Abstract
A floor-bound vehicle, in particular for a movable production plant with a processing unit for processing a workpiece, with at least two drive units, wherein the drive units each comprise at least one drive wheel, a travel drive for driving the at least one drive wheel, a wheel carrier on which the at least one drive wheel is arranged, and a steering drive for adjusting the wheel carrier with the drive wheel about a geometric steering axis and thus steering the drive wheel, wherein for steering, the respective wheel carrier can be adjusted relative to the respective travel drive by means of the respective steering drive is provided.
Claims22
A floor-bound vehicle for a movable production plant with a processing unit for processing a workpiece, with at least two drive units,
- wherein the drive units each comprise at least one drive wheel, a travel drive for driving the at least one drive wheel, a wheel carrier on which the at least one drive wheel is arranged, and a steering drive for adjusting the wheel carrier with the drive wheel about a geometric steering axis and thus steering the drive wheel,
- wherein for steering, the respective wheel carrier is configured to be adjusted relative to the respective travel drive by the respective steering drive,
- wherein the respective wheel carrier has a pivot device via which the drive wheel is configured to be pivoted about a geometric pivot axis in order to compensate for unevenness in the ground and wherein during pivoting of the drive wheel about the geometric pivot axis, the travel drive is co-pivoted.
A floor-bound vehicle for a movable production plant with a processing unit for processing a workpiece, with at least two drive units,
- wherein the drive units each comprise at least one drive wheel, a travel drive for driving the at least one drive wheel, a wheel carrier on which the at least one drive wheel is arranged, and a steering drive for adjusting the wheel carrier with the drive wheel about a geometric steering axis and thus steering the drive wheel,
- wherein a rotational axis of the drive wheel is tiltable relative to the vehicle,
- wherein the respective wheel carrier has a pivot device via which the drive wheel is configured to be pivoted about a geometric pivot axis in order to compensate for unevenness in the ground and wherein during pivoting of the drive wheel about the geometric pivot axis, the travel drive is co-pivoted.
A floor-bound vehicle for a movable production plant with a processing unit for processing a workpiece, with at least two drive units,
- wherein the drive units each comprise at least one drive wheel, a travel drive for driving the at least one drive wheel, a wheel carrier on which the at least one drive wheel is arranged, and a steering drive for adjusting the wheel carrier with the drive wheel about a geometric steering axis and thus steering the drive wheel,
- wherein for steering, the respective wheel carrier is configured to be adjusted relative to the respective travel drive by the respective steering drive,
- wherein the maximum pivot angle of the drive wheel about the geometric pivot axis is dependent on the steering angle set by the steering drive.
A floor-bound vehicle for a movable production plant with a processing unit for processing a workpiece, with at least two drive units,
- wherein the drive units each comprise at least one drive wheel, a travel drive for driving the at least one drive wheel, a wheel carrier on which the at least one drive wheel is arranged, and a steering drive for adjusting the wheel carrier with the drive wheel about a geometric steering axis and thus steering the drive wheel,
- wherein for steering, the respective wheel carrier is configured to be adjusted relative to the respective travel drive by the respective steering drive,
- wherein the respective travel drive is rotationally locked with respect to its geometric drive axis relative to the vehicle,
- wherein the respective rotational locking is achieved by a movably mounted rod, for which the rod engages on the travel drive and/or a fixing of the travel drive and a point which is stationary relative to the vehicle.
