Abstract

The electromechanical coupling performance of crawler machinery is investigated. A dynamic equation of electromechanical coupling of crawler machinery is established under multi-typical working conditions. The variation in performance of electromechanical parameters during unstable operations over time is analyzed using the virtual prototype and electromechanical coupling model of crawler machinery. The correctness of the electromechanical coupling model is confirmed by comparing the theoretical analysis, virtual prototype simulation, and physical prototype results. This study provides accurate and valuable theoretical methods and fundamental knowledge to analyze the electromechanical and road driving performance as well as to develop and design a crawler machinery.
