[0037] As a deployment mode of the large arm 1 of the present application, before deployment, the large arm 1 is in a storage state, energization is performed to make the lock head of the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 depart from the second lock hole 6-2, thereby opening the first electromagnetic lock 6-1, and energization is performed to open the straight lock 33 between the proximal section 1-1 and the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and between the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3, first, the proximal section 1-1 is driven by the first steering engine 21 to rotate outwardly and counterclockwise by a certain angle, and the fourth steering engine 24 is operated to loosen the third traction line 16, at this time, the second repeating section 1-3 rotates clockwise by a certain angle with the hinge 37 between the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 as the center; then the second traction line 15 is retracted by the third steering engine 23, thereby pulling the proximal first repeating section 1-2 to rotate counterclockwise with the hinge 37 between the proximal section 1-1 and the proximal first repeating section 1-2 as the center, and the fourth steering engine 24 is operated to simultaneously retract the third traction line 16, thereby pulling the second repeating section 1-3 to rotate clockwise with the hinge 37 between the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 as the center, both rotate simultaneously until the straight lock 33 between the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 is locked; then the fourth steering engine 24 is operated to loosen the third traction line 16, and then the third steering engine 23 continues to retract the second traction line 15 until the straight lock 33 between the proximal section 1-1 and the proximal first repeating section 1-2 is locked; at this time, the proximal section 1-1, the proximal first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 form an entirety, and the effect is equivalent to the proximal section 1-1 in the above process, and the large arm 1 can be completely deployed by repeating the above operation.
[0038] As a storage mode of the large arm 1 of the present application, before storage, the large arm 1 is in an unfolded state, the bend-straight lock 33 between the distal end section 1-4 and the distal end first repeating section 1-2 is opened by energization, the first steering wheel 21 is manipulated to swing inwards by a certain angle, the fourth steering wheel 24 is manipulated to loosen the third traction line 16, at this time, the distal end section 1-4 rotates anticlockwise by a certain angle with the hinge 37 between the distal end first repeating section 1-2 and the distal end section 1-4 as the center; then the second traction line 15 is retracted by the third steering wheel 23, and the distal end section 1-4 is further pulled to rotate anticlockwise with the hinge 37 between the distal end first repeating section 1-2 and the distal end section 1-4 as the center, until the bend-straight lock 33 between the distal end section 1-4 and the distal end first repeating section 1-2 is locked, and the third steering wheel 23 stops retraction; then the bend-straight lock 33 between the distal end first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 is opened, the fourth steering wheel 24 is manipulated to retract the third traction line 16, and the distal end first repeating section 1-2 is further pulled to rotate clockwise with the hinge 37 between the second repeating section 1-3 and the distal end first repeating section 1-2 as the center, until the bend-straight lock 33 between the distal end first repeating section 1-2 and the second repeating section 1-3 is locked, and the fourth steering wheel 24 stops retraction; at this time, the distal end section 1-4, the second repeating section 1-3 and the distal end first repeating section 1-2 form an integral whole, and its function is equivalent to that of the distal end section 1-4 in the above process, and the above operation is repeated to fix all the bend-straight locks 33 again; finally, the second traction line 15 is retracted by the fourth steering wheel 24 to pull the distal end section 1-4 to the position below the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 for locking, and the storage of the large arm 1 is completed.
[0039] Further, taking the left large arm 1 as an example, the end of the second traction line 15 is fixedly connected with the fixed rope ring 25 at the left front end of the distal end section 1-4, the middle part of the second traction line 15 passes through the holes of the fixed rope ring 25 at the left side of the large arm 1 and the fixed rope ring 25 at the left side of the box body 12, and the end of the third traction line 16 is fixedly connected with the fixed rope ring 25 at the right side of the distal end section 1-4. Taking the unfolding of the proximal end first repeating section 1-2 of the large arm 1 during the unfolding process as an example, during unfolding, the second traction line 15 is retracted by the third steering wheel 23, the fixed rope ring 25 at the front end of the proximal end section 1-1 and the fixed rope ring 25 at the end of the proximal end first repeating section 1-2 are pulled to reduce the distance between them, and the proximal end first repeating section 1-2 is further pulled to rotate outwards, and finally the proximal end first repeating section 1-2 is unfolded; taking the storage of the distal end section 1-4 during the storage process of the large arm 1 as an example, during storage, the second traction line 15 is retracted by the third steering wheel 23, the fixed rope ring 25 at the end of the distal end section 1-4 and the fixed rope ring 25 at the front end of the distal end first repeating section 1-2 are pulled to reduce the distance between them, and the distal end section 1-4 is further pulled to rotate outwards, and finally the distal end section 1-4 is stored.
[0040] Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 is arranged at the position below the distal end section 1-4, and the second electromagnetic lock 6-2 is arranged at the position below the second repeating section 1-3. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the second locking hole 6-2 is arranged in the middle of the front end of the distal segment 1-4, and the bottom of the second locking hole 6-2 is provided with a pressure sensor for detecting whether the lock head of the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 enters the second locking hole 6-2. When the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 is not powered, the lock head is lifted by the internal spring, and after being powered, the lock head is retracted. When the distal segment 1-4 moves below the first electromagnetic lock 6-1, the distal segment 1-4 lifts the lock head of the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 upward, and when the lock head moves into the second locking hole 6-2, the pressure sensor is triggered, thereby controlling the fourth steering engine 24 to stop winding, and at the same time, the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 is locked.
[0041] Further, as shown in Figure 7 The lower surface of the first motor 31 is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the fourth steering engine 24, and the driving wheel of the first motor 31 drives the first motor 31 to move along the track 9 by friction with the inner surface of the track 9, thereby dragging the distal segment 1-4 below the first electromagnetic lock 6-1 for locking.
[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The straight bending lock 33 includes a second electromagnetic lock 33-1, an arc-shaped track 33-2, and a first locking hole 33-3. The second electromagnetic lock 33-1 and the arc-shaped track 33-2 are both fixed above the shell 27. The upper part of the starting end and the end of the arc-shaped track 33-2 are both provided with the first locking hole 33-3, and the upper surface of the first locking hole 33-3 is provided with a pressure sensor for detecting whether the lock head of the second electromagnetic lock 33-1 enters the first locking hole 33-3. The second electromagnetic lock 33-1 can move relatively along the arc-shaped track 33-2. When the second electromagnetic lock 33-1 is not powered, the lock head is lifted by the internal spring, and after being powered, the lock head is retracted. Taking the straight bending lock 33 changing from the first locking hole 33-3 at the starting end to the first locking hole 33-3 at the end as an example, first, the lock head is retracted by power to open the straight bending lock 33, and then the second electromagnetic lock 33-1 moves relatively along the arc-shaped track 33-2 while releasing the lock head. At this time, the lock head is lifted by the spring in the second electromagnetic lock 33-1 and moves closely to the upper surface of the arc-shaped track 33-2. When the lock head reaches the position of the first locking hole 33-3 at the end, the lock head enters the first locking hole 33-3 at the end under the action of the spring, thereby locking the straight bending lock 33 again.
[0043] By imitating the folding and unfolding mode of the forearms of the praying mantis, the space occupied by the device under static conditions is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, on this basis, a repeated structure unit is introduced: the first repeated segment 1-2 and the second repeated segment 1-3 at the distal end, which are alternately inserted into the large arm, so that the length of the large arm 1 can be adjusted as needed to meet the needs under different cleaning conditions.

The first and second wire collecting holes 22-1 and 22-2 are arranged at the front end of the second rudder 22, and the two ends of the first traction line 14 are fixed in the first and second wire collecting holes 22-1 and 22-2, respectively. The middle part of the first traction line 14 is fixed in the hole at the upper end of the brush piece 2, so that the brush piece 2 swings back and forth with the extension and retraction of the first traction line 14. The first traction line 14 is arranged from the first wire collecting hole 22-1, passes through the holes at the upper ends of a plurality of brush pieces 2, and returns to the second wire collecting hole 22-2 through the two fixed rope rings 25 fixed on the lower surface of the farthest end of the large arm 1. During cleaning, the first wire collecting hole 22-1 retracts the first traction line 14 to drive the brush piece 2 to move backward, and the second wire collecting hole 22-2 retracts the first traction line 14 to drive the brush piece 2 to move forward. The rotation speed of the eccentric wheel motor 12-1 and the exchange speed of the two wire collecting holes of the second rudder 22 are controlled by the microcontroller 4, so that the frequencies of the two are the same, thereby realizing the circular swing of the brush piece 2 and achieving the effect of gathering fallen leaves.

Meanwhile, the use of the front-end collecting module greatly increases the range of fallen leaves collected by the device. In addition, the large arm of the device can be rotated by the rudder, improving the adaptability of the device to different width roads. Example three
