REMOTE CONTROL WHEELED TRANSPORT FACILITY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B62D7/04 F41H7/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, namely, to self-propelled vehicles. Proposed transport facility comprises wheel platform with, at least, three wheel pairs, body turning about wheel platform, stabilised turret, support rollers, storage batteries, two motors to drive transport facility and turn body and wheel pairs, central reduction gearbox, transmission with running gear, control drive, brakes, wheel shock absorbers and transport facility remote control hardware. Body is turned about wheel platform central vertical axis by RH motor via coupling and right bevel gear of central reduction gearbox. Driven gear of said gearbox is rigidly engaged by central vertical shaft with wheel platform body bottom. All wheel pairs turn in synchronism and through the same angle the body turns relative vertical axis of wheel platform driven by tube rigidly coupled with support of central reduction gearbox horizontal shafts and two drive sprockets of chain gear. Driven sprockets are rigidly engaged with turn columns and housings of wheel pair cross-axle differentials. Turret position is stabilised in horizontal plane in motion jointing turret with wheel platform body via toothed clutch. Note here that drive half-coupling is rigidly engaged with driven bevel gear of body turn drive gearing and central vertical shaft. Driven controlled half-coupling is fitted on stationary shaft rigidly engaged with turret that features two locked positions, i.e. bottom position is turret stabilisation cut-in position, top position is turret stabilisation cut-out position.

EFFECT: simplified drive and stabiliser design.
