When moving on uneven ground, one wheel may fail to make effective contact with the ground, resulting in the robot being suspended in mid-air and affecting its stability. To ensure that all four wheels of a wheeled robot make effective contact with the ground on uneven surfaces, a suspension-type shock-absorbing structure, such as a linkage-based suspension shock-absorbing device, is generally required.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected / set" to another component, it can be connected / set to another component, or it may simultaneously have a component centrally positioned.
[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a suspension device for a wheeled robot, characterized in that it includes a motor mounting base 2, a main support frame 1, and two linkage damping assemblies 4. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting base 2, and the motor mounting base 2 and the motor 3 are located between the two linkage damping assemblies 4. The main support frame 1 has multiple main support frame mounting holes for detachably connecting to the chassis of the wheeled robot.
[0025] Each linkage damping assembly 4 includes a linkage mounting side plate 41, a damper 42, and two linkages 43. The first end of the damper 42 is rotatably connected to the main support frame 1, and the second end is rotatably connected to the motor mounting base 2. One side of the linkage mounting side plate 41 is fixedly connected to the main support frame 1. The first end of each linkage 43 is rotatably connected to the linkage mounting side plate 41, and the second end is rotatably connected to the motor mounting base 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the shock absorber 42 is fixedly connected to the main support frame 1, and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 is also fixedly connected to the main support frame 1. Therefore, four-point connections can be achieved between the structure other than the main support frame 1 and the main support frame 1. Furthermore, the suspension device as a whole achieves a multi-point detachable connection through the main support frame 1 and the chassis of the wheeled robot. Compared with the connection method of the prior art, the connection method of this embodiment is more stable, and it also allows the suspension device as a whole to be disassembled or installed as a module. This modular design makes the disassembly and assembly between the suspension device and the chassis of the wheeled robot more convenient and efficient. In addition, the structural design of this embodiment leaves the space above the motor 3 unoccupied, making it easy to add corresponding accessories such as a heat dissipation device for the motor 3 according to customer needs.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 2-4A radiator 51 is fixedly connected to the side of the motor 3 facing the main support frame 1, and a cooling fan 52 is fixedly connected to the side of the radiator 51 facing the main support frame 1. Thermal conductive silicone is fixedly provided between the radiator 51 and the motor 3.
[0028] Specifically, the radiator 51 and the motor 3 are secured together by cable ties.
[0029] The heat sink 51 includes a heat sink base 511 for contacting the motor 3, and thermally conductive silicone is disposed between the heat sink base 511 and the motor 3. A plurality of heat sink fins 512 arranged at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the side of the heat sink base 511 facing away from the motor 3, and a fin gap is left between two adjacent heat sink fins 512.
[0030] The heat sink base 511 is also fixedly connected to two heat sink mounting plates 513, and multiple heat sink fins 512 are located between the two heat sink mounting plates 513. Each heat sink mounting plate 513 has at least one heat sink mounting plate hole 5131, and the cooling fan 52 has a cooling fan hole 521 corresponding to the heat sink mounting plate hole 5131. A heat sink connecting post 53 is fixedly connected between the corresponding heat sink mounting plate hole 5131 and the cooling fan hole 521.
[0031] In this embodiment, since the space above the motor 3 is not occupied, a radiator 51 and a cooling fan 52 can be installed above the motor 3 to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the motor 3.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 2-4 Each link damping assembly 4 also includes four bearing modules 44. Each link 43 and the link mounting side plate 41 are rotatably connected through a bearing module 44, as are each link 43 and the motor mounting base 2.
[0033] Each bearing module 44 includes a first flange bearing 441, a second flange bearing 442, a connecting shaft 443, a connecting rod through hole 444, and a connecting shaft through hole 445.
[0034] In each bearing module 44, the bearing body of the first flange bearing 441 is inserted into the connecting rod through hole 444 from the first end, and its flange is blocked outside the first end of the connecting rod through hole 444. The bearing body of the second flange bearing 442 is inserted into the connecting rod through hole 444 from the second end, and its flange is blocked outside the second end of the connecting rod through hole 444. The first end of the connecting rod through hole 444 is the end facing away from the connecting shaft through hole 445, and the second end of the connecting rod through hole 444 is the end facing the connecting shaft through hole 445.
[0035] In each bearing module 44, the head of the connecting shaft 443 is blocked outside the hole of the first flange bearing 441. The tail of the connecting shaft 443 passes through the first flange bearing 441, the second flange bearing 442, and the connecting shaft through hole 445 in sequence, and is threaded with a lock nut 446, which is blocked outside the connecting shaft through hole 445. The connecting shaft 443 and the first flange bearing 441 are interference-fitted, and the connecting shaft 443 and the second flange bearing 442 are interference-fitted.
[0036] In the same connecting rod damping assembly 4, each connecting rod 43 has a connecting rod through hole 44 at its first and second ends, and two connecting shaft through holes 445 are opened on the connecting rod mounting side plate 41. The two connecting shaft through holes 445 are opened on the surface of the motor mounting seat 2 facing the connecting rod 43.
[0037] Each bearing module 44 also includes a washer 447. The washer 447 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 443, located between the inner ring of the second flange bearing 442 and the connecting shaft through hole 445, specifically positioned outside the hole of the second flange bearing 442 and outside the connecting shaft through hole 445. That is, a washer 447 is provided between the connecting rod mounting side plate 441 and the inner ring of the corresponding second flange bearing 442, and a washer 447 is provided between the motor mounting base 2 and the inner ring of the corresponding second flange bearing 442.
[0038] By setting the bearing module 44, the connecting rod 43 can be ensured to rotate smoothly relative to the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 / motor mounting seat 2, thereby ensuring the stable realization of the suspension device function and improving the response sensitivity of the suspension device.
[0039] In each bearing module 44, the arrangement of the first flange bearing 441 and the second flange bearing 442 prevents relative slippage between the connecting rod through hole 44 and the bearing. Existing technologies generally employ a single bearing design, requiring the addition of a corresponding bearing cap and screws to secure the bearing in the hole. This design is more complex and difficult to install. In this embodiment, the first flange bearing 441 and the second flange bearing 442 use identical, symmetrically arranged parts. The use of common parts further simplifies installation and reduces costs.
[0040] In this embodiment, the structure consisting of the outer ring of the first flange bearing 441, the outer ring of the second flange bearing 442, and the connecting rod 43 rotates relative to the structure consisting of the inner ring of the first flange bearing 441, the inner ring of the second flange bearing 442, the connecting shaft 443, the locking nut 446, and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 / motor mounting seat 2. If the outer ring of the second flange bearing 442 and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 / motor mounting seat 2 are tightly fitted together, friction will be generated, hindering relative rotation and thus affecting the sensitivity of the suspension device. In this embodiment, a washer 447 is placed between the inner ring of the second flange bearing 442 and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 / motor mounting seat 2, so that there is a gap between the outer ring of the second flange bearing 442 and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 / motor mounting seat 2, allowing for smooth rotation and ensuring the sensitivity of the suspension device.
[0041] In this embodiment, each connecting rod mounting side plate 41 is also provided with a nut receiving hole 413 corresponding to the connecting shaft through hole 445. The diameter of the nut receiving hole 413 is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft through hole 445. The first end of the connecting shaft through hole 445 passes through the side of the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 facing the motor 3, and the second end of the connecting shaft through hole 445 passes through the first end of its corresponding nut receiving hole 413. The second end of the nut receiving hole 413 passes through the side of the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 away from the motor 3. The locking nut 446, which is blocked outside the connecting shaft through hole 445 on the connecting rod mounting side plate 41, is located in the nut receiving hole 413 corresponding to the connecting shaft through hole 445. The setting of the nut receiving hole 413 can prevent the locking nut 446 from protruding outside the connecting rod mounting side plate 41, making the overall suspension device more aesthetically pleasing.
[0042] In each connecting rod damping assembly 4, the two connecting rods 43 are parallel and of equal length. The line connecting the two connecting shaft through holes 445 on the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 and the line connecting the two connecting shaft through holes 445 on the motor mounting base 2 are parallel and of equal length. Both the line connecting the two connecting shaft through holes 445 on the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 and the line connecting the two connecting shaft through holes 445 on the motor mounting base 2 are perpendicular to the main support frame 1.
[0043] When the wheeled robot is on a flat surface, the shock absorber 42 is set perpendicular to the main support frame 1. In the same link shock absorber assembly 4, the distance from the connection between the shock absorber 42 and the motor mounting base 2 to the link mounting side plate 41 is greater than the distance from the connection between the link 43 and the motor mounting base 2 to the link mounting side plate 41.
[0044] In each linkage damping assembly 4, two linkages 43, two bearing modules 44 connected to the linkage mounting side plate 41, and two bearing modules 44 connected to the motor mounting base 2 form a parallelogram double linkage structure. When the wheeled robot passes through an uneven road surface, this structure allows the motor mounting base 2 to move up and down during the terrain change process, thereby causing the wheels to move up and down, so as to ensure that the wheels can also travel close to the ground on uneven roads.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figures 5-7 Each shock absorber 42 has a first shock-absorbing first connecting piece 421 at its first end, and a shock-absorbing first connecting hole 4211 is provided on the shock-absorbing first connecting piece 4211. Each shock absorber 42 has a second shock-absorbing second connecting piece 422 at its second end, and a shock-absorbing second connecting hole 4221 is provided on the shock-absorbing second connecting piece 4221.
[0046] Each linkage damping assembly 4 includes a first damping mounting component 45, which includes a first damping mounting base 451. The first damping mounting base 451 is detachably connected to the main support frame 1 facing the motor 3 via screws. Two first damping mounting protrusions 452 are fixedly provided on the side of the first damping mounting base 451 facing away from the main support frame 1, with a first damping mounting gap between the two first damping mounting protrusions 452. The first damping mounting protrusions are embedded in the first damping mounting gap. First damping mounting holes 4521 are formed on the first damping mounting protrusions 452, and a first damping shaft is detachably connected between the two first damping mounting holes 4521. A first damping connecting hole 4211 rotatably connects to the first damping shaft.
[0047] Each linkage damping assembly 4 includes a second damping mounting component 46, which includes a second damping mounting base 461. The second damping mounting base 461 is detachably connected to the motor mounting base 2 via screws. The second damping mounting base 461 is fixedly provided with two second damping mounting protrusions 462, with a second damping mounting gap between the two protrusions. The second damping mounting pieces are embedded in the second damping mounting gap. The second damping mounting protrusions 462 have second damping mounting holes 4621, and a second damping shaft is detachably connected between the two second damping mounting holes 4621. The second damping connecting hole 4221 rotatably connects to the second damping shaft.
[0048] The shock absorber 42 can quickly absorb the energy generated by road bumps through elastic deformation when the wheeled robot travels over uneven surfaces, reducing the amplitude and frequency of vibrations, effectively suppressing vehicle sway, and maintaining the stable operation of the wheeled robot. When the motor mounting base 2 moves up and down, it also undergoes lateral displacement due to the parallelogram double-link structure. Therefore, the two ends of the shock absorber 42 are rotatably connected, allowing its angle relative to the main support frame 1 to change as needed. For example, when the wheeled robot travels over uneven surfaces, the up and down movement of the motor mounting base 2 will cause the shock absorber 42 to no longer be perpendicular to the main support frame 1.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 8 The main support frame 1 is U-shaped and includes a first support rod 11 and two second support rods 12 that are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the first support rod 11. Each second support rod 12 is provided with at least two main support frame mounting holes. The hole in the middle of the main support frame 1 is used to reduce weight and avoid interference with the cooling fan 52 when installing it, making it easier to install the cooling fan 52.
[0050] Two connecting rod damping components 4 correspond one-to-one with two second bearing rods 12, and each connecting rod damping component 4 is fixedly connected to its corresponding second bearing rod 12. A damping first mounting base 451 is fixedly connected to the junction of the first bearing rod 11 and the second bearing rod 12. A connecting rod mounting side plate 41 is fixedly connected to the portion of the second bearing rod 12 away from the first bearing rod 11, and the connecting rod mounting side plate 41 has at least two side plate mounting holes for detachable connection of the second bearing rod 12. Correspondingly, the second bearing rod 12 has bearing rod connection holes corresponding to the side plate mounting holes.
[0051] A third support rod 13 is fixedly connected between the two second support rods 12, and the third support rod 13 is parallel to the first support rod 11. The third support rod 13 can enhance the structural strength of the main support frame 1.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 9 A mounting base weight reduction hole 21 is provided between the two connecting shaft through holes 445 on the same surface of the motor mounting base 2, that is, there are a total of two mounting base vibration reduction holes 21 on the motor mounting base 2.
