Abstract: The present invention relates to a caterpillar track wheel with division of work between track and chain, methods for fitting unit track with flexible chain ring, methods for buffering prestress, and an open-dose type axle housing. Since a structure that each unit track is separated from a flexible chain ring is adopted, the thickness of the unit tracks does not influence the winding stress of the flexible chain ring and the unit tracks without thickness limitation can effectively disperse stress from the ground to more supporting wheels. Since the thinner flexible chain ring is only responsible for serially connecting the unit tracks and transmitting power, the winding stress and the tension change are reduced.
