In a preferred embodiment, as in some prior art, a locking device is also provided in the deformation drive motor for locking the deformation drive motor.
The working principle and the working flow of the invention are as follows:
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 4, when the deformable wheel is in a wheel-type normal operation, the transmission shaft is driven by a driving device such as a power motor to rotate by driving the wheel disc 1 to drive the deformable wheel to roll forward or backward, and at this time, the deformable driving motor does not work and is locked, so that the wheel disc 1 and the deformable disc 2 do not rotate relatively. The first pin 33, the second pin 43, and the third pin 53 are respectively located at a first position, a third position, and a fifth position in the first chute, the second chute, and the third chute.
When encountering an obstacle, the deformable wheel needs to be switched into a spoke shape, at this time, the deformation driving motor starts to rotate clockwise, the deformation driving motor output shaft drives the deformation disc 2 to rotate clockwise relative to the wheel disc 1, and the first pin 33, the second pin 43 and the third pin 53 slide in the first chute, the second chute and the third chute respectively at the same time, so as to drive the first crank connecting rod mechanism, the second crank connecting rod mechanism and the third crank connecting rod mechanism respectively, thereby realizing the deformation of the deformable wheel. In this process, the first crank 32, the second crank 42, and the third crank 52 may be considered as the cranks in the respective crank and rocker mechanisms; the first, second, and third crank links 34, 44, 54 may be considered as crank links in respective crank and rocker mechanisms; the first spoke fixing base 37, the second spoke fixing base 47 and the third spoke fixing base 57 can be regarded as rocker links in respective crank rocker mechanisms; the wheel discs 1 may be regarded as rockers in respective crank-rocker mechanisms.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the first pin 33, the second pin 43, and the third pin 53 move to the second position, the fourth position, and the sixth position in the first chute, the second chute, and the third chute, respectively, the first crank link mechanism, the second crank link mechanism, and the third crank link mechanism are all located at the open dead point positions where the cranks are reversely collinear with the crank links, that is, the first crank 32, the second crank 42, and the third crank 52 are reversely collinear with the first crank link 34, the second crank link 44, and the third crank link 54, respectively, and the mechanism is located at the open dead point positions. And meanwhile, the deformation driving motor stops working and is self-locked according to a preset program. In a preferred embodiment, the preset program is a rotation angle of the deformable disc 2 relative to the wheel disc 1, and the operator can calculate the rotation angle of the deformable disc 2 relative to the wheel disc 1 and set the rotation angle to the deformation driving motor when the deformable wheel is switched from the wheel-type configuration to the spoke-type configuration according to the size of the deformable wheel.
When the deformable wheel passes through the obstacle and needs to be switched into a wheel type form, the deformation driving motor starts to rotate anticlockwise, the deformation driving motor output shaft drives the deformation disc 2 to rotate anticlockwise relative to the wheel disc 1, the first pin 33, the second pin 43 and the third pin 53 slide in the first sliding groove, the second sliding groove and the third sliding groove respectively at the same time, and the first crank connecting rod mechanism, the second crank connecting rod mechanism and the third crank connecting rod mechanism are driven respectively, so that the deformation of the deformable wheel is realized. In this process, the first crank 32, the second crank 42, and the third crank 52 may be considered as the cranks in the respective crank and rocker mechanisms; the first, second, and third crank links 34, 44, 54 may be considered as crank links in respective crank and rocker mechanisms; the first spoke fixing base 37, the second spoke fixing base 47 and the third spoke fixing base 57 can be regarded as rocker links in respective crank rocker mechanisms; the wheel discs 1 may be regarded as rockers in respective crank-rocker mechanisms.
As shown in fig. 1 and 4, when the first pin 33, the second pin 43, and the third pin 53 move to the first position, the third position, and the fifth position in the first chute, the second chute, and the third chute, respectively, the first crank link mechanism, the second crank link mechanism, and the third crank link mechanism are all located at the closed dead point positions where the cranks are in direct alignment with the crank links, that is, the first crank 32, the second crank 42, and the third crank 52 are in direct alignment with the first crank link 34, the second crank link 44, and the third crank link 54, respectively, and the mechanism is in the closed dead point positions. And meanwhile, the deformation driving motor stops working and is self-locked according to a preset program.
According to the invention, the crank rocker mechanism in the deformed spoke part is driven to reach the closed dead point position and the open dead point position respectively by the rotation driving motor of the deformed disk, so that the transformation from the wheel type form to the spoke form of the deformable wheel is realized, and the obstacle crossing capability and the external impact resistance capability of the single-degree-of-freedom deformable wheel are improved.
The invention also provides a mobile device comprising said deformable wheel, such as a robot, a vehicle or the like. The invention moves to the mobile equipment, so that the mobility and obstacle surmounting capability of the mobile equipment can be effectively improved. The invention can enable the movable equipment to rapidly move on different terrains by changing the shapes of the wheels according to the characteristics of different terrains, and improves the adaptability and obstacle surmounting capability of the movable equipment with the wheels of the invention to different terrains.
