The seabed is rich in strategic mineral resources such as polymetallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts and submarine hydrothermal sulfide, which has great development potential and is of great significance to guarantee national resource security and promote the development of new material industry. As a key equipment in the deep-sea mining system, the deep-sea mining vehicle undertakes the core tasks of on-site collection, preliminary sorting, transportation and storage of minerals, and its performance directly affects the operation efficiency, resource recovery rate and environmental impact level of the mining system, and has become one of the core technical bottlenecks restricting the industrialization of deep-sea mining. The current deep-sea mining vehicle often faces extreme environmental conditions such as high pressure, low temperature, strong corrosion and complex terrain, which puts high requirements on its structural strength, motion performance, system stability and operation reliability. In actual application, the mining vehicle often works in a state of continuous high load and high frequency vibration. If the system design is not reasonable, it is easy to have problems such as high energy consumption, slow response, poor adaptability and short service life, which seriously restricts the mining efficiency and engineering economy. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a deep-sea mining vehicle with high performance, light weight and high integration for promoting the engineering and intelligent development of deep-sea mining equipment.

Most of the current design methods focus on the optimization of local systems, such as transmission systems, collection systems or vehicle body structures, and lack overall optimization of the coupling relationship between the integrated system of the whole vehicle, which easily leads to performance inconsistency between systems, affecting the operation stability and mineral collection efficiency of the whole machine; 3. The traditional design lacks consideration of light weight, and the vehicle body structure is seriously redundant designed, which is not conducive to promoting the energy efficiency and deep range operation ability of the mining equipment; 4. The existing technology mainly relies on experience design in terms of material selection, function integration and structure optimization, lacks systematic multi-objective optimization method, and it is difficult to realize the coordination and unity of light weight and high productivity under the premise of ensuring the safety of the equipment.
