A support structure having at least one connecting member, a shaft, at least one axle transversally connected to the shaft and at least one resilient member for connecting the at least one support wheel assembly to a frame of a track system is disclosed. The at least one resilient body defines an aperture, in which one of first and second portions of the shaft is received, and has an inner portion that is fixedly connected to the one of first and second portions and an outer portion that is fixedly connected to the at least one connecting member. Upon resilient deformation of the at least one resilient member, the shaft is rotatable, and the at least one axle is pivotable, about the longitudinal axis. The at least one resilient body biases the shaft toward an initial position upon rotation thereof. A track system having the support structure is also disclosed.

A snowmobile includes a chassis, at least one ski, and a skid frame that includes one or more slide rails extending longitudinally, rear idler wheels, upper idler wheels, and a rear suspension. The rear suspension may further include a flexible, composite member, a rear shock connected between the one or more slide rails and the upper cross member, a rear shock link, a rear cross member connected between the one or more slide rails and a lower shock pivot member pivotally connected to the rear cross member. The rear shock is connected to a rear portion of the lower shock pivot member and the rear shock link is connected via a spherical pivot joint to a forward end of the lower shock pivot member. The flexible, composite member is coupled at a first end to the one or more slide rails and at a second end to the chassis.

Disclosed are a special robot with complex terrain adaptive function and a motion and operation method thereof. The special robot comprises a crawler chassis, a shock absorption suspension assembly, a suspension adaptive adjustment assembly and an electronic control assembly. The present disclosure achieves an adaptive angle adjustment on the left and right sides of the shock absorption suspension assembly, including the independent pitch angle and roller angle adjustment on the left and right sides of the shock absorption suspension assembly by the configuration of structures such as the suspension adaptive adjustment assembly and then achieves the adaptability of the robot on complex and tough pavement conditions by the combination with a sensor for pavement perception, which ensures walking performance and attachment ability of mechanisms, further improves the load-bearing performance of the crawler robot, ensures the safety, stability and adaptability of the mobile platform.

Electric Powered Boots are a new compact and rugged motorized multi-terrain micro-vehicle for individual powersports, mobility for ground troops, or anyone who has difficulty in walking or running. For use on snow, sand, asphalt, hard dirt, or mud, electric powered boots elevate the prior teachings of motorized surf boots of U.S. Pat. No. 5,643,029 to the next level of fit, form, and function, by adding novel features and components in an innovative packaging arrangement that provides increased safety, functionality, and ergonomics during use on land.

The invention relates to a deflector arrangement (100) for a tracked vehicle (V). Said tracked vehicle (V) comprises at least one track assembly (T1, T2) comprising two end wheels (1, 2) in the form of a front wheel (1) and a rear wheel (2), and further a plurality of road wheels (3) there between. At least one of the front wheel (1) and rear wheel (2) is a drive wheel (1) and at least one of the front wheel (1) and rear wheel (2) is a tension wheel (2). The track assembly (T1, T2) further comprises an endless track (4) disposed around said end wheels (1, 2) and plurality of road wheels (3). Said deflector arrangement (100) is configured to reduce ingestion of undesired material from the ground (G) into said track assembly (T1, T2) and remove such undesired material from said track assembly (T1, T2). Said deflector arrangement (100) is associated with an end wheel (1, 2) and is resiliently suspended and biasedly arranged so as to strive towards the inner surface (4a) of the endless track (4).

The present disclosure relates to a tandem walking beam suspension system which comprises a main walking beam pivotably mounted to the vehicle sub-frame, a first pair of spaced apart and parallel secondary walking beams pivotably mounted about the main walking beam first end, a second pair of spaced apart and parallel secondary walking beams pivotably mounted about the main walking beam second end, a first pair of rollers rotatably mounted in-between and to the first pair of secondary walking beams, and a second pair of rollers rotatably mounted in-between and to the second pair of secondary walking beams, the first and second pairs of rollers being configured to roll along the track when the track-mounted vehicle is in displacement. The system may further comprise a compression device connecting the sub-frame and the main walking beam such as to provide vertical displacement of the main walking beam relatively to the sub-frame.

A suspension system for a tracked vehicle includes a track roller configured to contact and roll relative to an inner surface of a track. In some examples, the track roller includes an axle member, a roller mounting bracket mechanically connected to the axle member, a frame mounting bracket configured to attach to a frame of the tracked vehicle, and a plurality of coil springs disposed between the roller mounting bracket and the frame mounting bracket. The plurality of coil springs is configured to reduce an impact force transferred from the track roller to the frame of the tracked vehicle.
