[0001] This invention relates to the field of snowplow production and application, specifically to a vehicle-mounted snowplow. Background Art

[0002] The following problems exist in the use of existing snowplows: simple structural design: early snowplows were mostly simple flat structures with the blade material mainly being metal or hard plastic; secondly, low degree of automation: traditional manual snowplows rely entirely on human operation and it is difficult to automatically adjust parameters such as blade angle and height according to road conditions and snow conditions.

[0003] Solving the above-mentioned technical problems is a pressing technical challenge that needs to be addressed at this stage.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0009] Most notably, the adjustment mechanism includes the angle adjustment component and the level adjustment component.

[0010] The angle adjustment assembly includes a wall support cylinder located at the bottom of the front flap and a front crossbar located on the front flap. The tail end of the front crossbar is hinged to the middle of the upper edge of the front flap, and the head end of the front crossbar is connected to the outer wall of the bucket.

[0011] The horizontal adjustment assembly includes a truncated pyramid frame disposed at the bottom of the front flip plate. The bottom of the truncated pyramid frame is hinged to the bottom of the front flip plate. The truncated pyramid frame can be folded towards the front flip plate. The head end of the truncated pyramid frame is connected to the bucket via a connecting frame. Swing hydraulic cylinders are disposed on both sides of the truncated pyramid frame. The swing hydraulic cylinders are hinged to the connecting frame.

[0012] Most notably, the connecting frame includes a connecting seat and a connecting rod disposed on the connecting seat. The upper surfaces of both ends of the connecting rod are hinged to the bucket, and the ends of the connecting rod and the hydraulic cylinder are hinged to the outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0013] The end of the front crossbar is connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat via a floating chain.

[0014] Most notably, the truncated pyramid frame is also equipped with support legs on both sides.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This invention achieves the adjustment of angle and horizontal swing angle through an adjustment mechanism, thereby enabling the snowplow to meet the snow removal needs at different heights and angles, and achieving the purpose of optimizing the snowplow structure, improving the automation of snowplow use, and increasing snow removal efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle-mounted snowplow structure disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0019] The numbers and letters in the diagram represent the names of the corresponding components:

[0020] 1. Front flap 3. Bucket 211. Support cylinder 212. Front crossbar 213. Floating chain 221. Frustum frame 222. Swing hydraulic cylinder

[0021] 231. Connecting seat 232. Connecting rod 24. Support leg. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This invention provides a vehicle-mounted snowplow, which works by adjusting the angle and horizontal swing angle through an adjustment mechanism. This allows the snowplow to meet snow removal needs at different heights and angles, thereby optimizing the snowplow structure, improving the automation of snowplow use, and increasing snow removal efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and specific implementation methods.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle-mounted snowplow includes a front flap 1, a bucket 3, and an adjustment mechanism 2 disposed between the front flap and the bucket. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the angle of the bucket relative to the ground, and can also adjust the left and right swing of the bucket in the horizontal plane.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism includes the angle adjustment component and the horizontal adjustment component;

[0027] The angle adjustment assembly includes a wall support cylinder 211 located at the bottom of the front flap and a front crossbar 212 located on the front flap. The tail end of the front crossbar is hinged to the middle of the upper edge of the front flap, and the head end of the front crossbar is connected to the outer wall of the bucket.

[0028] The horizontal adjustment assembly includes a truncated pyramid frame 221 disposed at the bottom of the front flip plate. The bottom of the truncated pyramid frame is hinged to the bottom of the front flip plate. The truncated pyramid frame can be folded towards the front flip plate. The head end of the truncated pyramid frame is connected to the bucket through a connecting frame. Swing hydraulic cylinders 222 are disposed on both sides of the truncated pyramid frame. The swing hydraulic cylinders are hinged to the connecting frame.

[0029] The left and right sides employ swing-type hydraulic cylinders that work together to control the lateral tilt angle of the snowplow, providing precise tilt angle control while offering strong support to clear snow to both sides of the road. The upper support cylinder controls the downward pressure between the bucket and the ground, minimizing ground damage and facilitating mobile equipment movement.

[0030] In another embodiment, the connecting frame includes a connecting seat 231 and a connecting rod 232 disposed on the connecting seat, the upper surfaces of both ends of the connecting rod being hinged to the bucket, and the ends of the connecting rod and the hydraulic cylinder being hinged to the outer side wall of the connecting rod;

[0031] The end of the front crossbar is connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat via a floating chain 213. The floating chain 213 allows the snowplow to conform to the ground shape during operation by applying downward pressure, ensuring effective snow removal.

[0032] In another embodiment, the frustum frame is further provided with legs 24 on both sides.

[0033] Furthermore, the entire machine is controlled via remote-controlled hydraulic actuation. The remote control operates the hydraulic valve station, which uses a multi-core signal cable to connect to the hydraulic station, allowing operation from the cab. The machine connects directly to the car battery via a power cord, eliminating the need for an external power source. In practical applications, the bucket consists of two parts: the bucket itself and the lower flap. A spring and pin connect the bucket and the lower flap, allowing the lower flap to flip over obstacles no higher than 100mm, preventing damage to the equipment and vehicle. The rear of the machine uses a pin connection, allowing the bucket to slide vertically and horizontally, conforming to the ground and minimizing ground damage.

[0034] Through the above methods, the vehicle-mounted snowplow provided by this invention can adjust the angle and the swing angle in the horizontal plane through the adjustment mechanism, so that the snowplow can meet the snow removal needs of different heights and angles, thereby achieving the purpose of optimizing the snowplow structure, improving the automation of snowplow use and improving snow removal efficiency.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted snowplow disclosed in this invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
