Abstract
The subject of the paper is modeling and strength analysis of the prototype of the multi-tasking car trailer. The innovativeness of the solutions applied consists in the combination of several single-purpose trailers into one, allowing for multitasking and the combination of several specialized trailers. Using the author's solution, the prototype of a multi-purpose trailer has been developed, which has the characteristics of several specialized trailers, such as for the transportation of general cargo, kayaks, motorcycles, quads etc. The model has been created by using SolidWorks package and it has been used for full strength analysis by simulation module. The sample analysis results cover various load configurations with respect to selected trailer construction components.
Highlights
The issues about the road transportation have been considered in this paper
The proposed construction solution is based on a traditional car trailer, which due to its modularity is able to transform into a specific application. What distinguishes it from other trailers is multitasking achieved thanks to innovative solutions
The strength analysis of the prototype of a multi-tasking car trailer has been performed in scope of this work
Summary
The issues about the road transportation have been considered in this paper. This work is a result of progress of considerations of the studies described in [1-7]. The proposed construction solution is based on a traditional car trailer, which due to its modularity is able to transform into a specific application. The trailer is adapted for various tasks, including specialist tasks, such as transporting large loads, motorcycles or kayaks It has a hinged platform enabling entry of small vehicles, e.g. mowers or quads. The strength analysis of the prototype of a multi-tasking car trailer has been performed in scope of this work This trailer in its construction contains some innovative solutions which haven’t been used in designing such machines yet. The proposed solution have been made as a result of the needs to design one universal trailer combining purposes of transporting in example: kayaks, gates, windows, or the selfpropelled vehicles (lawn mower or quads), and motorcycles. There is a need to transform the car trailer to be used of the other purposes, among others to modify a car trailer into a panel van (wagon) or carriage of horses
