3D DRIVE UNITS AND SYSTEMS

The present application relates to a modular drive device and its usage in systems for engaging with and moving heavy loads, solving the problems of fitting under low-profile load formats such as standard pallets and carts while still providing sufficient lifting and conveying torque. A three dimensional drive unit (120) is disclosed, comprising one or more driven wheels mounted into a cylindricalrotating drive housing assembly (210) that is itself supported, but able to rotate within, a cylindrical non-rotating chassis sleeve (130), between which is a slip ring assembly (150). This solutionis used for robotic transportation of materials with typical applications including engaging with and moving pallets, paper rolls, cable reels, vehicles, carts, etc. 本申请涉及模块化驱动装置及其在用于接合和移动重物的系统中的用途，解决了在低轮廓负载形式(例如标准托盘和推车)下配合的问题，同时仍提供足够的提升扭矩和输送扭矩。公开了一种三维驱动单元(120)，包括安装在筒形旋转驱动器壳体组件(210)中的一个或多个被驱动的轮，所述筒形旋转驱动器壳体组件本身被支撑但能够在筒形非旋转底座套管(130)内旋转，其间是滑环组件(150)。该解决方案用于具有通常应用的材料的机器人运输，包括接合和移动托盘、纸卷、电缆卷筒、车辆、推车等。
