Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle camouflage net technology, specifically an automatic camouflage net erection device for military vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In military operations, the concealment of military vehicles is crucial, directly impacting their survivability and the effectiveness of mission execution. Camouflage netting is a commonly used tool to enhance the concealment of military vehicles, effectively reducing their probability of detection in various environments.
[0003] However, traditional methods of setting up camouflage nets for military vehicles have many drawbacks. On the one hand, manually setting up camouflage nets is cumbersome and slow, making it difficult to meet the need for rapid concealment in emergency operations or rapid relocation, potentially exposing military vehicles to enemy fire during the setup process and increasing operational risks. On the other hand, some existing automatic setup devices are complex in structure, have low reliability, and are prone to malfunctions, affecting the normal setup of the camouflage nets. Furthermore, they are not convenient to store and occupy a large amount of space, hindering the flexible deployment and use of military vehicles in limited spaces. Therefore, developing an automatic camouflage net setting device for military vehicles that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and allows for rapid and reliable setup and storage is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an automatic device for erecting camouflage nets for military vehicles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic camouflage net erection device for military vehicles, comprising an installation box mounted on the roof of a military vehicle, and a camouflage net body mounted on the installation box via an erection mechanism. The installation box has a cuboid structure, and storage slots are provided on all four sides of the installation box. The erection mechanism includes four movable rods located one-to-one with the openings of the four storage slots, and an erection component set inside the installation box and synchronously controlling the four movable rods to move away from the installation box. The camouflage net body has a rectangular structure, and its center is fixedly installed at the top center of the installation box. Four movable rods are fixedly connected to the four sides of the camouflage net body.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes two rotating rods, one end of which is rotatably connected and installed at the middle position of the bottom wall of the storage tank; two adjacent linkage rods, one end of which is rotatably connected and installed at the middle position of the moving rod; and a control component set in the mounting box to control the rotation of the two rotating rods to move closer to or further away from each other. The ends of the two linkage rods away from the moving rod are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the two rotating rods away from the storage tank.
[0007] Preferably, the ends of the two rotating rods are respectively provided with two first connecting gears that mesh with each other; the ends of the two linkage rods are respectively provided with two third connecting gears that mesh with each other; and the rotating connecting ends of the rotating rod and the linkage rod are respectively provided with two second connecting gears that mesh with each other.
[0008] Preferably, the two rotating rods, the two linkage rods, and the side of the rotating connection end of the rotating rods and the linkage rods are rotatably connected by a limiting rod.
[0009] Preferably, the control component includes a linkage gear installed in a control slot in the mounting box via a control structure, a control gear meshing with one of the first connecting gears, a fixed gear fixedly disposed on the top end face of the control gear, and a first transmission rod disposed in the control slot with first transmission gears installed at both ends, wherein the two first transmission gears mesh with the linkage gear and the fixed gear respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the control structure includes a drive gear mounted above the linkage gear via a connecting rod, a second transmission gear located on the drive gear and meshing with the drive gear, a control column rotatably passing through a control hole on the side of the mounting box, and a rotating rod passing through the mounting box and connected at both ends to the control column and the second transmission gear respectively.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. Through a unique erection mechanism design, the four moving poles are simultaneously controlled by the erection components to move away from the mounting box, enabling rapid deployment of the camouflage net. When relocation or concealment is required, the moving poles can be quickly retracted into the storage slot by reversing the control mechanism, completing the camouflage net storage. This significantly shortens the erection and storage time, meeting the requirements for rapid concealment and relocation in military operations.
[0013] 2. The erection mechanism mainly consists of simple components such as moving rods, rotating rods, linkage rods, and control components. Transmission is achieved between these components through gear meshing and rotational connections, resulting in a compact and rationally designed structure. This simple structure not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the device but also improves its reliability, reduces the probability of malfunctions, and ensures stable operation in various harsh military environments.
[0014] 3. The mounting box has a rectangular structure with storage slots on all four sides. The camouflage net itself can be completely stored in the storage slots when not in use, and the moving rod is also stored in the opening of the storage slot, without occupying additional space. This design makes full use of the space on the roof of the military vehicle, ensuring that the device can be properly erected and stored without interfering with other equipment and operations of the military vehicle, thus improving the overall space utilization of the military vehicle.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the embodiments without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] Example 1: Reference Figures 1-3 The device shown is an automatic camouflage net erection device for military vehicles, including an installation box 1 installed on the roof of a military vehicle and a camouflage net body installed on the installation box 1 via an erection mechanism. The installation box 1 has a cuboid structure and storage slots 2 are provided on all four sides of the installation box 1. The erection mechanism includes four movable rods 3 that are located one-to-one with the openings of the four storage slots 2, and an erection component set inside the installation box 1 and synchronously controlling the four movable rods 3 to move away from the installation box 1. The camouflage net body has a rectangular structure and is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the installation box 1. The four sides of the camouflage net body are respectively fixedly connected to the four movable rods 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, the mounting box 1 is installed in the middle of the roof of the military vehicle. When camouflage netting is needed, the erection assembly controls the four movable rods 3 to move away from each other, causing the camouflage netting body to move away from each other on all four sides, quickly laying it above the military vehicle and providing a fast and effective means of concealment. In military operations, by automatically erecting camouflage netting, the appearance of the military vehicle can be altered, allowing it to better blend into the surrounding environment and reducing the probability of being detected by enemy reconnaissance equipment (such as optical reconnaissance, infrared reconnaissance, etc.), thereby improving the survivability of the military vehicle and ensuring the smooth conduct of military missions.
[0023] It is understandable that the control lever 3 can be moved away from the mounting box 1 in various ways. This embodiment provides the following solution:
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting assembly includes two rotating rods 4, one end of which is rotatably connected and installed at the middle position of the bottom wall of the storage tank 2; two adjacent linkage rods 5, one end of which is rotatably connected and installed at the middle position of the moving rod 3; and a control component set in the mounting box 1 to control the rotation of the two rotating rods 4 to move closer to or further away from each other. The ends of the two linkage rods 5 away from the moving rod 3 are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the two rotating rods 4 away from the storage tank 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, when the four moving rods 3 are moved away from the mounting box 1, the two rotating rods 4 connected by rotation are controlled to move closer to each other. At this time, the ends of the two linkage rods 5 at the other end of the two rotating rods 4 are driven to move closer to each other, that is, the moving rods 3 located at the opening of the storage tank 2 are pushed to move away from the storage tank 2. This makes it easier to move the four sides of the camouflage net body away from each other, thereby making it easier to control the camouflage net to be quickly laid on top of the military vehicle and improving the laying efficiency of the camouflage net body.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the ends of the two rotating rods 4 are respectively provided with two first connecting gears 15 that mesh with each other; the ends of the two linkage rods 5 are respectively provided with two third connecting gears 17 that mesh with each other; the rotating connecting ends of the rotating rods 4 and the linkage rods 5 are respectively provided with two second connecting gears 16 that mesh with each other.
[0027] In this embodiment, the meshing connection of two first connecting gears 15 ensures that the two rotating rods 4 can rotate stably towards or away from each other. The rotating rods 4 are meshed with the linkage rods 5 through two second connecting gears 16, and the two linkage rods 5 are meshed with the linkage rods 5 through two third connecting gears 17. This facilitates the control of the two rotating rods 4 to rotate towards each other, thereby driving the two linkage rods 5 to move towards each other. This pushes the four moving rods 3 from the opening of the storage tank 2 in a direction away from the mounting box 1, thus facilitating the stable laying of the camouflage net body on the four sides above the military vehicle through the four moving rods 3.
[0028] The camouflage net body is stored in storage slot 2 on each of its four sides, which makes it easy to store the camouflage net body.
[0029] The two rotating rods 4, the two linkage rods 5, and the side of the rotating connection end of the rotating rods 4 and the linkage rods 5 are rotatably connected by the limiting rod 18.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the control components include a linkage gear 9 installed in the control slot of the mounting box 1 via a control structure, a control gear 13 meshing with one of the first connecting gears 15, a fixed gear 14 fixedly disposed on the top end face of the control gear 13, and a first transmission rod 8 disposed in the control slot and having first transmission gears 12 installed at both ends respectively. The two first transmission gears 12 mesh with the linkage gear 9 and the fixed gear 14 respectively.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the control structure includes a drive gear 10 mounted above the linkage gear 9 via a connecting rod 11, a second transmission gear located on and meshing with the drive gear 10, a control column 7 rotatably passing through a control hole 6 on the side of the mounting box 1, and a rotating rod passing through the mounting box 1 and connected at both ends to the control column 7 and the second transmission gear respectively.
[0032] In this embodiment, the operator rotates the control post 7 inside the control hole 6 on the side of the mounting box 1. The control post 7 drives the second transmission gear to rotate via the rotating rod 4. Since the second transmission gear meshes with the drive gear 10, and the drive gear 10 is mounted above the linkage gear 9 via the connecting rod 11, the rotation of the second transmission gear will drive the drive gear 10 to rotate, thereby driving the linkage gear 9 to rotate within the control slot. After the linkage gear 9 rotates, it will drive a first transmission gear 12 meshing with it to rotate. This first transmission gear 12 is mounted at one end of the first transmission rod 8, which is located within the control slot. Therefore, the rotation of the first transmission gear 12 will cause the first transmission rod 8 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the first transmission rod 8 will drive another first transmission gear 12 mounted at its other end to rotate. This first transmission gear 12 meshes with the fixed gear 14, which is fixedly mounted on the top end face of the control gear 13. Therefore, the rotation of the other first transmission gear 12 will drive the fixed gear 14 to rotate, thereby causing the control gear 13 to rotate as well. The control gear 13 meshes with one of the first connecting gears 15, and the rotation of the control gear 13 drives the first connecting gear 15 to rotate. Since the ends of the two rotating rods 4 are respectively provided with two meshing first connecting gears 15, according to the gear meshing transmission principle, the rotation of one first connecting gear 15 will drive the other first connecting gear 15 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the two rotating rods 4 to rotate away from each other. The middle of the two linkage rods 5 is rotatably connected to the moving rod 3. The ends of the linkage rods 5 away from the moving rod 3 are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the two rotating rods 4 away from the storage tank 2. The rotatably connected ends of the rotating rods 4 and linkage rods 5 are respectively provided with two meshing second connecting gears 16, and the ends of the two linkage rods 5 are respectively provided with two meshing third connecting gears 17. When the two rotating rods 4 rotate away from each other, the meshing transmission of the second connecting gears 16 and the third connecting gears 17 will drive the two linkage rods 5 to move, causing the linkage rods 5 to push the moving rod 3 away from the mounting box 1 and outward. Four movable rods 3 are positioned one-to-one with the openings of the four storage slots 2, and the four sides of the camouflage net body are fixedly connected to the four movable rods 3. As the movable rods 3 move outward away from the mounting box 1, the camouflage net body is gradually unfolded, covering the military vehicle and realizing the erection of the camouflage net.
