The method's execution process is as follows:

[0084] Example

[0085] A method for determining the interaction force between a crawler system and soft ground, comprising the following steps:

[0086] Step 1: Obtain the mechanical properties of soft ground, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 They are respectively the pressure settlement characteristics and shear force and displacement characteristics of soft ground;

[0087] Step 2, give the initial value z0 of the track travel system sinking amount;

[0088] Step 3: Divide the ground track into three parts, such as Figure 3 As shown, they are the first, second and third sections respectively. Assume that the track system has n road wheels, the track section before the first road wheel is the first section, the track section below the i-th road wheel is marked as Li, then the second section includes L1, L2, ... Ln, the track section between the i-th road wheel and the i+1-th road wheel is marked as Qi(i+1), then the third section includes Q12, Q23, ..., Q(n-1)n;

[0089] Step 4: Set the initial value of the shape parameter of the first segment to α0, and the initial value of the shape parameter of Qi(i+1) in the third segment to α i ;

[0090] Step 5, calculate the position coordinates and derivative values ​​of the two end points of the first segment;

[0091] Step 6: Based on the pitch angle β of the crawler system, the longitudinal slip state s of the crawler system, the mechanical properties of the soft ground obtained in step 1, the initial value z0 of the crawler system sinkage given in step 2, and the initial value α0 of the shape parameter of the first section in step 4, establish the force balance equation of the first section in the horizontal direction and calculate the tension at both ends of the first section. The force condition of the first section of the crawler is as follows: Figure 4 As shown;

[0092] Step 7: Based on the initial value α0 of the shape parameter of the first segment given in step 4, calculate the difference δ between the vertical resultant force of the tension force at both ends of the first segment, the soft ground pressure and the soft ground shear force obtained in step 6 and the gravity of the first segment itself. w0 ;

[0093] Step 8: Given the judgment value δ w0_critical , when |δ w0 |>δw0_critical When α0 is changed, repeat steps 5 to 7 until |δ w0 |≤δ w0_critical When , it is considered that the first segment reaches the force balance under this shape parameter;

[0094] Step 9: Based on the initial value α of the shape parameter of the Qi(i+1) track segment in step 4 i , the mechanical properties of the soft ground obtained in step 1, the shape parameters of the first section obtained in step 8, and the tension at both ends of the first section obtained in step 6, calculate the tension at both ends of Li, where the force on the crawler track of the Li section is as follows Figure 5 As shown;

[0095] Step 10: Calculate the position coordinates and derivative values ​​of Qi(i+1) at both ends of the third segment based on the tension at both ends of Li obtained in step 9 and the mechanical properties of the soft ground obtained in step 1.

[0096] Step 11: Establish the force balance equation of Qi(i+1) in the third segment in the horizontal direction to obtain the tension at both ends of Qi(i+1) in the third segment. The force condition of Qi(i+1) in the third segment is as follows: Figure 6 As shown;

[0097] Step 12: Based on the mechanical properties of the soft ground medium obtained in step 1, calculate the difference δ between the resultant vertical force of the tension force, soft ground pressure, and shear force at both ends of Qi(i+1) in the third segment obtained in step 11 and the gravity of Qi(i+1) itself in the third segment. wi ;

[0098] Step 13: Given the judgment value δ wi_critical , when |δ wi |>δ wi_critical When changing α i Repeat steps 9 to 12 until |δ wi |≤δ wi_critical When , it is considered that Qi(i+1) in the third segment reaches force equilibrium under this shape parameter;

[0099] Step 14: Calculate the difference δ between the vertical force exerted by the soft ground on the crawler track and the load on the crawler system. w ;

[0100] Step 15: Given the judgment value δ w_critical , when |δ w |>δ w_critical When , change the value of z0 and repeat steps 3 to 14 until |δ w |≤δ w_criticalWhen the track reaches the ground contact section, it is considered that the track reaches the force balance, and the interaction force between the track system and the soft ground is obtained. The interaction force includes traction, motion resistance and pull rod tension. The final calculation result of the track ground pressure distribution is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0101] like Figure 8 The calculated results of the hook traction force shown are basically consistent with the virtual prototype simulation results within the full slip range, which verifies the accuracy of the method.

[0102] Specifically, the mechanical properties of the soft ground in step 1 include pressure settlement characteristics and shear force-shear displacement characteristics. The pressure settlement characteristics obtained by the disc loading method can be expressed as formula 32, and the shear force-shear displacement characteristics of the soft ground obtained by the shear test on the soft ground can be expressed as formula 33.

[0103]

[0104] Where p is the pressure of the soft ground, kPa; z is the lower limit of the test disc, m; τ is the shear stress of the soft ground, kPa; j is the shear displacement of the soft ground, m.

[0105] Specifically, in step 2, the initial sinking amount of the crawler system is set to 0.01m;

[0106] Specifically, in step 3, it is assumed that the crawler system has 4 road wheels.

[0107] Specifically, in step 4, the shape parameter α0 of the first segment is set to 0 degrees, and the shape parameters of the third segments Q12, Q23, and Q34 are set to 0.1 degrees, 0.1 degrees, and 0.1 degrees respectively;

[0108] Specifically, in step 5, when the pitch angle of the crawler driving system is 0 degrees, the position coordinates and derivative values ​​of the two end points of the first segment are [x 01 , z 01 , k 01 ]=[-0.005,0,1.732],[x ,2 , z 02 , k 02 ]=[-0.002,0.074,1.732];

[0109] Specifically, in step 6, when the slip rate of the crawler driving system is 0, the tension forces at the two end points of the first section are calculated as follows: 01 The tension at point x is 3000N, which is the initial tension of the crawler system. 02 The tension at the point is 3053.4N;

[0110] Specifically, the difference δ in step 7 w0 =321.5N, which means that the resultant vertical force of the external force on the first track section is greater than the gravity of the track section.

[0111] Specifically, the given judgment value δ in step 8 w0_critical =0.1N,δ w0 >δ w0_critical , so it is necessary to increase the α0 set in step 4. By repeating steps 5 to 7 multiple times, when |δ w0 |≤δ w0_critical When , it is considered that the first section of the crawler reaches the force balance under this shape parameter. Through iterative calculation, the final α0 value obtained is 12.4 degrees.

[0112] Specifically, in step 9, when the initial value of the shape parameter of the given Q12 crawler segment is 0.1 degrees, the tension forces at both ends of L1 are calculated to be x 02 The tension at point x is 3053.4N. 11 The tension at the point is 4012.4N;

[0113] Specifically, in step 10, the position coordinates and derivative values ​​of the two end points of Q12 are calculated as [x 11 , z 11 , k 11 ]=[0.034,0.159,-0.039],[x 12 , z 12 , k 12 ]=[0.38,0.163,0.041];

[0114] Specifically, in step 11, by calculating the force balance equation of the third segment Q12 in the horizontal direction, the tensioning force at both ends of the third segment Q12 can be obtained as x 11 The tension at point x is 4012.4N. 12 The tension at point is 7210.8N;

[0115] Specifically, in step 12, the required δ wi =89.5N, which means that the resultant vertical force of the external force on this track section is less than the total mass of this track section;

[0116] Specifically, in step 13, the judgment value δ is given w1_critical =0.1,δ wi >δ w1_critical , so it is necessary to increase the α1 set in step 4. By repeating steps 9 to 12 multiple times, when |δ w0 |≤δ w0_criticalWhen the first track section reaches force equilibrium under these shape parameters, the iterative calculation results in an α1 value of 1.8 degrees. The same iterative calculation is repeated for α2 and α3 in steps 9 to 12, resulting in final α2 and α3 values ​​of 1.8 and 1.7 degrees, respectively.

[0117] Specifically, in step 14, the difference between the vertical force on the crawler track in the ground contact section and the load on the crawler system is calculated to be δ w =-1433.9N, indicating that the force exerted by the soft ground on the grounded crawler track is less than the load on the crawler travel system;

[0118] Specifically, in step 15, the judgment value δ is given w_critical =10,δ w <δ w_critical , it is necessary to increase the sinking amount z0 of the crawler driving system in step 2, and repeat steps 3 to 14 several times to obtain |δ w |<δ w_critical , it is considered that the track system has reached force balance. By calculating the traction force, motion resistance and hook traction force, the traction force is obtained as T = 1825.4N, the motion resistance is R = 130.8N, and the hook traction force is DB = 1694.6N.

[0119] Based on the results obtained, the traction performance of the tracked driving system under soft ground can be predicted more accurately, and the parameters of the tracked driving system traveling on different types of soft ground can be optimized; a more accurate dynamic model of the tracked vehicle under soft ground environment can be established, and a driving control method for the tracked vehicle under soft ground can be developed, thereby improving the driving performance and intelligence level of the tracked vehicle under soft ground environment.
