6. A method for using the self-propelled, self-steering semi-trailer bridge inspection vehicle according to any one of claims 4 to 5, characterized in that: The semi-trailer bridge inspection vehicle is towed by a tractor (26) to a bridge (20) inspection or maintenance location, and the tractor (26) is separated from the semi-trailer bridge inspection vehicle; the semi-trailer chassis air system (16) is operated to deflate the chassis air suspension airbag (15), causing the entire vehicle frame to descend, and the pressure wheel (21) in the self-propelled device (17) to contact the tire of the semi-trailer bridge inspection vehicle; The vertical support frame (3) is driven to rotate along the vertical support lower rotation (2) to a position perpendicular to the platform (1); the lower horizontal support (6) and the upper horizontal support (8) are driven to extend in a direction parallel to the platform (1) until the flip support (4) is perpendicular to the platform (1); the rotating table assembly (5) is driven to rotate to be parallel to the platform (1), and the semi-trailer chassis (9) is parallel to the platform (1); the lower horizontal support (6) and the upper horizontal support (8) are controlled to move up and down along the vertical support frame slide rail (7), and the semi-trailer chassis (9) is placed on the bridge (20) to be inspected. The semi-trailer chassis (9) can move left and right along the driving rotating table assembly (5) to complete the inspection or maintenance of the bridge (20); When the semi-hook bridge inspection vehicle needs to move, the hydraulic motor (24) in the self-propelled device (17) is rotated, the hydraulic motor (24) drives the reducer (23), the reducer (23) drives the transmission shaft (25), and at the same time, the transmission chain drives the transmission shafts on both sides. The rotation of the transmission shaft drives the pressure wheel (21) on the shaft to rotate, and the pressure wheel (21) drives the tire (35) of the semi-hook bridge inspection vehicle to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the semi-hook bridge inspection vehicle; When the semi-hook bridge inspection vehicle needs to be turned, the steering oil cylinder (30) in the supporting steering device (18) is telescopically moved to drive the supporting steering wheels (27) on both sides to rotate, and the steering rod (29) drives the supporting steering wheels on both sides to rotate simultaneously in the same direction, thereby realizing the steering of the semi-hook bridge inspection vehicle; When finishing work, the reverse operation is performed and the semi-trailer bridge inspection vehicle returns from the working state to the transportation state.
