PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crawler type omnidirectional driving body with excellent running-through performance on a very rough terrain, as well as excellent controllability using less units of driving means than conventional one.SOLUTION: The crawler type omnidirectional driving body comprises main crawlers 11 each of which has an endless belt 23 constituted of combined multiple sub-crawlers 31, and a planar contact surface of which contacts the ground to enable the crawler to move. The respective sub-crawlers 31 are aligned to be connected to rotate in a width direction of the endless belt 23 of the main crawler 11. The endless belt 32 of each crawler 31 is provided with convex parts and concave parts alternately formed on an outer surface in a longitudinal direction. A driving gear 12 is disposed at a predetermined position inside the endless belt 23 of the main crawler 11 so as to be engaged with the convex and concave parts of the endless belt 32 of the sub-crawler 31, out of the respective sub-crawlers 31, being moved to the predetermined position by rotation of the endless belt 23 of the main crawler 11. First driving means and second driving means can rotationally drive the endless belt 23 of the main crawler 11 and the driving gear 12, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】不整地での走破性に優れ、より少ない駆動手段で制御性にも優れたクローラ式全方向駆動体を提供する。【解決手段】主クローラ11が、複数の副クローラ31を連結して成る無端ベルト23を有し、平面状の接地面で接地して移動可能になっている。各副クローラ31は、主クローラ11の無端ベルト23の幅方向に沿って回転するよう並べて連結されており、各副クローラ31の無端ベルト32は、その長さ方向に沿って外表面に交互に凹凸が形成されている。駆動用歯車12が、主クローラ11の無端ベルト23の内側の所定の位置で、各副クローラ31のうち、主クローラ11の無端ベルト23の回転により所定の位置に移動してきた副クローラ31の無端ベルト32の凹凸と噛み合うよう設けられている。第1駆動手段が、主クローラ11の無端ベルト23を、第2駆動手段が、駆動用歯車12を回転駆動可能になっている。【選択図】図1
