Description

The invention relates to vehicles intended for use in difficult terrain and rarefied atmosphere.

Known jumping vehicle, including traction fan, a housing mounted on spring-loaded wheels, and an engine moving the housing vertically up and down [1].

The disadvantages of the known jumping vehicle is its inability to work in a rarefied atmosphere.

The aim of the invention is to enable the vehicle to operate in a rarefied atmosphere.

This goal is achieved by the fact that in a jumping vehicle, comprising a housing and a base, wheels fixed to the base using springs, solar panels mounted on the housing, and a jumping engine, a jumping engine mounted on the base of the vehicle and consists of a pointing device and fixed in it with the possibility of installation and fixing at a predetermined angle to the horizontal of the guide tube, inside which a solenoid with a magnetic core in the form of a pusher is placed, the housing is made in the form of a ball seg enta with the possibility of its support in the initial position on two motor-wheels and at least one of the sloth wheels when the springs are compressed under the weight of the vehicle, made of plate, horizontal stabilizers with elevators are fixed on the side surfaces of the body, and in the tail parts - keel with rudder.

In addition, one of the leaf springs is fixed at one end to the base, and the other is rigidly connected to the leaf spring on which the motor wheel is mounted, forming an acute angle between them.

In addition, the leaf spring is made arcuate, one end fixed to the base, and the other freely sliding but to it.

In addition, the motor wheels are interconnected by an axis.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows a jumping vehicle (side view) with support-elastic devices consisting of two leaf springs each, figure 2 is the same with support-elastic devices in the form of arcuate leaf springs , in Fig.3 the same is a vertical section along the centerline.

The proposed jumping vehicle is mounted on a circular base 1, which is connected to the housing 2, made integral with the cockpit 3 and having a shape close to the shape of the ball segment. A lock chamber 4 is adjacent to the cabin 3. A hopping engine is installed in the recess on the base 1 at the epicenter of the vehicle’s gravity, consisting of a guide pipe 6 fixed in the guide device 5 with the possibility of installing and fixing the pipe 6 at a given angle to the horizontal. The guide tube 6 faces the open end down, and the blind one up, and contains a winding 7, a permanent magnet in the form of a pusher 8 with a tip 9.

Two motor wheels 10 are mounted on the sides of the base 1 using support-elastic devices. The support-elastic device is a leaf spring 11 fixed at one end to the base 1 and the other rigidly connected to a leaf spring 12 so that between them is formed an acute angle, a motor wheel 10 is installed at the end of the spring 12. In another embodiment, the support-elastic device is an arcuate leaf spring 13, fixed at one end to the base 1. and the other freely sliding along the main vaniyu 1. Geared wheel 10 is mounted on a spring 13 in the middle portion thereof. On the basis of 1, with the help of elastic support devices, the sloth wheels are fixed with the possibility of rotation in the direction of movement: in the nose part 15, in the tail part 16 - by 3 similar leaf springs, respectively 17 and 18, 19 and 20. On both sides of the housing 2 horizontal stabilizers 21 are installed with rudders 22 pivotally mounted on them, and in the rear part there is a keel 23 with a steering wheel 24. Solar panels 25 are attached to the housing 2, connected to batteries and electric voltage converters (not shown in the drawings).

Jumping vehicle operates as follows.

In the initial position, the vehicle rests on both wheels 10 and on both or on one of the sloth wheels 15 or 16 (depending on the inclination of the terrain at the vehicle location). Under the weight of the vehicle, the springs 11, 12, 13, 17 and 18, 19 and 20, or some of them, are compressed. The pusher 8 is located inside the guide tube 6. The solar panels 25 receive solar energy and transmit electricity to the batteries.

Movement over short distances is carried out using motor wheels 10. Power is supplied to their drives. By rotating the wheels 10, the vehicle begins to move. Wheel-sloth 15, or 16, or both turn in the same direction as the wheels 10. If you need to change the direction of movement of the vehicle, then reduce the speed of the wheel 10, located on the side where you want to direct the movement. To rotate the vehicle in place, the wheels 10 are rotated in different directions (one forward, the other back).

Before making the jump, the situation in the direction of movement is examined visually and using a radar. The navigation computer evaluates the situation and gives recommendations on the driving mode. The crew selects the best option for movement, in accordance with it, turns the vehicle in the selected direction and sets the guide tube to the desired angle. After that, an electrical impulse is supplied to the winding 7. The resulting electromagnetic field acts on the pusher 8. The pusher 8, which is a permanent magnet, moves down the pipe 6 and pushes the vehicle away from the soil. The energy of the thrust of the engine is supplemented by the energy of expanding springs of supporting elastic devices. The vehicle jumps. During a hopping flight, the crew visually, as well as using a locator and a navigation computer, assesses the condition of the terrain in the area where the vehicle is heading. If necessary, the direction of movement and the landing point are adjusted using the rudders 22 and 24.

When the vehicle is landing, the springs of the resilient devices are compressed, accumulating energy for the next jump.

The presence of stabilizers 21 and keel 23 increases the stability of the vehicle in hopping flight. And the springs of the support-elastic devices soften the shaking during the landing of the vehicle. By adding to the thrust force of the hopping engine the elastic force of the springs, the jumping distance is increased and, as a result, the economy of the vehicle. The shape of the hull (convex above, flat below) not only increases its stability on the ground against winds, but also gives lift when moving in the air and thereby increases the range of the jump and its efficiency.

A motor based on a permanent magnet solenoid as a core and in the form of a pusher does not require oxygen during operation, which allows its use in a rarefied atmosphere
