Optimized Design of Operating Mechanism for Planetary Steering Machine of Tracked Vehicle

Due to the limitation of the structure and working principle of the steering device of the secondary planetary steering machine, it is impossible to adjust the braking force of the small brake and the steering radius on the basis of the first position. It is difficult to correct the direction accurately when driving at high speed, which affects the performance of the vehicle. The steering device of a tracked vehicle is analyzed. In order to solve the problems, a hydraulic control device was designed, and the tracked vehicle was reformed. The improved prototype was tested and the steering radius could be adjusted steplessly in a large radius range.
