The controller controls the lifting motor to reversely rotate, the lifting motor drives the scissor-fork supporting legs to shrink and fold, then controls the translation motor to reversely rotate, and the translation motor enables the lower cover plate to be retracted into the upper cover plate through the translation screw rod;
(1-5) sequentially repeating the steps (1-2) - (1-4) to finish ascending stairs;
Descending stairs mode:
(2-1) setting the lifting height of the scissor-fork type supporting feet according to the size of the stairs before going down the stairs;
(2-2) the controller controls the horizontal motor to rotate reversely, the horizontal motor drives the lower cover plate to extend out of the upper cover plate through the horizontal screw rod, then controls the lifting motor to rotate positively to enable the scissor type supporting feet to be unfolded, and the base and the pulley at the lower end of the scissor type supporting feet are contacted with the next step surface;
(2-3) the controller controls the driving motor to rotate reversely, and the driving motor drives the Mecanum wheel to rotate so as to drive the upper cover plate to move, so that the lower cover plate returns to the upper cover plate again;
(2-4) controlling the lifting motor to reversely rotate so as to enable the scissor-fork supporting feet to shrink and fold again;
(2-5) sequentially repeating the steps (2-2) - (2-4) to finish going downstairs;
the horizontal walking mode is that the scissor type support is in a contracted and folded state,
When the whole walker advances linearly, the controller controls each driving motor to rotate forward at the same speed;
When the whole walker is in linear backward, the controller controls each driving motor to rotate reversely at the same speed;
When the whole walker needs to turn, the controller controls each driving motor to rotate at different speeds, so that each driving motor drives each corresponding Mecanum wheel to rotate at different speeds, and the whole walker can turn at 0-360 degrees.
6. The stair climbing method according to claim 5, wherein the second ball at the lower end of the lowermost electric putter and/or the second ball at the lower end of the link are held in contact with the step surface in the ascending stair mode and the descending stair mode.
