[0030] A typical environmental monitoring vehicle consists of a vehicle body and various sensors mounted on it for monitoring environmental parameters. The vehicle body includes a chassis and wheels mounted on the chassis. By controlling the movement of the wheels, the vehicle moves to the monitoring point, where the sensors monitor the corresponding environmental parameters. In some special terrains, such as deserts or soft surfaces, the wheels can easily sink into the ground during travel; on rough surfaces, the vehicle is prone to slipping, making it difficult to reach the monitoring location and complete the monitoring task.

[0031] This utility model proposes an environmental monitoring vehicle.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the environmental monitoring vehicle includes a chassis 1, tracks 2, an environmental monitoring device 3, and a control device 4.

The control device 4 is used to process and transmit the data monitored by the environmental monitoring device 3.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model, by setting a control device 4 to control the operation of the drive device, enables the track 2 to move, thereby moving the environmental monitoring vehicle to a preset position. During the movement of the environmental monitoring vehicle, the track 2 increases the contact area with the ground, reduces the pressure between the ground and the environmental monitoring vehicle, and reduces the likelihood of the track 2 sinking into the ground. The control device 4 processes and transmits the data monitored by the environmental monitoring device 3, enabling real-time observation of the values ​​monitored by the environmental monitoring device. Overall, the track 2 reduces the likelihood of the environmental monitoring vehicle sinking into the ground, allowing the environmental monitoring vehicle to move to the test location, thus improving the problem of difficulty in completing monitoring tasks.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control device 4 includes a power supply 41, a control computer 42, and a display panel 43.
