Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inflatable boats, and in particular to an inflatable boat and a method for using the inflatable boat based on a foldable inflatable boat with multiple air chambers. Background Art

[0002] Inflatable boats are inflatable boats, which are widely used in water leisure, entertainment, fishing, fishing and other water operations. They are light and multifunctional. Compared with traditional boats, inflatable boats are safer and can adapt to a variety of waters. The floor of the foldable inflatable boat in the prior art is made of soft material but is not rigid enough. When the inflatable boat is running at high speed, it will vibrate up and down and bump. In addition, people walking on the soft floor will be shaky and unstable, which is easy to cause danger. However, if the soft material floor is replaced with a whole piece of rigid material, the inflatable boat will lose its folding function, which is not conducive to the transportation and storage of the inflatable boat.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215794336U discloses a foldable bottom plate structure for an inflatable boat and an inflatable boat, including an airbag, a power group is arranged at the rear end of the airbag, a plurality of first bottom plates are installed between the inner sides of the airbag, a plurality of second bottom plates are installed between the inner sides of the airbag, a soft rubber strip is fixedly connected to the right end of the first bottom plate, a first limiting groove is arranged at the left end of the second bottom plate, a first limiting block is slidably connected inside the first limiting groove, a second limiting groove is arranged inside the right side of the first bottom plate, a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the second limiting groove, the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the second limiting block, the other end of the second limiting block is fixedly connected to the connecting block, and a third limiting groove is arranged at the right end of the connecting block. In the utility model, the function of folding the bottom plate is retained while ensuring the stability of the bottom plate, which is conducive to the transportation and storage of the inflatable boat.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned inflatable boat can be folded and remain stable, the user needs to manually assemble the bottom plate before each use of the inflatable boat. This step not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also prolongs the preparation time. Similarly, during the storage process, the user needs to disassemble the assembled bottom plate before further folding the boat body. This repeated assembly and disassembly process undoubtedly reduces the efficiency of the use of the inflatable boat and increases the user's operating burden.

[0018] S3. After confirming that the foldable motorboat is fully inflated and stable, put it into use. According to the carrying capacity of the boat, reasonably arrange the distribution of personnel or cargo to ensure that the boat remains balanced and stable during the carrying process.

[0019] S4. When the foldable motorboat needs to be stored, first open the airflow port of the foldable airbag compartment to allow the internal air to be discharged. Then, start the pull-out and folding mechanism, and through the fixed connection between its contraction end and the folding support plate, pull the folding support plate to slide along the supporting guide rod, thereby driving the adjacent folding airbag compartments to be compressed until all the folding airbag compartments are compressed to the specified position, forming a compact folding structure.

[0020] S5. Use binding ties to tightly bind the various parts of the folded motorboat body together to ensure its stability and compactness during storage and transportation. Finally, remove the supporting guide rod from the folding support plate to further reduce the volume and weight of the foldable motorboat for easy transportation and storage.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention significantly simplifies the storage process by introducing the design of a pull-out folding mechanism and a support guide rod. Users do not need to manually assemble and disassemble the bottom plate, but can directly operate the pull-out folding mechanism to achieve the synchronous compression and folding of the folding support plate and the folding airbag compartment. This design not only reduces the operating steps, but also reduces the requirements for user operating skills, making the storage process faster and easier. At the same time, the use of binding ties further ensures that the folded hull structure is compact and stable, which is convenient for subsequent handling and storage, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0023] 2. The present invention provides additional structural support for the inflatable boat by alternating the folding support plate and the support guide rod, which effectively enhances the stability and carrying capacity of the boat body. When the inflatable boat is in working condition, the folding support plate can ensure that the boat body remains stable on the water surface, preventing it from capsizing or tilting due to factors such as wind and waves. In addition, the interlaced installation of the support guide rod further strengthens the boat body structure, so that it can still maintain good stability and safety when dealing with emergencies or long-term use. This design provides users with more reliable and safe use guarantees.

[0024] 3. The present invention realizes the automatic folding function of the inflatable boat by introducing a pull-out and folding mechanism. The user only needs to perform simple operations to pull the folding support plate through the contraction end of the pull-out and folding mechanism, thereby driving the folding airbag compartment to compress and fold. In this process, the rapid discharge of air inside the folding airbag compartment further accelerates the folding process. Compared with the traditional manual assembly and disassembly method, automatic folding greatly improves the use efficiency and shortens the preparation and storage time. Especially in emergency or long-term use scenarios, this design can significantly reduce the user's fatigue and improve the emergency response capability and continuous use performance of the inflatable boat.

[0039] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an inflatable boat comprises a folding motorboat 1, a supporting guide rod 2, a pulling and folding mechanism 3 and a binding tie 4; the folding motorboat 1 is composed of a plurality of folding airbag compartments 11 and a plurality of folding support plates 12, the plurality of folding airbag compartments 11 and the plurality of folding support plates 12 are arranged in an interlaced manner, the plurality of folding airbag compartments 11 are connected in series, the folding airbag compartments 11 are provided with air flow openings, and the folding support plates 12 are used to separate and support the plurality of folding airbag compartments 11; a plurality of supporting guide rods 2 are provided, and are interspersed and installed on the folding support plates 12, and the supporting guide rods 2 are used to increase the stability of the folding motorboat 1; the pulling and folding mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the folding motorboat 1, the contraction end of the pulling and folding mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the folding support plate 12, and the pulling and folding mechanism 3 is used to pull and move the folding support plate 12; a plurality of binding ties 4 are provided, one end of the binding ties 4 is connected to the pulling and folding mechanism 3, and the binding ties 4 are used to bind a plurality of folding airbag compartments 11 and a plurality of folding support plates 12.

[0041] The foldable motorboat 1 is formed by splicing a plurality of foldable airbag compartments 11 and foldable support plates 12 which are alternately arranged. The foldable airbag compartments 11 are connected in series, and the foldable support plates 12 play the role of separating and supporting the airbag compartments.

[0042] In the working state, the folding airbag compartment 11 is inflated to provide buoyancy and float on the water surface. At the same time, the folding support plate 12 provides necessary structural support to ensure that the entire folding motorboat 1 can stably carry loads. The support guide rod 2 is inserted and installed on the folding support plate 12, which further enhances the stability and carrying capacity of the boat body.

[0043] When the foldable motorboat 1 needs to be stored, the user first opens the airflow port of the foldable airbag compartment 11 to allow the internal air to be discharged. Then, the pull-out folding mechanism 3 is activated. The pull-out folding mechanism 3 starts to pull the foldable support plate 12 to slide along the support guide rod 2 through the fixed connection between its contraction end and the foldable support plate 12. In this process, the movement of the foldable support plate 12 will cause the adjacent foldable airbag compartment 11 to be compressed. As the airbag compartment is compressed, the internal air will be quickly discharged through the opened airflow port.

[0044] When all the folding airbag compartments 11 are compressed to the designated position, the folding airbag compartments 11 and the folding support plate 12 form a compact folding structure. At this time, the user can use the binding tie 4 to tightly bind the folded motorboat body parts together to ensure its stability and compactness during storage and transportation.

[0045] Finally, the user removes the support guide rod 2 from the folding support plate 12 to further reduce the volume and weight of the foldable motorboat 1 for easy transportation and storage.

[0046] Through the folding design and the automated pull-out and folding mechanism 3, a quick and easy storage process is achieved, which greatly reduces the user's operating burden and improves the use efficiency.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the foldable airbag compartment 11 is a double-layer wall, the outer wall of the foldable airbag compartment 11 is provided with a pre-fold, and the outer wall of the foldable airbag compartment 11 is also provided with a support ring 111.

[0048] When the foldable airbag compartment 11 is in normal working condition, air is injected into it through an external inflation device. The inner wall of the foldable airbag compartment 11 is designed as a double-wall structure, which not only enhances the strength and durability of the airbag, but also improves its safety. The double-wall structure can prevent rapid air loss caused by damage to a single layer to a certain extent, thereby extending the buoyancy and service life of the inflatable boat. When the foldable airbag compartment 11 is fully inflated, its volume expands, providing the necessary buoyancy for the inflatable boat, so that the boat body can float stably on the water.

[0049] When the inflatable boat needs to be stored, the user will first open the airflow port of the folding airbag compartment 11 to allow the internal air to be discharged. The outer wall of the folding airbag compartment 11 is provided with pre-folds, which play a guiding role when the airbag is compressed, so that the airbag can be folded along a predetermined path. The design of the pre-fold helps to ensure the stability and consistency of the folding process, avoiding damage or volume increase caused by irregular folding.

[0050] At the same time, the outer wall of the folding airbag chamber 11 is also provided with a support ring 111. These support rings 111 play a supporting role when the airbag is inflated to prevent the airbag from over-expanding or deforming due to internal pressure. In the compression and folding process, the support ring 111 also plays a key role, cooperating with the pre-crease to ensure that the airbag can be folded in a predetermined manner and maintain stability after folding.

[0051] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the folding support plate 12 is composed of two annular compression plates 121 and a bottom plate support strip 122. The annular compression plate 121 is provided with a first interlaced mounting hole 1211, and the bottom plate support strip 122 is provided with a plurality of second interlaced mounting holes 1221. The annular compression plate 121 is also provided with an air vent 1212, and the interior of the air vent 1212 is provided with a mounting rail 1213, and the interior of the mounting rail 1213 is provided with a partition sealing member 123.

[0052] The folding support plate 12 is mainly composed of two annular compression plates 121 and a bottom plate support strip 122, which provide necessary structural support for the inflatable boat. The annular compression plate 121 is designed with a first insertion installation hole 1211. The main function of the first insertion installation hole 1211 is to provide an insertion space for the pull-out folding mechanism 3, allowing the pull-out folding mechanism 3 to be fixedly connected to the folding support plate 12 through this hole. During the storage process, the pull-out folding mechanism 3 acts on the annular compression plate 121 through the tension at the contraction end, thereby driving the folding support plate 12 to slide along the support guide rod 2 to achieve the folding action.

[0053] The bottom plate support bar 122 is provided with a plurality of second interpenetrating mounting holes 1221, and the second interpenetrating mounting holes 1221 are used to install the support guide rod 2. The support guide rod 2 not only enhances the stability of the foldable motorboat 1, but also provides a guide for the sliding of the foldable support plate 12. The combination of the bottom plate support bar 122 and the annular compression plate 121 enhances the rigidity and bearing capacity of the bottom structure, ensuring that the boat body can remain stable in the inflated state.

[0054] The annular compression plate 121 is also designed with vents 1212, which provide air circulation paths for the multiple folding airbag compartments 11. During the inflation process, air enters the folding airbag compartment 11 through the vents 1212, causing it to expand and provide buoyancy. A mounting rail 1213 is provided inside the vent 1212, and a partitioning and blocking member 123 is installed inside the mounting rail 1213. The main function of the partitioning and blocking member 123 is to control the blocking state of the vent 1212. During inflation, the partitioning and blocking member 123 opens to allow air circulation; when it is necessary to prevent the gas in the airbag from leaking, the partitioning and blocking member 123 blocks the vent 1212 to ensure the sealing of the airbag.

[0055] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the partition sealing member 123 includes a sealing block 1232 slidably mounted on the mounting rail 1213, a first threaded hole 1233 is provided on the sealing block 1232, a sealing layer is provided on the outer side of the sealing block 1232, and the partition sealing member 123 also includes an adjusting bolt 1231 rotatably mounted on the annular compression plate 121, and the adjusting bolt 1231 is connected to the first threaded hole 1233.

[0056] The blocking block 1232 is slidably installed on the mounting rail 1213, so that its position can be adjusted; the first threaded hole 1233 is arranged on the blocking block 1232, and is used to cooperate with the adjusting bolt 1231 to achieve precise control of the position of the blocking block 1232; the sealing layer is located on the outer side of the blocking block 1232, and is used to provide a reliable sealing effect when the blocking block 1232 closes the vent hole 1212; the adjusting bolt 1231 is rotatably installed on the annular compression plate 121, and is connected to the first threaded hole 1233. By rotating the adjusting bolt 1231, the blocking block 1232 can be pushed or pulled to adjust its position.

[0057] During the inflation process, the partitioning and blocking piece 123 is in an open state, allowing air to enter the folding airbag compartment 11 through the vent hole 1212. At this time, the adjusting bolt 1231 is in a proper position so that the blocking piece 1232 does not hinder the ventilation of the vent hole 1212.

[0058] When the vent hole 1212 needs to be closed to prevent the gas in the airbag from leaking, the user can turn the adjusting bolt 1231. Since the adjusting bolt 1231 is connected to the first threaded hole 1233 on the blocking block 1232, turning the adjusting bolt 1231 will push or pull the blocking block 1232 to slide along the mounting rail 1213. As the position of the blocking block 1232 is adjusted, the sealing layer on the outside thereof will gradually fit the edge of the vent hole 1212 until the vent hole 1212 is completely closed. At this time, the sealing layer provides a reliable sealing effect to prevent the gas in the airbag from leaking.

[0059] See also Figure 2 and Fig.12 As shown, the support guide rod 2 is slidably connected to the second interpenetrating mounting hole 1221 , and the support guide rod 2 is composed of a multi-section assembly rod 21 , one end of the assembly rod 21 is provided with a second threaded hole 22 , and the end of the assembly rod 21 away from the second threaded hole 22 is provided with a threaded joint 23 .

[0060] The support guide rod 2 is composed of multiple sections of assembly rods 21, each of which is provided with a second threaded hole 22 at one end and a threaded joint 23 at the other end. Through the cooperation of the threaded joint 23 with the second threaded hole 22 of the adjacent assembly rod 21, the multiple sections of assembly rods 21 can be tightly connected, thereby assembling a complete support guide rod 2.

[0061] On the folding support plate 12 of the inflatable boat, the bottom plate support bar 122 is provided with a plurality of second interpenetrating installation holes 1221, and the second interpenetrating installation holes 1221 are designed to install the support guide rod 2. When the support guide rod 2 is assembled, the support guide rod 2 is inserted into the second interpenetrating installation holes 1221 of the bottom plate support bar 122 to form a sliding connection. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the support guide rod 2, but also provides a path for it to slide along the second interpenetrating installation holes 1221.

[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the pulling and folding mechanism 3 includes a limit mounting seat 31 installed on the folding motorboat 1, a limit storage groove 32 is provided on the top of the limit mounting seat 31, a driving tool 36 is installed in the limit storage groove 32, a stable winding mechanism 33 is installed inside the limit mounting seat 31, a plurality of winding ropes 35 are installed at the winding end of the stable winding mechanism 33, the end of the winding rope 35 away from the stable winding mechanism 33 is connected to the folding support plate 12, and the winding rope 35 is slidably connected to the first interlaced mounting hole 1211.

[0063] The position limiting mounting seat 31 is fixedly mounted on the folding motorboat 1, and a position limiting storage groove 32 is designed on the top thereof for accommodating and fixing a driving tool 36. The driving tool 36 is installed in the position limiting storage groove 32, and the driving tool 36 is used to drive the stable winding mechanism 33 to operate.

[0064] The stable winding mechanism 33 is installed inside the position-limiting mounting seat 31. The stable winding mechanism 33 has a winding function and can pull the winding rope 35 through the winding action. One end of the winding rope 35 is connected to the winding end of the stable winding mechanism 33, and the other end is connected to the folding support plate 12, specifically, it is slidably connected through the first interlaced mounting hole 1211 on the folding support plate 12.

[0065] During the storage process, the user first starts the driving tool 36. The driving tool 36 works, driving the stable reeling mechanism 33 to start the reeling action. As the reeling end of the stable reeling mechanism 33 starts to rotate, the reeling rope 35 is gradually reeled. Since the other end of the reeling rope 35 is connected to the folding support plate 12, when the reeling rope 35 is pulled, the folding support plate 12 also moves. The folding support plate 12 slides along the support guide rod 2, and at the same time drives the adjacent folding airbag compartment 11 to be compressed.

[0066] Since the reeling rope 35 is slidably connected to the first insertion installation hole 1211, the reeling rope 35 can smoothly pass through the first insertion installation hole 1211 during the movement of the folding support plate 12, ensuring the smooth folding action. As the folding support plate 12 and the folding airbag compartment 11 are gradually compressed to the specified position, the entire folding motorboat 1 forms a compact folding structure.

[0067] See also Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the stable winding mechanism 33 includes a rotating shaft 331 installed on the limit mounting seat 31, and winding wheels 332 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 331. The winding wheels 332 are used to store the winding rope 35. A first bevel gear 333 is also installed on the rotating shaft 331, and a second bevel gear 334 is installed above the first bevel gear 333. The second bevel gear 334 is rotatably connected to the limit mounting seat 31, and the second bevel gear 334 is meshed with the first bevel gear 333. A driving shaft 335 is installed on the second bevel gear 334, and a docking protrusion 336 is provided on the top of the driving shaft 335. A winding anti-rotation mechanism 34 is installed on the rotating shaft 331.

[0068] The rotating shaft 331 is installed in the position-limiting mounting seat 31, and the two ends thereof are respectively provided with winding wheels 332 for winding and storing the winding rope 35. The rotating shaft 331 is also provided with a first bevel gear 333, which is meshed with a second bevel gear 334 installed above. The second bevel gear 334 is rotationally connected to the position-limiting mounting seat 31. In addition, the driving shaft 335 is connected to the second bevel gear 334, and a docking protrusion 336 is provided on the top thereof for connecting with the driving tool 36.

[0069] When starting the winding process, the user docks the driving tool 36 with the docking protrusion 336 and rotates the driving tool 36. The rotation of the driving tool 36 is transmitted to the second bevel gear 334 through the driving shaft 335, thereby driving the first bevel gear 333 meshed therewith to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 333 is further transmitted to the winding wheel 332 through the rotating shaft 331, causing the winding wheel 332 to start rotating. As the winding wheel 332 rotates, the winding rope 35 is gradually wound around the winding wheel 332, realizing the winding action.

[0070] To ensure the stability of the winding process, a winding anti-rotation mechanism 34 is also installed on the rotating shaft 331. This mechanism can effectively prevent the rotating shaft 331 from rotating in the opposite direction during the winding process, thereby ensuring that the winding rope 35 can be stably and orderly wound to avoid looseness or confusion.

[0071] See also Figures 5 to 10 As shown, the winding anti-rotation mechanism 34 includes a limiting gear 341 installed on the rotating shaft 331, a rotating contact rod 342 is provided on the side of the limiting gear 341, the rotating contact rod 342 is rotatably connected to the limiting mounting seat 31, and a latch tooth 3421 is provided on the side of the rotating contact rod 342. The winding anti-rotation mechanism 34 also includes an adjusting support seat 343 installed on the limiting mounting seat 31, a telescopic hole 3431 is provided at the axial position of the adjusting support seat 343, a high support surface 3432 and a low support surface 3433 are provided on the top of the adjusting support seat 343, a lifting and lowering adjustment hook 345 is installed on the telescopic hole 3431, a rotating joint 3451 is rotatably installed on the top of the lifting and lowering adjustment hook 345, and a limiting support rod 3452 is provided at the bottom of the rotating joint 3451.

[0072] When the rotating shaft 331 rotates, the limit gear 341 installed thereon will rotate synchronously therewith. At this time, the rotation of the limit gear 341 will produce frictional contact with the rotating contact rod 342. The rotating contact rod 342 is designed with a latching tooth 3421, which can effectively contact the tooth surface of the limit gear 341, thereby preventing the limit gear 341 from rotating in the opposite direction, ensuring that the winding action of the rotating shaft 331 and the winding wheel 332 can be carried out stably.

[0073] When it is necessary to release the limiting effect of the rotating contact rod 342 on the limiting gear 341 , the user can achieve this by operating the rotating joint 3451 .

[0074] When the user pulls the rotating joint 3451 upward, this action will drive the lifting and adjusting hook 345 connected thereto to rise synchronously. As the lifting and adjusting hook 345 rises, the rotating contact rod 342 will be lifted accordingly, thereby breaking away from the contact with the limit gear 341, thereby realizing the unlocking function. When the rotating joint 3451 rises to the specified position, the user can further rotate the rotating joint 3451 so that the limit support rod 3452 at the bottom thereof comes into conflict with the high support surface 3432 on the adjustment support seat 343. This design can ensure that the lifting and adjusting hook 345 always remains in the raised position, thereby effectively maintaining the unlocked state, which is convenient for subsequent operation or adjustment.

[0075] See also Figure 5 and Fig.11As shown, the driving tool 36 includes a lever handle 362 , on which a magnetic block 361 is also provided, and on which a docking joint 363 is provided, which matches with the docking protrusion 336 .

[0076] The driving tool 36 is mainly composed of a lever handle 362, a magnetic block 361 and a docking joint 363. The lever handle 362 is the main component for user operation, and its design facilitates the user to apply a rotational force. The magnetic block 361 is mounted on the lever handle 362, and its main function is to enhance the stability of the connection between the driving tool 36 and the limit mounting seat 31, and prevent the driving tool 36 from falling off due to vibration or external interference.

[0077] The docking joint 363 is a connecting component between the driving tool 36 and the stable winding mechanism 33, and is designed to achieve precise docking with the docking protrusion 336 on the top of the driving shaft 335. This ensures that the rotational force can be efficiently and stably transmitted from the driving tool 36 to the stable winding mechanism 33.

[0078] During operation, the user first needs to mate the docking joint 363 of the driving tool 36 with the docking protrusion 336 on the top of the driving shaft 335 .

[0079] After the docking is completed, the user applies a rotational force by operating the lever handle 362. The design of the lever handle 362 allows the user to generate a large rotational force with a small torque, thereby satisfying the driving force requirement of the stable winding mechanism 33. As the lever handle 362 rotates, the docking head 363 transmits the rotational force to the drive shaft 335, and then transmits the rotational force to the rotating shaft 331 through the meshing action of the second bevel gear 334 and the first bevel gear 333, and finally drives the winding wheel 332 to rotate.

[0080] As the reel 332 rotates, the reel rope 35 is gradually wound around the reel 332, thereby realizing the reeling action. In the whole process, the stability and reliability of the driving tool 36 are crucial to ensure the smooth reeling action. The presence of the magnetic block 361 enhances the connection stability between the driving tool 36 and the limit mounting seat 31, and the precise docking of the joint 363 ensures the efficient transmission of the rotational force.

[0081] A method for using a multi-air chamber foldable inflatable boat comprises the following steps:

[0082] S1, unfold the foldable motorboat 1 from the storage state, and install the support guide rod 2 on the folding support plate 12 through insertion.

[0083] S2. Use an inflating device to inflate the folding airbag compartment 11 until the designed buoyancy requirement is reached to ensure that the folding motorboat 1 can float stably on the water. At the same time, the folding support plate 12 provides necessary structural support to keep the boat body stable.

[0084] S3. After confirming that the foldable motorboat 1 has been fully inflated and stabilized, put it into use, and reasonably arrange the distribution of personnel or cargo according to the carrying capacity of the boat body to ensure that the boat body remains balanced and stable during the carrying process.

[0085] S4. When the foldable motorboat 1 needs to be stored, first open the air flow outlet of the foldable airbag compartment 11 to allow the internal air to be discharged. Then, start the pull-out and folding mechanism 3, and through the fixed connection between its contraction end and the folding support plate 12, pull the folding support plate 12 to slide along the supporting guide rod 2, thereby driving the adjacent folding airbag compartments 11 to be compressed until all the folding airbag compartments 11 are compressed to the specified position, forming a compact folding structure.

[0086] S5. Use the binding tie 4 to tightly bind the various parts of the folded motorboat body together to ensure its stability and compactness during storage and transportation. Finally, remove the supporting guide rod 2 from the folding support plate 12 to further reduce the volume and weight of the foldable motorboat 1 for easy transportation and storage.
