链脚式电动爬楼载物车爬升传动系统设计与分析 by 陈延伟, 郭化超, 王占礼, 满大强

“…Through the fixed chain abutment members contact with stairs and at the same time along with the chain cycle movement,the function of climbing stairs is achieved.From the use requirement and economic factors into account,the transmission system adopts incorporation way of gear and chain,which makes the integral structure design more compact and transmission process smoothly to meet the transmission requirements.In order to ensure the reliability during the movement process,the force situation of the chain abutment during climbing process is analyzed.The design and calculation of chain transmission parameters and chain abutment are carried out,the stair-climbing test is also taken for the design of stairs climbing loading car,the results show that the overall structure is reasonable,the operation process is stable and can meet the design requirements.…”
