Wherein, buffer gear is used for the shock attenuation, and when wheel 7 produced vibrations, buffer gear can cushion in order to reduce the impact force of transmitting on automobile body 8. The pull rod mechanism has certain rigidity and strength, so that the buffer mechanism can be pushed to rotate outwards through the pull rod mechanism.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the buffer mechanism is located below the vehicle body 8, and the suspension mechanism located on the right side of the front side of the star probe vehicle is taken as an example for explanation, when the wheel 7 needs to be folded, one end of the trailing arm 1 is connected with the wheel 7, the other end of the trailing arm is connected with the buffer mechanism, one end of the pull rod mechanism is connected with the buffer mechanism, and the other end of the pull rod mechanism is connected with the vehicle body 8, at this time, the pull rod mechanism drives the buffer mechanism to rotate to the left, so that the trailing arm 1 is turned to the left, that is, turned to the lower side of the vehicle body 8, and the wheel 7 connected to the trailing. When the wheels 7 need to be unfolded, the pull rod mechanism pushes the buffer mechanism to enable the buffer mechanism to rotate rightwards, and then the trailing arm 1 is enabled to turn rightwards, so that the wheels 7 are driven to be unfolded.
In the structure, the pull rod mechanism can be a self-locking mechanism, when the wheels 7 are unfolded and completed, the pull rod mechanism is subjected to self-locking, so that the buffer mechanism can be limited to rotate around the vehicle body 8, the trailing arm 1 is further limited to rotate around the vehicle body 8, the wheels 7 are further limited to be folded and unfolded, and the stability of the running process of the celestial body detection vehicle is guaranteed. The above-mentioned draw bar mechanism is a preferred embodiment, and it is also possible to provide a locking mechanism at a corresponding position, and when the wheel 7 is completely unfolded, the draw bar mechanism is locked, so that the draw bar mechanism is maintained in this state.
One end of the trailing arm 1 is connected with the buffer mechanism, the other end of the trailing arm 1 is connected with the wheel 7, one end of the pull rod mechanism is connected with the buffer mechanism, and the other end of the pull rod mechanism is connected with the vehicle body 8, so that the buffer mechanism can be driven by the pull rod mechanism to rotate around the vehicle body 8, the trailing arm 1 can rotate around the vehicle body 8, and the folding of the wheel 7 is realized; in addition, the vehicle body 8 is connected with the trailing arm 1 through the buffer mechanism, and the buffer mechanism is used for damping, so when the wheels 7 vibrate, the buffer mechanism can reduce the vibration transmitted to the vehicle body 8, and the comfort of riding the planet detection vehicle is improved.
Preferably, the damping mechanism comprises a torsion bar spring 2 and a rotary damper 3, the torsion bar spring 2 is suitable for being connected with the trailing arm 1, and the rotary damper 3 is suitable for being connected with the pull rod mechanism.

Through fixed connection with fixed part 21 and rotary damper 3 of torsion bar spring 2 for rotary damper 3 can regard as the stable support of torsion bar spring 2, and when trailing arm 1 swung and leads to torsion bar 22 of torsion bar spring 2 to twist reverse, fixed part 21 can not follow the rotation, and then reduces the vibrations of transmitting to rotary damper 3 through torsion bar spring 2, and then reduces the vibrations that transmit to automobile body 8.
In this embodiment, the stationary portion 21 and the torsion bar 22 are both cylindrical, and the rotary damper 3 is an irregular cylinder like a cylinder.
The specific process is as follows, when the wheel 7 vibrates, the wheel 7 jumps upwards or downwards, the wheel 7 drives the trailing arm 1 to swing upwards or downwards, that is, the trailing arm 1 rotates a certain angle around the axis of the torsion bar 22, so that the torsion bar 22 generates torsional deformation, and the torsion bar 22 can absorb vibration energy through torsional elasticity to reduce the impact on the vehicle body 8 because the torsional deformation of the torsion bar 22 is elastic deformation. Meanwhile, when the wheel 7 is disengaged from an obstacle, the stored elastic deformation energy of the torsion bar 22 due to torsional deformation is released, so that the trailing arm 1 and the wheel 7 are rapidly returned. Thereby, the stability of the running of the wheel 7 is ensured.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the rotary damper 3 is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole 31 which are communicated with each other, the torsion bar spring 2 is adapted to be inserted into the first connecting hole, and one end of the trailing arm 1 away from the wheel 7 is adapted to be connected with the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2 into the second connecting hole 31.
The first connection hole and the second connection hole 31 are disposed on different sides of the rotary damper 3, and both are communicated with the outside, and the first connection hole and the second connection hole 31 are communicated with the inside of the rotary damper 3, so that when the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2 is inserted into the first connection hole 3, the torsion bar 22 is also located in the second connection hole 3.
Specifically, the first connection hole is a circular hole having the same diameter as the cross section of the torsion bar 22, the first connection hole is respectively communicated with the outside and the second connection hole 31, when the torsion bar 22 is inserted into the first connection hole, a part of the structure of the torsion bar 22 is located in the second connection hole 31, so that the trailing arm 1 and the torsion bar 22 are connected in the second connection hole 31, taking the related structure shown in fig. 2 as an example, the second connection hole 31 is disposed on the front side of the rotary damper 3, the first connection hole is disposed on the right side of the rotary damper 3, the first connection hole and the second connection hole 31 are communicated inside the rotary damper 3, both the first connection hole and the second connection hole 31 are blind holes, and the width of the second connection hole 31 is greater than the thickness of the end portion of the trailing arm 1 far from the wheel 7, so that the trailing arm 1 is connected. Wherein, the end part of the trailing arm 1 far away from the wheel 7 is provided with a through hole, the diameter of the through hole is the same as the cross section diameter of the torsion bar 22, so that the torsion bar 22 can be inserted into the through hole, and the trailing arm 1 and the torsion bar 22 can be connected in a second through hole.
Preferably, the damping mechanism further comprises a locking mechanism, the trailing arm 1 is adapted to be rotatably connected with the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2, and the locking mechanism is used for limiting the relative rotation of the trailing arm 1 and the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2.
Specifically, the trailing arm 1 is rotatably connected with the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2, that is, the trailing arm 1 can rotate relative to the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2, and the position of the wheel 7 can be adjusted through the swinging of the trailing arm 1, so that the height of the vehicle body 8 and the wheel track of the front wheel 7 and the rear wheel 7 can be adjusted. The locking mechanism is used for limiting the relative rotation of the torsion bars 22 of the torsion bar spring 2 and the trailing arm 1, after the wheel 7 rotates to a proper position, the trailing arm 1 is locked on the torsion bars 22 through the locking mechanism, so that the wheel 7 can stably support the vehicle body 8, and meanwhile, when the trailing arm 1 swings, the torsion bars 22 are twisted and deformed, and the damping effect of the torsion bar spring 2 is exerted.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, it is preferable that the buffer mechanism is disposed at an outer side position of the vehicle body 8 adjacent to a middle portion of the vehicle body 8, and the buffer mechanism is disposed below the vehicle body 8 so that the wheels 7 can be folded below the vehicle body 8, and the track of the left and right wheels 7 is made larger, and the trailing arm 1 is disposed obliquely so that an end of the trailing arm 1 connected to the wheels 7 is away from the middle portion of the vehicle body 8 so that the track of the front and rear wheels 7 is made larger.
Taking the star probe vehicle shown in fig. 3 as an example, the adjustment process of the wheel 7 is as follows, at the front side position of the star probe vehicle, when the trailing arm 1 swings forward around the axis of the torsion bar 22, the wheel 7 moves forward and upward, and when the trailing arm 1 swings backward around the axis of the torsion bar 22, the wheel 7 moves backward and downward. At the rear side position of the star probe vehicle, when the trailing arm 1 swings backwards around the axis of the torsion bar 22, the wheel 7 moves backwards and upwards, and when the trailing arm 1 swings forwards around the axis of the torsion bar 22, the wheel 7 moves forwards and downwards. Therefore, when the trailing arm 1 swings away from the middle of the vehicle body 8, the height of the vehicle body 8 decreases, and the track of the front and rear wheels 7 of the star probe vehicle increases. When the trailing arm 1 swings towards the direction of the middle part of the vehicle body 8, the height of the vehicle body 8 can be increased, and the wheel track of the front and rear wheels 7 of the planet detection vehicle can be reduced.
The angle at which the trailing arm 1 can pivot is dependent on the circumferential length of the second connecting bore 31.
Alternatively, the trailing arm 1 may also be fixedly connected directly to the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2, in which case, no additional locking mechanism is needed, and the trailing arm 1 is connected more firmly to the torsion bar 22 of the torsion bar spring 2, which has the disadvantage that it is difficult to adjust the height of the vehicle body 8 and the track of the front and rear wheels 7.

The electric pushing cylinder is arranged on the vehicle body 8 and used for pushing the pull rod to slide on the vehicle body 8, and the pull rod is locked on the vehicle body 8 after the pull rod moves to a target position, so that the pull rod is prevented from sliding relative to the vehicle body 8.

Therefore, the pull rod can slide in the groove through the connecting shaft to realize the relative sliding of the pull rod and the vehicle body 8.
