연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The chassis assembly of claim 1, wherein the gearbox comprises an axle-receiving portion that comprises a through-hole extending through the gearbox, the through-hole having a through-hole diameter sized to accommodate an axle. 6. The chassis assembly of claim 5, wherein, in the storage configuration, the axle receiving portion is positioned above the lower plane, and the through-hole is at least partially obstructed by the chassis. 7. The chassis assembly of claim 5, wherein, in the operating configuration, at least a portion of the gearbox is positioned beneath the lower plane, and the axle-receiving portion is configured to receive an axle through the through-hole. 8. The chassis assembly of claim 5, wherein the chassis comprises an axle passage configured to receive an axle therethrough, wherein, in the storage configuration, at least a portion of the gearbox is positioned to obstruct the axle passage, and wherein, in the operating configuration, the axle passage is concentrically aligned with the through-hole of the axle-receiving portion of the gearbox to permit insertion of the axle through the axle passage and the through-hole. 9. The chassis assembly of claim 8, further comprising the axle extending through the through-hole and the axle passage, wherein the axle is configured to retain the gearbox in the operating configuration and prevent movement of the gearbox to the storage configuration. 10. The chassis assembly of claim 8, wherein the electric motor is a first electric motor, wherein the gearbox is a first gearbox having a first through-hole, and wherein the chassis assembly further comprises a second electric motor coupled to a second gearbox having a second through-hole. 11. A children's ride-on vehicle, comprising: the chassis assembly according to claim 10;an axle extending through the first through-hole of the first gearbox, the axle passage of the chassis, and the second through-hole of the second gearbox;a first drive wheel rotatably coupled to the chassis and coupled to the first gearbox via the axle; anda second drive wheel rotatably coupled to the chassis and coupled to the second gearbox via the axle. 12. The children's ride-on vehicle of claim 11, further comprising: a battery assembly adapted to provide power to the first electric motor and the second electric motor;a body coupled to the chassis and including a seat sized for a child operator; anda steering assembly including a steering mechanism adapted to receive steering inputs from a child sitting on the seat. 13. The chassis assembly of claim 1, wherein the chassis further comprises a channel configured to receive at least a portion of the gearbox, and wherein the channel is configured to define the path of movement of the gearbox. 14. The chassis assembly of claim 13, wherein the path of movement of the gearbox is linear. 15. The chassis assembly of claim 14, wherein the channel comprises an opening facing away from the lower plane of the chassis, wherein the opening is defined by an inboard portion facing an interior space of the chassis, and wherein the inboard portion comprises a cut-out that is sized to receive at least a portion of the electric motor. 16. The chassis assembly of claim 15, wherein, in the storage configuration, the gearbox is positioned at least partially within the channel such that the electric motor is spaced apart from the cut-out by a first distance, and wherein, in the operating configuration, the gearbox is positioned at least partially within the channel such that the electric motor is spaced apart from the cut-out by a second distance, the second distance being smaller than the first distance. 17. The chassis assembly of claim 16, wherein the cut-out comprises an upward-facing semi-circular region, and wherein the upward-facing semi-circular region has a cut-out diameter that is greater than a motor diameter of the electric motor. 18.
