Description

The invention relates to a means of transporting cars with passengers by water and can be used as an alternative to a yacht or boat, lovers of water tourism, workers of farms and agricultural areas remote from the city.

A vehicle is known for transporting a car (RF Patent No. 2159722, publ. 2000), which contains a displacement planing body, a thruster made in the form of a propeller located in the aft and steering elements of the device. In this case, the mover is kinematically connected with the paired driven support rollers for the wheels of the drive axle of the vehicle, and the steering elements of the device are kinematically connected with the steering of the vehicle through its front wheels.

A known vehicle contains a large number of gears in the form of support rollers, gearboxes, shafts and gears, moreover, located on the deck of the hull, which is made in the form of a ski boat.

A large number of transmission moments of a mechanical drive entails a loss of power and contributes to an increase in the number of possible malfunctions. The design of the known device is too cumbersome for ground transportation, because significantly exceeds the dimensions of the transported car.

The objective of the present invention is the creation of the design of the ferry for transporting a car with a driver, with a driver and a passenger, with increased reliability in operation and more comfortable to use.

To solve the problem, the steam for the car, controlled by its driver, contains a displacement planing body, a mover made in the form of a propeller located in the aft part, and steering elements of the ferry, while the mover is made with the possibility of kinematic communication with the driveshaft of the transported car, and steering elements - with the possibility of kinematic communication with the steering of the transported car, the ferry case is made in the form of a bath with a ridge located along its axis etrii, propeller mounted on the shaft end, the second end of which is adapted to connect directly to the driveshaft carried by the vehicle.

To connect the propeller to the propeller shaft of the transported vehicle, the second end of the propeller shaft is made in the form of a flange corresponding to the flange-plug of the propeller shaft of the car.

To transmit the ferry movement from the steering wheel of the car, the steering elements of the ferry are clamps in the form of clamps, which are connected to the steering wheel of the cable through a system of cables, blocks and talreps.

To reduce the resistance to sliding rotation of the front wheels of the car, ball disks are mounted under them on the bottom of the body.

To ensure the safety of the ferry, pontoons are attached to its side sides, which can be used as a walking deck, and the driver can easily leave the transported car.

The essence of the invention lies in a new embodiment of the propulsion device - a propeller mounted on a shaft, on the second end of which it is possible to install a cardan shaft of a transported car, previously removed from the rear axle of a car mounted on steam. As a result, the propeller shaft of the car remains connected to its engine, and thus the propeller shaft of the propeller is connected to the engine of the car, which drives the propeller. The execution of the ferry hull in the form of a bath with a bottom under the wheels of the car is optimal for such a rearrangement of the driveshaft, because the car is installed below the water level without any additional devices, and the propeller is immersed in water.

A new technical result achieved by the invention is the lack of multiple transmission mechanisms, which increases the reliability of the design of the ferry.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 depicts the claimed steam in axonometric projection; in FIG. 2 - the claimed steam, top view (conventionally highlighted in the color of the wheels of the car); in FIG. 3 - the same, a section along AA of the ferry hull with the contour of the transported car; figure 4 - connection diagram of the propeller of the ferry with an automobile propeller shaft, removed from the rear axle.

The steam contains a sealed housing 1 with removable wheels 2. The housing 1 is made in the form of a bath with a crest 3 in the middle, forming a bottom 4 in the bath under the wheels of the car. The most optimal ferry hull size will be the size corresponding to the size of the transported car.

The ferry has a propulsion device in the form of a propeller 5 mounted on the shaft, one of the ends of which 6 is located in the bath and is made in the form of a flange 7 corresponding to the flange-fork of the propeller shaft of the car.

On the bottom of the ferry 4 mounted ball disks 8 under the front wheels of the car and clamps 9 are provided, made in the form of clamps mounted on the front wheels. Clips 9 using cables 10 and hoists 11 through blocks 12 are connected to the steering wheel 13 of the ferry. Talrepa 11 are designed to pull the cable. In addition, holes for mounting pontoons are made on the upper part of the ferry hull.

Ferry, like a car trailer, delivered to the shore, uncoupled and rolled into the water. The chassis is raised to a horizontal position, along the sides of the hull pontoons are fastened to holes 14 (not shown in the drawings, and if inflatable pontoons are inflated). The gangways are installed, along which the car enters the deck of the ferry and is mounted with wheels on the bottom of the 4 bathtubs. A vehicle installed in this way naturally falls below the water level without any additional devices, and the propeller is under water.

Through special hatches (not shown), the driveshaft 16 is removed from the rear axle 15 of the vehicle and mounted on the end 6 of the propeller shaft. Clamps 9 are put on the front wheels of the car, and thus the ferry control system is brought into operation. The gangways are removed and installed on the sides of the ferry over the pontoons. The ferry, driven by the driver of the car, is ready to move on water.
