[0037] Compared with the prior art, the guide device, the turning piece 300 and the driving device 400 form a cooperative system. When the vehicle body is about to enter a curve, the turning piece 300 flexibly adjusts the guide device according to the change of the track, and at the same time, the turning piece 300 transmits the turning force to the driving device 400, and the driving device 400 can timely adjust the movement direction according to the received turning force, so that the vehicle body can smoothly and accurately travel along the curve.

The bolt can provide sufficient fastening force, so as to firmly fix the steering wheel assembly 100 on the end of the connecting rod 150. The fixing part 160 cooperates with the bolt to avoid the steering wheel assembly 100 from falling off the connecting rod 150 due to force, and ensures the firmness of the connection between the steering wheel assembly 100 and the connecting rod 150.

The two second horizontal wheels 220 are oppositely arranged on the two sides of the second support 210, and the two second horizontal wheels 220 are horizontally contacted with the outer side of the track pipe 600.

[0044] It should be noted that the arc structure of the second support 210 can well match the arc profile of the track pipe 600, so that the walking device 200 can be closely surrounded on the outer sidewall of the track pipe 600, and the contact area and the fitting degree of the walking device 200 and the track pipe 600 are increased. The rotation of the walking wheel 230 provides a certain forward driving force for the vehicle body through the contact and rolling with the track pipe 600. Through the friction between the walking wheel 230 and the track pipe 600, the walking wheel 230 assists the friction wheel 440 of the auxiliary driving device 400 to push the vehicle body to run on the track.
