A track drive for outdoor power equipment has a support frame with a centerline and a hub bearing attached to the support frame. A drive sprocket having a nesting interior half and exterior half is attached to the hub bearing, which enables the drive sprocket to rotate relative to the support frame. The drive sprocket is attached to an associated drive hub of a piece of outdoor power equipment. Drive sprocket teeth are spaced radially about the drive sprocket, with a first set of drive teeth attached to the interior half sprocket and located on an interior side of the support frame. A second set of drive teeth are attached to the exterior half sprocket and located on an exterior side of the support frame. The drive sprocket transmits a rotational force to an endless track to rotate the endless track and propel the outdoor power equipment.

An off highway vehicle having a plurality of track assemblies for supporting the vehicle for movement over terrains of various conditions. A track cleaning device is mounted on a chassis of the vehicle adjacent a powered roller of the track assembly. Each track cleaning device has an arcuate configured frame for supporting an endless chain assembly for movement in an arcuate path over an axel of the power driven roller of the track assembly for engaging, dislodging, and directing debris from the gap between the respective track assembly and chassis of the work vehicle.

A special suspension-type tracked underwater robot adaptable to ultra-soft geological conditions comprises traveling mechanisms, wherein the traveling mechanisms are track-mud sled structures, the mud sled structures are fixedly arranged on two sides of each track, and the bottoms of the mud sled structures are higher than the bottoms of the tracks and are provided with arched plate heads; the arched plate heads are provided with plate water-jet devices capable of spraying water forwards; and in the traveling process of the traveling mechanisms, and the arched plate heads press water downwards to form a water film at the bottoms of the mud sled structures together with the water sprayed by the plate water-jet devices, so that the traveling mud resistance is reduced, and the robot can stably advance under ultra-soft geological conditions. The special suspension-type tracked underwater robot further comprises a propelling mechanism, an adjustment device, an operating module, and the like, can autonomously advance on a seabed, can suspend in water, can repair itself when broken, and can achieve detailed operations.

Track system to be mounted on a vehicle in place of a rotatable OEM tire/wheel assembly, including: A frame. A drive wheel is rotatably mounted on the frame, operatively connectable to the drive shaft of the vehicle, and has a diameter of between 65% and 100% of the OEM tire diameter. Leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies are mounted on the frame. An endless track having an inner surface is disposed around the drive wheel, the leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies. The endless track has an unsupported portion between the drive wheel and one of the leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies. The unsupported portion has a length and a center. The unsupported portion deflects a distance of between 8% and 12% of its length on application of a 25-lb. force at its center.

An autonomous self-driving assembly for confined regions. The assembly is configured to move within and through narrow spaces as well as larger wider spaces. Once more, the assembly may support the carrying out of load-based applications even within the wider spaces. The assembly includes bracing capacity within such wide spaces to facilitate the carrying out of such load-based applications.

A self-driving assembly capable of traversing an elevated window. The elevated narrow space window may be present within a confined area, for example, at a wall separating different wide space rooms. The assembly is configured to carry out unique techniques for gaining access to the window from a floor level location. Further, in addition to gaining access unique stabilizing features may be employed both in terms of physical security at an edge defining the window as well as in the form of maintaining balance through unique control over mass transfer when secured at the window.

A snow groomer with touch screen controls for tensioning tracks, suspension, drive unit, accessories and other, comprising: a plurality of tracks; at least one accessory device selected in a group comprising a shovel or blade, a tiller assembly and a winch assembly; and a user interface comprising a display and a selector device for receiving commands from an operator, preferably the selector device is a device that detects a touch of an operator on the display; a control unit coupled to the user interface, in particular to the display, for sending images to be displayed to the display and receiving commands from the display which are related to the touches detected; wherein the control unit is configured to display on the display a main screen divided into a plurality of main screen portions, wherein the plurality of main screen portions are displayed together in the main screen and each in a different position in the main screen; wherein each main screen portion is configured to display an image that illustrates one or more pieces of data and/or information correlated to the tracked vehicle; the control unit is configured to detect one or more selections made by an operator, preferably on the display by means of a touch, corresponding to the type(s) of data or information that are required to be displayed in each portion of the display, and to display a main screen portion in each portion of the display, wherein each main screen portion is configured to illustrate a respective image relating to the data or information selected by the operator for said portion of the display.
