摘要:
An auto-balancing transportation device having a wheel structure and foot platforms that pivot between an in-use and a stowed position. The pivot axis for each platform is provided within the wheel structure so that the force exerted by a rider when stepping on a foot platform is applied to the wheel structure at a point within the wheel structure, as opposed to external to it, which is unstable and may cause the device to tip over.

Ein Energiespeicher (1, 22) für elektrische Energie, vorzugsweise für ein Transportvehikel wie ein Lastenfahrrad oder wie einen Treppensteiger, weist einen Schacht (20) und einen in den Schacht schiebbaren Akkumulator (24) mit einem Array aus Akkumulatorzellen, insbesondere Lithium-Ionen-Zellen, und ggf. eine Akkumulatorelektronik zur Messung zumindest eines Akkumulatorparameters auf, wie Temperatur, Spannung und Strom. In einem schalenförmigen Gehäuse (30, 34) des Akkumulators (24) befindet sich u. a. ein Stecksystem (118), das mehrere Stecker umfasst. Außerdem sind ggf. eine Grifffläche (50) sowie Führungsflächen (51, 52, 54) an dem Gehäuse (30) vorhanden. Ein erster Stecker vereinigt Kontakte für elektrische Energie und Steuersignale und hat wenigstens fünf oder sechs Kontaktrasterabstände.

In an aspect, a vehicle is provided that includes a frame, a wheel, first and second footrests, a motor and a control system. The wheel further has a longitudinal radius and a lateral radius that is within 10% of the longitudinal radius. Each footrest has a foot support surface and is movable between a folded position, and a deployed position for supporting a foot of a user. The vehicle possesses a generally spherical outer shape. The center of mass is less than a quarter of the longitudinal radius of curvature away from the geometric center of the wheel. The motor drives rotation of the wheel relative to the frame. The control system controls operation of the motor based at least in part on an orientation of the self-balancing vehicle.

Disclosed is a single-wheeled balance vehicle. The single-wheeled balance vehicle at least includes: a wheel provided on a wheel frame, a motor transmission mechanism fixed in the wheel frame and arranged to drive the vehicle according to acquired manned mode information; a wheel cover arranged to partially cover the wheel; a skeleton arranged to reinforce mechanical strength of the wheel cover so as to improve a load-carrying property of the wheel cover in a driving process of the vehicle; and footboards arranged to be stepped on by both feet of a driver in driving. The wheel cover partially covers the wheel and the wheel cover in embodiments of the present application may be in a surface contact, so that the contact area is larger, contact stress is more dispersive, a strain is relatively small, the deformation of the wheel cover can be obviously reduced, the possibility that a tire or a hub motor is rubbed or locked due to large deformation of the wheel cover in the related art can be avoided, and safety performance can be improved.

Provided is an omni-wheel including an annular core member for rotatively supporting a plurality of free roller that is light, economical and strong. The omni-wheel comprises an annular core member (32) having at least one junction (A) defined by mutually circumferentially opposing ends (35) thereof, a plurality of sleeve members (36) defining an inner bore (38) and passed onto the core member and a free roller (60) rotatably supported on an outer surface of each sleeve member in a coaxial relationship, wherein the mutually opposing ends of the annular core member at each junction are fitted into either end of the inner bore of the corresponding sleeve member.
摘要:
A motorized, fore-aft self-balancing transportation device that may include a single wheel structure with a drive motor, a battery and first and second foot platforms located on opposite sides of the wheel. The device may be uniquely be arranged such that the motor and battery are positioned such that there is space within the wheel envelope for a portion of the foot platform (positioned near or within the envelope), thereby placing the weight of the rider low and close to the center of gravity of the device. Various battery and motor arrangements are disclosed, as are different drive mechanisms and component redundancy to assure safe operation in the event of failure.
