[0029] A flashing buzzer 8 is located on the rear left side of the side cover 2, and a USB plug 9 is located on the front left side of the side cover 2.
[0030] On the upper surface of the top cover 1, to the left of the speed potentiometer 4, from left to right, there are reserved holes 10, load mode button 101 and mode selection button 102. On the upper surface of the top cover 1, to the left of the emergency stop button 5, from left to right, there are front and rear mode selection button 103 and emergency pump 104. On the upper surface of the top cover 1, between the left handle 7 and the right handle 6, from left to right, there are platform leveling button 105, platform optional button 106 and main boom extension button 107.
[0031] The top of the right handle 6 is provided with a left button 601 and a right button 602;
[0032] Indicator panel 3 has various indicator lights on it;
[0033] Speed potentiometer 4 is a rotary switch with rabbit and turtle icons on it. The rabbit represents high speed and the turtle represents low speed. The speed can be adjusted arbitrarily between the turtle and the rabbit. Turning the knob is used to adjust the speed of the boom's movement.
[0034] Emergency stop button 5: When pressed, the entire control box is powered off. Use this button to cut off power in case of an accident.
[0035] Right handle 6: Push forward: Move forward; Push backward: Move backward; Restricts pushing left and right; The handle has a left button 601 and a right button 602. Pressing the left button controls the vehicle's wheels to turn left. Keep pressing the button to turn left until the maximum position is reached; Pressing the right button does the same.

[0037] Flashing buzzer 8: Used to indicate an alarm. When an alarm is triggered, an alarm sound is emitted, and the light flashes simultaneously.
[0038] USB plug 9 is used to output 5V power, mainly for charging mobile phones;
[0039] Load mode button 101: A two-position toggle switch that can be flipped up or down. Flipping up activates heavy load, and flipping down activates light load, used to control the vehicle's light and heavy load modes.
[0040] Mode selection button 102: Platform mode, climbing mode, working mode. By toggling the three-position self-locking switch, the vehicle can work in different working modes. The maximum speed of the vehicle is different in different working modes.
[0041] Forward / backward mode selection button 103: Because the vehicle has a turntable that can rotate 270 degrees, when the vehicle rotates from 0° to 180°, the front and rear positions of the vehicle change. The forward / backward mode selection button is needed to switch between forward and reverse.
[0042] Emergency pump 104: When vehicle parts malfunction and cannot function properly, the emergency pump button can be activated to enable the vehicle to operate safely at low speed.
[0043] Platform leveling button 105. Operating this button will level the platform. The operator can subjectively judge whether the platform has been leveled. If it has been leveled, stop operating the button; otherwise, operate until the desired state is reached and then stop.
[0044] Platform optional button 106: push it to the left, the platform rotates to the left; push it to the right, the platform rotates to the right.
[0045] The main arm extension / retraction button 107 extends the main arm when pushed to the left, and retracts it when pushed to the right.
[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a base plate 11 is provided below the upper control box body;
[0047] The lower surface of the base plate 11 is provided with anti-slip texture;
[0048] A fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 11. A screw 13 is rotatably connected to the left side of the front surface of the fixing block 12 via a rotating shaft. A screw sleeve 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side wall of the screw 13. A moving block 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the screw sleeve 14.
[0049] A through-type inclined groove 17 is provided on the left side of the movable block 16. A round rod 18 is slidably connected inside the inclined groove 17. Both ends of the round rod 18 are fixedly connected to connecting pieces 19. The top of the connecting piece 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper control box body.
[0050] A bearing seat 20 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear of the upper surface of the base plate 11. A rotating block 21 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the two bearing seats 20 through a rotating shaft. The top of the rotating block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper control box body.
[0051] A guide rod 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front surface of the fixing block 12. The front end of the guide rod 22 passes through the threaded sleeve 14 and is slidably connected to the threaded sleeve 14.
[0052] A knob 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw 13;
[0053] The base plate 11 serves as the foundation support for the entire structure. The anti-slip texture on its lower surface enhances the friction with the mounting surface, ensuring that the base plate 11 is placed stably during the adjustment process and providing a solid reference for subsequent operations.
[0054] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the upper control box body, the operator can rotate the knob 15 at the front end of the screw 13. Since the screw 13 is rotatably connected to the left side of the front surface of the fixed block 12 through the rotating shaft, the rotation of the knob 15 will drive the screw 13 to rotate synchronously.
[0055] When the screw 13 rotates, the threaded sleeve 14 connected to it will move back and forth under the restriction of the guide rod 22. Here, the guide rod 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front surface of the fixed block 12, and its front end passes through the threaded sleeve 14 and is slidably connected to the threaded sleeve 14, which effectively prevents the threaded sleeve 14 from rotating with the screw 13 and ensures that the threaded sleeve 14 can only move in a straight line.
[0056] The forward and backward movement of the screw sleeve 14 will drive the moving block 16 fixedly connected to it to move synchronously. The left side of the moving block 16 has a through-type inclined groove 17. The round rod 18 slidably connected inside the inclined groove 17 has connecting pieces 19 fixedly connected at both ends. The top of the connecting piece 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper control box body. When the moving block 16 moves forward and backward, the inclined groove 17 will generate a pushing or pulling force on the round rod 18, causing the round rod 18 to slide in the inclined groove 17, and then drive the upper control box body to rotate around the rotation fulcrum through the connecting piece 19.
[0057] The rotation fulcrum of the upper control box body consists of a shaft seat 20 symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear of the upper surface of the base plate 11 and a rotating block 21 rotatably connected to it via a rotating shaft. The top of the rotating block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper control box body. Under the action of the round rod 18 and the connecting piece 19, the upper control box body adjusts its angle around the connecting shaft between the rotating block 21 and the shaft seat 20 until it reaches an angle that conforms to the operator's operating habits.
[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
