Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, in particular to a distributed electric drive automatic leveling track chassis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hilly land accounts for about 35% of the total cultivated land area in China, and is an important base for grain, oil, sugar, vegetables, and fruit and tea production. The hilly area not only has ups and downs in the ground, but also has a certain slope, and the land is small and irregular in shape, with many ridges, resulting in low mechanization level and slow mechanization progress in the hilly area. The traditional wheeled chassis has poor obstacle crossing ability when working in the hilly area, and is not suitable for ditching and deep loosening, etc. which require large torque. The traditional track chassis is prone to rollover when driving and working on the slope, affecting production safety. Chinese patent 2023114253508 discloses a two-layer frame track leveling tractor, which realizes leveling of the tractor body by hinging the upper frame containing the tractor body and the lower frame containing the track chassis. However, this patent can only level left and right, and cannot realize omnidirectional leveling. Chinese patent 2024102816802 discloses a four-wheel independent steering and active leveling chassis suitable for hilly areas. The chassis can realize four-wheel independent steering and automatic leveling of the chassis by installing steering and leveling mechanisms above each triangular track.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the auxiliary frame 2 includes servo cylinder mounting bracket 201, rocker bracket 202, frame side control arm mounting bracket 203, which are respectively fixed to the inside, upper side and right side of the auxiliary frame 2, servo cylinder 4 includes servo cylinder body 401 and servo cylinder rod 402, the servo cylinder body 401 is hinged to the servo cylinder mounting bracket 201 through the first pin shaft 204, the servo cylinder rod 402 is hinged to the second hinge part of the rocker 5 through the second pin shaft 403. The first hinge part of the rocker 5 is hinged to the rocker bracket 202 through the third pin shaft 205, and the third hinge part of the rocker 5 is hinged to the upper end of the shock absorber 6 through the fourth pin shaft 601. The lower end of the shock absorber 6 is hinged to the shock absorber mounting bracket 701 fixed on the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 through the fourth pin shaft 601, and the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 and the H-shaped transverse arm 8 are hinged to the frame side transverse arm mounting bracket 203 and the track side transverse arm mounting bracket 303 through the fifth pin shaft 206 and the sixth pin shaft 304, respectively, so that the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 can be vertically lifted. The servo cylinder rod 402 is extended and retracted, pushing the rocker 5 to rotate around the third pin shaft 205, further driving the shock absorber 6 to push the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 to rotate around the fifth pin shaft 206, and under the constraint of the H-shaped transverse arm 8, the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 is vertically lifted.

[0032] The working plane where the second hinge part of the servo cylinder 4 and the rocker 5 is located and the working plane where the third hinge part of the rocker 5 and the shock absorber 6 are located are a certain distance apart, so that a pair of servo cylinders 4 on the left and right sides of each auxiliary frame 2 can be installed in staggered positions, and a pair of electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 on the left and right sides of each auxiliary frame 2 are symmetrical.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3 The double wishbone structure forms a parallelogram structure on the working plane, so that the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 can only move vertically above the ground. The Y-shaped transverse arm 7 in the double wishbone structure is located above the H-shaped transverse arm 8, the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 has two hinge parts on the frame side and one hinge part on the track side, the H-shaped transverse arm 8 has two hinge parts on the frame side and two hinge parts on the track side, the midpoints of the two hinge parts of the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 on the frame side, the hinge part of the Y-shaped transverse arm 7 on the track side, the midpoints of the two hinge parts of the H-shaped transverse arm 8 on the frame side, and the midpoints of the two hinge parts of the H-shaped transverse arm 8 on the track side form a parallelogram perpendicular to the ground. The Y-shaped transverse arm 7 is fixed with a shock absorber mounting bracket 701, the other end of the shock absorber 6 is hinged to the shock absorber mounting bracket 701, and the working plane of the shock absorber is coplanar with the parallelogram.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 includes a wheel-side motor 301, a wheel-side reducer 302, a track-side crossarm mounting bracket 303, a sixth pin 304, a triangular connecting plate 305, a flange 306, a bearing 307, a drive wheel 308, an adapter plate 309, a rubber track 310, an assembly plate 311, a triangular connecting plate fixing shaft 312, and a track wheel 313; the three track-side crossarm mounting brackets 303 are respectively fixedly connected to the triangular connecting plate 305. The wheel-side motor 301 is fixedly connected to the wheel-side reducer 302 by bolts, and the wheel-side reducer 302 housing, the triangular connecting plate 305, and the flange 306 are fixedly connected together by screws. The triangular connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the assembly plate 311 via the triangular connecting plate fixing shaft 312. The track wheels 313 are connected to the assembly plate 311 via their respective shafts, thereby allowing the weight of the chassis, wheel-side motor 301, and wheel-side reducer 302 to be transmitted to the ground. The output shaft of the wheel-side reducer 302 is fixedly connected to the adapter plate 309 via a flat key. The adapter plate 309 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 308 via bolts. The inner ring of the bearing 307 is connected to the adapter plate 309, and the outer ring is connected to the flange 306, thereby allowing the torque of the wheel-side reducer 302 to be transmitted to the drive wheel 308. The rubber track 310 is installed on the outside of the drive wheel 308 and the track wheels 313.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the subframe 2 includes a main support and servo cylinder mounting brackets 201, rocker arm mounting brackets 202, and side crossarm mounting brackets 203 mounted on the main support. The servo cylinder mounting brackets 201 are fixed inside the subframe 2 and are used to mount four servo cylinders 4. Four side crossarm mounting brackets 203 are fixed to each side of the subframe 2 for mounting Y-type control arms 7 and H-type control arms 8. Two rocker arm mounting brackets 202 are fixed to the upper side of the subframe for mounting rockers 5. Two limit switches 207 are fixed opposite each other on the upper side of the subframe to prevent the servo cylinders 4 from colliding with the subframe 2 during their swing around the first pivot 204. The internal width of the frame 1 is b. A control box 9 is welded from steel plates inside the frame 1. The length and height of the control box 9 are the same as the frame, and its width is a. The width a of the control box is less than the width b of the frame, which is to reduce the distance between the wheel-side motors on both sides of the chassis, thus reducing the width of the chassis and increasing its passability. A battery 901 is installed at the bottom of the control box 9. Above the battery 901, a controller mounting plate 905 is fixed to the wall of the control box 9 with screws. The wheel-side motor controller 902, the servo cylinder controller 903, and the chassis controller 904 are fixed to the controller mounting plate 905. The chassis controller 904 generates control signals based on the tilt angle of the chassis and sends them to the servo cylinder controller, which directly controls the movement of the four servo cylinders until the chassis is level. In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the chassis can be directly measured by an IMU sensor.

[0036] As shown in Figure 6 , the wheel-side motor 301 and the wheel-side reducer 302 of the front triangular track assembly 3 are towards the rear side, and the wheel-side motor 301 and the wheel-side reducer 302 of the rear triangular track assembly 3 are towards the front side, so as to reduce the chassis length, reduce the turning radius, and increase the passability.

[0037] As shown in Figure 7 , when the distributed electric drive automatic leveling chassis is running on a slope with an angle of a, the heading angle (the direction of the chassis speed x b and the earth coordinate x g ) ψ = 0°, due to the height difference between the two sides of the track, the frame will be tilted left and right, and the risk of rollover will easily occur. At this time, the chassis needs to be transversely leveled. The specific implementation process is as follows: the servo cylinders 4 of the two tracks on the left side are controlled to be elongated, the rocker arms 5 are pushed to rotate outward, the shock absorbers 6 are further pushed to move downward, the Y-shaped control arms 7 are further pushed to rotate downward, and the two electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 on the left side are pushed to descend, so that the chassis on the left side is lifted. Conversely, the servo cylinders 4 of the two electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 on the right side of the chassis are shortened, the two electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 on the right side of the chassis are raised, and the frame 1 on the right side of the chassis is lowered. The two tracks on the left side and the two tracks on the right side cooperate with each other, and finally the frame 1 is leveled.

[0038] As shown in Figure 8 , when the distributed electric drive automatic leveling chassis is running on a slope with an angle of a, the heading angle (the direction of the chassis speed x b and the earth coordinate x g ) 90°, the frame 1 is parallel to the slope, at this time the front and rear directions of the frame 1 are inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the chassis needs to be longitudinally leveled. The specific implementation process is as follows: the servo cylinders 4 of the two electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 on the front side are controlled to be shortened, the rocker arms 5 are pushed to rotate inward, the shock absorbers 6 are driven to move upward, the Y-shaped control arms 7 are further driven to rotate upward, the two tracks on the front side are driven to rise, and the chassis is lowered relative to the ground. Conversely, the servo cylinders 4 of the two tracks on the rear side are elongated, the two tracks on the rear side are pushed to descend, and the chassis is raised relative to the ground. The two tracks on the front side and the two tracks on the rear side cooperate with each other, and finally the frame 1 is leveled.

[0039] As shown in Figure 9 , when the distributed electric drive automatic leveling chassis is running on a slope with an angle of a, the heading angle (the direction of the chassis speed x b and the earth coordinate x gWhen the angle (the included angle between the two sides of the vehicle body) ψ is between 0° and 90°, the vehicle body is inclined, and the chassis needs to be leveled, but it cannot be leveled simply by horizontal or vertical leveling. The specific implementation process is as follows: since the right front electric drive triangular track assembly 3 is located at the highest point of the slope, the servo cylinder 4 controlling the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 needs to be retracted to the shortest, so that the right front electric drive triangular track assembly 3 is the highest, and the right upper side of the vehicle frame is the lowest. The servo cylinder 4 corresponding to the left rear electric drive triangular track assembly 3 located at the lowest point of the slope needs to be extended to the longest, so that the electric drive triangular track assembly 3 is the lowest, and the left lower side of the vehicle frame 1 is the highest. At this time, the positions of the other electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 are between the highest point and the lowest point, and the two electric drive triangular track assemblies 3 need to be adjusted to the appropriate positions, so that the vehicle frame 1 is leveled.

[0040] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected or integrally connected, or it can be mechanically connected. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, according to the teachings of the present application, changes, modifications, replacements and variations of the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The output shaft of the wheel-side reducer (302) is used to drive the drive wheel (308). The wheel-side motors (301) of the pair of electric drive triangular track assemblies (3) on the front side face the rear side, and the wheel-side motors (301) of the pair of electric drive triangular track assemblies (3) on the rear side face the front side.

7. A distributed electric drive automatic leveling tracked chassis according to claim 6, characterized in that, The wheel-side reducer (302) is fixed on the triangular connecting plate (305) by a flange (306). A bearing (307) is provided between the flange (306) and the drive wheel (308). The inner ring of the bearing (307) contacts the adapter plate (309) fixed to the center of the drive wheel (308), and the outer ring contacts the flange (306). The output shaft of the wheel-side reducer (302) is keyed to the adapter plate (309), so that the torque of the output shaft of the wheel-side reducer (302) is transmitted to the drive wheel (308).

8. A distributed electric drive automatic leveling tracked chassis according to claim 1, characterized in that, The width of the control box (9) is smaller than the width of the frame (1). The control box (9) contains a battery (901), a wheel-side motor controller (902), a servo cylinder controller (903), and a chassis controller (904). Each controller is fixed by a controller mounting plate (905). The chassis controller (904) calculates the height that the four electric drive triangular track assemblies (3) need to be adjusted according to the tilt angle of the frame and generates a corresponding electrical signal input to the servo cylinder controller (903). The servo cylinder controller (903) directly drives the servo cylinder to extend and retract until the frame is horizontal. The wheel-side motor controller (902) is used to drive the electric drive triangular track assembly (3) forward or backward. The battery (901) is used to power the controller.
