Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of driving carts, in particular to an electric driving cart with mechanical steering. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the progress of technology and the innovation of education methods, various engineering practice innovation competitions have become increasingly popular among students and teachers. These competitions can not only stimulate students' creativity and practical ability, but also promote their learning and mastery of professional knowledge in practice. Among many competition projects, the design and manufacture of electric driving carts is a very popular theme. Such carts usually need to automatically drive along a preset route and complete specific tasks, such as bypassing obstacles.

[0003] Currently, most of the electric driving carts in the competition works adopt a split structure, that is, each functional component (such as a motor, a controller, a sensor, etc.) is independently installed on the vehicle body. Although this design provides high flexibility, it also brings some problems. First of all, since each component needs to be installed and adjusted separately, the assembly process is relatively cumbersome and prone to deviation. In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the cart, precise calibration of each component is required, which often takes a lot of time and effort. Moreover, the independently installed components may become loose or displaced during long-term operation or when encountering bumpy road conditions, thus affecting the overall performance of the cart. Content of the Utility Model
