Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an external water guiding device for tracked vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, tracked vehicles are mainly used in land-based operations, but they also possess some fording capabilities, allowing them to cross some smaller rivers or lakes. Due to their size limitations, they cannot be equipped with a water propulsion system, and when traveling on water, they can only move forward by paddling with their tracks. Because of the track installation method, the water generated by paddling is ejected along the tangent of the track's arc; that is, water at the front of the vehicle is ejected forward, increasing drag; water at the rear is ejected diagonally upward, reducing thrust; and water also ejects from the sides of the tracks, further reducing thrust. These factors combined result in slow speeds for vehicles traveling on water. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an external water guiding device for tracked vehicles that is simple in structure and easy to install.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: an external water guiding device for tracked vehicles, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body, including a wing plate assembly, an upper wing plate, a sealing plate, and a water guiding grid. The wing plate assembly is located outside the track of the vehicle body and is hung on both sides of the vehicle body by hinges. The wing plate assembly and the lower side deck of the vehicle body form a water channel. The upper wing plate is installed at the front of the wing plate assembly corresponding to the inclined surface of the vehicle body. The sealing plate is installed at the front end of the wing plate assembly corresponding to the front of the vehicle body. The water guiding grid is installed at the rear end of the wing plate assembly corresponding to the rear of the vehicle body.

[0005] The aforementioned external water guide device for tracked vehicles is described above, wherein the wing plate assembly is composed of multiple wing plates spliced ​​together.

[0006] The aforementioned external water guide device for tracked vehicles has a support plate installed at the joint between two adjacent wing plates. The support plate and the pressure plate work together to fix the lower end of the wing plate.

[0007] The aforementioned external water guiding device for tracked vehicles has a pointed structure on the front water-facing surface of the sealing plate and an arc shape on the rear of the sealing plate to guide the water flow downward.

[0008] The aforementioned external water guiding device for tracked vehicles has a water guiding grid structure, in which each blade of the grid structure is arc-shaped, guiding the water flow at the rear to spray outwards.

[0009] The aforementioned tracked vehicle has an external water guide device, with foot pedals for passengers to step on the first wing plate near the front of the vehicle.

[0010] The aforementioned tracked vehicle has an external water guide device with a support welded to the rear of the vehicle to reinforce the water guide grid.

[0011] The external water guide device for the tracked vehicle mentioned above, including the upper wing plate, sealing plate, water guide grid, support plate, and pressure plate, is made of aluminum alloy.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model can be easily installed on both sides of a tracked vehicle, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It does not require much modification to the whole vehicle and is suitable for tracked vehicles that need to float across inland waters. When traveling on water, it can reduce driving resistance and effectively increase thrust, thereby increasing the speed of tracked vehicles on water.

[0014] 2. The wing assembly of this utility model is made of high-strength carbon fiber, which can reduce weight while ensuring performance; the other parts are made of aluminum alloy, which reduces product cost.

[0015] 3. The shape of this utility model is optimized according to the shape of the vehicle body, making the overall appearance of the vehicle more technological; the water guiding device can form a water channel, reduce the water flow resistance at the front of the vehicle, gather the water flow in the middle, effectively improve the water flow thrust at the rear, and increase the vehicle's water speed.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an external water guide device for a tracked vehicle is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 10. It includes a wing plate assembly 1, an upper wing plate 2, a sealing plate 3, and a water guide grid 4. The wing plate assembly 1 is located outside the tracks of the vehicle body 10 and is hung on both sides of the vehicle body 10 by hinges 6. The wing plate assembly 1 and the lower side deck of the vehicle body form a water channel. The upper wing plate 2 is installed at the front of the wing plate assembly 1 at the position corresponding to the inclined surface of the vehicle body 10. The sealing plate 3 is installed at the front end of the wing plate assembly 1 at the position corresponding to the front of the vehicle. The water guide grid 4 is installed at the rear end of the wing plate assembly 1 at the position corresponding to the rear of the vehicle.

[0022] For weight reduction and cost considerations, the wing assembly 1 is made of high-strength carbon fiber and adopts a segmented design. The wing assembly 1 on one side is made up of 4 wing panels spliced ​​together, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement. The support plate 5 is installed at the joint of two adjacent wing panels. The support plate 5 and the pressure plate 7 work together to fix the lower end of the wing panel and ensure the overall stability of the wing assembly 11. The first wing panel near the front of the vehicle is equipped with a foot pedal 9 for passengers to step on.

[0023] The size of the upper wing plate 2 can be designed according to the shape of the vehicle body 10, providing a mounting point for the hinge 6, ensuring that the waterway formed after the wing plate assembly 1 is mounted remains straight, and improving the effective thrust.

[0024] The front of the sealing plate 3 has a pointed structure to reduce water resistance and enhance the sense of technology and aesthetics; the rear of the sealing plate 3 has an arc shape to guide the water flow downward, increase the lift of the front of the vehicle, and reduce driving resistance.

[0025] The water deflector 4 is a grid structure, with each blade of the grid structure being arc-shaped to guide the tail water flow backward. When the water flows through the water deflector 4, the special design of the blades accelerates the water flow a second time, increasing thrust and thus increasing the sailing speed.

[0026] The support 8 is welded to the rear of the vehicle to reinforce the water guide grille 4. The upper wing plate 2, sealing plate 3, water guide grille 4, support plate 5, and pressure plate 7 are all made of aluminum alloy, which reduces product costs.
