Abstract

This article focus on the configuration synthesis of electric-drive transmissions for tracked vehicles. First, a new graph theory model is proposed to represent the transmission mechanism, which makes the complex transmission system easier to understand. Second, a configuration synthesis method is proposed based on kinematics and statics, in which the speed degree of freedom and torque degree of freedom are considered as the constraints of configuration synthesis. Also, the expressions for speed degree of freedom and torque degree of freedom are derived. Third, based on the graph theory model, the necessary condition to achieve skid steering in the transmission of tracked vehicles is obtained. The results of this article can provides a theoretical basis for the design and analysis of transmission mechanism of tracked vehicles.
