Problem:
I have a 2-d numpy array as follows:
a = np.array([[1,5,9,13,17],
              [2,6,10,14,18],
              [3,7,11,15,19],
              [4,8,12,16,20]]
I want to extract it into patches of 2 by 2 sizes with out repeating the elements. Pay attention that if the shape is indivisible by patch size, we would just ignore the rest row/column.
The answer should exactly be the same. This can be 3-d array or list with the same order of elements as below:
[[[1,5],
 [2,6]],   
 [[9,13],
 [10,14]],
 [[3,7],
 [4,8]],
 [[11,15],
 [12,16]]]
How can do it easily?
In my real problem the size of a is (36, 73). I can not do it one by one. I want programmatic way of doing it.
A:
<code>
import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1,5,9,13,17],
              [2,6,10,14,18],
              [3,7,11,15,19],
              [4,8,12,16,20]])
patch_size = 2
</code>
result = ... # put solution in this variable
BEGIN SOLUTION
<code>
