[0029] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a locomotive body 100, a driver's cab 110 fixed to the top of the locomotive body 100, a lighting lamp 120 installed on the top of the driver's cab 110, a control mechanism installed inside the driver's cab 110, a warning mechanism installed on one side of the driver's cab 110, multiple casters 130 installed on the outer side of the locomotive body 100, a track 140 installed on the outer side of the casters 130, a detection mechanism installed on the side wall of the locomotive body 100, the detection mechanism including a mounting side plate 410, fastening bolts 420, and a laser radar 430, and a cleaning mechanism installed on the side wall of the mounting side plate 410. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the side wall of the locomotive body 100 near the mounting side plate 410, and a cleaning mechanism is provided at the bottom of the adjustment mechanism. A detection mechanism is provided, which uses a laser radar 430 to detect obstacles in the direction of travel. The detection signal is transmitted to a warning mechanism, which provides audible and visual prompts to the driver to slow down, so as to achieve the effect of timely collision prevention and safe driving. The detection mechanism is installed on the front and rear sides of the locomotive body 100, which improves the safety of the transport locomotive during use. When reversing, the laser radar 430 detects obstacles behind the locomotive, and the driver can know whether there are obstacles behind the vehicle without turning around, making the parking and reversing of the locomotive easy and safe.

[0030] Specifically, the control mechanism includes a control lever 210, which is located inside the cab 110. A mounting plate 220 is bolted to the outside of the cab 110, and a control panel 230 is fixed to the top of the mounting plate 220. With the control mechanism, the driver controls the movement of the transport vehicle through the control lever 210 and controls the vehicle's operating data through the control panel 230.

[0031] Specifically, the warning mechanism includes a mounting base 310, which is fixed to one side of the cab 110 by bolts. An alarm bell 320 is fixed to one side of the mounting base 310, and a warning light 330 is fixed to the side of the mounting base 310 near the alarm bell 320. By providing the warning mechanism, when the detection mechanism detects an obstacle ahead, the alarm bell 320 sounds an alarm, and the warning light 330 flashes a warning light, providing the driver with comprehensive audio-visual alerts.

[0032] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism includes an air pump 510, which is fixed to one side of the mounting side plate 410 by bolts. An air supply pipe 520 is fixed to one side of the air pump 510, and an air jet slot 530 is fixed to one end of the air supply pipe 520. A sealing cover 540 is fixed to the side of the mounting side plate 410 near the air pump 510, and a pair of filter screens 550 are fixed to the outside of the sealing cover 540. By setting up the cleaning mechanism, the lidar 430 is quickly cleaned, and debris and dust on the surface of the lidar 430 are removed, ensuring the stability of the lidar 430 in harsh environments.

[0033] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism includes a mounting slide 610, which is bolted to the outside of the locomotive body 100. A drive motor 620 is bolted to one side of the mounting slide 610. A screw 621 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 620. A sliding seat 630 is provided on the outside of the screw 621. A connecting seat 640 is fixed to one side of the sliding seat 630. An adjusting bolt 650 is threaded onto the inner wall of the connecting seat 640. By providing an adjustment mechanism, the drive motor 620 drives the screw 621 to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding seat 630, thereby moving the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism can be adjusted according to the position of the track 140. Tightening the adjusting bolt 650 can move the cleaning mechanism up and down, allowing the bottom of the cleaning mechanism to rest against the track 140, ensuring the flexibility of the cleaning mechanism during use.

[0034] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting groove 710, which is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting seat 640. A connecting column 720 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove 710, and a cleaning block 730 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting column 720. A support wheel 740 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning block 730. By setting up the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning block 730 can be adjusted in all directions by the adjustment mechanism to move the cleaning block 730 to the track 140. The support wheel 740 provides rolling support for the cleaning block 730. When the locomotive moves, the cleaning block 730 cleans the debris on the track 140 in the direction of locomotive movement, preventing the moving wheel 130 from running over the debris and causing the locomotive to derail, thus improving the stability of locomotive operation.

[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the locomotive is moved along the track 140 by the moving wheels 130. The moving direction is illuminated by the lighting 120. During this process, the lidar 430 detects obstacles in the direction of travel, and the detection signal is transmitted to the warning mechanism. An alarm bell 320 sounds, and the warning light 330 flashes, providing the driver with comprehensive audio-visual alerts to slow down, thus achieving timely collision avoidance and safe driving. The detection mechanism is installed on both the front and rear sides of the locomotive body 100. During reversing, the lidar 430 detects obstacles behind the locomotive, allowing the driver to know whether there are obstacles behind the vehicle without turning around, making parking and reversing easy and safe. When cleaning the lidar 430 is required, the air pump 510 is activated. High-pressure gas is released through the air supply pipe 520 and blown onto the lidar 430 through numerous small holes on the jet vent 530, enabling rapid cleaning of the lidar 430 and removal of debris and dust from its surface. The drive motor 620 drives the screw 621 to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding seat 630, thereby moving the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism can be adjusted according to the position of the track 140. Tightening the adjusting bolt 650 moves the cleaning mechanism up and down, allowing the bottom of the cleaning mechanism to rest against the track 140, and the cleaning block 730 to be moved to the track 140 position. The support wheel 740 provides rolling support for the cleaning block 730. When the locomotive moves, the cleaning block 730 cleans debris on the track 140 in the direction of locomotive movement, preventing the moving wheel 130 from running over debris and causing the locomotive to derail.

Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
