Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of inflatable multifunctional equipment, specifically relating to a multifunctional inflatable tent boat suitable for amphibious use. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional inflatable boats are mainly based on a single air chamber buoyancy structure, which can only provide floating function on the water surface. They lack a land-based shelter structure and need to be used with a tent, which causes the center of gravity to shift and makes them prone to capsizing.

[0003] Most existing inflatable tents use horizontal support poles and PE canvas structures, relying on ground pegs for fixation. For example, hexagonal inflatable tents, with their air column layout, cannot form a hull structure, requiring additional floats in water. Modular tent boats attempt to combine the tent with the hull, for example, by bolting or strapping, but this has the following problems: the inflation system uses a single valve for centralized control, leading to mixed inflation of the hull and tent frames, increasing the risk of misoperation; the connection structure relies on single-point fixation, resulting in insufficient wind resistance; and functional components are separate (such as the paddle and ground pegs, which need to be carried separately), resulting in poor portability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-functional inflatable tent boat suitable for amphibious use, breaking the limitations of traditional inflatable tents and boats being used as independent devices, and enabling the tent boat to have the advantages of multi-scenario application, including water navigation, land shelter, and quick storage.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a multi-functional inflatable tent boat suitable for amphibious use, including a hull assembly and an inflatable keel. The hull assembly includes an inflatable base and airbags arranged around and connected to the inflatable base. The inflatable keel includes multiple arched air columns, a top beam, and bottom side beams. The bottom side beams are detachably connected to the inflatable base. The bottom side beams include straight beam sections distributed on both sides of the inflatable base and curved sections that converge at the front end. The straight beam sections are provided with paddle buckles for fixing the pull ropes and multi-functional paddles. The front end of the top beam connects to the intersection of the curved sections and is connected to the arch tops of the multiple arched air columns. The multiple arched air columns form a continuous support frame, and the interval areas are covered with a tent cloth. Folded curtains are provided between the front end and middle of the top beam and the corresponding arched air columns, and a semi-circular tail curtain is provided at the rear arched air columns.

[0007] Furthermore, the archway air column is equipped with four inflatable arches, namely a first inflatable arch, a second inflatable arch, a third inflatable arch, and a fourth inflatable arch, arranged sequentially from front to back. The spaces between the first and second inflatable arches, and between the third and fourth inflatable arches, are covered with tarpaulins. The front end of the top beam is equipped with front-folding curtains on both sides corresponding to the first inflatable arch, and the middle part of the top beam is equipped with middle-folding curtains on both sides corresponding to the second and third inflatable arches. The fourth inflatable arch is equipped with a semi-circular tail curtain that is joined together by fan-shaped curtains on the left and right sides.

[0008] Furthermore, polyester tape with adhesive tape is connected between the bottom ends of the two sides of the second, third, and fourth inflatable arches, and an adhesive strip is provided on the inflatable base pad to adhere to the adhesive tape.

[0009] Furthermore, the front end of the inflatable base pad is provided with an inflatable pillow bag, which is connected to the bottom ends of both sides of the first inflatable arch and the curved section.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper part of the front folding curtain and the middle folding curtain are attached to the front end and the middle part of the top beam by Velcro, and the lower inner and outer sides are respectively provided with zippers and Velcro that are fixedly connected to the bottom side beam. The fan-shaped curtain is connected to the fourth inflatable column by Velcro, and the left and right fan-shaped curtains are joined together to form a semi-circle by Velcro.

[0011] Furthermore, the airbag adopts a multi-layer structure, with a one-way breathable membrane between each layer of airbag. A first air valve and a second air valve are provided on both sides of the airbag located behind the inflatable base pad. The first air valve and the second air valve correspond to the uppermost layer of the airbag. A third air valve is provided at the rear end of the top beam, and a fourth air valve is provided at the intersection of the curved sections.

[0012] Furthermore, the inflatable base pad is connected to the bottom side beam via a zipper and Velcro, with the zipper located below the bottom side beam and the Velcro located at the contact end between the bottom side beam and the inflatable base pad.

[0013] Furthermore, the paddle buckle is provided with two Velcro fasteners distributed on both sides of the straight beam section, including a semi-circular tenon and the ends of the closed semi-circular tenon. The pull rope is hung on the semi-circular tenon, and the multi-functional paddle is fixed to the semi-circular tenon by the Velcro fastener. The pull rope is wrapped around the multi-functional paddle.

[0014] Furthermore, the multi-functional paddle includes a shovel head, a ground nail, and an air pump. The ground nail is located between the shovel head and the air pump. The ground nail includes a spiked end that inserts into the soil layer, and the other end of the ground nail opposite the spiked end has a through hole for connection to a pulling rope.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This utility model achieves amphibious functionality through a modular inflatable structure. The inflatable base and airbags form a stable buoyancy base, which, together with the detachable bottom and side beams, top beam, and arched air columns, greatly improves portability and quick assembly efficiency. The continuous support of the arched air columns, combined with the canopy covering, balances structural strength and lightweight design. The folding curtain and semi-circular tail curtain allow for flexible adjustment of the tent opening and closing to adapt to different environmental needs. The paddle buckle assembly on the straight beam section can fix the paddle and tow rope to ensure navigation stability. The linkage design of the curved section and the top beam optimizes the mechanical distribution, breaking the limitations of using traditional inflatable tents and inflatable boats as independent equipment. This allows the tent boat to have the advantages of multi-scenario application, including water navigation, land shelter, and quick storage.

[0017] This invention enhances the connection stability between the inflatable arch and the inflatable base by using a polyester tape with adhesive strips and an adhesive strip on the inflatable base to bond with the tape, thereby improving the overall stability of the tent boat. The multi-layered airbag design prevents the bottom from being torn and sinking. The multi-functional paddle design allows it to be used not only as a paddle but also as a shovel, tent pegs, and air pump, greatly improving the functionality and practicality of the tent boat and meeting the needs for various tools in different environments.
