Design of Mechanical Systems for Prototype of a Vehicle with Omnidirectional Traction.

Abstract

This article focuses on the design of the mechanical systems for a single-seater vehicle with omnidirectional traction, taking as a reference point the regulations of the SAE formula, based on this criterion, a load analysis was carried out to determine the necessary calculations for the design. From each of the parts of the different systems, starting from these calculations, the selection of the appropriate gearbox was carried out to obtain the ideal revolutions; As main points we have the optimization by topology of the wheel hubs, which consists of reducing the material to use only what is necessary, in it. In the same way as innovation we have the design of the suspension knuckle, fulfilling various functions being a single piece as they are, housing and protecting the electrical components and in turn serving as support to the suspension arms, for each of the designs was It is essential to consider both the longitudinal movement and the lateral movement made by the car and in this way it was possible to identify each effort made in each design, reaching the manufacture of each element and demonstrating through the construction and assembly of the vehicle that each process carried out was efficient because the omnidirectional vehicle worked with total normality and under the appropriate operating parameters.
