WHEEL UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372928 titled 'WHEEL UNIT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wheel assembly with a pair of drive assemblies, each including a motor and a deceleration assembly, positioned on opposite sides of the wheel portion.
- The wheel assembly includes a wheel portion and a pair of drive assemblies.
- One drive assembly has a motor and a deceleration assembly, while the other has a motor and a deceleration assembly.
- The deceleration assemblies have input and output shafts connected to each other.
- The rotation axes of the input and output shafts are parallel to the wheel portion's rotation axis and are located outside the wheel portion in the radial direction.
- The shafts extend away from the wheel portion along the rotation axis.

Original Abstract Submitted
A wheel assembly includes a wheel portion and a pair of drive assemblies opposing each other with the wheel portion interposed therebetween. One of the pair of drive assemblies includes a first motor and a first deceleration assembly. The other of the pair of drive assemblies includes a second motor and a second deceleration assembly. The first deceleration assembly includes a first input shaft connected to the first output shaft. The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel portion and disposed outside the wheel portion in the radial direction of the wheel portion. The first output shaft, the first input shaft, the second output shaft, and the second input shaft extend in a direction away from the wheel portion in a direction along the rotation axis.
