A rectangular slideway 12 is opened inside the limit support plate 11. A motor bracket 13 fixed by welding is installed in the middle of the rear end of the limit support plate 11. An embedded driving motor 14 is installed at the top of the front end of the motor bracket 13. A first rotating bracket 15 connected by a key is installed in the middle of the bottom end of the driving motor 14. The first rotating bracket 15 is connected to the second rotating bracket 17 at the bottom through three groups of first connecting rods 16 fixed by bolts.

The slider 20 fixed by a hinge is installed at the bottom end of the third rotating bracket 19 and is further fixedly connected to the electromagnetic coupler 7 through a transmission shaft by a key.

[0022] The baffle horizontal moving device 8 includes a rack 21, a first gear 22, a worm gear 23, a bearing 24, a box body 25, a worm 26, a second gear 27, a third gear 28, a connecting disk 29, a traveling wheel 30, and a "T"-shaped connecting plate 31. The top end of the rack 21 is installed with a first gear 22 connected by meshing. A worm gear 23 connected by a key is installed in the middle of the rear end of the first gear 22 and is hinged and fixed at the inner bottom of the box body 25 through a bearing 24. A worm 26 connected by meshing is installed at the left end of the worm gear 23. A second gear 27 connected by a key is installed at the top of the worm 26.

[0024] Working principle of the present invention: When there is too much snow on the roof, the solar panel powers the resistance heating plates on both sides to generate heat, causing the snow on both sides of the electric heating snow removal baffle to melt faster. Then, by controlling the rotation of the driving motor, the first rotating bracket is further driven to rotate. Then, the first rotating bracket drives the second rotating bracket to rotate through three groups of first connecting rods. Similarly, the second rotating bracket drives the third rotating bracket to rotate. Then, the third rotating bracket drives the connecting plate and the third gear to rotate further through the transmission shaft at the bottom end in cooperation with the electromagnetic coupling. The third gear meshes with the second gear at the rear end and further drives the worm at the bottom end to rotate. The worm meshes with the worm gear at the right end and further drives the worm gear to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the first gear. The first gear is meshed and connected with the rack at the bottom end, thereby realizing the conversion of the rotational motion of the driving motor into the horizontal movement of the first gear and the box body. Then, the box body drives the electric heating snow removal baffle to move horizontally through the "T"-shaped connecting plate to clean the snow on the roof. At the same time, during the horizontal movement of the baffle, the electromagnetic coupling and the slider are driven to move horizontally along the slideway, and the first rotating bracket, the second rotating bracket, and the third rotating bracket drive through the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to realize the uninterrupted output of power during the movement. Then, by cooperating with the forward and reverse rotation of the driving motor, the snow on the roof can be comprehensively cleaned up.

[0025] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the teachings of the present invention, without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, the changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the implementation manners still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
