[0096] Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The occurrence of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily independent or alternative embodiments to each other. In the case of no conflict, various embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0097] It should be noted that the thickness, length, width and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings, and the overall thickness, length, width and other dimensions of the integrated device are only exemplary and should not constitute any limitation on the present application.

[0098] The embodiments of the present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0099] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle carrier 100 which can be moved to below a vehicle to be carried (hereinafter referred to as a vehicle) and move with the vehicle loaded to carry the vehicle to a predetermined area.

[0100] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 of the present application can be applied to places including but not limited to intelligent parking lots, battery swap stations and vehicle manufacturing centers.

[0101] The vehicle carrier 100 of the present application includes a first module 10, a second module 20 and a third module 30, and the third module 30 is connected to the first module 10 and the second module 20. At least one of the first module 10 and the second module 20 has a walking mechanism, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can move by walking.

[0102] The first module 10 includes a first base body 11, and the second module 20 includes a second base body 21, and the first base body 11 and the second base body 21 are arranged along a first direction X.

[0103] The third module 30 has a first end portion 311 and a second end portion 321 arranged along the first direction X, the first end portion 311 is rotatably connected to the first base body 11 with the second direction Y as the axis, and the second end portion 321 is rotatably connected to the second base body 21 with the second direction Y as the axis.

[0104] The first direction X is the length direction of the vehicle handler 100, and the second direction Y is the width direction of the vehicle handler 100.

[0105] During the walking process of the vehicle handler 100, when uneven ground appears, the third module 30 rotatably connects the first base body 11 and the second base body 21, the third module 30 can rotate relative to the first module 10 and / or rotate relative to the second module 20, thereby forming a structure similar to two or three folds along the length direction of the vehicle handler 100, which is beneficial to avoid the risk of the first base body 11 or the second base body 21 touching the ground, improve the compatibility of the vehicle handler 100 to complex terrain, and improve the passing performance of the vehicle handler 100. At the same time, through the adaptive deformation of the overall shape of the vehicle handler 100 to the complex terrain, the ground clearance of the vehicle handler 100 can be appropriately reduced under the premise of ensuring its load capacity, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall height of the vehicle handler 100 and facilitating the entry of the vehicle handler 100 into the bottom of the vehicle.

[0106] In order to ensure the load capacity and adaptability to complex terrain of the vehicle handler 100, the existing vehicle handler 100 is generally high, and when transporting a vehicle, an additional device is needed to raise the vehicle, so that the vehicle handler 100 can move to the bottom of the vehicle chassis, resulting in an increase in the difficulty and cost of moving the vehicle.

[0107] The vehicle handler 100 of the present application can adaptively deform to complex terrain, appropriately reduce the ground clearance of the vehicle handler 100 under the premise of ensuring the load capacity, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall height of the vehicle handler 100, so that the vehicle handler 100 can enter the bottom of the vehicle without the aid of other devices to raise the vehicle, greatly reducing the requirements for the handling scene. In an embodiment, the vehicle handler 100 of the present application can control its height to be within 90mm.

[0108] It should be noted that the structure of the vehicle handler 100 of the present application does not have a strict front and back, i.e., when the vehicle handler 100 moves along the first direction X, the first module 10 can be in front and the second module 20 can be behind, or the second module 20 can be in front and the first module 10 can be behind. In the following, the description of front and back is only used to express the front and back of the vehicle handler 100 along the moving direction, and is not used to limit the position of each module or structure.

[0109] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the third module 30 includes a first sub-base 31 and a second sub-base 32, which are movably connected together along a first direction X. A first end 311 is located on the first sub-base 31, and a second end 321 is located on the second sub-base 32. The first sub-base 31 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 via the first end 311, and the second sub-base 32 is rotatably connected to the second base 21 via the second end 321. In this embodiment, by designing the third module 30 as two parts that can move relative to each other along the first direction X, the third module 30 forms a telescopic structure. By adaptively adjusting its length along the first direction X, the distance between the first base 11 and the second base 21 can be adjusted, that is, the distance between the first module 10 and the second module 20 can be adjusted, and the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms of the vehicle transporter 100 can be adjusted. This allows the vehicle transporter 100 to be applicable to vehicles with different wheelbases, improving the compatibility of the vehicle transporter 100 with vehicles of different wheelbases. On the other hand, the telescopic third module 30 also helps to reduce the total length of the vehicle transporter 100 along the first direction X, reduce the space occupied by the vehicle transporter 100, and improve the passability of the vehicle transporter 100.

[0110] In certain usage scenarios, when the vehicle transporter 100 moves in an unloaded state, the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 can be adjusted simultaneously so that the two move relative to each other along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the vehicle transporter 100 to a wheelbase suitable for the vehicle to be transported, which helps to reduce the transport cycle of the vehicle transporter 100 and improve transport efficiency.

[0111] In some embodiments, the third module 30 further includes a guide rail 33 and a slider 34 connected to each other. One of the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 is disposed on the first sub-base 31, and the other of the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 is disposed on the second sub-base 32. The guide rail 33 extends along the first direction X. In this embodiment, by providing the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 in the third module 30, the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 are slidably connected, which helps to improve the smoothness of the extension and retraction of the third module 30.

[0112] In one embodiment, the guide rail 33 and slider 34 can also be replaced by a guide sleeve and a guide post, which are sleeved together. One of the guide sleeve and guide post is disposed in the first sub-base 31, and the other is disposed in the second sub-base 32. It is understood that the combination of guide rail 33 and slider 34 can be equivalently replaced by other linear motion pairs in the art, and such simple replacements all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0113] In a possible embodiment, the third module 30 is not provided with a driving mechanism, and the mutual movement between the first sub-base body 31 and the second sub-base body 32 is passive movement, i.e. the third module 30 can be made to realize telescopic deformation through the movement of one of the first module 10 and the second module 20, or through the differential movement of the first module 10 and the second module 20. This embodiment is advantageous in reducing the number of accessories of the vehicle carrier 100, and thus is advantageous in compressing the overall height of the vehicle carrier 100, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can enter the bottom of the vehicle without the aid of other equipment to raise the vehicle, and reduces the requirements on the carrying scene

[0114] In a possible embodiment, the third module 30 is provided with a driving mechanism (not shown in the figure), the driving mechanism is connected to the first sub-base body 31 and the second sub-base body 32, and is used to drive the first sub-base body 31 and the second sub-base body 32 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. By adjusting the length of the third module 30 along the first direction X through the driving mechanism, the vehicle carrier 100 can be simplified in circuit system without the aid of a walking mechanism.

[0115] In an embodiment, the driving mechanism includes but is not limited to any one of an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder telescopic rod, and a motor-screw-nut mechanism.

[0116] In an embodiment, along the third direction Z, the projection of the driving mechanism does not overlap the projection of the first transmission mechanism 132 of the first clamping mechanism 13 in the first module 10, and does not overlap the projection of the second transmission mechanism 232 of the second clamping mechanism 23 in the second module 20. In this way, the driving mechanism in the third module 30 does not overlap the transmission mechanism in the first module 10 / second module 20 in the third direction Z, which is advantageous in reducing the height of the vehicle carrier 100 and improving the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100.

[0117] As an example, the following further illustrates the case that the third module 30 is not provided with a driving mechanism.

[0118] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in an embodiment, the first module 10 further includes a first walking mechanism 12 connected to the first base body 11, and the first walking mechanism 12 is configured to drive the first module 10 to move. The second module 20 further includes a second walking mechanism 22 connected to the second base body 21, and the second walking mechanism 22 is configured to drive the second module 20 to move. Through the simultaneous operation and cooperative work of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22, the vehicle carrier 100 can realize the functions of forward and backward movement, and also realize the functions of turning and transverse movement.

[0119] Further, along the first direction X, if one of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22 works, the other does not work, or the moving speeds of the two are different, the differential movement between the first module 10 and the second module 20 occurs, and then the relative movement between the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 occurs, the length of the third module 30 changes, and the distance between the first module 10 and the second module 20 changes, i.e., the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms of the vehicle carrier 100 changes, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can adapt to vehicles with different wheelbase. If the length of the third module 30 is adjusted by the driving mechanism, the first walking mechanism 12 and / or the second walking mechanism 22 need to work to adapt to the length adjustment of the third module 30, otherwise, the driving wheels of the first walking mechanism 12 or the second walking mechanism 22 will hard rub with the ground, affecting the service life thereof; in the embodiment, the third module 30 is not provided with a driving mechanism, and the length of the third module 30 is stretched or compressed by the first walking mechanism 12 and / or the second walking mechanism 22 to adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms, which is beneficial to reduce the influence on the service life of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22.

[0120] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 can adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms in place, at this time, one of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22 works, and the other does not work.

[0121] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 can adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms during movement, at this time, the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22 work at the same time, but the moving speeds of the two are different, and the adjustment manner can make the vehicle carrier 100 adjust to the appropriate length before reaching the vehicle below, and immediately start the action of clamping the vehicle after moving to the vehicle below, which is beneficial to reduce the cycle of the vehicle carrier 100 to carry the vehicle and improve the carrying efficiency.

[0122] In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 includes a first driving source 121 and a first driving wheel 122, the first driving source 121 is connected to the first base 11, the first driving source 121 is connected to the first driving wheel 122 and is used to drive the first driving wheel 122 to rotate, the first driving wheel 122 is rotatably connected to the first base 11, the first driving wheel 122 is used to support the first module 10 and carry the first module 10 to move.

[0123] In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 along a third direction Z, and the first walking mechanism 12 is configured to adjust the angle of the first driving wheels 122 relative to the first base 11 by rotating relative to the first base 11, and further adjust the moving direction of the first walking mechanism 12 and the moving direction of the vehicle carrier 100. The third direction Z is the height direction of the vehicle carrier 100, and is also the thickness direction of the vehicle carrier 100. In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 along the third direction Z by a rotary bearing (not shown).

[0124] Further, the first walking mechanism 12 includes two first driving wheels 122, and the two first driving wheels 122 are parallel to each other in the axial direction, i.e., the two driving wheels have the same angle relative to the first base 11, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the first driving wheels 122 on the ground and prolong the service life of the first driving wheels 122 during the movement of the vehicle carrier 100. In an embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X or is ready to move along the first direction X, the two first driving wheels 122 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y, and the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 overlap.

[0125] When the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X, the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 are parallel to the second direction Y; when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the second direction Y, the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 are parallel to the first direction X; and when the vehicle carrier 100 moves in a turning direction, the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 are inclined to the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0126] The first walking mechanism 12 includes two first driving sources 121, one first driving source 121 is connected to one first driving wheel 122, and the other first driving source 121 is connected to the other first driving wheel 122. When the two first driving sources 121 are configured to have the same rotating speed, the first walking mechanism 12 will be relatively stationary relative to the first base 11. When the two first driving sources 121 are configured to have different rotating speeds, the first walking mechanism 12 will rotate relative to the first base 11, which is beneficial to adjust the moving direction of the vehicle carrier 100.

[0127] In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further includes two first reduction boxes 123, and one first reduction box 123 is connected to one first driving wheel 122 and the other first driving wheel 122. By providing the first reduction boxes 123, it is beneficial to adjust the rotating speed of the first driving wheels 122, and further improve the rotating torque of the first driving wheels 122 and the carrying capacity of the vehicle carrier 100. It should be noted that the specific structure of the reduction box is a conventional setting in the art, and will not be described herein.

When the vehicle carrier 100 is walking on uneven ground, the relative height of the two first driving wheels 122 can be adjusted by driving the two first driving wheels 122 to rotate relative to the first part 1241 and the first base 11 through the second part 1242, so that the two first driving wheels 122 can be adaptively adjusted relative to the first base 11 to be able to touch the ground at the same time or at least one driving wheel can touch the ground, thereby reducing the risk of both first driving wheels 122 idling at the same time, and improving the compatibility of the vehicle carrier 100 to complex terrain and improving its passing performance.

[0129] In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further comprises a first pin shaft 125, the first pin shaft 125 connects the first part 1241 and the second part 1242, so that the first part 1241 and the second part 1242 can rotate relative to each other.

[0130] In an embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further comprises a plurality of first elastic members 126, the first elastic members 126 are connected between the first part 1241 and the second part 1242, and the first elastic members 126 can provide elastic buffering along the third direction Z for the relative rotation between the first part 1241 and the second part 1242, thereby improving the relative rotation stability between the first part 1241 and the second part 1242. On the other hand, when the vehicle carrier 100 is carrying a vehicle, the plurality of first elastic members 126 can be simultaneously deformed under pressure to act as a buffer, thereby reducing the impact of the instantaneous pressure of the vehicle on the first walking mechanism 12.

[0133] In an embodiment, the first module 10 further comprises a first supporting wheel 127 rotatably connected to the first base body 11. By providing the first supporting wheel 127 on the first module 10, when the vehicle carrier 100 is carrying a vehicle, the first supporting wheel 127 can touch the ground to provide support for the first base body 11, which is conducive to reducing the deformation of the first base body 11, and can also share the pressure of the first driving wheel 122, reduce the wear of the first driving wheel 122, and prolong the service life of the first driving wheel 122. On the other hand, when the vehicle carrier 100 is running on uneven ground, the first module 10 may cause the two first driving wheels 122 to tilt, so that one of the first driving wheels 122 cannot touch the ground, causing the other first driving wheel 122 to bear a larger pressure or causing the vehicle carrier 100 to be unable to run normally.

By controlling the ground clearance of the first supporting wheel 127, when the vehicle carrier 100 is carrying a vehicle and running on a flat ground, the first supporting wheel 127 can contact the ground, the first supporting wheel 127 can provide support for the first base body 11 by touching the ground, which is conducive to reducing the deformation of the first base body 11, and can also share the pressure of the first driving wheel 122, reduce the wear of the first driving wheel 122, and prolong the service life of the first driving wheel 122. On the other hand, when the vehicle carrier 100 is running on uneven ground in a state of carrying a vehicle, the first module 10 may cause the two first driving wheels 122 to tilt, so that one of the first driving wheels 122 cannot touch the ground, causing the other first driving wheel 122 to bear a larger pressure or causing the vehicle carrier 100 to be unable to run normally.

[0154] In an embodiment, along the first direction X, the second support wheel 227 is located on the side away from the second module 20 of the second driving wheel 222.

[0155] In an embodiment, along the first direction X, the second support wheel 227 is located on the side away from the second module 20 of the second driving wheel 222.

[0156] In one embodiment, the second module 20 includes two second support wheels 227, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y, which helps to improve the support stability of the second support wheels 227 on the second base 21.

In one embodiment, along the first direction X, the second support wheel 227 and the fourth support wheel 228 are located on both sides of the second drive wheel 222, respectively. The second support wheel 227 and the fourth support wheel 228 can cooperate to provide support for the second base 21, further reducing the deformation of the second base 21 and decreasing the wear between the second drive wheel 222 and the ground.

[0159] In one embodiment, the fourth support wheel 228 is a swivel wheel.

[0160] like Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the first module 10 further includes a first clamping mechanism 13, which is disposed on the first base 11. The first clamping mechanism 13 is configured to clamp the tires of the vehicle by working, thereby causing the vehicle transporter 100 to lift the vehicle off the ground.

[0161] In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 13 includes a third drive source 131, a first transmission mechanism 132, and two pairs of first clamping arms 133. The third drive source 131 is connected to the first base 11, and the first transmission mechanism 132 is connected to the third drive source 131 and the two pairs of first clamping arms 133.

[0162] Two pairs of first clamping arms 133 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first base 11 along the second direction Y, and each first clamping arm 133 is rotatably connected to the first base 11. One pair of first clamping arms 133 corresponds to one tire of the vehicle, and the other pair of first clamping arms 133 corresponds to the other tire of the vehicle, which are the front tires or the rear tires of the vehicle.

[0163] Each first clamping arm 133 comprises a first connecting end 1331 and a first rotating end 1332 connected with each other. Taking two first clamping arms 133 in a pair as an example, the first connecting ends 1331 of the two first clamping arms 133 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the first rotating ends 1332 of the two first clamping arms 133 are configured to rotate synchronously in opposite directions or away from each other.

[0164] The two first clamping arms 133 in a pair have a first state and a second state.

[0165] When the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair are in the first state, the included angle between the two first clamping arms 133 is between 150° and 210°, and the two first connecting ends 1331 are located between the two first rotating ends 1332. At this time, the first clamping arms 133 are in a retracted state, which is conducive to reducing the influence of the first clamping arms 133 on the width of the vehicle carrier 100 in an empty state and improving the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100. Alternatively, when the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair are in the first state, the included angle between the two first clamping arms 133 is 180°.

[0166] When the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair are in the second state, the included angle between the two first clamping arms 133 is between 0° and 30°, and the two first connecting ends 1331 extend out of the first base body 11. At this time, the first clamping arms 133 are in an open state, and the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair can support the tires of the vehicle. Alternatively, when the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair are in the second state, the included angle between the two first clamping arms 133 is 0°.

[0167] In an embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 is in an empty state, the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair are in the first state, and when the vehicle carrier 100 moves to below the vehicle, the two first clamping arms 133 rotate towards each other in the process of switching from the first state to the second state, thereby clamping and supporting the tires above, so that the vehicle carrier 100 carries the vehicle.

[0168] When the vehicle carrier 100 carrying the vehicle moves to a predetermined area, the two first clamping arms 133 in a pair rotate away from each other in the process of switching from the second state to the first state, thereby releasing the supported tires, and the vehicle carrier 100 places the vehicle in the predetermined area.

[0172] The first screw rod 1321 extends along the first direction X and is rotatably connected to the first base body 11 with the first direction X as an axis. The third driving source 131 is connected to the first screw rod 1321, and the third driving source 131 can drive the first screw rod 1321 to rotate. The first screw rod 1321 has two parts with opposite rotation directions, and each part is sleeved with a first nut 1322.

[0173] The two first connecting plates 1323 are arranged along the first direction X and are movably connected to the first base body 11 along the first direction X. One first connecting plate 1323 is connected to one first nut 1322, and the other first connecting plate 1323 is connected to the other first nut 1322. When the third driving source 131 drives the first screw rod 1321 to rotate, the two first connecting plates 1323 can be driven to move towards or away from each other along the first direction X through the two first nuts 1322.

[0174] Taking one of the first connecting plates 1323 as an example, the first connecting plate 1323 is connected to the first connecting end 1331 of one first clamping arm 133 at one end along the second direction Y and is connected to the first connecting end 1331 of the other first clamping arm 133 at the other end along the second direction Y. The two first clamping arms 133 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0175] Further, any one of the first connecting rods 1324 is connected to the first rotating end 1332 of one first clamping arm 133 and the first base body 11. The first connecting rod 1324 is configured to, when the first connecting plate 1323 drives the first rotating end 1332 of the first clamping arm 133 to move along the first direction X, exert a force on the first rotating end 1332, so that the first rotating end 1332 rotates relative to the first connecting plate 1323, so that the first clamping arm 133 switches between the first state and the second state.

[0176] Further, when the third driving source 131 drives the first screw rod 1321 to rotate, the two first connecting plates 1323 can be driven to move towards or away from each other along the first direction X through the two first nuts 1322, and then the two first connecting plates 1323 drive the first connecting ends 1331 of the four first clamping arms 133 to move, so that the two pairs of first clamping arms 133 switch between the first state and the second state.

[0177] As Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 14As shown, in an embodiment, the second module 20 further comprises a second clamping mechanism 23, which is arranged on the second base body 21 and is configured to clamp a tire of the vehicle by working, so as to facilitate the vehicle mover 100 to move the vehicle off the ground.

[0178] In an embodiment, the second clamping mechanism 23 comprises a fourth driving source 231, a second transmission mechanism 232, and two pairs of second clamping arms 233, the fourth driving source 231 is connected to the second base body 21, the second transmission mechanism 232 connects the fourth driving source 231 and the two pairs of second clamping arms 233.

[0179] The two pairs of second clamping arms 233 are respectively arranged on two sides of the second base body 21 along the second direction Y, and each second clamping arm 233 is rotatably connected to the second base body 21. One pair of second clamping arms 233 corresponds to one tire of the vehicle, and the other pair of second clamping arms 233 corresponds to the other tire of the vehicle, and the two tires are front tires or rear tires of the vehicle.

[0180] Each second clamping arm 233 comprises a second connecting end 2331 and a second rotating end 2332 which are connected to each other. Taking the two second clamping arms 233 in the pair as an example, the second connecting ends 2331 of the two second clamping arms 233 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the second rotating ends 2332 of the two second clamping arms 233 are configured to rotate synchronously towards each other or away from each other.

[0181] The two second clamping arms 233 in the pair have a third state and a fourth state.

[0182] When the two second clamping arms 233 in the pair are in the third state, the included angle between the two second clamping arms 233 is between 150°-210°, and the two second connecting ends 2331 are located between the two second rotating ends 2332. At this time, the second clamping arms 233 are in a retracted state, which is conducive to reducing the influence of the second clamping arms 233 on the width of the vehicle mover 100 in an empty state, and improving the passing performance of the vehicle mover 100. Optionally, when the two second clamping arms 233 in the pair are in the third state, the included angle between the two second clamping arms 233 is 180°.

At this time, the second clamping arms 233 are in an open state, and the two second clamping arms 233 in the pair can support the tire of the vehicle. Optionally, when the two second clamping arms 233 in the pair are in the fourth state, the included angle between the two second clamping arms 233 is 0°.

[0184] In an embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 is in an empty state, the two second clamping arms 233 are in a third state, when the vehicle carrier 100 moves to the position under the vehicle, the two second clamping arms 233 rotate towards each other in the process of switching from the third state to a fourth state, thereby clamping and supporting the tire above, so that the vehicle carrier 100 carries the vehicle.

[0185] When the vehicle carrier 100 moves to the preset area while carrying the vehicle, the two second clamping arms 233 rotate away from each other in the process of switching from the fourth state to the third state, thereby releasing the supported tire, and the vehicle carrier 100 places the vehicle in the preset area.

[0186] In an embodiment, the fourth driving source 231 is a servo motor.

[0188] In an embodiment, the second transmission mechanism 232 includes a second lead screw 2321, two second nuts 2322, two second connecting plates 2323, and four second connecting rods 2324.

[0189] The second lead screw 2321 extends along the first direction X and is rotatably connected to the second base body 21 along the first direction X as an axis. The fourth driving source 231 is connected to the second lead screw 2321, and the fourth driving source 231 can drive the second lead screw 2321 to rotate. The second lead screw 2321 has two parts with opposite rotation directions, and each part is sleeved with a second nut 2322.

[0190] The two second connecting plates 2323 are arranged along the first direction X and are movably connected to the second base body 21 along the first direction X. One second connecting plate 2323 is connected to one second nut 2322, and the other second connecting plate 2323 is connected to the other second nut 2322. When the fourth driving source 231 drives the second lead screw 2321 to rotate, the two second connecting plates 2323 can be driven to move towards each other or away from each other along the first direction X through the two second nuts 2322.

[0191] Taking one of the second connecting plates 2323 as an example, the second connecting plate 2323 is connected to the second connecting end 2331 of one of the second clamping arms 233 at one end along the second direction Y and is connected to the second connecting end 2331 of the other second clamping arm 233 at the other end along the second direction Y. The two second clamping arms 233 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0192] Furthermore, each of the second links 2324 is connected to the second rotating end 2332 of a second clamping arm 233 and the second base 21. The second link 2324 is configured such that when the second connecting plate 2323 drives the second rotating end 2332 of the second clamping arm 233 to move along the first direction X, the second link 2324 applies a force to the second rotating end 2332, causing the second rotating end 2332 to rotate relative to the second connecting plate 2323, thereby switching the second clamping arm 233 between the third state and the fourth state.

[0193] Furthermore, when the fourth drive source 231 drives the second lead screw 2321 to rotate, the two second nuts 2322 can drive the two second connecting plates 2323 to move towards each other or away from each other along the first direction X. In turn, the two second connecting plates 2323 drive the second connecting ends 2331 of the four second clamping arms 233 to move, so that the two pairs of second clamping arms 233 switch between the third state and the fourth state.

[0194] In one embodiment, by having the first clamping mechanism 13 and the second clamping mechanism 23 work synchronously, the four tires of the vehicle can be clamped at the same time to support the load of the vehicle, or the four tires of the vehicle can be released at the same time to place the vehicle in a preset area.

By providing protective plates 40 on the first base 11 and the second base 21, it is beneficial to protect the first module 10 and the second module 20, and reduce the risk of the first base 11 and the second base 21 being damaged by impact.

[0199] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 further comprises a battery (not shown) disposed in the first module 10 or the second module 20 or the third module 30, which can provide power for the power-consuming modules on the vehicle carrier 100, such as the walking mechanism and the clamping mechanism. Optionally, the battery is disposed in the third module 30, which can improve the space utilization of the vehicle carrier 100, reduce the impact of the battery on the mechanisms in the first module 10 / second module 20, reduce the risk of the battery and other structures being stacked in the third direction Z, and reduce the height of the vehicle carrier 100.

[0200] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 further comprises a charging seat 50 disposed in the first module 10 or the second module 20 or the third module 30, which is electrically connected to the battery and can be connected to an external charging device to supplement the power of the battery. In an embodiment, the charging seat 50 is disposed at the end of the first module 10 or the second module 20, which facilitates the docking of the charging seat 50 with the external charging device. In an embodiment, the charging seat 50 comprises a brush plate and brush block module.

[0201] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 further comprises a radar device 60 disposed in the first module 10 or the second module 20 or the third module 30, which can sense the environment to guide the movement of the vehicle carrier 100, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can move autonomously and improve the intelligent level of the vehicle carrier 100.

[0202] In an embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 further comprises a manual operation device 70 connected to the first module 10 or the second module 20 by a cable. When the vehicle carrier 100 fails to work autonomously, the movement of the vehicle body can be manually controlled by controlling the operation device 70.
