Title:
OMNIDIRECTIONAL MOBILE BODY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018188013
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an omnidirectional mobile body capable of achieving constantly horizontal holding of a base, a simple structure, and high versatility.SOLUTION: An omnidirectional mobile body 1 includes a base 10 and a mobile unit 20. At least six mobile units 20 are fixed on the base 10, each of which includes a wheel 21, a support shaft 22, a drive unit 30 which brings the wheel 21 near and spaced to/from the base 10 or rotates the wheel, and a promotion part 40 rotating and stopping the wheel 21. The drive unit 30 includes a sliding mechanism reciprocating the support shaft 22 and a rotation mechanism horizontally rotating the support shaft 22. The base 10 includes a horizontal control unit and always maintains a horizontal state of the base 10. During a travel, a rudder angle of the wheel 21 is displaced by the rotation mechanism and thus an omnidirectional travel can be made. On a rough ground surface, each of the wheels 21 changes a distance to the base with the sliding mechanism, so that a horizontal state of the base 10 is maintained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
