Description

The invention relates to transport equipment of the type of a basic chassis-tank, a tank trailer, a tank semi-trailer for transportation, stationary storage and operation of various liquid, viscous and bulk substances filled into them, and can be used for liquids: oil, water, alcohol-containing special liquids, cargo: liquid food products (drinking water, milk, kvass, beer, wine, alcohol, fruit juices), light petroleum products (gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene), and viscous (oil, fuel oil, tar, bitumen) liquid mineral fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides (ammonia water, complex nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers), in the construction industry (cement, liquid and semi-liquid building mixtures, lime, gypsum, mineral granulated powders, in military conditions for storage, transportation and use of explosives, liquefied and compressed flammable liquids and bulk substances for extinguishing forest fires in hard-to-reach forest areas.

A mobile tank is known (see modern production technologies (electronic resource) access mode URL: https://extze.com), for transporting and using liquid substances without removing them from the car body, in the upper part of which there are hatches, hermetically sealed with lids, in which breathers or safety valves are installed. The mobile tank is equipped with level gauge tubes, a centrifugal pump, pipelines, sleeves and connecting fittings.

The disadvantage of the known mobile tank is that it is rigidly fixed to the base chassis of a truck, which does not allow it to perform a number of functions in difficult agricultural and field conditions, such as watering or spraying liquid or bulk substances filled into it.

Also known is a tank (see the equipment catalog of Pelenagro LLC (electronic resource) access mode URL: https://pelengagro.ru/catalog/avto-tsisterna-uaZ.), for the transportation of low-viscosity light products, having a neck for filling and compensating for the thermal expansion of the product, a breathing valve, a filling limiter, a sump with a water separator, a product level indicator, breakwaters, a service platform with a ladder, a bracket for tables, a pump, pipelines, tubes for hoses, a tool box, a chassis.

The disadvantage of the well-known analogue is that the tank is also rigidly fixed in the body of the car; filling and unloading liquid and bulk substances from the tank requires not only a large amount of equipment for various purposes installed on the tank, but also stationary installations.

In addition, a mobile unit for washing and disinfecting containers has been patented (see patent for utility model RU No. 50132 U1 published on 27.12.2005, bulletin No. 36), which includes a base chassis and at least one water tank, a tank for a disinfectant or disinfectant, a collection tray for flushing from treated containers, equipment for hydrodynamic washing, a lifting and tipping mechanism for treated containers, and a mechanism for unloading, draining, or sludge, mounted on it. The lifting and tipping mechanism is made in the form of a manipulator, and the equipment for hydrodynamic washing includes a high-pressure pump with a system of pipelines and hoses and at least one sprayer.

The disadvantage is that the mobile unit can only perform limited washing, removal and flushing operations from treated containers using special equipment, also rigidly fixed to the chassis of the truck.

The closest in technical essence and achievable technical result - the prototype is a method for extinguishing forest fires and a robotic complex for its implementation (see patent for invention RU No. 2677413 c 1 dated 14.03.2018 IPC A62C 37/00, published. Bulletin No. 2 dated 16.01.2019) including a robotic complex for implementing the method for extinguishing forest fires, containing a plurality of remotely controlled vehicles with fire extinguishing means, characterized in that the robotic complex contains one or more robotic platforms equipped with a device for felling timber, one or more robotic platforms equipped with a trench digger or soil thrower, one or more robotic platforms equipped with a unit for extinguishing fires with a jet of water and / or foam, one or more copters equipped with video surveillance systems and / or SWIR thermal imaging cameras or FLIR, while all or part of the robotic platforms of the complex, primarily those equipped with a trench digger or soil thrower, may contain devices for starting the ignition, for example, wick-type ignition devices filled with a gasoline-oil mixture, or other ignition devices.

The robotic complex contains vehicles equipped with means of remote control of the elements of the complex, means of communication between themselves and senior management, as well as trailers for transporting robotic platforms.

Trailers for transporting robotic platforms contain antenna masts for remote control channels.

The disadvantages of the known prototype are its high labor intensity due to the presence of a significant number of robotic platforms, the danger to the lives of specialists servicing this equipment. Different types of forest fire extinguishing equipment are installed on the robotic platform and when performing one operation, other working bodies are idle, as a result of which the robotic complex becomes expensive and of little functionality.

The objective of the proposed invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings, the technical result of which will be an increase in the mobility of the unit, due to its versatility, expansion of the functional capabilities of its use in various climatic conditions, in hard-to-reach places from the Far North to the desert, for various industries, freeing up freight transport for other work on the movement of goods and equipment, increasing labor productivity by reducing the downtime of motor transport.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the mobile unit, comprising a platform designed with the possibility of being secured to a vehicle and moved, and an automatic control system, are distinguished in that on the outer surface of the platform there are recesses in which from 1 to 6 tanks are installed, tool boxes and a heating system consisting of a boiler, a fuel tank, a compressor, hoses, a pressure pump unit, tanks for chemicals are mounted on the platform, and the automatic control system controls the flow rate, level, heating, maintaining the required temperature and pressure of the substances in the tanks.
