Description
DESCRIPTION Flotation system for marine vehicles on any water surface or marshes OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The invention, as stated in the title of this descriptive document, consists of a flotation system for watercraft. It is an innovation that, within current techniques, offers advantages previously unknown. TECHNICAL SECTOR The present invention falls within the sector of diverse industrial techniques and transport, especially in ships or other floating vessels and their equipment, in the classification of launching, beaching, or dry-docking of ships, sea rescue, equipment for remaining or working underwater, means of locating or recovering submerged objects. Similarly, it falls under the section on the use of inflatable or non-inflatable floats in the form of a wheel or not, external to the vessel or an object added to it. It also falls within the scope of vehicles or vessels towed by the vessel or ship being built. STATE OF THE ART The present invention arises due to oil spills and their catastrophic effects on the environment, which have captured the attention of many people, and other maritime disasters that claim human lives. These devastating events have highlighted the need to improve flotation systems to reduce their impact, both for current vessels and newly designed ships. Consequently, this invention provides a flotation system for marine vehicles on any water surface or marshes that allows users to reduce friction on the water, speed up navigation, decrease energy expenditure, increase buoyancy, and prevent maritime accidents. Furthermore, this invention surpasses the keel, the hydrofoil, the hovercraft. Currently, there is no known existence of any flotation system for maritime vehicles on any water surface or marshes that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is the creation of a flotation system for maritime vehicles or aquatic surfaces or marshes, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description. The present invention relates to a flotation system for maritime vehicles or water surfaces or marshes, which comprises a set of wheels and a flotation sphere that improves the flotation of small maritime vehicles or large vessels, with the purpose of improving their efficiency and sustainability, reducing operating costs and environmental impacts and preventing maritime accidents. This innovation significantly improves the efficiency and sustainability of these vehicles, resulting in reduced operating costs and environmental impact. Furthermore, the proposed flotation system optimizes navigation in rivers, canals, inland lakes, and areas between islands and peninsulas, facilitating safer and more effective navigation that could even save lives. This system is beneficial because, by including a set of wheels designed for different functions, such as guidance, breaking, flotation, traction, and a flotation sphere, it improves the stability and maneuverability of vessels, thus contributing to better movement in aquatic environments, in swampy environments, or when events such as oil spills or other substances and objects or damage to people occur. The flotation system for marine vehicles is characterized by having a set of wheels of suitable size and proportional to the marine vehicle where they are to be installed, either together or individually. Likewise, it improves the buoyancy of any towed vehicle attached to the ship or vessel pulling it. This system includes several types of wheels: a guide wheel, a breaker wheel, a flotation wheel, a traction wheel, and a flotation sphere resistant to friction and navigation forces. The guide wheel includes, among other elements: guide, tire reinforcements or other material, rim and safety tube. In addition, it incorporates materials such as steel or materials that are stronger than steel and lighter than it. The breaker wheel includes, among other elements: a slightly curved and bent keel, keel reinforcement, a thin and resistant wheel, reinforcements with steel or new materials, and a reinforced rim and wheel safety chamber. The flotation wheel includes, among other elements: safety chamber, steel or other new material reinforcements, rim, peripheral reinforcement and external reinforcement. The drive wheel includes, among other elements: a fin with the ability to extend and fold as required, external reinforcement on the sides and around the circumference of the wheel, a rim and a safety tube. The curved-surface floating wheel, along with other elements, incorporates several key components to enhance its strength. These include a curved, semicircular or semicircular arc-shaped running surface, an external reinforcement, and a circumferential reinforcement designed to increase and strengthen its durability. This combination of features contributes to the wheel's ability to withstand demanding conditions and deliver optimal performance. Conveniently, the wheel assembly offers the flexibility to operate with various flotation curves and safety chambers to enhance both its strength and safety. This approach is particularly relevant when considering point applications to the drive wheel, and is especially beneficial for very wide or cylindrical structures or wheels. This adaptability and adjustability contribute significantly to the overall ability of the wheel system to operate in diverse environments and conditions. Furthermore, both the idler and drive wheels are designed to adapt to a curved, half-circle navigation surface to enhance their stability. This feature provides greater robustness and durability to these specific wheels, making them suitable for applications requiring a high level of strength and performance. Additionally, the wheel assembly includes a flotation sphere made of materials resistant to friction and all the forces of navigation, said sphere being lubricated by means of a set of injectors. The function of the flotation system in watercraft or marine vessels, both in current and newly designed boats, involves the inclusion of specific components. These components include flotation wheels, propellers, rudders, water tillers, folding breaker wheels, platforms, turbojets or turboprops, breakers or wave breakers, drive wheels, suspension systems, towed transport hubs or tanks, and other trailers or internal combustion chimneys. Furthermore, it is noted that large vessels must include a flotation platform consisting of a baffle system, flotation wheels, a platform, and a suspension system. For land vehicles, a kit is available comprising a mechanical or hydraulic system and a hitch that attaches to the vehicle's wheel, allowing for different tire gripping configurations. It is important to note that the flotation system can be made from a wide variety of materials, depending on the purpose and function of the vessel, as well as the environment in which it will be used. These materials range from tires to special plastics, materials lighter than steel, and materials stronger than steel. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the guide wheels, breaker wheels, flotation wheels, traction wheels, and flotation sphere can be mounted in a mixed manner, acquiring characteristics and properties from one another when circumstances so advise. To operate the flotation system for marine vehicles or water surfaces or marshes, the assembly of wheels and flotation sphere must be installed on the marine vehicle, in the appropriate position to maximize its specific function, ensuring that the size and proportion are suitable for the type of vessel and the size of the ship. In this way, this system allows for improved buoyancy and maneuverability of maritime vehicles, optimizing their performance and reducing operating costs and environmental impacts.

With this preferred embodiment, the wheels increase in size as the ship grows, as seen in a newly designed ship in both side view (11) and plan view (12), both of which show larger drive wheels (1) and guide wheels (2) while maintaining the correct system. Thus, for gigantic ships, the wheels will be gigantic. In another preferred embodiment, the flotation system for marine vehicles or any water surface or marshland is characterized by enabling the flotation system to function on watercraft (13), both on an existing vessel in profile view and in forward and / or aft view, regardless of its size and intended use.

For a 4x4 or off-road vehicle, all types of drive wheels are acceptable, as well as the use of additional wheels with combined drive and steering. In another preferred embodiment based on the flotation sphere as the main means of support (23) a newly designed ship (23.4) is presented which, both in profile and plan view, shows solar panels (23.1), turbojet or turboprops (23.2) as a substitute, and flotation spheres (23.3) and tail rudder (23.5).

In another preferred embodiment, the flotation system can be made of any type or class of material suitable for its construction or manufacture, with the most appropriate material selected in each case depending on the vessel's purpose or function and the environment in which it will operate. These materials range from tires and special plastics to any new material lighter and stronger than steel, without excluding any type of steel or similar current materials. Furthermore, the guide wheels, breaker wheels, flotation wheels, drive wheels, and flotation sphere can be mounted in a mixed configuration, acquiring the characteristics and / or properties of one another when circumstances so require. Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
