Referring to fig. 5 and 7, a driving sprocket 21 is inserted through the driving shaft 2, a driven sprocket 326 is further inserted through the hinge shaft 323, and the driven sprocket 326 is drivingly connected to the driving sprocket 21 through a driving chain. The angle folding plate 322 and the wheel rod 31 are both of a double-plate structure, the two angle folding plates 322 are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the crawler wheel 325, and the two wheel rods 31 are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the angle folding wheel assembly 32. The position of the folded angle plate 322 corresponding to the middle point of the bottom edge is provided with a tensioning shaft 327 parallel to the wheel shaft 324, and a tensioning wheel 328 is arranged on the tensioning shaft 327 in a penetrating way. The distance between the tensioning shaft 327 and the top corner of the angle folding plate 322 is smaller than the height of the angle folding plate 322, and a notch is formed in the bottom edge of the angle folding plate 322.

The angle folding plate is designed into an isosceles triangle with a gap at the bottom edge (namely two bottom angles exceed the bottom edge), so that when the angle folding plate is in an unfolded state, the front section of track and the rear section of track are in a hook-shaped appearance, and the climbing stability (push-pull force over obstacles) is improved.

As shown in fig. 8, an active deformation assembly 33 is disposed between the wheel rod 31 and the bevel wheel assembly 32, the active deformation assembly 33 is used for driving the bevel wheel assembly 32 to rotate around the hinge point, and the rotation directions of the bevel wheel assemblies 32 at the two ends of the wheel rod 31 are opposite.
