Abstract: Combining with the clinical demands of surgery, a new X-ray apparatus whose G arm is composed of two parallel C arms is designed. The X-ray apparatus can solve the existing problems that the workspace of X-ray machines is insufficient and the shock of the vehicles to ground is relatively serious, meanwhile eliminate the adjustment time of X-ray machines. After building a 3D model of the X-ray apparatus, the stiffness of horizontal C arm is analyzed and its structure is optimized. Based on the method of D-H, the research establishes the transformation relation of position and orientation between the horizontal C arm and the vehicle, and figures out the workspace of the G arm. Aiming at the omnidirectional mobile and uniform obstacle negotiation of the vehicles on the ground, the vehicle's static model is established and analyzed. The results show that the vehicle can realize omnidirectional mobile and be driven by the terrain. Building two obstacle negotiation models under different driving conditions by ADAMS, contrasting and analyzing the impact of the cross arm in two models. The final results show that the vehicle driven by intermediate wheel is able to ease the impact from the terrain mutations, which validates the rationality of design.
