The drive shaft 30 may be provided in plurality at positions corresponding to both sides of the housing 20, and the driving wheel 10 is coupled to each drive shaft 30 as described below. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the case in which the driving shaft 30 and the driving wheel 10 are four is illustrated as an example, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 2, the driving wheel 10 includes a driving center 11 in the center, a driving groove 12 through which the driving shaft 30 penetrates in the center of the driving center 11, and the driving center 11. It comprises a plurality of wheel frame 13 extending in the radial direction from the) and the arcuate ground support portion 14 formed at each end of the wheel frame (13). As described above, the driving wheel 10 may be provided in plurality in corresponding positions on both sides of the housing 20.

The drive center 11 is located at the center of rotation of the drive wheel 10, the drive groove 12 is formed in the center thereof. The drive shaft 30 connected to the rotation shaft of the drive motor inside the housing 20 is inserted into the drive groove 12. For this reason, when the driving motor rotates, the rotational force may be transmitted to the driving wheel 10.

The plurality of wheel frames 13 extend in a radial direction away from the center of the driving center 11 and / or the driving groove 12 and the driving wheel 10 driven by the rotation of the plurality of wheel frames 13. In order to smoothly drive, the lengths of the plurality of wheel frames 13 may be the same. In addition, the plurality of ground support parts 14 formed at the ends of the plurality of wheel frames 13 provided in one driving wheel 10 may be located on the same circumference. That is, the plurality of ground support portions 14 may be configured to form a circumference to perform the function of a circular wheel.

Referring to FIG. 2, an example in which a plurality of wheel frames 13 are provided for each driving wheel 10 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the wheel frames 13 may be stably driven. The number may be three or more. However, when the plurality of wheel frames 13 are provided in the same manner as the general circular wheels, the number of the plurality of wheel frames 13 may be adjusted within a range that does not reduce the rough terrain capability.

An arc-shaped ground support 14 is provided at each end of the plurality of wheel frames 13, specifically, at the distal end with respect to the driving center 11. The ground support part 14 may be integrally formed with the wheel frame 13, and may be separately formed and then coupled with the wheel frame 13.

The ground support part 14 is a part which comes into contact with the actual ground when the driving shaft 30 is rotated by the rotation of the driving motor and the driving wheel 10 rotates. Since the ground support portion 14 is formed at the end of each wheel frame 13, each ground support portion 14 sequentially generates a propulsive force in contact with the ground in the rotational direction.

Since the arc-shaped radius of each ground support 14 is equal to the length of the wheel frame 13 extending in the radial direction from the driving center 11, even if different ground supports 14 are in contact with the ground sequentially, Due to this, the height of the supported housing 20 can be kept uniform.

The surface coating layer 15 may be further added to the outer surface of the ground support 14, that is, the surface contacting the ground. The ground support part 14 may further include a surface coating layer 15 made of a material such as rubber so as to increase friction with the ground because the ground supporting portion 14 obtains a driving force forward by friction with the ground while rotating about the rotation axis. .

Next, the driving principle of the vane wheel drive assembly according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D.

When the plurality of drive wheels 10 provided in the wing type wheel drive assembly 100 according to the present embodiment receives rotational force by the drive motor, the wheel frame 13 and the wheel frame 13 constituting the drive wheel 10 ( The ground support 14 formed at the end of 13 rotates so that the wheel drive assembly 100 faces forward.

The wing wheel drive assembly 100 according to the present embodiment may be used for various purposes. For example, it may be driven for the purpose of searching for areas where it is difficult for a person to search directly. In this case, the area is rarely composed of flat plains. Rather, there are many rough areas such as obstacles or gravel or rocks. There is a high possibility that the terrain is difficult to drive because there are a large number, and in addition, there is a high possibility that it is an area in which a step is difficult to drive with a general circular wheel.

Therefore, in this case, the drive assembly having a general circular wheel cannot reach the desired area, and the user cannot accurately obtain the desired information.

On the other hand, in the case of the wing-shaped wheel drive assembly 100 according to the present embodiment, a circular wheel is formed in the overall appearance to be smoothly driven on a flat surface, formed at the end of each wheel frame 13 to be a predetermined distance from each other It is possible to easily pass the step or obstacle formed in the rough terrain by a plurality of ground support 14 spaced apart.

In the case of the circular wheel drive assembly, when the step R is reached, the step R cannot be exceeded unless a predetermined friction force and a predetermined torque applied to the wheel are not applied. In particular, when the height of the step R is higher than the radius of the circular wheel, no matter how much torque is applied, it cannot be exceeded.

On the other hand, since the wing-type wheel drive assembly 100 according to the present embodiment can be seated on the upper surface of the step (R) while the wheel frame 13 and ground support portion 14 formed independently of each other, the wheel frame ( The length of 13), that is, may exceed the step (R) higher than the radius of the drive wheel 10 according to the present embodiment.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the driving wheel 10 rotates in the clockwise direction and the entire wing type wheel driving assembly 100 proceeds in the right direction, the driving wheel 10 approaching the step R is Different wheel frames 13 rotate sequentially in a clockwise direction, and then a predetermined wheel frame 13 rotates in a clockwise direction and is blocked by an upper surface of the step R, so that the wheels no longer rotate clockwise.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 3C, when the rotational force of the driving motor continuously rotating in the clockwise direction is transmitted to the wheel frame 13 and the ground support part 14 caught on the upper surface of the step R, the upper part of the step R. Reaction by the force of the ground support 14 applied against the face causes a portion of the entire winged wheel drive assembly 100 to rise to the top surface of the step R as shown.

This same process is equally applied to the wheel frame 13 and the ground support 14 of the rear axle, and by the reaction applied to the vane wheel drive assembly 100 from the upper surface of the step R, FIG. As shown, the entire vane wheel drive assembly 100 is located on the upper surface of the step R.

Wing-wheel drive assembly 100 according to the present embodiment is the drive wheel 10 is composed of a wing-shaped wheel frame 13 and the ground support 14, it can easily exceed this when encountering a step or obstacle. Because of this, it is possible to travel from the rough to the destination quickly and stably.

Next, the driving wheel 10 constituting the vane wheel driving assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a view showing the drive wheel 10 of the wing wheel drive assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

And a driving wheel 10 having a plurality of extending wheel frames 13, wherein each end of the plurality of wheel frames 13 is formed with an arc-shaped ground support 14, and the ground support 14. Is generated by the rotation of the drive motor in order to sequentially contact the ground forward propulsion force, the ground support 14 is formed on the outer surface of the irregularities, the wheel frame 13 of the ground support 14 It is connected to the center part.

Unlike the winged wheel drive assembly according to the previous embodiment, the drive wheel 10 constituting the winged wheel drive assembly according to the present embodiment has a different structure of the ground support (14). That is, as shown in the structure of the ground support part 14 according to the previous embodiment, it is extended to one side with respect to the wheel frame 13 so that the ground support part 14 having an arc shape is not formed, but is based on the wheel frame 13. By extending to both sides to form an arc-shaped ground support portion 14, the wheel frame 13 that is vertically connected to the ground support portion 14 is connected to the center portion of the ground support portion (14). However, this corresponds to an exemplary configuration, and the point at which the ground support 14 and the wheel frame 13 are connected to each other may be a point other than the center portion.

In addition, since the irregularities are formed on the surface of the ground support portion 14 in contact with the ground, the driving force of the ground support 14 may be improved.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be manufactured in various forms within the scope of the present invention, and the present invention Those skilled in the art will understand that it can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention, the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and limited It is not limited to form.
