Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of snowplow technology, specifically to a snowplow with snow removal indicator function and its working principle. Background Technology
[0002] Winters in northern regions are cold and snowy, often causing traffic jams on highways, airport runways, urban roads, rural roads, and around houses, greatly inconveniencing driving, aircraft takeoffs and landings, and people's travel. To ensure smooth traffic flow, timely snow removal is necessary, leading to the development of snowplows. Suspended snowplows mainly function as snowplows, shovels, scrapers, snow collectors, and snow throwers. While suspended snowplows can be used with wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, and tracked loaders, the operator's limited view from the cab prevents them from seeing the snowplow's shovel teeth in operation, significantly impacting the efficiency and quality of snow removal. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Furthermore, the snow pushing indicator strip and the snow shoveling indicator strip are respectively provided with forward indicator arrows, and the snow scraping indicator strip is provided with backward indicator arrows.
[0006] The working principle of a snowplow with snow removal indicator function is innovative in that it includes the following working states:
[0007] Work preparation: Fix the status indicator device to the rear side plate of the snow collection cover with bolts, install the suspension frame on the loader. The loader comes with a boom cylinder and a tilt cylinder. The boom cylinder drives the snowplow body to move up and down, and the tilt cylinder drives the snow collection cover to rotate the snow pusher plate, lower shovel teeth, upper snow scraper teeth, and contour plate to achieve the required working state.
[0008] Snow-pushing state: The snow-pushing blade is in slight contact with the lawn or ground, the lower blade is parallel to the ground and 9-12mm away from the ground, the roller moves with the snowplow body, but due to the presence of counterweight, the indicator bar of the status indicator bar coincides with the back side of the snow-pushing indicator bar at this time, the contouring blade and the side snow guard float and contour under the action of gravity, and the snowplow body moves forward in the direction indicated by the forward indicator arrow to complete the snow-pushing operation.
[0009] Snow removal status: The bottom surface of the front corner of the lower blade is in slight contact with the lawn or ground. The roller moves with the snowplow body. However, due to the presence of counterweight, the indicator bar of the status indicator is aligned with the rear side of the snow removal indicator bar. The contouring slide and side snow guard float and contour under the action of gravity. The snowplow body moves forward in the direction indicated by the forward indicator arrow to complete the snow removal operation.
[0010] Snow scraping status: The upper snow scraper teeth make slight contact with the lawn or ground, and the roller moves with the snowplow body. However, due to the presence of counterweight, the indicator bar of the status indicator is aligned with the back side of the snow scraper indicator bar. The contouring slide makes contact with the ground, the upper snow scraper teeth make contact with the ground, and the snowplow body moves backward in the direction indicated by the backward indicator arrow to complete the snow scraping operation.
[0011] With the above structure, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0012] (1) This invention utilizes the principle of gravity center of gravity, and the center of gravity of the status indicator rod is always below its rotation center. In this way, the position of the status indicator rod is reverse-calibrated according to the working state of the snowplow, and the snow removal status position is determined, which greatly facilitates the snowplow operator and also greatly improves the efficiency and quality of snow removal.
[0013] (2) This invention is applicable to installation on suspended snowplows, hand-push snowplows and self-powered snowplows;

[0022] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] See Figure 1-5A snowplow with snow removal indicator function includes a snowplow body, which mainly includes a snow collection hood 1. The front end of the snow collection hood 1 is provided with upper snow scraping teeth 2. The lower part of the snow collection hood 1 is provided with a snow pushing plate 3, lower shovel teeth 4 and side snow baffles 5. The bottom of the side snow baffles 5 is provided with a contouring plate 6. The rear end of the snow collection hood 1 is provided with a rear side plate 7 and a suspension frame 8. The rear side plate 7 is provided with a status indicator device 9. The status indicator device 9 includes a roller 91. The surface of the roller 91 is provided with snow pushing indicator strips 92, snow shoveling indicator strips 93 and snow scraping indicator strips 94 and a pair of mounting holes 95. The mounting holes 95 are fixed to the rear side plate 7 by bolt pairs. The side of the roller 91 is provided with a mounting beam 96. The mounting beam 96 is provided with a rotating shaft 97. The rotating shaft 97 is movably sleeved with a status indicator rod 98 and fixed by a nut. The status indicator rod 98 includes an indicator rod 981 and a counterweight 982. The indicator rod 981 extends to the surface of the roller 91. Specifically, this invention utilizes the principle of gravity center of gravity. Regardless of the tilt angle of the snowplow body, the roller moves with the snowplow body. However, due to the presence of the counterweight 982, the center of gravity of the status indicator rod 98 is always below its rotation center. Thus, the position of the indicator rod 981 is determined by reversing the working state of the snowplow, thereby determining the snow removal status. This provides great convenience for the snowplow operator and also greatly improves the efficiency and quality of snow removal operations. The status indicator device 9 can be fixed to the rear side plate of the snow collection hood with bolts (or installed in a position parallel to the rear side plate of the snow collection hood, but it must be clearly visible to the operator in the cab).
[0026] In this embodiment, forward arrows 99 are provided on the snow pushing indicator strip 92 and the snow shoveling indicator strip 93, and backward arrows 910 are provided on the snow scraping indicator strip 94. The operator can determine the direction of movement of the snowplow by using the forward arrows 99 and the backward arrows 910.
[0027] This invention is applicable to installation on suspended snowplows, push snowplows, and self-powered snowplows.

The boom cylinder drives the snowplow body to move up and down, and the tilt cylinder drives the snow collection cover to rotate the snow pusher plate, lower shovel teeth, upper snow scraper teeth, and contour plate to achieve the required working state.
[0031] Snowplowing status (see) Figure 1When the snowplow blade makes slight contact with the lawn or ground, the lower blade is parallel to the ground and 9-12mm off the ground. The roller moves with the snowplow body, but due to the counterweight, the indicator bar of the status indicator bar coincides with the back side of the snowplow indicator bar. The contouring blade and the side snow guard float and contour under the action of gravity. The snowplow body moves forward in the direction indicated by the forward arrow to complete the snowplowing operation.
[0032] Snow shoveling status (see) Figure 2 When the bottom surface of the front corner of the lower shovel tooth makes slight contact with the lawn or ground, the roller moves with the snowplow body. However, due to the presence of counterweight, the indicator rod of the status indicator rod coincides with the rear side of the snowplow indicator strip. The contouring slide and side snow guard float and contour under the action of gravity. The snowplow body moves forward in the direction indicated by the forward indicator arrow to complete the snowplowing operation.
[0033] Snow scraping status (see) Figure 3 When the upper snow scraper teeth make slight contact with the lawn or ground, the roller moves with the snowplow body. However, due to the presence of counterweight, the indicator bar of the status indicator rod coincides with the back side of the snow scraper indicator bar. The contouring slide makes contact with the ground, the upper snow scraper teeth make contact with the ground, and the snowplow body moves backward in the direction indicated by the backward indicator arrow to complete the snow scraping operation.
