ENGINE TRACK VEHICLE ON BASE TANK CHASSIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F41H7/00 E02F5/32 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: the bearing-rotary device in the engineer track vehicle is installed in the nose section of the chassis on the side of the tower of and positioned in the armored hull, it is fastened in cantilever in the tower and made in the form of a low-profile straight cylinder with a bottom shaped as a ball segment. An opening is made in the segment on the side of the tower for disposition of the drive of the bearing platform. The upper part of the portal is cylinder-shaped and provided with a boom rotation mechanism. An ogee is made on the retractable section of the boom, at the end of the projecting part positioned are ears with an axle installed on which are the excavator dipper and the tooth-ripper positioned under the excavator dipper for provision of separate or joint operation by formation of a gripping working member. The wall of the retractable section positioned on the opposite side of the ogee is additionally provided with a cargo-catching hook hanger for applying hoist slings to the cargo. Brackets are made on the lateral walls of the retractable section, fastened in whose ears are two short-range hydraulic cylinders linked with the tooth-ripper through a leverage with formation of a drive for turning and fixing the shaped cutouts for arrangement of the hydraulic cylinders of the tooth-ripper drive at a shift of the boom from the operating to traveling position are made in the lateral walls of the boom bearing section on the side of the retractable section.

EFFECT: expanded functional potentialities of the vehicle, enhanced protection of the bearing-rotary device.
