[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 ​​​The embodiment provides an electric double-primary direct-drive crawler chassis, which is applied to mechanical dragging, vehicle power, tanks and armored vehicles, and comprises two groups of double-side linear induction motor primaries 1 and two composite crawlers 2, one group of double-side linear induction motor primary 1 corresponds to one composite crawler 2, the double-side linear induction motor primary 1 and the composite crawler 2 are arranged on a chassis body, the double-side linear induction motor primary 1 comprises a winding 102, the winding 102 is used for connecting an alternating-current power supply, each composite crawler 2 passes through the winding 102 of one double-side linear induction motor primary 1, and the double-side linear induction motor primary 1 drives the composite crawler 2 to move. After the double-side linear induction motor primary 1 is connected with alternating current, a traveling wave magnetic field is generated, the composite crawler 2 induces current in the traveling wave magnetic field, and the composite crawler 2 obtains traction force under the action of the current in the magnetic field. In the embodiment, the linear induction motor is directly used to drive the composite crawler 2, mechanical transmission links and driving wheels are omitted, greater carrying space is obtained, power cabin arrangement is more flexible, and transmission wear and tear, faults and mechanical noise are reduced.

[0028] Specifically, in the embodiment, the composite crawler 2 is a double crawler, each crawler comprises a plurality of crawler plates 201, a plurality of crawler pins 202, a plurality of end couplings 204, a plurality of middle couplings 205 and a plurality of positioning blocks 203, both ends of each crawler plate 201 of the two crawlers are provided with a pin hole in correspondence, the crawler pin 202 is arranged in the pin hole, that is, the same crawler pin 202 is arranged in the crawler plate 201 of the two crawlers respectively, both ends of the adjacent crawler pin 202 are connected through the end coupling 204, the middle part of the adjacent crawler pin 202 is connected through the middle coupling 205, the middle coupling 205 is located between the two crawlers, the positioning block 203 is located in the middle part of the end coupling 204, and the end surface of the positioning block 203 abuts against the step of the side surface of the crawler pin 202, so that the rotation of the crawler pin 202 is prevented and the axial movement of the crawler pin 202 is limited.

[0029] In the embodiment, the crawler plate 201 comprises a steel back plate 20102 and an aluminum plate 20101, the middle part of the steel back plate 20102 has a flat hole, both ends of the steel back plate 20102 are provided with the crawler pin 202, the aluminum plate 20101 is arranged in the hole, the aluminum plate 20101 generates induced current, under the action of the traveling wave magnetic field generated by the primary, thrust is formed, the steel back plate 20102 is made of a non-magnetic material, and the coupling strength of the crawler is improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, the primary of the dual-sided linear induction motor 1 includes several silicon steel sheets 101 and windings 102. The silicon steel sheets 101 are stacked together and connected to the chassis body by bolts through a housing 103 and an end cap 104. The silicon steel sheets 101 are stacked together, and the windings 102 are wound around the teeth of the silicon steel sheets 101. The silicon steel sheets 101 are located on the upper and lower sides of the composite track 2, respectively. This embodiment uses a dual-sided induction primary, that is, it includes a first induction primary and a second induction primary. The first induction primary is located above the composite track 2, and the second induction primary is located below the composite track 2. The first induction primary and the second induction primary generate mutually attractive vertical forces with the composite track 2, and the two vertical forces can balance each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, several track roller sets 3 are also included. The track roller sets 3 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the composite track 2. Each track roller set 3 includes a clamping plate 301, a shaft 303, and a bearing 302. The clamping plate 301 is fixed to the end cover 104 of the primary of the double-sided linear induction motor 1 by bolts. One end of the shaft 303 is interference-fitted with the clamping plate 301, and the other end of the shaft 303 is inserted into the hole of the end cover 104. The bearing 302 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft 303. In the static state, there is a small gap between the outer ring of the bearing 302 and the raceway of the composite track 2, so they do not contact each other and do not generate friction. When the vehicle is running bumpy, the composite track 2 will bounce up and down. The track roller sets 3 limit the size of the bounce of the composite track 2, ensuring that the magnetic gap is within a reasonable range.

[0032] This embodiment also includes several road wheels 6 and a suspension device. The road wheels 6 are connected to the chassis body through the suspension device, and each road wheel 6 is in contact with the composite track 2.

[0033] This embodiment also includes two track adjusters 4 and two idler wheels 5. Each track adjuster 4 is mounted on the chassis body, and the two track adjusters 4 are located at the front end and rear end of the chassis body, respectively. One track adjuster 4 is used to support one idler wheel 5. Each idler wheel 5 is in contact with the composite track 2 and is used to tension the composite track 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting device 205 is provided with an induction tooth, which meshes with the induction wheel 5 and the road wheel 6 to correct the travel direction of the composite track 2.

[0035] When the vehicle encounters bumps during its movement, the road wheel 6 moves upward, the upper part of the composite track 2 becomes loose, the force exerted by the composite track 2 on the idler wheel 5 decreases, and the cylinder of the track adjuster 4 extends outward under the action of spring tension, causing the idler wheel 5 to tension the track; conversely, when the road wheel 6 moves downward, the composite track is tensioned, putting pressure on the idler wheel 5, causing the idler wheel 5 to drive the cylinder to retract, compressing the spring and storing energy.

[0036] The principles and implementation manners of the present application are described in the specification by using specific examples, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manners and application ranges will be changed. In conclusion, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
