Description

The invention relates to the field of small shipbuilding and can be used in the design and method of operation of an inflatable boat.

The term “floor” refers to a removable floor for installation on the bottom of an inflatable boat.

Payol (slan, flooring) is used to give the hull of an inflatable boat longitudinal and transverse rigidity and the formation of stable support under the feet of a passenger. Most floorboards are collapsible from sections mounted across the boat's axis of symmetry. The floor sections are made of plywood, aluminum alloy or polymeric material. A payol is clamped between the bottom of the boat and the inflated sides, (see: Korolev A.N., Zhokhov V.P. Inflatable boats. L .: Shipbuilding, 1989, pp. 83-84).

From the description of patent RU 136413 U1, IPC B63V 7/08, publ. 01/10/2014, the design of an inflatable boat is known, including a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, longitudinal stringers and a collapsible floor consisting of a bow, center and aft sections equipped with connecting profiles for detachable connection. Various connecting profiles for joining sections of the collapsible floor of the boat, including those described in patent RU 136413 U1, are produced by CONTINENT-AL LLC (RU), see the official website at: http: //www.continent-al. com /.

The boat, the design of which is given in the description of patent RU 136413 U1, can be disassembled only in the following manner, which is dictated by the peculiarity of its design.

Blow off the sides of the boat. In this case, the sections of the floor are released from the clamp on the side of the sides. Then they take out the sections of the floor and fold the hull of the boat.

Note that longitudinal stringers are not a mandatory part of the design of inflatable boats. In particular, from the description of patent RU 155210 U1, IPC B63B 7/08, publ. 09/27/2015, the design of an inflatable boat is known, including a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, and a collapsible floor.

From the description of the patent RU 2247054, IPC BV 7/08, publ. 02/27/2005, the design of an inflatable boat is known, including a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, longitudinal stringers and a collapsible floor consisting of a bow, center and aft sections, detachably connected by sections of the profile.

The patent RU 2247054 also describes a method for disassembling a boat, in which air is drained from the sides, stringers are removed, then the central section of the flooring is removed, and then the bow and stern sections, the sides of the boat are laid on the bottom, after which the boat is rolled up into a length. starting from the stern.

The technical problem that is inherent in the known designs of inflatable boats is the inability to extract the bow and center sections of the floor from the inflatable boat if the sides of the boat are inflated.

Due to the presence of this problem, the complexity of servicing the boat increases, namely washing the outer and inner surfaces of the bottom after using the boat in a pond.

Before taking the boat ashore for transport by land or storing it from the outer and inner surfaces of the bottom, as well as the floor sections, it is necessary to wash off sand, dirt, silt, algae, and other debris. To perform this operation, the floor sections must be removed from the boat before washing the boat.

If you blow off the sides of the boat to extract the floor, as provided for in the instructions for inflatable boats, after removing the floor boards, you will have to inflate again, since it is extremely inconvenient to wash the boat with deflated sides.

The aforementioned technical problem also causes the user to execute a rigidly specified assembly or disassembly order of the inflatable boat. An inexperienced user, for example, may forget to insert the floor sections before pumping the sides of the boat. To install the floor sections, the user will have to blow off the sides again.

For the closest analogue of the claimed inflatable boat adopted design, known from the description of the above patent RU 2247054. The design of the inflatable boat includes a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, and a collapsible floor consisting of bow, center and stern sections, equipped connecting profiles for detachable connection.

The disadvantage of the design of the closest analogue is the impossibility of extracting the bow and center sections of the floor from the boat or installing them in a boat with inflated sides.

The closest analogue of the proposed disassembly method is the method described in the description of the aforementioned patent RU 2247054, in which air is blown out of the inflatable sides, the floor sections are removed, and then the elastic material of the boat is folded.

The technical results to which the invention is directed are in the possibility of removing the floor without blowing off the sides of the inflatable boat and improving the convenience of servicing the boat.

The above technical results are achieved in the design of the inflatable boat, which includes a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, and a collapsible floor consisting of bow, center and stern sections equipped with connecting profiles for detachable connection.

The indicated technical results are achieved in that the central section is made of trapezoidal segments in terms of shape. In this case, the segments of the central section can be equipped with connecting profiles for detachable connection between themselves. The central section may consist of several tiers, with each tier being made of trapezoidal segments in terms of shape. The feed sections in this case are preferably made in the form of strips having a smaller width than the width of the segment of the central section.

The execution of the segments of the central section of the trapezoidal floor in terms of shape makes it easy to remove sections of the floor from an inflatable boat, even if the sides of the boat are fully inflated.

In FIG. 1, 2, an embodiment of the design of an inflatable boat is shown, in which the central section of the floorboard consists of two tiers, each of which, in turn, is composed of two trapezoidal segments in terms of shape. For specialists it is clear that the central section of the floor may include one or several tiers, and the number of trapezoidal segments in the tier can also be different, for example, the tier can be composed of two, three, four, etc. trapezoidal segments.

Due to changes in the design of the boat, it becomes possible to remove the floor without blowing off the sides and wash the hull of the inflatable boat after using it in a pond. It also becomes possible to install a floor on the bottom of the boat with the sides fully inflated.

The above new features make it possible to make maintenance of an inflatable boat less time-consuming and more convenient.

These technical results are also achieved in the method of disassembling an inflatable boat, which includes a hull of elastic material with inflatable sides connected by an elastic bottom, and a collapsible floor consisting of a bow, center and aft sections, made of segments in which air is drained from the inflatable sides dismantle the flooring and fold up the elastic material of the boat.

The indicated technical results are achieved in the method of disassembling the inflatable boat by first dismantling the payol, removing the feed sections from the bottom, then removing them from the wedging state and removing the segments of the central section and, lastly, the bow section, then letting the air out of the sides and folding elastic boat material. In this case, after removing the payola, the hull surfaces of the boat can be washed without letting air out of the sides.

The invention is illustrated by the following images. In FIG. 1 shows an inflatable boat assembly with payol; In FIG. 2 shows sections of flooring.

With reference to FIG. 1-2 are indicated:

1 - nose section payola;

2 - the central section of the floor;

3 - feed section of the floor;

4 - connecting profile;

5 - longitudinal stringer;

6 - longitudinal stringer;

7 - hole for the air valve of the boat kilson;

8 - segment of the central section of the floor;

9 - segment of the central section of the floor;

10 - inflatable side of the boat;

11 - recess under the stringer.

The invention can be successfully implemented in the design of an inflatable boat with payol, which includes a bow section 1, a central section 2 and aft sections 3, equipped with connecting profiles 4.

To implement the inventions carry out the following changes in the design of the boat.

The central section of the floor 2 is made of a composite of segments 8 trapezoidal in terms of shape, which are joined together at an acute angle to the axis of symmetry of the bottom.

In a preferred embodiment, the segments 8 are provided with connecting profiles 4 for detachable connection with each other. In segments 8 of the central section 2, recesses can be made for the longitudinal stringers of the boat.

Longitudinal stringers 5, 6 can be made, for example, of aluminum alloy or a polymeric material.

Segments 8 can be made, for example, of waterproof multilayer plywood, a polymeric material or an aluminum alloy.

The connecting profiles can be made, for example, of aluminum alloy or a polymeric material.

A variant of the implementation of connecting profiles that are joined by the protrusion-groove principle is described in patent RU 136413 U1, which does not exclude the use of connecting profiles of a different kind.

Connecting profiles are permanently attached to the edges of the segments, for example, using adhesive bonding or rivets.

If the inflatable boat has a considerable length, the central section of the floor can be composed of several tiers; each tier is made of trapezoidal segments in terms of shape that are joined together at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the bottom of the inflatable boat.

The feed sections 3 are made in the form of strips having a smaller width than the width of the segment of the central section, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the floor.

The feed sections 3 may be provided with means for facilitating their removal from the boat, for example, recesses for engagement with the fingers.

The feed sections can be connected to each other and to the central section by stringers 6, as shown in FIG. one.

When assembling an inflatable boat, floorboards are installed on the elastic bottom of the boat, regardless of whether the sides of the boat are inflated, lowered or lowered completely, as follows.

The bow section 1 is pushed into the bow of the bottom of the boat.

Then set one of the segments 8 (tier) of the Central section.

The next segment 8 of the Central section is retracted along the line of the dock, located at an acute angle to the axis of symmetry of the bottom. When segment 8 is fully retracted, the segments (tiers) of the central section are wedged between the longitudinal stringers, which, in turn, abut against the sides of the boat.

After installing the first tier of the central section 2, segments 9 of the next tier of the central section 2 are installed.

Then install the feed section 3, made in the form of strips, which during installation wedge the segments of the Central section and tighten the bow section.

Removing the flooring is carried out in the reverse order, regardless of whether the sides of the boat are inflated, lowered or lowered completely. The feed sections of the floor are removed.

Pull one of the segments 9 (tier) of the central section 2, removing segments 9 from the wedging.

As soon as the segment 9 moves in the direction of the stern, due to the trapezoidal shape of the segments 9, the force required to extract the segment decreases sharply.

Delete all segments (tiers) of the central section 2.

Lastly, the bow section of the floor is removed from the boat.

It should be noted that on some boats, the bow section of the floor is also composite, which does not change the essence of the claimed technical solutions.

Dismantling an inflatable boat in accordance with the claimed method is as follows.

The floor is disassembled, removing the stern sections sequentially from the bottom of the boat, then the segments of the central section and, lastly, the bow section.

If necessary, wash the hull of the inflatable boat and payola sections in the pond.

Then they pull the boat to the shore of the reservoir, bleed air from the sides and fold the elastic material of the boat and the floor section.

An inflatable boat is used in a manner known in the art.

Conducted patent research confirmed the world novelty and the presence of inventive step of inventions.

Tests of a prototype of an inflatable boat confirmed the industrial applicability of the inventions and their compliance with the claimed technical results.
