[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] The independent suspension device of the balancing robot includes a suspension frame 1, a wheel module 2, a fixed module 3, two slider groups 5, and two shock absorbers 4. The suspension frame 1 and the fixed module 3 are assembled together, and the fixed module 3 is used for assembling the wheel module 2. The fixed module 3 includes a fixed plate 31 and two guide rails 32. The guide rails 32 are arranged vertically and are mounted on the fixed plate 31. The slider groups 5 are fixed to the suspension frame 1, and the two slider groups 5 are slidably connected to the two guide rails 32 one by one. The two shock absorbers 4 are arranged on both sides, are arranged vertically, and are assembled with the fixed plate 31 and the suspension frame 1 at both ends respectively.

[0027] The independent suspension device of the aforementioned balancing robot, under the action of the guide rail 32, constrains the wheel module 2 in the vertical direction, preventing the wheel module 2 from shifting in the vertical direction. Combined with the shock absorption effect of the two shock absorbers 4, it can reduce the vibration of the balancing robot when passing through undulating road sections, increase the handling performance, effectively protect the mechanical structure, and improve the service life of the balancing robot. At the same time, the independent cooperation between the two shock absorbers 4 and the two guide rails 32 makes the shock absorption performance of the suspension device more stable, improving the driving stability of the balancing robot.

[0028] Shock absorber 4 is a hydraulic shock absorber 4, which facilitates the application of shock absorption effect.

[0029] The shock absorber 4 adopts a dual-barrel negative pressure design. Each hydraulic shock absorber 4 has a spring stiffness coefficient of 4N / MM and a maximum compression of 20MM. The two shock absorbers 4 can provide a maximum force of 160N, which can easily meet the shock absorption needs of the balancing robot.

[0030] The suspension frame 1 includes two longitudinal columns 11, which are arranged at intervals and vertically, and are corresponding to the guide rail 32. The slider assembly 5 includes at least one slider, which is mounted on the longitudinal column 11 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 32. Under the action of the longitudinal column 11, the slider assembly 5 is assembled, and the slider is also slidably connected to the guide rail 32.

[0031] The longitudinal frame columns 11 are made of aluminum and are hollow; this makes the longitudinal frame columns 11 lighter, reducing their own weight and facilitating the robot's movement.

[0032] The fixed plate 31 has a fixed area, the wheel module 2 is installed in the fixed area, and the two longitudinal frame columns 11, the two guide rails 32 and the two shock absorbers 4 are arranged symmetrically along the fixed area. The advantage of this arrangement is that the force on the suspension device is more uniform and the stability of the suspension device is enhanced.

[0033] The suspension frame 1 includes an inner frame plate 12, an outer frame plate 13, a short fixed block 14, and a long fixed block 15. The inner frame plate 12 and the outer frame plate 13 are arranged in a corresponding manner at intervals. The two longitudinal columns 11 are simultaneously assembled with the inner frame plate 12 in a stacked arrangement. Under the action of the inner frame plate 12, the assembly of the longitudinal columns 11 is realized.

[0034] The inner frame plate 12 has multiple inner plate holes, which are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The screws extend through the longitudinal frame column 11 and are threadedly connected to each inner plate hole; thus, the vertical assembly of the longitudinal frame column 11 is achieved.

[0035] The two ends of the bolt are respectively arranged to mate with the inner frame plate 12 and the outer frame plate 13, and the bolt simultaneously passes through the short fixed block 14 and the long fixed block 15. The short fixed block 14 and the long fixed block 15 are used to fasten the upper part of the shock absorber 4. In this way, under the action of the short fixed block 14 and the long fixed block 15, the upper part of the shock absorber 4 is positioned and fastened, so as to satisfy the vertical assembly of the shock absorber 4.

[0036] The upper and lower parts of the shock absorber 4 form an upper shock absorber head and a lower shock absorber head, respectively. The lower shock absorber head is stacked and fixedly arranged with the fixing plate 31. The fixing plate 31 has a plate-fixed surface that abuts against the lower shock absorber head, and the short fixing block 14 has a block-fixed surface that abuts against the upper shock absorber head. Along the top-to-bottom direction, the plate-fixed surface and the block-fixed surface are arranged flush.

[0037] In this way, under the positioning effect of the plate-fixed surface and the block-fixed surface, the assembled shock absorber 4 is arranged vertically in a corresponding manner, ensuring the shock absorption effect of the shock absorber 4 in the vertical direction.

[0038] The suspension frame 1 includes multiple reinforcing columns, which are arranged laterally, and the two ends of the reinforcing columns are respectively fixedly connected to the inner frame plate 12 and the outer frame plate 13. Under the action of each reinforcing column, each reinforcing column, the inner frame plate 12 and the outer frame plate 13 form an integral whole, making the overall stability of the suspension frame 1 stronger, facilitating the stress on the suspension frame 1, and also ensuring the assembly of the wheel module 2.

[0039] The wheel module 2 includes a servo motor 21, a tire 22, a conversion plate 23, and a wheel plate 24. The conversion plate 23 is assembled with the servo motor 21 and the tire 22 respectively. The wheel plate 24 is assembled with the tire 22 and is used to support the tire 22. The servo motor 21 is assembled with the fixing plate 31.

[0040] The servo motor 21 is used to drive the tire 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the tire 22 enables the robot to move in a balanced manner. At the same time, the use of the servo motor 21 facilitates the control of the drive. Furthermore, under the action of the conversion plate 23, the servo motor 21 and the tire 22 are integrated into one piece. Under the action of the wheel plate 24, the load-bearing capacity of the tire 22 is enhanced, and the service life of the tire 22 is improved.

[0041] The wheel module 2 includes an electronic control housing and a wheel control board. The wheel control board is installed inside the electronic control housing. The electronic control housing and the servo motor 21 are stacked and assembled, and the wheel control board and the servo motor 21 are arranged in a signal communication manner. This facilitates the control of the servo motor 21, and the central arrangement helps to improve the rotational stability of the wheel module 2.

[0042] The electric control housing penetrates the fixing plate 31, and the wheel control plate is located between the two longitudinal columns 11; in this way, the wheel control plate is arranged internally, which protects the wheel control plate and prevents damage to the wheel control plate caused by external impact.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
