METHOD FOR INCREASED IN COMBAT VEHICLE CROSS-COUNTRY CAPACITY AND COMBAT VEHICLE PROPULSOR

摘要

FIELD: transport.;SUBSTANCE: thrust surface of pontoons of walking propulsor is shaped to hemisphere. Said hemispherical surface has lengthwise rows of sealed recesses. Hollow rollers are fitted in said recesses on crosswise axles. Said axles with rollers in lengthwise rows of one of said side pontoons are decelerated simultaneously at walking propulsor turn in preset direction. Lengthwise motion of propulsor on weak road surface is effected at alternate translation of one half of pontoon thrust surface relative to other half at braking of the rollers of thrust surface of the other half. Said hollow rollers are equipped with crosswise grousers. Central and side pontoon sections are coupled by lengthwise guides and power cylinders of their relative translation in guides. Rollers extend below thrust hemispherical surface of pontoons with mechanism of their simultaneous deceleration in lengthwise rows along each of three pontoons.;EFFECT: better flotation of weal soils and meadow peat.;2 cl, 5 dwg
