Vehicle having variable track
A vehicle having a front axle with a pair of front wheels having a track width adjustable between a wide track and a narrow track; a rear axle with at least one rear wheel; a steering wheel configured to control the turn of the rear wheel when the front wheels are set to the narrow track; track width control configured to change the track width of the front wheels and to change the wheel base between the front axle and the rear axle such that for the wide track of the front wheels the wheel base is longer than for the narrow track of the front wheels; a locking mechanism configured to lock the track width; wherein each of the front wheels is connected to a dedicated front wheel motor for driving that front wheel and to a dedicated front wheel brake for braking that front wheel.
Length-variable and pitch-adjustable wheelbase combine
A combine harvester with a variable length wheelbase. For example, a combine harvester may have a chassis defining a forward end and a rear end, a feeder house at the forward end of the chassis, a first set of ground-engaging elements supporting the forward end of the chassis, and a second set of ground-engaging elements supporting the rear end of the chassis. The second set of ground-engaging elements are configured to move forward and rearward relative to the chassis.
Mounting assembly for a steerable wheel with variable track width
A wheel-mounting assembly for an agricultural utility vehicle includes a chassis and a telescopic axle arrangement fixed to the chassis. The telescopic axle arrangement includes an inner axle telescopically received in an outer axle, which is fixed to the chassis. A wheel-support assembly is mounted to an outboard end of the inner axle. A steering-control actuator is connected between the inner axle and the wheel-support assembly. The steering-control actuator is connected to the inner axle through an opening provided in the outer axle, which allows the steering-control actuator to translate together with the inner axle when track width is adjusted.
Device with driven wheels having variable inclination
A moving system includes a first driving wheel and a second driving wheel associated to a supporting structure and rotatable to move the system forward or backward on a supporting surface. The first and the second driving wheel each include a spherical portion, the first driving wheel being rotatable around a first rotation axis and the second driving wheel being rotatable around a second rotation axis. The moving system further includes an inclination system that varies the inclination of the first rotation axis of the first driving wheel and/or of the second rotation axis of the second driving wheel so as to vary the diameter of the rotation circumference formed by the points of contact with the ground.
Steerable independent wheel suspension with additional bracket
The invention relates inter alia to a steerable independent wheel suspension for a mobile agricultural machine. A support device serves for the pivotable mounting of the independent wheel suspension on a frame part of the agricultural machine. At least one guide column is mounted displaceably in the support device. A wheel hub is guided displaceably along the at least one guide column. A bracket is connected fixedly to the at least one guide column so as to move with the at least one guide column. The bracket can allow a flexible and improved arrangement of height adjustment means, damping means and spring-mounting means of the independent wheel suspension.
Jet Sled
A jet-powered sled has a body having a control cockpit with control apparatus for an operator to control the jet sled, a set of surface runners adapted to engage a surface upon which the sled is operated, the surface runners removably engaged to spindles coupled to swing arms coupled to the jet sled, and an engine compartment having a jet engine removably mounted in a manner to direct thrust to a rear of the jet sled to propel the jet sled. The jet sled is characterized in that the sled may be adapted specifically to run on water, ice or snow by installing runners adapted for water, ice or snow on the spindles of the swing arms.
MOVEABLE SUBFRAME SYSTEM, A SLIDER BOX IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM, AND METHODS OF USE
A moveable subframe system, a slider box improvement system, and methods of use are presented. The present disclosure provides the state of the art with a safer, easier to use slider box system. The present disclosure relates generally to a moveable subframe system, a slider box improvement system, and methods of use. The disclosure is a device which relates generally to subframes for heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor trailers. The disclosure is directed to a moveable subframe for tractor-trailers which makes moving the tandem wheelsets forward and backwards easier and more efficient, especially in heavy loaded circumstances. More specifically, and without limitation, the present disclosure may be used to move and/or shift heavy applications. The disclosure provides a slider box system that enables an operator to easily move and/or adjust the location of the trailer and/or trailer load relative to the axle and/or axles.
PERSONAL MOBILITY AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A personal mobility and a control method are provided. The personal mobility includes: a main body; a front wheel mounted on the front end of the main body; a pair of rear wheels mounted on the rear end of the main body; an actuator configured to adjust a distance between the pair of rear wheels; an image data device mounted on the personal mobility and having a field of view outside of the personal mobility, the image data device configured to acquire image data; and a controller configured to determine at least one of user state information or external environment information based on the image data, and control the actuator to adjust the distance between the pair of rear wheels based on at least one of the user state information or the external environment information.
Weight Sensing Assembly
A weight sensing assembly for a semi-trailer truck enabling balancing of a load includes a sensing module, which is one of a plurality thereof. The sensing modules are mountable to wheels of the semi-trailer truck so that each axle has a sensing module engaged to outside wheels thereof. The sensing module obtains a pressure measurement of a tire engaged to the wheel and transmits it to an electronic device. Programming code on the electronic device enables it to utilize a pressure changes, upon positioning of a load upon the semi-trailer truck, to determine a weight that is positioned upon an associated axle. The electronic device calculates adjustments to positions of a sliding fifth wheel and of sliding tandems of the semi-trailer truck to obtain positions thereof that will achieve a legal weight distribution of the load. The electronic device presents, upon a screen thereof, the adjustments to a user.
Relative guide device for a steering arrangement arranged on the wheel-carrier side
A relative guide device (1) for a steering arrangement (31) is arranged on the wheel-carrier side for the spatial guidance and maintenance of the relative spatial orientation of the steering arrangement (31) with respect to a vehicle body (40). At least one telescopic movement apparatus (2) for movably connecting the steering arrangement (31) is arranged on the wheel-carrier side to the vehicle body (40). A steering force transmission device (30) transmits a steering force to a wheel (R) of a vehicle having a relative guide device (1), and to a wheel suspension (50) for a vehicle.
