Description

The invention relates to transport and technological means, in particular to amphibious all-terrain vehicles capable of overcoming routes along poorly bearing supporting surfaces, including loose snow, areas with thin, crushed ice or open water.

The Arctic is one of the least developed by man, but at the same time one of the most promising regions on the planet. This is due to the fact that a significant amount of the most diverse mineral resources is concentrated behind the Arctic Circle. Obviously, the implementation of Arctic energy projects is a complex and multifactorial problem. One of the problems is providing technological processes for the development of the Arctic with reliable all-terrain vehicles.

State of the art

Small-sized displacement watercraft are known, which include jet skis - jet skis. Jet skis usually have a length of up to three meters and a lifting capacity of up to 300 kilograms, can reach speeds of up to 150 km / h. One of them is described in patent RU 2264949.

The disadvantage of this technique is its limited cross-country ability.

A lot of developments are known for vehicles with a shiftable center of gravity. Among them, an all-terrain vehicle with a movable center of gravity (patent RU 2381941), containing body stabilization means, providing a center of gravity displacement relative to the horizontal axis by two or more jacks of a pivotally mounted body with a cab, as well as a transport platform with a movable center of gravity (patent EP 1703353 ), containing the stability system, made in the form of two retractable roller bearings.

A disadvantage of the known designs is their low efficiency when operating at various speed modes in all-weather off-road conditions and when overcoming water obstacles.

The closest analogue of the proposed technical solution is an unmanned snowmobile transport platform with a movable center of gravity (patent RU 159557). This platform has increased stability when driving on rough terrain due to the simple design of the slewing ring, providing a shift in the center of gravity of the payload.

However, this technical solution does not allow to efficiently solve the vehicle’s cross-country issues when overcoming sections of the route with changing characteristics of the supporting surface, including sections with open water, broken ice or hummocks.

The technical result that this invention is directed to is to increase the efficiency of the vehicle.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the multi-purpose transport and technological platform with a displaceable center of gravity, bearing a payload, contains a mover in contact with the supporting surface. Moreover, it is new that the platform body is made in the form of a catamaran of a given shape with a displacement volume, which provides buoyancy at a given level of immersion of the mover of a completed platform with a payload, while the mover of the platform is connected to its body by three movable steering elements supporting and deploying the mover relatively longitudinal the axis of the platform body and / or pushing the mover to a predetermined value along the axis of the platform body.

This is the totality of essential features that provides a technical result in all cases to which the requested amount of legal protection applies.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

in FIG. 1 shows two side views of an amphibious transport and technological platform comprising a housing 1 with a mover 2, supported by a supporting surface 3. The symbol S shows the magnitude of the adjustable displacement of the mover along the longitudinal axis of the platform body. The displacement of the mover is carried out in order to change the total length of the structure, the position of the center of gravity of the platform (X) and regulate the stern trim of the platform to effectively overcome various obstacles: snow, ice hummocks, exit from water to ice, exit from pits with loose snow, etc. ;

in FIG. 2 is a front view showing the front support members 4 located at a predetermined distance from the longitudinal axis of the platform body and providing directional and lateral stability of the structure. Supporting elements can be made easily removable from materials that provide good sliding on the supporting surface, and containing intermediate shock-absorbing elements, such as inflatable skis;

in FIG. 3 shows a top view with the image of the steering elements 5, providing rotation of the mover relative to the longitudinal axis of the platform body on the suspension 6, and the element 7, moving the mover along the body of the platform 1;

in FIG. 4 shows options for the position of the mover relative to the platform body;

in FIG. 5 shows a platform view in a displacement mode on water 8 in front of an ice obstacle 9;

in FIG. 6 shows a view with the center of gravity of the platform displaced aft to exit the water onto ice.

The proposed amphibious transport and technological platform can be performed in unmanned, single and multi-seat versions. Unmanned versions of this design can be controlled programmatically or remotely by radio signal through a radio communication system 10, which can also be used to transmit audio, video and other information in real time from the instrument technology module 11 with infrared illumination 12.

In the implementation of the claimed invention, well-known technical solutions and means can be used. Known hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical or combination drives can be used to control the drives.

The technical nature of the solution is confirmed by the presence of a technical result obtained in the implementation of this invention. The proposed solution for the first time indicates the path and technical means by which the task can be solved.

Thus, the claimed invention has new properties leading to a positive effect.
