[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Example
[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a trackless rubber-wheeled vehicle equipped with a 360-degree camera, consisting of a front vehicle 11 and a rear vehicle 21. Their coordinated operation enables the vehicle's transportation function. The front vehicle 11 serves as the core of the vehicle's control and power system, and its connecting seat 12 is a key component for connecting the front and rear vehicles. The rear vehicle 21 is responsible for loading goods or personnel and is equipped with multiple sets of first hinge plates 22. These first hinge plates 22 are hinged to the connecting seat 12, providing a basis for rotation between the front and rear vehicles. Steering hydraulic cylinders are located on both sides of the connecting seat 12, with their telescopic ends connected to the rear vehicle 21. Through the telescopic movement of the steering hydraulic cylinders, the rear vehicle 21 can be rotated relative to the front vehicle 11, achieving vehicle steering.
[0025] The angle sensor mounted on the connector 12 consists of a sensor body 31 and a rotating plate 32. The rotating plate 32 is mounted on the rear vehicle 21 and connected to the sensor body 31. When the rear vehicle 21 turns, the rotating plate 32 moves accordingly, causing an angle change between it and the sensor body 31. The sensor body 31 can detect the angle change in real time. Its internal detection unit senses the rotation amplitude of the rotating shaft 33 and converts the physical rotation into an electrical signal. The signal is transmitted to the central control screen inside the front vehicle 11 via the receiving unit, where it is displayed in digital or image form, allowing the driver to clearly understand the turning angles of the front and rear vehicles. The sensor body 31 can be a JG1008 model angle sensor. The front camera mounted at the front of the front vehicle 11 can capture the road conditions in front of the vehicle, providing the driver with a forward view. The side cameras 41 mounted on both sides of the front vehicle 11 shoot towards the rear vehicle 21, covering the side areas of the vehicle. The rear camera mounted at the rear of the rear vehicle 21 is responsible for capturing the situation behind the vehicle. The multiple cameras work together to allow the driver to understand the surrounding conditions of the vehicle.
[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 The connecting seat 12 has multiple sets of second hinge plates 13, with each pair forming a hinge groove. The first hinge plate 22 is fitted into the hinge groove, making the connection between the front and rear vehicles more stable. Both the first hinge plate 22 and the second hinge plate 13 have hinge holes 14, and the hinge shaft 15 passes through the hinge holes 14, thus forming a hinge structure. The rear vehicle 21 can rotate flexibly around the hinge shaft 15 as the center point, and can also perform steering actions in narrow spaces, meeting the driving needs of complex road conditions.
[0027] The mounting box 16 on the connector 12 provides mounting space for the sensor body 31. A cover plate 17 is provided on the opening of the mounting box 16, and a sealing plate 18 is provided on one side. The cover plate 17 covers the mounting box 16, and the sealing plate 18 is secured within the cover plate 17; the three together form a mounting cavity. This structure can protect the internal sensor body 31, reducing the impact of external dust, moisture, etc., on the sensor body 31.
[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the sensor body 31 is divided into a detection unit and a receiving unit. The detection unit is located inside the mounting cavity and is responsible for sensing the rotation of the rotating shaft 33. The receiving unit is installed outside the mounting cavity and is used to transmit the information acquired by the detection unit. The rotating shaft 33 can rotate inside the sensor body 31. When the rear vehicle 21 turns and drives the rotating plate 32 to move, the rotating plate 32 will drive the rotating shaft 33 to rotate. The angle sensor detects the amplitude of the rotation of the rotating shaft 33 through the sensor body 31, thereby realizing the detection of the rotation angle of the front and rear vehicles and transmitting the data.
[0029] One set of connecting plates 23, located at the top of the first set of hinged lugs 22, is used to connect the rotating plate 32. A connecting sleeve 24 is provided on the rotating plate 32, and one end of the rotating shaft 33 passes through the connecting sleeve 24. Multiple sets of limiting protrusions 34 on the periphery of the rotating shaft 33 cooperate with the limiting grooves 25 corresponding to those on the connecting sleeve 24. The limiting protrusions 34 are engaged in the limiting grooves 25, making the connection between the rotating shaft 33 and the rotating plate 32 stable. When the rotating plate 32 moves, it can reliably drive the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, ensuring the accuracy of angle detection.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, mounting brackets 42 are provided on both sides of the front vehicle 11, with mounting slots 43 for mounting side cameras 41. The side cameras 41 are fitted into the mounting slots 43 and connected to the mounting brackets 42, with their illumination direction facing the rear vehicle 21, enabling them to capture images of the sides of the vehicle. Rearview mirrors 19 are provided on both sides of the front vehicle 11 to assist the driver in observing the sides and rear of the vehicle. The distance between the outer side of the mounting bracket 42 and the outer side of the front vehicle 11 is less than the distance between the outer side of the rearview mirror 19 and the outer side of the front vehicle 11. This arrangement reduces the risk of the mounting brackets 42 and the side cameras 41 protruding and scraping during vehicle operation.
[0031] The air intake chamber at the top of the mounting component 42 is connected to the air pump installed in the front vehicle 11 via an air pipe. The air outlet groove 44 on the inner side of the mounting component 42 allows the air intake chamber to communicate with the mounting groove 43. The air outlet groove 44 is set at a 45° angle. The water drain groove 45 at the bottom of the mounting component 42 allows air to be blown from the air intake chamber through the air outlet groove 44 to the side camera 41 in the mounting groove 43 when the air pump is working. This blows away dust, moisture and other debris that fall on the camera, keeping the lens clean. The moisture carried by the airflow can be discharged through the water drain groove 45, ensuring that the side camera 41 can continuously provide a clear image.
[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
