Off-Road Robot Segmented Frame for Transport and Terrain Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Off-road robots face inconvenience in carrying and transporting due to their large volume and complex driving environments, which complicates their adaptation to various terrains.
Innovation Solution
The off-road robot is designed with a detachable frame structure, including a front side portion, rear side portion, and middle portion, connected via first and second frames, and equipped with independent suspensions and shock absorbers, allowing for disassembly and assembly for easier transport and improved adaptability to complex terrains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the off-road robot employs a solution that wheels are far away from a vehicle body and are connected with a vehicle through shock absorbers and a plurality of suspension rods to adapt to complex driving environments, then the adaptability to complex terrains is improved, but the volume of the robot becomes relatively large, causing inconvenience in carrying
Solution Approach 1:
The robot body is divided into separable modules: a first module containing the front vehicle frame and front wheels, and a second module containing the rear vehicle frame and rear wheels. These modules can be detached and transported separately, reducing the effective volume during transport while maintaining the full suspension structure for terrain adaptability during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot employs a dynamic configuration where the distance between wheels and vehicle body can be adjusted. During operation, the suspension system maintains large wheel travel for terrain adaptation. During transport, the modules are detached to effectively reduce the occupied volume, creating a dynamic state change between operational and transport configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the off-road robot employs a solution that wheels are far away from a vehicle body and are connected with a vehicle through shock absorbers and a plurality of suspension rods, then the obstacle climbing ability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex suspension system is segmented into modular components that can be independently assembled and disassembled. The front and rear suspension systems are separated into different modules, allowing the complex mechanism to be managed as distinct units rather than a monolithic complex structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle frames are designed with universal connection interfaces that can accommodate different wheel assemblies and suspension configurations. The connection structures serve multiple functions: structural support, suspension mounting, and detachable coupling, reducing the need for separate specialized components.
