Definitions
- the present invention relates to an amphibious vehicle.
- Amphibious vehicles offer the ability to travel on and off the water with the same vehicle, which is very useful in areas without harbor facilities. If the amphibious vehicle has caterpillars, it can also move to land areas without roads, such as coastal areas.
- Relatively efficient water movement requires these vehicles to have a hull of hydrodynamically acceptable shapes and, of course, aquatic propulsion means such as a propeller, hydrojet or sail.
- aquatic propulsion means such as a propeller, hydrojet or sail.
- the integration into this hull further terrestrial propulsion means, such as wheels or caterpillars, is delicate. In order not to penalize the performance of the vehicle in water propulsion, it is particularly important to prevent these means from being immersed during the water propulsion phases and causing too much drag, for example by being retractable.
- WO 2007/141515 describes an amphibious vehicle with tracks and / or wheels mounted sliding along a vertical axis or pivoting along a longitudinal axis.
- these propulsion means remain very close to the water surface and are fully subject to marine elements (waves, waves ...) and may therefore penalize the phases of aquatic propulsion.
- this solution leads to a vehicle of great width, particularly in the case of wheels or crawlers pivoting along a longitudinal axis.
- US 2005/0003715 discloses an amphibious vehicle with tracks mounted pivoting on the sides of the vehicle that can take two positions, an extended position where they can rest on the ground and allow the vehicle to progress on the ground, and a folded position during the phases of aquatic propulsion where they rest on spaces reserved for this purpose on the bridge of the vehicle.
- the tracks in the folded position are not likely to cause drag, but either they occupy a large part of the deck surface, or they are kept away from the deck surface and lead to a significant enlargement of the vehicle.
- DE 2004 059 861 discloses an amphibious vehicle with wheels mounted at the base of retractable boxes.
- the boxes are retracted and integrated into the hull for land propulsion, and deployed for aquatic propulsion, transforming the vehicle into a catamaran.
- the wheels are fixed relative to the caissons and are therefore immersed in the aquatic propulsion phase, causing drag. To minimize this drag leads to adopt small wheels, which makes the terrestrial propulsion inefficient.
- the object of the invention is to solve these problems, in particular to provide an amphibious vehicle in which the terrestrial propulsion means do not cause the vehicle to lose its nautical qualities and / or its habitability.
- the invention proposes an amphibious vehicle comprising: a shell having a longitudinal axis,
- Terrestrial propulsion means mounted on arms pivotable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said hull, being able to assume an extended position in which said vehicle can move on land by means of said ground propulsion means and a position folded used when said vehicle moves on water through said means of aquatic propulsion.
- the arms engage by pivoting in cavities formed in the shell and a portion of the arms form a cap which closes the cavity in the extension of the hull.
- the arms carrying the terrestrial propulsion means therefore have a dual function: a mechanical link function between the amphibious vehicle and its land propulsion means,
- the amphibious vehicle comprises two pivoting arms arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal plane of symmetry of said vehicle, but it can also comprise two pairs of arms arranged in the same way.
- said terrestrial propulsion means engage at least partially in said cavities and are entirely above the waterline. This minimizes the drag that occurs when the vehicle is subjected to a breaking wave or wave of bow.
- the earth propulsion means may for example be caterpillar tracks or wheels mounted at the end of each arm.
- the earth propulsion means may constitute side fenders for the amphibious vehicle.
- the tracks or wheels have a portion that protrudes from the shell and, given their resilient nature (rubber ...), can perform the function side threshing device for the amphibious vehicle.
- the aquatic propulsion means for example a Z drive and a propeller or a hydrojet, may comprise an engine, for example an internal combustion engine.
- the earth propulsion means may comprise a hydraulic pump driven by said engine.
- These hydraulic means may comprise at least two independent hydraulic motors, each actuating for example a crawler or a wheel train.
- the bottom walls and the upper walls of said cavities are integral and may also be pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the arms so as to take a folded position in which the bottom walls and upper close the cavities and, when said amphibious vehicle rests on its land propulsion means, an extended position in which the vehicle deck is laterally cleared.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic cross-sectional views of an embodiment of the amphibious vehicle according to the invention, the terrestrial propulsion means being respectively deployed and folded,
- FIG. 1C is a partial schematic view in perspective of the same embodiment of the amphibious vehicle, the terrestrial propulsion means being folded,
- FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C are partial schematic perspective views of another embodiment of the amphibious vehicle according to the invention, the terrestrial propulsion means being folded (FIG. 2A) and deployed (FIGS. 2B and 2C),
- FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are partial schematic perspective views of another embodiment of the amphibious vehicle according to the invention, the terrestrial propulsion means being folded (FIG. 3A) and deployed (FIGS. 3B and 3C).
- the amphibious vehicle comprises a shell 1 delimiting a hull 2 and cavities 3a and 3b, each comprising lateral partitions, an upper partition 9a and 9b and bottom partitions 8a and 8b, which are formed in the sides of the hull 1.
- Two arms 4a and 4b are formed in the sides of the hull 1.
- the arms 4a and 4b are located respectively in the cavities 3a and 3b. On one of their faces, they comprise lids, respectively 6a and 6b, which close at least partially the respective cavity and are placed in the extension of the hull 2.
- the arms 4a and 4b are carrying at their free end 5a and 5a crawlers 5b.
- these caterpillars 5a and 5b find at least partially place in the cavities 3a and 3b.
- the covers 6a and 6b ensure the continuity of the portion of the hull 2 immersed and the caterpillars 5a and 5b are entirely above the waterline, so as not to sacrifice the nautical properties of the vehicle amphibious.
- the terrestrial propulsion means may be constituted by a wheel train 7a and 7b disposed longitudinally, as shown in Figures 2A to 2C and 3A to 3C.
- the arms 4a and 4b may be longitudinally elongate in shape, especially when they carry caterpillars or wheel trains.
- the arm 4a (respectively 4b) may consist of two panels, for example flat, 11a and 12a (respectively 11b and 12b), forming an obtuse angle, the panel 11a being mounted pivoting on the shell 1, the panel 12a carrying the tracks or wheels.
- the rolling axis of the tracks or wheels is in the extension of the panel 12a.
- the cover 6a is constituted by the outer face of the panels 1a and 12a.
- the arm 4a (respectively 4b) consists of a single panel 13a (respectively 13b), and the rolling axis of the tracks or wheels is orthogonal to said panel.
- the vehicle comprises two pairs of arms and two pairs of lateral cavities disposed on either side of the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle.
- Each arm can then carry a wheel and have on one of its faces a cap for closing the respective cavity in which it folds.
- the tracks (5a, 5b) or the wheels (7a, 7b) do not penetrate fully into their respective recesses (3a, 3b) and taking into account the resilient nature of the material which constitutes them (rubber, rubber, etc.). ), they advantageously constitute side fenders for the vehicle when it is docked dock.
- the bottom partition 8a (respectively 8b) and the upper partition 9a (respectively 9b) of the cavity 3a (respectively 3b) are integral and are pivotally mounted about an axis. parallel to the pivot axis of the arm 4a (respectively 4b) and located in the lower part of the bottom wall, at the height of the bridge 10, to extend outwardly of the shell 1 of the vehicle.
- the bottom partitions 8a and 8b close their respective cavities 3a and 3b and must therefore make a good seal with the shell 1, for example by means of a seal and a locking in the folded position.
- bottom partitions 8a and 8b can pivot and take an extended position when the arms 4a and 4b have already themselves taken an extended position, the amphibious vehicle then resting on its land propulsion means.
- the bridge 10 of the vehicle In this deployed position of both the arms 4a and 4b and the bottom walls 8a and 8b, the bridge 10 of the vehicle can be entirely clear laterally, which allows easy loading and loading which can be useful for a transport application. charge.
- the bottom walls 8a and 8b protect the terrestrial propulsion means, whatever they are, and play the mudguard function.
