[0030] Working principle: During the transportation experiment, in order to realize the transportation process on the route containing stairs, the first mobile vehicle 1 and the second mobile vehicle 2 are spliced ​​together to form a combined vehicle body;

[0031] In the initial state of transportation, the second mobile vehicle 2 is perpendicular to the first mobile vehicle 1. During the movement, the third bidirectional motor 208 at the bottom is used as a power drive structure to realize the forward movement of the first mobile vehicle 1. During the forward movement, ultrasonic waves are emitted by the first ultrasonic generator 16 and the second ultrasonic generator 18 respectively to detect the route ahead.

[0032] When the ultrasonic waves emitted by the first ultrasonic generator 16 and the second ultrasonic generator 18 are not reflected, it indicates that there is a passable path ahead;

[0033] When the ultrasonic waves emitted by the first ultrasonic generator 16 and the second ultrasonic generator 18 are both reflected, it means that there is a high obstacle in the path ahead and it is impossible to climb over it, and the route needs to be adjusted;

[0034] When the ultrasonic wave emitted by the second ultrasonic generator 18 is reflected, and the ultrasonic wave emitted by the first ultrasonic generator 16 is not reflected, it means that the vehicle can climb through. When climbing, the second bidirectional motor 14 is operated to drive the second output motor shaft 13 to rotate, so that the second mobile vehicle 2 can be brought close to the obstacle. Under the driving cooperation of the third bidirectional motor 208 at the bottom of the second mobile vehicle 2, the climbing movement is realized, driving the first mobile vehicle 1 to rise.

[0035] During the rising process, the first bidirectional motor 6 operates to drive the first swing frame 8 to swing, and with the cooperation of the propulsion wheel 9, the tail of the first mobile vehicle 1 is lifted. The driving motor 10 operates to cooperate to realize the propulsion of the combined body of the first mobile vehicle 1 and the second mobile vehicle 2, so as to achieve overall propulsion, ensure the stability of the transportation process, and better adapt to various transportation routes.
