Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a wheel installation structure capable of changing power and continuity, and belongs to the technical field of logistics machinery and equipment. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the two-way and four-way shuttles widely used in logistics and warehousing typically have running wheels on tracks. Eccentric lifting is used to change the position of the running wheels relative to the vehicle body, thereby enabling the vehicle to be raised and lowered, allowing for the storage and retrieval of goods. However, when the wheel position changes, the relative center distance between the power transmission shaft and the running wheel axle changes, resulting in a loss of power transmission. The current common solution is to install a flexible and retractable universal coupling. This method subjects the connected shafts to not only torque but also radial and axial forces, severely impacting the bearing life of the supporting shaft. Furthermore, the universal joint transmission has a low lifespan and stability. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The third embodiment of the present invention is roughly the same as the first embodiment, mainly in that the front running wheel assembly 1 consists of a running wheel 108, the running wheel 108 is mounted on the rotating shaft 104, a transmission gear 107 is coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 104, the transmission gear 107 is engaged and transmitted to the fixed gear 106, the fixed gear 106 is mounted on the transmission shaft 105, the transmission shaft 105 and the rotating shaft 104 are both mounted on the hinge rod 101, and the hinge rod 101 is connected to the upper swing link 8.
