[0034] An active roll mechanism is disposed on the frame connecting rod 100 . The active roll mechanism is connected to the active steering mechanism. The active roll mechanism is used to drive the two groups of active steering mechanisms to roll, so as to achieve the purpose of rolling the wheel 400 .
[0035] In this embodiment, an active steering mechanism is provided to drive the wheel 400 to rotate, so that the vehicle can actively control the steering of the wheel 400, and an active roll mechanism is provided to drive the active steering mechanism to perform roll operation. The wheel 400 can be controlled to roll without affecting the steering of the wheel 400. When the vehicle turns, the vehicle can be actively rolled to avoid rollover due to excessive vehicle speed or excessive vehicle tonnage. The safety performance is higher, the vehicle roll angle and rotation angle can be actively adjusted, and the vehicle has higher maneuverability and flexibility.
[0036] Moreover, the active steering mechanism is arranged into two groups, and the two groups of active steering mechanisms respectively control the steering of the corresponding two wheels 400, so that the control is more flexible and free, and the coordination accuracy of the two wheels 400 when turning can be ensured.
[0037] In one embodiment, each of the active steering mechanisms includes an active steering actuator 210, a steering shaft 220 and a steering arm 230. The output shaft of the active steering actuator 210 is rotatably connected to the steering arm 230 via the steering shaft 220. The steering arm 230 is disposed on one side of the wheel 400, and the steering arm 230 is rotatably connected to the wheel 400. The active steering actuator 210 drives the steering arm 230 to rotate by rotating the output shaft, thereby driving the wheel 400 to steer.
[0038] In this embodiment, the wheel 400 is connected via the steering arm 230 , and the active steering actuator 210 drives the steering arm 230 to drive the wheel 400 to rotate, thereby achieving steering of the wheel 400 .
[0039] In one embodiment, the active roll mechanism includes an active roll actuator 310, an active rocker arm 320, two groups of roll bars 340 and two groups of front rocker arms 350. The active roll actuator 310 is fixed on the frame connecting rod 100, and the middle part of the active rocker arm 320 is fixed on the output shaft of the active roll actuator 310. A rotating shaft mounting part is respectively arranged on both sides of the middle part of the active rocker arm 320.

[0040] In this embodiment, the active roll actuator 310 only needs to control the rotation of the active rocker arm 320, thereby driving the roll bar 340 to swing up and down, and then controlling the active steering mechanism connected to the front rocker arm 350 to swing up and down to achieve the roll operation.
[0041] Specifically, an example is given below:
[0042] When turning right, the right wheel 400 needs to be higher than the left wheel 400, that is, the right wheel 400 needs to be lifted and the left wheel 400 needs to be pressed down; the specific operation is that the active roll actuator 310 rotates counterclockwise, and the active rocker arm 320 swings counterclockwise at this time, and pulls the right roll bar 340 upward, and pushes the left roll bar 340 downward at the same time, so that the left and right roll bars 340 form a low and high misalignment on the vertical plane. At this time, the roll bar 340 will drive the two front rocker arms 350 to also form a low and high position relationship, and drive the left and right active steering mechanisms to move downward and upward respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the right wheel 400 upward relative to the left wheel 400, realizing the roll operation of the wheel 400, and the overall center of gravity of the vehicle body is to the right.
[0043] Similarly, when turning left, it is necessary to make the left wheel 400 higher than the right wheel 400, that is, it is necessary to lift the left wheel 400 and press down the right wheel 400; the specific operation is that the active roll actuator 310 rotates clockwise, and the active rocker arm 320 swings clockwise at this time, and pulls the left roll bar 340 upward, and pushes the right roll bar 340 downward at the same time, so that the right and left roll bars 340 form a low and high misalignment on the vertical plane. At this time, the roll bar 340 will drive the two front rocker arms 350 to also form a low and high position relationship, and drive the right and left active steering mechanisms to move downward and upward respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the left wheel 400 upward relative to the right wheel 400, realizing the roll operation of the wheel 400, and the overall center of gravity of the vehicle body is to the left.
[0044] In this embodiment, the two groups of roll bars 340 and the two groups of front rocker arms 350 can be understood as two roll bars 340 and two front rocker arms 350 .
