The present invention discloses a driving device capable of walking and stair-climbing by electric power which adopts a combination of a walking mechanism and a climbing carrier to create inventive planetary gear transmission principles. When walking on a flat ground, a driving part drives a sun gear to rotate in a positive direction, two walking wheels are in contact with the ground at the same time, the sun gear drives a planet gear to rotate in a negative direction around a planet shaft, and inner teeth and outer teeth of a gear ring rotate in the negative direction synchronously with the planet gear, thereby a transmission gear drives the walking wheel to rotate in the positive direction to realize rotation of walking. When climbing stairs, the sun gear rotates in the positive direction, the walking wheel is obstructed by stair, the transmission gear, the inner and outer teeth of the gear ring stop rotating, and the sun gear drives the planet gear to revolute along the inner teeth in the positive direction, thereby the planet shaft drives the climbing carrier to rotate in the positive direction to realize climbing cross obstacles. Thus, the present invention solves the problem of the known planetary wheel structure that the climbing carrier is driven to rotate in opposite direction when the walking wheel cannot rotate such and thus is difficult to realize the function of stair-climbing, and has advantages of simple structure and safe and reliable use.

A driving wheel includes: a first disc provided to be rotatable with respect to a rotary shaft; a second disc provided to be rotatable with respect to the rotary shaft; a plurality of spokes each protruding outward and each having a first side rotatably coupled to the first disc and a second side rotatably coupled to the second disc; a first motor to rotate the first disc; and a second motor to rotate the second disc.

The stair-climbing wheeled carrier has a U-shaped frame defined by a pair of elongated parallel handles and a crossbeam extending between the ends of the handles. Each handle has an axle mount depending therefrom having a star wheel or spider wheel mounted thereon. A dual shaft worm drive motor is mounted on the frame, the shafts driving chain drives connected to the wheels. A throttle extends from one of the handles, and controls leaf springs that operate switches for actuating the reversible motor and returning the throttle to neutral when released. A payload is attached to brackets mounted on the handles. The payload may be a seat for a person needing assistance attending/descending stairs, or a basket for carrying packages or other items upstairs. In use, an assistant uses the handles to support the frame while operating the motor to activate the wheels for climbing stairs.

A travelling apparatus having a high travelling performance with a simple structure is provided. A travelling apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a frame; front wheels disposed in a front of the frame; first links configured to be extendable and retractable and coupled between the front wheels and an oscillation axis located in a rear of the front wheels; and first linear motion mechanisms that are coupled between the frame and the first links and are extended and retracted so as to rotate the first links about the oscillation axis.

A robust ground traction (drive) assembly for remotely controlled vehicles, which not only operates smoothly on surfaces that are flat, but also upon surfaces that include rugged terrain, snow, mud, and sand, is provided. The assembly includes a sun gear and a braking gear. The sun gear is configured to cause rotational force to be applied to second planetary gears through a coupling of first planetary gears. The braking gear is configured to cause the assembly (or the second planetary gears) to rotate around the braking gear when an obstacle or braking force is applied.

A multi-leg independent mobile carrier device, comprising: a base (1), a traveling mechanism (2), and a posture adjustment mechanism (3). The base (1) is used for carrying a human being or an object. The traveling mechanism (2) comprises a driving unit (21) connected to the base (1) and a connecting rod unit (22) rotatably connected to the driving unit. The traveling mechanism (2) is used for driving the base (1) to travel and get over any obstacles. The posture adjustment mechanism (3) is connected to the base (1) and used for keeping the human being or object balanced. The multi-leg independent mobile carrier device integrates a traveling mechanism and a posture adjustment mechanism. The posture adjustment mechanism is used for keeping the base balanced all the time and the traveling mechanism is used for driving the entire device to travel and turn around more flexibly. Therefore, the technical problem of a carrier device being unable to satisfy requirements of good obstacle performance, comfortable riding experience, and flexible traveling is effectively solved. The obstacle crossing ability of the multi-leg independent mobile carrier device is enhanced, and user experience is improved.
