This protects the steering and telescopic mechanism 5 from damage caused by frequent limit changes in its own telescopic travel, extending its service life and enhancing its reliability. Overall, the structural design is rational, and the use of dual steering and telescopic mechanisms to drive the slewing bearing significantly reduces steering operating force, improves the reliability of the steering structure, and simultaneously enables large steering angles.
