[0019] In the four-wheel drive steering mechanism 110, each wheel is driven by an independent hydraulic motor, and the steering drive module adopts an electric servo mechanism, which can adjust the wheel steering angle from 0° to 90°, and the steering angle accuracy is ±1°.

[0020] The hydraulic drive system of the four-wheel drive steering mechanism 110 shares a set of high-pressure hydraulic pump station 240 with the mechanical arm 210, the anchor drill rig 230, and the hydraulic lifting mechanism 221. The hydraulic pump station 240 is integrated inside the chassis 120, with a maximum output pressure of 16MPa and a flow range of 0-100L / min.

[0021] The control module 400 supports multi-mode switching logic: manual mode: control movement and robotic arm action through the cab operating lever; remote control mode: control movement, robotic arm action and start and stop of the anchor drill rig through the wireless remote control 440; following mode: identify the target path through the laser radar 310 and the visual camera 320, follow the preset trajectory or the movement of the operator; autonomous driving mode: build a three-dimensional map of the mine based on the SLAM algorithm, plan the optimal path and avoid obstacles.
