Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a snowplow for aircraft, belonging to the technical field of aircraft. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft, these marvels soaring through the blue sky, soar freely through the atmosphere with their delicate wings and powerful propulsion systems. Civil airliners, as a key member of the aircraft family, not only carry the dreams and expectations of countless passengers but are also an indispensable part of the modern transportation network. However, in extreme weather conditions such as winter, when night falls and the winds are biting, the wings of these giant steel birds are often covered with a layer of frost or snow. While this natural phenomenon is beautiful, it poses a potential threat to flight safety. The presence of ice and snow can seriously interfere with the airflow characteristics of the wing surface, thereby affecting the stability and controllability of the entire aircraft.
[0003] To ensure that every takeoff is safe and smooth, effective measures must be taken to remove these obstacles. The currently commonly used method is to use specially designed snow removal vehicles for operations. This type of equipment is usually equipped with a body that stores de-icing fluid, a flexibly movable robotic arm, an operating cabin at the end of the arm, and a spraying device installed in the cabin. The specific operation process is: first, the vehicle is driven to the aircraft to be processed. Then, the staff enters the operating cabin and controls the robotic arm to move the spraying device above the target area. Finally, the nozzle is activated to release de-icing fluid to dissolve and wash away the ice and snow layer attached to the wing surface.
[0004] Although the above solution is relatively mature and widely used, it still has some shortcomings. For example, under the manual intervention mode, due to factors such as limited vision and differences in experience, it is often necessary to adjust the position multiple times to complete full coverage, which undoubtedly increases the overall operation time. In addition, ice may form on the edges of the wings, and these locations are very likely to be ignored and not properly handled, resulting in a high probability of ice and snow remaining on the aircraft wings after subsequent snow removal, which will affect the effect and quality of snow removal.

[0050] Then, the deicing liquid stored in the box of the vehicle body 1 is heated, and then the heated deicing liquid is transported to the main pipe 9 through the connecting pipe 92. Then, the heated deicing liquid in the main pipe 9 is sprayed onto the surface of the wing of the aircraft through multiple nozzles 91. At the same time, the second motor 28, the first screw rod 27 and the nut seat 26 and other components are used to move the mounting plate 7, the first plate 4 and other components to the right along the wing of the aircraft. When the nut seat 26 moves to the right limit position, if the main pipe 9 still does not move to the tail end of the wing of the aircraft, the third motor 24 is started again. 1, thereby driving the corresponding second screw rod 242 to rotate, and causing the corresponding sprocket 244 to rotate, and with the assistance of the chain, the two sprockets 244 rotate synchronously, thereby causing the two second screw rods 242 to rotate synchronously. Because the second screw rods 242 are connected to the movable seat 243 through a ball nut pair, the synchronous rotation of the two second screw rods 242 simultaneously causes the two movable seats 243 to move to the right synchronously, thereby causing the third frame 25, the first frame 2 and other components to move to the right, and then causing the manifold 9 to continue to move to the right along the wing of the aircraft;
[0051] At the same time, the main pipe 9 is U-shaped, so that the multiple nozzles 91 are in a U-shaped structure, and then the nozzles 91 installed at the vertical portion of the main pipe 9 will spray heated de-icing liquid toward the side of the aircraft wing, realizing a comprehensive mechanical snow removal operation on the aircraft wing, effectively reducing the probability of residual ice and snow during snow removal due to factors such as ice formation on the side of the aircraft wing, effectively reducing working time, and effectively ensuring the snow removal effect and quality;
[0052] If the wing of the aircraft is in a state of being wide inside and narrow outside, when the main pipe 9 moves outward along the wing of the aircraft, the turntable 5, the first motor 6, the gear 61, the first rack 72, the second rack 74, the two first guide wheels 51 and the two second guide wheels 52 and other components are simultaneously used to gradually reduce the distance between the first plate 4 and the second plate 8, and gradually shorten the length of the transverse portion of the main pipe 9, so that the distance between the nozzle 91 and the aircraft wing is guaranteed to be within a normal range, and the heated de-icing liquid is effectively sprayed on the surface of the aircraft wing, effectively reducing the probability of non-contact between the sprayed heated de-icing liquid and the surface of the aircraft wing, effectively reducing the probability of residual ice and snow on the surface of the aircraft wing, and effectively ensuring the snow removal effect and quality;
[0053] In addition, as the main pipe 9 moves outward along the wing of the aircraft, with the assistance of multiple first bull's eye balls 43 and multiple second bull's eye balls 84, the first clamping frame 42 and the second clamping frame 83 both move along the side of the aircraft wing, so that the aircraft wing is always in a clamping state. If the wing of the aircraft is designed to be at an angle to the fuselage of the aircraft, the clamping of the aircraft wing by the first clamping frame 42 and the second clamping frame 83 will cause the multiple round rods 31 to move evenly outward along the movable block 3 during movement, thereby automatically adjusting the distance between the movable block 3 and components such as the main pipe 9, effectively reducing the probability of interference between the nozzle 91 on the upper side of the main pipe 9 and the aircraft wing, effectively ensuring that the heated deicing fluid can be sprayed normally onto the surface of the aircraft wing, and effectively ensuring the snow removal effect and quality.
[0054] Example 2: Through the mechanical cooperation of the vehicle body 1, the fourth motor 251, the bidirectional screw rod 252, the first electric push rod 33, the second motor 28, the first screw rod 27, the fourth motor 251, the bidirectional screw rod 252, the first motor 6, the gear 61, the turntable 5, the two first guide wheels 51, the two second guide wheels 52, the first rack 72, the second rack 74, the first clamping frame 42 and the second clamping frame 83, the wing of the aircraft is effectively clamped. On this basis, the pre-sprayed material is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the wing of the aircraft through the connecting pipe 92, the main pipe 9 and the nozzle 91. The de-icing fluid is heated first, thereby achieving comprehensive and meticulous mechanical snow removal operations. However, during this process, the tail of the engine of some aircraft will extend beyond the edge of the wing. This structural layout can easily lead to accidental collisions between the moving main pipe 9 and its accessories and the extended part of the engine, thereby interfering with the smooth progress of the entire snow removal process. In addition, the upper surface of these protruding parts often becomes an ideal place for snowflakes to accumulate. Due to the existence of visual blind spots, the ice and snow in this area are difficult to be effectively removed, increasing the risk of residual ice and snow, which undoubtedly poses a hidden danger to subsequent flight safety.
[0055] In order to solve the above problems, Figures 9-11As shown, the third arm 852, which is arranged to be higher in the front and lower in the back and is located on the lower side of the main pipe 9, is installed on the rear end of the lower part of the auxiliary plate 82, and the upper end of the function plate 85 with an arc-shaped cross section is movably connected to the other end of the third arm 852. The function plate 85 and the auxiliary plate 82 are movably connected through the third arm 852, and then a plurality of third bull's eye balls 851 with an arc-shaped structure are equidistantly installed on the lower end of the function plate 85. The plurality of third bull's eye balls 851 are used in combination to enable the function plate 85 to move along the upper surface of the aircraft engine part.
[0056] During use, the vehicle body 1, the fourth motor 251, the bidirectional screw rod 252, the first movable plate 253, the second movable plate 255, the plurality of first arms 254, the plurality of second arms 256, the first electric push rod 33, the movable plate 32, the plurality of round rods 31, the second motor 28, the first screw rod 27 and the nut seat 26 are first used to move the manifold 9 to the position just above the connection position between the wing portion of the aircraft and the fuselage of the aircraft. Then, the fourth motor 251, the bidirectional screw rod 252, the first movable plate 253, the second movable plate 255, the plurality of first arms 254 and the plurality of second arms 256 and other components are used to move the manifold 9, the first clamping frame 42 and the second clamping frame 83 downward to a suitable position. Then, the second electric push rod 45 and the frame 44 are used to make the mounting plate 7 and other components parallel to the wing portion of the aircraft.
[0057] The first motor 6, gear 61, turntable 5, two first guide wheels 51, two second guide wheels 52, first rack 72, second rack 74, first plate 4, second plate 8, first clamping frame 42, and second clamping frame 83 are then used to clamp the wing of the aircraft. Then, heated deicing fluid is sprayed onto the surface of the wing of the aircraft through connecting pipe 92, main pipe 9, and nozzle 91. Simultaneously, the second motor 28, first screw rod 27, nut seat 26, third motor 241, two second screw rods 242, and two moving seats 243 are used to move the mounting plate 7, first plate 4, and other components to the right along the wing of the aircraft, thereby performing a comprehensive mechanical snow removal operation on the wing of the aircraft.
[0058] If the tail side of the aircraft's engine section extends outward from the aircraft's wing section, when the main pipe 9 moves outward along the aircraft's wing section, the third bull's eye ball 851 first contacts the aircraft's engine section extension, thereby lifting the third bull's eye ball 851 upward, causing the functional panel 85 to move upward, and with the assistance of the third arm 852, the auxiliary panel 82 swings around the hinged portion between the auxiliary panel 82 and the second panel 8, thereby causing the main pipe 9 and the auxiliary panel 82 connection portion to move outward, thereby causing the nozzle direction of the corresponding nozzle 91 to change and face the aircraft's engine section extension. At this time, the corresponding nozzle 91 sprays heated de-icing fluid onto the aircraft's engine section extension, thereby performing snow removal operations on the aircraft's engine section extension and ensuring that the main pipe 9 can move normally along the aircraft's wing section, effectively reducing the probability of collisions between the main pipe 9, the second panel 8 and other components and the aircraft's wing section, effectively reducing the probability of ice and snow remaining on the aircraft's wing section, and effectively ensuring the snow removal effect and quality.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
