Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a model trolley for racing, belonging to the model car technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Model racing competition projects will use racing model trolleys. At present, common racing model trolleys are relatively large in size, are not flexible enough in steering, and do not have additional downward pressure to provide high friction when steering, so that the steering speed is relatively low.

[0003] The size of a common general standard racing model trolley is generally in the range of 20cm*15cm to 30cm*20cm, and generally depends on counterweight and large batteries to provide grip and kinetic energy. Meanwhile, the larger the volume of the model trolley, the lower the design difficulty and technical barriers, and the lower the speed and sensitivity that can be achieved. For small-radius curves, a larger-sized trolley is slightly clumsy and cannot achieve high-speed track running. In order to improve the upper limit speed and sensitivity of the trolley, the weight of the trolley needs to be reduced, and the size and volume need to be reduced, but the grip is also reduced.

[0004] The steering speed of a common racing model trolley is generally below 2m / s, and the low steering speed is to ensure stability and accuracy to avoid slipping or leaving the track. SUMMARY

[0005] The utility model provides a small-sized, light-weight, high-grip, high-steering-speed and high-sensitivity miniature double-motor four-wheel differential negative pressure racing model trolley to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0010] The transmission mechanism comprises a driving motor, a driving gear and a driven gear, the driving motor is installed on the chassis, the driving gear is installed on the rotating shaft of the driving motor, and the driven gear is connected with the walking wheels and engaged with the driving gear.

[0013] When the above trolley runs, the walking wheels on the left and right sides of the axle are driven by the respective transmission mechanisms to rotate at different speeds, the walking wheels on the two sides generate a speed difference, differential steering is realized, and stable steering of the trolley is ensured.

[0014] The trolley has the following characteristics:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] As Figure 1 shown, the utility model discloses a miniature double-motor four-wheel differential negative pressure racing model car, including chassis 1, axle 3, walking wheel 2, transmission mechanism 6, grip auxiliary mechanism, control unit 4, signal detection unit 7 and grip controller 10.

[0021] The left and right sides of chassis 1 are provided with fixing pieces 5, and the fixing pieces 5 are fixedly connected with front and rear two axles 3, the axle 3 is a long straight shaft, walking wheels 2 are installed at both ends of the axle 3, and the walking wheels 2 rotate around the axle 3. Both ends of one axle 3 (front axle) are connected with a set of transmission mechanisms 6 respectively.

[0022] The transmission mechanism 6 includes a driving motor 11, a driving gear 6 and a driven gear 13, the driving motor 11 is installed on the chassis 1, the driving gear 6 is installed on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 11, and the driven gear 13 is connected with the walking wheel 2 and is engaged with the driving gear 6. The driven gear 13 can be an integral structure with the walking wheel 2, so that the walking wheel 2 is provided with the driven gear 13, and integrated processing and installation are realized.

[0023] The grip auxiliary mechanism includes an auxiliary bottom plate 8, an auxiliary motor 9 and a paddle 12. The left and right sides of the chassis 1 are provided with auxiliary bottom plates 8, and two auxiliary motors 9 are installed on each side of the auxiliary bottom plate 8, the rotating shaft of the auxiliary motor 9 is in an upward vertical state, the paddle 12 is reversely installed on the rotating shaft of the auxiliary motor 9, and the paddle 12 generates downward thrust when rotating, instead of upward lift.

[0024] The chassis 1 is also provided with a control unit 4, a signal detection unit 7 and a grip controller 10. The driving motors 11 in the two sets of transmission mechanisms 6 are electrically connected with the control unit 4, the control unit 4 is connected with the signal detection unit 7, and the grip controller 10 is connected with the control unit 4. The control unit 4 controls the rotating speed of the driving motors 11 on both sides of the axle 3, so that the walking wheels 2 on both sides rotate at different speeds, and differential steering of the car is realized. The auxiliary motor 9 is electrically connected with the grip controller 10. The grip controller 10 controls the operation of the auxiliary motor 9, drives the paddle 12 to rotate, generates downward thrust, and increases the grip of the entire car.

[0025] The signal detection unit 7 comprises a detection plate 14 and photoelectric sensors 15 distributed on the detection plate 14, and up to 20 photoelectric sensors 15 are arranged in an arc shape on the detection plate 14. Based on the principle of the photoelectric sensor, photoelectrons are excited by current, and if the ground is white, the photoelectrons are reflected, and if the ground is black, the photoelectrons are absorbed, and then the signal change is read to detect the photoelectric signal. The photoelectric sensor 16 detects the condition of the ground, converts the change of the optical signal into an electrical signal, and transmits it to the control unit 4. The signal detection unit 7 is equivalent to the eyes to judge the path; the control unit 4 is equivalent to the brain to make path judgment, speed control, etc. The signal detection unit 7 converts the received optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control unit 4, and the control unit 4 judges whether the grip assistance mechanism needs to be started, and transmits a signal to the grip controller 10 when needed. After receiving the signal, the grip controller 10 controls the auxiliary motor 9 to start and controls the speed thereof. In short, the signal detection unit 7 collects information through identification and transmits it to the control unit 4, which judges and processes the signal and sends it to the grip controller 10, which controls the specific operation execution. The control unit 4 can use an existing controller or a single-chip microcomputer. The grip controller 10 can use an existing motor speed controller (speed regulator).

[0026] The running process of the racing model car is as follows.

[0027] The driving motors 11 on the left and right sides of the axle 3 are synchronously operated, respectively drive the driven gears 13 on the two sides through the driving gears 6 to rotate at different speeds, so that the walking wheels 2 on the two sides generate a speed difference, realize differential steering, and ensure stable steering of the car. The grip controller 10 drives the auxiliary motor 9 to drive the reversely installed paddle 12, generates a downward thrust through the negative pressure below the paddle 12, provides additional pressure for the racing model car, makes it reach a higher friction, and realizes fast and stable steering.

[0028] The size of the model car of the utility model is 13cm*10cm, and the weight is only 130g (without battery), which realizes a low-mass high-speed and very stable running state. The model car successfully realizes small size, high steering speed and high sensitivity. The paddle 12 is reversely installed, and the downward thrust generated by the rotation of the paddle 12 increases the grip and friction of the racing car without increasing the weight of the car body itself. The downward thrust enables the car to be "adsorbed" on the surface of the track, thereby improving the friction between the tire and the track. Differential steering is adopted, and steering is realized by adjusting the speed difference of the left and right wheels. The inner wheel rotates at a lower speed, and the outer wheel rotates at a higher speed, thereby realizing the turning of the car. The model car has the following characteristics:

[0029] 1. Simple structure, simplified design and low maintenance requirement;

[0030] 2. High flexibility: in-place steering capability, various movement modes;

[0031] 3. Control flexibility, precise control;

[0032] 4. Adapt to complex environment: better differential steering performance and reduce the risk of slipping on the track that requires quick U-turn or frequent steering.
