Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a reconfigurable rubber crawler traveling system.
Background
The prior vehicles generally adopt tires or crawler traveling systems, wherein the former is suitable for high-speed maneuvering of the vehicles on paved roads, and the latter can ensure that the vehicles maintain good trafficability and traction performance on off-road terrain. However, the applicability and advantages of the tire and the crawler are functions that are difficult to achieve by the other.
In order to combine the advantages of the two, deformable traveling systems have appeared in recent years, which have a tire shape and a track wheel shape, and are classified into two types from their structural features: one is an elastic retractable rubber track type structure, as disclosed in the patent: (1) the wheel-track composite deformation rubber track robot has the application number of 201210089271. X; (2) a wheel-track composite deformable wheel, application No. 201611113617. X; (3) a wheel-track composite deformable chassis, application No. 201910365957.9; (4) a hydraulically driven deformable wheel-track composite type variant wheel, application number 202010381600.2; (5) a wheel-track type reconfigurable deformable wheel, application number 202010902369.7 and the like. When the traveling systems are reconstructed into two forms, the circumference of the rubber track cannot be guaranteed to be unchanged, namely the circumference of the rubber track required by the form of the track wheel is obviously longer than that of the tire. During design, the expansion range of the crawler belt is determined by accurately calculating the circumferences of the rubber crawler belts in the two forms. This type of walking system has the following drawbacks:
(a) the risk of belt release is large, and the rubber track stretching process is unreliable. The surface of the rubber track needs structures such as patterns and the like to improve the ground gripping capability, and the intervals of the bulges such as the patterns and the like can be changed in the stretching or deforming process of the elastic telescopic rubber track. When the running system runs on a bad terrain in the form of a crawler wheel, sand, gravel, mud and the like inevitably adhere to the rubber crawler and are embedded in the intervals of patterns and the like of the rubber crawler, which increases the resistance of the rubber crawler to shrinkage, even makes the rubber crawler not retractable and difficult to convert into the form of a tire. The running system runs in a mode of integrally rotating at a high speed in the tire shape, and the rubber crawler at the outermost side of the running system is easily thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, so that the crawler is loosened, and the risk of belt release is increased. Meanwhile, the sand, stone, mud and the like can be attached, stacked and embedded on the crawler and can also act with the centrifugal force at the same time, so that the elongation of the crawler is continuously increased, the loosening of the crawler is aggravated, and the belt-removing risk is further improved.
(b) The steering stability is poor and it is difficult to provide a high and reliable traction. The traction force provided by the rubber track walking system is based on the tensile force borne by the rubber track, and the length of the elastic telescopic rubber track is correspondingly increased when the elastic telescopic rubber track bears the load. When the traveling system travels, the variation of the bearing of the crawler belt can be caused by different ground conditions, the unevenness degree of the terrain, obstacles, the variation of the vehicle speed and the like, the length of the crawler belt can be unexpectedly changed, the matching of the crawler belt and other components of the traveling system is influenced, and the operation stability of the vehicle is reduced. The elastic telescopic rubber track has the advantages of complex structure, difficult process manufacturing, and lower elastic modulus and tensile strength than those of the conventional rubber track due to the requirement of having a telescopic function, and does not have practicability in occasions requiring larger traction force.
The other is an arc swing arm type structure, as disclosed in the patent: (1) a wheel-track deformation mechanism, a walking device and a vehicle, with the application number of 201811182452.0; (2) the patent name: an all-terrain adaptive wheel-track and application thereof, application number 201910034000.6; (3) a crawler wheel walking device capable of realizing wheel-track conversion, with application number of 201910324215.1; (4) a reconfigurable variant wheel capable of realizing wheel-track switching, application number 201922303041.9; (5) a novel wheel-track composite variable structure wheel, application number 202010382090.0; (6) a wheel-track two-mode deformed wheel, application number 202110380082.7. The walking system can keep the circumference of the rubber track consistent when the tire and the crawler wheel are in two forms, the loading wheel is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped swing arm, and the wheel system controls the swing and the like of the arc-shaped swing arm so as to realize the tire form and the crawler wheel form. This kind of traveling system can adopt conventional rubber track, has overcome the defect of the scalable rubber track structure of elasticity to a certain extent, nevertheless also has following defect:
(a) The load is concentrated, the grounding pressure is unevenly distributed, and the trafficability characteristic is poor. Because the loading wheels are uniformly arranged on the arc-shaped swing arm, the wheel centers cannot be positioned on the same straight line. When the crawler wheels are in the shape, one arc-shaped swing arm can only ensure that one or at most two loading wheels at different positions are rolled on the rubber crawler belt, and other loading wheels are difficult to contact the rubber crawler belt, so that the load is concentrated on the previous loading wheel, namely the grounding pressure below the loading wheel is higher, the average maximum pressure (MMP) value of a walking system is improved, the trafficability is reduced, and the service lives of related components such as the loading wheels are also reduced.
(b) The deformation driving elements are more, and the control is complex. The structure needs to use a plurality of driving elements to realize the form conversion, for example, patent 201821653217.2 needs four hydraulic cylinders or air cylinders, the scheme of patent 201920059085.9 needs at least three hydraulic cylinders, patent 201922303041.9 needs to adopt six driving oil cylinders, patent 201922303041.9 and 202010382090.0 need three hydraulic cylinders, and patent 202110380082.7 needs two oil cylinders and six air cylinders. The driving elements need to be controlled and cooperated to realize the form conversion of the walking system, so that the control complexity is increased, and the reliability of the system is reduced. The basic reason for adopting a plurality of driving elements is that the degree of freedom which needs to be controlled in the deformation process of the wheel train is large, and in order to realize the cooperative control of the degree of freedom, a plurality of driving elements which are controlled in a cooperative mode are needed, so that the cost is increased, and the control difficulty is increased.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the creation of the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art through specific situations.
As shown in fig. 1-4, a reconfigurable rubber crawler traveling system, which is used for matching with wheeled vehicles or replacing tires thereof, mainly comprises a rubber crawler 1, a wheel system 2 and a control system, wherein the rubber crawler 1 surrounds the outer peripheral side of the wheel system 2 and is in contact with the ground. Under the action of the output force or displacement provided by the control system, the outer periphery of the wheel train 2 can be continuously and smoothly changed, so that the walking system is in a tire shape or a nearly triangular crawler wheel shape. As shown in figure 1, the running system is circular when in a tire shape, the wheel system 2 limits the rubber track 1 to ensure that the rubber track and the rubber track do not move relatively, and the running system realizes vehicle maneuvering in an integral rotating mode; when the crawler wheel is in a shape of the crawler wheel, the wheel system 2 drives the rubber crawler 1 to enable the rubber crawler to rotate around the wheel system, the ground contact area of the walking system can be adjusted at the moment, the process that the ground contact area is gradually increased is shown in fig. 2 to 4, and vice versa, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a limiting state of the shape of the crawler wheel, and the ground contact area is the largest at the moment. The conversion between the two forms and the adjustment of the contact patch in the track wheel form are collectively referred to as form reconstruction. In the form reconstruction process, the rubber track 1 is stable in tensioning degree and stable in perimeter. The circumference of the crawler is stable, namely the difference value between the maximum value and the minimum value of the circumference of the crawler in the form reconstruction process is not more than 2% of the average value, and the typical circumference of the crawler can be within 1 per thousand.
When the tire is in a shape, the whole walking system rotates, so that internal friction power consumption, rubber track bending power consumption and the like can be avoided, the tire is suitable for paving a road surface or other hard road surfaces, and the tire can realize the same running speed and the basically same oil consumption as the tire. When the crawler wheel is in a form, the ground contact area of the walking system can be adjusted according to the terrain condition, so that the optimal matching of trafficability, maneuvering speed, traction performance and the like of the vehicle can be obtained under the soft or low-adhesion-coefficient terrain condition. In addition, under the form of the crawler wheel, the walking system is provided with an approaching angle and a departing angle so as to be beneficial to obstacle crossing.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the rubber crawler 1 includes a rubber crawler body 010, a driving tooth 011, a raceway surface 012, and a pattern 013. The driving teeth 011 are uniformly distributed on the inner side of the rubber track body 010, the flat part on the inner side where the driving teeth 011 are not distributed is a raceway surface 012, and the pattern 013 is in contact with the ground.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the wheel train 2 is mainly composed of a support frame assembly 3, a rubber crawler positioning device 33, a central shaft assembly 4, a cooperating mechanism assembly 5, a driving wheel assembly 6, a driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7, a driving wheel power transmission device 8, a loading wheel chain assembly 9, and a clutch assembly 10. The control system comprises a form control device 11 and a positioning anti-overturning system 12.
Specifically, the support frame assembly 3 extends through the entire wheel train 2 to provide a foundation support for other components of the wheel train 2. As shown in fig. 9, the main body of the support frame assembly 3 is a support frame assembly, which can be divided into an inner support frame assembly 30 and an outer support frame assembly 31, and the inner support frame assembly 30 and the outer support frame assembly 31 are fixedly connected together by a support frame connecting member 32.
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, the rubber crawler positioning device 33 is used for restricting the rubber crawler 1 so that the rubber crawler 1 cannot rotate around the wheel train 2 when the running system is in the tire form.
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, the rubber track positioning device 33 is fixedly connected to the inner and outer support frame assemblies, specifically, the rubber track positioning device 33 is composed of two track positioning plates 331, a plurality of rubber round pads 332 (the rubber round pads may be replaced by flat washers, or a rubber sleeve or a combination of several components), and a plurality of positioning shafts 333, or a positioning shaft may be used for positioning. Two track locating plates 331 are respectively fixedly connected on the connecting seat 34 of the bottom of the assembly body of the support frames at two sides, the locating shaft 333 is fixedly connected between the track locating plates 331 at two sides, and the rubber round pad 332 is sleeved on the locating shaft. At least one positioning shaft is arranged at the bottom of the track positioning plate 331, and the distance between the positioning shafts can be matched with one pitch or a plurality of pitches of the rubber track, so that the positioning shaft 333 can enter the groove between the driving teeth 011 of the rubber track for positioning.
Specifically, the support frame assembly 3 is provided with two sets of rubber crawler positioning devices 33, which are symmetrically arranged at positions away from the driving wheel assembly 6. When the walking system is in a tire shape, the two positioning shafts of the rubber track positioning device 33 provided with the rubber round pads enter the grooves between the driving teeth of the rubber track to clamp the driving teeth, so that the rubber track 1 cannot rotate around the outer periphery of the wheel train 2. The track positioning plate is of a bent thin plate-shaped structure, so that the track positioning plate can longitudinally deform under the action of external force while keeping high transverse rigidity, the high transverse rigidity ensures that the rubber track is not easy to slide when the rubber track is positioned, and the track positioning plate can longitudinally deform when the track rolls the ground, so that the impact on the ground is buffered. As shown in fig. 9, the direction indicated by the arrow X is a longitudinal direction and is parallel to the thickness direction of the crawler at the rubber crawler positioning device, and the direction indicated by the arrow Y is a transverse direction and is parallel to the tangential direction of the crawler circulating wheel train at that position.
As shown in fig. 9 and 13, the inner support frame assembly 30 and the outer support frame assembly 31 each have a center shaft mounting sleeve 35 on the inner side thereof, and the center shaft mounting sleeves 35 are coaxial with each other. A plurality of stop bosses 36 are provided on the inner side of the inner support frame assembly 30 and the outer support frame assembly 31, respectively, and are evenly distributed about the axis a.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the main body of the center shaft assembly 4 is a center shaft 40, and further includes a positioning sleeve 41, a seal ring 42, and the like. The central shaft 40 is hinged to the support frame assemblies on the two sides through bearings and can rotate around a fixed axis A on the support frame assembly. The positioning sleeve 41 and the sealing ring 42 are installed on the central shaft 40 and used for axial positioning of parts on the shaft, bearing sealing and the like. The end of the central shaft 40 having the flange 43 is fixedly connected to a vehicle power take-off, such as a half shaft or drive shaft, to transmit vehicle power to the traveling system.
As shown in fig. 14, the cooperating mechanism assembly 5 is mounted on the support frame assembly 3, on which the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 and a plurality of weight-bearing wheel chain assemblies 9 are mounted, and is connected to the clutch assembly 10, and these components move relatively under the cooperation of the cooperating mechanism assembly 5. By optimizing the size, the installation position and the like of each component, the components of the walking system can always keep the tension degree of the rubber track 1 surrounding the outer periphery of the wheel system 2 unchanged and the circumference is stable while the components move cooperatively.
As shown in fig. 14, the cooperating mechanism assembly 5 is mainly composed of two cooperating mechanisms 51 and a synchronizing member 52 on both sides of the gear train 2. The cooperative mechanisms 51 on the two sides are respectively installed on the support frame assembly body on the corresponding side of the support frame assembly 3, and the synchronization component 52 connects the two cooperative mechanisms 51 to realize the synchronous motion of the two cooperative mechanisms 51.
As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the cooperative mechanism 51 is mainly composed of a turntable 510, a turntable link 511, a lateral link 513, an anti-roll mechanism 515, and a plurality of suspension links including a synchronization suspension link 514, a bottom suspension link 516, and a top suspension link 517, and the like.

The rotary table is hinged with the support frame assembly, the rotation axis of the rotary table is coincident with the axis A, the rotary table pull rod is hinged with the rotary table through a rotary table pull rod connecting shaft 512, the transverse pull rod is hinged with the rotary table pull rod and is simultaneously hinged and installed on the anti-overturning mechanism, and the anti-overturning mechanism is installed on the support frame assembly. Through the installation relation, the support frame assembly, the rotary disc pull rod, the transverse pull rod and the anti-overturning mechanism form a Saurus connecting rod (Sarrus linking) mechanism, so that the rotation of the rotary disc around the axis A is converted into the translation of the transverse pull rod along the direction vertical to the axis A. Three turntable pull rods are arranged on the turntable of the cooperative mechanism, and a transverse pull rod and an anti-overturning mechanism are also sequentially arranged on each turntable pull rod, so that the three transverse pull rods are synchronously controlled to move horizontally by the rotation of the turntable. And all components of the cooperative mechanism are installed on the assembly bodies of the support frames on the two sides in the same way and are opposite in position. As shown in fig. 15 and 17, for convenience, the translational directions of the transverse tie rods in the cooperating mechanisms mounted on the outer support frame assembly are respectively identified as B, C and D, and the translational directions of the transverse tie rods in the cooperating mechanisms mounted on the inner support frame assembly are respectively identified as B ', C ', D '; B. c, D are all perpendicular to the axis A, the included angle of the three axes is 120 degrees; the same applies to B ', C ', D '. Due to the opposite position of the two cooperating means, the aforesaid axes B, C, D are parallel to the axes C ', B ', D ', respectively.

Bottom suspension pull rod 516, top suspension pull rod 517 all articulate with outside support frame assembly body 31, and the axis of articulation all is parallel with axle A, and wherein two top suspension pull rods 517 are close to drive wheel assembly body 6, and in the bilateral symmetry installation of axis F, four bottom suspension pull rods 516 are two pairs, are close to two rubber track positioner 33 respectively, and two bottom suspension pull rods 516 in every pair are respectively in axis B (or C) bilateral symmetry installation. The anti-roll mechanism 515 is used to further limit the freedom of movement of the transverse tie-rod 513, and as shown in fig. 19, the anti-roll mechanism 515 is mainly composed of a positioning base 5150, a base link 5151 and a flat trailing link 5152. The positioning base 5150 is fixedly connected to the outer support frame assembly 31; the base connecting rod 5151 is hinged with the positioning base 5150; one end of the horizontal dragging link 5152 is hinged with the base link 5151, and the other end is hinged with the transverse pull rod 513, and the axes of the hinges are perpendicular to the axis A. Through the mounting relationship of the turntable 510, the turntable pull rod 511, the transverse pull rod 513 and the anti-overturning mechanism 515, the transverse pull rod 513 can only translate along the axis B (or C or D).
The synchronizing assembly 52 fixedly connects the opposite transverse tie rods 513 in the two cooperating mechanisms 51 to ensure that the two cooperating mechanisms 51 move synchronously, and as shown in fig. 15, the synchronizing assembly 52 is composed of a synchronizing shaft 520 and a synchronizing shaft positioning sleeve 521. The synchronizing shaft 520 is fixedly connected with the transverse pull rod 513, the synchronizing shaft positioning sleeve 521 is sleeved on the synchronizing shaft 520 with two opposite sides, and as shown in fig. 67 to 69, the transverse pull rods on two sides are fixedly connected together under the action that the support frame connecting piece is fixedly connected with the support frame assembly bodies on two sides. Further, due to the synchronous movement of the transverse pull rods opposite to the two sides, the other components of the two cooperative mechanisms can also move synchronously, for example, the turntables on the two sides can rotate synchronously.
As the turntable 510 rotates, the turntable lever 511 pulls the cross-links 513, and the three cross-links 513 can only translate along the axes B, C, D (or B ', C ', D '), respectively, toward or away from the axis a, under the combined action of the anti-roll mechanisms 515. One end of the turntable pull rod connecting shaft 512 is provided with a limiting protrusion 5120, as shown in fig. 20, after installation, the limiting protrusion 5120 is located between two adjacent limiting bosses 36, as shown in fig. 21, during the rotation process of the turntable 510, the movement range of the limiting protrusion 5120 is limited by the two adjacent limiting bosses 36, so that the rotation range of the turntable 510 is limited.

The two engaged synchronous suspension rods 514 can rotate synchronously, the rotation range is limited by the range of the gear teeth, and a positioning pin 518 is fixedly connected to the synchronous suspension rods 514, and the positioning pin 518 is limited by the structure of the transverse pull rod 513 when moving along with the synchronous suspension rods 514, and the relative rotation range of the two synchronous suspension rods 514 can also be limited.
As shown in fig. 24, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 is connected to two cooperating mechanisms 51, on which the driving wheel assemblies 6 are mounted, and under the coordination of the cooperating mechanism assembly 5, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 makes the driving wheel assemblies 6 translate along the fixed axis F of the support frame assembly 3. The axis F is perpendicular to the axis A and has the same included angle with the translation axes of two adjacent transverse pull rods. Typically, axis F is at an angle of 60 ° to axis B or C (axes B 'or C'), is coplanar with axis D, D ', and is equidistant from axes D and D', as shown in FIGS. 15, 16, and 17.

Each swing arm 72 is hinged at one end to the inner or outer turntable 510 and at the other end to the drive wheel mounting shaft 71 via a bearing. The drive wheel assembly 6 is mounted on the drive wheel mounting shaft 71 by a bearing. The two side turntables 510 rotate synchronously, and when the swing arms 72 hinged to the two side turntables 510 rotate therewith, the driving wheel mounting shaft 71 and the driving wheel assembly 6 are made to translate along the axis F so as to approach or depart from the axis a. Specifically, two turntables are coaxially hinged on the support frame assembly, two swing arms are coaxially hinged on the driving wheel mounting shaft, the two turntables and the two swing arms form a four-bar mechanism, because the mounting sizes of the turntables on the two sides and the corresponding swing arms are the same, the lengths of the swing arms are the same, the two cooperative mechanisms are connected by a synchronizing assembly, the turntables on the two sides can only synchronously rotate by the same angle, and the driving wheel mounting shaft can only be enabled to move horizontally along the axis F. The position of the drive wheel assembly 6 in the tire form and track wheel form limit states of the running system is shown in fig. 25 and 26.
As shown in fig. 27, 28 and 29, as a specific example, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism is connected with the single-side cooperative mechanism to achieve the function, and the specific composition thereof includes a driving wheel mounting shaft and a swing arm, and the mounting relationship is the same as that described above, except that a limit plate 73 is added on the support frame assembly to ensure the driving wheel mounting shaft to translate along the direction F, as shown in fig. 28.

After the driving wheel mounting shaft is mounted, one side of the guide block is arranged in the guide groove and forms a sliding pair with the guide block. When the rotary table rotates, the guide block can only move in the guide groove, so that the driving wheel mounting shaft hinged on the swing arm can only translate along the direction F.
When the turntable 510 rotates clockwise (as defined above) to the limit, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 pulls back the driving wheel assembly 6, and at this time, the driving wheel assembly 6 is closest to the axis a and is far away from the rubber track 1, so as to provide a condition for the overall rotation of the traveling system in the tire shape, that is, to avoid that when the traveling system is impacted by the ground, the rigid driving wheel assembly 6 rolls and impacts the rubber track 1, so that the rubber track 1 is damaged.
After the rotating disc 510 rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle from the above-mentioned limit position, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 pushes out the driving wheel assembly 6 to make it away from the axis a and contact the rubber crawler 1, providing a condition for the driving wheel assembly 6 to drive the rubber crawler 1 to rotate around the wheel train 2.
To achieve articulation of the turntable with the turntable lever and the swing arm, the turntable 510 has two swivel arms, one being a first swivel arm 5101 connected to the turntable lever and the other being a second swivel arm 5102 connected to the drive wheel adjustment mechanism for mounting the swing arm 72, etc., as shown in fig. 57 and 58.

The chain wheel mounting shaft is screwed on the rotary table by adopting the circular nut and the stop washer matched with the circular nut, so that the first rolling bearing inner ring, the chain wheel mounting shaft and the rotary table are fixedly connected together.
As shown in fig. 33 to 36, the drive wheel assembly 6 is mainly composed of a spline shaft 61, a drive wheel 62, a drive wheel cover 63, and the like.

The loading wheel chain assembly 9 is formed by sequentially connecting and connecting a plurality of components for mounting loading wheels in a hinged mode, the loading wheels on the loading wheel chain assembly are uniformly distributed, the rubber track 1 can be supported or rolled, and a guiding effect is realized on the rotation of the rubber track 1 around the outer periphery of the wheel system 2. The structure of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly is shown in fig. 39-41, and a single load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is composed of a female-end load-bearing wheel suspension assembly 90, two middle load-bearing wheel suspension assemblies 91, and a male-end load-bearing wheel suspension assembly 92 which are sequentially hinged in series. The female-end loading wheel suspension assembly 90 and the male-end loading wheel suspension assembly 92 are respectively located at two ends of the loading wheel chain assembly 9, and the hinged axis positions of the two middle loading wheel chain assemblies 9 are the middle parts of the loading wheel chain assemblies 9.
Each bogie wheel suspension is fixedly connected with a bogie wheel mounting shaft 95, and the bogie wheels are mounted at two ends of the bogie wheel mounting shaft 95 in pairs through bearings. As shown in fig. 42 and 43, the female-end bogie wheel suspension assembly 90 is composed of a female-end bogie wheel suspension 901, a bogie wheel 902, and a bogie wheel mounting shaft 95. As shown in fig. 44, the center bogie suspension assembly 91 is composed of a center bogie suspension 910, a bogie 902, and a bogie mounting shaft 95. As shown in fig. 45 and 46, the male bogie suspension assembly 92 is composed of a male bogie suspension 920, a bogie wheel 902, and a bogie wheel mounting shaft 95.
In addition, the bogie wheel can be replaced by the sector blocks 93, as shown in fig. 43 and 46, specifically, the sector blocks are directly installed at two ends of a bogie wheel installation shaft 95 in pairs, the two sector blocks are fixedly connected through a sector block connecting plate 94 penetrating through a cavity structure 96 of a male end bogie wheel suspension 920 or a female end bogie wheel suspension 901, and the cavity structure 96 limits the swinging of the sector block connecting plate 94, so that the arc-shaped outer peripheral sides of the sector blocks face towards the fixed direction.
As shown in fig. 41, the load-bearing chain assembly is attached to a pair of synchronous suspension links of the cooperative mechanism and a bottom suspension link or a top suspension link on both sides of the pair of synchronous suspension links. Specifically, two middle bogie wheel suspensions 910 are respectively hinged with two corresponding synchronous suspension pull rods 514, a female bogie wheel suspension 901 and a male bogie wheel suspension 920 are hinged with a corresponding top suspension pull rod 517 or bottom suspension pull rod 516, and the hinge axes are parallel to the axis a. After the installation, because two synchronous suspension pull rods are meshed with each other and rotate synchronously, the middle part of the loading wheel chain assembly is always positioned on the translation axis of the transverse pull rod.
As shown in fig. 8 and 41, three weight-bearing chain assemblies 9 are mounted on each of the two cooperating mechanisms 51 at opposite positions. As the turntable 510 rotates, the synchronized suspension links 514 engaged in pairs rotate synchronously and at the same rotational angle under the translational thrust of the transverse link 513, and the two intermediate bogie wheel suspensions 910 connected thereto also move synchronously, so that the intermediate portions of each bogie wheel suspension assembly translate along the translation axes B, C, D or B ', C ', D ' of the respective transverse links. The motion of the two side load bearing chain assemblies 9 is synchronized due to the synchronizing assembly 52. In the process of coordinating the motion of each load-bearing wheel chain by the cooperative mechanism assembly, the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 has two limit states, namely bending into an arc shape and completely straightening: when the load wheel chain assembly is bent into an arc shape, the wheel centers of all load wheels (or fan-shaped blocks) on the load wheel chain assembly are positioned on the same arc; when the assembly is completely straightened, the wheel centers of all the loading wheels (or the fan-shaped blocks) on the loading wheel chain assembly are positioned on the same straight line. The weight-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is in a generally bent state in a non-limit state.
Specifically, when the turntable 510 rotates clockwise (defined as above) to the limit, each loading wheel chain assembly 9 is bent to an arc shape, and the center of the arc shape coincides with the axis a, so that the outer periphery of the wheel train 2 is a complete circle, which provides a basic condition for reconstructing a walking system into a tire shape, as shown in fig. 22; when the turntable 510 rotates counterclockwise to the limit, each of the weight-bearing wheel chain assemblies 9 is completely straightened, which provides a basic condition for the reconfiguration of the traveling system to the limit state of the track wheel configuration, as shown in fig. 23.
Between the extreme positions of the turntable 510, when the turntable 510 is rotated clockwise (as defined above), the cross braces 513 are spaced from the axis a, the middle portion of each weight wheel chain assembly 9 is spaced from the axis a along the axes B, C, D, B ', C ', D ', respectively, and the male and female weight wheel suspension assemblies 92, 90 at each end of each weight wheel chain assembly 9 are progressively closer to the axis a. The process is vice versa. This provides the basic condition for the running system reconfiguration for the track wheel form that the area of contact is different.
In the above process, when the loading wheel chain assembly is bent into an arc shape, the two ends are closest to the axis a, when the loading wheel chain assembly is gradually straightened, the two ends are gradually far away from the axis a, and when the loading wheel chain assembly is completely straightened, the two ends are farthest from the axis a. The rubber track positioning device utilizes the above distance variation to achieve the effect of jamming the rubber track to restrict its rotation about the wheel train when the running system is in the tire configuration, as shown in fig. 10 and 22, and disengaging the rubber track to not restrict its movement when the running system is in the track wheel configuration, as shown in fig. 11 and 23.
In addition, in the track wheel configuration, since the drive wheel assembly 6 is brought into contact with the rubber crawler 1 at a position away from the axis a and is engaged with the rubber crawler 1, and the rubber crawler 1 is not brought into contact with the segment at the position, the male-end bogie wheel suspension assembly 92 or the female-end bogie wheel suspension assembly 90 mounted on the top suspension link 517 is replaced with a segment. The sector is located at the end of the weight-bearing chain assembly 9, and is mounted in such a manner that the arc-shaped outer circumferential side of the sector faces the rubber crawler belt at all times after mounting. The sector blocks are more simplified and economical than a bogie wheel, and are convenient for adjusting the dynamic balance of a walking system in the tire form.
After the loading wheel chain assembly body 9 and the cooperative mechanism assembly 5 are installed, a single-degree-of-freedom controllable motion device is formed together with the support frame assembly 3. When the turntable 510 on any side rotates, the cooperative motion of all the loading wheel chain assemblies 9 and the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 can be realized, so that the tension degree of the rubber track 1 is always kept unchanged and the perimeter of the walking system is stable in the form reconstruction process. Further, the side surface of the bogie wheel can be brought into contact with the end surface of the driving tooth 11 of the rubber crawler 1 to guide the rubber crawler 1 to avoid the belt release.
The clutch assembly 10 is connected to the support frame assembly 3 and the central shaft assembly 4, and can realize the separation or engagement of the central shaft assembly 4 and the support frame assembly 3 under the action of the cooperative mechanism assembly 5. The clutch assembly mainly comprises a clutch disc 101, a turnkey 102 and the like. The clutch plate 101 is fixedly connected to the central shaft assembly 4. The rotary key is hinged with the support frame assembly and is connected with the support frame assembly through an elastic element, the elastic element presses the rotary key on a fixed position of the support frame assembly to enable the rotary key to be incapable of freely rotating relative to the support frame assembly, and the rotary key is in an initial state at the moment. The dial 510 has a control pin 104 attached thereto. When the rotary disc 510 rotates, the control pin 104 on the rotary disc drives the rotary key to rotate, so that the rotary key is contacted with or separated from the clutch disc, and the central shaft assembly 4 is connected with or separated from the support frame assembly 3.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 47, the support frame assembly 3 further includes a rotating key mounting bracket 103, and the rotating key mounting bracket 103 is fixed on the support frame connecting member 32. A plurality of semicircular grooves 1010 are uniformly distributed on the outer circumference of the clutch plate 101. As shown in fig. 48, the main structure of the said rotary key is a cylindrical solid 1023 with a rotary key groove structure 1020, one end of the rotary key has an internal groove 1022, the internal groove structure can take various forms, as shown in fig. 48, the internal groove structure can be a single-sided internal groove 1022, as shown in fig. 49, a bilaterally symmetrical through groove 1024, as shown in fig. 50, a bilaterally asymmetrical through groove 1024, as shown in fig. 51, a projection 1025 with only a single-sided structure, as shown in fig. 52, or a chamfer 1026 on one side to facilitate the control of the pin entry. In short, the internal groove structure can take various forms as long as the control of the pin entering and the key turning can be conveniently carried out. The radius of the cylindrical solid 1023 is slightly smaller than the radius of the semicircular groove of the clutch disc, the radius of the cambered surface 1021 of the turnkey groove structure is slightly larger than the radius of the clutch disc, and the width of the internal groove 1022 is slightly larger than the diameter of the control pin 104. As shown in fig. 54, the said mounting rack is provided with a mounting sleeve 1031 and an inner groove 1032 of the mounting rack, which passes through the mounting sleeve and has a radius slightly larger than that of the clutch plate.
As shown in fig. 48-56, the cylindrical body 1023 of the turnkey is hinged with the turnkey mounting sleeve 1031 through a sliding bearing, the clutch plate 101 is connected with the central shaft 40 in a key way, and the axial displacement of the clutch plate along the central shaft is limited through the positioning sleeve 41 on the central shaft, so that the clutch plate is fixedly connected with the central shaft. The edge portion of the clutch plate 101 having the semi-circular recess 1010 passes through the key mount inner recess. The turnkey mounting bracket is fixedly connected with a turnkey positioning pin 105, the turnkey is fixedly connected with a limit pin 106, a torsion spring 107 is sleeved on the turnkey, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected with the limit pin 106, the other end of the torsion spring leans against the turnkey positioning pin 105, the limit pin can be pressed on the turnkey positioning pin, and therefore the position of the turnkey relative to the turnkey mounting bracket is fixed, the axis of the cambered surface 1021 coincides with the axis A, the turnkey groove structure faces the clutch disc, the rotation of the clutch disc is not interfered, and the central shaft assembly body and the support frame assembly are in a separation state at the moment, as shown in figure 60.
The process of dialing the jog key by the jog dial 510 is shown in fig. 61 to 64. When the rotary plate 510 rotates to a certain angle, the control pin 104 thereon will be inserted into the inner groove 1022 of the rotary key, so as to shift the rotary key, and the corresponding entity of the rotary key groove structure 1020 enters the semicircular groove of the clutch disc, thereby limiting the rotation of the clutch disc relative to the rotary key mounting frame, and further realizing the joint of the central shaft assembly and the support frame assembly, as shown in fig. 59. When the rotary plate 510 rotates in the opposite direction and the control pin 104 thereon is disengaged from the inner groove 1022 of the rotary key, the entity corresponding to the groove structure 1020 of the rotary key is disengaged from the semicircular groove 1010 of the clutch plate, and under the action of the torsion spring 107, the limit pin 106 on the rotary key is pressed on the positioning pin 105 of the rotary key again, so as to ensure that the entity corresponding to the groove structure 1020 of the rotary key is disengaged from the semicircular groove 1010 of the clutch plate, and at this time, the central shaft assembly and the support frame assembly are in a separated state, as shown in fig. 60. In the above process, the entity corresponding to the groove structure of the rotary key can rapidly enter or leave the semicircular groove on the outer circumference of the clutch disc only by rotating the rotary disc 510 by a small angle, thereby realizing agile engagement and disengagement.
The clutch assembly 10 is of a double-turning-key structure, so that when the central shaft assembly 4 and the support frame assembly 3 are connected, the central shaft assembly changes the rotation direction, namely, when the traveling system changes the traveling direction, no idle return exists, and the connection is reliable. Specifically, by using the above mode, two turnkeys are mounted on the turnkey mounting frame, the mounting positions of the two turnkeys are symmetrical, and the mounting directions are opposite. The two rotary keys are respectively matched with the rotary discs of the two cooperating mechanisms. When the turntables on the two sides rotate synchronously, the two turnkeys rotate synchronously, but the directions are opposite, so that the joint between the central shaft assembly 4 and the support frame assembly 3 is reliable. When the walking system is in a crawler wheel shape and the two control pins are separated from the inner grooves of the corresponding rotary keys, the two torsion springs 107 can enable the two limiting pins to be respectively pressed on the corresponding rotary key positioning pins, the positions of the two rotary keys are fixed relative to the rotary key mounting frame, the axes of the two cambered surfaces 1021 are coincident with the axis A and coaxial with the clutch disc 101, the clutch disc 101 is driven by the central shaft 40 to rotate relative to the rotary key mounting frame, and the central shaft assembly and the support frame assembly are in a separation state. In the process of switching the running system to the tire form, as the two turntables 510 rotate clockwise (defined as above), the two control pins 104 are synchronously inserted into the inner grooves 1022 of the corresponding turnkeys 102 and turn the turnkeys 102, the two turnkeys 102 rotate synchronously, and the entities corresponding to the corresponding turnkey groove structures 1020 rotate into the semicircular grooves 1010 of the clutch disc 101, so that the clutch disc 101 is engaged with the turnkey mounting frame 103, the central shaft assembly 4 is engaged with the support frame assembly 3, and the whole running system rotates. The positions of the various components of the clutch assembly in the different configurations are shown in FIGS. 61-64. Under the coordination action of the cooperative mechanism assembly 5, along with the rotation of the turntable 510, the clutch assembly 10 can realize the engagement and disengagement of the central shaft assembly 4 and the support frame assembly 3, when the central shaft assembly 4 and the support frame assembly 3 are disengaged, the central shaft assembly 4 can rotate relative to the support frame assembly 3, the drive wheel assembly 6 is driven to rotate through the drive wheel power transmission device 8, and a power condition is provided for the drive wheel assembly 6 to drive the rubber track 1 when the traveling system is in a track wheel shape; when the two are engaged, the driving wheel power transmission device 8 will not transmit power to the driving wheel assembly 6 any more because the central shaft assembly 4 has no relative movement with respect to the support frame assembly 3.
The mutual connection of the components of the walking system enables the shape of the walking system to be reconstructed into a controllable single-degree-of-freedom motion process.
The control system of the walking system comprises a form control device and a positioning anti-overturning system. The form control device 11 is a force-controllable or displacement output device, and controls the form of the wheel train 2 by controlling the movement of the cooperative mechanism assembly 5, the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9, the drive wheel adjusting mechanism 7, and the like. Because the form reconstruction is a controllable single-degree-of-freedom motion process, the form reconstruction device can be arranged between any relatively-moving components of the wheel train, namely between any two of the support frame assembly 3, the cooperating mechanism assembly 5, the multiple loading wheel chain assemblies 9 and the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7, between relatively-moving components in the cooperating mechanism assembly 5 or between relatively-moving components in the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7.
As shown in fig. 65 and 66, as one embodiment of the present invention, the form control device is composed of a controllable hydraulic power unit, two hydraulic cylinders 110, a hydraulic rotary joint 111, a pipeline 112, a hydraulic valve, and the like. The central shaft 40 has a through oil passage 44 in the middle, the center line of the oil passage 44 coincides with the axis a, and the oil passage receives the pressure oil output from the hydraulic power unit, and the pressure oil is divided into 2 paths via a hydraulic rotary joint 111 mounted on the end of the central shaft 40, and then transmitted to the hydraulic cylinder 110 through a pipeline 112 and the like, thereby controlling the output force of the hydraulic cylinder 110 or the piston extension. The cylinder and piston rod of each cylinder 110 are respectively hinged to a synchronizing shaft 520 on the transverse tie 513 on either side of the bottom suspension tie 516, as shown in fig. 67-69, with an auxiliary mounting sleeve 522 for axially locating the cylinder or piston rod of the cylinder on the synchronizing shaft. The two hydraulic cylinders are arranged oppositely and are staggered in space, so that the dynamic balance of the walking system in the tire shape can be maintained; the change of the extension amount of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 is realized by controlling the oil pressure or the flow of pressure oil output by the hydraulic power unit, so that the transverse pull rod 513 is far away from or close to the central shaft assembly 4 along the axes B (B '), C (C '), D (D '), to drive the rotary table 510 and other components of the cooperative mechanism assembly 5 to be coordinated and linked, and under the coordination action of the cooperative mechanism assembly 5, the states or positions of the load bearing wheel chain assembly 9, the driving wheel assembly 6, the rubber track 1 and the like are changed, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the form of the walking system.
During the configuration reconfiguration control, the maximum and minimum extension of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 is determined by the rotation range of the turntable 510. When the form control device 11 increases the output pressure or flow of the pressure oil, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 extends, and the turntable 510 rotates clockwise (as defined above), and when the turntable 510 rotates to the limit, the transverse tie bar 513 is farthest from the axis a, the extension amount of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 is also maximized, and at this time, the traveling system is in the tire form. When the form control device 11 reduces the output pressure of the pressure oil or reduces the output quantity of the pressure oil, the piston rod gradually retracts, the rotating disc 510 rotates counterclockwise until the limiting protrusion 5120 is attached to another adjacent limiting boss 36, at this time, the rotating disc 510 stops rotating, the transverse pull rod 513 is closest to the axis a, the extending amount of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 reaches the minimum, and at this time, the traveling system is in the limit state of the track wheel form.
The vehicle transmits power to a central shaft assembly 4 of the traveling system, and the traveling system drives the vehicle to advance. During the vehicle running process, the configuration of the traveling system can be reconfigured by controlling the pressure of the pressure oil output by the configuration control device 11 or the piston rod extension of the flow adjusting hydraulic cylinder 110.
When the traveling system is in a tire shape, under the coordination action of the coordination mechanism assembly 5, the shape control device 11 maximizes the extension amount of the piston rod, the turntable 510 is at the limit position of clockwise rotation (defined above), the drive wheel assembly 6 is pulled back by the drive wheel adjustment mechanism 7, and is closest to the center shaft assembly 4, the clutch assembly 10 joins the center shaft assembly 4 to the support frame assembly 3, the center shaft 40 is stationary relative to the support frame assembly 3, the drive wheel assembly 6 does not rotate, the load wheel chain assembly 9 is bent into an arc, the rubber crawler 1 is integrated with the support frame assembly 3 under the guiding and positioning action of the load wheel chain assembly 9 and the rubber crawler positioning device 33, and the traveling system rotates integrally.
The form control device 11 reduces the output pressure or flow of the pressurized oil or retracts the piston rod, and the turntable rotates counterclockwise. After rotating a certain angle, the clutch assembly 10 separates the central shaft assembly 4 from the support frame assembly 3, the driving wheel assembly 6 is pushed out by the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 to contact the rubber track 1, the two ends of the load bearing wheel chain assembly 9 are far away from the rotation axis a of the central shaft assembly 4, the rubber track 1 is pushed out of the rubber track positioning device 33, when the central shaft 40 rotates, the driving wheel power transmission device 8 transmits power to the driving wheel assembly 6, the driving wheel assembly 6 is meshed with the rubber track 1 to drive the rubber track to rotate around the wheel train 2, and therefore the traveling system enters the track wheel form. The form controller 11 continues to reduce the pressure output or further retract the piston rod, the turntable 510 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the weight wheel chain assembly 9 continues to straighten, and the ground contact area of the traveling system gradually increases. When the form control device 11 outputs no pressure or the pressure is sufficiently small, the piston rod will retract under the action of the self weight of the vehicle and the load, etc., until the turntable 510 rotates counterclockwise to the limit position, at which time the load wheel chain assembly 9 is completely straightened, and the ground contact area of the traveling system is the largest.
The form control device 11 may also be an electric device, and mainly includes an electric control unit, an electric cylinder, a conductive slip ring, an electric control circuit, and the like. The electric rod and the conductive slip ring are installed similarly to the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic rotary joint respectively, and the electric control circuit penetrates through the central shaft through hole to be connected with the conductive slip ring and then further provides power and control signals for the electric cylinder. The form reconstruction of the walking system can be realized by controlling the output force or displacement of the electric cylinder.
As another embodiment of the form control device according to the present invention, the form control device can realize form control of the traveling system with a small control force. In the process of reconstructing the track wheel form into the tire form, if the lifting force is applied to the central shaft mounting body 4 through the middle position of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9, the lifting force is basically stable and unchanged due to the unchanged vehicle weight, and the lifting force can be expressed as the total lifting force. Because the form reconstruction device can be installed between any components which relatively move in the wheel train, the effect of the output force can be equivalent to the effect of the lifting force, and the relationships such as the magnitude and the like are equivalent to the effect relationship after the equivalence. By utilizing the characteristic that the overall lifting force is basically unchanged in the form reconstruction process, as shown in fig. 70-72, the form control device consists of a basic force auxiliary device and a control force output device:
(1) The basic force auxiliary device provides basic force required by form reconstruction by using an element with elastic potential energy, such as a spring, an energy accumulator and the like, and the magnitude of the basic force is as close as possible to the magnitude of the overall lifting force.
(2) The control force output device can adjust the output magnitude of the control force, and devices such as a central inflation and deflation system and the like can be adopted, and the sum of the output control force and the basic force is not less than the total lifting force.
The basic force auxiliary device is connected with the support frame assembly and the load-bearing wheel chain assembly body, so that the middle part of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly body has a trend of being far away from the central shaft; the control force output device is composed of a cylinder connected with the central inflation and deflation system, the cylinder is controlled to provide output force by controlling the output pressure of the central inflation and deflation system, and the cylinder is arranged between the support frame assembly and the cooperative mechanism assembly. As shown in fig. 73, the foundation force assisting device is composed of an accumulator 113, a ball valve 114, a hydraulic cylinder 110, a cylinder mount 115, an oil pipe 116, and the like. The accumulator 113 is fixed to the support frame connection member 32 and is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 110 through an oil pipe 116 and a ball valve 114. Hydraulic cylinder barrel is articulated with pneumatic cylinder mounting bracket 115, and pneumatic cylinder mounting bracket 115 links firmly on support frame connecting piece 32, and pneumatic cylinder piston rod is articulated with the heavy burden wheel chain assembly body 9 of installing between the suspension pull rod in the bottom, and the pin joint is close to the middle part position of heavy burden wheel chain assembly body 9. The energy accumulator and the hydraulic cylinders are arranged on two sides of the gear train in the same mode, and the hydraulic cylinders on the two sides are arranged in a staggered mode in space.
The accumulator 113 provides a certain output force to the hydraulic cylinder 110, and the middle portion of the bottom load bearing chain assembly 9 tends to move away from the center shaft assembly 4. By combining with actual requirements and optimizing design, parameters such as the volume of the energy accumulator 113, initial pressure, the diameter of a piston of the hydraulic cylinder and the like are reasonably selected, so that a stable and good linear relation is kept between the extension amount of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder and the lifting height of the central shaft assembly 4, and the output basic force is stably close to and smaller than the total lifting force.
Normally, the ball valve 114 is in an open state, so that the accumulator 113 is in oil communication with the hydraulic cylinder 110 for normal operation. When the traveling system fails or needs maintenance, the ball valve 114 can be closed to interrupt the flow of the oil between the accumulator 113 and the hydraulic cylinder 110, so that the form is fixed.
As shown in fig. 71, the control force output device is composed of a central inflation and deflation system, a cylinder 117, an upper cylinder mounting rack 118, a lower cylinder mounting rack 119, an air pipe 1110, a pneumatic rotary joint 1113 and the like. The mounting bracket is articulated with the synchronizing component of the cooperative mechanism on the cylinder, the mounting bracket is articulated with the support frame connecting piece of the support frame assembly under the cylinder, and both ends of the cylinder 117 are fixedly connected with the mounting bracket on the cylinder and the mounting bracket under the cylinder respectively. As shown in fig. 74, an air channel 1111 is formed in the center of the center shaft 40. Pneumatic rotary joint 1113 one end links firmly with the center pin assembly body, and the other end links firmly with the support frame assembly, specifically is that pneumatic rotary joint 1113 one end links firmly at the center pin tip through the bolt, communicates with air flue 1111, and the other end links firmly with support frame end cover 1112 through the bolt, and support frame end cover 1112 links firmly on the assembly body of outside support frame through the bolt, and cylinder 117 passes through trachea 1110 and pneumatic rotary joint 1113 intercommunication.
As shown in fig. 74, the central inflation/deflation system outputs compressed gas which passes through gas passages 1111 in the central shaft 40 and is distributed to the cylinders 117 through pneumatic rotary joints 1113 at the top end of the central shaft assembly 4. The output force of the cylinder 117 is positively correlated with the output air pressure of the central inflation and deflation system, thereby providing a control force.
The basic force provided by the basic force auxiliary device is combined with the control force provided by the control force output device, so that the form reconstruction of the walking system can be realized. By using the basic force assisting device, the control force required to be provided by the control force output device is greatly reduced, for example, when the load of the walking system is 2t, the maximum output force required by the control force output device is only 1200N, and is less than 10% of the basic force provided by the basic force assisting device.
In the process of reconstructing the tire form to the track wheel form, the walking system reduces the output force of the cylinder by reducing the output air pressure of the central inflation and deflation system, and under the actions of the self weight of the vehicle, the load and the like, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 110 retracts into the cylinder barrel, the cylinder 117 retracts, and the energy accumulator 113 accumulates energy until the track wheel form is reconstructed.
In the process that the track wheel form is reconstructed into the tire form, the air cylinder 117 is inflated by increasing the output air pressure of the central inflation and deflation system, so that the output force is increased; the accumulator 113 releases energy and the hydraulic cylinder 110 piston rod extends from the cylinder until the tire configuration is reconfigured.
The form reconstruction of the walking system is continuously controllable corresponding to the pressure output by the central inflation and deflation system.
In short, under the action of the form control device 11, the loaded wheel chain assemblies 9 are synchronously and gradually bent or straightened under the coordination of the cooperation mechanism assembly 5, so that the form of the outer peripheral side of the wheel train 2 is changed, and the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 adjusts the position of the driving wheel assembly 6, so that the driving wheel assembly 6 is brought into contact with or separated from the rubber crawler 1. In the above process, the cooperating mechanism assembly 5 controls the clutch assembly 10 to separate or engage the central shaft assembly 4 from the support frame assembly 3 at an appropriate timing, specifically: when the driving wheel assembly body 6 is contacted with the rubber track 1, the central shaft assembly body 4 is separated from the support frame assembly 3; when the drive wheel assembly 6 is disengaged from the rubber crawler 1, the center shaft assembly 4 is engaged with the support frame assembly 3. When the rubber crawler 1 is separated, the central shaft assembly 4 can rotate around the axis a under the supporting effect of the support frame assembly 3, and power is transmitted to the driving wheel assembly 6 through the driving wheel power transmission device 8, so that the driving wheel assembly 6 can be meshed with the rubber crawler 1, and the outer peripheral side of the circular gear train 2 of the rubber crawler 1 is driven to rotate. When the walking system is jointed, the central shaft assembly body 4 is fixedly connected with the support frame assembly 3, and the walking system integrally rotates. In the above process, due to the coordination of the coordination mechanism assembly 5, the tension degree of the rubber crawler 1 is unchanged, the circumference is stable, and the rubber crawler 1 cannot be separated from the wheel train 2 under the guiding action of the loading wheel chain assembly 9.
When the traveling system is in a tire shape, under the coordination effect of the coordination mechanism assembly 5, the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is bent into an arc shape, at the moment, the load-bearing wheels are uniformly distributed on the circumference of the outer circumference of the wheel train 2, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 enables the driving wheel assembly 6 to be separated from the rubber crawler 1, the clutch assembly 10 enables the central shaft assembly 4 to be connected with the support frame assembly 3 together, at the moment, the rubber crawler positioning device 33 limits the rubber crawler 1 to rotate around the outer circumference of the wheel train 2, and simultaneously, under the guiding effect of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9, the rubber crawler 1 is fixedly connected with the wheel train 2, so that the traveling system integrally rotates under the driving of a vehicle power output component such as a half shaft or a driving shaft.
When the traveling system is in a track wheel form, under the coordination action of the coordination mechanism assembly 5, the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is in a generally bent or completely straightened state, so that the load-bearing wheels are arranged in an approximately triangular shape on the periphery of the wheel train 2, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism 7 enables the driving wheel assembly 6 to contact the rubber track 1, the clutch assembly 10 separates the central shaft assembly 4 from the support frame assembly 3, the rubber track positioning device 33 no longer limits the rubber track 1, the central shaft assembly 4 transmits power to the driving wheel assembly 6 through the driving wheel power transmission device 8, and the rubber track 1 rotates around the periphery of the wheel train 2 through the meshing of the driving wheel assembly 6 and the rubber track 1.
Under the coordination action of the control of the form control device 11 and the coordination mechanism assembly 5, in the process that the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is gradually bent from a general bending state or a completely straightened state, two ends of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 are gradually close to the rotation axis a of the central shaft assembly 4, the middle part of the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is gradually far away from the axis a, the grounding area of the rubber crawler 1 surrounding the outer side of the gear train 2 is gradually reduced, and at the moment, the walking system is in a crawler wheel form; when the load-bearing chain assembly 9 is bent into an arc shape, the traveling system is in a tire shape, and the ground contact area of the rubber crawler 1 is minimized. In the process that the load-bearing wheel chain assembly 9 is gradually straightened from an arc shape, the walking system enters the track wheel shape from the tire shape, and the grounding area is gradually increased. In short, the form control device 11 can control the traveling system in the tire form or the track wheel form, and can adjust the ground contact area of the traveling system by adjusting the degree of bending of the load wheel chain assembly 9 in accordance with the terrain conditions in the track wheel form.
The form control device 11 can reconstruct the form of the traveling system by adjusting the force or displacement output thereof so as to be in the track wheel form or the tire form. When the tire is in a shape, the walking system integrally rotates, no internal friction and no power consumption caused by bending of the rubber track exist, the tire is suitable for high-speed motor on the terrains such as paved road surfaces and the like, and the vehicle can realize the same running speed and basically equal oil consumption as a wheeled vehicle; when the crawler wheels are in the shape, the ground contact area of the walking system can be adjusted, and the crawler wheels are suitable for soft off-road terrain with low adhesion coefficient, so that the vehicle can obtain optimal matching of trafficability, traction, maneuvering speed and the like. The running system has the advantages of both a tire and a rubber crawler running system, and has no damage to the road surface and no tire burst risk. Under the condition that the form control device 11 fails and loses control power, if the control system can be self-locked, the traveling system can keep the existing form to continue traveling, and if the control system cannot be self-locked, the traveling system is reconstructed into the limit state of the track wheel form to normally travel under the action of self weight and load, so that the form control device has the advantages of stronger terrain adaptability and higher reliability.
The control system also includes a positioning anti-tip system, as shown in fig. 75 and 76, which includes a positioning block telescoping mechanism and a positioning block escapement mechanism. The positioning block telescopic mechanism is connected with one end of the driving wheel mounting shaft and matched with a positioning block escapement mechanism fixed on the frame or the wheel reducer shell in a telescopic splicing manner. Specifically, the positioning block telescoping mechanism mainly comprises a guide block 1201, a swing rod 1202, an anti-overturning rod 1203 and a positioning block 1204. One end of the guide block is hinged or fixedly connected with the driving wheel mounting shaft 71 and moves up and down along with the driving wheel mounting shaft, the other end of the guide block is hinged with one end of the oscillating rod, the other end of the oscillating rod is hinged with one end of the anti-overturning rod, the anti-overturning rod penetrates through a through hole 301 in the inner support frame assembly body and forms a sliding pair with the anti-overturning rod, and the other end of the anti-overturning rod is fixedly connected with the positioning block.
In the process of reconstructing the shape of the traveling system, the driving wheel mounting shaft is far away from or close to the central shaft 40 along the axis F, the guide block 1201 moves along with the driving wheel mounting shaft to drive the swing rod 1202 to move, so that the anti-overturning rod 1203 and the positioning block 1204 are close to (extend out of) or far away from (retract into) the positioning block escapement mechanism along the through hole on the inner side support frame assembly 30, and the extending or retracting direction of the positioning block is parallel to the axis A.
In the tire configuration, the drive wheel assembly 6 is closest to the center axle 40, and the positioning block 1204 is away from the positioning block escapement mechanism, and the traveling system as a whole rotates along with the center axle 40.
When the tire mode is switched to the track wheel mode, the drive wheel mounting shaft 71 and the guide block 1201 are moved away from the traveling system center shaft 40 to move the swing lever 1202, so that the anti-roll lever 1203 and the positioning block 1204 are rapidly extended to approach the positioning block escapement.
When the positioning block 1204 extends a sufficient length to enter the range of action of the positioning block escapement, its overall rotation with the traveling system is restricted by the positioning block escapement, which now enters the track wheel configuration. Due to the limiting effect, the rotation of the support frame assembly 3 around the central shaft assembly 4 is limited, and the support frame assembly can only swing within a certain range to adapt to different topographic undulations. In the form of the track wheel, the extended length of the positioning block 1204 is stable, and the positioning block is kept within the action range of the positioning block escapement mechanism, so that the form of the traveling system is ensured not to be overturned.
When the traveling system is switched from the track wheel mode to the tire mode, the driving wheel mounting shaft 71 approaches the traveling system central shaft 40 to drive the guide block 1201 to move, so that the anti-overturn lever 1203 and the positioning block 1204 are rapidly retracted away from the positioning block escapement mechanism. And the positioning block is quickly separated from the positioning block escapement mechanism for constraint at the moment when the traveling system is adjacent to the tire shape, and the traveling system enters the tire shape at the moment.
The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the extending length of the positioning block in the form reconstruction process is L, and the extending length of the positioning block is stable, namely the extending length of the positioning block is changed to be within 25% of L when the track wheel is in the form, and typically the extending length of the positioning block can be within 16%. Specifically, when the tire form is changed to the track wheel form, the extension length of the positioning block is minimum, when the tire form is changed to the track wheel form, the extension length of the positioning block is rapidly increased, and when the extension length of the positioning block is increased by 84% of L, the extension length of the positioning block is M, the positioning block escapement mechanism can receive the positioning block, the traveling system is also changed to the track wheel form, and in the track wheel form, the extension length of the positioning block is not less than M. On the contrary, when the extension length of the positioning block is less than M, the positioning block is separated from the limitation of the positioning block escapement mechanism, the walking system has the condition of integral rotation, and when the positioning block is completely retracted, namely the extension length is the minimum, the walking system is converted into the tire shape at the moment.
As shown in fig. 77 and 78, the positioning block escapement mechanism is composed of a swing plate 1205, a swing plate holder 1206, a return spring 1207, and a buffer spring 1208. The swing plate bracket 1206 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 1210, and the mounting seat 1210 is fixedly connected to a position away from the ground, such as the hub reduction gear case 1211 or the frame. The swing plates 1205 are hinged to a swing plate support 1206 through pin shafts 1213, two swing plates 1205 are hinged to two ends of the swing plate support 1206 respectively, and reset pins 1209 are fixedly connected to the swing plates 1205. The return spring 1207 is a spring piece, one end of which is fixed to the end of the swing plate holder 1206 by a bolt, and the other end of which is fitted with a return pin 1209 fixed to the swing plate 1205. The return spring can also be a torsion spring, specifically, the torsion spring is sleeved on the pin 1213, one end of the torsion spring is connected with the swinging plate, the other end of the torsion spring is connected with the swinging plate bracket, and the function of the torsion spring is the same as that of the spring piece. The number of the return springs is four, two return springs are respectively arranged at two ends of the swing plate bracket 1206, the number of the return springs can also be two, and one return spring is respectively arranged at two ends of the swing plate bracket 1206; the buffer spring 1208 is a spring piece, the middle part of the spring piece is fixed on the front end face of the swing plate bracket 1206 through a bolt, and two ends of the spring piece can respectively contact with the two swing plates 1205 and are in sliding fit with the two swing plates. As shown in fig. 79, the swing plate bracket 1206 provides a swing limit for the swing plate 1205, and specifically, the middle of the two ends of the swing plate bracket has a concave structure to limit the rotation range of the swing plate when the swing plate rotates. The return spring 1207 and the buffer spring 1208 define an initial position of the swing plate 1205, and the return spring 1207 provides a restoring force to restore the swing plate 1205 when the swing plate 1205 swings. The damper spring 1208 provides a damping force when the swing plate 1205 is lifted.
When the traveling system is in the tire form, the positioning block retracting mechanism is far away from the positioning block escapement mechanism mounted on the hub reduction gear casing 1211, the extending length of the positioning block is minimum, and the positioning block retracting mechanism integrally rotates with the traveling system. When the state is switched to the track wheel state, the positioning block 1204 rapidly extends to be close to the positioning block escapement mechanism, and when the positioning block 1204 enters between the two swinging plates 1205, namely the action range of the positioning block escapement mechanism, the traveling system is switched to the track wheel state. There are two ways for the locating block 1204 to enter between the two swing plates 1205 depending on the extension of the locating block when it rotates with the travel system to the vicinity of the locating block escapement:
(1) the positioning block 1204 presses down the swinging plate 1205 at one side, the swinging plate 1205 rotates relative to the swinging plate support 1206, the reset pin 1209 fixedly connected to the swinging plate 1205 shifts the reset spring 1207 to deform, then the positioning block 1204 enters between the two swinging plates 1205, the swinging plate 1205 at the pressed side recovers the initial position under the action of the reset spring 1207, the positioning block 1204 continues to rotate along with the walking system and contacts with the swinging plate 1205 at the other side, the swinging plate 1205 is further lifted to rotate relative to the swinging plate support 1206, the buffer spring 1208 deforms in the process of lifting the swinging plate to buffer the swinging plate 1205 and prevent the rotation of the positioning block, the maximum rotation angle of the swinging plate is limited by the swinging plate support 1206, and the positioning block 1204 is finally limited by the swinging plate 1205 at the side to continue to rotate. Similarly, the swing plate 1205 on the side previously depressed further restricts the reverse rotation of the positioning block 1204, and the above-described process is illustrated in fig. 81 to 83.
(2) The positioning block 1204 does not hit the swing plate 1205 but directly enters between the two swing plates 1205, is restricted by the swing plate 1205 on one side in the direction of rotation of the traveling system to continue to rotate, and is restricted by the swing plate 1205 on the other side to rotate in the opposite direction, as shown in fig. 80 or 82.
In the two modes, the extension length of the positioning block of the former is slightly larger than that of the positioning block of the latter, but the final effect is the same. No matter the rotation direction of the traveling system is any, namely no matter the vehicle moves forwards or backwards in the traveling process, as long as the traveling system is switched from the tire form to the track wheel form, the positioning block escapement mechanism can accurately capture and receive the positioning block 1204, and the rotation of the positioning block can be limited within a certain range.
When the traveling system is in the form of the crawler wheel, the extending length of the positioning block is stable, so that the positioning block is always positioned in the action range of the positioning block escapement mechanism. When the walking system swings relative to the vehicle body due to topographic relief or obstacles in the process of traveling, the positioning block swings along with the positioning block and further contacts the swing plate, the swing plate is lifted to rotate relative to the swing plate support, and the buffer spring deforms at the same time to prevent the swing plate from rotating, so that the buffer is provided for the swinging of the walking system. Since the swing plate bracket 1206 limits the maximum rotation angle of the swing plate, the swing range of the traveling system with respect to the vehicle body is further limited. In addition, because locating piece escapement is in the position of keeping away from ground on automobile bodies such as wheel reduction gear casing, can ensure that the drive wheel is located running system upper portion and keeps away from ground, reduces granule impurity, mud bits etc. and piles up in drive wheel and rubber track meshing department to do benefit to drive wheel and rubber track and stably mesh, the circumstances such as drive wheel or track damage appear after having avoided the drive wheel to be in running system bottom with the track of drive wheel meshing.
When the traveling system is switched from the track wheel form to the tire form, the positioning block 1204 retracts toward the inner support frame assembly 30, the positioning block 1204 disengages from the positioning block escapement mechanism when being adjacent to the tire form, the traveling system can rotate as a whole, and when the positioning block is completely retracted, the traveling system is switched to the tire form.
The positioning anti-overturning system is separated from coordination of reconstruction of the form of the traveling system through extension and retraction of the positioning block, integral rotation of the traveling system in the form of a tire is not interfered, the driving wheel of the traveling system is positioned on the upper part of the traveling system and far away from the ground when the traveling system is in the form of a crawler wheel, overturning is avoided, internal components are protected, stable meshing of the driving wheel and a crawler is facilitated, meanwhile, the traveling system can swing according to the terrain, and the smoothness of the traveling system is improved. The system does not need a sensor and an electronic control element, can stably, accurately and repeatedly play a role in the advancing process of the walking system, and has high reliability.
It should be further noted that, in the present invention, the support frame assembly, the cooperating mechanism assembly, the driving wheel adjusting mechanism, the driving wheel power transmission device, the clutch assembly, and the form control device adopt a single-side part to still realize all functions of the traveling system. The clutch assembly can adopt a rotary key, and the form control device can adopt a single hydraulic cylinder, or a single electric cylinder, or a single energy accumulator, a single hydraulic cylinder and a single air cylinder.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the invention and it should be noted that modifications and embellishments could be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention and should be considered as the scope of the invention.
