In order to change the structure of the steering wheel rotation detection component, the defect caused by the transmission structure of the traditional rotary encoder is overcome. Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the present utility model provides an omni-directional steering wheel module, which includes: the drive wheel device, turn to drive arrangement 4, main support 1 and steering mechanism 3, wherein still include: a magnetic rotary encoder 2, wherein the magnetic rotary encoder 2 is preferably an off-axis absolute magnetic rotary encoder comprising: a magnetic grating ruler 21 for detecting the reading head 22, wherein the steering mechanism 3 comprises: the support wheel 31 and the steering shaft 32, wherein the bottom of the steering shaft 32 is fixedly connected with the main support 1, the support wheel 31 is sleeved outside the steering shaft 32 and is in bearing connection with the steering shaft 32, and the support wheel 31 is suspended on the main support 1.
It should be noted that, in order to arrange the magnetic rotary encoder 2 in the steering mechanism 3 with compact structure as skillfully as possible and detect the coaxial rotation angle of the steering shaft 32 relative to the supporting wheel 31, in this example, a drop shape is designed between the steering shaft 32 and the top of the supporting wheel 31, so as to define a detection space 9 for accommodating the magnetic grating ruler 21 and the detecting reading head 22, wherein the magnetic grating ruler 21 is annularly arranged on the top of the steering shaft 32 and coaxially arranged with the steering shaft 32, and the detecting reading head 22 is connected to the supporting wheel 31 so as to suspend on the steering shaft 32 and place the detecting part thereof at the detecting position of the magnetic grating ruler 21.
In general, the magnetic grating ruler 21 is preferably in an unsealed ring shape, and the sector angle is larger than 180 degrees, so that the detection of a common universal steering wheel module can be met, but if special use needs are involved, the magnetic grating ruler 21 can also be in a ring shape with 360 degrees, and the arrangement does not influence the accommodation of the magnetic grating ruler in the detection space 9.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1 to 2, the steering driving apparatus 4 includes: the steering wheel 41, the reduction gear 42, steering motor 43 fixes in main support 1 first position, and it is connected with the steering wheel 41 drive through reduction gear 42, steering wheel 41 is gear engagement transmission with supporting wheel 31, drive wheel device 5 includes: the walking motor 51 and the driving wheel integrated speed reducer 52, wherein in this example, the driving wheel integrated speed reducer 52 is preferably an embedded rubber coating wheel integrated speed reducer, which is fixed at the second position of the main support 1 through a flange at one side of the embedded rubber coating wheel integrated speed reducer, and the walking motor 51 is in driving connection with the embedded rubber coating wheel integrated speed reducer.
In practical use, as shown in fig. 4, the top of the supporting wheel 31 is connected with the chassis 8 of the mobile robot to fix the relative position thereof, and the steering motor 43 and the speed reducer 42 drive the steering wheel 41 to be geared with the supporting wheel 31, meanwhile, since the steering shaft 32 is in a bearing connection with the supporting wheel 31, and the steering shaft 32 is fixed on the main support 1, at this time, the main support 1 connected with the steering motor 43 is driven to axially rotate along with the steering shaft 32 by the meshing of the steering wheel 41 and the supporting wheel 31, so as to drive the driving wheel device to form a universal rotation.
Further, in order to achieve the effect of increasing torque by decelerating, in the preferred embodiment, the number of teeth of the steering wheel 41 is smaller than the number of teeth of the outer ring of the supporting wheel 31.

At this time, the supporting wheel 31 and the steering shaft 32 are coaxially connected, so that once the steering shaft 32 rotates, the magnetic grating ruler 21 is driven to coaxially rotate correspondingly, and the magnetic grating ruler reading head 23 can determine the rotation angle data by utilizing the change of the magnetic field through magnetic induction.
Therefore, after the universal steering wheel module is mounted on the vehicle body, the steering driving device 4 drives the driving wheel device to a mechanical zero position, namely, after the advancing direction of the wheels is parallel to the vehicle body, the mobile robot control unit 7 sets the numerical value read by the magnetic grating ruler reading head 23 to be 0 value, and zero calibration of the rotation angle can be realized for subsequent rotation angle measurement.
Therefore, the magnetic rotary encoder 2 is accommodated in the steering mechanism 3 by means of the structural fall, and the annular magnetic grating 21 and the detection reading head 22 are arranged corresponding to the steering structure of the steering mechanism 3, so that the absolute position of the magnetic grating reading head 23 is determined by means of the change of the magnetic field. On the basis of replacing the original traditional code disc and encoder, the compact design structure is realized, and meanwhile, in use, the magnetic grating ruler reading head 23 and the magnetic grating ruler 21 have the characteristics of shock resistance, corrosion resistance, pollution resistance, high reliability and simple structure, and the problem that the angle measurement is inaccurate due to stains on the surface of the magnetic grating ruler 21 after long-time running can be effectively prevented.
