Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a walking mechanism, in particular to a variable-diameter flexible wheel for a mechanical vehicle. Background technique

[0002] Wheeled vehicles have the characteristics of stability, high speed, and maneuverability on relatively flat natural ground. In recent years, a variety of chassis and suspension systems that can adapt to complex terrains have appeared, which has made wheeled mobile systems the mainstream form of mobile systems for deep space roving probes. However, under soft soil and complex terrain conditions, the wheels sink into the soft soil to form ruts, which require continuous upward climbing during walking, and are prone to slipping and sinking deeper and deeper.

[0003] Countries such as the United States and the former Soviet Union have been studying the passability of vehicles on soft ground since the 1940s. However, their research work is mainly limited to changing some parameters of the original vehicle...

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, the present invention is a flexible wheel with variable diameter, which is composed of a motor 4, a flange 3, a foot plate 5, a hub 1 and a spring plate 2, the hub 1 is a drum structure, and the hub 1 A riveting hole connected to one end of the spring plate 2 through a rivet is provided on the top. The motor 4 is installed on the flange 3, the flange 3 is installed in the wheel hub 1, one end of the spring plate 2 is riveted on the outer barrel of the wheel hub 1, and the other end of the spring plate 2 is riveted with the foot plate 5. The two sides of the spring plate 2 are respectively provided with a b-shaped hook 21, the b-shaped hook 21 is used to limit the limit position of the foot plate 5, and the two ends of the spring plate 2 are provided with riveting holes 22; A riveting hole 55 is provided, and a left C-sh...
