Endless Track Vehicles TRIZ Cases

A crawler vehicle suspension uses dynamic decoupling kinematics to maintain secure attachment while enabling omnidirectional movement.

Hole-based impact absorbers in endless track lateral edges enable elastic deformation to prevent elastomeric tearing during obstacle strikes.

Engine compartment spacers maintain transverse mass balance, allowing a single power pack configuration for different tunnel widths.

Thinner bending regions aligned with pitch lines reduce rolling resistance and fuel consumption while preserving structural integrity.

Segmented wheels reduce tooling costs and enable localized strengthening by assembling multiple identical parts.

A track bushing uses a composite inner sleeve to reduce friction and wear in endless track assemblies.

A movable collar adjusts the drive sprocket laterally to reconfigure track undercarriage assemblies for optimal working width.

A processor-controlled tensioning device adjusts track force based on suspension position, allowing greater travel while preventing slippage.

Segmented sub-frames pivot idler wheels laterally to maintain uniform track contact, reducing structural loading on the undercarriage.

Tapered bogie wheels distribute load evenly on crowned roads, reducing premature wear without adding complex roll-axis structures.

Elastic members between inner and outer crawler belts eliminate pin connections, preventing lubrication failure in vacuum environments.

Intermediary guard structure retards abrasive accumulation in carrier roller cavities, preventing seal displacement and extending equipment lifespan.

A viscoelastic damper positioned between the roller block and frame attenuates shocks and vibrations that cause bouncing during track-type machine operations.
