Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hovercraft technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional hovercraft that is easy to disassemble, store, and pack, and a method for disassembling the same. Background Technology

[0002] A hovercraft is a high-speed vessel that utilizes the surface effect principle, relying on air at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure to form an air cushion between the hull and a supporting surface (water or land), allowing the hull to move completely or partially detached from the supporting surface. Hovercraft have very low drag, enabling them to reach speeds of up to [insert speed here]. They are mostly used as high-speed passenger ships, transport boats, cargo ships and ferries, and are especially suitable for use in inland rivers with rapids, dangerous shoals and marshes.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have found that most existing hovercraft are large in size and are assembled from various components using a large number of bolts. Therefore, when they need to be transported, people usually pack them as a whole or spend a lot of time disassembling the bolts and disassembling and packing the individual components. The whole process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, which brings a lot of inconvenience to transport. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have studied and improved the existing structure to provide a multi-functional hovercraft that is easy to disassemble, store, and pack, as well as its disassembly method, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-functional hovercraft that is easy to disassemble, store, and pack, as well as a disassembly method thereof. It can use a first quick-release locking rod, a second quick-release locking rod, and a third quick-release locking rod to quickly disassemble large components such as the wind tunnel frame, propulsion mechanism, and orientation control components into several smaller components. Compared with the traditional method of fixing with a large number of bolts, this method of disassembly is more convenient, making it easier to carry and transport.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A multi-functional hovercraft that is easy to disassemble, store, and pack includes a hull, a cockpit is provided inside the hull, a driver's seat is fixedly installed in the cockpit, a power base is fixedly installed at the stern of the hull, a wind duct frame is provided on the top of the power base, a propulsion mechanism is provided inside the wind duct frame, an air intake duct is fixedly installed on the wind duct frame, and an orientation control component is provided on the top of the air intake duct.

[0009] The air duct frame includes four arc-shaped frames, which are connected end to end in a ring shape, and adjacent arc-shaped frames are fixedly connected end to end by two first quick-release locking rods.

[0010] The propulsion mechanism includes a cross-shaped fixing frame. A propulsion fan is fixedly installed on one side of the cross-shaped fixing frame by a plurality of second quick-release locking rods. The ends of the cross-shaped fixing frame are all fixedly connected to the corresponding arc-shaped frame by a third quick-release locking rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the driver's seat includes two linear slide rails fixed to the floor of the driver's cabin. A movable frame is slidably connected to the top of the linear slide rails, and a seat is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame. Storage boxes are fixedly installed on both sides of the seat.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the linear slide rail extends into the power base and is fixedly connected to two vertical connecting rods, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the lowest arc-shaped frame by a combination of bolts and nuts.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the two storage boxes is rotatably connected to a power support at one end near the power base, and the output ends of the two power supports are rotatably connected to one side of the arc-shaped frame located on both sides.

[0014] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly connected to one side of the air duct frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the orientation control component includes a crossbeam fixed to the inner side of the uppermost arc-shaped frame and a drive mechanism fixedly installed on the air intake duct. The crossbeam and the air intake duct are rotatably connected by two air rudders via a rotating shaft. The top and bottom of the two air rudders near the propulsion fan are rotatably connected to a transverse connecting rod via a rotating shaft, and the lower transverse connecting rod is connected to the drive mechanism via a transmission connection.

[0016] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor fixedly installed inside the air intake duct. The output shaft of the drive motor extends to the top of the air intake duct and is connected to an eccentric shaft via a coupling. The top of the eccentric shaft is rotatably connected to a transverse connecting rod located below via a bearing.

[0017] Furthermore, an air cushion apron is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hull, and a front visor is fixedly installed at the bow of the hull.

[0018] A method for disassembling a multi-functional hovercraft that is easy to disassemble, store, and pack includes the following steps:

[0019] S1: Remove the protective cover from the air duct frame;

[0020] S2: Loosen the third quick-release lever to remove the cross bracket and the propulsion fan fixed on the cross bracket from the air duct frame. Then loosen the second quick-release lever to separate the cross bracket from the propulsion fan.

[0021] S3: Loosen the bolt and nut combination between the vertical connecting rod and the bottom arc frame, as well as the two connected power supports. Then the arc frame can be removed from the power base as a whole. At this time, loosen the first quick-release locking rod so that the four arc frames can be disassembled into small parts.

[0022] S4: Remove the two air rudders from the transverse connecting rod, and then separate the transverse connecting rod from the drive mechanism;

[0023] S5: Remove the seat, along with the moving frame and storage box, from the linear guide rail. Then, pull out the pin connecting the end of the power support to the storage box to separate the power support from the storage box.

[0024] S6: Collect the disassembled parts and pack them in an orderly manner.
