Mechanical Design and Analysis of a Tracked Mobile System for Patrol Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

Patrol robots can be applied in many fields, such as accident prevention and Troubleshooting. In this paper, we introduce mechanical design and analysis of a tracked mobile system for patrol robot which solves the occupation problem of motor and gear box in traditional tracked mobile system. The structure of the tracked mobile system includes sprocket constructed by the wheel motor, closed track chain which is meshing with the sprocket and the idler and also hinged by track shoes and high intensity pins. Finally, finite element analysis is carried out on several key components to verify the rationality of the design.
