MACHINE FOR COMBATING FOREST GROUND FIRES WITH SOIL Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A62C3/02 A62C27/00 E02F5/00 

FIELD: forest firefighting engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to extinguish forest ground fires with soil and create fire-prevention mineralized strips. Machine for combating ground forest fires with soil contains a frame with upper and lower hinged devices, spherical disks mounted on telescopic racks, which are successively placed one into the other and fragments of pipes of different diameters connected by bolted fasteners allowing you to change the depth of spherical disks, soil-throwing mechanism driven by a hydraulic motor through a drive disk, support wheels made with the possibility of adjusting the height of their installation using an adjusting screw to change the depth of the working parts of the machine, a protective cover, a soil pipeline. The soil-throwing mechanism consists of a soil-throwing disk, a central flange and replaceable blades for throwing soil, while holes are made in the central flange for installing replaceable blades, and holes in the soil-throwing disk for adjusting the angle of installation of replaceable blades depending on the moisture content and type of soil. At the same time, the soil-throwing mechanism is set to a lower depth compared to spherical disks, which allows it to throw only loose soil particles without affecting its unloosened layer.

EFFECT: increase of efficiency of preventive work aimed at preventing forest ground fires, as well as actively extinguishing edges of a forest ground fire with a mineralized layer of soil.
