and control the amplitude cylinder to extend by the second length, so as to control the vertical outrigger to rotate, so as to adjust the side load of the vertical outrigger to zero.

[0092] When the processor controls the luffing cylinder to extend or contract, the processor can control the vertical legs to extend or contract. The processor can control the vertical telescopic cylinder to drive the telescopic vertical leg to extend or contract in the fixed vertical leg, so that the leg disc is in contact with the ground. For example, as shown in Figure 7 When the processor controls the luffing cylinder 3 to contract, so that the vertical leg 2 rotates from the vertical leg first working state 10 to the vertical leg second working state 11 relative to the horizontal leg 1, the processor can control the vertical telescopic cylinder to drive the telescopic vertical leg 5 to extend or contract in the fixed vertical leg 4, so that the leg disc 9 is in contact with the ground. A limit block can be arranged in the fixed vertical leg 4, and the limit block is arranged in the extension and contraction end of the vertical telescopic cylinder, so as to limit the extension and contraction distance of the vertical telescopic cylinder. So that the leg disc 9 can be safely supported on the ground.

[0093] Through the above technical solution, the luffing cylinder hinged at the vertical leg and the horizontal leg at both ends is used to drive the vertical leg, so that the vertical leg can rotate relative to the horizontal leg. The side load value borne by the vertical leg is determined by the oil pressure in the luffing cylinder and the initial angle between the luffing cylinder and the horizontal direction. The extension and contraction length of the luffing cylinder is determined according to the initial angle and the target angle between the luffing cylinder and the horizontal direction, so as to control the extension and contraction of the luffing cylinder, so that the vertical leg can rotate relative to the horizontal leg to offset the side load value borne by the vertical leg, effectively reduce the risk of cylinder failure, and greatly improve the service life of the cylinder. At the same time, when the processor adjusts the luffing cylinder, the processor can control the telescopic vertical leg in the fixed vertical leg to extend or contract, so that the vertical leg can adapt to the adjusted angle, thereby expanding the ground angle of the leg and improving the operation flexibility. The luffing cylinder can provide a buffering effect for the vertical leg, so that the impact resistance of the vertical leg to the lateral direction is improved.
