For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood based on the description and drawings combined with specific circumstances.

[0027] It is adapted to material storage points at different heights and the transportation needs of heavy materials, so please refer to Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution: a material transport robot for construction engineering, comprising a rack 4 for transporting materials, a transport device 1 and a folding drive mechanism 3 installed on the transport device 1;

[0028] The above-mentioned rack 4 is a carrier for contacting and transporting materials. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it is a plate body; at the same time, in the actual application stage, a railing can be set on the upper part of the rack 4 to prevent the material from tilting and spilling; at the same time, a damping plate can also be set on the rack 4 to increase the friction force of the material;

[0029] In some specific embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 3-4 : The folding drive mechanism 3 includes a first and a second linear degree of freedom, wherein the first linear degree of freedom drives the lifting and stroke position of the second linear degree of freedom, and the second linear degree of freedom is used to drive the height position of the storage rack 4; different folding drive mechanisms 3 are stacked up and down.

[0030] In some specific embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1-2 : The transport device 1 is a wheeled vehicle or a tracked vehicle, preferably a tracked vehicle;

[0032] At the same time, in this specific embodiment, the crawler vehicle is remote-controlled, and it can also be based on the existing AGV technology with AGV sensors, and use the laying of ground magnetic tracks to realize unmanned remote control and unmanned transportation functions of the crawler vehicle; at the same time, based on the above-mentioned driving mode, a controller is provided on the outside of the crawler vehicle for controlling all electrical components in the device; at the same time, it is equipped with a battery for powering all electrical components in the device;

[0033] Based on the above-mentioned cooperative driving mode, the mechanical arm 2 is a prior art component, wherein the mechanical arm 2 clamps the materials stored outside the crawler vehicle and transports them to the storage rack 4 by manually controlling the driving trajectory;

[0034] At the same time, based on Figures 1-2 As shown, when the size of the rack 4 is large, different mechanical arms 2 can be arranged around the rack 4, or a long arm structure can be adopted for the mechanical arm 2;
