Design and Co-Simulation Analysis of Flip Climbing Transmission System for Stair-Climbing Wheelchair

Article Preview

Abstract:

: In this paper, I designed a differential planetary gear for flip climbing transmission system which was applied to the star-climbing wheelchair. According to space limitation and the stair climbing per formance requirements, distributing the number of teeth for each gear under transmission ratio requirements. Furthermore, modifying tooth profile parameters on each gear for improving the quality of the transmission. Using SolidWorks software established t he three-dimensional model. Then impact and contact simulated analysis is studied based on the SolidWorks Motion Plugins to get transmission and meshing condition. At the same time, gave the SolidWorks Motion output data as a result of the input data to t h e SolidWorks Simulation. Through the simulation results validate the output center gear tooth can meet the carrying capacity requirements. On the other hand, it also provides theoretical basis for further improve the structure design.
