[0022] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a power drive mechanism for a wheel-track deformable wheel, which is used to drive the wheel frame, track driving wheel, track driven wheel, track supporting wheel, deformation power device, deformation drive motor, gear reducer, lead screw, deformation wheel rim, arc wheel rim piece, track, deformation slider, spring stretch rod and the combination of the above parts in the Chinese invention patent "CN105564148B-A deformable wheel-track-leg composite robot". The combination of the above structures is equivalent to the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 of the present application. At this time, the power drive mechanism for the wheel-track deformable wheel of the present invention is used to replace the travel power device in the above patent. Of course, the present invention can also be used to drive wheel-track deformable wheels of other structures with the same principle as the above patent.

[0023] The power drive mechanism for the wheel track deformable wheel includes a wheel frame drive member 1 and an input end drive member 2 of a self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group. The wheel frame drive member 1 is used to drive the wheel frame 41 of the wheel track deformable wheel 4 to rotate, and is particularly suitable for when its deformable wheel rim 43 is circular and the wheel track deformable wheel 4 is in a circular wheel shape for revolution drive. The input end drive member 2 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group is used to drive the input end 42 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group of the wheel track deformable wheel 4 to rotate, thereby driving the output end of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group to drive the track driving wheel to rotate, and drive the track 44 to rotate, and is particularly suitable for when its deformable wheel rim 43 is irregular and the wheel track deformable wheel 4 uses the track 44 to travel.

[0024] The wheel carrier driving member 1 and the input end driving member 2 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group form a planetary gear train; The wheel frame driving member 1 includes an inner gear ring 11 and an inner gear ring locking mechanism 12, one end of the inner gear ring 11 is provided with a wheel frame fixing structure 111, the wheel frame fixing structure 111 is used to be fixedly connected with the middle of the wheel frame 41 of the wheel track deformation wheel 4, and then when the inner gear ring 11 rotates, the wheel frame 41 can be driven to rotate, a through hole Ⅰ112 is provided in the middle of the wheel frame fixing structure 111, and a through hole Ⅱ113 is provided at the other end of the inner gear ring 11, and the inner gear ring locking mechanism 12 is used to control the inner gear ring 11 to be locked or unlocked on the wheel mounting frame 5, wherein the wheel mounting frame 5 is the body of the robot for installing the power driving mechanism for the wheel track deformation wheel and the installation part of the driving wheel track deformation wheel 4; The input end driving member 2 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group includes an input shaft 21, a sun gear 22, a planetary gear 23, a planetary carrier 24 and a planetary carrier locking mechanism 25, wherein the input shaft 21, the sun gear 22, the planetary gear 23, the planetary carrier 24 and the inner ring gear 11 constitute a planetary gear system, one end of the input shaft 21 is located outside the through hole II 113 for rotational installation on the wheel mounting frame 5, and the other end extends into the through hole II 113 and fixes the sun gear 22. Preferably, the position of the sun gear 22 corresponds to the position of the inner teeth 116 of the inner ring gear 11, and the planetary carrier 24 includes a frame body I241 that is rotationally matched with the through hole I 112 and a frame body II 242 that is rotationally matched with the through hole II 113. The gear shaft at one end of the planetary gear 23 is rotationally matched with the frame body I241, and the gear shaft at the other end is rotationally matched with the frame body II 242, that is, the planetary gear 23 rotates the frame body I2 41 and frame body II 242 are connected as a whole that rotates synchronously. Preferably, frame body I 241 and frame body II 242 can also form a whole through a connecting rod 243 to further improve the integrity of frame body I 241 and frame body II 242, and the planetary gear 23 is meshed with the sun gear 22 and the inner ring gear 11. Specifically, the planetary gear 23 is meshed with the outer gear of the sun gear 22 and the inner tooth 116 of the inner ring gear 11. The frame body I 241 extends out of the through hole I 112 and is provided with an input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group. The input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group is used to be fixedly connected with the input end 42 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group, so that when the planetary frame 24 rotates, the input end 42 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group can be driven to rotate. The planetary frame locking mechanism 25 is used to control the frame body II 242 to be locked or unlocked on the wheel mounting frame 5.

[0025] The wheel-track deformable wheel power drive mechanism of the present invention is used to drive the wheel-track deformable wheel 4, so that four driving modes can be realized: a deformable wheel rim revolution driving mode, a track driving mode, an adaptive driving mode and a braking mode. Reference Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3In the deformable wheel rim revolution driving mode, the inner gear ring locking mechanism 12 unlocks the inner gear ring 11, and the planet carrier locking mechanism 25 locks the frame body II 242. Since the rotation of the frame body II 242 and the frame body I 241 is synchronized under the connection of the planetary gear 23, the planet carrier locking mechanism 25 will also lock the rotation of the frame body I 241. At the same time, the axis position of the planetary gear 23 is locked, and the frame body I 241 is fixedly locked. The rotation of the input shaft 21 drives the sun gear 22 rotates, the sun gear 22 drives the planetary gears 23 and the inner gear ring 11 to rotate in turn. At this time, the planetary gears 23 can only rotate along their own axis, but cannot revolve along the axis of the sun gear 22. Therefore, the sun gear 22 only drives the inner gear ring 11 to rotate, and the inner gear ring 11 drives the wheel frame 41 of the wheel track deformation wheel 4 to rotate, so that the deformation wheel ring 43 of the wheel track deformation wheel 4 revolves, while at this time, the frame body I 241 and the input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group cannot rotate, and the crawler track 44 is locked; Reference Figure 6 In the crawler track drive mode, the inner gear ring locking mechanism 12 locks the inner gear ring 11. At this time, the position of the inner gear ring 11 is locked, and the planetary carrier locking mechanism 25 unlocks the frame body II 242. The planetary carrier 24 can rotate around the axis of the input shaft 21, and the axis of the planetary gear 23 can revolve around the axis of the input shaft 21. The rotation of the input shaft 21 drives the sun gear 22 to rotate, and the sun gear 22 drives the planetary gear 23 to rotate along its axial direction and revolve around the axis of the input shaft 21, thereby driving the frame body I 241 and the input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group to rotate around the axis of the input shaft 21. The input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group drives the input end 42 of the self-rotating synchronous belt pulley group of the wheel-track deformation wheel 4 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the crawler track 44 of the wheel-track deformation wheel 4. At this time, since the position of the inner gear ring 11 is locked, the wheel frame 41 is fixed and the deformation wheel ring 43 is locked; In the adaptive driving mode, it is preferred that the adaptive driving mode is adopted when the track 44 in the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 is a quadrilateral. For example, the track 44 is used in a quadrilateral state, the inner ring gear locking mechanism 12 unlocks the inner ring gear 11, the planetary carrier locking mechanism 25 unlocks the frame body II 242, and the input shaft 21 rotates to drive the sun gear 22 to rotate. When the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 encounters an obstacle, the wheel frame fixing structure 111 and the input end drive shaft 2411 of the self-rotating synchronous pulley group adaptively distribute the torque transmission force of the sun gear 22, that is, if the rotation resistance of the track 44 is greater than the turnover resistance of the deformable wheel rim 43, the deformable wheel rim 43 rotates and the deformable wheel rim 43 rotates and moves, and if the rotation resistance of the track 44 is less than the turnover resistance of the deformable wheel rim 43, the track 44 rotates and moves, thereby realizing the adaptive deployment of the deformable wheel rim revolution drive mode and the track drive mode. In the adaptive driving mode, the off-road performance of the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 can be maximized to cope with the changing terrain scenes, and the stability and complex environment adaptability of the robot carried by the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 can be effectively improved; In the braking mode, the inner gear ring locking mechanism 12 locks the inner gear ring 11, the planet carrier locking mechanism 25 locks the frame body II 242, the input shaft 21 stops rotating, and the deformable wheel rim 43 and the track 44 are locked synchronously.

[0026] The power drive mechanism for the wheel-track deformable wheel provided by the present invention can realize both track driving and deformable wheel rim revolution driving through a rotation drive mechanism 3. Compared with the travel power device in the Chinese invention patent "CN105564148B-A deformable wheel-track-leg composite robot", it can save a rotation drive mechanism, thereby reducing costs. In addition, the power drive mechanism for the wheel-track deformable wheel can not only realize the deformable wheel rim revolution driving mode and the track driving mode, but also can perform adaptive driving modes of the deformable wheel rim revolution driving mode and the track driving mode, thereby reducing the possibility of the wheel-track deformable wheel 4 getting stuck when encountering obstacles, and can greatly improve the obstacle crossing ability of the wheel-track deformable wheel 4.

[0027] In one of the embodiments, the inner ring gear locking mechanism 12 and the planetary carrier locking mechanism 25 adopt a friction locking mechanism. With this arrangement, the locking force of the inner ring gear 11 and the planetary carrier 24 can be controlled, so that different locking damping can be achieved by adjusting the inner ring gear 11 and the planetary carrier 24, and then the priority of the deformable wheel rim revolution driving mode and the track driving mode in the adaptive driving mode can be actively controlled to realize an active dynamic adaptive driving mode.

[0028] In other embodiments, the inner gear ring locking mechanism 12 and the planet carrier locking mechanism 25 may also be fixedly locked by means of a pin or a hole.

[0031] In this embodiment, locking is achieved by combining a brake caliper with a brake disc, which is convenient and quick to control, and the locking damping can be adjusted by controlling the caliper force of the brake caliper.

[0032] In one embodiment, the frame body I 241 is also rotatably matched with the sun gear 22 and the input shaft 21; The carrier II 242 is also rotationally matched with the sun gear 22 and the input shaft 21. Such an arrangement can improve the rotation stability of the planet carrier 24. Preferably, the rotational match of the planet carrier 24 is achieved through bearings to reduce friction resistance.

In the embodiment where the brake disc II242 is provided on the frame body II242, one end of the frame body II242 passes through the through hole II113, and the brake disc II2422 is arranged at the position where the frame body II242 passes through the through hole II113, so that the brake disc II2422 cooperates with the brake caliper located on the outside of the inner gear ring 11.

[0034] In one embodiment, the inner gear ring 11 includes a wheel connecting frame 115, an inner tooth 116 and a wheel mounting frame connecting frame 117 which are fixedly connected in sequence. In this embodiment, the inner tooth 116 is a cylindrical structure, and an inner gear is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder, and the wheel connecting frame 115 and the wheel mounting frame connecting frame 117 both include an end face disc and an annular plate arranged on the outermost side of the end face disc, and the two annular plates are connected to the cylindrical wall of the inner tooth 116, so that the inner gear ring 11 can form an enclosing structure, that is, the inner gear ring 11 is not only a part of the planetary gear train, but also serves as the outer shell of the power drive mechanism for the wheel deformation wheel, and the planetary gear train is wrapped in the inner gear ring 11, so that the planetary gear train can be physically protected, and its service life and environmental adaptability can be improved; The wheel frame fixing structure 111 and the through hole I 112 are arranged on the wheel connecting frame 115 , specifically on the end face disc of the wheel connecting frame 115 ; the through hole II 113 is arranged on the wheel mounting frame connecting frame 117 , specifically on the end face disc of the wheel mounting frame connecting frame 117 .
