Claims4
A driving apparatus, comprising:
- a first motor;
- a first gear mechanism having a first input shaft and a first output shaft, the first input shaft being connected to the first motor;
- a second motor;
- and
- a second gear mechanism having a second input shaft and a second output shaft, the second input shaft being connected to the second motor,
- wherein
- the first gear mechanism is configured such that the first input shaft and the first output shaft are in an intersecting or twisted position;
- the second gear mechanism is configured such that the second input shaft and the second output shaft are in an intersecting or twisted position, and
- the first gear mechanism and the second gear mechanism are configured such that the direction of rotation of the first output shaft is the same as the direction of rotation of the second output shaft when the direction of rotation of the first input shaft is different from the direction of rotation of the second input shaft.
