DEVICE FOR SNOWFALL CAPTURE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A01B13/16 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises a vehicle with wedge-shaped mouldboards mounted in front. The trailed frame is made in the form of transverse beams connected to the hitch tongue. The device also comprises skis, the adjusting mechanism of ski and frame position in height. The mouldboards of the trailed frame are kinematically connected to the skis and the adjusting mechanism of ski and frame position in height. The mouldboards are mounted with the ability arranged to gauge the soil surface across the width of the device and are interconnected in pairs to form at least two ridgers with the output windows and forming chambers. The front part of each pair of the mouldboards is connected to the main crossbar via hinges with horizontal longitudinal axes. Part of the mouldboards connected to the forming chamber of each pair of mouldboards is pivotally connected to each other with the ability to move the forming chambers of the mouldboards in height. The edges of the lower edges cutting snow of each pair of the mouldboards, mounted on the sections of the additional beam, form the input windows.

EFFECT: constructive implementation enables to enhance the technological capabilities of the device due to reducing the tractive resistance, increasing performance and reliability while simultaneous improving the quality of snowfall capture by creation of snow banks of specified height.
