1 "MAQUINA PARA LA EXTINCIÓN DE INCENDIOS 1 "FIRE EXTINGUISHING MACHINE
POR LANZAMIENTO DE TIERRA" Los medios que convencionalmente se utilizan para sofocar los incendios forestales y agrícolas, consisten en 5 una actuación directa, mediante la utilización de paletas batefuegos y con ramas, así como en el lanzamiento de agua y tierra sobre las zonas incendiadas, en el caso de la ti£ rra siempre por medio manuales.BY LAUNCHING OF LAND "The means that are conventionally used to quench forest and agricultural fires, consist of a direct action, by using fire paddles and branches, as well as the launching of water and land on the burning areas, in the case of the tide always by means of manuals.
Cuando las proporciones de los fuegos son grandes, '0 las posibilidades quedan prácticamente reducidas sin emba£ go al lanzamiento de agua desde aviones y helicópteros, y en todo caso con mangueras de gran impulsión, desde unida¬ des terrestres móviles, ya que las dificultades de acerca¬ miento al fuego hacen en esos casos prácticamente inutili- >5 zables los medios manuales de actuación con batefuegos y - ramas, o el lanzamiento de tierra con palas.When the proportions of the fires are large, '0 the possibilities are practically reduced without the launching of water from airplanes and helicopters, and in any case with high-pressure hoses, from mobile land units, since the difficulties The approach to fire makes in these cases practically unusable the manual means of action with bats and - branches, or the throwing of earth with shovels.
Sin embargo, el agua es un medio que en pocos ca¬ sos se encuentra en cantidades adecuadas con una relativa proximidad a las zonas incendiadas, lo cual hace que su — 20 utilización resulte generalmente lenta y costosa, dejando bastante que desear por ello los resultados.However, water is a medium that in a few cases is in adequate quantities with a relative proximity to the burned areas, which makes its use generally slow and expensive, leaving the results to be desired. .
A la vista de todos esos inconvenientes y dificul¬ tades, se ha pensado en la utilización de la tierra como - un medio más eficaz para esa función extintora de los in— 25 cendios, debido a la abundancia prácticamente inagotable - de ese medio y su disponibilidad directamente en los pro¬ pios lugares donde sea necesaria la utilización.In view of all these inconveniences and difficulties, the use of the land has been thought of as - a more effective means for this extinguishing function of the fires, due to the practically inexhaustible abundance - of that medium and its availability directly in the places where use is necessary.
Como masa utilizable a tal efecto, se considera la mezcla agrupada de todos los materiales que puedan formar 30 la capa del suelo del terreno, como arena, arcilla, grava, pizarras, piedra, etc.; siendo el problema a resolver, el de excavar, recoger y lanzar esa masa sobre las zonas in-- cendiadas, en la cantidad suficiente para que la extinción pueda tener efecto, y a la distancia suficiente para no su -> ' frir los efectos del fuego.As a mass that can be used for this purpose, the grouped mixture of all the materials that can form the soil layer of the soil, such as sand, clay, gravel, slates, stone, etc .; being the problem to be solved, that of digging, picking up and throwing that mass on the burned areas, in sufficient quantity so that the extinction can take effect, and at a sufficient distance so as not to suppress the effects of fire .

El rodillo (11) queda superiormente cubierto por - una carcasa (16) , la cual hace de conductora para dirigir la tierra (12) que se recoge, hacia la entrada a la turbi¬ na (13) , yendo incorporada en esa entrada una rejilla tam_i zadora (17) dispuesta en inclinación, que sólo deja pasar los materiales hasta de un cierto tamaño, mientras que los trozos o bloques (18) superiores a ese tamaño son rechaza¬ dos, cayendo de nuevo sobre el terreno (19) , tal como pue¬ de observarse en la figura 7.The roller (11) is superiorly covered by - a housing (16), which acts as a conductor to direct the collected earth (12), towards the entrance to the turbine (13), being incorporated into that entrance a sieve grid (17) arranged in inclination, which only allows materials to pass up to a certain size, while the pieces or blocks (18) larger than that size are rejected, falling back onto the ground (19), as can be seen in figure 7.
Para llevar a cabo la excavación y la mencionada - recogida de tierra (12) , el rodillo (11) va provisto con - una particular realización constructiva, componiéndose de una serie de discos paralelos (20) , equidistancialmente — dispuestos, los cuales sobresalen respecto de una carcasa cilindrica (21) dispuesta concéntricamente en relación con el respectivo eje del rodillo (22) .To carry out the excavation and the aforementioned - land collection (12), the roller (11) is provided with - a particular constructive embodiment, consisting of a series of parallel disks (20), equidistantially - arranged, which stand out with respect to of a cylindrical housing (21) concentrically arranged in relation to the respective roller axis (22).
Entre los mencionados discos (20) se incorporan so lidariamente unas placas (23) equidistancialmente distri¬ buidas en el contorno, las cuales quedan dispuestas en una posición un tanto oblicua con respecto al sentido radial, - sujetándose sobre dichas placas (23) , unas respectivas cu¬ chillas (24) que sobresalen hacia afuera; mientras que en una disposición más oblicua, partiendo del mismo punto in¬ terior que las placas (23) , se incorporan solidariamente a su vez unas chapas (25) , las cuales determinan en relación con las correspondientes placas (23) y cuchillas (24) , un hueco a modo de cangilón, que facilita la recogida de la - tierra (12) y su traslado hacia la turbina (13) .Among the aforementioned discs (20), plates (23) are equally integrally distributed in the contour, which are arranged in a somewhat oblique position with respect to the radial direction, - being held on said plates (23), respective blades (24) protruding outward; while in a more oblique arrangement, starting from the same interior point as the plates (23), plates (25) are in turn incorporated in solidarity, which they determine in relation to the corresponding plates (23) and blades (24 ), a bucket-like hole, which facilitates the collection of the earth (12) and its transfer to the turbine (13).
Los discos (20) van además provistos en la perife¬ ria externa con unos dientes protectores (26) , los cualesThe discs (20) are also provided in the outer periphery with protective teeth (26), which
HOJA DE SUSTITUCIÓN (REGLA 26) actúan a su vez como elementos de arranque de la tierra -- (12) , evitando que los mencionados discos (20) y las pro¬ pias cuchillas (24) puedan incidir directamente contra las rocas o piedras grandes con riesgo de rotura. No obstante, cuando por desgaste o rotura accidental sea preciso, las - cuchillas (24) son en su caso recambiables, de igual modo que los propios dientes (26) .SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) they act in turn as starting elements of the earth - (12), preventing the aforementioned discs (20) and the own blades (24) from directly affecting rocks or large stones with risk of breakage. However, when due to accidental wear or tear it is necessary, the blades (24) are replaceable, in the same way as the teeth (26).
La turbina (13) se halla formada por su parte por una carcasa externa, dentro de la cual se incluyen unas as_ pas radiales (27) , las cuales quedan incorporadas sobre un eje (28) , y a su vez solidarias de un volante de inercia - (29) , que permite realizar eficazmente con fuerza la impu£ sión.The turbine (13) is formed in turn by an external housing, which includes radial blades (27), which are incorporated on an axis (28), and in turn in solidarity with a flywheel - (29), which allows the tax to be carried out effectively with force.
Con todo ello así, durante el propio avance de la máquina el rodillo (11) va realizando una excavación en el terreno (19) , con un sentido de giro que favorece la reco¬ gida de la tierra (12) la cual es elevada y proyectada so¬ bre la rejilla (17) , por la que los materiales de pequeño tamaño pasan a la turbina (13) , mientras que los materia— les (18) de un cierto tamaño son rechazados, cayendo de — nuevo al terreno (19) , en tanto que el conjunto de la tie¬ rra (12) que entra a la turbina (13) , es proyectado a tra¬ vés de una salida (30) , de modo que esa proyección puede - ser lanzada sobre el fuego que se haya de apagar. Para facilitar el lanzamiento de la proyección de tierra (12) sobre el lugar que interese, la salida (30) se prevé direccionalmente orientable, de modo que según el áii guio de altura en que se oriente la misma el alcance de la proyección será mayor o menor, pudiendo incluso cambiarse el lado de lanzamiento, de forma que tanto en los recorri¬ dos de ida como en los de vuelta, andando la máquina siem¬ pre de frente, se puede enfocar el lanzamiento de la tie¬ rra (12) sobre una misma zona incendiada, permitiendo sofo car el fuego mediante sucesivas pasadas, las veces que sea necesario.With all this, during the advance of the machine, the roller (11) is excavating the ground (19), with a direction of rotation that favors the collection of the earth (12) which is high and projected onto the grid (17), whereby small materials pass to the turbine (13), while materials (18) of a certain size are rejected, falling back to the ground (19 ), while the whole of the land (12) entering the turbine (13), is projected through an outlet (30), so that this projection can - be thrown on the fire that It has to shut down. To facilitate the launching of the ground projection (12) on the place of interest, the exit (30) is provided directionally orientable, so that according to the height guide where it is oriented, the scope of the projection will be greater or less, and can even be changed l release side, so that both recorri¬ two round as in the back, the walking machine siem¬ pre front can focus the release of rra tie¬ (12 ) on the same area on fire, allowing to smother the fire by successive passes, as many times as necessary.
