They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figure 1-3 The image shows an arrow transport vehicle with a retractable canopy, comprising a tractor unit 1, a hydraulic gooseneck 2, a main body 3, a protective housing 4, a canopy assembly, and a guide rail assembly. Specifically:

[0039] The tractor 1 is connected to the front end of the main body 3 via a hydraulic gooseneck 2. The hydraulic gooseneck 2 is equipped with a power pump station, which can provide the tractor 1 with traction force and provide the main body 3 with steering power.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown: The main vehicle body 3 includes a front module vehicle 30, an intermediate connecting frame 31 and a rear module vehicle 32. The rear end of the front module vehicle 30 and the front end of the rear module vehicle 32 are respectively connected to the two ends of the intermediate connecting frame 31.

[0041] In this embodiment: the front module vehicle 30 and the rear module vehicle 32 have similar structures, both including a module vehicle body 330, a lifting suspension, and wheel assemblies 331. The lifting suspension can specifically adopt, for example, a hydropneumatic suspension, which can lift and lower while having good vibration damping. Multiple suspension module vehicles 330, lifting suspensions, and wheel assemblies 331 are provided, and the number of lifting suspensions and wheel assemblies 331 does not exceed the number of module vehicles 330. The bottom of each module vehicle body 330 has an installation space 332. Multiple module vehicles 330 are connected front to back, and the lifting suspensions and wheel assemblies 331 can be selectively installed in the installation space 332 of any module vehicle body 330. Each module vehicle body 330 has an installation space 332 for installing the lifting suspension and wheel assemblies 331, allowing for expansion of the vehicle's load capacity. The intermediate connecting frame 31 includes multiple connecting vehicles 310, which are connected front to back. The interfaces of the modular vehicle body 330 and the connecting vehicle body 310 are the same, and the modular vehicle body 330 or the connecting vehicle body 310 can be added or removed to lengthen or shorten the overall vehicle length.

[0042] The protective housing 4 is mounted on the main vehicle body 1. The protective housing 4 is an extra-long (approximately 40 meters in length) and extra-wide (approximately 4.6 meters in width) housing. Specifically, the interior of the protective housing 4 forms a space for the rocket body. The top of the protective housing 4 is open. The sides and rear of the protective housing 4 have access ports that connect to the interior and top of the protective housing 4. Doors 40 are installed at these access ports for opening and closing. The positions of the access ports on both sides of the protective housing 4 are matched to the positions of the rocket body lifting points and support points. A movable crossbeam can be installed above the rear access port of the protective housing 4. When the factory height is insufficient, the rocket body can be hoisted in through the rear door during lifting, meeting the requirement of pushing the rocket body in from the rear.

[0043] The canopy assembly includes a storage bracket 50, a canopy body, and a drive mechanism. The storage bracket 50 is connected to the front of the top of the protective housing 4. One end of the canopy body is fixedly connected to the storage bracket 50, and the other end of the canopy body is connected to the drive mechanism, which drives the canopy body to extend or retract.

[0044] The canopy body includes multiple canopy panel groups, connectors 52, and slide rails 53. The sides of two adjacent canopy panel groups are rotatably connected via connectors 52. The first canopy panel group is fixedly connected to the storage bracket 50, and the last canopy panel group is connected to the drive mechanism. In this embodiment: the canopy panel group includes a pair of canopy panels 51, forming a "V"-shaped rotating structure. One side of the pair of canopy panels 51 is rotatably connected, and the other side is rotatably connected to connectors 52. One canopy panel 51 in the first canopy panel group is fixed via connectors 52, and one canopy panel 51 in the last canopy panel group is connected to the drive mechanism via connectors 52.

[0045] The slide rails 53 are located on both sides of the top of the protective box 4 and extend from the storage bracket 50 to the rear of the protective box 4. Their extension direction is also consistent with the extension and retraction direction of the canopy. The connector 52 is slidably connected to the slide rail 53. Since one of the canopy panels 51 in the first canopy panel group is fixed by the connector 52, the connector 52 cannot slide.

[0046] The drive mechanism includes a transmission chain 54 and a power source. The transmission chain 54 extends along the extension and retraction direction of the canopy. The power source is connected to the transmission chain 54 to drive it back and forth in the extension direction. One of the canopy panels 51 in the last canopy panel group is connected to the transmission chain 54 through a connector 52. The power source drives the transmission chain 54 to transport the canopy to the rear of the protective box 4. The last connector 52 is driven by the transmission chain 54 to unfold the canopy. After fully unfolding, the canopy covers the top of the protective box 4. The power source drives the transmission chain 54 to transport the canopy to the storage bracket 50. The last connector 52 is driven by the transmission chain 54 to retract the canopy. After fully retracting, the canopy is folded up above the storage bracket 50, without occupying the space on the top of the protective box 4. After the top of the protective box 4 is open, the arrow body can be hoisted in or out, meeting the requirements for lifting up and down.

[0047] The guide rail assembly includes a main guide rail 60, multiple guide rail carriages 61, and a positioning block group 62. The main guide rail 60 is set on the main vehicle body 3 and inside the protective box 4. The guide rail carriages 61 are movably set on the main guide rail 61, and the number of them is usually three, supporting the two ends and the middle of the arrow body. The positioning block group 62 is set at the front and rear of the guide rail carriages 61 to restrict their movement on the main guide rail 60, so that the guide rail carriages 61 can be fixed at any position on the main guide rail 60.

[0048] The guide rail vehicle 61 is equipped with a positioning bracket 63 for positioning the arrow body and a vibration monitoring component 64. The vibration monitoring component 64 is specifically installed on the positioning bracket 63. The vibration monitoring component 64 feeds back the detected vibration information to the driver's cab. The driver can be reminded of the vibration status of the whole vehicle in a timely manner through an alarm or display. If the vibration is too large or resonance occurs, the vehicle damage can be adjusted to ensure the safety of transportation.

[0049] In addition, the guide rail assembly can optionally be equipped with a transition guide rail, which can dock with the main guide rail 60. The transition guide rail can dock with an external tooling platform to transport the rocket body to the transport vehicle.
