Popis: Aiming at the various special circumstances of automobile driving process, a main-auxiliary structure metal spring wheel is proposed, which prevents effectively the abrupt accident caused by blown or punctured tire. Its working principle is described in detail. Besides, the simplified mechanical models of the wheel, the main and auxiliary spring are established. The radial stiffness FEM models of main and auxiliary spring are established. The radial deformation and contact pressure of the wheel are analyzed when the maximum deformation of main spring is 6.22 mm. The radial stiffness curve of a single auxiliary spring is obtained. The relationship among the radial force, the radial deformation, the grounded angle and the grounded circles of auxiliary spring is deduced combining the deformation and stress characteristics of the spring mesh. Finally, the reliability of the mechanical and simulation models is verified by the radial stiffness test.
