DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] A height-adjustable dynamic wheelbase mobile chassis includes a height-adjustable dynamic wheelbase assembly;

[0027] Wherein, the height-adjustable dynamic wheelbase assembly includes a linear drive mechanism and a height-adjustable wheel;

[0028] Among them, Figure 4 and 6 As shown, the height-adjustable wheel includes a motor base 101, a first motor 102 is fixedly connected to the motor base 101, a shaft 103 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 102 through a coupling, the shaft 103 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the first motor 102, an eccentric disk 104 is fixedly connected to the end of the shaft 103 away from the first motor 102, the eccentric disk 104 is disc-shaped, the shaft 103 is fixedly connected at the eccentric position of the eccentric disk 104, the axis of the eccentric disk 104 is parallel to the axis of the shaft 103, the stator of the hub motor 105 is detachably connected to the eccentric disk 104, the rotation axis of the hub motor 105 is arranged parallel to the axis of the shaft 103 and has a spacing, and the rotation axis of the hub motor 105 coincides with the axis of the eccentric disk 104. Starting the first motor 102 drives the shaft 103 to rotate around the output shaft of the first motor 102, the shaft 103 drives the eccentric disk 104 to rotate around the shaft 103, and the eccentric disk 104 drives the hub motor 105 to rotate around the axis of the shaft 103 to achieve circular motion. At the same time, when the hub motor 105 is started, the hub structure of the hub motor 105 can rotate by itself, which is beneficial for the hub motor 105 to climb steps and gullies; for example, after the hub motor 105 makes a circular motion higher than the step, the hub motor 105 continues to make a circular motion and moves closer to the step while moving downward to contact the upper end surface of the step, supporting itself and providing friction in the direction of travel to simulate climbing; two height-adjustable wheels are symmetrically arranged on the left and right; preferably, a tire is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the hub.

[0029] refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, the linear drive mechanism includes a gear driver, which includes a base 201, a slider 202 fixedly connected to the lower end of the base 201, and a second motor 203 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 201. The output shaft of the second motor 203 is arranged downward and passes through the base 201 from top to bottom. A gear 204 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 203; each height-adjustable wheel is used in conjunction with a gear driver, and the two bases 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the two motor seats 101; the linear drive mechanism also includes a guide rail support seat 301, and the guide rail support seat 301 is fixedly connected to the mutually The guide rails 302 and racks 303 are parallel, that is, the direction of the tooth array of the rack 303 is the same as the guide direction of the guide rails 302. All sliders 202 are slidably connected to the guide rails 302, so that the sliders 202 can only move linearly relative to the guide rails 302. The two gears 204 are meshed with the racks 303 for transmission. When the second motor 203 is started, the second motor 203 can drive the gear 204 to rotate around the output shaft of the second motor 203. Since the gear 204 is meshed with the rack 303, it moves linearly along the rack 303, thereby driving the height-adjustable wheel to move left and right.

[0030] Furthermore, two guide rails 302 are provided, one in front and one in the back, and the two guide rails are parallel. Four sliders 202 are provided at the lower end of each base 201, and two are arranged in a row. The two rows of sliders 202 correspond to the two guide rails 302. The sliders 202 in the front row are slidably connected to the guide rails 302 in the front side, and the sliders 202 in the rear row are slidably connected to the guide rails 302 in the rear side.

[0031] Furthermore, limit blocks 304 are provided on the left and right sides of each height-adjustable wheel, and the limit blocks 304 are fixed to the guide rail 302 , so that the slider 202 moves between two adjacent limit blocks 304 to prevent the slider 202 from detaching from the guide rail 302 .

[0032] There are two height-adjustable dynamic wheelbase components symmetrically arranged one in front and one behind, the two bases 201 are fixedly connected to the chassis 401, the hub motor 105 is lower than the chassis 401, and the chassis 401 is fixedly connected with a driver 402 for controlling the first motor 102, the second motor 203 and the hub motor 105, a lower computer 403 for controlling the driver 402, and a power supply 404 for supplying power to the first motor 102, the second motor 203, the hub motor 105, the driver 402 and the lower computer 403.

[0033] Among them, the wheel hub motor 105 realizes the change in height, and its adjustable chassis height depends on twice the eccentricity of the shaft 103 and the eccentric disk 104. By adjusting the chassis height, the smart car can pass more obstacles, such as steps, gullies, etc. In addition, the height-adjustable wheels can be driven to move to the left and right sides of the chassis 401 through the meshing transmission of the gear 204 and the rack 303, thereby realizing the two-way expansion of the wheelbase, so as to improve the movement ability and stability of the smart car. In addition, when the wheelbase is reduced, the floor space is saved, which brings advantages to the commercialization of the smart car. The chassis height of the present invention can be adjusted by 25-90mm, and the dynamic wheelbase can be adjusted by 580-710mm.
