[0022] Working process:

[0023] When it is necessary to transport fruits or agricultural supplies in the field, the staff place the packed fruits or agricultural supplies on the carriage 12, and then fix the fruits or agricultural supplies on the carriage 12 and the limit handrail 121 with ropes. The limit handrail 121 increases the quantity of fruits or agricultural supplies placed. After placing, the engine 2 is started. The engine 2 drives the driving wheel 31 to rotate, drives the first rotating shaft 32, the first driven wheel 33, and the second driven wheel 71 to rotate through the belt 34. The second driven wheel 71 is connected to the third driven wheel 73 through the second belt 74. The rotation of the second driven wheel 71 drives the second rotating shaft 72, the third driven wheel 73, and the first limiting wheel 82 to rotate through the second belt 74. The first limiting wheel 82 is connected to the second limiting wheel 83 through the third belt 85. The rotation of the first limiting wheel 82 drives the third rotating shaft 81, the second limiting wheel 83, and the third limiting wheel 84 to rotate through the third belt 85, so that the first gear 9 and the second gear 10 rotate forward on the gear groove guide rail 1. The traction chain 15 connects the engine 2 and the carriage 12, and then drives the whole device to run quickly on the gear groove guide rail 1 arranged along the field layout, quickly transporting the fruits or agricultural supplies in the field. It has the characteristics of low labor cost and labor intensity and high transportation efficiency, and can meet the transportation needs of large quantities of products in modern large farms and large plantations. The upper roller 133 and the lower roller 134 can cooperate with each other to clamp the gear groove guide rail 1 up and down, so that the upper roller 133 and the lower roller 134 always fit on the gear groove guide rail 1 during the forward movement of the carriage 12, preventing the carriage 12 above it from tipping over during the movement process. This not only improves the smoothness of the transport of fruits or agricultural supplies by the transport machine, but also improves the durability of the transport machine. During the forward movement of the carriage 12, the bristles 143 on the brush roller 142 can always clean the dust or sundries on the surface of the gear groove guide rail 1, preventing sundries from depositing in the gear groove guide rail 1 and affecting the meshing of the first gear 9, the second gear 10 and the gear groove guide rail 1, and avoiding derailment problems caused by foreign objects blocking the gear groove guide rail 1.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not restrictive. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
