Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a tracked vehicle device, in particular to a chain type rotating wheel system and a chassis design method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current existing omnidirectional tracked and high efficiency steering tracked patent literatures are based on principles and structures, without quantitative design indicators or actual design specific structure quantitative indicators, and the vehicle operation is not stable, and the practical application is limited.

[0003] For example, the omnidirectional tracked disclosed in the patent literature with the application number 201210347201.X is mainly composed of six parts, including a driving wheel, a tracked plate, a roller, a weight wheel, a tow belt wheel and an induction wheel. The center axis of the roller and the center axis of the driving wheel form a certain offset angle, and the offset angle ranges from (-90°, 0°) or (0°, 90°), and the preferred angle is 45°.

[0004] For another example, the tracked omnidirectional mobile platform disclosed in the patent literature with the application number 201210347188.8 is usually composed of four omnidirectional tracked and the tracked layout is a longitudinal symmetric structure. As shown in the attached drawing 7 of the specification, the small rectangular frame in the drawing represents the omnidirectional tracked, and the series of oblique lines in the frame represent the axis direction of the series of ground rollers on the tracked, and the four dotted lines represent the axis direction of the driving wheel. Due to the special structure of the omnidirectional tracked, the tracked on the platform needs to adopt two kinds of installation methods, so the roller offset angle on the platform has two kinds, and the angle is usually 45°. The roller offset angles of the A and C tracked are the same, and the roller offset angles of the B and D tracked are just opposite.

[0005] However, the above two patent literatures do not have the roller angle design, and only mention that 45° is the usual setting angle. There is no design relationship between the roller and the shaft, and there is no design relationship between the tracked and the vehicle body, and the operation is not stable in practice.

[0006] For example, the patent document with application number 201410655662.2 discloses a high-efficiency steering track and its platform. The high-efficiency steering track includes a track body, which is connected by a plurality of track plates. Installation supports are arranged on the outer sides of the track plates, and rollers are fixedly arranged on the installation supports. Meshing shafts are arranged between the track plates. The meshing shafts are meshed with matching driving wheels and guide wheels arranged between the track plates. Load wheels are arranged on the inner sides of the ground-engaging ends of the track plates. The load wheels are arranged on the inner sides of the relative inner sides. The high-efficiency steering track platform includes a platform body, and high-efficiency steering tracks are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the platform body. The track plates are provided with two rollers with different bias angles, so that the track platform can control the motion trajectory during steering, and the motion control mechanism and the transmission mechanism are simplified. Thus, the flexibility and maneuverability of the track platform during steering are improved, the service life of the track is prolonged, and the track platform can be smoothly steered. However, the design relationship between the rollers and the shafts is not disclosed, and the design relationship between the track and the vehicle body is not disclosed. The track plates are raised during walking, and the track cannot be practically applied.

[0007] For another example, the patent document with application number 201910747416.2 discloses a multi-support multi-roller track member and a track. The track member includes a track plate, and rollers are installed on the track plate. The track plate includes a plate body, a support member is arranged on the plate body, and track pins are arranged on the two sides of the plate body. The support member includes two roller supports and a roller support seat arranged coaxially and separated in sequence. Two rollers are installed on the support member through roller bolts. The threaded end of the roller bolt is screwed with a locking nut after penetrating the through hole of the two roller supports, and the head of the roller bolt is arranged on the positioning groove of the roller support seat. The roller can rotate on the screw rod of the roller bolt. The roller forms a bias angle relative to the track pin. One roller is arranged between the two roller supports, and the other roller is arranged between the roller support and the roller support seat. The track member has the advantages of compact structure, long service life, low noise and vibration, strong adaptability to various road surfaces, and the like. However, the content of the roller passing the center line is disclosed, and a formula is given. Although the running stability is improved, the single shaft can only reduce noise and vibration, and the problem cannot be fundamentally solved. The design relationship between the track and the vehicle body is not disclosed, and the track has defects in application and is limited in use.

[0008] In summary, it is urgent to design a chain-type rotating wheel system and a chassis design method that can improve the stability of the platform, improve the reliability and service life of the chain-type rotating wheel, highlight the practical application design, form a reliable market buying point, and achieve economic benefits. SUMMARY

The chain type rotating wheel system is a kind of special walking mechanism, which cannot be considered as a track or a wheel, and is a kind of special walking mechanism. It can flexibly and easily steer on the paved road with small resistance radius, and will not cause scratches and damage to the road surface like traditional tracked vehicles, and has good off-road capability and water driving performance, and has stable running performance, and is convenient for scale practical application.

[0012] In some embodiments, the diameter D of the pin shaft hole and the distance P between the outer edge of the roller and the center axis of the pin shaft hole satisfy the following relationship: P≤D / 2

[0013] In some embodiments, the front rotating wheel assembly comprises two first supports, a first axle installed on the two first supports, and at least two first rollers installed on the first axle, wherein at least one first roller is located outside the two first supports, and at least one first roller is located between the two first supports.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rear rotating wheel assembly comprises two second supports, a second axle installed on the two second supports, and at least two second rollers installed on the second axle, wherein at least one second roller is located outside the two second supports, and at least one second roller is located between the two second supports.

[0016] In some embodiments, the front rotating wheel assembly is a set located at the center of the front end of the chain plate, and the first roller of the front rotating wheel assembly is arranged laterally along the track; the rear rotating wheel assembly is two sets, and the two sets of rear rotating wheel assemblies are arranged symmetrically.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first pin hole of the chain plate is connected to the second pin hole of the front chain plate by a double pin unit; the second pin hole of the chain plate is connected to the first pin hole of the rear chain plate by another double pin unit.

[0018] In some embodiments, the dual-pin unit includes two pins and two end assemblies, one pin passing through a first pin hole of a chain plate and the other pin passing through a second pin hole of another chain plate, and then the two pins are connected at their respective ends by end assemblies.

[0019] In some embodiments, the shaft end assembly includes two chain links and two bushings located between the two chain links, each chain link having two through holes through which a pin passes, and the bushings fitting onto the pin.

[0020] On the other hand, the present invention provides a chassis design method based on a chain-driven rotating wheel system, comprising:

[0021] Step 1: Determine the number and layout of the first and second rollers;

[0022] Step 2: Initialize the lateral angle α between each of the first and second rollers and the track, and calculate the vehicle steering efficiency K based on angle α. The steering efficiency K is the weighted lateral resistance value of each roller. The longitudinal resistance weights superimposed on each roller The ratio; input the angles to calculate the steering efficiency. If the value is within the expected range, the angle α of each roller is determined to be feasible; if the value is not within the expected range, the angle α of each roller is determined to be infeasible, and some of the angles α are adjusted until the value is within the expected range.

Further, since each roller located on the outer side is pressed on the pin shaft hole, but does not exceed the edge of the entire chain type plate, the pressing force of the roller of each chain type plate unit does not affect the running of the adjacent chain type plate unit, so that each chain type plate unit can independently run. Since the roller is pressed on the pin shaft hole, the pressure of the roller is transmitted to the two pin shaft holes of the chain type plate, so that the chain type plate unit runs stably as a whole.

[0026] In addition, the existing design is only theoretical and does not have quantitative design principles, and the structure cannot be well applied in practice. The chassis design method based on the chain type rotating wheel system provided by the application can realize the practicality of the chain type rotating wheel and the vehicle chassis, and the working efficiency and steering efficiency of the vehicle are determined, so that the design parameters can be adjusted to maximize the benefits, produce significant economic benefits, improve the stable performance of the platform operation, improve the reliability and service life of the chain type rotating wheel system, and highlight the practical application design.

[0052] In addition, the application also provides a chassis design method based on the chain rotating wheel system, which comprises:

[0053] Step one, determining the number and layout of the first rollers 4121 and the second rollers 4131;

[0054] Step two, initializing the angle a between the first rollers 4121, the second rollers 4131 and the lateral direction of the track 4, and calculating the steering efficiency K according to the angle a, the steering efficiency K being the ratio of the lateral resistance weight value of the superposition of the rollers and the longitudinal resistance weight value of the superposition of the rollers ; inputting the angle to calculate the value of the steering efficiency , if the value is within the expected range, the angle a of the rollers is feasible, if the value is not within the expected range, the angle a of the rollers is not feasible, and some of the angles a are adjusted until the value is within the expected range;

[0055] Step three, according to the steering efficiency K and the vehicle correction coefficient T, the vehicle comprehensive steering efficiency E is calculated, E = KT; wherein the vehicle correction coefficient is related to the ground length L of the track 4 and the width B between the tracks 4, L≤2B; L and B are initialized, and the comprehensive steering efficiency E is calculated, whether the comprehensive steering efficiency E is in the expected range, if not in the expected range, the initial value of L and B is adjusted until it is in the expected range.
