Abstract

Disclosed is a chassis for an unmanned guided carrier, wherein the chassis comprises a chassis body ( 100 ), two driving wheel set modules ( 200 ) and a torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) mounted on the chassis body ( 100 ), the torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) comprises a torsion shaft ( 310 ) rotatably mounted on the chassis body ( 100 ) and two supports ( 320 ), one end of each of the two supports ( 320 ) is fixed to one of both ends of the torsion shaft ( 310 ) respectively, an universal wheel ( 330 ) is mounted at the other end of each of the two supports ( 320 ), an elastic member ( 340 ) is provided between said other end of each of the two supports ( 320 ) mounted with the universal wheel ( 330 ) and the chassis body ( 100 ), the elastic member ( 340 ) applies an elastic force to the universal wheel ( 330 ) to make it cling to a ground.

Claims (11)

1. A chassis for an unmanned guided carrier, wherein the chassis comprises a chassis body ( 100 ), two driving wheel set modules ( 200 ) and a torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) mounted on the chassis body ( 100 ), the torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) comprises a torsion shaft ( 310 ) rotatably mounted on the chassis body ( 100 ) and two supports ( 320 ), one end of each of the two supports ( 320 ) is fixed to one of both ends of the torsion shaft ( 310 ) respectively, an universal wheel ( 330 ) is mounted at the other end of each of the two supports ( 320 ), an elastic member ( 340 ) is provided between said other end of each of the two supports ( 320 ) mounted with the universal wheel ( 330 ) and the chassis body ( 100 ), the elastic member ( 340 ) applies an elastic force to the universal wheel ( 330 ) to make it cling to a ground.

2. The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein the torque shaft caster module ( 300 ) is provided between the two driving wheel set modules ( 200 ), the two driving wheel set modules ( 200 ) are each arranged on a center line of the chassis body ( 100 ) which extends in a length direction of the chassis body ( 100 ).

3. The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein both the universal wheels ( 330 ) are provided on both sides of a center line of the chassis body ( 100 ) respectively which extends in the length direction of the chassis body ( 100 ).

4. The chassis according to claim 3 , wherein the torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) is mounted on the chassis body ( 100 ) with the center line as a symmetrical axis.

5. The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein a top surface of the chassis body ( 100 ) is a plane, and a projection of the chassis body ( 100 ) in a direction perpendicular to the top surface is of a shape of square, rectangular or circular.

6. The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein the torsion shaft caster module ( 300 ) further comprises a mounting plate ( 350 ) being fixed on the chassis body ( 100 ), and the torsion shaft ( 310 ) is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate ( 350 ).
