When laying the track of the electric flat car in the workshop, calculating the turning radius is a key step to ensure the reasonable layout of the track and the smooth and safe operation of the vehicle. Here are some considerations and steps for calculating the turning radius:

1. Considerations

Vehicle parameters:

The size of the electric flat car (such as length, width, height, etc.) will directly affect the space required for it to turn.

The wheelbase of the vehicle (the distance between the two wheels on the same side) is also an important factor affecting the turning radius. The longer the wheelbase, the larger the turning radius is usually.

The load and speed of the vehicle will also affect the turning performance, but they are usually not directly used to calculate the turning radius.

Track parameters:

The material and structure of the track should meet the operating requirements of the electric flat car and have a certain durability.

The track gauge (the distance between two parallel tracks) will affect the stability and turning performance of the vehicle.

The wear of the track will affect the driving and turning of the vehicle, so regular inspection and maintenance are required.

Turning angle:

The larger the turning angle (such as close to 90 degrees), the larger the required turning radius is usually.

On the contrary, the smaller the turning angle, the smaller the required turning radius may be, but the stability and safety of the vehicle should also be taken into consideration.

Safety factors:

When calculating the turning radius, it is necessary to fully consider the safety factors to avoid accidents such as vehicle rollover or sliding off the track due to a too small turning radius.

The turning radius should be ensured to meet the safety requirements of vehicle operation and leave appropriate margins to cope with possible errors and changes.

2. Basic calculation method

Calculation based on the length and radius of the arc track:

Assuming that the length of the arc track is L and the radius is r, then the arc angle = L / r.

During the operation of the track flatbed car, the turning radius of the vehicle can be determined by studying the length and radius of the arc track.

Calculation based on wheelbase and maximum turning angle (similar to the turning radius calculation method of a car):

R=L/(2×sin(δ)), where R is the turning radius, L is the wheelbase (the distance between the two wheels on the same side of the vehicle), and δ is the maximum turning angle (the maximum angle that the steering wheel or steering mechanism can reach when the vehicle turns).

This method requires obtaining the wheelbase and maximum turning angle parameters of the vehicle, and then substituting them into the formula for calculation.

3. Notes

Consider the layout of the workshop:

When calculating the turning radius, it is necessary to fully consider the layout and space limitations of the workshop to ensure that the track layout is reasonable and does not conflict with other equipment or obstacles.

Consider future expansion:

If the workshop needs to expand or add new equipment in the future, sufficient space should be reserved when calculating the turning radius to cope with possible changes.

Regular inspection and maintenance:

Regularly inspect and maintain the track to ensure its flatness and stability to extend the service life of the track and ensure the safety and stability of vehicle operation.

In summary, calculating the turning radius of the electric floor leveler track in the workshop is a comprehensive problem involving multiple factors. In actual operation, it is necessary to analyze and calculate according to the specific situation, and fully consider the influence of factors such as vehicle parameters, track parameters, turning angles and safety factors.
