In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The following refers to Figures 1 to 4 A track walking profiling wheel train device according to some embodiments of the application is described.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the embodiments of the application provide a track walking profiling wheel train device, comprising a connecting shaft 1, a rocking seat 2 and a supporting wheel assembly 3; wherein the connecting shaft 1 is used to be connected to the frame, and the rocking seat 2 is rotatably connected with the connecting shaft 1; any supporting wheel assembly 3 comprises two supporting wheels 31, and the two supporting wheels 31 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the rocking seat 2 along a first predetermined direction a, and any supporting wheel 31 is rotatably connected with the rocking seat 2.

[0033] According to the above-described structure, the structure composed of the carrier wheels 31 and the rocking seat 2 can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 1 and the frame, that is, the carrier wheels 31 can float forward and backward within a certain range, and the carrier wheels 31 can follow the ground when in use, thereby filtering out the rigid transmission vibration, and thereby helping to improve the driving comfort.

[0034] Further preferably, the connecting shaft 1 is fixedly connected with the frame, but is not limited thereto, and the connecting shaft 1 can also be rotatably connected with the frame, which is selected according to actual needs.

[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , any carrier wheel assembly 3 is provided with an axle 4 and a bearing 5, the rocking seat 2 is formed with a mounting cavity 231 penetrating through both sides thereof along a first preset direction a, the axle 4 and the bearing 5 are both mounted in the mounting cavity 231, the axle 4 is mounted in an inner ring of the bearing 5, the axle 4 is fixedly connected with the inner ring of the bearing 5, both ends of the axle 4 extend to the outside of both sides of the rocking seat 2, and are fixedly connected with the two carrier wheels 31 in the carrier wheel assembly 3.

[0036] The rocking seat 2 is fixedly connected with an outer ring of the bearing 5, so that the axle 4 rotates relative to the rocking seat 2 together with the carrier wheels 31; the rocking seat 2 is also formed with a shaft hole 211, and the connecting shaft 1 is rotatably mounted in the shaft hole 211. It can be seen that the two carrier wheels 31 driven by the axle 4 can freely rotate relative to the rocking seat 2, that is, the movement of the carrier wheels 31 is not affected, meeting the use requirements, and the bearing 5 also plays a role in reducing friction and supporting the axle 4.

[0037] According to the above-described structure, the bearing 5 and the like structure are arranged in the rocking seat 2 in the present application, and are independently arranged with the carrier wheels 31, which is more convenient to replace or maintain than the structure in which the two are integrated together, and especially when the bearings 5 provided for the two carrier wheels 31 in each carrier wheel assembly 3 are integrated in the rocking seats 2 of the two carrier wheels 31 and are close to each other, the supporting effect is better, and the overall structure is more stable. If the bearing 5 is integrated in the carrier wheel 31, two bearings 5 need to be provided for each carrier wheel 31 in order to ensure the stability of the structure of the carrier wheel 31, so that four bearings 5 need to be provided for each carrier wheel assembly 3, which increases the number of bearings 5, is not convenient for assembly, increases the cost, and increases the overall weight of the carrier wheel assembly 3.

[0038] Further preferably, the carrier wheels 31 can be fixed on the axle 4 by nuts, but are not limited thereto.
