[0044] The front panel 31 and the rear panel 32 are made of high-strength, lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, to ensure sufficient strength and rigidity while reducing weight.
[0045] The guide shaft 33 connects the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32. The guide shaft 33 allows the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 to rotate relative to each other within a certain range, enabling the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 to rotate and giving the bearing unit 3 steering capability.
[0046] The guide shaft 33 is made of precision-machined cylindrical stainless steel to ensure smooth and accurate rotation.

The guide wheel 311 can roll inside the limiting groove 13 of the track body 11 to guide the turning movement of the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32.
[0055] The guide rod 313, support shaft 312 and guide wheel 311 are made of high-strength, wear-resistant stainless steel to ensure stability and durability during steering.
[0056] It also includes a clamping unit 4, which includes a gear 46. The gear 46 is fixedly installed on the outside of the guide shaft 33. An angle sensor 44 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the front plate 31. The angle sensor 44 is also located on one side of the gear 46. Locking units are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the gear 46. The two locking units are respectively located at the bottom of the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32.

The side of the first friction plate 42 and the second friction plate 421 away from the angle sensor 44 is rotatably connected to the output end of the bidirectional translation drive 45.
[0058] The specific implementation is as follows: When the clamping unit 4 is working normally, it locks the relative positions of the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 to prevent them from rotating accidentally when they do not need to turn.

[0060] The locking unit includes a first limiting plate 41, a first friction plate 42, a first fixed shaft 43, a second limiting plate 411, a second friction plate 421, and a second fixed shaft 431. When the bidirectional translation drive 45 is working, it pushes the first friction plate 42 and the second friction plate 421 to contact the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 411, generating frictional force, thereby locking the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32. The angle of the gear 46 is adjusted by the angle sensor 44 to retract, so that the first friction plate 42 and the second friction plate 421 are separated from the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 411, allowing the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 to rotate relative to each other, thereby turning.
