Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robot application, and in particular relates to a variable configuration balancing vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of robotics, people's expectations for the functions of robots are also increasing. Especially in the field of humanoid robots, researchers have been committed to making robots closer to human athletic ability and environmental adaptability. Balance vehicles are a mobile device that can control itself and maintain balance. They are an important branch of wheeled robot research. This type of robot can achieve upright driving through its own control and has shown wide application potential in many fields. The development of balance vehicles not only solves the needs of short-distance travel in cities, but also helps to protect the environment and save energy, promote physical health, commercial applications, and adapt to future development trends.
[0003] Although traditional two-wheeled balancing vehicles have achieved this goal to a certain extent, due to their fixed structure and form, they often seem powerless in scenes with complex terrain or changing environments. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN111907615A provides a 7DOF two-wheeled multi-posture robot, including a vehicle body, a left wheel, a right wheel, a pair of wheel power mechanisms, and a pair of wheel steering mechanisms; the pair of wheel power mechanisms and the pair of wheel steering mechanisms are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle body, respectively, and the pair of wheel power mechanisms can be fixedly connected to the left wheel and the right wheel respectively and drive them to move, and the wheel steering mechanisms control the steering of the left wheel and the right wheel respectively, so that the left wheel and the right wheel can realize coaxial balancing vehicle-style movement, and can also realize two-wheel plane parallel bicycle-style movement; it has 7 degrees of freedom of movement and can perform steering at multiple angles, but its requirements for the running road surface in actual application are relatively high, and it can only adapt to flat roads, and it is difficult to adapt to rugged and multi-obstacle steep slopes or uneven and multi-obstacle roads. Another example is the Chinese patent with publication number CN204323601U, which provides an intelligent guided electric balance vehicle and its guided system. The balance vehicle is provided with a joystick on the vehicle body, and the joystick includes a handle and a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the vehicle body. Each component or device on the joystick can be powered by a power supply provided on the joystick or by a power supply provided on the vehicle body, and the intelligent control function of the balance vehicle is added. However, the design of the joystick does not produce a more optimized transformation of the wheels, and can only be adapted to places with relatively flat roads such as scenic spots, museums, exhibition halls, and libraries. However, in some special geographical environments, such as rugged and steep slopes with many obstacles, and uneven and bumpy roads with many obstacles, the balance vehicle still faces considerable challenges, and its application scope is greatly limited.
