TIDAL FLAT TRAVELING MACHINE, AND AERATING MACHINE ATTACHED THERETO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle capable of freely traveling on a sand such as a tidal flat, a reclaimed land, etc., and a super-soft muddy ground, having sufficient thrust, capable of improving the soil by aerating the soil, and having the propulsion capacity which is also applied to various kinds of works such as carriage of persons and cargoes. SOLUTION: A tidal flat traveling machine is driven by a simple mechanism in which the angle is formed on a tip part of blades of outer wheels, and a ring is fitted to the outer circumference. The weight of the entire machine is reduced thereby to allow the machine to freely travel on a super-soft soil such as a tidal flat. The propulsion force is sufficient to be adaptable to any changes of hardness/softness of the soil. The soil is aerated without any weight increase by the synergistic effect of the negative pressure at an inlet of an aerator generated by the speed due to the motion and a turbocharger for using the exhaust pressure of a motor. The tidal flat traveling machine can be used for various kinds of works, and the aerator is attached thereto. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
