Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of traveling devices, in particular to a self-leveling, steering and self-traveling mechanism. Background Art
[0002] At present, there are more and more various transportation vehicles, and the carrying and movement of transportation mainly rely on wheels. The wheel axles in the existing technology run without height difference and rotate synchronously through the suspension set on the wheel axles.
[0003] Based on the above technology, when the application scenario requires transporting heavy objects in the wild, the traveling environment is uneven, the height difference is large, and the turning space is small. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a traveling mechanism that can adapt to uneven roads and enable the wheels to rotate to reduce the turning radius.
[0004] Patent document CN209164494U discloses a gear reduction drive wheel mechanism, comprising a gearbox bracket; a steering module, a drive module, and a reduction module are mounted on the gearbox bracket; the drive module is connected to the reduction module; the reduction module is connected to the steering module; the steering module comprises a steering bracket, a steering motor, a first steering gear, a second steering gear, a driven shaft, a first driven bevel gear, a second driven bevel gear, a first steering shaft, a second steering shaft, a second synchronous pulley, a third synchronous pulley, and a fourth synchronous pulley. This patent, through the drive module, reduction module, and steering module, is capable of reducing the motor's rotational speed to the desired number of rotations and achieving a high torque output. However, this patent describes a single-wheel configuration. If multiple gear reduction drive wheel mechanisms are required, the patent does not disclose how to set the height difference between the different wheel axles.
[0005] Patent document CN220147141U discloses a small, high-load drive wheel assembly. The assembly features a first drive assembly at the top for steering the wheel hub, and a second drive assembly at the bottom for rotating the wheel hub. The wheel hub is radially divided into two sections, each with a stepped hole. The large-diameter ends of the two sections are in contact with each other, and the reducer of the second drive assembly is located within the inner bore of the wheel hub. This patent utilizes the inner bore of the wheel hub by radially dividing the wheel hub into two sections, exposing the stepped hole within the section. This allows the reducer to be placed within the stepped hole and secured in place. This ensures that the wheel hub wall thickness meets strength requirements, further reducing the space occupied by the wheel hub. Furthermore, the first and second drive assemblies are provided to drive the wheel hub for steering and rotation, respectively, meeting the requirement for power output from the wheel hub. However, this patent describes a single-wheel configuration and does not disclose how to set the height difference between the different wheel axles when multiple drive wheel assemblies are provided.

[0016] 1. The utility model can make the wheel rotate, reduce the wheel turning space, and is suitable for large-diameter wheels, thereby improving the carrying capacity of heavy objects; when the wheels pass through uneven roads, especially large-diameter wheels, they are more prone to bumps. The connecting bridge adapts to the height of the wheels, thereby improving driving stability.
[0017] 2. The travel device and steering device of the present invention are driven by a motor with a reducer. The reducer reduces the motor speed to provide sufficient torque for the wheels to ensure normal rotation and operation.

[0018] 3. The steering device of this utility model transmits torque to the bracket through a gear set consisting of gears A and B, causing the bracket to rotate, thereby driving the wheel rotation.

A single steering device drives a single wheel, and different wheels can rotate to different angles to adapt to different environmental requirements.
[0019] 4. Different bridge types can adapt to different connection methods. When the connection height between the two sets of walking mechanisms is low, a concave bridge can be used, and when it is higher, a convex bridge can be used. Different bridge types can be used to adapt to different heights. When the height is sufficient, a concave bridge provides the best overall structural stress. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
