Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a Mecanum wheel for a sorting and transfer device. Background Art
[0002] At present, in a logistics conveying system, paired Mecanum wheels can achieve omnidirectional movement of materials. However, in the existing design structure, the strength of the wheel skeleton is relatively low, resulting in the shedding of small wheels; the wear resistance of the rolling small wheel material is relatively poor, resulting in a low service life; the hexagonal shaft matched with the hexagonal hole of the wheel is difficult to process and has a low deflection, and the straightness cannot be guaranteed. In order to solve the above problems, improve the strength of the skeleton structure, improve the wear resistance and service life of the rolling small wheel, and reduce the processing difficulty of the shaft parts matched with it, it is particularly necessary to develop a Mecanum wheel for a sorting and transfer device.

[0006] Wherein the main skeleton (1) and the sub-skeleton (3) are of an overall skeleton circumferential structure (11), which can ensure relatively high structural strength; rolling wheel installation support platforms (13) are processed on the main skeleton (1) and the sub-skeleton (3), and rolling wheel installation holes (12) inclined at 45 degrees to the axial plane and the radial plane respectively are processed thereon to install six rolling small wheels (2); at the same time, skeleton weight-reducing holes (32) are also processed thereon to reduce the structural weight; the materials of the main skeleton (1) and the sub-skeleton (3) are nylon materials to ensure the structural strength, and the roller rubber coating (22) of the rolling small wheel (2) is made of TPU material, which can improve the wear resistance of the roller.
[0007] Wherein the rolling small wheel (2) is composed of a roller shaft (21) and a roller rubber coating (22), wherein the roller shaft (21) is made of structural steel and is embedded into the central axis of the roller rubber coating (22) by a die-casting process as a mandrel, and the outer surface of the roller rubber coating (22) presents a spindle shape with thin ends and thick middle, and anti-slip patterns are processed on the surface.
[0008] Among them, the main skeleton (1) is processed with self-tapping screw mounting holes (14), and the auxiliary skeleton (3) is processed with screw through holes (31). The self-tapping screw (4) passes through the screw through hole (31) and drills into the self-tapping screw mounting hole (14) of the main skeleton (1) through the thread on the self-tapping screw (4), so as to form threads in the hole, thereby realizing high-strength connection.
[0009] In the sorting and transfer equipment, the Mecanum wheels need to be used in pairs, and the main skeleton (1) and the auxiliary skeleton (3) of the other Mecanum wheel paired with it are the mirror images of the structure in the current drawing.
