[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a stair climbing device.

[0023] A stair-climbing device includes a main platform 1, a front platform 2, and a rear platform 3. A first rotary drive mechanism 4 and a second rotary drive mechanism 5 are respectively provided at the bottom of the front platform 2 and the bottom of the rear platform 3. A first wheel 6 is provided at the output end of the first rotary drive mechanism 4, and a second wheel 7 is provided at the output end of the second rotary drive mechanism 5. A first lifting mechanism 8 is provided at the end of the main platform 1 near the front platform 2, and a first connecting member 9 is provided at the top of the front platform 2. The output end of the first lifting mechanism 8 is connected to the first connecting member 9. A second lifting mechanism 10 is provided at the end of the main platform 1 near the rear platform 3, and a second connecting member 11 is provided at the top of the rear platform 3. The output end of the second lifting mechanism 10 is connected to the second connecting member 11.

[0024] This invention achieves stable movement on stairs by setting up a main platform 1, a front platform 2, and a rear platform 3, and combining the control of a rotary drive mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The overall structure is simple, with few parts, reducing manufacturing costs and facilitating maintenance and widespread use. The first wheel 6 and the second wheel 7 at the bottom of the front and rear platforms provide support and movement on the ground or stairs. Simultaneously, the first lifting mechanism 8 and the second lifting mechanism 10 adjust the posture of the main platform 1, effectively improving the robot's stability during stair climbing and avoiding the risk of tilting or tipping over, thus enhancing safety. Furthermore, the robot can adjust the height difference of the lifting mechanism according to the height and slope of different stairs, adapting to various stair environments such as residential buildings, shopping malls, and office buildings, demonstrating good versatility and environmental adaptability.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the front platform 2 reaches the edge of the stairs, the first lifting mechanism 8 lifts the front platform 2, and the second rotary drive mechanism 5 drives the second wheel 7 of the rear platform 3 to roll, so that the front platform 2 moves to the top of the stairs. Then, the first lifting mechanism 8 drives the front platform 2 to descend and contact the top of the stairs. Subsequently, while the first lifting mechanism 8 continues to drive the first connecting piece 9 to descend relative to the main platform 1, the second lifting mechanism 10 also simultaneously drives the second connecting piece 11 to descend relative to the main platform 1, so that the main platform 1 can rise to the same height as the front platform 2. Finally, the first wheel 6 and the second wheel 7 roll forward, and the second lifting mechanism 10 drives the second connecting piece 11 to rise, so that the rear platform 3 is at the same height as the main platform 1 and the front platform 2. The first wheel 6 then rolls forward to complete the stair climbing step.

[0026] This embodiment of a stair-climbing device includes a first guide rod 12 at the top of the main platform 1, a first upright 13 at the top of the front platform 2, and a first guide block 14 at the top of the first upright 13. The first guide rod 12 passes through the first guide block 14. Specifically, by configuring the first guide rod 12 and the first guide block 14 to cooperate, the main platform 1 and the front platform 2 maintain good linear guidance during lifting, preventing deviation or swaying, and improving stability and safety during operation. In some embodiments, two of each of the first guide rod 12, first upright 13, and first guide block 14 are provided.

[0027] In this embodiment of the stair-climbing device, a second guide rod 15 is provided on the top of the main platform 1, a second upright 16 is provided on the top of the rear platform 3, and a second guide block 17 is provided on the top of the second upright 16. The second guide rod 15 passes through the second guide block 17. Specifically, the cooperation between the second guide rod 15 and the second guide block 17 also provides guidance for the relative movement between the rear platform 3 and the main platform 1, further improving the coordination and stability of the entire device during lifting and moving. In some embodiments, two of the second guide rod 15, the second upright 16, and the second guide block 17 are provided.

[0028] The stair-climbing device described in this embodiment has multiple connecting plates 18 at the bottom edge of the main platform 1, and multiple third wheels 19 are rotatably mounted on the connecting plates 18. Specifically, the multiple rotatable third wheels 19 can assist the main platform 1 in sliding and supporting itself on the ground or stairs, enhancing the robot's ability to pass through different terrains and its flexibility, while reducing frictional resistance and improving operating efficiency.

[0029] The stair-climbing device described in this embodiment includes a first connecting member 9 comprising a first base plate 20, a first side plate 21, and a first connecting block 22. The first base plate 20 is connected to the first connecting block 22 via the first side plate 21. The first connecting block 22 is connected to the first lifting mechanism 8. The first base plate 20 is also connected to the front platform 2. Specifically, the above-mentioned structure is robust and easy to install and disassemble, ensuring a reliable connection between the lifting mechanism and the front platform 2, and improving the strength and durability of the overall mechanical structure.

[0030] The stair-climbing device described in this embodiment includes a first lifting mechanism 8 comprising a first drive motor 23, a first lead screw 24, and a first lead screw nut 25. The first lead screw nut 25 is screwed onto the first lead screw 24, and the output end of the first drive motor 23 is connected to the first lead screw 24. Specifically, the lifting drive is achieved using a lead screw transmission method, which offers high control precision, fast response speed, and provides a large driving force. It is suitable for working environments with frequent start-stop cycles, improving the robot's controllability and reliability.

[0031] The stair-climbing device described in this embodiment includes a second connecting member 11 comprising a lifting rod 26, a second base plate 27, a second side plate 28, and a second connecting block 29. The second base plate 27 is connected to the second connecting block 29 via the second side plate 28. The second connecting block 29 is connected to the second lifting mechanism 10. The second base plate 27 is connected to the top of the lifting rod 26, and the bottom of the lifting rod 26 is connected to the top of the rear platform 3. Specifically, the second connecting member 11 is raised to a certain height by the lifting rod 26. When the rear platform 3 is at the same height as the main platform 1, the second connecting block 29 can be aligned with the second lifting mechanism 10. The components form a stable connection structure, enhancing the linkage performance between the rear platform 3 and the main platform 1, ensuring smooth and orderly lifting movements, and avoiding instability caused by structural loosening.

[0032] The stair-climbing device described in this embodiment includes a second lifting mechanism 10 comprising a second drive motor 30, a second lead screw 31, and a second lead screw nut 32. The second lead screw nut 32 is screwed onto the second lead screw 31, and the output end of the second drive motor 30 is connected to the second lead screw 31. Specifically, similar to the first lifting mechanism 8, the second lifting mechanism 10 also adopts a lead screw drive structure, ensuring the possibility of synchronous lifting of the front and rear platforms, enhancing the overall coordination and operational accuracy of the equipment, and making it suitable for automatic control requirements in complex terrain.

[0033] In this embodiment of the stair-climbing device, a sensor 33 is installed at the front end of the front platform 2. Specifically, by installing the sensor 33, the position of obstacles or steps ahead can be detected in real time, and the height difference of the stairs can also be identified when the front platform 2 is raised, thereby providing data support for subsequent actions.
