Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of snow removal technology for tactile paving, and more particularly to a device and method for heating, snow removal and antifreezing of tactile paving bricks. Background Technology

[0002] Tactile paving bricks, also known as tactile blocks, tactile paving boards, or tactile paving tiles, are paving bricks specifically designed for the blind to prevent them from wandering off and falling. Manufactured according to international standards, these bricks are well-designed, possess sensitive tactile feedback, are resistant to strong corrosion, wear and tear, and have a long lifespan. In winter, snow can cover the tactile paving bricks, accumulating in the gaps and reaching the same height as the bricks, rendering them ineffective. Furthermore, snow makes the bricks slippery, creating a slippery hazard for the blind. Therefore, it is necessary to remove snow from the tactile paving bricks regularly.

[0003] Because the textures and gaps on different tactile paving bricks are different, regular shaving equipment cannot be used. This is because the shaving blade will collide with the protrusions on the tactile paving bricks, thus damaging the tactile paving. Manual methods are inefficient and waste manpower. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a device and method for heating, snow removal and antifreezing of tactile paving bricks, which can clean the snow in the gaps of tactile paving bricks with different textures.

[0005] A device for heating, snow removal and antifreezing of tactile paving bricks includes an outer frame with two rotating rods rotatably connected to it. A swing arm is rotatably connected to the middle of the two rotating rods via a pin. A sliding groove is provided on the swing arm, and a slider is slidably connected in the groove. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the swing arm, and multiple ice-shaving claws are fixedly connected to the mounting frame by bolts. Multiple adjustment holes are provided on the swing arm.

[0006] A processing box is fixedly connected to the outer frame, and a slider is fixedly connected to the processing box. The processing box is equipped with a snow inlet and a snow outlet. A first motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the processing box, and an impeller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor.

[0007] An exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the processing box, and a heating cover is fixedly connected to the lower end of the exhaust pipe. Multiple heating strips are fixedly connected to the heating cover.

[0008] The processing box is rotatably connected to two drive wheels, and the outer frame is rotatably connected to two driven wheels.

[0009] A first bevel gear is fixedly connected to each of the two rotating rods, and a second bevel gear is fixedly connected to each of the two drive wheels. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are connected by a transmission rod, and both transmission rods are rotatably connected to the outer frame.

[0010] The exhaust pipe has multiple exhaust holes.

[0011] A barrier net is fixedly connected inside the processing box.

[0012] The method includes the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: Move this device above the tactile paving;

[0014] Step 2: Adjust the height of multiple ice shaving claws by adjusting the rotation points of the two rotating rods on the swing arm;

[0015] Step 3: Adjust the distance between multiple ice shaving claws so that all the ice shaving claws are positioned between the gaps in the tactile paving bricks;

[0016] Step 4: By controlling two rotating rods to drive multiple ice-shaving claws to swing and clear the snow, the two rotating rods also drive two drive wheels to rotate, causing the device to move.

[0017] Step 5: Control the impeller rotation to suck the broken snow blocks into the processing tank and then discharge them;

[0018] Step Six: Heat multiple heating strips with electricity, and the hot air generated by the exhaust pipe will melt and evaporate the ice residue adhering to the tactile paving bricks. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] See Figure 1-3 and Figure 7 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the invention capable of clearing snow from the gaps between tactile paving bricks of different textures. Further,

[0031] A device for heating, snow removal, and antifreezing of tactile paving bricks includes an outer frame 501. Two rotating rods 101 are rotatably connected to the outer frame 501 via bearings. A swing arm 102 is rotatably connected to the two rotating rods 101 via a pin. A sliding groove 101 is provided on the swing arm 102, and a slider 105 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 101. A mounting bracket 106 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the swing arm 102 via bolts. Multiple ice-shaving claws 107 are fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 106 via bolts. Multiple adjustment holes 103 are provided on the swing arm 102.

[0032] The outer frame 501 is used to support and protect the mounting frame 106, and multiple ice-shaving claws 107 are used to remove snow blocks accumulated in the cracks of the tactile paving bricks.

[0033] When using this device, the operator first moves the device onto the tactile paving so that the mounting frame 106 is directly above the tactile paving bricks. At this time, the two rotating rods 101 are controlled to rotate. Under the action of the pin, the two rotating rods 101 drive the swing arm 102 to swing. The swing arm 102 slides through the sliding groove 101 and the slider 105 to achieve the swing effect. Thus, the swing arm 102 can drive the mounting frame 106 to swing. The multiple ice-shaving claws 107 on the mounting frame 106 are all equipped with two sharp parts, so that the ice-shaving claws 107 can remove the snow accumulated in the texture gaps of the tactile paving bricks during the back and forth swinging process, and the cleaning effect is more comprehensive. At the same time, it moves forward in conjunction with the outer frame 501 to achieve a continuous cleaning effect.

[0034] Because the textures and gaps on different tactile paving bricks vary, conventional shaving equipment cannot be used because the blades would collide with the protrusions on the tactile paving bricks, damaging the tactile paving. Before using this device, workers can adjust the height of multiple shaving claws 107 according to the depth of the gaps in the tactile paving bricks to be treated. This is done by disassembling the pin between the two rotating rods 101 and the swing arm 102, inserting the pin into the appropriate adjustment hole 103, and then fixing it in place. At this point, the height of the multiple shaving claws 107 changes, thereby achieving precise shaving and avoiding scratches on the tactile paving bricks.

[0035] The width of the gaps between different tactile paving bricks varies. Workers can remove multiple ice shaving claws 107 from the mounting bracket 106 and then adjust the distance between the multiple ice shaving claws 107 so that all the ice shaving claws 107 are positioned at the gaps between the tactile paving bricks. This prevents the ice shaving claws 107 from colliding with the protrusions on the tactile paving bricks during operation, thus avoiding damage. This method is highly applicable.

[0036] See Figure 8-10 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the function of clearing broken snow blocks according to the present invention. Further,

[0037] A processing box 201 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 501 by bolts. A slider 105 is fixedly connected to the processing box 201 by bolts. The processing box 201 is provided with a snow inlet hood 205 and a snow outlet 206. A first motor 203 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the processing box 201 by bolts. An impeller 202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 203 by a coupling.

[0038] When clearing snow, broken snow pieces will remain in the gaps between the tactile paving bricks. If not removed in time, the broken snow pieces will refreeze in the gaps as the temperature drops. At this time, the first motor 203 is started to drive the impeller 202 to rotate. When the impeller 202 rotates, it will create a negative pressure in the processing box 201, so that the broken snow pieces can be sucked into the processing box 201 through the snow inlet hood 205. Then, under the action of the impeller 202, they are discharged through the snow outlet 206, thus realizing the function of clearing the broken snow pieces. The discharged snow pieces can be piled up in the green belts on both sides of the road, or they can be stored in external containers.

[0039] See Figure 8-9 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the invention capable of removing ice deposits from tactile paving bricks. Further,

[0040] An exhaust pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the outside of the processing box 201 by bolts. A heating cover 302 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the exhaust pipe 301 by bolts. Multiple electric heating strips 303 are fixedly connected to the heating cover 302 by bolts.

[0041] Because the ice scraper 107 cannot directly contact the tactile paving bricks, after clearing the broken snow, some ice fragments remain in the gaps between the tactile paving bricks. These ice fragments melt and then refroze, forming a thin layer of ice, making the surface of the tactile paving bricks smooth and creating a slippery hazard for blind people. During the cleaning process, the staff heats multiple heating strips 303 on the heating cover 302, causing them to generate heat. The heating cover 302 prevents heat loss. When the lower end of the heating cover 302 is close to the tactile paving bricks, the heat generated by the multiple heating strips 303 melts the ice fragments on the tactile paving bricks, turning them into water vapor that evaporates. This achieves the function of clearing ice fragments and prevents the ice fragments from melting naturally and then refrozen, forming a thin layer of ice that makes the tactile paving bricks smooth and creating a safety hazard.

[0042] See Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the effect of ensuring the smooth movement of the outer frame 501 according to the present invention. Further,

[0043] The processing box 201 has two drive wheels 401 rotatably connected to it via bearings, and the outer frame 501 has two driven wheels 503 rotatably connected to it via bearings.

[0044] The outer frame 501 is moved by controlling the rotation of the two drive wheels 401, and the two driven wheels 503 play an auxiliary role to ensure the smooth movement of the outer frame 501.

[0045] See Figure 4-5 The diagram shows an embodiment of the invention that enables synchronized control of multiple ice-shaving claws 107 and two drive wheels 401. Further,

[0046] Two rotating rods 101 are each fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 404 by a key, and two driving wheels 401 are each fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 402 by a key. The first bevel gear 404 and the second bevel gear 402 are connected by a transmission rod 403. Both ends of the transmission rod 403 are bevel gears, which mesh with the first bevel gear 404 and the second bevel gear 402 respectively. Both transmission rods 403 are rotatably connected to the outer frame 501 by bearings.

[0047] The rotation of the two rotating rods 101 drives multiple ice-shaving claws 107 to clear snow, while also driving the two first bevel gears 404 to rotate. The first bevel gears 404, in cooperation with the transmission rod 403, drive the second bevel gear 402 to rotate, thereby driving the drive wheel 401 to rotate, realizing the function of moving the outer frame 501. With the cooperation of the transmission rod 403, the multiple ice-shaving claws 107 and the two drive wheels 401 are controlled synchronously, thus realizing the function of clearing snow while the device moves. After the device stops moving, the multiple ice-shaving claws 107 will also stop running to avoid energy waste. When the multiple ice-shaving claws 107 are not needed for normal road movement, the two rotating rods 101 can be disengaged from the swing arm 102 by the pin, which is convenient to operate.

[0048] See Figure 8 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the invention that promotes the evaporation of melting ice chips is shown. Further,

[0049] The exhaust pipe 301 has multiple exhaust holes 304. When the processing box 201 sucks in snow, air also enters the processing box 201. Some of the air enters the exhaust pipe 301 and is finally discharged through the multiple exhaust holes 304. Since the multiple exhaust holes 304 are all horizontal, the air can diffuse to the vicinity of the multiple heating bars 303. The multiple heating bars 303 heat the air and finally discharge it as hot air. The hot air can promote the evaporation of the melted ice and increase the evaporation rate of the ice.

[0050] See Figure 10 The diagram shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention capable of blocking snow blocks. Further,

[0051] A barrier net 204 is fixedly connected inside the processing box 201 by bolts.

[0052] The barrier net 204 can block snow blocks through the air. When the processing box 201 sucks in snow blocks, air will also enter the processing box 201. Some of the air will enter the exhaust pipe 301 through the barrier net 204 and finally be discharged through multiple exhaust holes 304. The snow blocks will be blocked by the barrier net 204 and remain in the processing box 201.

[0053] See Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention capable of driving two rotating rods 101 to rotate synchronously is shown. Further,

[0054] A second motor 502 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 501 by bolts, and one of the rotating rods 101 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 502 by a coupling.

[0055] One of the rotating rods 101 is driven to rotate by the second motor 502, and the two rotating rods 101 rotate synchronously through a pin.

[0056] See Figure 3 This illustrates an embodiment of the invention that increases the friction between the drive wheel 401 and the ground. Further,

[0057] Both drive wheels 401 are fitted with rubber tires, and the rubber tires have friction treads.

[0058] Since the two drive wheels 401 provide driving force for the movement of this device, the rubber tire with friction texture can increase the friction between the drive wheels 401 and the ground, thereby preventing the drive wheels 401 from slipping and maintaining the uniform speed movement and cleaning efficiency of this device.

[0059] The method includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 1: Move this device above the tactile paving;

[0061] Step 2: Adjust the height of multiple ice-shaving claws 107 by adjusting the rotation points of the two rotating rods 101 on the swing arm 102;

[0062] Step 3: Adjust the distance between the multiple ice shaving claws 107 so that all the ice shaving claws 107 are positioned between the gaps in the tactile paving bricks;

[0063] Step 4: By controlling the two rotating rods 101 to drive the multiple ice-shaving claws 107 to swing and clear the snow, the two rotating rods 101 drive the two drive wheels 401 to rotate and move the device.

[0064] Step 5: By controlling the rotation of the impeller 202, the broken snow blocks are sucked into the processing box 201 and discharged.

[0065] Step Six: Heat multiple heating strips 303 with electricity, and the hot air generated by the exhaust pipe 301 will melt and evaporate the ice on the tactile paving bricks.
