[0026] The housing of the intelligent control system 6 is also provided with a rear-end radar sensor 402 for obstacle avoidance of the device.

[0027] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the walking mechanism 5 includes a rear-end walking component 502 arranged under the intelligent control system 6 and a front-end balance wheel component 501 arranged in front of the rear-end walking component 502; the intelligent control system 6 communicates with the walking mechanism 5 and controls the walking mechanism 5 to move forward, backward or turn.

[0028] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping vision cameras 403 are a pair, located on the left and right sides of the clamping frame 103; the clamping frame 103 is also provided with a front radar sensor 404, and the front radar sensor 404, the panoramic camera 401, the rear radar sensor 402 and the clamping vision camera 403 together form a visual recognition system.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the visual recognition system detects objects and avoids obstacles, and transmits the information to the intelligent control system 6. The intelligent control system 6 calculates the corresponding planned route and controls the walking mechanism 5 to respond accordingly.

[0030] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting device 3 further includes a lifting plate 303 , which is driven by a vertical lifting cylinder assembly 301 and moves vertically up and down in the vertical telescopic frame 302 .

[0031] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 2 includes a rear telescopic fixing frame 204 fixed in front of the lifting plate 303, a front telescopic fixing frame 205 fixed behind the clamping frame 103, a movable telescopic frame 201 and a horizontal telescopic cylinder 203 arranged between the front telescopic fixing frame 205 and the rear telescopic fixing frame 204; the horizontal telescopic cylinder 203 drives the movable telescopic frame 201 to move horizontally between the front telescopic fixing frame 205 and the rear telescopic fixing frame 204.

[0033] The principle of this utility model is as follows: When a waste container needs to be collected and transported, the visual recognition system first detects the object and transmits it to the intelligent control system 6. After calculations and other processes, the corresponding traveling mechanism 5 is sent to the front of the object. The telescopic mechanism 2 and the clamping device 1 are then moved to clamp the waste container. The lifting device 3 is then directed to lift the container to a certain height. The lifting height is determined based on actual needs. If the container is clamped and moved for a certain distance, the intelligent control system 6 determines the lifting height, ensuring that it does not touch the ground. If the container is clamped and stacked at the same height, the visual recognition system calculates the required lifting height, along with other complex movements. Once the container reaches the desired position, the intelligent control system 6 automatically controls the clamping device 1 to release the clamping mechanism, allowing the container to be placed in the desired position. Simultaneously, the telescopic mechanism 2 is retracted, lowering the lifting device 3 to its original position. The traveling mechanism 5 then moves to the next waste container to be transported, and the next round of clamping is performed.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
