Repeatable and reconfigurable manned lunar rover

Abstract

The invention discloses a repeatable and reconfigurable manned moon rover. A front frame and a rear frame are both hinged to a middle frame, so that the front frame and the rear frame can be folded oppositely. Folding seats are installed on the front frame and / or the rear frame. A battery is installed on the middle frame. Middle wheels are arranged symmetrically on the left side and the right side of the middle frame correspondingly. Front wheels are symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of the front end of the front frame correspondingly. Rear wheels are symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of the rear end of the rear frame. The front wheels, the middle wheels and the rear wheels are of the same structure. A shaft of a hub motor of the front wheels and a shaft of a hub motor of the rear wheels are hinged to a suspension system of the front frame and a suspension system of the rear frame correspondingly, so that the front wheels and the rear wheels can swing in the pitching direction. When the front frame and the rear frame are oppositely folded in place, the front wheels and the rear wheels on the corresponding sides are attached together. According to the repeatable and reconfigurable manned moon rover, the collection rate is high; folding and unfolding can be coordinated synchronously; the rover is light, flexible and capable of folding and unfolding automatically, the terrain matching function is achieved, and the rover is suitable for complex terrains including moon surface hillsides, ravines and the like; and the performance requirements for the good dynamic property, throughput capacity and comfort, high stability and the like are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a repeatable and reconfigurable manned lunar vehicle. Background technique [0002] Manned lunar exploration is not only a country's level of scientific and technological development, but also a concrete manifestation of comprehensive national strength. To realize lunar surface exploration, transportation of effective scientific payloads, collection of samples, and long-term residence of astronauts on the lunar surface, the manned lunar vehicle must be an indispensable and important medium and detection tool. In order to effectively guarantee the safety of astronauts and efficiently complete the mission of lunar surface exploration, the manned lunar vehicle must have good mobility, carrying capacity, full support capability and human-computer interaction capability on the lunar surface. [0003] Various countries in the world have proposed manned lunar rovers of different structures, which have become one of the hot issues in ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the folding ratio of the chassis of the Apollo manned lunar rover is small, and the Ackermann steering scheme of traditional vehicles is adopted, so that when it is driving on a steep slope or a cross slope, the manned lunar rover is prone to bumps and vibrations, which reduces the manned capacity.
