CA 2644070

An omni-directional vehicle (ODV) with a circular frame revolvably coupled to an appendage ring using a full circumferential coupling assembly. The appendage ring serves as a point of attachment for a push bar, trailer, tool, vehicle chassis, or other device. Two independent drive wheels located on an axis through the center of the frame are mounted at the same distance from a central vertical axis through the frame. Each wheel is powered independently and can rotate at variable speeds in either direction. The ODV is capable of movement in any direction by rotating the axis of the drive wheels to a position which is perpendicular to the desired direction of travel. The ODV can spin about its vertical axis such that the axis of the drive wheels can be oriented at any direction without changing the original footprint of the space that the frame occupies over the ground.

Véhicule omnidirectionnel (VOD) avec un attelage circulaire assemblé de façon à pouvoir tourner à un anneau appendice à l'aide d'un ensemble accouplement circonférentiel complet. L'anneau appendice sert de point de fixation pour une barre-poussoir, une remorque, un outil, un châssis de véhicule ou un autre dispositif. Deux roues motrices indépendantes situées sur un axe passant par le centre du châssis sont montées à égale distance de l'axe vertical central du châssis. Chaque roue est propulsée indépendamment et peut tourner à des vitesses variables dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Le VOD est capable de se déplacer dans n'importe quelle direction par une rotation de l'axe des roues motrices vers une position perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement souhaitée. Le VOD peut tourner autour de son axe vertical de telle sorte que l'on peut orienter l'axe des roues motrices dans n'importe quelle direction sans modifier l'encombrement au sol de l'espace que le châssis occupe.
