The invention discloses a special contour curved surface design method for a variable-
diameter wheel, and relates to the technical field of variable-
diameter wheels, and the method comprises the following steps: establishing a variable-
diameter wheel structure model, and setting the
radius of a hub and the length of a curved surface connecting rod; establishing a three-dimensional coordinate
system by taking the collinear position of the curved surface connecting rod and the hub as an initial position; in the three-dimensional coordinate
system, an
initial curve of the special contour curved surface is established; performing curved
surface equation derivation by using a geometrical relationship, and calculating an expression of any point on the special contour curved surface to obtain a curved surface three-dimensional
structure diagram; and repeating the previous step at each rotation angle to obtain a complete special contour curved surface maintaining the circular outer contour. According to the design method for the special contour curved surface for the variable-diameter wheel, the special contour curved surface is obtained through calculation of the geometrical relationship of the simplified structure, and the curved surface can ensure that the outer
contour line of the curved surface can keep the
contour line to be a complete circle at different positions; the movement stability of the variable-diameter wheel can be improved when the variable-diameter wheel moves and is folded and unfolded at the same time.
