MULTIPURPOSE TRANSPORT-TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B62D37/04 B60W30/02 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transport-technological means, namely, to amphibious cross-country vehicles capable of overcoming routes on weakly bearing support surfaces, including loose snow, sections with thin, broken ice or open water. Multipurpose transport-technological platform with shifted center of gravity carrying payload contains propulsor and platform body in the form of catamaran. Platform propulsor that contacts the support surface is connected to the platform body by three movable steering elements supporting and unfolding the propulsor relative to the longitudinal axis of the platform body and/or moving the propulsor to the specified value along the platform body axis. Transport-process platform hull contains additional support movable controlled element of its design of specified shape and size, position of which relative to housing and propulsor is installed by platform operator depending on mode of its operation. Movable element is not in contact with support surface during normal operation of transport-process platform and for a short time, for a given time, or is constantly in contact with the support surface during overcoming difficult sections of the route or in the towing mode of the transport-process platform, located between the propulsor and the track reference surface, to ensure good sliding.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of this type of transport-process means.
