At the same time, robots have been widely used as a tool for human exploration of space. With the needs of work, the scope of robot exploration continues to expand. For example, when encountering Rugged terrain and steep slopes require robots to have the ability to pass through complex terrain, which places high demands on the robot's movement flexibility, obstacle surmountability, and environmental adaptability.

When encountering obstacle terrain, they often can only avoid obstacles; crawler robots Thanks to its unique traveling method, mobile robots have greater adaptability than wheeled mobile robots when passing through complex terrain, but their traveling speed is slow and their energy consumption is high; and general wheeled wheels will sink when the ground is soft. Often the wheels are moved forward and backward and the steering is constantly adjusted to get out of trouble, which takes a long time and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, how to improve the wheel's passing performance on complex terrain is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.
针对这种复杂的地形和工作环境,研究人员设计出不同方案,如可变直径车轮和可变结构车轮的使用,可以使勘探机器人在复杂地形的通过能力上得到很大的提升。轮式移动机构的越障性能与车轮的直径尺寸有直接关联,在相同的条件下车轮的直径越大越障能力越强,所以通过改变车轮的直径尺寸和外形是提高轮式移动机构越障性能的一个重要研究点;目前现有技术虽然能够实现车轮的形态变化,但机械结构较为复杂,且仅限于改变车轮轮径,并没有涉及到车轮行进方式上的改变。In response to this complex terrain and working environment, researchers have designed different solutions, such as the use of variable diameter wheels and variable structure wheels, which can greatly improve the exploration robot's ability to pass through complex terrain. The obstacle surmounting performance of the wheeled mobile mechanism is directly related to the diameter of the wheel. Under the same conditions, the larger the diameter of the wheel, the stronger the obstacle surmounting ability. Therefore, changing the diameter, size and shape of the wheel can improve the obstacle surmounting performance of the wheeled mobile mechanism. An important research point; although the current existing technology can achieve changes in the shape of the wheel, the mechanical structure is relatively complex and is limited to changing the wheel diameter, and does not involve changes in the way the wheel travels.

正常工作时车轮整体为圆形结构,以轮式行进方式运转;During normal operation, the wheel has a circular structure as a whole and operates in a wheeled manner;
遇到特定路段使得圆形车轮无法通过时,给车轮通入外部电流或特定光强照射,驱动车轮实现轮式到履带式行进的转换。当给车轮通入外部电流时,采用电驱动变形,电流流入到轮辋3内嵌的电热层6中,通过热电阻效应产生热量,使得轮辋3的基体材料温度升高至玻璃化转变温度Tg以上,从而激发轮辋3的形状回复到打印件初始形状,实现车轮由轮式转变成履带式的变形;当给车轮特定光强照射时,采用光驱动变形,通过特定光强对轮辋3的基体材料进行照射,通过光热转换效应将基体材料温度升高至玻璃化转变温度Tg以上,从而激发轮辋3的形状恢复到打印件初始形状,实现车轮由轮式转变成履带式的变形。When encountering a specific road section that makes the round wheels unable to pass, external current or specific light intensity is supplied to the wheels to drive the wheels to convert from wheeled to crawler traveling. When an external current is supplied to the wheel, the deformation is driven by electricity.

When encountering a steep or potholed road section that cannot be passed in the shape of a round wheel, external current or specific light intensity is supplied to the wheel. The irradiation drive wheel realizes the conversion from wheel to crawler travel. When electric drive deformation is used, the current flows into the rim 3 through the wires installed in the reserved holes in the spoke 2. The electric heating layer 6 embedded in the rim 3 is generated by the thermal resistance effect. Heat, when the temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature Tg of the base material of the printed part, the printed part can return to its original shape to realize the deformation process of the wheel; when light-driven deformation is used, the rim 3 component is irradiated with a specific light intensity, and the rim 3 matrix The photothermal conversion material introduced into the material uses the photothermal conversion effect to increase the temperature above the glass transition temperature Tg of the base material of the printed part, thereby stimulating the shape recovery process to achieve wheel deformation.
