Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of robot equipment, and in particular relates to a deformable driving wheel set for a robot. Background Art

[0002] In operational scenarios such as reconnaissance, detection, and combat, robots need to face structural or unstructured ground environments simultaneously or in different time periods. These complex ground environments include artificially constructed structural steps, stairs, trenches, and other terrains, as well as messy terrains formed after disasters or wars, and some environments have narrow spaces. For example, on structured roads such as paving, robots need to pass quickly, with low resistance and high speed to transport load equipment to the destination or carry loads to complete operations; on unstructured roads such as mud, bumps, and gullies, robots need to pass smoothly and usually need to have high-performance and highly reliable climbing and obstacle-crossing capabilities. The above-mentioned operational scenarios are mainly for ground operations, but in actual application requirements, robots are also required to have the ability to work in multiple conditions, such as "going up to the sky" and "going down to the sea." In a typical scenario, such as in the field of military reconnaissance, after the robot is released from a drone or fighter jet, it needs to turn on the "air exploration mode"; after slowly descending to the ground, turn on the "high-speed flat ground advancement" mode to quickly approach the reconnaissance on a flat road; after reaching a specific mudflat, turn on the "high obstacle travel" mode to achieve climbing over complex unstructured ground; after crossing the mudflat area, start to enter the water surface or dive underwater to carry out operations.

[0003] To realize the mobile operation function under multi-habitat conditions, the current mainstream or public technical means are as follows:

An impeller system that can rotate with the wheels is arranged on both sides of the center of the wheel body. The impeller system's multi-layered sheet-like expandable blades can be orderly expanded and closed as the impeller rotates to different phases. When traveling on the water surface, they can be opened to increase the propulsion efficiency. When traveling on land, they can be expanded when contacting obstacles on non-structural ground, thereby improving the robot's obstacle crossing ability.

The output end of the power motor is connected to the wheel-propeller module to drive the wheel-propeller module forward or backward.

7. The deformable driving wheel set for a robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The wheel-paddle module at least includes a wheel frame, a plurality of wheel bodies connected to the wheel frame and used to achieve rapid movement, and a deformation mechanism for transforming the configuration of the wheel bodies. Each wheel body is provided with a paddle body for achieving propulsion in water. The deformation mechanism is meshingly connected to the wheel body, and the deformation mechanism drives the wheel body to rotate to achieve wheel-claw configuration transformation.

8. The deformable driving wheel set for a robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The skeleton is used to install the deformable driving wheel set on the robot body.

9. The deformable driving wheel set for a robot according to claim 1, characterized in that: The modal transmission module is a gear rack structure or a telescopic cylinder structure, and drives the power module and the wheel-propeller module to flip vertically through the modal flip module.
