Arm-wheel type vehicle
View Patent ↗Provided is an arm-wheel type vehicle including: a main body; an arm that is rotatably installed to the main body; a wheel connected to the arm; a first buffer device that is installed on the main body; and a second buffer device that is installed on the arm.
1. An arm-wheel type vehicle comprising:
a main body;
an arm which is rotatably installed to the main body;
a wheel connected to the arm;
a first buffer device that is installed on the main body; and
a second buffer device which is installed on the arm,
wherein the first buffer device is configured to mitigate an impact moment generated in a rotational direction of the arm due to an external force applied to the wheel,
wherein the second buffer device is configured to mitigate an impact force generated in a length direction of the arm due to the external force applied to the wheel, and
wherein the arm comprises:
a lower arm portion of which a first end is connected to the wheel and of which a second end is connected to the second buffer device;
an upper arm portion of which a first end is connected to the second buffer device and of which a second end is connected to an installation unit;
the installation unit which is rotatably installed to the main body and rotatable about an axis; and
an operating portion that is installed on the installation unit and is connected to the first buffer device.
2. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first buffer device comprises:
a connection portion that is connected to the operating portion; and
a first elastic member of which a first end is connected to the connection portion.
3. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the first buffer device further comprises a first damper of which a first end is connected to the connection portion.
4. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 3 , further comprising a variable actuator that is installed on the main body,
wherein a second end of the first elastic member and a second end of the first damper is connected to the variable actuator.
5. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the second buffer device comprises an elastic member,
wherein a first end of the elastic member is connected to the lower arm portion, and a second end of the elastic member is connected to the upper arm portion.
6. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the second buffer device further comprises a damper, and
wherein a first end of the damper is connected to the lower arm portion, and a second end of the damper is connected to the upper arm portion.
7. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein at least two arms are rotatably installed with respect to a same axis on a same side of the main body.
8. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 7 , wherein each second buffer device disposed on the at least two arms mitigates an impact force generated in a length direction of the arm due to an external force applied to the wheel.
9. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the at least two arms are connected to the first buffer device which mitigates an impact moment generated in a rotational direction of the arm due to the external force applied to the wheel.
10. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein at least two arms are installed on each side of the main body, and the at least two arms are rotatably installed with respect to a same axis.
11. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein at least two arms are installed on each side of the main body, and the at least two arms are rotatably installed with respect to different axes.
12. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a structure disposed on the main body,
wherein the structure is an equipment suitable for a specific use of the arm-wheel type vehicle.
13. The arm-wheel type vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first buffer device is installed inside the main body.
14. A vehicle comprising:
a main body;
at least two arms; and
a wheel connected to each arm of the at least two arms,
wherein the at least two arms are rotatably installed to the main body and are rotatable about a single axis,
wherein each arm is connected to a first buffer device disposed inside the main body, and
wherein each arm of the at least two arms comprises:
a lower arm portion of which a first end is connected to the wheel and of which a second end is connected to a second buffer device;
an upper arm portion of which a first end is connected to the second buffer device and of which a second end is connected to an installation unit;
the installation unit which is rotatably installed to the main body and rotatable about the axis; and
an operating portion that is installed on the installation unit and is connected to the first buffer device.
15. The vehicle of claim 14 , wherein the second buffer device is configured to mitigate an impact force generated in a length direction of the arm due to an external force applied to the wheel.
16. The vehicle of claim 15 , wherein the first buffer device is configured to mitigate an impact moment generated in a rotational direction of the arm due to the external force applied to the wheel.
17. The vehicle of claim 16 , further comprising another arm and another wheel connected to the another arm,
wherein the another arm comprises at least a third buffer device configured to mitigate at least one of an impact force generated in a length direction of the other arm due to an external force applied to the other wheel and an impact moment generated in a rotational direction of the other arm due to the external force applied to the other wheel.
