The utility model relates to an elastic driving wheel for a wheel type platform. The elastic driving wheel comprises a power input end and a power output end and is mainly and technically characterized in that a spring rotary connecting shaft mechanism is arranged between the power input end and the power output end, one end of the spring rotary connecting shaft mechanism is connected with a motor through an input end speed change mechanism, and the other end of the spring rotary connecting shaft mechanism is connected with a wheel through an output end speed change mechanism. The elastic driving wheel has the technical advantages that rotating force of the motor is transferred to a spring through the spring rotary connecting shaft mechanism at the moment that the motor is started with overloads, the spring bears the rotating force to be extruded to generate stored energy when bearing the rotating force of the motor and doing rotating motion, and therefore heat energy generated by the overloads of the motor is converted into the stored energy of the spring, then the wheel at the power output end is driven by release of the stored energy of the spring to rotate, locked-rotor currents generated by the overloads at the moment of starting the motor are effectively avoided, and the safety of the motor is improved to the greatest extent.
