Abstract: A space frame for a machine is disclosed. The space frame may have a first end configured to be connected to front wheels of the machine. The space frame may also have a second end configured to be connected to rear wheels of the machine. Further, the space frame may have primary structural members arranged substantially lengthwise between the first end and the second end. In addition, the space frame may have secondary structural members connected between the primary structural members to form substantially triangulated structures allowing the space frame to support a payload to empty vehicle weight ratio ranging from about 1.2:1 to 2:1.
Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于机器的空间框架。 空间框架可以具有构造成连接到机器的前轮的第一端。 空间框架还可以具有被配置为连接到机器的后轮的第二端。 此外,空间框架可以具有基本纵向地设置在第一端和第二端之间的主要结构构件。 此外,空间框架可以具有连接在主要结构构件之间的次级结构构件,以形成基本上三角形结构,允许空间框架支撑有效载荷,从而将车辆重量比从大约1.2:1到2:1。

Abstract: A node is disclosed. The node may have a first structural member. The node may also have a second structural member disposed at an angle relative to the first structural member. Further, the node may have a first end plate attached to a first end of the first structural member. The node may also have a second end plate attached to a second end of the second structural member. In addition the node may have a connector plate attached to the first end plate and the second end plate. The connector plate may be disposed generally orthogonal to the first end plate and the second end plate.
Abstract translation: 公开了节点。 节点可以具有第一结构构件。 节点还可以具有相对于第一结构构件成一定角度设置的第二结构构件。 此外,节点可以具有附接到第一结构构件的第一端的第一端板。 节点还可以具有附接到第二结构构件的第二端的第二端板。 此外,节点可以具有连接到第一端板和第二端板的连接板。 连接器板可以大致垂直于第一端板和第二端板设置。
