Inventor Blom-Bakke, Andreas

Abstract

The invention describes a mecanum wheel comprising a plurality of rollers each with a rolling surface and an axel and a wheel frame for mounting the rollers with mounting units holding respective axel ends of each roller. Each mounting unit comprise a mounting unit recess with an opening, wherein the mounting unit recess interacts with the respective axel end for locking the roller against movements in directions having a component radially inwards. Each mounting unit further comprise a rebounding roller retaining structure positioned at least partly inside an insertion path causing resistance when the axel end is pushed or pulled past the roller retaining structure into, and out from, a resting position in the mounting unit recess, thus preventing unintended release in a radial outward directed component.

Abstract

The invention concerns a drive unit for moving a door relative to a door's opening. The drive unit comprises a drive motor and a wheel transmission assembly arranged for transfer of power to a drive wheel configured for engagement with a running surface for moving the door. The wheel transmission comprises a transfer wheel driven by the drive motor. A movable wheel carrier comprises a first running wheel and a second running wheel arranged in in engagement with the transfer wheel. The movable wheel carrier is arranged for displacement between a free wheel position where the first and second running wheel are arranged disengaged from the drive wheel for no power transfer to occur from the drive motor to the drive wheel, at least one running position where either of the first and second running wheel is positioned in engagement with the drive wheel for the transfer of power from the drive motor to the drive wheel.
