Abstract
A motorized wheel assembly for attachment to various devices. The device comprises an internally-housed motor coupled to a wheel via a drive shaft and gearing system, means for control, and a mounting point. The device is configured for mechanical fastening to larger objects to provide locomotion to either assist a user or to provide autonomous transportation.
Claims19
A powered wheel assembly comprising:
- a motor housing comprising a motor, the motor comprising a stator and a rotor disposed within a core of the stator, the rotor being rotationally supported in the motor housing and operatively connected with a shaft extending axially in the interior of the motor housing;
- a gear drive housing axially opposite of the motor housing, the gear drive housing comprising a cycloidal gear drive, the cycloidal gear drive comprising at least one cycloidal gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being operatively connected with the shaft, the cycloidal gear drive comprising an outer ring gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being configured to rotate within the outer ring gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being configured to engage at least one carrier pin;
- and
- a hub disposed between the motor housing and the gear drive housing, the hub having a portion extending radially outward and being supercircumjacent the motor housing and the gear drive housing, the hub being rotatably relative to the motor housing and the gear drive housing, the hub having a wheel tread on an outer peripheral surface of the hub, the hub having a web disposed between the motor and the cycloidal gear drive, the at least one carrier pin being mounted in the web and extending axially outward in a direction away from motor for engagement with the at least one cycloidal gear.

A powered wheel assembly comprising:
- a motor subassembly, the motor subassembly comprising a motor, the motor comprising a stator and a rotor disposed within a core of the stator, the rotor having a shaft extending axially through the motor subassembly;
- a gear drive subassembly, the gear drive subassembly a cycloidal gear drive, the cycloidal gear drive comprising at least one cycloidal gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being operatively connected with the shaft, the cycloidal gear drive comprising an outer ring gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being configured to rotate within the outer ring gear, the at least one cycloidal gear being configured to engage at least one carrier pin;
- and
- a hub subassembly disposed between the motor subassembly and the gear drive subassembly, the hub subassembly having a portion extending radially outward and being supercircumjacent the motor subassembly and the gear drive subassembly, the hub subassembly being rotatably relative to the motor subassembly and the gear drive subassembly, the hub subassembly including a wheel tread on an outer peripheral surface of a hub of the hub subassembly, the hub having a web disposed between the motor subassembly and the gear drive subassembly, the at least one carrier pin being mounted in the web and extending axially outward in a direction away from motor subassembly for engagement with the at least one cycloidal gear.
