DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF THE DEPTH OF THE ROAD RUT FOR ASSESSING CROSS-COUNTRY CAPABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G01C7/04 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device for automatic measurement of the depth of the road rut for assessing the cross-country capabilities of construction equipment is characterized by the fact that it contains three rods, each having a track roller resting under its own weight on the ground on one side and rods attached to encoders placed motionless on the beam fastened by means of fastening with the axis of the rear axle of the machine, on the other side. The right and the left rods have the ability to mutually deviate relative to the middle rod during movement of the machine, and the encoders have the ability to determine the amount of mutual deviation of the rods, while the encoders are connected via electrical wires to the interface module of the electronic computer.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of measurement, increased reliability of the design of the device while ensuring automation of the process of measuring the depth of the rut in rough terrain for subsequent passage of the construction equipment, significant reduction in the time required to overcome the obstacles.
