The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples.

Specific embodiment 1 of the special equipment provided by the present invention:

as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the special equipment in the present embodiment is actually an amphibious vehicle, and the special equipment includes a vehicle body 100, a wheel assembly 300 and a steering mechanism 400 for driving the wheel assembly 300 to steer are mounted on the vehicle body 100, and a part of the steering mechanism 400 is located in the vehicle body, and another part is located outside the vehicle body.

In the prior art, the steering mechanism 400 and other parts at the bottom of the vehicle body 100 are exposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 100 and are uneven, when the special equipment is sailed on water, water vortexes can be formed at the uneven parts, the driving resistance of the special equipment in the water is increased, and the highest sailing speed and the endurance mileage are affected. Therefore, as shown in fig. 1, the floor structure 200 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the vehicle body 100, the left and right sides of the floor structure 200 are connected to the bottom of the vehicle body 100, and a part of the steering mechanism 400 and other parts of the bottom of the vehicle body 100 are enclosed, so that the bottom of the vehicle body 100 has no uneven structure, and the running resistance is reduced.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the bottom plate structure 200 here includes a first bottom plate 201, a second bottom plate 202, and a third bottom plate 203 connected in series from front to back, wherein the bottom plates are fixed together by welding or gluing. The first bottom plate 201 is high in front and low in back, and the arrangement is designed to improve the buoyancy of the special equipment when the special equipment runs forwards. In this embodiment, each bottom plate is a flat plate. A space for installing the steering mechanism 400 is left between the second bottom plate 202 and the vehicle body 100, the bottom of the vehicle body 100 is a closed structure except for the space, and the left and right sides of the space are opened for the steering mechanism 400 to extend out and be connected with the wheel assembly 300. The third floor 203 is used to close the bottom of the vehicle body 100 behind the steering mechanism 400.

The steering mechanism 400 is constructed as shown in fig. 3, and includes a left rocker shaft 401 and a right rocker shaft 403, both of which extend upward and downward and are rotatably mounted on the vehicle body 100. The upper end of the left rocker shaft 401 is fixedly provided with a transmission arm 402, and the transmission arm 402 can drive the left rocker shaft 401 to rotate around the axis of the transmission arm 402. The transmission arm 402 is sleeved on the upper end of the left rocker shaft 401 and fixed, and may be fixed by a shaft clamp. A steering gear is connected to the transmission arm 402, and applies a swinging force to the transmission arm 402. Here, the right rocker shaft 403 is not connected to the driving arm 402.

A left rocker arm 404 is fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the left rocker shaft 401, one end of the left rocker arm 404 is connected to the left rocker shaft 401, and when the left rocker shaft 401 rotates, the left rocker arm 404 can be driven to swing back and forth. A left tie rod 405 and a left knuckle arm 406 are connected to the left rocker arm 404 in this order, and the left knuckle arm 406 is connected to the left wheel assembly 300. The structures of the left rocker arm 404, the left steering rod 405, and the left knuckle arm 406 are the same as those in the prior art, and are not described herein again. When the left rocker shaft 401 rotates reciprocally, it can drive the left wheel assembly 300 to steer. Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 3, a right rocker arm 407, a right steering tie rod 408 and a right knuckle arm 409 are sequentially mounted on the right rocker arm shaft 403, and the structure and the mounting manner thereof are identical on the left side, which is not described herein again. Wherein, the two ends of the left steering tie rod 405 are provided with spherical hinges, which are respectively connected with the left rocker arm 404 and the left knuckle arm 406, and the left knuckle arm 406 is positioned below the left steering tie rod 405; two ends of the right steering tie rod 408 are provided with spherical hinges and are respectively connected with a right rocker arm 407 and a right knuckle arm 409, and the right knuckle arm 409 is positioned below the right steering tie rod 408.

Since the right rocker shaft 403 is not connected to the transmission arm 402, an intermediate steering rod 410 is connected between the left rocker arm 404 and the right rocker arm 407 to steer the right wheel assembly 300, and the power of the left side is transmitted to the right side through the intermediate steering rod 410. In this embodiment, the lower end of the left rocker shaft 401 is inserted into the left rocker arm 404 in a rotation-stopped manner, and the lower end of the right rocker shaft 403 is inserted into the right rocker arm 407 in a rotation-stopped manner, and specifically, the rotation-stopped assembly may be realized by providing splines on the outer portions of the left rocker shaft 401 and the right rocker shaft 403, and providing spline grooves in the left rocker arm 404 and the right rocker arm 407.

Because the special equipment needs to sail in water, the less the structures exposed outside the vehicle body, the more the structures located in the vehicle body, the more the structures in the vehicle body, and the larger the buoyancy reserve space of the special equipment; and the difficulty of water sealing is also considered. In this embodiment, the upper end of the left rocker shaft 401 penetrates into the vehicle body 100, and a dynamic seal (not shown) is provided between the rocker shaft 401 and the vehicle body 100, which is a rotary seal (not shown) to ensure that the left rocker shaft 401 can rotate and ensure sealing at the same time. The actuator arm 402 and the steering gear connected to the actuator arm 402 are located in the vehicle body, the lower end of the left rocker shaft 401 is located outside the vehicle body 100 and above the second base plate 202, and the left rocker arm 404, the left steering tie rod 405, the left knuckle arm 406, the right rocker arm 407, the right knuckle arm 408, and the right knuckle arm 409 extend out of the second base plate 202 to both sides. In the prior art, in order to realize rotary sealing, a steering gear and a structure at the transmission downstream of the steering gear are positioned outside a vehicle body, the steering gear is connected with a steering wheel through a rotary transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft penetrates through the vehicle body. Compared with the prior art, the structure outside the vehicle body 100 is reduced in the embodiment, so that the buoyancy reserve space of the special equipment can be increased, and the resistance of the special equipment in water running can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the rocker shafts, rocker arms, steering links, and knuckle arms together form a steering linkage that is disposed between the steering gear and the wheel assembly to transmit power.
