Design and Test of Mountain Track Electric Transporter
In order to meet the demand for cargo transportation in hilly and mountainous terrain,a mountainous track electric transporter powered by lithium batteries and driven by brushless DC motors,has been developed.A force analysis of the transport-er's climbing capabilities allowed for the proper selection of the brushless DC motors and batteries;key components such as the drive mechanism,gearbox,braking system,and control system were designed and manufactured.When the proposed transporter climb at an angle of 45°,and with a load of 200 kg,its uphill speed is 0.42 m/s.The test results show that the prototype's operat-ing speed,climbing performance,and safety performance all meet the design requirements,and it can meet the needs of transporta-tion operations in complex terrains such as hilly orchards and tea gardens.
