Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of road de-icing equipment, and more particularly to a de-icing machine suitable for various terrains. Background Technology

[0002] In cold regions, snow and ice accumulation on roads are common during winter and early spring. Once icy, the road's friction coefficient drops drastically, seriously threatening normal transportation and travel safety. Manual de-icing is labor-intensive, inefficient, and unsafe, and can no longer meet the growing demand. Road de-icing machines can replace manual de-icing; they are simple to operate, safe, and highly efficient, and are now widely used in northern cities.

[0003] Existing road de-icing machines primarily use an ice-breaking roller as their core working component. The roller's surface has blades that mechanically break up the ice layer on the road surface as it rotates. To protect the road surface, the ice-breaking roller, and ensure continuous de-icing operations, the ice-breaking roller in existing road de-icing machines cannot be too close to the road surface; a proper gap must always be maintained. Therefore, existing road de-icing machines often struggle to completely remove ice from the road, leaving a thin layer of ice on the road surface after de-icing. Furthermore, the cylindrical shape of the ice-breaking roller at the front end of existing road de-icing machines makes it difficult to reach corners and edges, making such de-icing equipment unsuitable for handling stepped or uneven road surfaces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that existing road de-icing machines are difficult to handle stepped surfaces and roads with poor surface smoothness, and a thin layer of ice is still easily left on the road surface after de-icing operations.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a de-icing machine suitable for various terrains, including a carrier and an impact ice-breaking component and a rotary ice-breaking component installed on the carrier;

[0006] The impact ice-breaking assembly includes an ice-breaking shovel, a mounting base, a spring, and a vibration mechanism. The ice-breaking shovel is fixed on the mounting base and is in a vertical position. A support frame is provided on the carrier, and a cylindrical part is provided on the mounting base. The cylindrical part is inserted into the support frame, and the spring is sleeved on the cylindrical part. The vibration mechanism drives the mounting base and the ice-breaking shovel to vibrate.

[0007] The rotary ice-breaking assembly is located after the impact ice-breaking assembly. The rotary ice-breaking assembly is equipped with a rotating ice-breaking drum, and the surface of the ice-breaking drum is equipped with a shovel.

[0008] The de-icing machine of this invention employs a combined impact ice-breaking component and a rotary ice-breaking component for ice breaking. The ice-breaking blade applies force from above the ice layer in a direction perpendicular to the ice layer, causing the ice layer on the road surface to crack. The rotary ice-breaking component uses blades on the surface of the ice-breaking roller to apply a force parallel to the ice surface, causing the cracked ice layer to separate from the road. This combined ice-breaking method applies forces in two directions to the ice layer on the road surface, enabling more thorough separation of the ice layer from the road and reducing residual ice on the road surface after de-icing. On the other hand, the impact ice-breaking component has lower requirements for road smoothness and can be applied to more terrains.

[0009] To facilitate the removal of ice from steps and corners, this invention features a square ice-breaking shovel with serrated front and bottom ends. The square ice-breaking shovel can reach the top and sides of steps, as well as the corners where roads meet walls.

[0010] Specifically, the vibration mechanism includes a crankshaft, a connecting rod, and a sleeve. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the crankshaft, and the other end is hinged to one end of the sleeve. The other end of the sleeve is inserted into the cylindrical part. The crankshaft drives the sleeve to reciprocate on the cylindrical part through the connecting rod. During the reciprocating motion, the inside of the sleeve continuously impacts the cylindrical part of the mounting base, causing the mounting base and the ice-breaking shovel to vibrate continuously.

[0011] Specifically, the rotating ice-breaking assembly also includes a rotating shaft, a rotating motor, and a coupling. The ice-breaking drum is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the coupling.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating ice-breaking assembly also includes a vibration motor and an eccentric block. The vibration motor is fixed inside the ice-breaking drum, and the eccentric block is connected to the output shaft of the vibration motor. The vibration motor drives the eccentric block to rotate, thereby causing the ice-breaking drum to vibrate to a certain extent, which makes the ice-breaking drum more effective at removing ice.

[0013] Furthermore, the de-icing machine also includes a heater located between the impact ice-breaking assembly and the rotary ice-breaking assembly. The heater can partially melt the ice layer on the road surface, facilitating the separation of the ice layer from the road. Specifically, the heater includes a heating shroud and a microwave heating wall installed inside the heating shroud.

[0014] Furthermore, the vehicle is equipped with a lifting platform, which includes an outer frame, a tie rod, a first telescopic rod, and a second telescopic rod. One end of the tie rod is hinged to the outer frame, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle. One end of the first telescopic rod is hinged to the middle of the tie rod, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle. One end of the second telescopic rod is hinged to the outer frame, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle. The height of the lifting platform can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first and second telescopic rods.

[0015] The impact ice-breaking assembly, support frame, rotary ice-breaking assembly, and heater are all mounted on the outer frame of the lifting platform. When the de-icing machine is performing de-icing operations, the height of the impact ice-breaking assembly, rotary ice-breaking assembly, and heater can be changed by the lifting platform to adapt to different road environments.

[0016] Furthermore, the de-icing machine also includes an ice removal assembly, which includes a drive wheel assembly, a chain, and a scraper. The chain is wound around the drive wheel assembly, and the scraper is mounted on the chain. After the ice fragments generated by the impact ice breaking assembly and the rotary ice breaking assembly are left on the road surface, the ice removal assembly is placed horizontally in front of the vehicle, and the chain and scraper continuously push the ice fragments to both sides of the road.

[0017] To facilitate application to various terrains, the vehicle in this invention should preferably be a tracked vehicle.

[0018] Beneficial effects: (1) The de-icing machine of the present invention uses an impact ice-breaking component and a rotary ice-breaking component to apply two forces, one vertical and one horizontal, to the ice layer on the road surface, making the separation of the ice layer from the road more thorough, reducing the residual ice on the road surface after de-icing, and improving the de-icing effect. (2) The de-icing machine of the present invention sets the impact ice-breaking component at the front end and designs the ice-breaking shovel as square, so that the ice-breaking shovel can reach the top and vertical surfaces of the steps, as well as the angle between the road and the wall, so that the de-icing machine of the present invention can perform de-icing operations in more areas and has a wider range of applications. (3) The de-icing machine of the present invention sets a vibration motor and an eccentric block inside the ice-breaking drum, so that the ice-breaking drum has a vibration function and the de-icing effect is better. (4) The de-icing machine of the present invention sets the impact ice-breaking component and the rotary ice-breaking component on the lifting platform. During the de-icing operation, the height of the impact ice-breaking component and the rotary ice-breaking component can be flexibly adjusted according to the road conditions, which can meet the de-icing needs while reducing the wear and tear on the road and the de-icing components.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the de-icing machine of this embodiment, suitable for various terrains, includes a carrier 100, an impact ice-breaking assembly 200, a rotary ice-breaking assembly 300, a heater 400, and an ice-removing assembly 500.

[0030] The vehicle 100 is a tracked vehicle, and a lifting platform 110 is provided on the vehicle 100. The lifting platform 110 includes an outer frame 111, a tie rod 112, a first telescopic rod 113 and a second telescopic rod 114. One end of the tie rod 112 is hinged to the outer frame 111, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle 100. One end of the first telescopic rod 113 is hinged to the middle of the tie rod 112, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle 100. One end of the second telescopic rod 114 is hinged to the outer frame 111, and the other end is hinged to the vehicle 100. The height of the lifting platform 110 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the first telescopic rod 113 and the second telescopic rod 114.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the impact ice-breaking assembly 200 includes an ice-breaking shovel 210, a mounting base 220, a spring 230, and a vibration mechanism 240. The ice-breaking shovel 210 is fixed on the mounting base 220, and is in a vertical position. The ice-breaking shovel 210 is square, and its front and bottom ends are serrated. A support frame 115 is provided on the outer frame 111 of the lifting platform 110. A columnar part 221 is provided on the mounting base 220, and the columnar part 221 is inserted into the support frame 115. The spring 230 is sleeved on the columnar part 221. 21; The vibration mechanism 240 includes a crankshaft 241, a connecting rod 242 and a sleeve 243. One end of the connecting rod 242 is hinged to the crankshaft 241, and the other end is hinged to one end of the sleeve 243. The other end of the sleeve 243 is inserted into the cylindrical part 221. The crankshaft 241 drives the sleeve 243 to reciprocate on the cylindrical part 221 through the connecting rod 242. During the reciprocating motion, the inside of the sleeve 243 continuously impacts the cylindrical part 221 of the mounting seat 220, causing the mounting seat 220 and the ice-breaking shovel 210 to vibrate continuously.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotary ice-breaking assembly 300 includes an ice-breaking drum 310, a rotating shaft 320, a rotary motor 330, a coupling 340, a vibrating motor, and an eccentric block. The surface of the ice-breaking drum 310 is provided with a scraper. The ice-breaking drum 310 is mounted on the rotating shaft 320. The rotary motor 330 drives the rotating shaft 320 to rotate through the coupling 340. The vibrating motor is fixed inside the ice-breaking drum 310. The eccentric block is connected to the output shaft of the vibrating motor. The vibrating motor drives the eccentric block to rotate, thereby causing the ice-breaking drum 310 to vibrate to a certain extent, so that the ice-breaking drum 310 has a better de-icing effect.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the heater 400 includes a heating cover 410 and a microwave heating wall installed inside the heating cover 410. The heater 400 is fixed on the outer frame 111 of the lifting platform 110. The heater 400 is located between the impact ice-breaking assembly 200 and the rotary ice-breaking assembly 300. The heater 400 is used to melt the ice layer and facilitate easier separation of the ice layer from the road.

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the ice removal assembly 500 includes a drive wheel assembly 510, a chain 520, and a scraper 530. The chain 520 is wound around the drive wheel assembly 510, and the scraper 530 is mounted on the chain 520. After the ice fragments generated by the impact ice breaking assembly 200 and the rotary ice breaking assembly 300 are left on the road surface, the ice removal assembly 500 is placed horizontally in front of the vehicle 100, and the chain 520 and the scraper 530 continuously push the ice fragments to both sides of the road.

[0035] The de-icing machine of this embodiment is suitable for handling ice on smooth paved roads, uneven roads, steps, and at the angles where roads meet walls. When clearing smooth or uneven roads, the impact ice-breaking component 200 and the rotary ice-breaking component 300 are activated together. The ice-breaking shovel 210 applies force from above the ice layer in a direction perpendicular to the ice layer, causing the ice layer on the road surface to crack. The blades on the surface of the ice-breaking roller 310 apply a force parallel to the ice surface, causing the cracked ice layer to separate from the road. This combined ice-breaking method applies force to the ice layer on the road surface in two directions, enabling more thorough separation of the ice layer from the road and reducing residual ice on the road surface after de-icing. When dealing with ice on steps and at the angles where roads meet walls, only the impact ice-breaking component 200 needs to be activated. The square ice-breaking shovel 210 continuously impacts the ice layer in the corner, causing the ice surface to separate from the steps and the road.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in the specification, these embodiments are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Various omissions, substitutions, and modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
