[0033] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides an omnidirectional drive ecological plant protection vehicle 100, including a vehicle body 10 and multiple omnidirectional drive mechanisms 20, all of which are located below the vehicle body 10. Each omnidirectional drive mechanism 20 includes a wheel 210 and a lifting rod 220. The wheel 210 is located below and connected to the lifting rod 220, and the top end of the lifting rod 220 is connected to the vehicle body 10. A brushless hub motor 211 is mounted on the wheel 210, and a steering servo 221 is mounted on the lifting rod 220.
[0034] The omnidirectional drive ecological plant protection vehicle 100 provided in this embodiment achieves the vertical movement of the entire vehicle body 10 by setting up a lifting rod 220, and a steering servo 221 is set on the lifting rod 220. The steering servo 221 drives the lifting rod 220 to rotate, so as to achieve omnidirectional movement of the vehicle body 10. At the same time, a brushless hub motor 211 is set on the wheel 210. The brushless hub motor 211 drives the wheel 210 to easily achieve multiple driving modes such as front drive, rear drive or four drive, with excellent mobility and strong maneuverability, realizing the omnidirectional movement of the plant protection vehicle 100, which is suitable for various complex agricultural operation scenarios.
[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The omnidirectional drive mechanism 20 further includes a shock-absorbing fork 230, which is located at the bottom end of the lifting rod 220 and connected to it. The shock-absorbing fork 230 includes two fork arms 231, each containing a shock-absorbing spring. The two fork arms 231 are respectively located on both sides of the wheel 210 and connected to it. The shock-absorbing fork 230 makes the plant protection vehicle 100 move more smoothly, especially in complex agricultural terrain, allowing it to travel steadily.
[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The plant protection vehicle 100 includes four omnidirectional drive mechanisms 20, which are respectively located below the four corners of the vehicle body 10. The placement of four omnidirectional drive mechanisms 20 at the four corners of the vehicle body 10 allows for more stable movement and makes it suitable for more complex agricultural terrain. It should be understood that the plant protection vehicle 100 is not limited to having only four omnidirectional drive mechanisms 20; other numbers and arrangements are also possible and are not limited here.
[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The vehicle body 10 includes a chassis frame 110 and a chassis 120. The chassis frame 110 has multiple interconnected cavities 111. The chassis 120 is located above the cavities 111 and connected to the chassis frame 110. The top end of the lifting rod 220 is connected to the chassis frame 110. The vehicle body 10 with the above-described configuration has a simple structure. Multiple cavities 111 are provided on the chassis frame 110 for housing various components, and these cavities are interconnected, facilitating electrical connections between the components.
[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The chassis frame 110 has multiple cavities 111, including nine interconnected cavities 111 arranged in a 3x3 grid. The nine cavities 111 may be the same or different in size. Four steering servos 221 are located in the four cavities 111 at the four corners. It should be understood that the number of cavities 111 on the chassis frame 110 is not limited to the aforementioned nine cavities 111, nor is it limited to the aforementioned arrangement.
[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The chassis frame 110 is equipped with a motor controller 112, a servo controller 113, and a main controller 114. The motor controller 112 is electrically connected to the brushless hub motor 211 and the main controller 114. The servo controller 113 is electrically connected to the steering servo 221 and the main controller 114. The servo controller 113 is located near the connection between the lifting rod 220 and the chassis frame 110. The main controller 114 is electrically connected to the motor controller 112, which in turn is electrically connected to the brushless hub motor 211, thus controlling the wheels 210. The main controller 114 is also electrically connected to the servo controller 113, which in turn is electrically connected to the steering servo 221, thus controlling the steering of the lifting rod 220. By precisely controlling the motor controller 112 and the servo controller 113, the plant protection vehicle 100 can achieve stable driving and flexible steering, and the moving speed of the plant protection vehicle 100 can be no less than 0.5m / s.
[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The main controller 114 is electrically connected to the CAN transceiver, which is electrically connected to the CAN communication relay 115. The CAN communication relay 115 is electrically connected to the motor controller 112 and the servo controller 113.
[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The vehicle frame 120 is equipped with a lidar 121, an ultrasonic radar, and a camera 122. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is mounted on the chassis frame 110. The main controller 114 is electrically connected to the lidar 121, the ultrasonic radar, the camera 122, and the IMU. The lidar 121 scans the farmland environment to acquire terrain and obstacle information, providing data support for autonomous navigation. The ultrasonic radar is used for close-range obstacle detection and avoidance by the plant protection vehicle 100. The camera 122 collects images of crops, providing image data for pest and disease identification. The IMU monitors the vehicle's attitude and motion in real time, assisting in navigation and motion control.
[0042] Optionally, the LiDAR 121 adopts a multi-line scanning scheme (such as 16 / 32 lines) to provide high-precision three-dimensional point cloud data, with a detection range covering the near field (0.1m) to the far field (200m), constructing a 3D map of the surrounding environment for SLAM navigation and enabling autonomous walking.
[0043] Optionally, the inertial measurement unit integrates a three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer to output real-time six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) pose data (position, attitude angle, and angular velocity) for the attitude positioning of the plant protection vehicle 100. Based on data acquired from the lidar 121 and the inertial measurement unit, the plant protection vehicle 100 autonomously plans its route. Taking into account factors such as farmland boundaries, obstacle distribution, and crop location, it selects the optimal path to ensure that the plant protection vehicle 100 can efficiently cover farmland for pest and disease control operations.

The main controller 114 is electrically connected to both the gimbal 123 and the laser emitter 124. The camera 122 captures images of crops, provides image data for pest and disease identification, and transmits it to the main controller 114. After training, the model identifies pests, determines their location coordinates, and precisely controls the position and orientation of the gimbal 123 and the laser emitter 124 to point at the location of the pests, thereby achieving rapid location and laser killing of the pests.
[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The chassis frame 110 is equipped with multiple gimbals 123 and multiple laser emitters 124 on both its upper and lower sides. The use of multiple gimbals 123 and laser emitters 124 enables more efficient and rapid positioning and pest control.
