Abstract

With the purpose of improving vehicle trafficability on invertebrate terrains, an new kind of walking device "sliding boot" is designed. The sliding boot clamped on the front wheel as a plier, when vehicle is running on invertebrate terrains. The vehicle is in the morphology of the front wheel sliding and the rear wheel driving, as "floating-submerging" platform. With the relation between the tire rubber and sliding boot as the breakthrough point, the synthesis and analysis of sliding boot design is researched. Firstly, the mechanics equilibriums are analyzed. The deformation between the sliding boot and the front wheel is analyzed based on compliance. The research method of sliding boot is verified by test. The test verifies the sliding boot could clamp tire moderately and meet the vehicle driving requirements. The research method is reasonable and practicable.
