The entire contents of the above applications are incorporated by reference in this disclosure.
技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及一种悬架结构,其可以使在工厂自动化等中所使用的自动导引车辆(automated guided vehicle)在不平整的地面,也能始终实现保持水平及驱动轴的接地,并且上述悬架结构不具有上下弹性,本申请例如涉及一种自动导引车辆的无弹性悬架结构。The present application relates to a suspension structure, which can make an automated guided vehicle (automated guided vehicle) used in factory automation, etc., on uneven ground, and can always achieve the leveling and grounding of the drive shaft, and the above suspension The frame structure does not have upper and lower elasticity. The present application relates to an inelastic suspension structure for automatically guiding vehicles, for example.
背景技术Background technique
自动导引车辆用于:在工厂自动化系统或仓库自动化系统等,通过接收来自系统控制部的输入信号将装载物以无人驾驶的方式移送至比较远的距离的目的地。Automated guided vehicles are used in factory automation systems or warehouse automation systems, etc., to receive loads from the system control unit and transfer the load to a relatively long distance destination in a driverless manner.
在自动导引车辆的运作中,跟踪车辆的位置及行驶是非常重要的。为此,控制结构被设计为从多个传感器接收车辆信息来执行反馈控制(feedback control)。In the operation of automatic guided vehicles, it is very important to track the position and driving of the vehicle. To this end, the control structure is designed to receive vehicle information from multiple sensors to perform feedback control.
尽管如此,也会存在使自动导引车辆难以运作的各种外部因素,其中一个因素是不平整的地面。在将传统的普通工厂改造成无人自动化工厂时,可能特别容易发生上述问题。而且,即使在最初被调平的工厂中,经过多次的设备变更或者地面的老化,地面的平坦性也会降低而发生上述问题。Nonetheless, there will be various external factors that make it difficult for automatic guided vehicles to operate, one of which is uneven ground. When transforming a conventional ordinary factory into an unmanned automated factory, the above problems may be particularly prone to occur. Moreover, even in the factory that was initially leveled, the flatness of the ground will be reduced after many equipment changes or the aging of the ground, and the above-mentioned problems will occur.
当自动导引车辆在不平坦的地面上行驶时,会存在轮胎中的一部分悬空的问题,并且,当悬空的轮胎连接于驱动轴时,会存在行驶方向偏移的问题。鉴于在最大程度地利用较快速度的同时,以与其他障碍物以最小距离接近且经过的方式运行的情况,上述问题大大增加了与结构物或其他车辆的碰撞的隐患。When the automatic guided vehicle runs on uneven ground, there is a problem that a part of the tires are suspended, and when the suspended tire is connected to the drive shaft, there is a problem that the driving direction is deviated. In view of the fact that the maximum speed is utilized at the same time, the situation of running at a minimum distance from other obstacles and passing by, the above problems greatly increase the hidden danger of collision with structures or other vehicles.
自动导引车辆通过自动化机器人实现物品装卸,因此为了始终保持恒定的高度,与普通轿车不同地,可不用具有弹性的悬架。The automatic guided vehicle realizes the loading and unloading of items through an automated robot. Therefore, in order to maintain a constant height at all times, unlike ordinary cars, elastic suspensions are not necessary.

图1为示出将采用根据本发明实施例的悬架结构的自动导引车辆(以下,称为“车辆”)分离的图。FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating separation of an automatic guided vehicle (hereinafter, referred to as “vehicle”) employing a suspension structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
在形成车辆外形的结构物10的下部结合有框部(sash)20,在该框部20结合有4个驱动轮组件(drive wheel assembly)。在图示的实施例中,后方的两个驱动轮组件30L、30R适用了本申请所期望的悬架结构,前方的两个驱动轮组件30采用了其直接固定于框部20的结构。在另一个实施例中,可以设置可自由旋转的普通车轮来替换前方的两个驱动轮组件。A sash 20 is coupled to the lower portion of the structure 10 that forms the outer shape of the vehicle, and four drive wheel assemblies are coupled to the sash 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the two rear drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R are adapted to the suspension structure desired by the present application, and the two front drive wheel assemblies 30 are directly fixed to the frame 20. In another embodiment, a freely rotating ordinary wheel can be provided to replace the two drive wheel assemblies in front.
参照图2,驱动轮组件30L、30R具有车轮331,并且驱动轮组件30L、30R包括:驱动电机部332,使车轮331沿正向或反向旋转;以及转向电机部321,使车轮以垂直轴为中心旋转。Referring to FIG. 2, the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R have wheels 331, and the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R include: a drive motor section 332 to rotate the wheels 331 in a forward or reverse direction; and a steering motor section 321 to cause the wheels to have a vertical axis Rotate for the center.
底板(base plate)31的下表面结合有可旋转的转向板32,通过转向电机部321的运转,转向板32可相对于底板31在水平面上旋转。以使转向板32相对于底板31旋转的方式连接的结构、以及用于旋转转向板32的结构可以采用相关技术中的结构。The lower surface of the base plate 31 is coupled with a rotatable steering plate 32, and the steering plate 32 can rotate on a horizontal plane relative to the base plate 31 by the operation of the steering motor portion 321. The structure in the related art may be adopted as the structure connected to rotate the steering plate 32 relative to the bottom plate 31 and the structure for rotating the steering plate 32.
结合有车轮331及驱动电机部332的托架33固定在转向板32的下部。The bracket 33 that combines the wheel 331 and the drive motor portion 332 is fixed to the lower portion of the steering plate 32.
由此,驱动轮组件30L、30R可以使车轮331沿正向或反向旋转,并且可以控制车轮331的行驶方向。这种驱动轮组件30L、30R可以采用已常用的各种产品中的一种。Thereby, the driving wheel assemblies 30L, 30R can rotate the wheels 331 in the forward direction or the reverse direction, and can control the traveling direction of the wheels 331. Such drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R can use one of various products that have been commonly used.
位于框部20后方左右的驱动轮组件30L、30R通过垂直引导部件40结合于框部20。The drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R located on the left and right behind the frame portion 20 are coupled to the frame portion 20 via the vertical guide member 40.
在图示的实施例中,垂直引导部件40为多个直线导轨(linear motion guide,LM guide)。在一些实施例中,直线导轨的外壳41固定于框部20,并且在上述外壳41自由延伸的杆部42固定驱动轮组件的底板31。In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical guide member 40 is a plurality of linear guides (LM guides). In some embodiments, the housing 41 of the linear guide is fixed to the frame portion 20, and the lever portion 42 that extends freely on the housing 41 fixes the bottom plate 31 of the driving wheel assembly.
通过在一个驱动轮组件并排设置多个直线导轨,驱动轮组件可以稳定地安装在框部。并且,可以可靠地约束驱动轮组件仅上下移动。By arranging a plurality of linear guide rails side by side in one driving wheel assembly, the driving wheel assembly can be stably mounted on the frame portion. Also, it is possible to reliably restrict the drive wheel assembly to move only up and down.
在一些实施例中,垂直引导部件可以变更为能够确保自由直线移动的各种机构或装置。在一些实施例中,还可以将减震器(shock absorber)等与直线移动机构等一起使用,上述减震器具有小于框部或放置于框部上的结构物的负载 的弹性。In some embodiments, the vertical guide member may be changed to various mechanisms or devices capable of ensuring free linear movement. In some embodiments, a shock absorber (shock absorber) or the like can also be used together with a linear movement mechanism or the like. The shock absorber has an elasticity smaller than the load of the frame or the structure placed on the frame.
框部20结合有以可自由旋转的方式固定的旋转轴50,第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B以偏离旋转轴50的轴中心的方式固定于旋转轴50的两端部。第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B与旋转轴50一体形成,并与旋转轴50一起旋转。The frame portion 20 is coupled with a rotation shaft 50 rotatably fixed, and the first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B are fixed to both end portions of the rotation shaft 50 so as to be offset from the axis center of the rotation shaft 50. The first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B are formed integrally with the rotating shaft 50 and rotate together with the rotating shaft 50.
在一些实施例中,第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B为相同的剖面形状,并且相对于旋转轴50的轴中心偏心的方向为相反方向。In some embodiments, the first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B have the same cross-sectional shape, and the direction of eccentricity with respect to the axis center of the rotating shaft 50 is the opposite direction.
在一些实施例中,偏心方向是指从圆形的凸轮部件60A、60B的中心朝向旋转轴50的剖面中心的方向矢量(direction vector)。在一些实施例中,参照图3,偏心方向由第一凸轮部件60A从旋转轴50的中心偏心的方向(参照箭头p1)以及第二凸轮部件60B从旋转轴50的中心偏心的方向(参照箭头p2)表示,并且两者为相反方向。In some embodiments, the eccentric direction refers to a direction vector from the center of the circular cam members 60A, 60B toward the center of the cross section of the rotating shaft 50. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the eccentric direction is the direction in which the first cam member 60A is eccentric from the center of the rotating shaft 50 (refer to arrow p1) and the direction in which the second cam member 60B is eccentric from the center of the rotating shaft 50 (refer to arrow p2), and the two are in opposite directions.
在一些实施例中,旋转轴50由设置于框部20的轴支撑部52约束而固定其位置,第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B分别接触驱动轮组件30L、30R的上端面。In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 50 is constrained by the shaft support portion 52 provided in the frame portion 20 to fix its position, and the first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B contact the upper end surfaces of the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R, respectively.
由此,左右的驱动轮组件30L、30R无弹性地承受框部20及结构物的负载。前方的驱动轮组件直接固定于框部的下部,因此,框部及结构物以无弹性的方式由驱动轮组件支撑。As a result, the left and right drive wheel assemblies 30L and 30R elastically receive the load of the frame 20 and the structure. The front driving wheel assembly is directly fixed to the lower part of the frame, so the frame and the structure are supported by the driving wheel assembly in an inelastic manner.
再次参照图1及图2,在一些实施例中,支撑块311在驱动轮组件30L、30R的上部突出,框部20形成有供支撑块311穿过的通孔21。Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the support block 311 protrudes above the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R, and the frame portion 20 is formed with a through hole 21 through which the support block 311 passes.
并且,旋转轴50、第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B设置于框部20的上部。第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B设置成接触通过各个通孔21而暴露的驱动轮组件30L、30R的支撑块311的上端面。In addition, the rotating shaft 50, the first cam member 60A, and the second cam member 60B are provided on the upper portion of the frame portion 20. The first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B are provided so as to contact the upper end surface of the support block 311 of the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R exposed through the through holes 21.
这些构成要素的配置结构降低了车辆的离地高度,因此,可以尽可能地降低车辆的重心,从而能够获得在提高车辆的相关性能的同时确保大的承载空间的效果。The arrangement structure of these constituent elements reduces the height of the vehicle from the ground, and therefore, the center of gravity of the vehicle can be reduced as much as possible, thereby obtaining the effect of ensuring a large carrying space while improving the relevant performance of the vehicle.
图示在图1至图5的实施例中,第一凸轮部件60A及第二凸轮部件60B为具有圆形剖面的轮盘形状。As shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, the first cam member 60A and the second cam member 60B have a roulette shape with a circular cross section.
在一些实施例中,各个凸轮部件与驱动轮组件的上端面(支撑块的上端面)存在由于接触引起的磨损的隐患,因此,各个凸轮部件60A、60B安装有轴承61,使得外周面部62可自由旋转。In some embodiments, each cam component and the upper end surface of the drive wheel assembly (the upper end surface of the support block) have the potential for wear due to contact. Therefore, each cam component 60A, 60B is equipped with a bearing 61 so that the outer peripheral surface 62 can Free spin.
由此,在以下说明的运转过程中,凸轮部件可以更顺畅地旋转,从而可以提高运转可靠性且减少因与支撑块的摩擦引起的磨损的隐患。As a result, during the operation described below, the cam member can be rotated more smoothly, which can improve the operation reliability and reduce the risk of wear due to friction with the support block.
图3至图6涉及根据本申请的悬架结构的使用状态。3 to 6 relate to the use state of the suspension structure according to the present application.
在图5(a)和图5(b)及图6(b)中,附图中间的是从背面观察悬架结构的图,其左侧及右侧的分别是从左侧观察驱动轮组件的图。In FIG. 5(a), FIG. 5(b), and FIG. 6(b), the center of the drawing is a view of the suspension structure viewed from the back, and the left and right sides are respectively viewed from the left side of the drive wheel assembly Figure.
参照示意性地示出驱动轮组件30L、30R及凸轮部件60A、60B的图4及图5,图4及图5示出了根据由于车辆经过不平坦的工厂地面而产生的左右驱动轮组件30L、30R的高度偏差,旋转轴50及凸轮部件60A、60B旋转。Refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 that schematically show the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R and the cam members 60A, 60B. FIGS. 4 and 5 show the left and right drive wheel assemblies 30L due to vehicles passing through uneven factory floors. , The height deviation of 30R causes the rotating shaft 50 and the cam members 60A and 60B to rotate.
在一些实施例中,任意一个驱动轮组件的上升或下降与另一个驱动轮组件的下降或上升是联动的,这种左右驱动轮组件的交替升降运转是通过沿正向或反向一体旋转的旋转轴及各个凸轮部件而实现。In some embodiments, the ascent or descent of any one drive wheel assembly is linked to the descent or ascent of another drive wheel assembly, and the alternating up and down operation of the left and right drive wheel assemblies is through integral rotation in the forward or reverse direction This is achieved by rotating the shaft and various cam components.
其结果,两个驱动轮组件在均匀地支撑车辆负载的同时,在存在高低差的地面上实现完全、稳定地接地。此时,车辆保持水平。As a result, the two drive wheel assemblies uniformly support the vehicle load, while achieving complete and stable grounding on the ground where there is a height difference. At this time, the vehicle remains level.
在图4(a)、图4(b)及图5(a)中,左右的驱动轮组件被放置在平坦的地面,因此其实际上处于水平的状态。In FIGS. 4(a), 4(b), and 5(a), the left and right drive wheel assemblies are placed on a flat ground, so they are actually in a horizontal state.
在图4(a)、图4(b)中,在一些实施例中,旋转轴50的中心51位于穿过具备在驱动轮组件的车轮331的轴中心的垂直线V上。在一些实施例中,各个凸轮部件60A、60B的中心63从垂直线V间隔水平距离d。只是,在图示在图4(a)左侧的驱动轮组件30L中,第一凸轮部件60A偏向于附图的右侧,在图示在图4(b)右侧的驱动轮组件30R中,第二凸轮部件60B偏向于附图的左侧,由此,在左右驱动轮组件中,偏心的水平距离为相同的d,但偏心的方向是相反的。In FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), in some embodiments, the center 51 of the rotating shaft 50 is located on a vertical line V passing through the center of the shaft of the wheel 331 provided in the drive wheel assembly. In some embodiments, the center 63 of each cam member 60A, 60B is separated from the vertical line V by a horizontal distance d. However, in the driving wheel assembly 30L shown on the left side of FIG. 4(a), the first cam member 60A is biased to the right side of the drawing, and in the driving wheel assembly 30R shown on the right side of FIG. 4(b) Since the second cam member 60B is biased toward the left side of the drawing, the horizontal distance of the eccentricity in the left and right drive wheel assemblies is the same d, but the direction of the eccentricity is opposite.
图5(b)及图6(a)概念性地示出了在进入不平坦地面的瞬间发生的悬架结构的运转。当右侧驱动轮组件30R进入凹陷的地面时,右侧驱动轮组件30R由于自身重量而贴着降低的地面移动。从框部的角度来看,右侧驱动轮组件30R成为从原来的水平高度降低的状态。5(b) and 6(a) conceptually illustrate the operation of the suspension structure that occurs at the moment of entering uneven ground. When the right driving wheel assembly 30R enters the concave ground, the right driving wheel assembly 30R moves against the lowered ground due to its own weight. From the perspective of the frame portion, the right drive wheel assembly 30R is in a state of being lowered from the original level.
此时,车辆的负载集中于左侧驱动轮组件30L,其在附图中以块箭头来表示。由于第一凸轮部件60A偏心地固定在了旋转轴50,因此,在第一凸轮部件60A产生沿逆时针方向的旋转(参照图6(a))。At this time, the load of the vehicle is concentrated on the left drive wheel assembly 30L, which is indicated by a block arrow in the drawing. Since the first cam member 60A is eccentrically fixed to the rotating shaft 50, the first cam member 60A rotates counterclockwise (see FIG. 6(a)).
其结果,如图6(b)所示,第一凸轮部件60A沿逆时针方向旋转角度A,并在新的点上由左侧驱动轮组件30L的支撑块支撑,第二凸轮部件60B也沿逆 时针方向旋转角度A,并由右侧驱动轮组件30R的支撑块支撑。As a result, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the first cam member 60A rotates at an angle A in the counterclockwise direction and is supported by the support block of the left drive wheel assembly 30L at a new point, and the second cam member 60B also follows Rotate the angle A counterclockwise and be supported by the support block of the right drive wheel assembly 30R.
在此过程中,左侧地平面的车辆离地高度(ground clearance)减小了左右地面高度之差的1/2。从不同的观点出发,当以框部为基准时,左侧的驱动轮组件30L上升,右侧的驱动轮组件30R下降。In this process, the ground clearance of the vehicle on the left ground plane is reduced by 1/2 of the difference between the left and right ground heights. From a different viewpoint, when the frame portion is used as a reference, the left driving wheel assembly 30L rises, and the right driving wheel assembly 30R descends.
结果,左右侧的驱动轮组件30L、30R均在高低不同的地面上完全接地,并且车辆的负载通过各个凸轮部件60A、60B均匀地支撑在左右驱动轮组件。并且,尽管地面具有偏差,包括旋转轴50在内的车辆也能保持水平。As a result, the left and right drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R are completely grounded on the ground with different heights, and the load of the vehicle is uniformly supported by the left and right drive wheel assemblies through the respective cam members 60A, 60B. And, despite the deviation on the ground, the vehicle including the rotating shaft 50 can be kept level.
为了易于理解根据本申请的悬架结构的运转关系而图示了图5(b),但是应注意的是,在实际运转期间,凸轮部件与运转块以不分离的方式连续地运转。Fig. 5(b) is illustrated for easy understanding of the operation relationship of the suspension structure according to the present application, but it should be noted that during actual operation, the cam member and the operation block continuously operate without separating.
当在适用悬架结构的两个驱动轮组件发生高低差时,发生上述旋转轴及凸轮部件的运转,因此也适用于任意一侧的驱动轮组件上升到高于另一侧的情况。When the height difference occurs between the two drive wheel assemblies to which the suspension structure is applied, the operation of the above-mentioned rotating shaft and cam member occurs, so it is also applicable to the case where the drive wheel assembly on either side rises higher than the other side.
图7示出了适用于根据另一个实施例的悬架结构的椭圆形凸轮部件60C、60D。被省略图示的其他结构与上述实施例的构成要素相同。Fig. 7 shows oval cam members 60C, 60D suitable for a suspension structure according to another embodiment. The other structures omitted from the drawing are the same as the constituent elements of the above-mentioned embodiment.
图7(a)为示出凸轮部件60C的短轴部分与驱动轮组件的支撑块311接触的图,图7(b)为以又一个实施例示出凸轮部件60D的长轴部分与驱动轮组件的支撑块311接触的图。7(a) is a view showing that the short shaft portion of the cam member 60C is in contact with the support block 311 of the driving wheel assembly, and FIG. 7(b) is a further embodiment showing the long shaft portion of the cam member 60D and the driving wheel assembly. The support block 311 contacts the figure.
通过采用椭圆形凸轮部件60C、60D,当任意一侧的驱动轮组件升降时,可以使旋转轴更灵敏或较迟钝地做出反应。By adopting elliptical cam parts 60C and 60D, when the drive wheel assembly on either side is raised and lowered, the rotating shaft can be made to react more sensitively or bluntly.
在一些实施例中,如图7(b)所示,当椭圆形凸轮部件60C构成为其长轴部分支撑驱动轮组件时,支撑位置在曲率大的部分变更,从而能够对两个驱动轮组件的高度差做出更灵敏的反应。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7(b), when the elliptical cam member 60C is configured such that its long axis part supports the drive wheel assembly, the support position is changed at a portion with a large curvature, so that the two drive wheel assemblies The height difference makes a more sensitive response.
在一些实施例中,如图7(a)所示,当椭圆形凸轮部件60D设置成其短轴部分支撑驱动轮组件时,与圆形的凸轮部件相比,可以降低灵敏度。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7(a), when the elliptical cam member 60D is arranged such that its short-axis portion supports the drive wheel assembly, the sensitivity can be reduced compared to the circular cam member.
图8示出了适用了悬架结构的另一例。在图8中,上端部的箭头表示前行方向。FIG. 8 shows another example to which the suspension structure is applied. In FIG. 8, the arrow at the upper end indicates the forward direction.
适用了悬架结构的驱动轮组件301沿前后方向并排配置,从而可以通过前轮及后轮适用悬架结构(参照图8(a)及图8(b))。The driving wheel assemblies 301 to which the suspension structure is applied are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction, so that the suspension structure can be applied to the front wheels and the rear wheels (refer to FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b)).
或者,悬架结构能够适用于前方的左右驱动轮组件301,也可以选择性地适用于左右前轮或者左右后轮(参照图8(c)及图8(d))。Alternatively, the suspension structure can be applied to the left and right drive wheel assemblies 301 at the front, and can also be selectively applied to the left and right front wheels or the left and right rear wheels (see FIGS. 8(c) and 8(d)).
图9及图10涉及根据本申请再一个实施例的自动导引车辆的无弹性悬架结构。9 and 10 relate to an inelastic suspension structure of an automatic guided vehicle according to yet another embodiment of the present application.
所图示的实施例的悬架结构包括框部20及驱动轮组件30L、30R,并且上述悬架结构还包括:垂直引导部件40,其约束驱动轮组件30L、30R仅沿着垂直方向移动;以及旋转轴50,其安装于框部20。所述自动导引车辆的无弹性悬架结构包括:轴齿轮(pinion)80,其具备在旋转轴50两端;以及齿条(rack)部件34,其结合在驱动轮组件30L、30R且连接与轴齿轮80。这些构成要素在不与以下所说明的内容相冲突的范围内,包括上述实施例的技术特征。The suspension structure of the illustrated embodiment includes a frame portion 20 and drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R, and the above-mentioned suspension structure further includes: a vertical guide member 40 that restricts the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R to move only in the vertical direction; And the rotating shaft 50 is attached to the frame 20. The inelastic suspension structure of the automatic guided vehicle includes: a pinion 80 which is provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 50; and a rack member 34 which is combined and connected to the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R With shaft gear 80. These constituent elements include the technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments to the extent that they do not conflict with the contents described below.
可旋转得安装在框部20上部的旋转轴50可自由旋转。该旋转轴50的两端部结合有轴齿轮80,轴齿轮80与旋转轴50一体形成且旋转。The rotating shaft 50 rotatably mounted on the upper portion of the frame portion 20 can freely rotate. A shaft gear 80 is coupled to both ends of the rotating shaft 50, and the shaft gear 80 is formed integrally with the rotating shaft 50 and rotates.
齿条部件34为垂直竖立在驱动轮组件30L、30R的上部的结构物,结构物的一面具有与轴齿轮齿轮结合的齿条。The rack member 34 is a structure that stands vertically on top of the drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R, and one side of the structure has a rack that is coupled to the pinion gear.
连接于旋转轴左右的各个轴齿轮80的齿条部件的结合方向在左右轴齿轮80中是相反方向。换句话说,各个齿条部件34与各个轴齿轮80的结合方向相对于旋转轴50的轴中心对称。The coupling directions of the rack members of the shaft gears 80 connected to the left and right of the rotating shaft are opposite directions in the left and right shaft gears 80. In other words, the coupling direction of each rack member 34 and each shaft gear 80 is symmetrical with respect to the axis center of the rotating shaft 50.
在一些实施例中,在左侧的驱动轮组件30L,齿条部件34在左侧轴齿轮80的前方处连接;在右侧的驱动轮组件30R,齿条部件34在右侧轴齿轮80的后方处连接。In some embodiments, on the left drive wheel assembly 30L, the rack member 34 is connected in front of the left axle gear 80; on the right drive wheel assembly 30R, the rack member 34 is on the right axle gear 80 Connect at the rear.
如此,在左右轴齿轮80的齿条部件34的连接方向为相反方向,因此,当任意一个驱动轮组件30L上升使轴齿轮及旋转轴旋转时,则剩余的驱动轮组件将通过轴齿轮80的旋转而与齿条部件34一起下降。In this way, the connection direction of the rack members 34 of the left and right shaft gears 80 is the opposite direction. Therefore, when any one of the driving wheel assemblies 30L rises to rotate the shaft gear and the rotating shaft, the remaining driving wheel assemblies will pass through the shaft gear 80 It rotates and descends together with the rack member 34.
即,与上述的实施例相同地,通过旋转轴50及两个轴齿轮80连接的一对驱动轮组件30L、30R以当任意一个驱动轮组件上升时,另一个驱动轮组件下降的方式实现协调。That is, as in the above-described embodiment, the pair of driving wheel assemblies 30L, 30R connected by the rotating shaft 50 and the two shaft gears 80 achieve coordination in such a way that when any one driving wheel assembly rises, the other driving wheel assembly descends .
这些左右驱动轮组件30L、30R的协调的上下移动与上述实施例的悬架结构相同,因此,即使两个驱动轮组件进入不平坦的地面,也可以实现如图5及图6所示的运转。The coordinated up and down movement of these left and right drive wheel assemblies 30L, 30R is the same as the suspension structure of the above embodiment, therefore, even if the two drive wheel assemblies enter uneven ground, the operation shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 can be achieved .
并且,当通过轴齿轮80及齿条部件34的连接,驱动轮组件30L、30R承受包括框部的负载时,弹性要素被排除。即,为无弹性的悬架结构。In addition, when the drive wheel assemblies 30L and 30R receive a load including a frame portion through the connection of the shaft gear 80 and the rack member 34, the elastic element is eliminated. That is, it has an inelastic suspension structure.
轴齿轮80及齿条部件34的齿轮结合是为了使根据任意一个驱动轮组件的上升或下降的轴齿轮的旋转以及根据轴齿轮的旋转的另一个驱动轮组件的下降或上升不发生打滑。由此,可以获得非常准确地实现悬架的动作的优点。The gear combination of the shaft gear 80 and the rack member 34 is to prevent the rotation of the shaft gear according to the ascent or descent of any one drive wheel assembly and the descent or ascent of the other drive wheel assembly according to the rotation of the shaft gear without slipping. Thereby, the advantage of realizing the movement of the suspension very accurately can be obtained.
车辆在经过不平坦地面的期间,根据本发明实施例的悬架结构可以使驱动 轮组件的车轮完全接触地面。并且,通过驱动轮组件的高低发生改变,即使在接触不平坦地面的过程中,也可以使车辆保持水平。这种驱动轮组件并不是弹性地进行上下移动,而是通过凸轮部件而具有非弹性结构,因此,在车辆进行物品装卸的过程中,几乎不会改变车辆的高低。由此,可以减少复杂的控制要素(用于跟踪及修改在物品装卸的过程中根据车辆的高低变化的位置关系)的介入,从而能够大大提高自动化系统的控制效率。While the vehicle passes over uneven ground, the suspension structure according to the embodiment of the present invention can make the wheels of the drive wheel assembly completely contact the ground. Moreover, by changing the height of the drive wheel assembly, the vehicle can be kept level even during contact with uneven ground. This driving wheel assembly does not move up and down elastically, but has an inelastic structure through the cam member. Therefore, during the loading and unloading of the vehicle, the height of the vehicle hardly changes. As a result, the intervention of complex control elements (used to track and modify the positional relationship that changes according to the height of the vehicle during the loading and unloading of items) can be reduced, and the control efficiency of the automation system can be greatly improved.
