Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a soft traction device for the air supply pipe of an armored vehicle, belonging to the field of vehicle technology. Background Technology
[0002] Riot control armored vehicles, as special-purpose vehicles, are widely used in high-risk scenarios such as military conflicts, maintaining public order, escorting VIPs, and peacekeeping operations. Their core value lies in providing effective protection for the occupants against threats such as explosives and small arms fire, making them crucial mobile equipment for ensuring personnel safety.
[0003] However, in practical applications, whether in intense combat environments or performing mobile transport missions on complex and rugged roads, riot control armored vehicles face extremely high mechanical and electrical loads. This continuous high-load condition easily leads to sudden failures in critical components such as the power system, transmission system, and running gear. Once a failure occurs, it will trigger a series of serious problems:
