The original outrigger support work requires manual operation of the outrigger valve and observation by naked eye to see whether the vehicle body is level. This operation is not only troublesome, but also has low precision and wastes operation time. When the outriggers are retracted after the operation is completed, because the vehicle body is large and the line of sight is blocked, it is necessary to go back and forth to each outrigger position many times to confirm whether the outriggers are in place, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and not smart enough.

[0018] The first support part and the second support part include a first power source, one end of the piston rod of the first power source is connected to the horizontal support leg 2, and the first support part and the second support part are parallel to each other. Both the first support part and the second support part include a retractable support leg, one end of the piston rod of the first power source is hinged to the horizontal support leg 2, and the first power source in this embodiment preferably adopts a first hydraulic rod 4, one end of the piston rod of the first hydraulic rod 4 moves left and right to drive the horizontal support leg 2 to move left and right, and the side wall of the first hydraulic rod 4 on one side of the vehicle body 1 is parallel and fixedly connected to the side wall of the first hydraulic rod 4 on the other side of the vehicle body 1, so that the horizontal support legs 2 on both sides are parallel to each other, thereby providing horizontal leveling support for the vehicle body 1.

[0019] A horizontal leg position detection limit switch 6 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of one end of the first power source, and a second power source is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal leg 2. The horizontal leg position detection limit switch 6 on the outer wall of the first hydraulic rod 4 is used to detect whether the horizontal leg 2 is extended to a specified position length, and then start the second power source.
