Triangular caterpillar wheel

Abstract

The invention discloses a triangular caterpillar wheel. By the rolling motion function, the wheel not only can provide enough traction to improve the running capability of transporting equipment, but also has excellent obstacle crossing ability; meanwhile, the wheel has the advantages of the common caterpillar wheels, has a large contact area with the ground when running and does not sink into the snow. When the transporting equipment travels on even roads, the wheels are maintained in a gentle running mode; and at this moment, the transporting equipment has a great running function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a triangular crawler wheel, especially a wheel suitable for walking on thick snow-covered ground. Background technique [0002] With the continuous deepening of human exploration of the polar regions, how to transport the research materials, scientific research equipment and heavy equipment to the polar research stations through icebreakers has become a major challenge, and how to make snowmobiles and heavy convoys safely and quickly pass through the thick The snow-covered area has become a thorny problem faced by the current scientific research personnel. [0003] As we all know, the environment in the polar region is harsh, high cold, low oxygen, extreme weather, etc. have caused thick snow in the Antarctic region all year round, which may threaten the lives of scientific expedition members at any time, and transportation equipment often walks in the thick snow. There is a possibility of falling into snow. At present, the t...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] As we all know, the environment in the polar region is harsh, high cold, low oxygen, extreme weather, etc. have caused thick snow in the Antarctic region all year round, which may threaten the lives of scientific expedition members at any time, and transportation equipment often walks in the thick snow. risk of falling into snow

At present, the transportation equipment generally adopts round wheels or ordinary track wheels; however, when walking in such a thick snow environment, if the transportation equipment is equipped with round wheels, the transportation equipment will fall into the thick snow due to the small contact area between the wheels and the ground. It is difficult to get out of the snow, and the friction between the wheels and the ground is small, so it is difficult to obtain sufficient traction, which makes the transportation equipment run slowly or even cannot pass through the snow-covered ground. Therefore, it is difficult for conventional round wheels to ensure that the transportation equipment has Good running performance; if the transport equipment is equipped with crawlers, although it can ensure that the transport equipment will not fall into the snow, but at this time the friction between the track and the snow is very small, so the track wheels also do not have sufficient running performance

Therefore, the current transportation equipment does not have sufficient operational performance, and the transportation equipment may fall into snow at any time, and the transportation capacity of the transportation equipment is very limited, so it is difficult to ideally complete the material delivery task
