Description

The invention relates to the field of underwater transport.

Known underwater vehicle containing a sealed enclosure with a fairing, propulsion, located in the housing of the control system and life support [1]. Such tools include, for example, submarines, aquamobiles. The latter are equipped with wheels [2].

The objective of the invention is the expansion of the functions of submarines.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the underwater vehicle containing a sealed housing with a fairing and wheels, a propulsion device located in the housing of the control and life support system, is equipped with a suspension system on the cableway of the cableway. The mover is located on the side of the housing. The fairing is equipped with a lock for connecting the cable of the traction mechanism.

Figure 1 shows an underwater vehicle, a side view, figure 2 is a view along A in figure 1, figure 3 shows the suspension system of the underwater vehicle on the rope.

The underwater vehicle contains a sealed cylindrical body 1 with a cowl 2 and wheels 3. In the body are life support systems, including ventilation, lighting, etc., and vehicle control (not shown). Wheels may be driven. The case has a hatch (door) 4 for input (output) of passengers and goods. On top of the casing is attached a suspension system 5 to the cable A of the cableway (not shown). The suspension system, including blocks a, a constant length of the cable b, idle and drive d rollers, is designed to hold the underwater vehicle in a horizontal position. The fairing has glazed viewing windows 6. The fairing can be equipped with a lock 7 for attaching a cable B of the traction mechanism (not shown) of the cableway or similar vehicle (with the formation of the composition of underwater vehicles). For reciprocating movement of the underwater vehicle over long distances, it can be equipped with propulsion devices 8 located on the side of the hull. The mover, made, for example, in the form of a propeller having the ability to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, is rigidly connected to the housing.

An underwater vehicle is used as follows. At a coastal station (not shown), an underwater vehicle, having in the building 1 systems - control and life support, receives through the hatch (door) 4 passengers and cargo. Then the vehicle, using the wheels 3 attached to the casing, is transferred to the aquatic environment (lakes, rivers, seas), for example, by means of a traction mechanism (not shown), which is part of the cableway with cable A. In this case, the underwater vehicle freezes on a rope, relying on blocks a of the suspension system 5. When the cable is tilted, the suspension system provides the body with a horizontal position due to the rotation (rotation) of the drive roller d clockwise or counterclockwise. In this case, the cable b having a constant length bends around the idler roller c. The movement of the vehicle in the aquatic environment can be carried out using the cable traction mechanism (not shown) of the cableway connected to the fairing 2 by the lock 7. The movement of the vehicle in the aquatic environment can also be carried out by the propellers 8. The movement of the vehicle can be observed through the viewing windows 6.

An underwater vehicle can be used as an “underwater shuttle” (in case of placing one support of the cableway on one side of the water area and another support on the other side of the water area) or “underwater funicular” (in case of placing one support of the cableway on the shore of the water area , and another support at the bottom of the water area).

This embodiment of the underwater vehicle expands its functions.
