Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of load-bearing steering wheels, in particular to a high-load-bearing steering wheel with a single motor and two wheels. Background Art

[0002] AGV is an "Automated Guided Vehicle," commonly known as an "Unmanned Transport Vehicle." It is a heavy-duty transport vehicle equipped with an electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance device that can travel along a pre-set guide path and has safety protection and various transfer functions. In industrial transportation, AGVs are widely used because they rely on batteries as their power source and do not require a driver. Especially in flexible manufacturing systems and automated warehousing systems, AGVs have become an effective tool for automatic logistics transportation.

[0003] The bottom of the AGV is generally equipped with a steering wheel to facilitate the AGV to move in multiple directions. However, the wheel bracket on the existing steering wheel is a 7-shaped structure. The wheel bracket cannot withstand large bending moments and is prone to breakage. In addition, wheel steering requires a large torque, which requires the steering wheel to be equipped with a large motor with high power. This leads to excessively high costs for the steering wheel and reduces the ground clearance of the motor, making it impossible for the AGV to travel on sloped roads.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a high-load-bearing steering wheel with a single motor and two wheels to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a high-load-bearing steering wheel with a single motor and two wheels. By cooperating with the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the torque of the steering wheel during walking or turning can be reduced, thereby facilitating the selection of a motor with a small torque. By setting up two wheels, the supporting capacity of the wheel bracket can be improved to solve the problem in the prior art that the wheel bracket on the steering wheel is a 7-shaped structure, the wheel bracket cannot withstand a large bending moment and is prone to breakage, and the steering of the wheel requires a large torque, thereby requiring the steering wheel to be equipped with a large motor with a large power, which leads to excessively high cost of the steering wheel and reduces the ground clearance of the motor, making it impossible for the AGV car to travel on a sloping road.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-load-bearing steering wheel with a single motor and two wheels, including a driving wheel, a driven wheel is installed parallel to one side of the driving wheel, a traveling motor is provided on one side of the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the driving wheel, the driven wheel and the outer wall of the traveling motor are sleeved.

[0007] Preferably, the outer walls of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are sleeved with bearings and are located around the outer wall of the travel motor. A reduction gearbox is installed and fixed on the inner wall of the travel motor close to the driving wheel and is located on one side of the driving wheel. A wheel bracket is installed and fixed on the top of the travel motor.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the wheel bracket is rotatably connected to a hinge assembly, the outer wall of the hinge assembly is sleeved and fixed with a steering mounting plate, and is located at the top of the wheel bracket, a steering motor is installed and fixed at the bottom end of one side of the steering mounting plate, the top end of the steering motor is rotatably connected to a steering gear, and passes through the top end of the steering mounting plate, the top end of the steering mounting plate is rotatably connected to a slewing bearing, and is located above the center of the steering mounting plate, and is meshed with the steering gear.

[0009] Preferably, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the travel motor through bearings, and a mounting groove matching the reduction gearbox is provided inside the travel motor.

[0010] Preferably, the shape of the wheel bracket is changed from a 7-shaped structure to a vertical plate structure, and has a certain thickness and good load-bearing performance. The surface of the wheel bracket is provided with a connection groove that matches the hinge assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the steering gear and the slewing bearing are engaged with each other via tooth grooves, and the inner shaft of the slewing bearing is connected and installed with the steering mounting plate via bolts.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0013] 1. By providing a driving wheel and a driven wheel, it is convenient for both wheels to touch the ground at the same time, and the pressure is transmitted to the bearing. The bearing gradually transmits the pressure to the housing of the travel motor. When the pressure is transmitted to the wheel bracket, the pressure is dispersed through the housing of the travel motor, so that the wheel bracket can bear less pressure. At the same time, the wheel bracket is shaped as a vertical plate and has a certain thickness, which makes it easy to improve the load-bearing capacity of the wheel bracket itself and facilitate the processing of the wheel bracket. The pressure is then transmitted from the wheel bracket to the steering mounting plate through the hinge assembly, and finally to the AGV trolley, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the wheel bracket and facilitate the processing of the wheel bracket.

[0014] 2. By starting the steering motor, the steering motor drives the steering gear on the steering mounting plate to rotate, so that the steering gear drives the slewing bearing to rotate. The inner shaft of the slewing bearing is connected and installed with the steering mounting plate, so that the slewing bearing rotates and drives the steering mounting plate to rotate, thereby making the steering mounting plate drive the travel motor through the hinge assembly and the wheel bracket. The driving wheel and the driven wheel sleeved on the outer wall of the travel motor rotate, so that the two wheels rotate on the ground through rolling friction, thereby reducing the torque required for steering, making it easier for the steering wheel to use a motor with a smaller torque to meet the steering of the steering wheel, thereby increasing the ground clearance of the motor, allowing the AGV car to travel on a road with a certain slope, and improving the car's obstacle crossing ability.
