UNIVERSAL VEHICLE WHEEL ON TUBES-TIRES AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING ADHESION (FRICTION) POWER OF ITS WHEELS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B60B15/00 B60B39/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: wheel includes a rim and protective belts provided with movable lugs located along the wheel tread and changing the angles of the vertical position under the influence of an uneven surface, independently of each other. The tube-tire in the wheel-to-surface abutment contact area serves as an air-rubber cushion for the rim, the tread belts and the lugs. During the contact of the lugs with the surface, the tread belts are displaced, and these displacements are adjusted relative to the tube-tire, in the direction of the longitudinal surface-to-wheel reaction force to the wheel-to-surface abutment contact area. Moreover, the pressure change in the tube-tire creates even or different protective belt displacements relative to the tube-tire, in the direction of the longitudinal surface-to-wheel reaction force to the wheel-to-surface abutment contact area. Thus, the vehicle wheel possibility is increased and the force of its adhesion when driving on various surfaces without slippage is simultaneously regulated.

EFFECT: increasing the vehicle wheel adhesion reliability and the ability to adjust the adhesion force when driving on various surfaces without slipping.
