The first metal shaft (701) and the second metal shaft (708) have the same effect and are listed last. Two sets of strong magnets (706) are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the track body (703). When the track body (703) is in use, the entire track body (703) is rolled up above the first metal shaft (701), and then the front end of the track body (703) is pulled to the second metal shaft (708) and attracted to it by the strong magnets (706). The buckle rope (707) hangs down naturally to one to two centimeters above the front wheel. As the robot rotates, the buckle will hook onto the buckle rope, thereby freeing the track body (703) from the restraint of the second metal shaft (708) and moving with the front wheel (601) until the lowest end separates. When the rear wheel (3) rolls over the front end of the track body (703), the track body (703) will be attracted by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic magnet (4) above the rear wheel (3) and move upward to the rear end of the track body (703). Since the attraction of the strong magnet (706) is greater than that of the magnetic magnet (4) and the metal shaft, the track body (703) is freed from the restraint of the rear wheel (3) and attracts the rear end of the track body (703), thus completing the fixation of the head and tail.

2. The quick-change track structure for landing wheeled robots in sandy or muddy terrain according to claim 1, characterized in that: The hind limbs (2) and forelimbs (5) are arranged in two sets on the front and rear sides of the robot body (1), and the rolling magnets (4) are arranged in six sets symmetrically along the vertical line of the rear wheel (3).

3. The quick-change track structure for landing of a wheeled robot in sand or mud as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The rear wheel (3) and the front wheel (601) are respectively provided with two sets on one side of the hind limb (2) and the forelimb (5). The longitudinal spring (603) is fixedly connected to two sets on the upper surface of the longitudinal push rod (602), and is symmetrically arranged with respect to the vertical line of the push rod.

4. The quick-change track structure for landing of a wheeled robot in sand or mud as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The center of the longitudinal displacement block (604) is hollowed out and is provided with a push-out block, which presses against the transverse displacement block (608) when it is not pressed, and pushes it upward after the transverse displacement block (608) is pressed.

5. The quick-change track structure for landing wheeled robots in sandy or muddy terrain according to claim 1, characterized in that: The anti-slip texture (610) is provided in multiple sets on one side surface of the manual button (609). When the longitudinal push rod (602) and the transverse push rod (606) of the locking front wheel mechanism (6) are damaged, manual operation can be achieved by pressing the manual button (609) and the buckle (605) to replace and install the track.

6. The quick-change track structure for landing of a wheeled robot in sand or mud as described in claim 1, characterized in that: Two sets of transverse springs (607) are provided on one side surface of the transverse push rod (606). The center of the transverse displacement block (608) is hollowed out. When the transverse displacement block (608) moves, the longitudinal displacement block (604) can pass through the center of the transverse displacement block (608) and push upward.

7. The quick-change track structure for landing wheeled robots in sandy or muddy terrain according to claim 1, characterized in that: The first anti-slip protrusion (704) is located on the side of the track body (703) facing the robot wheel. It consists of multiple anti-slip spots and effectively prevents the track body (703) from falling off the wheel. The second anti-slip protrusion (705) is located on the side of the track body (703) facing the ground. It consists of multiple stripes and effectively prevents the track body (703) from slipping when the robot moves.
