Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric differential drive wheels, in particular to a high-load electric differential drive wheel structure. Background Art
[0002] An AGV, or automated guided vehicle, commonly known as an "unmanned guided vehicle," is a heavy-duty transport vehicle equipped with automated guidance devices, such as electromagnetic or optical ones, capable of traveling along a pre-set path. It features safety features and various transfer functions. AGVs are widely used in industrial transportation because they rely on batteries for power and do not require a driver. They are particularly effective automated transport tools for logistics in flexible manufacturing and automated warehousing systems. Some AGVs require drive wheels for multi-directional travel and braking. With the continued development of AGVs, increasing demands are being placed on these drive wheels.
[0003] The bottom of the AGV is generally driven by an electric differential drive wheel, and the working principle of the electric differential drive wheel is to achieve straight-line and turning of the electric differential drive wheel by adjusting the speed difference between the two motors. However, the reducer in the existing electric differential drive wheel is generally fixed on a support plate, and the support plate generally bears the weight of the AGV. The reducer is required to have a certain load-bearing capacity, and when the electric differential drive wheel rotates, it is subjected to a certain torque and slightly deformed, causing the gears and bearings inside the reducer fixed on the support plate to have a certain amount of deformation, thereby changing the gear meshing clearance inside the reducer, which affects the torque output performance of the reducer. With the continuous development of industry, the size of the AGV will continue to increase. Therefore, multiple electric differential drive wheels are needed to meet the driving needs of larger AGVs, which greatly increases the cost of the AGV and reduces the control performance of the AGV.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a high-load electric differential drive wheel structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a high-load electric differential drive wheel structure, which can improve the load-bearing performance of the welding bracket and the support plate by cooperating and installing the welding bracket itself structure with the articulated shaft and the support bearing. By installing and fixing the reduction box and the motor at both ends of the welding bracket, the reduction box and the motor can be removed from the load-bearing part of the welding bracket, thereby avoiding the deformation of the welding bracket due to pressure affecting the reduction box, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that when the electric differential drive wheel rotates, the gears and bearings inside the reduction box fixed on the support plate produce a certain amount of deformation, thereby changing the gear meshing clearance inside the reduction box, which affects the torque output performance of the reduction box. Moreover, with the continuous development of industry, the size of the AGV cart will continue to increase. Therefore, multiple electric differential drive wheels are needed to meet the driving needs of larger AGV carts, which greatly increases the cost of the AGV cart and reduces the control performance of the AGV cart.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the driven gear is rotatably connected to the driving gear and is located on one side of the welding bracket, the driving gear is connected and fixed to a reduction gear on the side away from the connecting bearing, the reduction gear is connected and fixed to a motor on the side away from the driving gear, one end of the support plate is connected and fixed to an angle sensor, the top end of the angle sensor is rotatably connected to a transmission gear, the top end of the support plate is connected and fixed to a slewing bearing, and is meshed with the transmission gear.
[0009] Preferably, mounting grooves matching the hinge shaft are provided at both ends of the welding bracket, and support grooves matching the support bearings are provided inside both ends of the welding bracket and the hinge seat.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:
[0013] 1. After multiple rubber-coated wheels touch the ground, the rubber-coated wheels will transfer the pressure to the connecting bearings when they are under pressure, and transfer the pressure to the welding bracket through the connecting bearings, and transfer the pressure to the hinge shaft through the steel plate or steel pipe in the welding bracket, and make the hinge shaft transfer the pressure to the hinge seat through the support bearing, and transfer the pressure to the support plate through the hinge seat, and finally transfer the pressure to the AGV trolley.
