Abstract
A steering wheel suspension structure of an omnidirectional mobile robot includes a steering wheel connecting ring, a plurality of leaf spring connecting beams and a chassis mounting section. The steering wheel suspension structure is an integrated plate structure. The steering wheel connecting ring is connected with a steering wheel, and the chassis mounting section is connected with a robot chassis. The leaf spring connecting beam is connected with the steering wheel connecting ring and the chassis mounting section, and the leaf spring connecting beam is used as the main component of suspension deformation. The suspension structure is simple, easy to install, light in weight, less in space, and highly integrated with the steering wheel assembly. When the suspension is deformed by the force, it weakens the radial force and only has the displacement and force in the vertical direction, thus ensuring the handling performance of the chassis.
