Abstract

A triphibian omnidirectional wheel, which changes a traditional wheel structure and can achieve 360-degree omnidirectional steering. When in a land driving mode: sea-air dual-purpose upper and lower propellers of the wheel are adjusted to face left and right; when in a waterway driving mode: the sea-air dual-purpose upper and lower propellers (7, 15) of the wheel are adjusted to face backward; and when in a flight mode: the sea-air dual-purpose upper and lower propellers (7, 15) of the wheel are adjusted to face upward. Through the described operations, switching among the sea, land and air modes is realized, the requirements for multi-angle adjustment are satisfied, and the sea and air driving modes are also provided in addition to the land driving mode, providing more driving options for customers, and increasing driving experience.

Description

Amphibious universal wheel Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to automobile wheel steering structure technology. Background Art

[0002] Most existing vehicles have steering wheels at the front that can rotate freely but cannot turn 360 degrees, and fixed wheels at the rear that cannot rotate freely. This method is fine during normal driving, but when parking sideways or turning around on narrow roads, it requires certain skills and experience, and the operation is very troublesome. Even experienced drivers find it difficult to operate, not to mention novice drivers. The driving mode is also relatively simple and can only be driven on land. Therefore, the steering method of the vehicle needs to be improved. Technical issues

[0003] Most of the existing vehicles have front wheels as steering wheels, which can rotate freely but cannot turn 360 degrees. The rear wheels are fixed wheels and cannot rotate freely. The driving mode is also relatively simple and can only be driven on land. Technical Solutions

[0004] In response to the above problems, a three-dimensional universal wheel suitable for land, sea and air has been designed. It changes the traditional wheel structure and can turn 360 degrees up, down, left and right to meet the needs of multi-angle adjustment. In addition to the land driving mode, it also has the sea and air driving mode, giving it three driving modes, providing customers with more driving options and enhancing the driving experience. Beneficial effects

[0005] The wheels have a 360-degree steering structure that solves the difficulties of parallel parking and enables U-turns on the spot. It also has three driving modes: land, sea, and air, providing customers with more driving options and enhancing the driving experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0006] Figure 1 shows the structure of the amphibious universal wheel, while Figure 2 shows the vehicle's driving mode. The components include: 1. Upper flight tire 2, T-shaped steering gear ring 3, buckle 1 slider 4, buckle 1 fixing block 5, rotating drum 6, lower buckle 7 of the rotating drum, upper dual-purpose propeller 8, motor shaft 9, buckle 2 fixing block 10, buckle 2 slider 11, rotating drum shaft 12, upper buckle 13 of the rotating drum, lower bearing 14, pinion 15, lower dual-purpose propeller 16, lower flight tire 17, dual-shaft motor 18, and upper bearing of the rotating drum. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] When in use, 13, the lower bearing of the rotating drum, 18, the upper bearing of the rotating drum are installed on the vehicle body, and the amphibious universal wheel can switch between the sea, land and air driving modes by adjusting 3, the slider of buckle 1, 4, the fixing block of buckle 1, 9, the fixing block of buckle 2, 10, the slider of buckle 2, 12, the buckle on the rotating drum, 6, and the buckle under the rotating drum. The principle is as follows: when 12, the upper buckle of the rotating drum and 6, the lower buckle of the rotating drum are clamped, 3, the slider of buckle 1, 4, the fixed block of buckle 1 and 9, the fixed block of buckle 2, 10, the slider of buckle 2 are opened, the rotating drum is fixed, and the 2, T-shaped steering gear ring is rotated to drive 14, the small gear, thereby driving 11, the rotating shaft, thereby controlling the up and down rotation of the wheel; when 12, the upper buckle of the rotating drum and 6, the lower buckle of the rotating drum are opened, 3, the slider of buckle 1, 4, the fixed block of buckle 1 and 9, the fixed block of buckle 2, 10, the slider of buckle 2 are clamped, 14, the small gear and 11, the rotating shaft are fixed, and the 2, T-shaped steering gear ring is rotated to drive the rotating drum to rotate left and right, thereby controlling the left and right direction of the wheel. Based on the above principle, the specific implementation method is as follows: when in land driving mode: adjust the upper and lower propellers of the wheel for sea and air dual-purpose to the left and right direction; when in water driving mode: adjust the upper and lower propellers of the wheel for sea and air dual-purpose to the rear direction; when in flight mode: adjust the upper and lower propellers of the wheel for sea and air dual-purpose to the upward direction. The above operations are used to switch between land, sea and air modes. Industrial Applicability

[0008] It has changed the traditional fixed wheel structure and realized a 360-degree steering structure for the wheels, solving the difficulty of parallel parking and realizing U-turns on the spot. It also has three driving modes: sea, land and air, providing customers with more driving options and enhancing the driving experience.
