Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of walking bases, in particular to a walking base with stable walking performance. Background Art

[0002] The crawler-type walking base is a traditional walking device, which has excellent tractability, passability and stability. It is still a basic form of walking device so far. Due to its high adaptability to complex road conditions, the crawler-type walking vehicle is widely used in rugged mountain roads, disaster relief, agricultural work and engineering construction and other fields. The existing crawler-type walking base usually adopts a structure similar to a trapezoid, with the side close to the ground being shorter and the side far from the ground being longer. In this structure, the contact area between the crawler and the ground is small, and the crawler is prone to dislocation during walking, resulting in unstable forward operation. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the utility model proposes a walking base with stable walking performance. It solves the technical problem that the existing crawler-type walking base has a small contact area with the ground and unstable forward operation.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A walking base with stable walking performance, comprising a frame, a driving wheel rotatably arranged on the frame, a driving device for driving the driving wheel to rotate, a guiding wheel rotatably arranged on the frame, and a crawler covering the driving wheel and the guiding wheel. The crawler includes a top, a bottom, a front part and a rear part. The front part and the rear part are inclined. The upper end of the front part is inclined towards the front end direction, and the upper end of the rear part is inclined towards the front end direction.

[0006] Furthermore:

[0007] At least two positioning wheel mechanisms and at least one set of floating wheel mechanisms are arranged on the frame. Two of the positioning wheel mechanisms are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the bottom, and the floating wheel mechanism is arranged between the two positioning wheel mechanisms at the front and rear ends.

[0008] The floating wheel mechanism includes a first seat body connected to the frame through a connecting member, and at least two floating wheels rotatably connected to the first seat body. The two floating wheels are respectively located on both sides of the connecting member.

[0009] The number of floating wheels in each set of floating wheel mechanisms is two. The connecting member is arranged above the floating wheels, and the connecting member and the two floating wheels form a triangular structure.

[0010] The distance between the connecting member and the floating wheel close to the outside is less than the distance between the connecting member and the floating wheel close to the inside.

[0011] The positioning wheel mechanism includes a second seat body fixed to the frame and a positioning wheel rotatably provided on the second seat body.

[0012] A bracket is provided on the frame, one end of the bracket is inclined downward, and the guide wheel is rotatably provided at the downward inclined end of the bracket.

[0013] A tensioning device is provided between the frame and the bracket. The tensioning device includes a sliding rod connected to the other end of the bracket, a spring provided on the outer surface of the sliding rod, a abutting member provided on the frame, and a sliding groove provided on the abutting member. The sliding rod is inserted into the sliding groove and can slide along the sliding groove. One end of the spring abuts against the bracket, and the other end of the spring abuts against the abutting member.

[0014] A card slot is provided on the inner surface of the crawler belt. The driving wheel and the guide wheel are clamped in the card slot, and the driving wheel and the guide wheel rotate in the card slot during walking.

[0015] At least a pair of support wheels are rotatably provided at the top end of the frame. The support wheels can abut against the crawler belt, and one pair of support wheels abuts against the bent position of the crawler belt.

[0016] By adopting the foregoing technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] The front and rear parts of the crawler belt of the present utility model are inclined. The upper ends of the front and rear parts are inclined towards the front end direction. The lower part of the front is suspended, which can cross obstacles and climb slopes. Compared with the traditional trapezoidal structure with a longer upper part and a shorter lower part, the structure of the rear part can increase the contact area between the crawler belt and the ground, making it more stable during walking and easier to adapt to various complex terrains, such as rough, muddy or loose terrains, and can also reduce crawler belt wear and extend the service life; further, the positioning wheel mechanisms at the front and rear ends can provide better grip and stability to adapt to different road conditions, and the middle floating wheel mechanism forms a more stable support, enhancing the overall stiffness and bearing capacity; further, the connecting member and the two floating wheels form a triangular structure, which is not easy to deform and is more stable during walking; further, the distance between the connecting member and the floating wheel closer to the outside is less than the distance between the connecting member and the floating wheel closer to the inside. In this structure, the floating wheel on the outside floats less and is more stable during walking; further, the tensioning device plays a good limiting and supporting role for the guide wheel. When the guide wheel is loose, it will squeeze the spring, and after the spring restores, it will push the bracket to make the guide wheel fit with the crawler belt again, avoiding the situation of crawler belt detachment and deviation; further, the driving wheel and the guide wheel rotate in the card slot during walking, preventing the driving wheel and the guide wheel from falling off and deviating; further, the overall stability is enhanced by the support wheels, and the crawler belt maintains its shape.
