Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS61191476
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable a pair of connected vehicles to move on the same track by installing a memorizing device storing variables relating to steering angle for predetermined distance covered by a forerunning vehicle in a body of rotation and controlling the steering angle of the following vehicle in accordance with the stored data. CONSTITUTION:When front wheels 31, 32 of a forerunning car 3 are steered, a bevel gear 38 is revolved through a linking device 34-37, with the rotation transmitted to a following vehicle 5 through a transmitting devices 45-47, causing the rotation of the first arm touching on a steering angle memorizing device 6 in the direction of A. Meanwhile, because the ring 7... of the steering angle memorizing device 6 is revolved interlockingly with the front wheel 52 of the following vehicle, only pin 9 touching the arm 91 is pushed into the ring 7 and pressed down from both sides by thick parts 81 of pressing plates 8 at a position surpassing the angle theta. This indicates the state in which variables related to steering angle are stored. The stored variables are read through the second arm 92, and through the control of a tie rod 55 front wheels 51, 52 are steered.
