Abstract

The invention discloses an underactuated crawler wheel mechanism. The adaptability of the current tracked wheel mechanism to unstructured terrain with complex and variable terrain and large slope changes needs to be strengthened. The invention comprises a driving assembly, a driving wheel assembly, a driven wheel assembly, a swing arm assembly and a track; the driving assembly drives the driving wheel assembly; the driving wheel assembly and the driven wheel assembly are connected through the track to drive the driven wheel assembly to rotate; The components are connected through the swing arm assembly, which drives the driven wheel assembly to swing; the driving wheel assembly includes the first reducer, the second reducer, the main shaft, the driving wheel, the second external gear, the first external gear, the planetary arm, the second planet carrier, hollow shaft, second gear, output shaft, first planet carrier, first gear and main shaft bevel gear. The invention can realize the passive switching driving mode according to the actual terrain conditions, and effectively enhance the adaptability of the mobile robot to the unstructured terrain.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and relates to an obstacle-surmounting crawler-type wheel mechanism, in particular to an underactuated crawler-type wheel mechanism. Background technique [0002] The walking mechanisms of modern mobile robots mainly include wheel type, foot type and crawler type. However, the wheel type walking mechanism is greatly affected by the diameter of the wheel and can only travel on flat terrain. The foot type walking mechanism has a strong ability to adapt to terrain, but is stable. The performance is poor, the driving speed is relatively slow and the control is relatively complicated. The crawler-type walking mechanism has strong terrain adaptability, low pressure on the ground, good stability, and relatively fast speed. It has unique advantages in energy detection and planetary exploration. Although the current tracked wheel mechanism has a certain adaptability to terrain, its adaptability to complex...
