The roads in complex terrains are rough, have large slopes and small turning radii, which pose higher requirements for vehicle power, stability and passability. Existing refrigerated trucks often face problems such as insufficient power, difficult climbing, and too large turning radius under complex terrains. Moreover, frequent starts and stops and jolts are likely to cause a decline in the efficiency of the refrigeration system, making it difficult to maintain a stable low-temperature environment and affecting the quality of agricultural products.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, a telescopic wheel-leg type agricultural grain transportation robot is provided, including a box body 2. The box body 2 is provided with a communication module 13. By using the communication module 13, wireless communication between the robot and external devices is realized. The interior of the box body 2 is divided into a refrigeration area 2-2 arranged horizontally and a back refrigeration equipment area 2-3 by a heat conducting plate 2-1. An ice bag lifting device 3, a freezing fan 2-9, a freezing air duct 2-10 and an ice bag transportation device 2-11 are arranged inside the back refrigeration equipment area 2-3. Cold air is evenly transported to the refrigeration area 2-2 through the freezing air duct 2-10 to realize cold air circulation refrigeration. The cold air circulates through the freezing fan 2-9 and the freezing air duct 2-10, and combined with the auxiliary refrigeration of ice bags, an efficient refrigeration effect is achieved. The ice bag lifting device 3 is composed of an ice bag grabbing robotic arm 3-1, a mechanical gripper 3-2, a lifting frame 3-3, a lifting table 3-4 and a telescopic multi-layer table 3-5. A pressure sensor 14 is arranged on the mechanical gripper 3-2. The rear end of the robotic arm 3-1 is coaxially connected with the lifting frame 3-3 through a bearing 3-6. The front end of the robotic arm 3-1 is rotationally connected with the mechanical gripper 3-2, so that the mechanical gripper 3-2 grabs the ice bag and rotates around the bearing 3-6 through the robotic arm 3-1 to place the ice bag on the telescopic multi-layer table 3-5. When the pressure sensor 14 detects a pressure change, it transmits a signal to the single-chip microcomputer. After receiving the signal, the single-chip microcomputer controls the automatic lifting of the lifting frame 3-3, and the single-chip microcomputer controls the motors of the robotic arm 3-1 and the mechanical gripper 3-2 in the ice bag lifting device 3 to act.

[0031] Further, the ice bag transportation device 2-11 includes a central column 2-12, a connecting rod 2-19, an ice bag placement box 2-13, and rollers 2-15. The ice bag placement box 2-13 is used to place ice bags. The rear end of the central column 2-12 is fixedly connected to the box body 2, realizing that one end of the central column 2-12 is fixed inside the box body, and the length of the central column 2-12 is adjustable. Through telescoping, the purpose of changing the position of the ice bag is achieved. The front section of the central column 2-12 is rotatably connected to the ice bag placement box 2-13 through the connecting rod 2-19, and the ice bag in the ice bag placement box 2-13 is placed on the porous plate 2-16 through rotation. Using a Raspberry Pi as the main controller, running the logic of visual recognition and robotic arm grasping control, using a camera to capture images with the default resolution, first reading the video stream through a visual recognition algorithm. Due to the reflective, semi-transparent, and irregularly shaped characteristics of the ice bag and considering the computing power limitation of the Raspberry Pi, we need to preprocess the video image to ensure the accuracy of detection and grasping: for denoising, Gaussian blur or median filtering is used to eliminate camera noise, making the image adaptively histogram equalized to improve uneven illumination and avoid overexposure of the reflective area of the ice bag. The image is converted to the HSV space, the color area of the ice bag is segmented through thresholding, and the image contour is strengthened by edge detection. Finally, the size is normalized and scaled, a pre-trained model is loaded, inference is performed on each frame of the image, template matching is performed on the video stream, the contour of the ice bag is detected, and the pixel coordinates and confidence of the center point of the bounding box of the ice bag are output. The detection results with a confidence higher than the threshold are screened to avoid misjudgment. The robotic gripper in the ice bag lifting device performs the task of grasping the ice bag according to the coordinates. At the front ends of both sides of the ice bag placement box 2-13, rollers 2-15 are provided. On both inner sides of the box body 2, tracks 2-14 are provided. The rollers 2-15 move smoothly within the tracks 2-14.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of retractable inclined small platforms 4 are arranged inside the refrigeration area 2-2, and the plurality of retractable inclined small platforms 4 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction. To achieve the telescopic control of the retractable inclined small platform according to the size of the crops, ultrasonic sensors 17 are installed at the retractable inclined small platform 4, which can measure the distance between the crops and the retractable small platform 4 in real time, so as to judge the size of the crops. The ultrasonic sensors 17 transmit the measurement data to the single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer calculates the appropriate telescopic length according to the preset algorithm, realizing the precise telescoping of the telescopic platform, optimizing the space utilization, and improving the space utilization rate. The retractable inclined small platform 4 includes a first telescopic part 4-2, and the first telescopic part 4-2 is in contact with the heat conduction plate 2-1, achieving the effect of fixing the rear end of the retractable small platform 4 and fixing the overall position, ensuring the efficient transfer of cold air to the crops. A temperature sensor 4-1 is arranged at the bottom of the retractable small platform 4, which transmits the real-time and accurate temperature data of the refrigeration area measured through the single-bus protocol to the microcontroller D 20, so that the microcontroller D20 can regulate the working of refrigeration equipment such as the rotation speed of the refrigeration fan according to the preset temperature range. Porous plates 2-16, retractable ice bag partition plates 2-17 and LED light-emitting sealing strips 2-18 are arranged at the top and bottom of the refrigeration area 2-2. During transportation, the cold air is dissipated into the interior of the refrigeration area 2-2 through the porous plates 2-16. The retractable ice bag partition plate 2-17 is embeddedly connected with the porous plate 2-16. When transporting ice bags, the retractable ice bag partition plate 2-17 is embedded in the porous plate 2-16. When the ice bag transportation is completed, the retractable partition plate 2-17 rises to separate the ice bags to fixed positions, facilitating the rapid replacement of ice bags and the uniform distribution of cold air. A sealing strip 2-18 is connected to the outside of the porous plate 2-16, enhancing the sealing performance of the refrigeration area 2-2 and reducing the loss of cold air.

[0033] Furthermore, a handle 2-4 is arranged at the top of the box body 2, a large nut 2-5 is embedded at the bottom of the box body 2, embedded connectors 2-6 are arranged at the bottoms of the four corners of the box body 2, and a buffer spring D 2-7 is fixed at the bottom of the embedded connector 2-6 to achieve a buffering effect during operation on complex terrains. The box body 2 is bolted to the base 2-8 to achieve a detachable effect; an ultrasonic distance sensor 10 and a six-axis tilt sensor 11 are arranged at the front end of the base. The ultrasonic distance sensor 10 calculates the distance to the obstacle in front by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, providing data support for the obstacle-crossing action of the robotic leg. The six-axis tilt sensor 11 is carried to measure the tilt angle and acceleration of the robot in three-dimensional space, and the microcontroller judges the terrain slope accordingly, and then adjusts the attitude and movement mode of the robotic leg.

[0034] Further, four climbable robotic legs 1 are connected to both sides of the base 2-8. The robotic leg 1 includes a telescopic unit 5, a thigh unit 6, a calf unit 7, and a tire 8. The telescopic unit 5 includes a central rod 5-1, a cavity 5-2, and a multi-stage hydraulic rod 5-3. The central rod 5-1 is fixedly connected to the multi-stage hydraulic rod 5-3. The telescopic unit 5 is telescoped through the multi-stage hydraulic rod 5-3. The telescoping of the multi-stage hydraulic system is driven by a dedicated hydraulic control circuit, which receives instructions from the central controller and controls the telescoping speed and length of the multi-stage hydraulic by precisely adjusting the magnitude and direction of the current, thereby realizing the flexible up-and-down telescoping action of the robotic leg 1. The telescopic unit 5 is connected to the thigh unit 6 and the calf unit 7 through the central rod 5-1 and a boss 7-9 to form a rotating structure. The bottom of the multi-stage hydraulic rod 5-3 is fixedly connected to the boss 7-9.

[0035] Further, the other end of the calf unit 7 is connected to a cross-shaped bottom plate structure 7-1.

The calf unit 7 includes a central rod B 7-10, a cylindrical hollow entity 7-11, a bearing C 7-4, a housing 7-8, a boss 7-9, a buffer spring B 7-5, a servo motor 7-6, and a hydraulic cylinder 7-7. A central rod B 7-10 is provided at the top of the calf unit 7. The central rod 7-10 is coaxially connected to the buffer spring C 6-4 to achieve the connection effect between the thigh unit 6 and the calf unit 7. The buffer spring C 6-4 is bolted to the bearing C 7-4 to achieve a buffering effect and reduce the impact of vibration and shock on the entire system. The bearing C 7-4 is coaxially connected to a rigid rod 7-12 to form a moving structure. A rigid rod 7-12 is arranged inside the triangular cavity 6-3. When the calf unit 7 is impacted by an obstacle, the rigid rod 7-12 can move freely inside the triangular cavity 6-3, providing a buffering and adjusting space for the robotic leg 1. The arm rotating shaft 6-2 is bolted to the housing 7-8. The rotation of the arm rotating shaft, in cooperation with the rigid rod 7-12, meets the requirement of wheel-leg movement for adapting to complex terrains. The buffer spring B 7-5 is fixedly connected to the servo motor 7-6. The bottom of the servo motor 7-6 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic cylinder 7-7. For controlling the servo motor 7-6 and the hydraulic cylinder 7-7, a dedicated motor drive module 17 is used. This module receives the control signal sent by the microcontroller D and precisely regulates the rotation angle of the servo motor 7-6 and the telescopic length of the hydraulic cylinder 7-7. The control circuit of the servo motor 7-6 adjusts the speed and torque of the motor according to a preset program or real-time feedback signals to ensure the precise rotation of each joint of the robotic leg 1. The control circuit of the hydraulic cylinder 7-7 adjusts the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic oil so that the hydraulic cylinder 7-7 can accurately extend and retract, and cooperate with the buffer spring B to achieve the buffering and obstacle-crossing functions.

[0036] Further, the thigh unit 6 includes a horizontal arm 6-1, an arm rotating shaft 6-2, a triangular cavity 6-3, and a buffer spring C 6-4. The horizontal arm 6-1 serves as a basic support component and plays a role in transmitting force. One end of the thigh unit 6 is rotatably connected to the base 2-8 through a bearing 6-5. The robotic leg 1 forms a stable swinging structure on both sides of the base 2-8. This swinging structure endows the robotic leg 1 with flexible movement ability.

[0037] Further, a piezoelectric stack structure 8-1 is disposed inside the tire 8. The piezoelectric stack structure 8-1 is composed of a material with a high piezoelectric coefficient. The piezoelectric stack structure 8-1 includes a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 8-2, a connection layer 8-3, a positive electrode sheet 8-4, a negative electrode sheet 8-5, a support structure 8-6, and a lead-out electrode 8-7. A power management module 16 composed of a power conversion chip, a charge management chip, an energy storage capacitor, etc. rectifies, filters, and stabilizes the electric energy generated by the piezoelectric stack structure 8-1 inside the tire and stores it in the battery.

[0038] During use, first place the required ice bags in the ice bag placement box 2-13. The ice bags are transported to the porous plate 2-16 through the rolling of the rollers 2-15 in the tracks 2-14 on both sides of the box body 2 and the telescoping of the central column 2-12. The mechanical gripper 3-2 in the ice bag lifting device 3 grabs the ice bags and places them on the retractable multi-layer platform 3-5 by rotating the robotic arm 3-1. Under the control of the pressure sensor 14 and the single-chip microcomputer, the ice bag lifting device 3 lifts the ice bags to the designated position, activates the ice bag partition plate 2-16 to separate the ice bags in different areas, activates the refrigeration blower 2-9, and monitors the temperature of the refrigerated area 2-2 in real time through the temperature sensor 4-1 to ensure a constant temperature. The cold air circulates in a figure-eight shape in the refrigeration air duct 2-10, so that the cold air is evenly distributed inside the box body 2, enabling the agricultural products to be in the best refrigerated state. Adjust the position of the retractable inclined platform 4 to stably place the crops. During transportation, the piezoelectric stack structure 8-1 inside the tire 8 is squeezed to generate an electric field, providing electric energy for the refrigeration blower 2-9 and the servo motor 7-6, enabling the entire device to operate continuously. When encountering an obstacle, the hydraulic cylinder 7-7 extends to drive the tire 8 to lift, and the hydraulic cylinder 7-7 contracts, cooperating with the buffer spring B 7-5 to achieve a buffering effect and maintain the stability of the transport vehicle. The telescopic unit 5 of the mechanical leg 1 realizes up and down telescoping through the multi-stage hydraulic rod 5-3, driving the thigh unit 6 and the calf unit 7 to move in coordination. Combining the shock-absorbing effects of the buffer spring A 7-2 and the buffer spring C 6-4, a swinging effect is generated, enabling the mechanical leg 1 to cross the obstacle. After arriving at the destination, through the tilting function of the retractable platform 4, the crops are unloaded from the refrigerated area 2-2.
