Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of road maintenance equipment, and particularly relates to a rotary cutting snow thrower. BACKGROUND

[0002] On the snow removal equipment, different equipment can be applied according to different snow accumulation and working conditions. For general thin snow, a snow removal vehicle or a grader with a single function of "pushing", "sweeping", "blowing" or a three-in-one function is generally used, and a method of dissolving snow by chemical method is also used. The snow removal vehicle integrated with the three-in-one function of "pushing", "sweeping" and "blowing" is widely used due to its good snow removal effect, high efficiency and ability to handle many complex snow conditions.

[0003] However, for thick snow in high latitude areas and extreme "wind blown snow" conditions, the working efficiency of the conventional "pushing", "sweeping" and "blowing" snow removal vehicle will be seriously reduced or even unable to work. In this case, a snow thrower capable of breaking and collecting snow and throwing it far away becomes a necessary equipment.

[0004] In the development of snow thrower equipment, Japanese patent JP4442730B2 provides a snow removal machine without manual operation on uneven road surface, which can reliably and effectively remove snow. It mainly includes a traveling vehicle, a snow removal device supported in front of the traveling vehicle, a lifting device installed between the traveling vehicle and the snow removal device for moving the snow removal device up and down, an oil cylinder for tilting the snow removal device forward and backward and a lifting oil cylinder for lifting the snow removal device up and down. By setting the tilting oil cylinder and the lifting oil cylinder in a floating state, the snow can be removed according to the road surface condition, and the residual snow is less after snow removal.

[0005] Another patent of the above patent owner JP4553154B2 describes a spiral snow removal machine, which includes a vehicle 2 capable of self-propelling through a traveling drive device and a snow removal device provided in front of the vehicle and driven by a snow removal drive device. The snow removal device includes a spiral machine for collecting snow and a blower for throwing the snow collected by the spiral machine in a predetermined direction. The traveling control device is used to control the traveling motor of the vehicle to travel at a predetermined speed, which is determined according to the snow height. The traveling control device includes a setting device for setting the snow height and a storage component for storing the speed limit corresponding to the input snow height. It can control the speed according to the thickness of the snow to ensure efficient and high-quality completion of the snow removal work.

[0006] The utility model discloses a snow thrower with road edge tracking control system, including cab, car body, snow throwing cylinder and road edge tracking control system, the road edge tracking control system includes road distance sensor, controller, display and alarm mechanism, the controller, alarm mechanism, display are all installed in the cab, the distance sensor includes front vehicle distance sensor and rear vehicle distance sensor, is installed respectively in the car body both ends near the road edge stone one side, and is connected with controller input end respectively, and the controller output end is connected alarm mechanism, and the display is connected with controller through data line bidirectionally. But in the case of snow burying road edge stone, the control system described in this patent will not work.

[0007] CN107542057A discloses a snow removal snow thrower, including automobile chassis, power driving device, snow throwing device, the automobile chassis is equipped with control system and power driving device, the automobile chassis front end is equipped with the snow throwing device, the snow throwing device includes rack, winch cage assembly, thrower and snow guide, characterized in that the shell of the thrower is composed of high-throwing shell, rotating shell, connecting block and rotating shell rotary device. However, due to its adoption of the split type design of installing the snow throwing device on the automobile chassis, the snow throwing capacity and efficiency are limited by the specification of the automobile chassis.

[0008] The above-mentioned snow thrower patent includes two types of split type and integral type. The split type snow thrower installs the snow throwing device on the loader or other forms of vehicles, which is limited by the power and structure of the matching equipment. The snow throwing capacity of this kind of snow thrower is low, and it cannot handle severe snow conditions, but the cost is low. The integral type snow thrower is configured with a stronger power system and working device, which can handle more severe snow conditions, has higher working efficiency, and also has higher cost.

[0009] With the development of the times, the society's sensitivity to time and efficiency is increasing. In key areas such as highways, airports and urban main roads, more efficient snow removal and obstacle removal operations are required, which requires higher requirements for the snow throwing efficiency of the snow thrower.

When the snow is thick, the engine runs at a larger power, the displacement of the working pump is adjusted to be larger by the electromagnetic valve, and the working device 7 runs at a larger power. At the same time, the vehicle is required to run slowly, so the displacement of the walking pump is adjusted to be smaller by the electromagnetic valve, so that the vehicle runs slowly. Further, when there is little snow or no snow removal is needed, the displacement of the working pump is adjusted to be smaller or even to 0 by the electromagnetic valve, and the displacement of the walking pump is adjusted to be larger, so that the vehicle runs quickly or full-speed.
