AI Technical Summary
Existing self-propelled vehicles with U-shaped load-carrying units face challenges such as misalignment between chassis units and load-carrying units, complexity in design and maintenance, and interference in load measurements between the two chassis units, which affects control efficiency and stability.
The vehicle is designed with two individual fork bodies, each comprising a separate chassis part and loading body, allowing for independent movement and easier maintenance. A coupling unit connects the fork bodies via a thru axle, enabling swiveling within a limited range to maintain parallelism and reduce load interference.
This design enhances the vehicle's ability to follow irregular surfaces, maintains parallel alignment of chassis and loading bodies, reduces maintenance complexity, and improves load measurement accuracy, leading to more efficient control and operation.
