项目摘要

Escaped wheels from Transport Trucks is a highly dangerous, often fatal occurrence. Wheel escapes are attributed to two issues:1. The failure of wheel studs and 2. Bearing failure/over heat. The problem is exacerbated by the large number of trucks andtrailers on the highways. According to provincial records, 70% of failures are due to studs losing torque.We propose the development of two separate solutions that prevent truck wheels from escaping during operation therebyeliminating a road hazard, i.e., oftentimes fatal. The first solution uses pre-calibrated wheel studs which are studs that have built in switches that activate at a predetermined stud elongation and cause a signal to be sent to the vehicle operator that a specific Lug Stud is either under torqued, over-torqued or sheared. The second solution is a compression ring that uses low Young's modulus material below the lug nut to compress and close a switch at a predetermined pre-load and cause a signal to be sent when an undesirable torque level is present. Both systems can be monitored by GPS from remote locations.The two solutions are required to penetrate the complete market and resolve the wheels issue. The first solution deals with thelarge number of trucks and trailers that already exist and are presently on the roads today. An inexpensive and easy to installsolution is required to quickly convert these vehicles into safe travelling units. The second solution is for new equipment wherein the system may be facilely installed during original assembly.

运输卡车的逃脱车轮是一种非常危险的，通常是致命的。车轮逃逸归因于两个问题：1。车轮螺柱的故障和2。轴承故障/过热。高速公路上的大量卡车和货车加剧了问题。根据省级记录，有70％的故障是由于螺柱失去了扭矩。我们建议开发两种独立的解决方案，以防止卡车轮在操作过程中逃脱，从而降低了道路危害，即通常是致命的。第一个溶液使用预校准的轮螺柱，这些螺柱是在预定的螺柱伸长延伸的开关内置的螺柱，并导致信号发送给车辆操作员，表明特定的凸耳螺柱要么在扭矩，过度折叠或剪切的情况下。第二个解决方案是一种压缩环，该压缩环在凸耳螺母下方使用低年轻的模量材料来压缩并在预定的预载之前关闭开关，并在存在不良扭矩水平时发出信号。两种系统都可以由GPS从远程位置监控。需要两种解决方案来渗透完整的市场并解决车轮问题。第一个解决方案涉及已经存在的卡车和拖车数量，目前已经存在于今天的道路上。需要便宜且易于安装的解决方案，以将这些车辆快速转换为安全的旅行单元。第二个解决方案是针对新设备，其中可以在原始组装过程中彻底安装系统。
