Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of Mecanum wheels, in particular to a Mecanum wheel with a fully built-in servo drive controller and a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Background Art
[0002] The background technology of the Mecanum wheel with fully built-in servo drive controller and permanent magnet synchronous motor involves multiple fields, mainly including motor control, servo system, permanent magnet synchronous motor, Mecanum wheel and its application.
[0003] 1. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Technology
[0004] Principle and Advantages: A permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a synchronous motor that uses permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field. It offers advantages such as high efficiency, high power density, and low operating noise. These features make it an ideal choice for servo control systems requiring high precision and efficiency.
[0005] Control difficulty: The control of PMSM is relatively complex and requires advanced control algorithms (such as vector control or field-oriented control) to achieve precise torque and speed control to cope with the dynamic changes of the motor under various loads.
[0006] 2. Servo drive control technology
[0007] Precision control requirements: Servo drives are used to provide high-precision positioning, speed, and torque control. They are typically used in conjunction with position feedback devices such as encoders to achieve precise control of the motor through a closed-loop control system.
[0008] Fully integrated control technology: Traditional servo systems typically place the driver and controller outside the motor. However, fully integrated solutions integrate these components into the motor or wheel, achieving an all-in-one design. This reduces device size, simplifies wiring, and improves system response speed and reliability.
[0009] 3. Mecanum Wheel Technology
[0010] The Mecanum wheel is a specially designed omnidirectional wheel with oblique rollers installed on its rim. These rollers can generate lateral force when driven by a motor, allowing the wheel to move in all directions, such as forward and backward, left and right, and even rotate in place.
[0011] Mecanum wheels have a complex motion scheme, requiring each wheel to be independently driven and controlled to achieve arbitrary translation and rotation of the vehicle. Achieving this multi-degree-of-freedom motion requires the integration of complex kinematic algorithms and synchronous control technologies.
[0012] 4. Highly integrated design
[0013] Difficulty of integrated design: Fully integrating the motor, drive, and controller into the mecanum wheel presents multiple design challenges, including electrical, mechanical, heat dissipation, and volume. Due to limited space, small and efficient circuit boards, sensors, and cooling systems must be designed.
[0014] Modularity and maintainability: Highly integrated designs require equipment to be able to work effectively under space-constrained conditions, so modular design is needed to facilitate inspection, maintenance, or replacement.
[0015] 5. Application requirements of omnidirectional mobile platforms
[0016] Demands in multiple fields: Mecanum wheels, due to their omnidirectional mobility, are widely used in AGVs (automated guided vehicles), mobile robots, industrial automation, medical handling equipment, and other fields. These fields have high requirements for movement accuracy, load capacity, and control response speed.
[0017] Adaptive control and safety: With the increasing use of autonomous mobile devices in complex environments, the demand for adaptive control and safety systems is becoming increasingly stringent. Functions such as collision detection, fault self-diagnosis, motion trajectory planning, and path optimization all need to be integrated into servo drive and control systems.

[0038] Figure 1 The exploded diagram of the Mecanum wheel with a fully built-in servo drive controller and a permanent magnet synchronous motor according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a Mecanum wheel with a fully built-in servo drive controller and a permanent magnet synchronous motor.
[0039] The Mecanum wheel with a fully built-in servo drive controller and a permanent magnet synchronous motor comprises: a wheel body 1, a drive motor 2, a controller 3 and a shaft 4 passing through the wheel body 1.
[0040] The drive motor 2 and the controller 3 are disposed in the wheel body 1 and mounted on the shaft 4. The controller 3 is connected to the control end of the drive motor 2 by a wire. The drive motor 2 drives the wheel body 1 to rotate around the shaft 4.
[0041] The drive motor 2 and controller 3 form a module and are encapsulated in the wheel body 1 along with the shaft 4. The drive motor 2 and controller 3 are relatively small in size, and the controller 3 can control the drive motor 2 to output a higher power. The drive motor 2 and controller 3 are both mounted on the shaft 4, and the integrated installation is highly precise.
[0042] Mecanum wheels with fully built-in servo drive controllers and permanent magnet synchronous motors are used in systems such as walking carts and robots to save system space and simplify system wiring.
[0043] The controller 3 is connected to the power supply line and the communication line and is led out through the shaft 4.
[0044] The power supply and communication lines of the fully built-in servo drive controller and the Mecanum wheel of the permanent magnet synchronous motor are led out from the shaft 4. By connecting them in series, the drive and control of the Mecanum wheel of the fully built-in servo drive controller and the permanent magnet synchronous motor can be completed, making the system design and deployment more concise, further saving costs, reducing failure rates, increasing system reliability, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0045] The communication line leading out of shaft 4 is designed with Ethernet communication interface, serial RS232 interface, EtherCAT communication protocol, and CIA402 protocol, so that the fully built-in servo drive controller and the Mecanum wheel of the permanent magnet synchronous motor form a complete EtherCAT substation, making system deployment and control easier.

[0047] The drive motor 2 drives the gear 22 to rotate, driving the adjacent gear 22 to rotate. The gear 22 drives the hub gear ring 11 and the wheel body 1 to rotate. Through the engagement of the gear 22 and the hub gear ring 11, the output torque is increased, and the drive motor 2 obtains a higher power density to drive the wheel body 1. At the same time, a large number of transmission components are saved, making the system structure simpler.
[0048] A code disc cover 12 and a wheel side cover 13 are located on either side of the wheel body 1. Code disc cover 12 and wheel side cover 13 are positioned opposite each other.
