GO BACK TO THE AREA OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTY MACHINERYInvention entitled ‘Device for moving tool modules within the load bed of a tracked trailer for biomass transport’ (Pat.234441/P.418752)
Description:
The invention includes a device for moving tool modules within the load bed of a tracked trailer for biomass transport. The module is attached to the trailer of a tracked biomass transport vehicle, which is used to carry out conservation operations, most often to periodically mow grasses and reeds and remove unwanted vegetation from wetlands.
The main part of the device is a manually movable mini-crane, which consists of a girder supported by wheels on the top beam of the side wall, with a special bracket at the end of the top beam for attaching the pivot of the rear wall, with the girder being at the same time a compressed air reservoir for the actuators, which on one side are attached by clamps to the girder, and on the other side are terminated by hooks for the tool holders of the modules or the support frame of the shredder module supported by legs on the longitudinal side of the load bed; in addition, on the tank there are quick connector sockets for the compressor of the main tarcked vehicle and quick connector sockets for the control valve and pneumatic actuator lines.
The device for moving tool modules within the load bed of a tracked trailer according to the invention eliminates such inconveniences as the inability to unload tool modules in unpaved terrain, the lack of need for the tracked set to move on paved roads, and the lack of excessive wear on the tracked vehicle’s grousers.
Benefits:
- possibility of unloading tool modules in difficult terrain,
- the tracked vehicle does not have to operate on paved roads,
- slower wear of track grousers.
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent Pat.234441 granted by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, in force from 19 September 2016.
Property rights to the invention are vested 100% in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology.
