DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a shock-absorbing differential wheel, including a base frame 1, a first differential wheel 2 and a second differential wheel 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the base frame 1, a first driving mechanism 4 for driving the first differential wheel 2 to rotate and a second driving mechanism 5 for driving the second differential wheel 3 to rotate are respectively provided on the base frame 1, and further includes a supporting plate 6, a rotating driving mechanism for driving the supporting plate 6 to perform rotational motion is provided at the bottom of the supporting plate 6, and further includes a shock-absorbing frame 7 arranged between the rotating driving mechanism and the base frame 1.

[0020] Specifically, the supporting plate 6 in this structure is used to support the body of the trolley. When the trolley is in the process of turning, the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 5 respectively drive the first differential wheel 2 and the second differential wheel 3 to rotate, so that the speeds of the first differential wheel 2 and the second differential wheel 3 are different, so that the trolley can turn smoothly. When the road is unstable, due to the setting of the shock absorber frame 7, the shock absorbing effect of the supporting plate 6 can be achieved, thereby ensuring the stability of the trolley during travel. At the same time, when it is necessary to drive the supporting plate 6 to turn, the rotating drive mechanism drives the supporting plate 6 to rotate, which can drive the trolley body installed on the supporting plate 6 to rotate.

[0021] In this structure, the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 5 are provided to realize differential control of the first differential wheel 2 and the second differential wheel 3, thereby achieving the stability of the trolley in turning. At the same time, in this structure, the shock-absorbing frame 7 is provided to achieve 360-degree elastic shock absorption of the load-bearing plate 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the trolley during travel.

[0022] In this embodiment, the shock absorber frame 7 includes an upper mounting plate 71 connected to the rotation drive mechanism and a lower mounting plate 72 connected to the base frame 1, and a plurality of elastic mechanisms are arranged between the upper mounting plate 71 and the lower mounting plate 72, and the corresponding two sides of the lower mounting plate 72 are respectively installed with a first bearing frame 73 and a second bearing frame, a third bearing frame 74 is provided on an adjacent side of the first bearing frame 73, and a fourth bearing frame is provided on an adjacent side of the second bearing frame, the third bearing frame 74 and the fourth bearing frame are arranged opposite to each other, and the third bearing frame 74 and the fourth bearing frame are respectively fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper mounting plate 71, and further include a connecting frame 77, and the four side surfaces of the connecting frame 77 are respectively provided with connecting columns 76, and the connecting columns 76 on the four side surfaces are respectively rotatably connected to the first bearing frame 73, the second bearing frame, the third bearing frame 74 and the fourth bearing frame through bearings 75.

[0023] Specifically, in the above structure, when the first differential wheel 2 and the second differential wheel 3 travel on an uneven road, the multiple elastic mechanisms will contract to ensure the balance of the bearing plate 6.

[0024] The above-mentioned mechanism is provided with four bearing frames, which are respectively arranged on the upper mounting plate 71 and the lower mounting plate 72 in pairs, and the connecting frame 77 is rotatably connected to the four bearing frames, so that the upper mounting plate 71 can rotate relative to the lower mounting plate 72 along the X-axis and Y-axis directions at the same time. At the same time, in conjunction with the setting of multiple elastic mechanisms, the upper mounting plate 71 can achieve all-round movement relative to the lower mounting plate 72, thereby ensuring the shock absorption effect of the shock absorber frame 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, the elastic mechanisms are provided on both sides of the first bearing frame 73 , the second bearing frame, the third bearing frame 74 and the fourth bearing frame at equal distances therefrom, and the distances between each elastic mechanism and the center of the shock absorber frame 7 are equal.

[0026] It should be explained that in the above structure, elastic mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the first bearing frame 73, and the distance between the two elastic mechanisms and the first bearing frame 73 is equal, for example, the distance is A; elastic mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the second bearing frame, and the distance between the two elastic mechanisms and the second bearing frame is equal, also A; elastic mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the third bearing frame 74, and the distance between the two elastic mechanisms and the third bearing frame 74 is equal, also A; elastic mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the fourth bearing frame, and the distance between the two elastic mechanisms and the fourth bearing frame is equal, also A, and the distance between each elastic mechanism and the center point of the shock absorber frame 7 is also equal.

[0027] Specifically, the arrangement of the above structure can ensure that the forces on the upper mounting plate 71 and the lower mounting plate 72 are uniform, so that the shock-absorbing frame 7 can achieve a better shock-absorbing effect.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic structure includes an upper mounting column 781 fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 71 and a lower mounting column 782 fixedly connected to the lower mounting plate 72, and a distance is set between the upper mounting column 781 and the lower mounting column 782. It also includes a spring 783 mounted on the upper mounting column 781 and the lower mounting column 782, and the upper end of the spring 783 abuts against the upper mounting plate 71, and the lower end of the spring 783 abuts against the lower mounting plate 72.

[0029] In this structure, by setting the upper mounting column 781, the lower mounting column 782 and the spring 783, the relative displacement of the upper mounting plate 71 and the lower mounting plate 72 can be achieved, thereby achieving the elastic deformation of the upper mounting plate 71 and the lower mounting plate 72, thereby ensuring the shock absorption effect of the shock absorption frame 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 4 and the second driving mechanism 5 include a driving motor and a reducer connected to the output end of the motor;

[0031] The reducer includes a gear box 8, in which a first gear rod 801, a second gear rod 802, a third gear rod 803 and a fourth gear rod 804 are respectively provided.

[0032] The first gear 805 , the second gear 806 , the fifth gear 809 and the sixth gear 810 are located in the same plane, and the third gear 807 and the fourth gear 808 are located in the same plane.

[0033] Specifically, the reducer in this structure is installed on the side of the base frame 1, and the output torque of the motor is increased through multiple gear transmissions. At the same time, when designing this structure, the first gear 805, the second gear 806, the fifth gear 809 and the sixth gear 810 are located in the same plane, and the third gear 807 and the fourth gear 808 are located in the same plane, thereby ensuring the output torque while reducing the volume of the gearbox 8.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism includes a gear plate 9 fixed on the shock absorber frame 7, the gear plate 9 is connected to the carrier plate 6 through a rotary bearing 10, a rotary drive motor 11 is provided on the carrier plate 6, and a drive gear 12 is provided on the driving end of the rotary drive motor 11, and the drive gear 12 is meshed with the gear plate 9.

[0035] Specifically, when the supporting plate 6 needs to be driven to rotate, the rotary drive motor 11 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate. Since the drive gear 12 is engaged with the gear plate 9, the supporting plate 6 rotates relative to the shock absorber frame 7, so that the trolley can realize the in-situ rotation function.

[0036] The above-mentioned rotary drive structure is ingeniously designed, and while ensuring the rotation function, it will not interfere with other mechanisms.
