AGRICULTURAL MODULE AND AGRICULTURAL BRIDGE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01B49/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: agricultural module contains a supporting frame on the bearing driveless self-aligning wheels, a source of electrical power and a reverse traction electric winch. The frame is designed to work with various hinged agrotechnological equipment. The winch is located in the center of the supporting frame along its longitudinal axis and is connected to the appropriate anchors. The anchors are installed on opposite sides of the field with a step equal to the width of the supporting frame capture. The anchors are connected to the supporting frame by means of the rope entwined around a winch drum with not less than two turns with the ability of frontal shuttle movement of the supporting frame along the conditional center line passing through the corresponding pair of anchors installed in the field and a transverse axis of the supporting frame. At the ends of the rope entwined around a winch drum the mechanical or hydraulic jacks with a manual transmission are fixed. The jacks provide securing of the rope with anchors by putting on eyelets of the jacks on the anchors and then the tension of the rope to move the supporting frame, regardless of soil properties in the rewinding of the rope by the winch drum. To ensure the stability of the course of the frontal translational movement of the supporting frame on the frame at the section of its transverse axis two guiding hawse holes are mounted, through which a tightrope passes. The agricultural bridge contains at least one active agricultural module made as described above and the passive agricultural modules without winches. Passive agricultural modules are made with the ability of their hinge joint with eyelets of active agricultural modules to move together with them. The number and spacing of the anchors on the field correspond to the spacing, the number and location of active agricultural modules.

EFFECT: constructive implementation will enable to improve the efficiency of resource and energy consumption and to stabilise movement of an agricultural module and an agricultural bridge.
