Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of road cleaning and resource recycling, and in particular to an ice and snow removal vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When the road is covered with ice and snow, it will bring great inconvenience to people's daily travel. In order to effectively deal with the problem of road ice and snow coverage, the existing technology usually adopts salt de-icing method, electric heating technology and mechanical de-icing method.

[0003] The traditional de-icing method of spreading salt uses salt substances to lower the melting point of ice, causing it to melt at relatively low temperatures, thereby accelerating the melting of the ice layer. However, its limitations gradually become apparent when faced with large-scale icing. On the one hand, spreading salt for de-icing is inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses certain safety hazards. On the other hand, the long-term use of de-icing salt will bring serious environmental problems, including pollution of soil and water bodies, potential harm to plant growth, and adverse effects on human health. In addition, the corrosiveness of de-icing salt to metal surfaces and infrastructure cannot be ignored, which may cause irreversible damage to road structural materials.

[0004] Traditional mechanical de-icing methods mainly rely on physical force to remove ice and snow from the road surface, such as using snowplows, snow blowers and salt sprayers, which directly remove ice and snow from the road surface through physical force. Mechanical de-icing vehicles perform well in clearing snow because the bonding force between snow and the road surface is relatively low and easy to remove. However, when faced with thick ice layers, the effect of mechanical de-icing is not satisfactory. Excessively thick ice layers require greater force to break, which may cause irreversible damage to the road surface.

[0005] Electric heating technology is an emerging de-icing method. The electric heating system generates heat by heating conductors with electric current, thereby melting the ice. Conductive concrete is made conductive by adding conductive components, which enables it to generate heat when an electric current is applied, effectively achieving the de-icing effect. In addition, laying cables or electric heating pads can also achieve rapid heating and shorten the cleaning time. Compared with salt de-icing, electric heating methods do not pollute the environment, and the heating temperature and time can be precisely controlled, thereby reducing damage to infrastructure. However, electric heating methods have high electricity consumption, especially when applied over large areas, which significantly increases operating costs.

[0006] In summary, existing de-icing methods all have limitations. Salting is inefficient and environmentally harmful, electric heating is expensive, and mechanical de-icing is limited in effectiveness when dealing with thick ice. Summary of the Invention

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. An ice and snow removal vehicle of this embodiment includes: a vehicle body 1, an intelligent sensing system, an ice and snow removal system and an ice and snow recovery system. The vehicle body 1 is provided with a control system, a solar thermal collector 101 and a power system. A heating chamber 102, a water storage chamber 103 and a compression chamber 104 are sequentially provided on the vehicle body 1, and the heating chamber 102 is connected to the water storage chamber 103; the intelligent sensing system is installed on the vehicle body 1 and is used to detect the distribution of ice and snow; the ice and snow removal system includes: a heating roller 2 arranged at the front end of the vehicle body 1, a high-pressure airflow nozzle 3 arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body 1, a high-frequency vibration shovel 4 arranged at the bottom of the heating chamber 102 and an ice crushing conveyor The belt 5 and the snow cleaning assembly are arranged at the bottom of the compression chamber 104. The solar heat collecting device 101 is used to supply heat to the heating roller 2 to heat the ice layer. The high-pressure air flow nozzle 3 sprays air to impact the ice layer. The high-frequency vibration shovel 4 is used to crush the ice layer. The crushed ice conveyor belt 5 is used to transport crushed ice into the heating chamber 102. The snow cleaning assembly is used to clean and transport accumulated snow into the compression chamber 104. The ice and snow recovery system includes: a microwave heating device 6 and a snow block compression device 7. The microwave heating device 6 is arranged in the heating chamber 102 and is used to heat the crushed ice. The snow block compression device 7 is arranged in the compression chamber 104 and is used to compress the accumulated snow into snow blocks.

[0038] Among them, the power system is used to supply energy to the intelligent sensing system, ice and snow removal system and ice and snow recovery system, and the control system is signal-connected or electrically connected to the intelligent sensing system and power system.

[0039] Specifically, the de-icing system integrates three de-icing modes: high-frequency vibration (through a high-frequency vibration shovel 4), thermal melting (through a heating roller 2), and airflow removal (through a high-pressure airflow nozzle 3). In conjunction with an intelligent sensing system to detect the distribution of ice and snow, the system can automatically select the optimal combination scheme according to different ice layer types (thin ice layer, medium ice layer, and thick ice layer). For thin ice layers or uncompacted ice layers (i.e., ice layer thickness <1 cm), a high-pressure airflow mode can be selected (i.e., the control system controls the power system to start the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3); for medium ice layers (i.e., ice layer thickness of 1 cm to 3 cm), a vibration shovel + high-pressure airflow collaborative mode can be selected (i.e., the control system controls the power system to start the high-frequency vibration shovel 4 and the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3); for thick ice layers (i.e., ice layer thickness >3 cm), a vibration shovel + heating roller 2 collaborative mode can be selected (i.e., the control system controls the power system to start the high-frequency vibration shovel 4, and the solar thermal collector 101 and the power system work together to provide heat for the heating roller 2). This significantly improves the efficiency of de-icing operations and overcomes the problem that the existing single de-icing method has limited effectiveness when dealing with different ice layer thicknesses.

[0040] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 is made of high-strength alloy material. Preferably, the vehicle body 1 can be made of high-strength low-alloy steel. High-strength low-alloy steel has excellent low-temperature toughness, can maintain stable material properties in extremely cold environments, and effectively avoid low-temperature brittle fracture. This feature ensures that when the vehicle is operating in an extremely cold environment, even if it is subjected to sudden impact loads such as ice shoveling and collisions, the structure of the vehicle body 1 can remain intact and there is no risk of cracking. At the same time, the material has excellent fatigue resistance and can effectively resist long-term cyclic loads. Under complex working conditions such as continuous vibration and impact (such as driving on bumpy roads, snow removal operations, etc.), fatigue cracks are not easily generated inside the material, thereby greatly extending the service life of the vehicle body 1 structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 includes a cab 105 and a compartment 106, the control system is arranged in the cab 105, the intelligent sensing system is arranged on the cab 105, the heating roller 2 is arranged at the front end of the cab 105, the solar thermal collection device 101 is arranged on the compartment 106, and the equipment compartment 107, the heating compartment 102, the water storage compartment 103 and the compression compartment 104 are arranged in sequence in the compartment 106, and the power system is arranged in the equipment compartment 107.

[0042] In this embodiment, the intelligent sensing system includes: a laser radar 8 and an infrared thermometer 9. The laser radar 8 is arranged on the top of the cab 105 and is used to scan the thickness and distribution of ice and snow on the road surface. The infrared thermometer 9 is arranged at the bottom of the cab 105 and is used to monitor the temperature of ice and snow on the road surface.

[0043] In this embodiment, the power system includes an engine power unit and an electric motor power unit. The engine power unit includes an internal combustion engine 10. The electric motor power unit includes an interconnected generator 11 and an on-board battery pack 12. The internal combustion engine 10 is used to provide power to the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3, the high-frequency vibration shovel 4, the snow block compression device 7 and the generator 11. The on-board battery pack 12 is used to power the intelligent sensing system, the control system, the ice crushing conveyor belt 5, the snow clearing component and the microwave heating device 6.

[0044] In this embodiment, a waste heat recovery device 17 is provided on one side of the internal combustion engine 10. The waste heat recovery device 17 includes a compressor 171, a condenser 172, an expansion valve 173, a first evaporator 174, and a second evaporator 175 connected in sequence through a refrigerant pipeline. Refrigerant is provided in the refrigerant pipeline. The exhaust end of the internal combustion engine 10 is connected to the second evaporator 175 through an exhaust pipe. The solar heat collecting device 101 is connected to the first evaporator 174 through a first antifreeze pipeline. Antifreeze is provided in the first antifreeze pipeline. The heating roller 2 is connected to the condenser 172 through the second antifreeze pipeline. As a result, the waste heat generated by the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine 10 flows through the second evaporator 175, the refrigerant pipeline The refrigerant in the circuit flows into the second evaporator 175, absorbs the waste heat of the exhaust gas, and evaporates into gas; the solar thermal collector 101 absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat energy, thereby heating the antifreeze in the first antifreeze pipeline. The heated antifreeze enters the first evaporator 174, and the gas in the refrigerant pipeline that has evaporated after passing through the second evaporator 175 continues to flow into the first evaporator 174, and absorbs the heat in the first antifreeze pipeline and evaporates into gas again. The hot gas evaporated for the second time enters the condenser 172 through the compressor 171, and the antifreeze in the second antifreeze pipeline absorbs the heat of the hot gas evaporated for the second time at the condenser 172. The heated antifreeze flows into the heating drum 2, thereby playing a heating role.

[0045] After passing through condenser 172 and being slightly cooled, the refrigerant gas in the refrigerant pipeline continues to flow through expansion valve 173. After being throttled by expansion valve 173 to a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture, it flows back into second evaporator 175 for the next heating cycle. Thus, waste heat recovery device 17 integrates the exhaust heat from internal combustion engine 10 with the thermal energy converted from solar energy by solar thermal collector 101. These two heat sources heat heating drum 2, achieving the goal of melting the ice layer and more efficient energy utilization.

[0046] In this embodiment, the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3 includes a main shaft 301 and a rotating rod 302. The main shaft 301 is vertically connected to the bottom of the vehicle body 1. The main shaft 301 has an airflow channel for air to pass through. The rotating rod 302 is tilted and mounted on the rotating rod 302. The axis of the rotating rod 302 forms an angle with the axis of the main shaft 301. The rotating rod 302 rotates about the axis of the main shaft 301. The lower end of the rotating rod 302 has an airflow nozzle 303, which is connected to the airflow channel. As a result, the rotating rod 302 rotates about the axis of the main shaft 301, thereby changing the spray direction of the airflow nozzle 303, thereby increasing the deicing range without the need to frequently move the entire deicing vehicle.

[0047] In this embodiment, a first hydraulic pump 13 is provided on the vehicle body 1, and the first hydraulic pump 13 is connected to the power system. The high-frequency vibration shovel 4 includes: a shovel body 401, a shovel head 402, an arc-shaped connecting rod 403, a rocker arm 404, a push-pull rod 405, and a pressure sensor 406. The upper end of the shovel body 401 is mounted on the vehicle body 1, the arc-shaped connecting rod 403 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the shovel body 401, the shovel head 402 is mounted on one end of the arc-shaped connecting rod 403, the lower end of the rocker arm 404 is connected to the other end of the arc-shaped connecting rod 403, and the other end of the rocker arm 404 is connected to the push-pull rod 405. The push-pull rod 405 is connected to the moving end of the first hydraulic pump 13, and the pressure sensor 406 is mounted on the shovel head 402. Therefore: the pressure sensor 406 is mounted on the shovel head 402 to detect the hardness of the ice layer; for details, see Figure 3 As shown, the push-pull rod 405 is driven to descend by the first hydraulic pump 13, and then the rocker arm 404 is driven to swing. At this time, the rocker arm 404 drives the connection between the rocker arm 404 and the arc-shaped connecting rod 403 to rotate toward the shovel head 402. Therefore, the connection between the arc-shaped connecting rod 403 and the shovel head 402 rotates toward the rocker arm 404, so that the far end of the shovel head 402 is lifted. The push-pull rod 405 is driven to descend and ascend by the first hydraulic pump 13, and the shovel head 402 is driven to ascend and descend under the transmission of the rocker arm 404 and the arc-shaped connecting rod 403, thereby achieving the effect of breaking the ice layer.

[0048] Specifically, the first hydraulic pump 13 is a variable frequency hydraulic pump, which can adjust the vibration frequency of the high-frequency vibration shovel 4 to meet the vibration requirements of different ice thicknesses.

[0049] In this embodiment, the snow clearing assembly includes a snow brush 14 and a snow conveyor belt 15. The snow brush 14 is disposed below the water storage tank 103, and the snow conveyor belt 15 is disposed below the compression tank 104 and is used to convey snow into the compression tank 104. Thus, the snow on the road is cleared by the snow brush 14, and the cleared snow is conveyed into the compression tank 104 by the snow conveyor belt 15 located behind the snow brush 14.

[0050] In this embodiment, the microwave heating device 6 includes: a capacitor 601, a magnetron 602, a waveguide 603, a first fan 604, and a second fan 605. The power system is connected to the capacitor 601, which is connected to the magnetron 602. The first fan 604 is located near the magnetron 602. One end of the waveguide 603 is connected to the magnetron 602, and the other end of the waveguide 603 is inserted into the inner wall of the heating chamber 102. The second fan 605 is located within the heating chamber 102. Thus, the heating chamber 102 is heated by the waveguide 603, melting the crushed ice therein into water. The first fan 604 dissipates heat from the magnetron 602 to prevent damage caused by excessive temperatures. The second fan 605 is located within the heating chamber 102 to drive the flow of hot air within the heating chamber 102, thereby improving melting uniformity and efficiency.

[0051] Specifically, a water level sensor 16 is provided on the top of the water storage tank.

[0052] In this embodiment, the snow compression device 7 includes a second hydraulic pump 701, a telescopic rod 702, and a pressure plate 703. The second hydraulic pump 701 is connected to the power system, the telescopic rod 702 is mounted on the moving end of the second hydraulic pump 701, and the pressure plate 703 is mounted on the lower end of the telescopic rod 702. Thus, the second hydraulic pump 701 drives the telescopic plate to extend and retract, which in turn causes the pressure plate 703 to compress the accumulated snow, forming high-density snow blocks for use in snowmaking sites or fire drills, thereby achieving sustainable resource utilization.

[0053] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0054] Step S1: Preliminary preparations: After starting the snow and ice removal vehicle, the control system performs a self-check procedure, i.e., checks the status of the power system and the intelligent sensor system;

[0055] Step S2: Scanning operation: the laser radar 8 scans the thickness and distribution of ice and snow on the road surface, and the infrared thermometer 9 monitors the temperature of ice and snow on the road surface. The scanning monitoring results are fed back to the control system, and the control system selects an ice and snow removal plan based on the monitoring results.

[0056] Step S3: Job processing:

[0057] For snow processing (i.e., the laser radar 8 detects that the road surface is only covered with snow), the control system controls the power system to start the snow brush 14 and the snow conveyor belt 15. The snow brush 14 clears the snow, and the snow conveyor belt 15 transports the snow to the compression chamber 104.

[0058] For thin ice or uncompacted ice (i.e., the thickness of the ice layer on the road detected by the laser radar 8 is less than 1 cm), the control system controls the power system to activate the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3 to impact the ice layer, activate the ice crushing conveyor belt 5 to convey the crushed ice to the heating chamber 102, and activate the snow brush 14 to sweep away the crushed ice.

[0059] For medium ice layer treatment (i.e., the thickness of the ice layer on the road detected by the laser radar 8 is 1 cm to 3 cm), the control system controls the power system to start the high-frequency vibration shovel 4 to break the ice layer and start the high-pressure air flow nozzle 3 to impact the ice layer;

[0060] For thick ice treatment (i.e., the thickness of the road ice layer detected by the laser radar 8 is greater than 3 cm), the solar thermal collector 101 and the power system work together to provide heat to the heating roller 2 to heat the ice layer. The control system controls the power system to activate the high-frequency vibration shovel 4 to break the ice layer, activate the crushed ice conveyor belt 5 to transport the crushed ice to the heating bin 102, and activate the snow brush 14 to sweep the crushed ice.

[0061] Step S4: The control system controls the power system to start the microwave heating device 6 to heat the crushed ice in the heating chamber 102, and the crushed ice melts into water and is stored in the water storage chamber 103;

[0062] Step S5: The control system controls the power system to start the snow block compression device 7 to compress the accumulated snow into high-density snow blocks;

[0063] Step S6, post-operation processing work, the external high-pressure water gun is connected to the water storage tank 103, and the heating drum 2, the high-pressure airflow nozzle 3, the high-frequency vibration shovel 4, the ice crushing conveyor belt 5 and the snow cleaning component are flushed by the high-pressure water gun, and antifreeze is applied on the outer wall of the heating drum 2.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] (1) The present invention provides an intelligent sensing system to monitor the distribution and thickness of ice and snow in real time. The control system optimizes the de-icing operation path and controls the power system to provide power to the de-icing system or the ice and snow recovery system, making the de-icing and snow removal operations more targeted and efficient, thereby improving resource utilization.

[0066] (2) The present invention integrates three de-icing modes, namely, high-frequency vibration (via high-frequency vibration shovel 4), thermal melting (via heating roller 2) and airflow removal (via high-pressure airflow nozzle 3), through the de-icing system. It can automatically select the optimal combination scheme according to different ice layer types (thin ice layer, medium ice layer, thick ice layer), significantly improve the de-icing efficiency, and overcome the problem that the existing single de-icing method has limited effect when facing different ice layer thicknesses;

[0067] (3) The present invention combines the solar energy heat collecting device 101 with the power system to form a solar energy-waste heat composite heating system to heat the heating drum 2. Compared with the pure electric heating technology, it can more effectively utilize energy and reduce energy consumption;

[0068] (4) The present invention provides a heating chamber 102, a water storage chamber 103 and a compression chamber 104, and cooperates with a microwave heating device 6 to heat and melt the recovered crushed ice into liquid water, which can be used for road spraying or farmland irrigation. The snow block compression device 7 compresses the accumulated snow into high-density snow blocks, which can be used in snowmaking sites or fire drills, thereby achieving sustainable utilization of resources.

[0069] The above description is intended to serve as a guide for the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
