MULTIFUNCTIONAL DEVICE FOR MAINTENANCE OF TECHNICAL CONDITION OF LOW-PRESSURE EARTH DAMS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC E02B7/00 

FIELD: hydraulic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems for maintenance of technical condition of low-pressure earth dams. Multifunctional device for maintenance of technical condition of low-pressure earthen dams, including hinged-connected sections, containing antenna units located along their perimeter, auxiliary equipment consisting of movement means, a battery, a control unit and a motion sensor, has at least three hinged-connected sections, one of which is central, the other side sections, consisting of platforms for accommodation of auxiliary equipment, which are installed symmetrically in rows and are hinged to each other to ensure geometric variability of the entire structure of sections congruently to the relief of the earth dam surface. Georadar systems are used as antenna units, in each section the transfer means are made in the form of rotary castor wheels with a drive, in the number ensuring stable position of the sections, and are interconnected with the control unit. To fill cavities and decompaction in the body of a low-pressure earthen dam, detected using antenna units, drills with blowers are installed on sections, which are interconnected through hoses with tanks for working solution, which are located on the central section.

EFFECT: high accuracy of detecting defects and damages at an early stage of their formation and enabling mobile repair of the dam in real time.
