Abstract

According to the proposition of the 7th National College Students Engineering Training Comprehensive Ability Competition, the paper systematically clarifies the structural design ideas of the thermally driven vehicle that meets the requirements of the competition, and designs a thermally driven vehicle that can realize autonomous walking accordingly. The core of the vehicle's design is the use of a Stirling engine to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy to power the drive vehicle, which is powered by burning liquid alcohol. This article relates the process of designing the thermally driven vehicle, applying cam as the steering mechanism, gears as the main transmission, and debugs and modifies the actual walking trajectory of the trolley is produced based on the structural design and kinematic simulation.
