The invention relates to a spring-suspended, bearing force-optimized belt-band traveling gear (10) for ground vehicles, particularly for self-propelled agricultural machines and other off-road vehicles, comprising at least two outer deflection rollers (14, 15, 16, 17) over whose periphery an endless belt-band (22) rolls off, and at least one supporting roller (24) for supporting the belt-band section, which is in contact with the ground, between both deflection rollers (14, 15, 16, 17). A bogie truck (12, 13), in which the at least two deflection rollers (14, 15, 16, 17) are mounted in a manner that enables them to rotate, is supported against a body frame of the vehicle by means of a first fluidic suspension unit and/or damping unit. The at least one supporting roller (24) is supported on the bogie truck (12, 13) by means of a second fluidic suspension unit and/or damping unit. A fluidic coupling of the suspension units and/or damping units of the bogie truck (12, 13) is provided against the vehicle frame and the at least one supporting roller (24) mounted on the bogie truck (12, 13).

A suspension system is provided for a vehicle track assembly having a lower front idler wheel, a lower rear idler wheel, an upper drive wheel, a support link, a plurality of lower support wheels arranged between the idler wheels and mounted on the support link, and an endless belt mounted around the wheels. The front and rear idler wheels are separated by a length L. The track assembly defines an upper belt plane which is tangent to one of the idler wheels and the drive wheel and defining a lower belt plane which is tangent to the front idler wheel and the rear idler wheel. The vehicle has a center of gravity located a distance H above the lower belt plane. The suspension system includes a suspension member pivotal about a fixed pivot axis. The suspension member has a first end coupled to the support link by a resilient member. The suspension member also has a second end pivotally coupled to an axle pin defining a rotation axis of the idler wheel, and pivotally coupled to an end of the support link. The rotation axis and the pivot axis define a suspension axis. The suspension axis and the upper belt plane defining a first angle θ. The suspension axis and the lower belt plane defining a second angle φ, such that (sin φ− sin θ)÷(H/L× cos φ)=1.

摘要:
A suspension system for the idlers and guide wheels, and related structures, of a belted track-type vehicle provides cushioning for the vehicle and components as the vehicle traverses obstacles and uneven terrain. The suspension system also provides tensioning and recoil for the endless track belt during ingestion of foreign material between the belt and the idler wheel. The suspension system includes a plurality of hydropneumatic struts connected between the vehicle frame and various belt guiding and supporting components. Most endless track machines utilize auxiliary frame assembles on each side of the main vehicle frame to support track guiding rollers, idler wheels, suspension systems, and track recoil mechanisms. These auxiliary frame assembles are bulky, heavy, and complicated and generally limit the total amount of suspension and recoil afforded to the idler wheels and track guide wheels. The subject suspension system is void of any auxiliary track frames and connects all of the suspension and recoil struts directly to the main frame. This provides considerable amount of travel for the recoil and suspension struts and provides high speed capabilities for the vehicle. Additional, the subject suspension includes a controllable lock-out of a cushion cylinder to provide a stable work platform during certain work functions of the vehicle.

A relatively low-cost, lightweight vehicle has a traction belt drive system, a force-spreading air bag suspension, and operational efficiency features. The traction belt cooperates with track wheel assemblies on each side of the vehicle to spread the suspension forces and to provide efficient steering ability. Each traction belt can be in the form of a Moebius strip. The air bag suspension uses integral air bags on each side of the vehicle cooperative with plural flaps pivotable on a central keel to spread varying suspension forces and to smooth the ride over a variety of terrains. The vehicle lends itself to efficient relatively low cost manufacturing techniques using standard materials.

A hydropneumatic suspension system consists of plural separate individual wheel suspension units, one for each wheel, whereby should damage occur to any one of the units, it will not affect the operation of the other units. The heat generated by each individual wheel suspension unit is kept to a minimum, and the heat that is generated is dissipated through the vehicle hull by locating the valving and fluid passageways in close proximity to the hull. Increased heat dissipation may also be obtained by providing an air cooled tube in the fluid path between the actuator and accumulator, and by providing a flow path for the return fluid from the accumulator to the actuator in the unit mounting flange which is bolted or otherwise secured in close mating engagement with a large surface area of the vehicle hull.
