The GPS module is used to locate the position of the vehicle and lock and unlock the vehicle; the electric control multi-way valve is used to execute the vehicle motion control command. The parking brake switch is used to determine whether the vehicle can move according to the gear position and the driving direction. The GPS module can locate the position of the whole machine, and can also issue locking and unlocking instructions to the whole machine through the GPS module on the cloud platform. The controller outputs the engine speed control instructions after parsing according to different instructions to complete the locking and unlocking operations. The vehicle body is also provided with a brake pressure sensor for monitoring the parking brake pressure.

[0028] When the hydraulic lock switch is in the off state, push the articulated steering dial wheel 3 to the left and the vehicle will articulate and steer to the right, and push the articulated steering dial wheel 3 to the right and the vehicle will articulate and steer to the left; while pressing the angle adjustment switch 2, push the articulated steering dial wheel 3 at will, and the controller will determine the current articulation state of the whole machine according to the measurement value of the angle sensor. If the whole machine is articulated on the left side at this time, the controller outputs current to control the whole vehicle to articulate and steer to the right, otherwise it will articulate and steer to the left. When the vehicle is articulated in the middle position, the output current is stopped; when the hydraulic lock switch is in the on state, this function is turned off.

[0029] When the hydraulic lock switch is turned on, the vehicle's movement will maintain the current state and will no longer follow the signals of the left and right handles. When the hydraulic lock switch is turned off, the left and right handles will resume control of the vehicle's movement. When the parking brake switch is on, the vehicle is in the parking brake state. At this time, the gearbox always remains in neutral and will no longer follow the left and right handle signals to execute actions such as switching the driving direction and changing the gear position. When the parking brake switch is off, the electronic control handle will resume control of the gearbox.

[0030] When the hydraulic lock switch is in the off state, push the right handle to the left and the blade moves to the left, push the right handle to the right and the blade moves to the right; when the hydraulic lock switch is in the on state, this function is turned off.
