Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vehicle having an air-formed body.

The vehicle according to the present invention can be used not only on land but also on water as a rubber boat, and on land it can be used on rough terrain,
To provide a vehicle that can travel on water, can be folded, is compact and can be transported by land by truck or by air by helicopter, and is convenient for storage.

A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a rubber boat-shaped vehicle body, and an air chamber 2 is formed around it.By filling air into this air chamber 2, it can be expanded into a use state and its rigidity will change. Given. Guide wheels 3 are foldably attached to both front and rear ends of the vehicle body 1 by support legs 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a gate-shaped frame constituting the automatic traveling body, and constituting a drive and control unit. In other words, there are two front and rear panels at the lower ends of both sides of the gate-shaped frame 5.
Tandem drive wheels 6 are provided, and an engine room is formed within the frame 5, and an engine 7 for driving the drive wheels 6 is installed.
Furthermore, a pilot's seat 8 is suspended vertically from the lateral member of the frame 5, and the pilot's seat 8 has a control stick 9 for controlling the engine 7 and performing braking operations.

Both sides of the substantially central portion of the vehicle body 1 in the longitudinal direction are removably attached to the gate-shaped frame 5 of the drive and control unit as described above.
Then, with the vehicle body 1 attached to the frame 5, the air in the air chamber 2 is discharged, so that the vehicle body 1 is folded as shown in FIG.
It is housed within a frame 5, and the bottom surface 10 of the vehicle body 1 is used as a lid 10.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when not in use, the vehicle body 1 is stored in the frame 5 to make it compact and placed in a hangar or the like, as shown in FIG.

For example, in the case of rescue operations such as disasters, the above-mentioned compact form is transported overland by truck or by air by helicopter to the vicinity of the disaster area, the folded vehicle body 1 is opened, and the air compressor installed in the frame 5 is transported. Alternatively, the air chamber 2 of the vehicle body 1 is filled with air using an air cylinder or the like to impart extension and rigidity to form the vehicle body 1 in the form of a rubber boat, and the vehicle travels on drive wheels 6. This driving can be steered or direction-changed like a tank by stopping or reversing either the left or right drive wheels 6 by controlling the engine 7 and braking using the control stick 9. Furthermore, even on rough terrain, the driving wheels 6 are located at the center of the vehicle body 1 in the longitudinal direction, and by moving the air in the air chamber 2 of the vehicle body 1, the inside of the vehicle body 1 is deformed to follow the rough terrain. The vehicle can run over water, float due to the buoyancy of the vehicle body 1, and be propelled by the rotation of the drive wheels 6 acting as a water wheel. Further, on the water, by removing the vehicle body 1 from the frame 5, it can be used as a rubber boat.

As described above, the vehicle according to the present invention can be stored in a compact form when not in use, and can be used on land and water when in use.Moreover, since it has an air-formed body, the vehicle body can deform and drive over rough terrain. It can also be used as a rubber boat, making it useful for rescue operations during disasters.

In addition, the present invention has a configuration in which a rubber boat-like vehicle body is suspended on a gate-shaped frame of an automatic traveling body, and the propulsion force from the drive wheels is received by the gate-shaped frame and the rubber boat is suspended on the automatic traveling body. A car body like this does not need to consider strength and rigidity as it runs by receiving direct propulsion force. Furthermore, the gate-shaped frame of the automatic traveling body serves as a guard against falling while driving on rough roads, ensuring safety. In addition, there are other advantages such as the ability to remove the vehicle body and allow the autonomous vehicle to travel independently.
