The disadvantages of this solution are the complexity of the design and limited operation.

The prototype of the claimed solution is an Intelligent robot for demining (patent document CN 109696085 (A), which includes a moving part, a mine clearance part, and a mine-sweeping part. The intelligent robot deminer is distinguished by the fact that the lower end of the long plate of the demining part is fixedly connected to the upper the end of the round disk of the moving part; the fourth steering motor of the demining part is placed vertically upward, and the lower end of the demining part is fixedly connected to the upper end of the round disk of the chassis; during use, the first camera of the moving part collects information and transmits the information to the intelligent control unit, the first engine, the first gear, the large support wheel, the small support wheel and the track work together, and thus the robot is driven to reach the designated working position; and the first hydraulic cylinder drives the first telescopic rod, allowing the mine shovel to be inserted into the ground in place installation of the mine to dig it out, finally, the mine and the soil are excavated together by retracting the first hydraulic cylinder, then the dug mine is placed into the explosion-proof bucket by rotating the electric rotary shaft. During an explosion during digging, the base plate, the first steering motor, the shield arm and the shield work together and thus the machine is protected. The disadvantage of the invention is the limited functionality of the trawling and movement system.

The objective of the proposed solution is to overcome the identified shortcomings.

Disclosure of the invention

The technical result is to improve the quality of trawling and mine clearance, including in hard-to-reach places.

The task is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the robotic mine clearing vehicle is a self-propelled tracked chassis on which a lightly armored chassis frame is located. The chassis frame contains a power unit with a pump unit, a control unit, electrical and hydraulic equipment. An attachment attachment unit with a mulcher (mower) and a wide-cut mine detector placed on it is mounted to the chassis frame. In the front part of the tracked chassis there is a plate to which the trawling equipment (roller trawl) is attached. The control system is represented by hydraulic equipment, electrical equipment and remote control.

The roller trawl has the function of copying terrain and consists of a group of rollers, each roller being independent of the other. The rollers are arranged in two rows with an offset to prevent skipping of mines. Terrain copying occurs due to the fact that each roller is located on a separate axis and, due to its small width from 170 to 190 mm, more accurately copies all surface irregularities.

The mine detector detects anti-personnel mines (APM), groups of APM, anti-tank mines (ATM), explosive objects (HE) and uses a special device to indicate their location on the ground for further removal or neutralization on the spot by sappers. The mulcher (mower) allows you to quickly and effectively remove vegetation and small bushes above the ground surface, which ensures more efficient operation of the machine in searching and detecting mines with a mine detector, and also reduces the risks of safely neutralizing PTMs and high explosives.

The claimed device is controlled remotely. Remote control is an electronic system designed to control a mine clearing machine, attached and minesweeping equipment via radio channels by transmitting and receiving video signals and control signals. Machine control commands are executed automatically upon a signal from the operator using the control panel. The control panel receives control commands from the operator, converts them into appropriate signals for transmitting them via radio to the mine clearance machine control unit, which in turn distributes them to the actuators.

The control system is programmed at the factory, entered into a special device and does not require configuration during operation.

The image from the video cameras is transmitted to the control unit, which provides broadcasting of the video image from the video cameras to the operator’s monitor in real time.

For protection from external influences, control units are fixed inside the chassis frame. Antennas for receiving and transmitting signals, surveillance cameras are located on the chassis frame.

All design elements of the claimed solution are in a constructive connection and cannot function separately.

Additional beneficial effect obtained from use:

- safety of work and protection of personnel from damaging factors when a mine is triggered;

- reducing the physical and psychological stress of personnel performing mine clearance;

- reduction of manual labor.

Dynamics of a utility model

After the robotic demining vehicle is delivered to the job site, the operator prepares it for use in accordance with the tasks being performed.

The product provides the following types of work:

- demining the area by trawling;

- reconnaissance, search and detection in the ground and on the surface of PTM, PPM, mine-explosive barriers (MVD) and landmines with markings on the ground;

- demining of areas from anti-personnel mines and military personnel outside of combat conditions in remote control mode;

- removal of herbaceous vegetation and small bushes.

To carry out work to remove vegetation and small bushes, a mulcher (mower) is used, behind which there is a mine detector, which searches and detects anti-tank weapons, groups of anti-tank mines, high-explosive explosives and landmines. The principle of operation of the mine clearing machine is to trawle an explored area of terrain while simultaneously preparing a strip of the next area for trawling (mowing vegetation, detecting and marking mines with a mine detector). The mulcher (mower) and mine detector, depending on the work conditions, can be installed on the left or right side of the machine.

The claimed utility model makes it possible to achieve the stated technical result: to increase the efficiency of trawling with a roller trawl due to a group of independent rollers and the presence of a mulcher with a mine detector. The described design eliminates the need for manual force and also ensures easy access of the equipment to any terrain.
