Tracked Chassis Attitude Adjustment for Uneven and Sloped Terrain
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tracked engineering mechanical equipment lacks a solution for enabling normal operation when the chassis traveling devices on two sides are not on the same working surface or on a working surface with a relatively large slope.
Innovation Solution
A crawler chassis apparatus with attitude adjusting apparatuses that allow independent adjustment of the attitude of crawler traveling mechanisms relative to the chassis mount, including position and angle adjustments, enabling them to maintain contact with the road surface even on uneven or sloped terrain.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the chassis traveling devices are positioned on the same flat working surface, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the device cannot normally run when the traveling devices are on different working surfaces or on a working surface with a relatively large slope
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing an attitude adjusting apparatus that enables the crawler traveling mechanisms to dynamically adjust their attitudes independently. This apparatus includes adjusting assemblies with cylinders and linkages that allow the crawlers to adapt to different working surfaces and slopes, transforming the static fixed-attitude structure into a dynamic adjustable one, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the attitude adjustment function into independent adjusting assemblies for each crawler traveling mechanism. Each adjusting assembly operates independently with its own cylinder and linkage system, allowing individual crawlers to adapt to different surfaces without affecting the other, thus achieving adaptability while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design
2Reliability
If the chassis traveling devices are positioned on the same flat working surface, then the device complexity is low, but the load-bearing capacity and operational safety deteriorate on uneven or sloped terrain
Solution Approach 1:
The attitude adjusting apparatus enables dynamic adaptation to uneven terrain and slopes, ensuring both crawler traveling mechanisms maintain proper contact with the road surface regardless of terrain conditions. This dynamic adjustment capability significantly improves operational safety and reliability on challenging terrains while adding only moderate structural complexity through the use of adjusting assemblies with cylinders and linkages

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a crawler chassis apparatus, a tracked vehicle, an adjusting method and system and a readable storage medium, and relates to the field of engineering machinery, for enabling the crawler chassis apparatus to normally travel when two crawler traveling apparatuses are located on different working surfaces or on a working surface with a relatively large slope. The crawler chassis apparatus comprises a chassis mount, at least two crawler traveling apparatuses, and at least one attitude adjusting apparatus. The chassis mount is fixedly connected with a chassis superstructure. The chassis mount is located between two crawler traveling apparatuses, and each of the crawler traveling apparatuses is configured to be able to travel. An attitude adjusting apparatus is disposed between the at least one crawler traveling apparatus and the chassis mount. The attitude adjusting apparatus is configured to adjust an attitude of the crawler traveling apparatus relative to the chassis mount. By the attitude adjusting apparatus, when the crawler chassis apparatus is on different working surfaces or on a working surface with a relatively large slope, both crawler traveling apparatuses can contact the road surface, thus improving the traveling capability of the crawler chassis apparatus under various road conditions.
