Abstract
A brake module is provided. The brake module is for braking at least one omnidirectional wheel, and the omnidirectional wheels include at least one major wheel and a plurality of minor wheels. The brake module includes a base, a first brake arm, a first major brake block and a first minor brake block. The first major brake block is disposed on the first brake arm. The first minor brake block is disposed on the first brake arm. When the first brake arm is in a first orientation, the first major brake block and the first minor brake block are separated from the omnidirectional wheel, and when the first brake arm is in a second orientation, the first major brake block abuts the major wheel, and the first minor brake block abuts one of the minor wheels.
Claims18
A brake module, wherein the brake module is connected to a brake cable of a movable vehicle to brake at least one omnidirectional wheel, and the at least one omnidirectional wheel comprises at least one major wheel and a plurality of minor wheels, comprising:
- a base, disposed on the movable vehicle;
- a first brake arm, pivoting on the base;
- a first major brake block, disposed on the first brake arm;
- and
- a first minor brake block, disposed on the first brake arm, wherein when the brake cable is pulled, the first brake arm is moved between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the base, and when the first brake arm is in the first orientation relative to the base, the first major brake block and the first minor brake block are separated from the omnidirectional wheel, and when the first brake arm is in the second orientation relative to the base, the first major brake block abuts the major wheel, and the first minor brake block abuts one of the minor wheels.
A movable vehicle, comprising:
- a bracket;
- an omnidirectional wheel, disposed on the bracket, wherein the omnidirectional wheel comprises at least one major wheel and a plurality of minor wheels;
- a base, disposed on the bracket;
- a first brake arm, pivoting on the base;
- a first major brake block, disposed on the first brake arm;
- and
- a first minor brake block, disposed on the first brake arm, wherein the first brake arm is moved between a first orientation and a second orientation relative to the base, and when the first brake arm is in the first orientation relative to the base, the first major brake block and the first minor brake block are separated from the omnidirectional wheel, and when the first brake arm is in the second orientation relative to the base, the first major brake block abuts the major wheel, and the first minor brake block abuts one of the minor wheels.
