[0046] By setting the switching assembly 400 to switch the road wheel group 200 and the track wheel group 300, the chassis can smoothly and reliably switch between highways and railways without the need to change vehicles or perform complex preparations. Whether it is a flat highway or a railway with specific tracks, the device can adapt by quickly switching different wheel groups, ensuring the stability and reliability of the vehicle in various terrain conditions. By efficiently utilizing both transportation resources, the vehicle can optimize the travel path, reduce time and transportation costs, and improve overall transportation efficiency.

[0047] The track wheel group 300 includes a driving wheel group 310 and a driven wheel group 320, and the switching assembly 400 includes a first steering device 410.

[0048] The first steering device 410 is used to drive the driving wheel group 310 to cut into the external track.

[0049] The driving wheel group 310 is connected to the support 100 through the first steering device 410.

[0050] The driven wheel group 320 is connected to the support 100.

[0051] The driving wheel group 310 is connected to the support 100 through the first steering device 410, which can adjust the angle and position of cutting into the track as needed, enabling quick and smooth switching from a highway to a track.
