AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system for removing snow, ice, or frost from pavement and similar surfaces, aimed at solving the problems caused by accumulation of snow or frost in winter. The goal is to improve the lifestyle of citizens by using low cost resources that are already in use today. The invention can also be used to remove stagnation from bridges, tunnels, railroads, airports, highways, covered stadiums, parking lots, squares, and parks.

Problems solved by technology

This leads to millions of losses of money, causing school and work closures, and also causing traffic accidents that result mainly with terrible casualties.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]In all figures, the same reference numbers indicate similar or corresponding elements, which are:

[0021]1. Main piping network of circulation of vapor gas.

[0022]2. Independent piping branches.

[0023]3. Valves.

[0024]4. Secondary piping.

[0025]5. Sprinklers.

[0026]6. Sensors.

[0027]7. Cabinet with regulation means and vapor gas control.

[0028]8. Conduits.

[0029]9. Metal sheets.

[0030]10. Flexible conduit (hose).

[0031]11. Movable equipment.

[0032]C=Curb.

[0033]L=Municipal Line.

[0034]r=Anti-skid ramp.

[0035]n=Accumulated snow or ice.

[0036]A=Traffic access.

[0037]The system 1 works with the presence of snow or ice, in which the sensors 6 catch their presence and the sprinklers 5 are automatically activated, releasing a vapor gas fluid against the pavement, melting or removing the ice or snow formation.

[0038]The sizing and design of the system of the present invention and the mobile equipment may be changeable, depending on the geographical situation and on the cost-benefit-efficiency analysis ...

Abstract

A system for clearing snow, ice, or frost from pavement and similar surfaces. The system is located underground and combines at least one main pipe of gaseous steam flow network including multiple independent pipe branches with valve devices, spaced apart from one another, all of which converge at least one secondary pipe including a series of sprinklers having snow or ice detection sensors, as well as an automatic trigger device for triggering the sprinklers, so as to melt the snow or ice formation.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a national stage entry of PCT / EC2012 / 000019 filed Mar. 23, 2012, under the International Convention and claiming priority over Argentinean Patent Application No. 20110101121 filed Mar. 01, 2011.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention refers to a system for removing snow, ice, or frost from pavement and similar surfaces. The system is specifically conceived and accomplished to achieve, in a fast and efficient way, the dissipation of snow or ice accumulated over pavements, lanes, highways, roads, and motorways.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Generally, and as it is known, climate change is getting more dynamic and one of the arising problems is the presence of snow, ice, or frost in different areas or places, particularly in urban centers.[0004]The approached problem has led to thinking about a solution, by the development of a system, for removing snow, ice, or frost from pavement and similar surfaces for t...
