Specifically, the chassis suspension mechanism 1 may include:
at least two articulation chains 100, which are arranged between the wheel seat 2 and the chassis main body 3 and are used for realizing the linear motion of the wheel seat 2 relative to the chassis main body 3 in the preset direction; the articulation chain 100 comprises at least: the first chain plate 101 is used for being rotationally connected with the chassis main body 3, and the second chain plate 102 is rotationally connected with the wheel seat 2;
a movement plane formed by one of the at least two articulation chains 100 is not parallel to a movement plane formed by the other articulation chains 100, and the movement plane is a plane in which the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102 perform relative movement.
First, the specific number, shape, structure and arrangement position of the articulation chains 100 are not limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art can design articulation chains 100 with different numbers, different shapes, structures and arrangement positions according to specific design requirements. For example: the number of the articulation chains 100 may be 2, 3, or 4, etc., and the shape structure of at least two of the articulation chains 100 may be the same or different, or a part of the articulation chains 100 of at least two of the articulation chains 100 may be the same and another part of the articulation chains 100 may be different; for example: the length of any two articulation chains 100 of the at least two articulation chains 100 may be the same; alternatively, the lengths of any two of the at least two articulation chains 100 may be different, and so on. In addition, the arrangement of the at least two articulation chains 100 may be a symmetrical arrangement or any arrangement as long as it is ensured that one of the at least two articulation chains 100 is not parallel to the plane of motion formed by the other articulation chains 100, and the only direction of motion of the wheel base 2 can be determined by the two non-parallel planes of motion.
It is to be understood that when the number of the articulation chains 100 is plural, it is only necessary that one of the articulation chains 100 is not parallel to the plane of motion formed by any of the other articulation chains 100, and in this case, the plurality of articulation chains 100 may include two articulation chains 100 whose planes of motion are parallel to each other. For example: the plurality of articulated links 100 include a first articulated link, a second articulated link, a third articulated link, and a fourth articulated link, the articulated links form planes of motion that are a first plane, a second plane, a third plane, and a fourth plane, respectively, and the positional relationship between the planes of motion for the first plane may be: the first plane is not parallel to the second plane, the first plane is parallel to or not parallel to the third plane, and the first plane is parallel to or not parallel to the fourth plane.
In addition, at least two articulation chains 100 in the chassis suspension mechanism 1 can realize that the wheel seat 2 moves linearly in a preset direction relative to the chassis main body 3 under the action of the chassis main body 3, and the preset direction at this time can be the design direction of the suspension mechanism, for example, the preset direction can be a vertical direction, or when the chassis suspension mechanism 1 is in an inclined state, the preset direction can also be a suitable inclined direction.
Further, the articulated chain 100 in the present embodiment may include not only the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102 but also the third link plate and the fourth link plate, that is: the number of link plates included in the articulated chain 100 is not limited to two, and those skilled in the art can arbitrarily set the number of link plates according to the suspension stroke of the wheel seat 2 to be satisfied. When the articulation chain 100 includes the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102, the articulation chain 100 has two degrees of freedom, and the embodiment is not limited to the specific shape structure and the connection manner of the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102, and those skilled in the art can arbitrarily set according to specific design requirements, for example: the first link plate 101 can be connected to the second link plate 102 by a pin 103, and the first link plate 101 can rotate within a predetermined angle range relative to the second link plate 102. Optionally, in order to ensure stable and reliable connection between the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102, a buffer 105 for reducing friction force may be disposed at the rotational connection between the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102, wherein the specific shape and structure of the buffer 105 are not limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art may arbitrarily set the buffer 105 according to the function implemented by the buffer, for example, the buffer 105 may be a gasket or a bearing, etc.; the buffer 105 is provided to allow the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102 to stably rotate relative to each other around the pin 103. In addition, the specific shape structures of the first link plate 101 and the second link plate 102 may be the same or different, for example: the length of the first link plate 101 is equal to the length of the second link plate 102; or the length of the first link plate 101 is different from the length of the second link plate 102; the shape structure of the first link plate 101 may be a rectangular parallelepiped structure or a square structure, and the shape structure of the second link plate 102 may be the same as or different from that of the first link plate 101.
During specific work, the chassis main body 3 can transmit acting force to the first chain plate 101, at this moment, the first chain plate 101 can rotate relative to the second chain plate 102 under the driving of the acting force, and the second chain plate 102 can rotate relative to the wheel seat 2 under the driving of the acting force of the first chain plate 101, so that the acting force can be transmitted to the wheel seat 2, the wheel seat 2 can do linear motion in the suspended design direction relative to the chassis main body 3, then the wheel seat 2 can transmit the acting force to the driving wheel, and the driving wheel can be pressed on the ground with preset pressure.
For ease of understanding, the working principle of the chassis suspension mechanism 1 is illustrated: when the number of the articulation chains 100 is two, the two articulation chains 100 may be provided at an arbitrary position, and for example, the two articulation chains 100 may include: the left articulation chain 100 disposed on the left side of the wheel base 2 and the right articulation chain 100 disposed on the right side of the wheel base 2, in which case the left articulation chain 100 and the right articulation chain 100 may be disposed in a symmetrical or asymmetrical configuration. The movement plane formed by the left articulation chain 100 is a first plane, the movement plane formed by the right articulation chain 100 is a second plane, and the first plane and the second plane are not parallel. During specific work, the two joint motion chains 100 rotate relatively under the action of the chassis main body 3, at the moment, the two joint motion chains 100 serve as rotary joints to transmit acting force to the wheel seat 2 from the chassis main body 3, so that the wheel seat 2 can do linear motion relative to the chassis main body 3 under the action of the two joint motion chains 100, and the process of realizing the linear motion through the rotary joints is effectively realized.
When the number of the articulation chains 100 is larger than two, the number of the articulation chains 100 is described as three, and as shown in fig. 2, the three articulation chains 100 are provided at arbitrary positions, for example: the three articulation chains 100 may include: set up in the left side articulated chain 100 of wheel seat 2 left side, set up in the middle part articulated chain 100 of wheel seat 2 middle part and set up in the right side articulated chain 100 on wheel seat 2 right side, at this moment, left side articulated chain 100 and right side articulated chain 100 can be symmetrical structure setting for middle part articulated chain 100, perhaps, also can be asymmetrical structure setting. As can be seen from fig. 2, the movement plane of the middle articulated chain 100 is P1, and the movement plane of the right articulated chain 100 is P2, in which case the movement plane P1 is not parallel to the movement plane P2, and in particular, the movement plane P1 and the movement plane P2 may be perpendicular to each other. Through the middle part articulated chain 100 and the right side articulated chain 100 that set up, can guarantee effectively that wheel seat 2 is linear motion for chassis main part 3, and the left side articulated chain 100 that sets up can improve this chassis suspension mechanism 1's rigidity effectively for suspension mechanism 1 is receiving external force in the chassis, be difficult to take place to warp and skew, and then has guaranteed the reliable and stable nature that suspension mechanism 1 used.
The chassis suspension mechanism 1 provided by this embodiment, through at least two articulation chains 100 arranged between the wheel seat 2 and the chassis main body 3, can realize that the wheel seat 2 performs linear motion in a preset direction relative to the chassis main body 3, wherein all the articulation chains 100 in the chassis suspension mechanism 1 are formed by rotatable joints, and compared with a linear motion pair in the existing suspension mechanism, the chassis suspension mechanism has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient installation and maintenance, and meanwhile, the accuracy of motion control can be ensured, thereby effectively improving the stability and reliability of the use of the chassis suspension mechanism 1.
On the basis of the above embodiments, as can be seen by referring to fig. 1 to 3, the specific implementation manner of the rotational connection between the first link plate 101 and the chassis main body 3 is not limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art may arbitrarily set according to specific design requirements, for example: the first link plate 101 may be directly pivotally connected to the chassis body 3 by a pin 103, and so on. Preferably, the first link plate 101 in this embodiment may be connected to the chassis main body 3 through a first connecting member, wherein the connecting joint of the first link plate 101 and the first connecting member 104 is a rotating joint.

When the first connecting member 104 is a structure separately provided and connected to the first link plate 101 and the chassis body 3, the first connecting member 104 may have a plate-like structure for facilitating connection of the first link plate 101 and the chassis body 3. Specifically, the first link plate 101 and the first connecting member 104 may be rotatably connected to each other, and the first connecting member 104 and the chassis body 3 may be fixedly connected to each other by a connecting member, wherein the connecting member may be: screws, bolts, studs, or adhesives, etc.; at this time, the first link plate 101 can rotate relative to the first link member 104, and the first link member 104 is fixedly connected to the chassis body 3, so that the first link plate 101 can rotate relative to the chassis body 3.

Further, it is conceivable that in at least two of the articulated chains 100 each first link plate 101 is connected to the chassis body 3 by a first connecting member 104, the first connecting member 104 connected to each first link plate 101 may be provided at different positions of the chassis body 3, for example: the first articulation chain 100 and the second articulation chain 100 may be connected to the chassis body 3 by a first link 104 provided at a first position and a first link 104 provided at a second position, respectively.
Optionally, in order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the first link plate 101 and the chassis main body 3, a buffer 105 for reducing friction may be disposed at the rotational connection between the first link plate 101 and the chassis main body 3, wherein the specific shape and structure of the buffer 105 are not limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art may arbitrarily set according to the function implemented by the buffer 105, for example, the buffer 105 may be a gasket or a bearing, etc. Through the arranged buffer piece 105, the smooth movement of the chassis main body 3 and the first chain plate 101 can be effectively ensured; specifically, when the first link plate 101 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 104, the buffer member 105 may be disposed at the rotational connection position of the first link plate 101 and the first connecting member 104; when the first connecting member 104 is rotatably connected to the chassis main body 3, the buffer member 105 may be disposed at the rotational connection position of the chassis main body 3 and the first connecting member 104.

On the basis of the above embodiments, as can be seen from the following fig. 1 to 3, the specific implementation manner of the rotational connection between the second link plate 102 and the wheel seat 2 in this embodiment is not limited, and those skilled in the art may arbitrarily set according to specific design requirements, for example: the second link plate 102 may be directly rotatably connected to the wheel base 2 via a pin 103, and so on. Preferably, the second link plate 102 in this embodiment may be connected to the wheel seat 2 through a second connecting member, wherein the connecting joint between the second link plate 102 and the second connecting member 201 is a rotating joint.
