    摘要: A tractor configuration includes a mainframe structure, a control station having a means of controlling the tractor, an undercarriage system having one left side and one right side track assembly, a wheel mechanism containing one or more wheels located forward of the track assemblies, a power train for forcing both track assemblies to travel at the same or different speeds, a controller responsible for exerting force to transfer vertical load back and forth between the front portion of the track assemblies and the wheel mechanism and controlling the amount of weight carried by the wheel mechanism. The controller causes or allows the wheel or wheels of the wheel mechanism to follow the tractor's curved path caused by track speed difference.

    摘要: A mobile robot generally including a first suction module, a second suction module and a hinge assembly pivotably connecting the suction modules together. Each of the suction modules includes a support frame defining a vacuum chamber and a vacuum unit supported on the support frame and communicating with the vacuum chamber. The vacuum unit includes a rotating impeller and an exhaust cowling surrounding the impeller. The impeller has an axis of rotation and is adapted to draw air from the vacuum chamber into the impeller in a direction generally parallel to the impeller axis of rotation and to discharge the drawn air in a direction substantially perpendicular to the impeller axis of rotation. The exhaust cowling is adapted to redirect the discharged air, whereby a thrusting force is applied to the support frame in a direction opposite of the direction of the drawn air from the vacuum chamber.

    摘要: A traction unit capable of traversing and turning on surfaces that include compound curves like the surface of a sphere or are inverted like a ceiling. The traction unit includes a plurality of trucks operable to propel the unit across a surface and a plurality of adherence members operable to releasably secure the unit to the surface. In operation, the adherence members cyclically attach to and release from the surface as the trucks propel the unit across the surface. Within each cycle, after the unit has traveled a predetermined distance relative to an attached member, the member releases the surface and reattaches to the surface at a different point.

    摘要: A vehicle suitable for on-and off-road use has a track drive with auxiliary frames mounted under the vehicle frame between front and rear wheels, the auxiliary frames having continuous tracks on carrier wheels driven by hydraulic motors, each auxiliary frame being independently vertically displaceable relative to the vehicle frame by means of corresponding lifting cylinders between a fully retracted position for travel on wheels only, and a fully extended position for tracks only travel. The lifting cylinders are adjustable for leveling the vehicle to a horizontal position on uneven ground while the vehicle is supported on the tracks. Such an auxiliary track drive can be installed in an existing motor vehicle for improved off road usage and particularly for use in soil sounding applications.

    摘要: A vehicle for use in ski-area snow grooming operations and also for use in summer maintenance operations which is provided with a four-wheel hydrostatic-drive transmission and four-wheel steering. The vehicle has a frame/body/engine assembly which provides a centrally located low center of gravity and high operator visibility. The vehicle has a relatively broad wheel base which is further broadened by mounting of at least four snap-on wheels. A wrap-around cleat assembly is mountable on each of four multiple-wheel sets for increasing traction in snow. An engine-driven snow processing apparatus operable in both a snow blading state and a snow compacting state is provided.

    摘要: A tractor has a PTO shaft disposed at one side and generally centrally so that it can be connected to an input shaft of an implement extending laterally from the tractor's rear lifting device. The PTO shaft is housed to be movable laterally towards or away from the remainder of the tractor. The tractor's engine is between its front and rear wheels and its drive shaft is transverse to the tractor's longitudinal centerline. The width of the engine is less than the width from outboard side to outboard side of the tractor's front wheels. The fuel tank is offset on one side of the tractor opposite the aforesaid PTO. The front wheels of the tractor are situated within the tracks of the rear wheels so that the front and rear wheel tracks do not overlap and are about equal distances apart. All wheels are driven by individual hydraulic motors. Two further PTO shafts extend to the tractor's three-point lifting device and the other to one side thereof. An alarm alerts the operator if the power required for the tractor's propulsion is a disproportionate share of that available whereby there is insufficient power for the aforesaid or other PTO shafts and any implements connected thereto. The hydraulic fluid which drives the wheels can be delivered to the front or rear wheels either in series to ensure both wheels are powered or in parallel.

    摘要翻译: 拖拉机具有设置在一侧并且大致居中的PTO轴,使得其可以连接到从拖拉机的后提升装置横向延伸的工具的输入轴。 PTO轴被容纳以便横向或远离拖拉机的其余部分移动。 拖拉机的发动机位于其前轮和后轮之间,其驱动轴横向于拖拉机的纵向中心线。 发动机的宽度小于拖拉机前轮外侧至外侧的宽度。 在与上述PTO相对的拖拉机的一侧上,油箱偏移。 拖拉机的前轮位于后轮的轨道内,使得前轮和后轮轨道不重叠并且彼此间隔大约相等。 所有车轮均由单独的液压马达驱动。 另外两个PTO轴延伸到拖拉机的三点提升装置,另一个延伸到其一侧。 如果拖拉机推进所需的功率是可利用的份额不成比例的一个报警器,警告操作人员,因为上述或其他PTO轴和与之相连的工具的功率不足。 驱动车轮的液压油可以串联地输送到前轮或后轮,以确保两个车轮被动力或并联。
