Abstract
Vehicles will face different working conditions during the use, and different working conditions have different requirements for vehicle functions, which results in many subdivided models. An off-road vehicle is a subdivision model produced to adapt to complex road conditions. In order to adapt to complex road conditions, vehicles should have a good passing ability, small size, and good flexibility. The six-wheeled vehicle has both good passing ability and small volume, which is the best choice for off-road vehicles. The design of the steering system becomes the key step to improve the flexibility of the six-wheeled vehicle. This paper mainly designs an independent steering system for a six-wheel electric vehicle with higher flexibility. The system is designed for six-wheel electric vehicles driven by six in-wheel motors. It mainly includes mechanical steering system and electronic control steering system. Both mechanical steering systems and electronic control steering system have multiple steering modes. Firstly, this paper introduces the various steering modes of the mechanical steering system and the electronic control steering system. Secondly, a CAD model is established by using the software Solidworks, and the system structure is introduced in detail combined with the CAD model. Finally, a kinematics model is established and calculated. The calculation results showed that the steering system can significantly improve the flexibility of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can complete the steering stably and quickly on complex road sections.
Highlights
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, automobile technology has made comprehensive progress
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, automobile practitioners have proposed several new types of steering systems, which improve the flexibility of vehicles
Relevant documents introduced a new type of electric vehicle steering system, including four-wheel steering system [1,2,3,4], in-wheel motor drive system [5], control of steering system [6,7,8,9,10], kinematics model, and calculation of four-wheel steering [11,12,13]. e above system is applied to the four-wheel steering system to improve the handling and flexibility of the four-wheel steering vehicle. e four-wheel steering system includes a four-wheel independent steering system and a four-wheel linkage steering system. e four-wheel independent steering system generally uses the steering motor to drive the wheels to steer independently, so that the steering angle of each wheel can be controlled separately, which improves the flexibility of the vehicle, but the stability is relatively poor. e four-wheel linkage steering system is Mathematical Problems in Engineering generally mechanical linkage steering
