Design and Analysis of Steering Mechanism for Small Tracked Vehicle

Abstract:

The steering mechanism of tracked vehicles is complicated and large, which is an obstacle for its miniaturization. According to the theory of rubber-belt CVTs, a new kind of steering mechanism for small Tracked vehicle is designed. The mechanism consists of two symmetrical-layout rubber-belt CVTs. A sliding part for steering is designed, which can slide axially to make the transmission ratio of one transmission increase while the other reduces, so that the tracked vehicle turns. The steering motion is calculated and its motion discipline is founded. The steering sensitivity and steering smoothness are analyzed, and its steering performance is evaluated.
