[0050] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Figures 1-7 A wheel assembly 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a wheel assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a wheel 1, a Mecanum wheel 2 and a plurality of motion structures 23.

[0052] Specifically, the Mecanum wheel 2 is connected to one side of the wheel 1 along its axial direction. The Mecanum wheel 2 includes a body 21 and a plurality of rollers 22. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more. The body 21 is connected to the wheel 1, and the plurality of rollers 22 are located radially outward of the body 21, and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the body 21. A plurality of motion structures 23 are respectively disposed between the body 21 and the plurality of rollers 22, and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the body 21. The plurality of motion structures 23 are movable relative to the body 21 to drive the plurality of rollers 22 to move radially relative to the body 21 along the wheel 1, so that the outer diameter of the Mecanum wheel 2 is greater than or less than the outer diameter of the wheel 1. Each motion structure 23 is used to drive the corresponding roller 22 to extend or retract radially along the body 21. That is, multiple rollers 22 are connected to the main body 21 through corresponding motion structures 23. The motion structures 23 can drive multiple rollers 22 to move relative to the main body 21, so that multiple rollers 22 can extend or retract relative to the main body 21 in the radial direction of the main body 21.

[0053] For example, in Figure 1In the example, Mecanum wheel 2 is axially opposite wheel 1. When Mecanum wheel 2 extends relative to wheel 1 such that its outer diameter is larger than that of wheel 1, Mecanum wheel 2 is in the working state. When Mecanum wheel 2 retracts relative to wheel 1 such that its outer diameter is smaller than that of wheel 1, wheel 1 is in the working state. It should be noted that Mecanum wheel 2 can achieve both extended and retracted states and can switch freely. For example, when Mecanum wheel 2 extends relative to wheel 1 such that its outer diameter is larger than that of wheel 1, wheel 1 is in a non-working state. When wheel assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, the vehicle can achieve multi-directional movement through Mecanum wheel 2. Conversely, when Mecanum wheel 2 retracts relative to wheel 1 such that its outer diameter is smaller than that of wheel 1, Mecanum wheel 2 is in a non-working state. When wheel assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, the vehicle can achieve high-speed travel, such as going straight or turning, through wheel 1.

[0054] Therefore, by setting the Mecanum wheel 2 to be able to extend or retract radially along the wheel 1, the Mecanum wheel 2 can be switched between extended and retracted states, thus realizing the switching of operation between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1. The control logic is simple. When the wheel assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, it can realize the free switching of the vehicle's driving state, enabling the vehicle to move smoothly in multiple directions, such as turning and U-turns in narrow spaces, while also achieving high-speed driving. This enriches the functionality of the wheel assembly 100 and improves the vehicle's performance.

[0055] For example, in Figure 1 In the example, rollers 22 are located on the outer periphery of the body 21, with a gap between them. Each roller 22 extends obliquely along the thickness direction of the body 21 (i.e., the axial direction of the body 21), and a portion of the outer periphery of multiple rollers 22 together constitutes the outer periphery of the Mecanum wheel 2. With this configuration, when the multiple rollers 22 extend radially relative to the body 21 along the wheel 1, they cooperate to allow the wheel assembly 100 to move in multiple directions. When the multiple rollers 22 retract radially relative to the body 21 along the wheel 1, the outer periphery of the Mecanum wheel 2 is located radially inward of the outer periphery of the wheel 1, allowing the wheel 1 to be used for forward or backward movement, thus enabling high-speed forward movement of the vehicle. Furthermore, the multiple rollers 22 can be connected to the wheel 1 via the body 21, making the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1 a single unit, which facilitates the use of the Mecanum wheel 2 and improves its stability.

[0056] For example, in Figure 1In the example, the motion structure 23 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21. The number of motion structures 23 can be the same as the number of rollers 22. Multiple motion structures 23 and multiple rollers 22 are matched one-to-one, so that each roller 22 can move relative to the wheel 1 through the corresponding motion structure 23, which is beneficial for switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1. In addition, the cooperation between multiple motion structures 23 and multiple rollers 22 improves the accuracy of the motion structure 23 driving multiple rollers 22 and reduces the mutual interference between multiple rollers 22, which is more conducive to the use of the Mecanum wheel 2 and improves the reliability of the Mecanum wheel 2. Of course, each roller 22 can also be provided with multiple motion structures 23, and multiple motion structures 23 work together to drive the movement of the roller 22. In this application, the example of multiple motion structures 23 and multiple rollers 22 being matched one-to-one is explained.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the wheel assembly 100 drives the Mecanum wheel 2 to extend or retract radially relative to the wheel 1 via the motion structure 23, thereby realizing the switching between the use of the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1. Users can select whether the Mecanum wheel 2 or the wheel 1 is in operation based on actual driving conditions, enriching the functionality of the wheel assembly 100 and improving its performance. Furthermore, the cooperation between multiple motion structures 23 and multiple rollers 22 improves the accuracy of the motion structure 23 in driving the multiple rollers 22 and reduces mutual interference between the multiple rollers 22, thus further facilitating the use of the Mecanum wheel 2 and improving its operational reliability. When the wheel assembly 100 is applied to a vehicle, it enables free switching of the vehicle's driving state, allowing the vehicle to move smoothly in multiple directions while also achieving high-speed driving, better meeting the needs of different movement directions in different situations and improving the vehicle's performance.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The main body 21 has a plurality of cavities 211 arranged circumferentially along the main body 21. At least a portion of the plurality of moving structures 23 are respectively located within the plurality of cavities 211. The aforementioned at least a portion of the moving structure 23 is adapted to move relative to the main body 21 under the actuation of the fluid within the cavity 211. That is, the fluid within the cavity 211 is adapted to propel the aforementioned at least a portion of the moving structure 23 relative to the main body 21.

[0059] For example, in Figure 3 and Figure 7In the example, multiple cavities 211 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21, and at least a portion of the multiple moving structures 23 are located within the multiple cavities 211. That is, each moving structure 23 corresponds to two cavities 211. With this arrangement, under the action of fluid such as liquid or gas within the cavity 211, the moving structure 23 can move into the cavity 211 to retract the roller 22, and the moving structure 23 can move outward from the cavity 211 to extend the roller 22. Thus, the moving structure 23 can effectively utilize the internal space of the main body 21, making the arrangement of the main body 21, moving structure 23, and roller 22 more compact, reducing the overall volume of the Mecanum wheel 2, and making it more convenient for the transportation, installation, and use of the Mecanum wheel 2.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 The roller 22 is arranged at an angle relative to the axis of the main body 21, such as the central axis. Each motion structure 23 includes a first motion structure 231 and a second motion structure 232. The first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 are respectively connected to the two ends of the roller 22. Each roller 22 can extend or retract relative to the main body 21 through the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232.

[0061] For example, combining Figure 1 and Figure 5 Each roller 22 extends obliquely along the thickness direction (i.e., the axial direction of the body 21) of the main body 21. The first motion structure 231 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21 and close to one side of the thickness direction of the main body 21. The first motion structure 231 is located between one end of the main body 21 and the corresponding roller 22. The second motion structure 232 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21 and close to the other side of the thickness direction of the main body 21. The second motion structure 232 is located between the other end of the main body 21 and the corresponding roller 22. Each roller 22 can extend or retract relative to the main body 21 through the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232.

[0062] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 5In the example, each roller 22 extends along the thickness direction of the main body 21. The first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 are located on both sides of the thickness direction of the main body 21, respectively. Each roller 22 is connected to the main body 21 through the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232, and the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 work together on the corresponding roller 22 to make the roller 22 movable relative to the wheel 1. Thus, through the combined action of the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232, the extension and retraction stability and reliability of the roller 22 are improved, thereby improving the reliability of the Mecanum wheel 2. The motion structure 23 has a simple structure and is easy to use. It is beneficial for the use of multiple rollers 22, which can reduce the cost of using the wheel 1 and improve the performance of the wheel 1. It should be noted that the structures of the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 can be set to be the same, which is beneficial for the production and processing of the motion structure 23, improves the production efficiency of the motion structure 23, and thus improves the production efficiency of the wheel 1.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The cavity 211 has a first opening 2111 and a second opening 2112 formed on its sidewall. The first opening 2111 is located on the side of the second opening 2112 away from the central axis of the main body 21. The first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 respectively include a support rod 2311 and a piston 2312. In the example of this application, the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 have the same structure, which is beneficial to the mass production of the motion structure 23 and can also reduce the misassembly of the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232. Of course, the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232 can also be different, as long as they work together to drive the corresponding roller 22 to move. Specifically, this application uses the first motion structure 231 as an example for explanation.

[0064] Combination Figures 5-7 Roller 22 is rotatably connected to one end of support rod 2311, and the other end of support rod 2311 extends into the corresponding cavity 211. Piston 2312 is connected to the other end of support rod 2311 and is movablely engaged in the corresponding cavity 211 to drive the corresponding roller 22 to extend or retract relative to the main body 21. Piston 2312 divides the interior of cavity 211 into a first cavity 2113 and a second cavity 2114. The first opening 2111 communicates with the first cavity 2113, and the second opening 2112 communicates with the second cavity 2114.

[0065] For example, in Figures 5-7In the example, the upper end of the support rod 2311 is rotatably connected to the roller 22. The support rod 2311 of the first motion structure 231 and the support rod 2311 of the second motion structure 232 can be respectively located at both ends of the axial direction of the roller 22. The lower end of the support rod 2311 extends into the corresponding cavity 211. The piston 2312 is connected to the lower end of the support rod 2311 and is movable along the extension direction of the cavity 211. The first cavity 2113 and the second cavity 2114 are not connected to each other. The first cavity 2113 is located on the side of the second cavity 2114 near the edge of the main body 21. When the wheel assembly 100 is connected to the hydraulic mechanism 200, the first pipe 201 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 can be connected to the first cavity 2113 through the first opening 2111, and the second pipe 202 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 can be connected to the second cavity 2114 through the second opening 2112.

[0066] Combination Figure 7 When the hydraulic mechanism 200 increases the pressure in the first cavity 2113 through the first pipeline 201, the piston 2312 located in the cavity 211 moves toward the center of the main body 21 under the action of the above pressure. During the movement of the piston 2312, the volume of the first cavity 2113 increases, while the volume of the second cavity 2114 decreases. The movement of the piston 2312 drives the support rod 2311 to move toward the cavity 211 to drive the corresponding roller 22 to retract, so that the outer diameter of the Mecanum wheel 2 is smaller than the outer diameter of the wheel 1, thereby realizing the switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1. When the hydraulic mechanism 200 increases the pressure in the second cavity 2114 through the second pipeline 202, the piston 2312 located in the cavity 211 moves away from the center of the main body 21 under the action of the above pressure. As the piston 2312 moves to the side where the first cavity 2113 is located, the volume of the first cavity 2113 decreases, while the volume of the second cavity 2114 increases. The piston 2312 rod drives the support rod 2311 to move away from the center of the main body 21 to drive the roller 22 to extend, so that the outer diameter of the Mecanum wheel 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the wheel 1. Multiple rollers 22 are in contact with the ground, and the outer circumference of the wheel 1 is off the ground, thereby realizing the switching between the wheel 1 and the Mecanum wheel 2.

[0067] This configuration simplifies the structure of the first motion structure 231 and the second motion structure 232, making them easier to manufacture and reducing production costs. This benefits the manufacturing of the motion structure 23 and lowers the production cost of the wheel assembly 100. Furthermore, by changing the pressure within the first cavity 2113 and the second cavity 2114, the piston 2312 moves within the cavity 211 to extend or retract the corresponding roller 22. This simplifies the drive mechanism and control logic, facilitating rapid switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1, and also benefits the long-term use of the wheel assembly 100. Additionally, the cavity 211 guides the movement of the piston 2312, improving the reliability of the movement of the piston 2312 and the support rod 2311, thereby improving the reliability of the extension and retraction of the roller 22, and ultimately enhancing the performance and reliability of the wheel assembly 100.

[0068] Optionally, the piston 2312 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the other end of the support rod 2311, and the piston 2312 is threadedly connected to the other end of the support rod 2311. This arrangement facilitates the installation and disassembly of the piston 2312 and the support rod 2311, improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the piston 2312 and the support rod 2311.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, each cavity 211 has an opening 2115, which is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 21. An end cap 2116 is provided at the opening 2115. The other end of the support rod 2311 extends into the cavity 211 through the corresponding end cap 2116. The support rod 2311 is movable relative to the end cap 2116 along the axial direction of the support rod 2311.

[0070] For example, in Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the example, the end cap 2116 can also be fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the support rod 2311. The connection between the moving structure 23 and the main body 21 is achieved by installing the end cap 2116 at the opening 2115. The end cap 2116 can be threaded onto the opening 2115 for easy installation. Furthermore, the end cap 2116 limits the piston 2312, preventing it from moving from the cavity 211 to the outside of the main body 21, thereby restricting the radial movement range of the support rod 2311 within the main body 21 and improving the reliability of the Mecanum wheel 2. In addition, the end cap 2116 is detachably connected to the main body 21. When the end cap 2116 is removed from the main body 21, the piston 2312 and the support rod 2311 can be taken out from the cavity 211 to facilitate the replacement of the piston 2312, the support rod 2311 and the roller 22, thereby extending the service life of the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel assembly 100.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support rod 2311 has a connecting portion 2313. Each roller 22 has a first roller shaft 221 at one end. The first roller shaft 221 passes through the connecting portion 2313 of the support rod 2311 of the corresponding first motion structure 231 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded fastener 233. Each roller 22 has a second roller shaft 222 at the other end. The second roller shaft 222 passes through the connecting portion 2313 of the support rod 2311 of the corresponding second motion structure 232 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded fastener.

[0072] For example, in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the example, each support rod 2311 has a connecting portion 2313 at the end away from the piston 2312, through which the support rod 2311 is rotatably connected to the roller 22. The roller 22 has a first roller shaft 221 and a second roller shaft 222 at its two axial ends, respectively, with the central axis of the first roller shaft 221, the central axis of the second roller shaft 222, and the central axis of the roller 22 coinciding. A through hole 2314 is formed on the connecting part 2313. The first roller shaft 221 passes through the through hole 2314 on the corresponding connecting part 2313 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded fastener 233. The second roller shaft 222 passes through the through hole 2314 on the connecting part 2313 of the support rod 2311 of the corresponding second motion structure 232 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded fastener. Thus, the roller 22 achieves a rotatable connection with the support rod 2311 through the first roller shaft 221 and the second roller shaft 222. The first threaded fastener 233 and the second threaded fastener ensure a firm connection between the roller 22 and the support rod 2311, making it less likely for the roller 22 to fall off the corresponding support rod 2311, improving the reliability of the roller 22 and further improving the reliability of the Mecanum wheel 2. In addition, the installation and operation of the first threaded fastener 233 and the first roller shaft 221 are simple and convenient, and the operating cost is also low.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 7The main body 21 has independent first flow channels 212 and second flow channels 213. The first flow channels 212 are connected to the first openings 2111 of multiple cavities 211, and the second flow channels 213 are connected to the second openings 2112 of multiple cavities 211. For example, the first pipe 201 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 is connected to the first cavity 2113 of the multiple cavities 211 through the first flow channel 212, and the second pipe 202 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 is connected to the second cavity 2114 of the multiple cavities 211 through the second flow channel 213. Thus, by setting the first flow channels 212 and second flow channels 213, the pressure of the first cavity 2113 and the second cavity 2114 can be changed by the hydraulic mechanism 200, thereby enabling the piston 2312 to drive the roller 22 to move. Furthermore, by connecting the first flow channel 212 to the first opening 2111 of the multiple cavities 211 and the second flow channel 213 to the second opening 2112 of the multiple cavities 211, the synchronous movement of the multiple rollers 22 can be achieved, thereby ensuring that the multiple rollers 22 extend and retract at the same time, thus ensuring the reliability of the movement of the multiple rollers 22.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main body 21 includes a cylinder 214 and a slip ring 215. A roller 22 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 214. A through hole 2141 is formed on the cylinder 214, penetrating both axial sides of the cylinder 214. The slip ring 215 fits within the through hole 2141. The slip ring 215 includes a first slip ring 2151 and a second slip ring 2153. The first slip ring 2151 fits between the second slip ring 2153 and the cylinder 214. The second slip ring 2153 is rotatable relative to the first slip ring 2151. For example, in... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the example, the cylinder 214 is annular, the slip ring 215 is located radially inside the cylinder 214, and the second slip ring 2153 is located radially inside the first slip ring 2151. The central axis of the cylinder 214, the central axis of the first slip ring 2151, and the central axis of the second slip ring 2153 overlap. The hydraulic mechanism 200 is connected to the main body 21 through the second slip ring 2153. When the multiple rollers 22 rotate, the cylinder 214 and the first slip ring 2151 can rotate relative to the second slip ring 2153, thereby improving the smoothness of the Mecanum wheel 2's movement and making it more convenient for the use of the Mecanum wheel 2. In addition, the assembly operation of the cylinder 214 and the slip ring 215 is simple, improving the assembly efficiency of the main body 21. In addition, the cylinder body 214 and the first slip ring 2151 are rotatable relative to the second slip ring 2153. That is to say, the rotation of the cylinder body 214 will not affect the hydraulic mechanism 200 connected to the second slip ring 2153, which is beneficial to the coordinated use of the hydraulic mechanism 200 and the wheel assembly 100.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 4 The first slip ring 2151 has a positioning protrusion 2152 on its outer peripheral surface, and a positioning groove (not shown) is formed on the side wall of the through hole 2141. The positioning protrusion 2152 fits into the positioning groove. For example, in Figure 4 In the example, the positioning protrusion 2152 extends axially along the first slip ring 2151, and the positioning groove extends axially along the cylinder body 214. The outer wall of the positioning protrusion 2152 fits against the inner wall of the positioning groove. Thus, through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 2152 and the positioning groove, on the one hand, the cylinder body 214 can position the first slip ring 2151 through the positioning groove, which facilitates the rapid assembly of the cylinder body 214 and the slip ring 2151, improves assembly efficiency, and also improves the positioning accuracy. On the other hand, the positioning groove can restrict the movement of the first slip ring 2151 relative to the cylinder body 214, so that the first slip ring 2151 and the cylinder body 214 are connected as a whole.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 4 The slip ring 215 further includes a plurality of bearings 2154 and a plurality of limiting members 2155. The bearings 2154 are disposed between the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153, the plurality of bearings 2154 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first slip ring 2151, and the plurality of limiting members 2155 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second slip ring 2153 along the axial direction, with the plurality of bearings 2154 located between the plurality of limiting members 2155.

[0077] For example, in Figure 4 In the example, slip ring 215 is provided with two bearings 2154, both of which are sleeved on the outer periphery of the second slip ring 2153. The two bearings 2154 are respectively located near the two axial ends of the second slip ring 2153. This allows for smoother relative rotation between the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153, thus facilitating the use of slip ring 215. Figure 4 As shown, the second slip ring 2153 is provided with two limiting members 2155, which are respectively located at both ends of the second slip ring 2153 and on opposite sides of the two bearings 2154. Therefore, the limiting members 2155 restrict the relative movement of the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153 along the axial direction of the second slip ring 2153, and also prevent the first slip ring 2151 from separating from the second slip ring 2153 during rotation, thus ensuring the reliability of the rotation of the first slip ring 2151 relative to the second slip ring 2153.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 7The first flow channel 212 includes a first sub-flow channel 2121, a second sub-flow channel 2122, a third sub-flow channel 2123, a first annular flow channel 2124, and a fourth sub-flow channel 2125. The first sub-flow channel 2121 and the second sub-flow channel 2122 are formed on the cylinder block 214. The first sub-flow channel 2121 communicates with the first openings 2111 of multiple cavities 211, and extends circumferentially along the cylinder block 214. One end of the second sub-flow channel 2122 communicates with the first sub-flow channel 2121. The other end extends radially along the cylinder body 214 to the side wall of the through hole 2141. The third sub-flow channel 2123 is formed on the first slip ring 2151. One end of the third sub-flow channel 2123 is connected to the other end of the second sub-flow channel 2122. The outer peripheral surface of the second slip ring 2153 and the inner wall surface of the first slip ring 2151 together define the first annular flow channel 2124. The fourth sub-flow channel 2125 is formed on the second slip ring 2153. The fourth sub-flow channel 2125 is connected to the third sub-flow channel 2123 through the first annular flow channel 2124.

[0079] For example, in Figure 7 In the example, one end of the first pipe 201 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 is connected to the hydraulic mechanism 200, and the other end of the first pipe 201 is connected to the fourth sub-channel 2125. That is, the other end of the first pipe 201 can be connected to the first cavity 2113 of the plurality of cavities 211 through the fourth sub-channel 2125, the first annular channel 2124, the third sub-channel 2123, the second sub-channel 2122, and the first sub-channel 2121, respectively. The end of the third sub-channel 2123 away from the second slip ring 2153 is radially opposite to the second sub-channel 2122 along the slip ring 215, so that the fluid, such as gas or liquid, in the third sub-channel 2123 flows into the second sub-channel 2122, thereby realizing the connection between the first pipe 201 and the plurality of first cavities 2113. Therefore, the layout of the first sub-channel 2121, the second sub-channel 2122, the third sub-channel 2123, the first annular channel 2124, and the fourth sub-channel 2125 is reasonable, and the number of channels formed on the main body 21 is small, thus achieving the switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1 with a simple structure. In addition, by setting the first annular channel 2124, when the first slip ring 2151 rotates relative to the second slip ring 2153, the third sub-channel 2123 and the fourth sub-channel 2125 can always remain connected, thereby ensuring the connection of the first channel 212, further improving the reliability of the cooperation between the main body 21 and the roller 22, and also ensuring the normal use of the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153.

[0080] Combination Figure 7The second flow channel 213 includes a fifth sub-flow channel 2131, a sixth sub-flow channel 2132, a seventh sub-flow channel 2133, a second annular flow channel 2134, and an eighth sub-flow channel 2135. The fifth sub-flow channel 2131 and the sixth sub-flow channel 2132 are formed on the cylinder block 214. The fifth sub-flow channel 2131 communicates with the second openings 2112 of multiple cavities 211, extending circumferentially along the cylinder block 214. One end of the sixth sub-flow channel 2132 communicates with the fifth sub-flow channel 2131. The sixth sub-flow channel 2132... The other end extends radially along the cylinder body 214 to the side wall of the through hole 2141. The seventh sub-flow channel 2133 is formed on the first slip ring 2151. One end of the seventh sub-flow channel 2133 is connected to the other end of the sixth sub-flow channel 2132. The outer peripheral surface of the second slip ring 2153 and the inner wall surface of the first slip ring 2151 together define the second annular flow channel 2134. The eighth sub-flow channel 2135 is formed on the second slip ring 2153. The eighth sub-flow channel 2135 is connected to the seventh sub-flow channel 2133 through the second annular flow channel 2134.

[0081] For example, in Figure 7 In the example, one end of the second pipe 202 of the hydraulic mechanism 200 is connected to the hydraulic mechanism 200, and the other end of the second pipe 202 is connected to the eighth sub-channel 2135. That is, the other end of the second pipe 202 can be connected to the second cavity 2114 of the multiple cavities 211 respectively through the eighth sub-channel 2135, the second annular channel 2134, the seventh sub-channel 2133, the sixth sub-channel 2132, and the fifth sub-channel 2131. The end of the seventh sub-channel 2133 away from the second slip ring 2153 is radially opposite to the sixth sub-channel 2132 along the slip ring 215, so that the fluid, such as gas or liquid, in the seventh sub-channel 2133 flows into the sixth sub-channel 2132, thereby realizing the connection between the second pipe 202 and the multiple second cavities 2114. Therefore, the layout of the fifth sub-channel 2131, the sixth sub-channel 2132, the seventh sub-channel 2133, the second annular channel 2134, and the eighth sub-channel 2135 is reasonable, and the number of channels formed on the main body 21 is small, thus achieving the switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1 with a simple structure. In addition, by setting the second annular channel 2134, when the first slip ring 2151 rotates relative to the second slip ring 2153, the seventh sub-channel 2133 and the eighth sub-channel 2135 can always remain connected, thereby ensuring the connection of the second channel 213, further improving the reliability of the cooperation between the main body 21 and the roller 22, and also ensuring the normal use of the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153.

[0082] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a first seal 2156 is provided between the first annular flow channel 2124 and the bearing 2154 adjacent to the first annular flow channel 2124 among the plurality of bearings 2154. And / or, a second seal 2157 is provided between the first annular flow channel 2124 and the second annular flow channel 2134. And / or, a third seal 2158 is provided between the second annular flow channel 2134 and the bearing 2154 adjacent to the second annular flow channel 2134 among the plurality of bearings 2154.

[0083] For example, in Figure 4 In the example, a first seal 2156, a second seal 2157, and a third seal 2158 are provided between the second slip ring 2153 and the first slip ring 2151. The first seal 2156, the second seal 2157, and the third seal 2158 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the second slip ring 2153. For example, the first seal 2156, the second seal 2157, and the third seal 2158 are respectively provided on the outer circumferential surface of the second slip ring 2153. The first seal 2156 is located between the bearing 2154 on the left and the first annular flow channel 2124, the second seal 2157 is located between the first annular flow channel 2124 and the second annular flow channel 2134, and the third seal 2158 is located between the second annular flow channel 2134 and the bearing 2154 on the right.

[0084] With this configuration, the first seal 2156 and the second seal 2157 can fill the gap between the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153, preventing fluid in the first annular flow channel 2124 from flowing between the first slip ring 2151 and the second slip ring 2153, or even into the second annular flow channel 2134. This improves the sealing performance of the first annular flow channel 2124 and also reduces the likelihood of mutual interference between the first annular flow channel 2124 and the second annular flow channel 2134. The second seal 2157 and the third seal 2158 can prevent fluid in the second annular flow channel 2134 from flowing into the first annular flow channel 2124 or the bearing 2154 adjacent to the second annular flow channel 2134, thereby improving the sealing performance of the second annular flow channel 2134. This is more conducive to the normal use of the slip ring 215 and enhances its performance.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 7 The first sub-flow channel 2121 and the fifth sub-flow channel 2131 are arranged radially spaced along the cylinder block 214, with the fifth sub-flow channel 2131 located radially inside the first sub-flow channel 2121. And / or, the second sub-flow channel 2122 and the sixth sub-flow channel 2132 are arranged axially spaced along the cylinder block 214. And / or, the third sub-flow channel 2123 and the seventh sub-flow channel 2133 are arranged axially spaced along the first slip ring 2151. And / or, the fourth sub-flow channel 2125 and the eighth sub-flow channel 2135 are arranged axially spaced along the second slip ring 2153.

[0086] For example, in Figure 7 In the example, the first sub-flow channel 2121 is formed on the side of the fifth sub-flow channel 2131 near the edge of the cylinder block 214. The second sub-flow channel 2122 and the third sub-flow channel 2123 are located on the same radial line, and the sixth sub-flow channel 2132 and the seventh sub-flow channel 2133 are also located on the same radial line. This arrangement provides a reasonable layout for the first and fifth sub-flow channels 2121 and 2131, the second and sixth sub-flow channels 2122 and 2132, the third and seventh sub-flow channels 2123, and the fourth and eighth sub-flow channels 2125, reducing mutual interference between the channels. Furthermore, the structures of the first sub-flow channel 2121 and the fifth sub-flow channel 2131, the second sub-flow channel 2122 and the sixth sub-flow channel 2132, the third sub-flow channel 2123 and the seventh sub-flow channel 2133, as well as the fourth sub-flow channel 2125 and the eighth sub-flow channel 2135 have been simplified, which facilitates production and processing and shortens the fluid flow path, thereby facilitating the coordinated use of the wheel assembly 100 and the hydraulic mechanism 200.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in combination Figure 1 The cylinder block 214 of the Mecanum wheel 2 is connected to the hub 11 of the wheel 1. For example, the central axis of the Mecanum wheel 2 overlaps with the central axis of the wheel 1. Thus, the Mecanum wheel 2 is integrated with the wheel 1 through the connection between the cylinder block 214 and the hub 11, improving the overall performance of the wheel assembly 100, facilitating the switching between the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1, and enhancing the stability of the use of the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1, which is beneficial for the long-term stable use of the wheel assembly 100.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cylinder body 214 has a plurality of first mounting holes 2142, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder body 214. The wheel hub 11 has a plurality of second mounting holes 111, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the wheel hub 11. The plurality of second mounting holes 111 are respectively opposite to the plurality of first mounting holes 2142 along the axial direction of the wheel 1. The wheel assembly 100 further includes a plurality of fasteners (not shown in the figure), which are threaded through the plurality of first mounting holes 2142 and connected to the corresponding second mounting holes 111.

[0089] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2In the example, six first mounting holes 2142 are formed on the cylinder body 214. These six first mounting holes 2142 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the cylinder body 214 and penetrate both sides of the cylinder body 214 in the thickness direction. Six second mounting holes 111 are formed on the wheel hub 11. These six second mounting holes 111 are spaced along the circumference of the wheel hub 11 and correspond one-to-one with the six first mounting holes 2142. Multiple fasteners pass through the first mounting holes 2142 and engage with the corresponding second mounting holes 111 to connect the cylinder body 214 to the wheel hub 11, thereby fixing the Mecanum wheel 2 to the wheel 1, making the Mecanum wheel 2 and the wheel 1 a single unit. Furthermore, the connection method is simple, and the installation and removal of the wheel assembly 100 are convenient, improving installation and removal efficiency. It should be noted that the number and arrangement of the first mounting hole 2142, the second mounting hole 111, and the fasteners can be set according to the specific use to better meet the actual application.

[0090] A vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a wheel assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0091] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned wheel assembly 100, the vehicle can realize the functions of Mecanum wheel 2 (diagonal driving, U-turn, lateral movement, etc.). When the wheel 1 is working, the outer diameter of the Mecanum wheel 2 is contracted by the hydraulic mechanism 200, and its roller 22 does not contact the ground. The outer peripheral surface of the wheel 1 contacts the ground, so that the vehicle can drive normally on ordinary urban roads, thereby improving the performance of the vehicle.
