[0026] 2. This invention utilizes a hybrid steel-aluminum design concept, resulting in a lightweight vehicle body. This vehicle boasts a high payload capacity, low weight, and a large capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of cargo transport applications. The hybrid steel-aluminum design not only reduces vehicle weight but also ensures vehicle strength and fatigue life.
[0027] 3. Lightweight, it adopts a hybrid structure combining aluminum alloy and high-strength weathering steel. The steel and aluminum are connected by riveting. The riveted structure is stronger than the all-aluminum welding method, which improves the interchangeability of the vehicle body, extends the service life of the vehicle, and reduces defects such as body welding cracks.

The full-enclosed sealing method combining strip brushes and wear plates is adopted. It is targeted at small particle cargoes and protects the integrity of the cargo. At the same time, it improves the processability, reduces the difficulty of welding, and ensures the sealing performance of the bottom door.
[0031] 7. The vehicle bottom door has a large opening size, which enables fast unloading and high cleanliness. The bottom door is a detachable structure, connected to the funnel by bolts, which improves the interchangeability of the bottom door.
[0032] 8. The roof mechanism uses a built-in drive shaft to effectively utilize interior space and reduce vehicle height. The roof is welded from two identical closed box-shaped structures extruded from aluminum alloy, reducing its own weight, lowering the force required to open and close it, simplifying the roof opening and closing system, and improving system efficiency.
[0033] 9. The control system of the bottom door and top cover adopts pneumatic operation. Through the control button module set on the vehicle, it is convenient for the operator to stand on the ground at the end of the vehicle body to perform operations. It is easy to use and simple to operate, reducing labor intensity.
[0034] 10. The top cover and bottom door interlocking control technology realizes the linkage of top cover and bottom door movement, meeting the requirement that the top cover can only be opened and closed when all bottom doors are closed. This ensures driving safety and prevents cargo waste.
[0035] 11. The automatic parking function is realized by adopting the APB braking device, and a single-sided handbrake is configured to ensure manual parking when the APB brake fails, thereby improving the braking safety factor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The bottom door frame assembly 1.3.1 adopts a complex multiple door hole structure, and the door frame assembly 1.3.1 and the bottom door plate assembly 1.3.2 are sealed by a combination of a strip brush and a wear plate. Specifically, the bottom door frame assembly 1.3.1 is designed in a modular manner and adopts a complex multiple door hole structure to increase the unloading area and improve the unloading efficiency.
