Laut dem bisherigen Stand der Technik ist es nur möglich eine Kugel durch z. B. ein Auto, das in der Kugel fährt, eingeschränkt steuern zu können. Es wurde auch eine Erfindung gemacht, mit der man einer Kugel, die an eine Art Fuchsschwanz befestigt ist, unkontrollierbar auf einer waagerechten Ebene fahren lassen kann. Leider liegen mir jedoch keine Informationen zu einem Patent vor.According to the prior art, it is only possible to get a ball through z. B. a car that is inthe ball travels to be able to control it to a limited extent. An invention was also made withwhich is uncontrollably on a ball attached to a kind of foxtailcan drive horizontally level. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about onePatent before.
Bisher war es nicht möglich, eine Kugel vorwärts und rückwärts, nach links und nach rechts fahren bzw. steuern zu können. Außerdem war es nicht möglich eine Kugel auf der Stelle zu drehen, so dass eine Anfahrt der Kugel in jede beliebige Richtung möglich ist.So far it has not been possible to move a ball forward and backward, left and rightto be able to drive or steer. In addition, it was not possible to get a bullet on the spotturn so that the ball can be moved in any direction.
Dieses bisher durch den Stand der Technik unlösbare Problem ist nun mit dem vollbeweglichen Fahrzeug in Form einer Kugel gelöst.This problem, which was previously unsolvable by the prior art, is now a problem with the fully movable oneVehicle solved in the form of a ball.
Das soeben erwähnte Fahrzeug ist folgendermaßen konstruiert (siehe dazu auchFig. 1):
Das Fahrzeug besteht aus einer kugelförmigen Außenhülle (7), in der sich ein nicht an der Außenhülle befestigtes Chassis befindet. Das Chassis besteht aus einer Grundplatte (1) die an beiden Enden abgewinkelt ist. Auf den beiden Enden befindet sich jeweils ein Antriebsmotor (2), der sein Rad (3) antreibt. Auf dem Mittelstück der Grundplatte befindet sich ein besonders schweres Bauteil (z. B. Akku) (4), wodurch sich der Schwerpunkt. Unter den Rädern befindet. (Da dieses Fahrzeug mit dem Prinzip der Schwerpunktverlagerung funktioniert, ist ein Schwerpunkt unter den Rädern wichtig.) Ferner ist an der Grundplatte die Befestigungsstange (8) ihr den Federdämpfer (5) und das Stützrad (6) angebracht. Federdämpfer (5) und Stützrad (6) dienen dazu, den Anpressdruck und somit die Haftkraft der Räder (3) auf der Außenhülle zu erhöhen, damit ein Durchdrehen der Räder (3) während der Fahrt verhindert wird.The vehicle just mentioned is constructed as follows (see alsoFig. 1):
The vehicle consists of a spherical outer shell (7 ) in which there is a chassis that is not attached to the outer shell. The chassis consists of a base plate (1 ) that is angled at both ends. On both ends there is a drive motor (2 ) which drives its wheel (3 ). There is a particularly heavy component (e.g. battery) (4 ) on the center piece of the base plate, which means that the center of gravity is. Located under the wheels. (Since this vehicle works with the principle of shifting the center of gravity, a center of gravity under the wheels is important.) Furthermore, the mounting rod (8 ), the spring damper (5 ) and the support wheel (6 ) are attached to the base plate. Spring damper (5 ) and support wheel (6 ) serve to increase the contact pressure and thus the adhesive force of the wheels (3 ) on the outer shell, so that the wheels (3 ) are prevented from spinning while driving.
Das Antriebsprinzip des vollbeweglichen Fahrzeugs in Form einer Kugel funktioniert folgendermaßen (siehe dazu auchFig. 3):The drive principle of the fully movable vehicle in the form of a ball works as follows (see alsoFig. 3):
Durch Antreiben beider Räder (3) in die gleiche Richtung und mit selber Drehzahl fährt das Fahrzeug nach vorne oder hinten (siehe gestricheltes Chassis). Dabei fährt das Chassis in der Außenhülle (7) schräg nach oben, wodurch sich der Schwerpunkt vom Auflagepunkt in die jeweils angesteuerte Richtung entfernt. Da jedoch Schwerpunkt (9) und Auflagepunkt (10) der Kugel übereinander sein müssen, damit die Kugel steht, rollt die Kugel nun durch dieses erzeugte Ungleichgewicht in die gesteuerte Richtung.By driving both wheels (3 ) in the same direction and at the same speed, the vehicle moves forwards or backwards (see dashed chassis). The chassis in the outer shell (7 ) moves obliquely upwards, which moves the center of gravity away from the point of contact in the direction that is being controlled. However, since the center of gravity (9 ) and support point (10 ) of the ball must be one above the other for the ball to stand, the ball now rolls in the controlled direction due to this imbalance.
Durch Antreiben eines Rades (3) mit höherer Drehzahl und eines mit niedrigerer Drehzahl in die selbe Richtung wie das andere. Durch ein Antreiben der Kugel auf diese Weise dreht sich die Kugel außer nach vorne zusätzlich noch um die eigene Körperachse. Die Kugel rollt in die Richtung, auf der sich das Antriebsrad (3) mit niedrigerer Drehzahl befindet.By driving one wheel (3 ) at a higher speed and one at a lower speed in the same direction as the other. By driving the ball in this way, the ball also rotates about its own body axis in addition to the front. The ball rolls in the direction in which the drive wheel (3 ) is located at a lower speed.
Durch Antreiben der beiden Räder (3) mit gleicher Drehzahl jedoch in entgegengesetzte Richtung dreht sich die Kugel bzw. das Chassis auf der Stelle. Dadurch kann die Anfahrtsrichtung beliebig eingestellt werden.By driving the two wheels (3 ) at the same speed but in the opposite direction, the ball or the chassis rotates on the spot. This allows the direction of travel to be set as desired.
Das vollbewegliche Fahrzeug in Form einer Kugel kann als Antriebssystem für einen ferngesteuerten Ball dienen, den man in einer einfachen (kostengünstigen) Version als Spielzeug für Kinder verkaufen kann. Außerdem kann es in einer besseren (teureren) Version als Modell für Jugendliche und Erwachsene verkauft werden.The fully movable vehicle in the form of a ball can act as a drive system for oneremotely controlled ball, which can be used in a simple (inexpensive) version as a toycan sell for children. It can also be a better (more expensive) version than the model forTeenagers and adults are sold.
Ferner ist dieses Antriebssystem auch für Roboter in verschiedenen Bereichen einsetzbar.This drive system can also be used for robots in various areas.
Ein vollbewegliches Fahrzeug in Form einer Kugel kann folgendermaßen konstruiert werden (hier als ferngesteuertes Modell; siehe auchFig. 4):A fully mobile vehicle in the form of a ball can be constructed as follows (here as a remote-controlled model; see alsoFig. 4):
Zuerst einmal ist eine stabile, kugelförmige Außenhülle (1) nötig (z. B. eine Plastikkugel), die sich in zwei Hälften aufschrauben lässt. Die Kugelinnenwand muss etwas rauh sein, damit die Antriebsräder (2) nicht durchdrehen können.First of all, a stable, spherical outer shell (1 ) is required (e.g. a plastic ball) that can be screwed on in two halves. The inside wall of the sphere must be a little rough so that the drive wheels (2 ) cannot spin.
Das Chassis besteht aus einer länglichen Grundplatte (3), dessen Enden um ca. 30-45 Grad abgewinkelt sind, um schwere Bauteile möglichst tief plazieren zu können. Auf den zwei Enden sitzt jeweils ein (elektrischer) Getriebemotor (4), der eines der zwei Antriebsräder (2) antreibt. Auf dem Mittelstück der Grundplatte ist der Akku (5) befestigt, um den Schwerpunkt möglichst tief zu legen (mindestens unter die Antriebsräder).The chassis consists of an elongated base plate (3 ), the ends of which are angled by approx. 30-45 degrees so that heavy components can be placed as deep as possible. On each of the two ends there is an (electric) geared motor (4 ) which drives one of the two drive wheels (2 ). The battery (5 ) is attached to the center piece of the base plate in order to lower the center of gravity as much as possible (at least under the drive wheels).
Zwischen den beiden Gehäusen der Getriebemotoren ist ein Querverbinder (6) befestigt, an dem die Befestigungsstange (7) für den Federdämpfer (8) und das Stützrad (9) angebracht ist (Funktion des Stützrads siehe oben).Between the two housings of the geared motors, a cross connector (6 ) is attached, on which the mounting rod (7 ) for the spring damper (8 ) and the support wheel (9 ) is attached (see above for the function of the support wheel).
Jeweils an der linken Seite der Getriebegehäuse (4) ist ein Fahrtregler (10) befestigt, mit dem man die Drehzahl und Richtung des jeweiligen Motors (4) steuern kann. An dem zuvor schon genannten Querverbinder (6) ist der Empfänger (11) befestigt.A speed controller (10 ) is attached to the left side of the gearbox housing (4 ) with which the speed and direction of the respective motor (4 ) can be controlled. The receiver (11 ) is attached to the previously mentioned cross connector (6 ).
Der Schaltkreis kann derFig. 2 entnommen werden.The circuit can be seen inFIG. 2.
