Self-made Tank Principle PowerPoint Presentation

Action device

The use of track walking, just like laying an endless track for tanks, makes it possible for them to move smoothly, quickly, and safely through various complex terrain. Due to the large contact area, it increases the tank's ability to pass through soft, muddy roads, reducing the amount of sinking. Since the track plates have patterns and can be equipped with spikes, they can firmly grip the ground on roads such as rain, snow, ice, or uphill, preventing sliding. Due to the track's contact length of 4-6 meters, the center position of the driving wheels is relatively high, so the ability to cross ditches and walls is stronger. The width of a typical tank's trench crossing can reach 2-3 meters, and it can pass through a vertical wall 1 meters high. The track also has a special function, when crossing rivers, it can take a submerged crossing, moving along the riverbed; if it's a floating track, it can generate propulsion like a propeller, driving the vehicle forward.

The track is driven by the drive wheel, surrounded by the drive wheel, load-bearing wheel, guiding wheel, and towing wheel. The track consists of track plates and track pins, etc. The track pins connect the track plates to form a track chain ring. The ends of the track plates have holes that mesh with the drive wheel, and the middle has guiding teeth, used to regulate the track and prevent the track from falling off when the tank turns or tilts. On the side that contacts the ground, there is a reinforced anti-skid rib (referred to as the pattern), which improves the durability of the track plate and the adhesion of the track to the ground.
