VEHICLE WITH SPHERICAL PROPULSORS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B62D57/00 B60K1/02 B60B19/14 

FIELD: vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electromobile and robotic transport chassis. Vehicle with spherical propulsors comprises an on-board computer, four spherical propulsors arranged in one plane and fitted in wheel assemblies with ball or roller bearings, and three electric drives. One spherical propulsor has two electric drives, the axes of rotation of which are perpendicular to each other and lie in the plane of the spherical propulsors. Three wheel assemblies with spherical propulsors are located at vertices of triangle, in the centre of circumscribed circle of which there is wheel assembly with spherical propulsor with two electric drives. All spherical propulsors are equipped with braking units. On the spherical propulsor located in the triangle vertex the electric drive is installed, the axis of rotation of which lies in the plane of the spherical propulsors parallel to the line passing through the centres of the driving spherical propulsor and the propulsor, on which the given electric drive is installed. Wheel assemblies of two other spherical propellers without electric drives, which are located in vertices of triangle, are installed on spring suspension.

EFFECT: increased operational safety of vehicle and adaptive response to change of speed and trajectory of vehicle.
