[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the drive gear 11 is fixed on the vertically arranged mounting shaft 12, and the mounting shaft 12 and the motor bracket 9 form a rotating pair and are driven to rotate by the rotary motor 10.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the driven rod 13 is supported on the sleeve 14 by a bearing, and the sleeve 14 is fixed on the support bracket 8.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model, a tracked paving vehicle for automatically laying colored bricks of different colors, is as follows:

[0037] According to the set brick-laying sequence, the two tracked actuators 6 synchronously drive the frame 7 to move the rotating device 2, the translating device 3, the lifting device 4, and the end effector 5 to the brick-picking position. The camera 29 identifies the position of the designated color brick at the brick-picking position. The controller adjusts the position of the end effector 5 so that it moves to the position of the designated color brick, with the baffle 26 facing one long side of the designated color brick. Then, the controller controls the drive motor to drive the worm gear 27 to rotate. The worm gear 27 drives the two end grippers 28 to rotate downwards towards the baffle 26 through the worm wheel and the rotating shaft. The two end grippers 28 drive the two sliding rods to translate away from the end grippers 28 through the two connecting rods. At the same time, the translation drive drives the sliding plate 17 to drive the lifting device 4 and the end effector 5 to translate towards the designated color brick through the front plate 16, until the baffle 26 is in contact with one long side of the designated color brick. The two end grippers 28 are engaged with the right-angled edges of the designated color brick by the right-angled slots of the baffle 26 and the two end grippers 28. Then, the two tracked actuators 6 synchronously drive the frame 7 to move the rotating device 2, the translation device 3, the lifting device 4, the end actuator 5 and the designated color brick to the paving position. The position of the end actuator 5 is adjusted so that the end actuator 5 moves the designated color brick to the paving position. The controller controls the drive motor to drive the worm 27 to rotate. The worm 27 drives the two end grippers 28 to rotate upward away from the baffle 26 through the worm wheel and the rotating shaft, releasing the grip on the designated color brick. At the same time, the two end grippers 28 drive the two slide bars through the two connecting rods to push the designated color brick to translate towards the end grippers 28, so that the designated color brick is translated to its paving position, thereby realizing the paving of the designated color brick.

[0038] The process of adjusting the position of the end effector 5 is as follows: the controller controls the rotary motor 10 to drive the drive gear 11 to rotate, and the driven gear drives the base 15 to rotate through the driven rod 13, which in turn drives the entire translation device 3, lifting device 4 and end effector 5 to rotate. The translation drive drives the sliding plate 17 to move the front plate 16, and the front plate 16 moves the lifting device 4 and end effector 5. At the same time, the lifting drive drives the main square tube 23 to move the entire end effector 5 up and down.
