Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned transport robots, and more specifically, to a rear axle power transmission device of an unmanned transport robot. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned transport robots are a type of unmanned vehicle. They generally use on-board sensors to sense the surrounding environment, and control the steering and speed based on the road, vehicle position and obstacle information obtained through the perception, so that the unmanned transport robot can travel safely and reliably on the road. Unmanned transport robots mainly work in harsh working conditions such as beaches, grasslands, mountains, riverbeds and rugged roads. During transportation, they need to withstand various impact loads, forces and torques. The complex and harsh driving environment has high requirements for the passability, handling stability and driving safety of unmanned transport robots. The rear axle is one of the important components of the unmanned transport robot power system. However, the common unmanned transport robot rear axles on the market mostly adopt the integral bridge form. Although this design method can maximize the rigidity of the vehicle and can move in complex working conditions such as rugged roads and other harsh working conditions, if the wheel at one end of the rear axle slips and the wheel at the other end is suspended, the unmanned transport robot will be stuck and unable to escape. And because it is an unmanned automatic driving, there is no person to get off the car to rescue, and the backstage personnel can only be notified remotely to rescue on site, which greatly reduces the work efficiency of the unmanned transport robot and the use effect is not ideal. The utility model patent with announcement number CN218287412U discloses a skateboard-type wire-controlled chassis electric unmanned vehicle, but the utility model does not make structural improvements to the rear axle to help enhance the escape performance. Summary of the invention

The connection groove 133 is filled with lubricating oil, which can cool the connection key 134 and ensure the sliding flexibility of the connection key 134 and the connection groove 133. The oil seal 137 is provided to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil. The suspension bridge 14 is arranged on the top of the main bridge housing 12, and is used to install the leaf spring suspension. One end of the suspension bridge 14 extends to the top of the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The suspension bridge 14 is arc-shaped, and the bottom of the suspension bridge 14 is also provided with a leaf spring frame 141 located between the first locking device 17 and the second locking device 18, which is used to connect the leaf spring suspension.

The wheel hub 136 is used to install the tire. The interior of the differential case 11 is provided with a main shaft and a differential for connecting the power system of the unmanned transport robot 2. The opposite ends of the two main half-shafts 121 are connected to the main shaft through the differential. The power is transmitted to the main half-shafts 121 through the main shaft, and then the tires are driven to rotate through the universal joint 15, the universal shaft 132 and the secondary half-shaft 131, thereby realizing the movement of the unmanned transport robot 2.

[0032] The adjusting device 16 is arranged on the suspension bridge 14, and the adjusting device 16 includes a hydraulic cylinder 161 and a driving seat 162. The hydraulic cylinder 161 is arranged on the top of the suspension bridge 14, and the driving seat 162 is movably arranged inside the suspension bridge 14 and driven by the hydraulic cylinder 161; an avoidance groove 163 is arranged inside the driving seat 162, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161 extends into the avoidance groove 163 and is suspended in the avoidance groove 163. First magnetic suction grooves 164 are arranged on both sides of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161, and first pin shafts 165 are movably embedded on both sides of the inner wall of the avoidance groove 163. The first pin shaft 165 corresponds to the two first magnetic suction grooves 164 one by one. The outside of the first pin shaft 165 is also sleeved with a first spring 166, and one end of the first spring 166 conflicts with one side of the hydraulic cylinder 161; a second magnetic suction groove 167 is arranged at the bottom of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161, and electromagnets 186 are arranged in the first magnetic suction groove 164 and the second magnetic suction groove 167. A second pin 168 is movably embedded at the bottom of the inner wall of the avoidance groove 163, and the second pin 168 corresponds to the second magnetic suction groove 167. A sealing gasket 169 is provided at the top of the driving seat 162, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161 is inserted into the inside of the sealing gasket 169 to form an insert fit with the sealing gasket 169. The sealing gasket 169 can be provided to seal the large opening at the top of the avoidance groove 163. When the first pin 165 is sucked into the second magnetic suction groove 167, one end of the first pin 165 can still block the side hole of the avoidance groove 163 to reduce the entry of dust. At the same time, since the sealing gasket 169 is made of rubber, it will not affect the movement of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161. A fixing plate 139 is provided on both sides of one end of the auxiliary bridge housing 13, and the two fixing plates 139 correspond to the two ear plates 138 one by one. The fixing plate 139 is fixed on one side of the ear plate 138. A sliding rod 1392 is provided between the two fixing plates 139. A sliding groove 1391 is provided on the fixing plate 139. The groove width of the sliding groove 1391 is adapted to the diameter of the sliding rod 1392. The sliding rod 1392 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 1391, so that the sliding rod 1392 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 139; the bottom of the driving seat 162 extends between the two fixing plates 139 and is sleeved with the sliding rod 1392.The electromagnet 186 is started to attract the first pin 165 and the second pin 168 to enter the first magnetic groove 164 and the second magnetic groove 167. During the process, the first pin 165 compresses the first spring 166. The first pin 165 is set so that when the hydraulic cylinder 161 is started, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161 pushes the driving seat 162 to descend through the first pin 165, so that the driving seat 162 pushes the sliding rod 1392 to descend. The second pin 168 is set to avoid the left and right shaking between the driving seat 162 and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161, so that the relative position of the driving seat 162 and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161 is stable. The position remains stable, when the electromagnet 186 inside the first magnetic suction groove 164 and the second magnetic suction groove 167 is closed, the first spring 166 rebounds and contacts the first pin shaft 165 to reset, and the second pin shaft 168 automatically drops due to gravity, so that the first pin shaft 165 and the second pin shaft 168 are separated from the contact with the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161, avoiding the rigid vibration of the main bridge housing 12 from being directly transmitted to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 161 by the fixed plate 139, the sliding rod 1392 and the driving seat 162, thereby reducing the occurrence of damage to the hydraulic cylinder 161 and ensuring the service life of the hydraulic cylinder 161, so that it can be used normally when the tire height needs to be adjusted.

[0033] The first locking device 17 is arranged between the suspension bridge 14 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The first locking device 17 includes a support plate 171 and a fixing seat 172. The support plate 171 is fixed to the bottom of one end of the suspension bridge 14, and the fixing seat 172 is fixed to the top of the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The bottom end of the support plate 171 extends to the inside of the fixing seat 172, and a brush 177 is provided on the top of the inner wall of the fixing seat 172; tooth plates 174 are movably provided on both sides of the bottom of the support plate 171, and tooth grooves 175 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the fixing seat 172. The two tooth grooves 175 are meshed with the two tooth plates 174 in a one-to-one correspondence. An electric push rod is provided on one side of the fixing seat 172, and the electric push rod locks the tooth plate 174. A second spring 173 is provided on the side of the tooth plate 174 away from the tooth groove 175. An insert plate 176 is provided at the output end of the electric push rod, and one end of the insert plate 176 extends between the two tooth plates 174, and the end of the insert plate 176 away from the electric push rod is conical. The output end of the electric push rod and the plug plate 176 are connected by a T-block and a T-slot, and the internal space of the T-slot is larger than the T-block part, so that the T-block does not directly contact the T-slot. Each time the T-block is pulled or pushed by the output end of the electric push rod, it is necessary to move the T-block to make the T-slot larger than the part of the space before it can contact the T-slot. This design can effectively prevent the plug plate 176 from directly transmitting the vibration received to the output end of the electric push rod, thereby reducing the damage to the electric push rod. The sealing sleeve 19 is provided to prevent dust from entering between the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The cooperation of the tooth plate 174 and the tooth groove 175 is used to lock the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 1 3, to ensure the overall stability of the auxiliary bridge housing 13 after the angle is adjusted. After the first magnetic attraction groove 164 and the second magnetic attraction groove 167 absorb the first pin shaft 165 and the second pin shaft 168, the electric push rod is started to drive the plug plate 176 to disengage from between the two tooth plates 174, so that when the two tooth plates 174 are resisted by the tooth groove 175, the second spring 173 is compressed to retreat and avoid. When the angle of the auxiliary bridge housing 13 is adjusted, the electric push rod is started again to drive the plug plate 176 to insert between the two tooth plates 174, limit the two tooth plates 174, realize the locking of the relative position of the tooth plate 174 and the tooth groove 175, and lock the angle of the auxiliary bridge housing 13.

[0034] The second locking device 18 includes a first stabilizing plate 181 and a second stabilizing plate 182. The first stabilizing plate 181 is arranged on both sides of one end of the main axle housing 12, and the second stabilizing plate 182 is arranged on both sides of one end of the auxiliary axle housing 13 and respectively corresponds to the first stabilizing plate 181. A cylinder 183 is arranged on one side of the second stabilizing plate 182, and a connecting plate 185 is connected to the inside of the second stabilizing plate 182 through a third spring 184. One end of the connecting plate 185 extends to the inside of the first stabilizing plate 181, and an electromagnet 186 is close to the other end of the connecting plate 185. The second locking device 18 is used to further ensure the structural stability of the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13 when the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13 are at the same level, retaining the characteristics of the integral bridge, and cooperating with the first locking device 17, the structural strength is greatly improved. When it is necessary to adjust the lowering height of the auxiliary bridge housing 13, the electromagnet 186 at the output end of the cylinder 183 is started to suck the connecting plate 185, and then the connecting plate 185 is pulled out of the inside of the first stabilizing plate 181, and the adjusting device 16 can be started to prepare to drive the auxiliary bridge housing 13 to perform a downward and flipping movement. The output end of the cylinder 183 is not directly in contact with the connecting plate 185, and the connecting plate 185 needs to be pulled through and adsorbed by the electromagnet 186. This design can effectively reduce the vibration damage to the output end of the cylinder 183 and reduce the occurrence of damage.

[0035] When the rear wheels of the unmanned transport robot 2 are stuck, the first locking device 17 and the second locking device 18 are used to release the overall bridge shape of the rear axle, and then the auxiliary bridge housing 13 and the auxiliary half-shaft 131 are lowered through the adjusting device 16, and the auxiliary half-shaft 131 drives one end of the tire to descend and contact the ground, which greatly increases the unmanned transport robot 2's ability to escape from trouble, and at the same time, remote call personnel can be made to rush to the scene for rescue. After escaping from trouble, the auxiliary bridge housing 13 can be rotated again through the adjusting device 16 to be consistent with the main bridge housing 12, and connected into an integral bridge shape through the first locking device 17 and the second locking device 18, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the unmanned transport robot 2.

[0039] The first locking device 17 is arranged between the suspension bridge 14 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The first locking device 17 includes a support plate 171 and a fixing seat 172. The support plate 171 is fixed to the bottom of one end of the suspension bridge 14, and the fixing seat 172 is fixed to the top of the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The bottom end of the support plate 171 extends to the inside of the fixing seat 172, and a brush 177 is provided on the top of the inner wall of the fixing seat 172. Different from Example 1, in this embodiment, the support plate 171 and the fixing seat 172 are further defined as an arc, and the arc centers of the support plate 171 and the fixing seat 172 coincide with the axis of the rotation shaft of the ear plate 138. This design The design makes it possible for the auxiliary bridge housing 13 to drive the fixed seat 172 to rotate synchronously without interference movement; tooth plates 174 are movably provided on both sides of the bottom of the support plate 171, and tooth grooves 175 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed seat 172. The two tooth grooves 175 are meshed with the two tooth plates 174 in a one-to-one correspondence. An electric push rod is provided on one side of the fixed seat 172, and the electric push rod locks the tooth plate 174. A second spring 173 is provided on the side of the tooth plate 174 away from the tooth groove 175. An insert plate 176 is provided at the output end of the electric push rod, and one end of the insert plate 176 extends between the two tooth plates 174, and the end of the insert plate 176 away from the electric push rod is tapered. The output end of the electric push rod and the plug plate 176 are connected by a T-block and a T-slot, and the internal space of the T-slot is larger than the T-block part, so that the T-block does not directly contact the T-slot. Each time the T-block is pulled or pushed by the output end of the electric push rod, it is necessary to move the T-block to make the T-slot larger than the part of the space before it can contact the T-slot. This design can effectively prevent the plug plate 176 from directly transmitting the vibration received to the output end of the electric push rod, thereby reducing the damage to the electric push rod. The sealing sleeve 19 is provided to prevent dust from entering between the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13. The cooperation of the tooth plate 174 and the tooth groove 175 is used to lock the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 1 3, to ensure the overall stability of the auxiliary bridge housing 13 after the angle is adjusted. After the first magnetic attraction groove 164 and the second magnetic attraction groove 167 absorb the first pin shaft 165 and the second pin shaft 168, the electric push rod is started to drive the plug plate 176 to disengage from between the two tooth plates 174, so that when the two tooth plates 174 are resisted by the tooth groove 175, the second spring 173 is compressed to retreat and avoid. When the angle of the auxiliary bridge housing 13 is adjusted, the electric push rod is started again to drive the plug plate 176 to insert between the two tooth plates 174, limit the two tooth plates 174, realize the locking of the relative position of the tooth plate 174 and the tooth groove 175, and lock the angle of the auxiliary bridge housing 13.

One end of the connecting plate 185 extends to the inside of the first stabilizing plate 181, and an electromagnet 186 is close to the other end of the connecting plate 185. The second locking device 18 is used to further ensure the structural stability of the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13 when the main bridge housing 12 and the auxiliary bridge housing 13 are at the same level, retaining the characteristics of the integral bridge, and cooperating with the first locking device 17, the structural strength is greatly improved. When it is necessary to adjust the lowering height of the auxiliary bridge housing 13, the electromagnet 186 at the output end of the cylinder 183 is started to suck the connecting plate 185, and then the connecting plate 185 is pulled out of the inside of the first stabilizing plate 181, and the adjusting device 16 can be started to prepare to drive the auxiliary bridge housing 13 to perform a downward and flipping movement. The output end of the cylinder 183 is not directly in contact with the connecting plate 185, and the connecting plate 185 needs to be pulled through and adsorbed by the electromagnet 186. This design can effectively reduce the vibration damage to the output end of the cylinder 183 and reduce the occurrence of damage.

[0041] When the rear wheels of the unmanned transport robot 2 are stuck, the first locking device 17 and the second locking device 18 are used to release the overall bridge shape of the rear axle, and then the auxiliary bridge housing 13 and the auxiliary half-shaft 131 are lowered through the adjusting device 16, and the auxiliary half-shaft 131 drives one end of the tire to descend and contact the ground, which greatly increases the unmanned transport robot 2's ability to escape from trouble, and at the same time, remote call personnel can be made to rush to the scene for rescue. After escaping from trouble, the auxiliary bridge housing 13 can be rotated again through the adjusting device 16 to be consistent with the main bridge housing 12, and connected into an integral bridge shape through the first locking device 17 and the second locking device 18, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the unmanned transport robot 2.
