ROBOT WHEEL DRIVING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240136889 titled 'ROBOT WHEEL DRIVING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a robot wheel driving apparatus that includes a wheel with a tire, a wheel cover, a motor housing, and a motor. The wheel cover has a hole for air flow, the wheel has a hole for air flow towards the motor housing, and a blade for air flow between the wheel and the motor housing.
- Wheel with tire, wheel cover, motor housing, and motor
- Wheel cover hole for air flow
- Wheel hole for air flow towards motor housing
- Blade for air flow between wheel and motor housing
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various types of robots that require efficient wheel driving mechanisms, such as robotic vacuum cleaners, delivery robots, or autonomous vehicles.
Problems Solved
The apparatus solves the problem of overheating in robot wheels by providing efficient air flow to cool down the motor housing during operation.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved performance and longevity of robot wheels, increased efficiency in driving mechanisms, and reduced risk of motor overheating.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Efficient Air Flow Robot Wheel Driving Apparatus for Improved Performance and Longevity" could be used in industries such as robotics, automation, and transportation for applications requiring reliable and durable wheel driving systems.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing robot wheel designs that do not have optimized air flow mechanisms for cooling the motor housing during operation.
Unanswered Questions
How does the wheel cover hole design optimize air flow in the apparatus?
The design of the wheel cover hole allows for efficient air flow from the outside of the wheel cover towards the wheel, ensuring proper cooling of the motor housing during operation.
What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of robots?
One potential challenge could be adapting the apparatus to fit different sizes and types of robot wheels, as well as ensuring compatibility with various motor configurations and power requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
a robot wheel driving apparatus includes a wheel to which a tire is coupled and configured to drive a robot, a wheel cover covering and coupled to both sides of the wheel, a motor housing inserted into the wheel, and a motor embedded in the motor housing and configured to provide a rotating force to the wheel. the wheel cover includes a wheel cover hole configured to allow air to flow from an outside of the wheel cover toward the wheel, and the wheel includes a wheel hole configured to allow air flowing into the wheel through the wheel cover hole to flow toward the motor housing, and a blade configured to allow air to flow between the wheel and the motor housing by rotation of the wheel.
