A method of uniform weight distribution between the wheel driving gears

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of trailing weight distribution between wheel drivers and the tangent traction creating in the each gear’s contact zone to the supporting surface in full compliance with the wheel gear’s trailing weight. Exposed is a constructive solution of portable traction augmenter with the weight distribution and corresponding auxiliary traction distribution between wheel drivers. The research aim consisted in designing a portable traction augmenter maintaining the weight distribution between wheel drivers. The researched problem relates to revealing the relation between the wheel drivers’ trailing weight distribution and the tangential traction arising when these wheel drivers are rolling along the supporting surface. The considered questions can be used for wheel drivers’ optimal loading with tangential traction and consecutive efficiency improving. The obtained structural design solutions for a portable traction augmenter with distributed weight moving along the supporting surface on pneumatic tires, when tire deformation work takes place opposing to the resistance force can be used to calculate wheel drivers’ quality factors.
