DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0053] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention first provides a robot based on Mecanum wheels, the robot comprising a calf frame 10 and a thigh frame 30, Mecanum wheels 20 are correspondingly installed on both sides of the bottom of the calf frame 10, so as to drive the robot to walk omnidirectionally through the Mecanum wheels 20.

[0055] For driving the Mecanum wheel 20 to rotate, the present invention provides a corresponding driving assembly 80, which can be installed on the calf frame 10. As a specific example, the driving assembly 80 may include two wheel drive motors 81 and two wheel drive flange shafts 83, and the wheel drive motors 81 are respectively installed on the bottom side of the calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10 through the motor limit housing 82 to lower the center of gravity of the robot and improve the stability of the robot; and the shaft end of each wheel drive flange shaft 83 is fixedly connected to the output end of the wheel drive motor 81, and the flange end of the wheel drive flange shaft 83 is connected to the cross roller bearing on the Mecanum wheel 20. Under the above structure, the robot can be driven to walk in all directions with the help of the wheel drive motor 81.

[0056] On this basis, the present invention further selects to rotatably install the thigh frame 30 on the calf frame 10, and correspondingly rotatably installs a docking plate 40 between the two thigh plates 31 in the thigh frame 30, so as to adjust the center of gravity of the robot after the robot is loaded, thereby improving the adaptability and stability of the robot under different loads. In order to drive and adjust the corresponding structure, further, the present invention also provides a lifting adjustment component 50 and a horizontal adjustment component 60, the lifting adjustment component 50 is used to rotate the thigh frame 30 and adjust the horizontal height of the docking plate 40, and the horizontal adjustment component 60 is used to rotate the docking plate 40 so that the top of the docking plate 40 is in a horizontal state.

[0057] As a specific example, the lifting and adjusting component 50 includes a lifting drive motor 51 and a lifting drive shaft 52. The lifting drive motor 51 is installed on one of the calf plates 11 in the calf frame 10 through one of the motor limit shells 82 to lower the center of gravity of the robot and improve the stability of the robot; the two ends of the lifting drive shaft 52 pass through the two calf plates 11 in the calf frame 10 and are fixedly connected to the thigh frame 30. The lifting drive motor 51 is transmission-connected to the lifting drive shaft 52. Under the above structure, the lifting drive shaft 52 is driven by the lifting drive motor 51 to swing the thigh frame 30 forward and backward to adjust the horizontal height of the docking plate 40 on the thigh frame 30.

[0058] In order to lower the center of the robot as a whole and avoid the mutual influence between the lifting drive motor 51 and the wheel drive motor 81, the lifting drive motor 51 and the wheel drive motor 81 can be driven independently. Under the above structure, the lifting drive motor 51 and the wheel drive motor 81 can be coaxially arranged, and the output end of the wheel drive motor 81 is connected to the wheel drive flange shaft 83 after passing through the output end of the lifting drive motor 51, and the drag reduction bearing 55 is used to reduce the resistance when the speed difference between the two is reached.

[0059] As a specific example, the lifting and adjusting component 50 may also include a lifting driving wheel 1 53, which is mounted on the calf frame 10 and is also fixed on the output end of the lifting driving motor 51; and a lifting driving wheel 2 54, which is mounted on the calf frame 10 and is also fixed on the lifting driving shaft 52, and the lifting driving wheel 2 54 is connected to the lifting driving wheel 1 53 in transmission. Under the above structure, the lifting driving motor 51 drives the lifting driving shaft 52 through the lifting driving wheel 1 53 and the lifting driving wheel 2 54 in turn, thereby swinging the thigh frame 30 forward and backward.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, as a specific example of a transmission structure, the horizontal adjustment component 60 includes a horizontal drive motor 61 and a force guide shaft 62. The horizontal drive motor 61 is installed on another calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10 through another motor limit shell 82 to lower the center of gravity of the robot and improve the stability of the robot; the force guide shaft 62 is fixed on the docking plate 40, and the two ends of the force guide shaft 62 are rotatably installed on the two thigh plates 31 in the thigh frame 30. The horizontal drive motor 61 is connected to the force guide shaft 62 for transmission. Under the above structure, the force guide shaft 62 is driven by the horizontal drive motor 61, so as to swing the docking plate 40 on the thigh frame 30 forward and backward to cooperate with the adjustment of the thigh frame 30 so that the top of the docking plate 40 on the thigh frame 30 is always in a horizontal state.

[0061] In order to lower the center of the robot as a whole and avoid the mutual influence between the horizontal drive motor 61 and the wheel drive motor 81, the horizontal drive motor 61 and the wheel drive motor 81 can be driven independently. Under the above structure, the horizontal drive motor 61 and the wheel drive motor 81 can be coaxially arranged, and the output end of the wheel drive motor 81 is connected to the wheel drive flange shaft 83 after passing through the output end of the horizontal drive motor 61, and another drag-reducing bearing 55 is used to reduce the resistance when the speed difference between the two is reached.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, as a specific example of a transmission structure, the above-mentioned horizontal adjustment component 60 also includes a horizontal driving wheel 1 63, which is installed on another calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10; a horizontal driving wheel 2 64, which is installed on another calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10, and the horizontal driving wheel 2 64 is connected to the horizontal driving wheel 1 63 by transmission; a horizontal driving wheel 3 65, which is installed on another calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10, and the horizontal driving wheel 3 65 is connected to the horizontal driving wheel 2 64 through a guide shaft 2 66; a horizontal driving wheel 4 67, which is installed on another calf plate 11 in the calf frame 10, and the horizontal driving wheel 4 67 is connected to the horizontal driving wheel 3 65 by transmission. Horizontal drive wheel 5 68, horizontal drive wheel 5 68 is installed on one of the thigh plates 31 in the thigh frame 30, horizontal drive wheel 5 68 is connected to horizontal drive wheel 4 67 through guide shaft 3 69, guide shaft 3 69 is inserted into the lifting drive shaft 52; and horizontal drive wheel 6 610, horizontal drive wheel 6 610 is installed on one of the thigh plates 31 in the thigh frame 30, horizontal drive wheel 6 610 is connected to horizontal drive wheel 5 68 in transmission. Under the above structure, horizontal drive motor 61 drives lifting drive shaft 52 through horizontal drive wheel 1 63, horizontal drive wheel 2 64, horizontal drive wheel 3 65, horizontal drive wheel 4 67, horizontal drive wheel 5 68, and horizontal drive wheel 6 610 in sequence, thereby swinging docking plate 40 forward and backward. At the same time, since guide shaft 3 69 is inserted into the lifting drive shaft 52, the horizontal adjustment component 60 and the lifting adjustment component 50 can act independently to adjust the thigh frame 30 and docking plate 40 independently.

[0063] On this basis, the present invention further provides a locking assembly 70 for locking the Mecanum wheel 20 , and the locking assembly 70 is installed on the Mecanum wheel 20 .

[0064] As a specific example, the locking assembly 70 includes a brake push rod 71, which is mounted on a wheel frame in the Mecanum wheel 20 and can slide toward or away from the wheel in the Mecanum wheel 20; and a brake pad 72, which is used to lock the rotating roller in the Mecanum wheel 20, and the brake pad 72 is mounted on the brake push rod 71. When braking, the brake push rod 71 moves and makes the brake pad 72 fit on the rotating roller in the Mecanum wheel 20 to lock the Mecanum wheel 20 and prevent it from rotating, thereby improving its stability during loading.

[0065] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, as a specific example of a transmission structure, the locking assembly 70 further includes a transmission sleeve 73, which is mounted on the axle of the Mecanum wheel 20, and the transmission sleeve 73 can slide along the axle of the Mecanum wheel 20, and the brake push rod 71 is connected to the transmission sleeve 73 through a connecting hinge 74; a brake sleeve 75, which is mounted on the axle of the Mecanum wheel 20; and a return spring 76, which is mounted on the transmission sleeve 73, and the two ends of the return spring 76 are correspondingly abutted on the transmission sleeve 73 and the brake sleeve 75; an energized coil is installed in the brake sleeve 75, and when the energized coil is energized, the transmission sleeve 73 slides in the direction close to the wheel body of the Mecanum wheel 20 under the action of the energized coil, so that the brake push rod 71 is ejected and the brake pad 72 is pushed by the connecting hinge 74 to lock the Mecanum wheel 20; and when the energized coil is de-energized, the transmission sleeve 73 can be reset under the action of the return spring 76.

[0066] It should be noted that each robot in the present invention can perform the transport action independently, or two or more robots can be combined to form a collaborative transport system (such as Figure 7 As shown), when the above system is carrying out transportation, the robots first move to the side of the platform 90 in an interval manner, and each robot then swings the thigh frame 30 to lower the height of the docking plate 40, and then drives under the object to be transported 110, and the thigh frame 30 swings and raises the docking plate 40 to complete the adaptive alignment, and then the thigh frame 30 continues to swing and uses the docking plate 40 to lift the object to be transported 110 on the platform 90, so as to use the docking plates 40 on two or more robots as fulcrums to carry the object to be transported 110, and the robot then walks and transports the items to the designated location. It is worth noting that before successfully transporting the object to be transported 110, the rotating rollers of the Mecanum wheels 20 of each balancing vehicle are in a braking state to prevent slipping. After successfully lifting the object to be transported 110, the object to be transported 110 itself will provide restrictions for multiple balancing vehicles. At this time, the Mecanum wheels 20 are no longer braked, and the multiple balancing robots as a whole will achieve the effect of a multi-wheeled flatbed vehicle (more than 4 wheels) and move in all directions. The above system of the present invention has strong adaptability, for example, it can adapt to transported objects of different shapes and sizes and does not rely on a standardized operating environment.

[0067] It should be noted that, based on the above principle, a set of locking components 70 can be provided on each Mecanum wheel 20 in the present invention; similarly, in order to further improve the locking effect, a plurality of brake push rods 71 ​​and brake pads 72 corresponding to each brake push rod 71 can be provided in each set of locking components 70 (the brake push rods 71 ​​and the brake pads 72 can be provided in a circular array at this time), so that each brake pad can be used to lock multiple or all rotating rollers in the Mecanum wheel 20.

[0068] It should be noted that the driving wheel in the present invention can be a conventional transmission structure such as a sprocket, a synchronous belt pulley, etc. Correspondingly, conventional transmission forms such as chain drive, synchronous belt drive, rope drive, etc. can be adopted between the wheels, so they are not repeated in the present invention.

[0069] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
