Abstract
Disclosed is a wheel structure including a first hub member, a plurality of spokes that are provided in a circumferential direction (C1) of the first hub member, protrude outward from the first hub member in an outward direction (R1) intersecting the circumferential direction (C1), and have sides coupled to the first hub member, guide parts to which the plurality of spokes are slidably coupled, and a second hub member to which sides of the guide parts are rotatably coupled, wherein the plurality of spokes include a rotation spoke rotatably coupled to the first hub member.
Claims20
A wheel structure comprising:
- a first hub;
- a plurality of spokes coupled to the first hub such that the plurality of spokes are provided along a circumferential direction of the first hub and protrude outward from the first hub;
- a plurality of guide parts to which the plurality of spokes are slidably coupled;
- and
- a second hub to which sides of the guide parts are rotatably coupled,
- wherein the plurality of spokes comprise a rotation spoke rotatably coupled to the first hub.
A method comprising:
- causing a front portion of a wheel structure to approach a stepped section protruding upward, wherein the wheel structure comprises:
- a first hub;
- a plurality of spokes coupled to the first hub such that the plurality of spokes are provided along a circumferential direction of the first hub and protrude outward from the first hub;
- a plurality of guide parts to which the plurality of spokes are slidably coupled;
- and
- a second hub to which sides of the guide parts are rotatably coupled, wherein the plurality of spokes comprise a rotation spoke rotatably coupled to the first hub;
- moving the second hub with respect to the first hub in an upward direction;
- and
- causing the second hub to rotate onto the stepped section.
A method of controlling a wheel structure, wherein the wheel structure comprises:
- a first hub,
- a plurality of spokes coupled to the first hub such that the plurality of spokes are provided along a circumferential direction of the first hub and protrude outward from the first hub,
- a plurality of guide parts to which the plurality of spokes are slidably coupled and
- a second hub to which sides of the guide parts are rotatably coupled, wherein the plurality of spokes comprise a rotation spoke rotatably coupled to the first hub, the method comprising:
- moving the first hub relative to the second hub in a rearward direction;
- rotating the second hub in a forward movement direction;
- and
- after the moving the first hub relative to the second hub in the rearward direction, moving the first hub relative to the second hub;
- and
- rotating the second hub in a rearward movement direction.
