PLANT TO DETERMINE CHARACTERISTICS OF PROFILE OF DEFORMED SUPPORT SURFACES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E01C23/07 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: plant to determine characteristics of a profile of deformed support surfaces relates to the field of research of geometric characteristics of profile irregularities of deformed support surfaces, preferably soils under natural conditions that vary their dimensions when interacting with propulsive agents of wheeled mobile machines. One of ends of each of longitudinal levers is hingedly fixed to a transverse frame equipped with support wheels. On free ends of longitudinal levers there are accessories installed in the form of wheels for supporting motion complying with the surface profile. Longitudinal levers are hingedly fixed to the frame at distances from each other corresponding to a transverse pitch of surface profile measurement. At the ends of the transverse frame there are measurement accessories arranged in the form of receivers of a global navigation system. Wheels of accessories to provide for motion complying with the surface profile are arranged as detachable and capable of displacement. On longitudinal levers above detachable wheels there are elements of fixation and replaceable weights to create a normal load at detachable wheels. A transverse frame is additionally equipped with sensors of a turn angle for each longitudinal lever relative to it.

EFFECT: considerably higher accuracy of measurement of support surface profile characteristics, reduced labour intensiveness of manufacturing and operation of a device.
