[0067] Meanwhile, the top of the support leg 8 is provided with a second rotating hole 82 for the second rotating rod 72 to rotate and engage.

The spring 93 is used to reset the limit wheel mechanism 92.

[0069] Meanwhile, the support wheel mechanism 10 includes a support wheel connecting frame 101, which is slidably fitted on the third rotating rod 86. Support wheels 103 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the support wheel connecting frame 101. A limiting protrusion 102 is provided on the other side of the support wheel connecting frame 101 away from the support leg 8. A third rotating hole 1011 is opened on the top of the support wheel connecting frame 101. The limiting protrusion 102 is hemispherical and can be blocked by the support wheel limiting unit 9.

[0070] In this embodiment, the vehicle frame of the present invention can be used in outdoor work and surveying environments. When the vehicle frame moves forward or backward, the operator controls the electric wheels 1 through the drive component 3. The drive component 3 is used for control and power supply. When moving forward or backward in a straight line, the electric wheels 1 on both sides can be controlled to rotate synchronously. When turning, the electric wheels 1 can turn in place by relying on the internal hub motor. It is only necessary to control the electric wheels 1 on both sides to rotate in opposite directions. This makes it easy for the vehicle frame of the present invention to complete the turning operation in a small and effective space.

[0071] Furthermore, during the vehicle's movement, the three universal wheels 23 of the universal wheel mechanism 2 achieve a larger contact area, making the vehicle's movement more stable and the steering of the three universal wheels 23 more flexible.

[0072] When the vehicle encounters obstacles with high road heights during its journey, the hub motor of the electric wheel 1 is not powerful enough to drive the front universal wheel mechanism 2 directly over the obstacle. In this case, it is necessary to control the obstacle-crossing height-increasing unit 03 to lift the movable frame 022.

[0073] When the obstacle-crossing height-increasing unit 03 is not in contact with the ground, the height of the support wheel mechanism 10 is higher than that of the universal wheel mechanism 2. When it is necessary to support the movable frame 022, the drive mechanisms 5 on both sides are controlled to pull the support legs 8 synchronously, and the second servo electric cylinder 51 is controlled to drive the piston rod 52 to retract. The piston rod 52 pulls the connecting frame 53, thereby realizing that the connecting frame 53 pulls the push frame 6 on one side. When the push frame 6 moves, the push rod 62 will move laterally at the first push rod movement groove 711. When the movable groove 711 moves laterally toward the main frame 01, because the push rod 62 is also in the second push rod movable groove 81, when the push rod 62 moves, the support leg 8 rotates around the second rotating rod 72 as the axis. Under the restriction of the first push rod movable groove 711, the push rod 62 is always moved in a horizontal straight line. When the push rod 62 moves in a horizontal straight line, the push rod 62 will drive the support leg 8 to rotate counterclockwise around the second rotating rod 72 as the axis, so that the height of its support wheel mechanism 10 can slowly decrease.

[0074] As the support wheel mechanism 10 descends, its height gradually decreases below that of the universal wheel mechanism 2. Once it falls below the height of the universal wheel mechanism 2, the support wheel mechanism 10 contacts the ground and, in conjunction with the connecting frame 021, enables the main frame 01 to be supported by the support legs 8 and the universal wheel mechanism 2 at the bottom of the connecting frame 021. Meanwhile, as the support legs 8 gradually lift the main frame 01, the movable frame 022 will rise, and the height of the universal wheel mechanism 2 at the bottom of the movable frame 022 will increase.

[0075] Furthermore, due to the angular relationship between the support wheel mechanism 10 and the support leg 8, the support wheel mechanism 10, when landing, works with the support wheel limiting unit 9 to prevent it from rotating and retracting.

[0076] After the movable frame 022 is raised, the operator controls the pushing mechanism 4. Because the movable frame 022 is raised, the electric wheel 1 is suspended in the air. In order to ensure that the electric wheel 1 can provide power, the operator controls the pushing mechanism 4 to press the electric wheel 1 down. The first servo cylinder 41 pushes its piston rod downward, driving the connecting plate 42 and the push plate 43 on one side to press the movable frame 022 down. The movable frame 022 is rotated on the first rotating rod 0221 and engaged with the second rotating seat 024. When the push plate 43 presses the movable frame 022 down, the movable frame 022 can rotate around the first rotating rod 0221 as the axis, so that the universal wheel mechanism 2 on one side is raised, while the electric wheel 1 is pressed down to contact the ground, which can provide forward power.

[0077] After the electric wheel 1 contacts the ground, it can be controlled to drive the main frame 01 forward. At this time, the omnidirectional wheel mechanism 2 raised at the front will pass over the obstacle and be positioned above the higher ground. Then, the drive mechanism 5 will be controlled to extend the piston rod 52, thereby raising and retracting the support leg 8. The omnidirectional wheel mechanism 2 raised at the front will be placed on the higher ground. When the support leg 8 is raised and retracted, if the support wheel mechanism 10 comes into contact with an obstacle, the support wheel mechanism 10 will be restricted by the obstacle. When the support leg 8 rotates, the support wheel connecting frame 101 of the support wheel mechanism 10 will rotate with the third rotating rod 86, thereby realizing the rotation and retraction of the support wheel mechanism 10 as a whole. This ensures that the support wheel mechanism 10 will not be affected by obstacles during the raising of the support leg 8, preventing the support leg 8 from being unable to retract.

[0078] Furthermore, when the support wheel mechanism 10 is not restricted by any obstacle, the support wheel limiting unit 9 will push the support wheel mechanism 10 to reset. At this time, the spring 93 on the first slide rod 923 is compressed by external force and becomes contracted. Without external force restriction, the spring 93 releases elastic potential energy, thereby driving the first slide rod 923 to move at the first slide hole 912. The second slide rods 924 on both sides ensure that the wheel seat 921 always moves in a straight line. When the wheel seat 921 moves in a straight line, the pulley 922 will push the hemispherical limiting protrusion 102, thereby pushing the support wheel mechanism 10 to rotate and reset.

[0079] After the support frame 8 retracts and lifts, the raised caster mechanism 2 will be on a higher ground. Since one caster mechanism 2 is already on a higher ground, the operator can easily pass the obstacle by controlling the electric wheel 1 to move forward. The last caster mechanism 2 can pass even more easily because the front movable frame 022 is already on a higher ground.

[0080] In this invention, the wheel frame 02 enables the outdoor equipment frame to be more flexible. When turning around in a narrow space, the electric wheel 1 can turn around on the spot. When the universal wheel mechanism 2 cannot pass directly due to an obstacle, the obstacle-crossing lifting unit 03 can effectively lift the universal wheel mechanism 2, thereby effectively crossing the obstacle. This allows the movable frame 022 to overcome the obstructing obstacles. The frame of this invention enables the outdoor equipment to be more flexible and to travel in more complex terrains.

[0081] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
