[0057] Working principle and usage process:

[0058] After the operator parks the de-icing vehicle at a suitable position, the operator starts the mechanical arm 18, which drives the mounting plate 1 to move, thereby moving the two flexible sponges 9 to both sides of the wing. By delivering high-pressure steam to the inside of the delivery pipe 24, the steam will enter the inside of the fixed pipe 27 through the heat-resistant hose 26, and then be sprayed out by the nozzle 28, thereby clearing the ice covering the outer surface of the wing and allowing the ice to melt quickly.

[0059] When the ice on the outer surface of the wing melts and loosens, the first motor 13 can be started to make the rotating shaft 14 drive the first gear 15 to rotate, and then the first gear 15 drives the second gear 17 to rotate. Since the outer surfaces of the first gear 15 and the second gear 17 are meshed with the inner surface of the toothed plate 10, the first gear 15 and the second gear 17 can drive the toothed plate 10 to move rightward, so that the connecting plate 11 and the round rod 12 move rightward, and the outer surface of the round rod 12 will squeeze and push the inner surface of the slide groove 5, so that the rotating rod 4 rotates around the circular shaft 3 as the axis, so that the two rotating rods 4 gradually approach each other, so that the two flexible sponges 9 can contact the outer surface of the wing. After being subjected to pressure, the spring 7 will push the movable block 8 outward, so that the flexible sponge 9 can fit the outer surface of the wing. When the mechanical arm 18 moves, it will drive the flexible sponge 9 to move, so that the flexible sponge 9 can simultaneously push away and scrape off the loose ice on both sides of the wing, thereby improving the de-icing efficiency.

[0060] When the operator de-ices the aircraft at night, the operator can start the lighting lamp 32 so that the lighting lamp 32 can play a lighting role, thereby facilitating the operator to perform de-icing operations. The operator can start the pneumatic cylinder 35 so that the pneumatic cylinder 35 drives the lighting lamp 32 to rotate around the cylinder 31 as the axis, and then adjust the angle of the lighting lamp 32, thereby adjusting the lighting angle, which is convenient for the operator to use and improves the flexibility of the device.
