[0032] The working principle of this utility model is:
[0033] When the ladder frame needs to be moved, the clutch lever 15 is rotated. The clutch lever 15, through the interlocking coupling lever and coupling groove, drives the clutch ring 12 and clutch gear 13 to slide on the output shaft of the gearbox 5, causing the clutch gear 13 to mesh with the travel gear 14. At this point, the positioning shaft 11 is inserted into a positioning hole on the rotating drum 7, locking the slewing mechanism and preventing the wheel frame 1 from rotating relative to the fixed plate 3. The handle 6 is then rotated, which drives the output shaft of the gearbox 5 to rotate. The output shaft of the gearbox 5, through the meshing clutch gear 13 and travel gear 14, drives the travel wheel 2 to rotate, thereby achieving slow and smooth movement of the ladder frame along a fixed direction.
[0034] To steer, the clutch lever 15 is first rotated. Through its interlocking coupling rod and coupling slot, the clutch ring 12 and clutch gear 13 slide on the output shaft of the transmission 5, disengaging the clutch gear 13 from the travel gear 14. The positioning shaft 11 is then rotated to disengage it from the positioning hole. The wheel frame 1 can then be rotated relative to the fixed plate 3 via the slewing mechanism, thereby changing the angle of the travel wheels 2 and, in turn, enabling the ladder frame to steer. When the angle sensor detects that the wheel frame 1 has rotated past the specified angle, the positioning shaft 11 is rotated to engage with another positioning hole, re-securing the wheel frame 1 relative to the fixed plate 3 and locking it at the specified angle. The clutch lever 15 is then rotated again, re-engaging the clutch gear 13 with the travel gear 14. The handle 6 is then turned to allow the ladder frame to slowly and smoothly move at the adjusted angle.
