AI Technical Summary
Existing hovercraft lack stability when traveling on water, making them prone to capsizing or tilting. The inflation method increases the difficulty of use and limits their application range.
The ducted fan with a triangular structure generates a gas pressure difference, which, combined with the Arduino Nano control board and remote control, enables the hovercraft to float and move forward stably, making it suitable for use on land and water.
Hovercrafts can float and move stably on both land and water. They are highly automated, have a simple structure, and can be assembled by children themselves, reducing costs.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0033] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0034] In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] like Figs. 1-3 The image shows a hovercraft, including a support plate 5, a power module mounted on the support plate 5 for floating, a first air propulsion assembly located at the stern of the support plate 5 for forward movement of the hovercraft, and a rudder 6 located behind the first air propulsion assembly for changing the direction of the hovercraft.
[0037] The power module includes an Arduino Nano control board 1, a second air propulsion component electrically connected to the Arduino Nano control board 1, and a power supply component;
[0038] The second air propulsion assembly comprises a first ducted fan 2 and a second ducted fan 3 arranged side by side on both sides of the Arduino Nano control panel 1, a first motor electrically connected with the first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3, and a motor drive module electrically connected with the first motor and the Arduino Nano control panel 1, wherein the first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3 are arranged in a manner that air is sucked from the top and discharged downward.
[0039] The power module further comprises a remote controller 4 signal-connected with the Arduino Nano control panel 1.
[0040] The power supply assembly comprises a battery for supplying power to the first motor and a power adapter for supplying power to the Arduino Nano control panel 1. For example, the battery for supplying power to the motor can be a lithium battery, and the Arduino Nano control panel 1 can be connected to a computer or an external power supply such as a power adapter for power supply.
[0041] In the technical solution, the Arduino Nano control panel 1 is a conventional control panel, which comprises a remote controller signal receiving module such as an infrared receiving head, and the data output pin of the infrared receiving head is connected to a digital input pin of the Arduino Nano control panel 1. When the infrared receiving head receives the signal emitted by the remote controller 4, it will generate a corresponding electrical signal on the pin.
[0042] The first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3 can be connected to the digital output pin of the Arduino Nano control panel 1 through the control pin of the motor drive module such as L298N. The motor drive module can receive signals from the Arduino Nano control panel 1 and control the start and stop of the motor.
[0043] When the remote control opens the first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3, the first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3 suck air from the top and discharge it downward, so that a space with a relatively high pressure state is formed between the air cushion boat and the ground, like an air cushion, so that the air cushion boat can float on the ground or water surface. When the air cushion boat is on land, the relatively high pressure state between the air cushion boat and the land can lift the air cushion boat upward, assisting the air cushion boat to float and move stably. When the air cushion boat is on the water surface, the relatively high pressure state between the air cushion boat and the water surface can prevent the air cushion boat from sinking, so that it can easily float and move. The air cushion boat uses the third ducted fan 8 at the tail as its power to move forward, and changes its left and right turning directions through the rudder 6.
[0044] In addition,
[0045] In the embodiment, the power module is fixed on the support plate 5 by screws.
[0046] In the embodiment, the first air propulsion assembly is a third ducted fan 7, and a second motor electrically connected with the third ducted fan 7.
[0047] In the embodiment, the third ducted fan 7 forms a triangular structure with the first ducted fan 2 and the second ducted fan 3.
[0048] In the embodiment, the bottom of the support plate 5 is provided with a foam pad 8 to improve the buoyancy of the air cushion vehicle.
[0049] In the embodiment, the rudder 6 is fish tail-shaped.
[0050] In the embodiment, the support plate 5 is provided with several streamlined plates 9 for reducing air resistance, and the streamlined plates 9 are provided with arcs consistent with the moving direction.
[0051] In the embodiment, the streamlined plates 9 are respectively arranged at the front, left side and right side of the support plate.
[0052] The above description of the embodiments is for facilitating the ordinary skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to the embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative labor. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and the improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art according to the disclosure of the utility model without departing from the scope of the utility model should be within the protection scope of the utility model.
