[0032] Example 1

[0033] This invention provides an obstacle-crossing wheel, such as... Figures 1-9As shown, the device includes: a mounting housing 1 and an obstacle-crossing mechanism. A traveling wheel 2 is mounted on the outer side of the mounting housing 1. A gear set 3 connected to the traveling wheel 2 is mounted inside the mounting housing 1. The gear set 3 includes a drive gear 4, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 1 via a drive shaft 5. The obstacle-crossing mechanism includes a separation shaft 6, a separation gear 7 mounted on the separation shaft 6, a fan-shaped notch 8 on the separation gear 7, and a clutch tooth 9 at the fan-shaped notch 8. The clutch tooth 9 meshes with the drive gear 4, and the area of ​​the clutch tooth 9 is smaller than the area of ​​the fan-shaped notch 8. A bushing 10 is fitted onto the separation shaft 6. The inner wall of the bushing 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the separation shaft 6. One end of the bushing 10 is connected to the side wall of the clutch gear 9. A first connecting post is provided on the front side wall of the separation gear 7, and a second connecting post is provided on the front side wall of the clutch gear 9. The first connecting post and the second connecting post are connected by a tension spring 11. An obstacle-crossing rod 12 is provided on the outside of the mounting housing 1. A drive rod 13 is provided at the center of the obstacle-crossing rod 12. One end of the drive rod 13 extends into the mounting housing 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 1. A driven gear 14 is provided on the drive rod 13. A transmission assembly is provided between the separation gear 7 and the driven gear 14.

[0034] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: A drive motor is installed on the mounting housing 1. The drive motor is connected to the gear set 3 away from the walking wheel 2, thereby driving the walking wheel 2 to rotate through the gear set 3. When the walking wheel 2 encounters an obstacle during its movement, as the gear set 3 works, the drive gear 4 of the gear set 3 can drive the clutch gear 9 to rotate through meshing with the clutch gear 9. The release gear 7 rotates with the clutch gear 9 under the action of the tension spring 11. Then, the release gear 7 meshes with the drive gear 4, and the drive gear 4 drives the release gear 7 to rotate. The release gear 7 is then driven by the transmission... The component drives the driven gear 14 to rotate, and the driven gear 14 drives the obstacle-crossing rod 12 to rotate through the drive rod 13. The obstacle-crossing rod 12 is perpendicular to the drive rod 13 and is long and narrow. The length of the obstacle-crossing rod 12 can be set according to the maximum height of the obstacle in the environment. As the obstacle-crossing rod 12 rotates, it gradually contacts the obstacle, which can raise the walking wheel 2, allowing the walking wheel 2 to cross or climb over the obstacle, thereby realizing the obstacle-crossing function. This obstacle-crossing wheel does not require additional drive equipment, which reduces weight and lowers the energy consumption and operating cost of the obstacle-crossing wheel.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on the above embodiment 1, the mounting housing 1 includes a first housing and a second housing, which are spliced ​​together and are detachably connected.

[0037] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the mounting housing 1 is used to install and protect the gear set 3 and the obstacle crossing mechanism, etc. The mounting housing 1 is composed of a first housing and a second housing. The first housing and the second housing are detachably connected, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of the components inside the mounting housing 1.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Based on Example 1 or 2, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a transmission shaft 15. One end of the transmission shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 1. The transmission shaft 15 is parallel to the separation shaft 6. A first transmission gear 16 and a second transmission gear 17 are arranged sequentially from front to back on the transmission shaft 15. The first transmission gear 16 meshes with the separation gear 7, and the second transmission gear 17 meshes with the driven gear 14.

[0040] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the rotation of the separation gear 7 can drive the first transmission gear 16 to rotate, the rotation of the first transmission gear 16 can drive the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, the rotation of the transmission shaft 15 can drive the driven gear 14 to rotate, the rotation of the driven gear 14 can drive the drive rod 13 to rotate, and the drive rod 13 can drive the obstacle crossing rod 12 to rotate. Since the obstacle crossing rod 12 is perpendicular to the drive rod 13, the obstacle crossing rod 12 can contact the obstacle and lift the walking wheel 2, so that the walking wheel 2 can cross the obstacle or climb onto the obstacle, thereby improving the overall obstacle crossing ability of the obstacle crossing wheel.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Based on any one of Examples 1-3, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an electric telescopic rod 18 is provided on the side wall of the mounting housing 1, and a stop bar 19 is provided at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 18, with one end of the stop bar 19 aligned with the fan-shaped notch 8.

[0043] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: An electric telescopic rod 18 is installed on the side wall of the mounting housing 1, and a controller is installed inside the mounting housing 1. The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor and the electric telescopic rod 18. In the initial state, the electric telescopic rod 18 is not energized and is in the extended state. At this time, the stop rod 19 is inserted into the fan-shaped notch 8 and is located between the clutch tooth 9 and the release gear 7. Under the action of the tension spring 11, the right side of the clutch tooth 9 contacts the outer wall of the stop rod 19. Therefore, during the forward movement of the traveling wheel 2, since the release gear 7 is blocked by the stop rod 19, the clutch tooth 9 engages and disengages with the drive gear 4 under the action of the tension spring 11. When the traveling wheel 2 encounters an obstacle, the controller controls the drive motor to rotate in the opposite direction by a preset angle, the traveling wheel 2 reverses, and at the same time, the controller controls the electric telescopic rod 18 to retract, and the release gear 7 separates from the stop rod 19. Then the controller controls the drive motor to rotate forward again. When the walking wheel 2 rotates forward, the drive gear 4 meshes with the clutch gear 9, causing the clutch gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the clutch gear 9, in turn, drives the release gear 7 to rotate via the tension spring 11. The clutch gear 9 and the release gear 7 have the same radius. Therefore, as the clutch gear 9 rotates, the release gear 7 gradually meshes with the drive gear 4 and rotates under the drive of the drive gear 4. The rotation of the release gear 7 can drive the driven gear 14 to rotate via the transmission assembly, thereby causing the obstacle-crossing rod 12 to rotate and realize the obstacle-crossing function. After the obstacle is crossed, the controller controls the electric telescopic rod 18 to be de-energized. The electric telescopic rod 18 extends and drives the stop rod 19 to insert into the fan-shaped notch 8 again, blocking the clutch gear 9 and the release gear 7. The walking wheel 2 continues to move forward normally. At this time, the release gear 7 will not mesh with the drive gear 4 due to the obstruction of the stop rod 19, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the drive motor and achieving the energy-saving effect. When encountering the next obstacle, the above steps are repeated to realize the automatic obstacle-crossing function.

[0044] Example 5

[0045] Based on any one of Examples 1-4, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, the cross-section of the drive rod 13 near the obstacle crossing rod 12 is non-circular. The center of the obstacle crossing rod 12 is provided with a connecting hole 20 that matches the end of the drive rod 13. The end of the drive rod 13 is inserted into the connecting hole 20 and connected to the obstacle crossing rod 12.

[0046] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the cross-section of the drive rod 13 near the obstacle crossing rod 12 is a non-circular structure such as a square or elliptical shape. The end of the drive rod 13 is connected to the connecting hole 20, which improves the reliability of the connection. There will be no slippage problem during the rotation of the obstacle crossing rod 12 driven by the drive rod 13.

[0047] Example 6

[0048] Based on Example 5, such as Figures 5-9As shown, the obstacle-crossing rod 12 and the drive rod 13 are connected by a connecting mechanism located within the connecting hole 20. The connecting mechanism includes a drive housing 21, which is n-shaped. The closed end of the drive housing 21 contacts the end of the drive rod 13. Two connecting arms 22 are symmetrically arranged inside the drive housing 21. A hinge seat 23 is provided at one end of the connecting arm 22 near the drive rod 13. The two hinge seats 23 are connected by a connecting spring 24. A rotating column 25 is provided near the middle of the connecting arm 22. Both ends of the rotating column 25 pass through sliding holes 26 and are connected to one end of a fixed rod 27. The other end of the fixed rod 27 is connected to the end of the drive rod 13. A positioning plate 28 is provided on the rotating column 25. The positioning plate 28 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the drive housing 21. The sliding hole 26 is provided on the drive housing 21 and is elongated. The outer wall of the rotating column 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 26. A spring rod is installed in the sliding hole 26. One end of the spring rod is connected to the rotating column 25, and the other end of the spring rod is connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 26 near the drive rod 13. A hook 29 is provided at the end of the connecting arm 22 away from the hinge seat 23. A third connecting column 30 is provided at the end of the connecting arm 22 near the hook 29. Two fourth connecting columns 31 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the drive housing 21. The third connecting column 30 and the fourth connecting column 31 are connected by a reset spring 32. A connecting plate 33 is provided at the end of the connecting hole 20 away from the drive rod 13. The outer wall of the connecting plate 33 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting hole 20. A connecting rod 34 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 33 near the hook 29. A connecting block 35 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 34 away from the connecting plate 33. The connecting block 35 is engaged by the hook 29.

[0049] The connecting plate 33 and the obstacle crossing bar 12 are integrally molded.

[0050] The connecting block 35 is frustum-shaped on the side away from the connecting plate 33, and the hook 29 is provided with a guide slope on the side near the connecting plate 33. The guide slope is adapted to the side of the connecting block 35 away from the connecting plate 33.

[0051] A drive mechanism is provided on the drive rod 13. The drive mechanism is used to control the movement of the drive housing 21. The drive mechanism includes a sliding groove 36. The sliding groove 36 is provided on the upper surface of the drive rod 13. One end of the sliding groove 36 is connected to the connecting hole 20. A sliding rod 37 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 36. A push block 38 is provided at the end of the sliding rod 37 away from the obstacle crossing rod 12. The other end of the sliding rod 37 is in contact with the closed end of the drive housing 21.

[0052] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: For different obstacle heights, it is necessary to select obstacle-crossing rods 12 of corresponding lengths. To facilitate the installation of obstacle-crossing rods 12, a connecting mechanism is set between obstacle-crossing rods 12 and drive rods 13. Initially, obstacle-crossing rods 12 and drive rods 13 are separated. Under the action of the spring rod, the closed end of the drive housing 21 contacts the end of the drive rod 13, and the outer wall of the rotating column 25 contacts the inner wall of one end of the sliding hole 26. Under the action of the connecting spring 24, the two hooks 29 contact each other. When installing obstacle-crossing rods 12, the connecting hole 20 is aligned with the end of the drive rod 13, and the obstacle-crossing rod 12 is pushed so that the end of the drive rod 13 enters the connecting hole 20. The connecting block 35 contacts the end of the hooks 29 and slides along the guide slope, so that the two... The two hooks 29 rotate in a direction away from each other, causing the connecting arm 22 to rotate around the rotating column 25. The connecting arm 22 drives the hinge seat 23 to move, causing the connecting spring 24 to compress. Since the diameter of the connecting block 35 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 34, after the connecting block 35 passes the hooks 29, under the action of the connecting spring 24 and the return spring 32, the two hooks 29 move closer to each other and contact the outside of the connecting rod 34. The hooks 29 then lock the connecting block 35 between the drive housing 21 and the hooks 29. At this time, the obstacle crossing rod 12 is installed at the end of the drive rod 13. Preferably, the connecting plate 33 and the obstacle crossing rod 12 are integrally formed, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting plate 33 and the obstacle crossing rod 12 and extend the service life. When the obstacle crossing rod needs to be replaced... When the lever is 12, push the push block 38 towards the obstacle-crossing lever 12. Push block 38 drives the sliding rod 37 to slide in the sliding groove 36. The sliding rod 37 pushes the drive housing 21 to move towards the connecting plate 33. The outer wall of the drive housing 21 slides along the positioning plate 28. The two ends of the rotating column 25 are respectively connected to the ends of the drive rod 13 through the fixed rod 27. The rotating column 25 and the fixed rod 27 are rotatably connected. As the drive housing 21 moves, the rotating column 25 slides in the sliding hole 26. The spring rod is gradually compressed. As the drive housing 21 gradually approaches the connecting block 35, the drive housing 21 drives the fourth connecting column 31 to gradually approach the connecting block 35. Under the action of the return spring 32, the connecting arm 22 rotates around the rotating column 25 as the center. The two hooks 29 move away from the connecting block 35. When the rod 34 moves in the direction of the two hooks 29, and the distance between them is greater than the diameter of the connecting block 35, the obstacle-crossing rod 12 can be pulled outward, causing the connecting hole 20 to separate from the end of the drive rod 13. This allows the obstacle-crossing rod 12 to be removed and replaced. By setting up a connecting mechanism, the obstacle-crossing rod 12 can be quickly replaced without the need for tools, making the disassembly and assembly of the obstacle-crossing rod 12 more convenient. This facilitates the replacement of obstacle-crossing rods 12 of different lengths, allowing the obstacle-crossing wheel to adapt to different usage environments and improving its obstacle-crossing ability. At the same time, the obstacle-crossing rod 12 is prone to bending when used frequently. The connecting mechanism allows for the quick removal of damaged obstacle-crossing rods 12 and the rapid replacement with new ones, ensuring the obstacle-crossing ability of the obstacle-crossing wheel.

[0054] Based on any one of Examples 1-6, such as Figure 5 As shown, anti-slip sleeves 39 are provided at both ends of the obstacle crossing pole 12, and anti-slip convex strips are provided on the outside of the anti-slip sleeves 39.

[0055] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: When the obstacle crossing pole 12 rotates, the anti-slip sleeve 39 at the end of the obstacle crossing pole 12 can contact the obstacle.
