The present invention is an amphibious all-terrain vehicle. This amphibious all-terrain vehicle includes a boat-shaped hull and a continuous track system that is configured to provide propulsion at multiple speeds while in water. The amphibious all-terrain vehicle includes a drive train, a suspension system having one or more tracks, an operator's station, and one or more handle bars as a steering system.

Disclosed herein is a detachable cab apparatus for an amphibious vehicle. The detachable cab comprises an enclosure to house the operator, an independent flotation system and a detachment apparatus configured for detachment of the cab from the amphibious vehicle. Additional safety features to avoid injury, or sustain life, of the operator in the detached cab are also provided.

The propulsion unit including a casing having an inner curved surface and an outer curved surface, at least one tire disposed within the casing within a duct defined by the inner curved surface and the outer curved surface, a first propeller and a second propeller having a plurality of blades extending from within the casing toward a center axis of the casing, and one or more motors housed within the casing, the one or motor being configured to operate the at least one tire, the first propeller, and the second propeller independently of one another. There is also provided a vehicle with one or more propulsion units of the present disclosure.

The amphibious unmanned patrol vehicle includes a buoy, a waterproof cable and a submersible amphibious vehicle. An end of the waterproof cable is connected to a first controller of the buoy; and another end thereof is connected to a second controller of the submersible amphibious vehicle. A bottom end of the buoy is connected to a top end of the submersible amphibious vehicle which is configured to realize movement and operation of a whole system. The waterproof cable is configured to connect the submersible amphibious vehicle, and the buoy configured to ensure real-time communication between the submersible amphibious vehicle and an external environment during operation of the submersible amphibious vehicle. A height difference between an upper surface and a lower surface of the automatic reeling and unreeling cable device is equal to a thickness of the waterproof cable. The length of the waterproof cable is adjusted automatically in real time.

The invention relates to an aircraft for takeoff and landing on water or on land. The aircraft comprises a fuselage and a spring-mounted landing gear. Landing gear wheels are mountable on the landing gear for takeoff and landing on land. Furthermore, the aircraft comprises a floating device coupleable to the landing gear of the aircraft via a connecting device. The floating device is configured such that the hydrostatic lifting force of the floating device is greater than the maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft.

A special suspension-type tracked underwater robot adaptable to ultra-soft geological conditions comprises traveling mechanisms, wherein the traveling mechanisms are track-mud sled structures, the mud sled structures are fixedly arranged on two sides of each track, and the bottoms of the mud sled structures are higher than the bottoms of the tracks and are provided with arched plate heads; the arched plate heads are provided with plate water-jet devices capable of spraying water forwards; and in the traveling process of the traveling mechanisms, and the arched plate heads press water downwards to form a water film at the bottoms of the mud sled structures together with the water sprayed by the plate water-jet devices, so that the traveling mud resistance is reduced, and the robot can stably advance under ultra-soft geological conditions. The special suspension-type tracked underwater robot further comprises a propelling mechanism, an adjustment device, an operating module, and the like, can autonomously advance on a seabed, can suspend in water, can repair itself when broken, and can achieve detailed operations.

An unmanned vehicle capable of tunneling into soft materials, such as sand, comprises a hollow, bullet-shaped forward outer body with a first drive screw thread integrated into its exterior, a hollow cylindrical rear outer body with a second drive screw thread integrated into its exterior but threaded in the opposed direction of the first drive screw thread, and an inner body that is rotatably coupled to the inside of the forward and rear outer bodies via mechanical gears, and including directional control fins mounted on a housing at the rear end of the inner body.

Various embodiments of an amphibious submersible vehicle for use in non-destructive testing of pipe interiors and walls are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the vehicle is operable for amphibious submersible operation such that pipes of various diameters can be inspected under full, partially full, and dry conditions. In another aspect, the vehicle is equipped with a plurality of propellers for travel when fully or partially submerged in water and a plurality of wheels for traveling when in contact with a pipe wall or for traveling over debris. In some embodiments, the vehicle is equipped with a plurality of sensors configured for imaging and navigation which enable the vehicle for pipe inspection and identification of problem areas.

A floating moving device includes a first rotation unit, a second rotation unit, a third rotation unit, a fourth rotation unit, and a fifth rotation unit. A fourth adjustment unit adjusts a direction of a fourth impeller such that a rotation axis of the fourth impeller is parallel to at least an up-down direction at a takeoff time. A fifth adjustment unit adjusts a direction of a fifth impeller such that a rotation axis of the fifth impeller is parallel to the up-down direction at the takeoff time. A first adjustment unit adjusts a position of a first wheel such that the first wheel comes into contact with the ground until the takeoff is performed. A second adjustment unit adjusts a position of a second wheel such that the second wheel comes into contact with the ground until the takeoff is performed.
