Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] It belongs to the fields of road transportation and daily life services technology. Background Technology
[0002] In response to snowy weather, people take measures such as shoveling and clearing snow from roads, spreading salt on snow-covered roads to melt the snow, and using bulldozers to push away snow to clear traffic. Some of these methods and technologies are still very primitive and passive, and they require a lot of manpower, material resources, and money. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the above situation, this invention provides a road protection facility, specifically a protective facility suitable for use in northern winters to proactively defend against the hazards of snow accumulation on roads. (Hereinafter referred to as: winter protection facility). The structure of the winter protection facility includes: columns, beams, arches, windbreaks, reinforcing ribs, metal mesh, and secondary arches. The columns, beams, arches, reinforcing ribs, metal mesh, windbreaks, and secondary arches (supports) together form a long canopy to shield roads and a round canopy for leisure and recreation. The construction of the long and round canopies eliminates the tedious task of clearing snow from roads and grounds, and solves the problem of snow and wind disrupting production and daily life. The winter protection facility utilizes the snow accumulation in winter, combined with the reinforcing ribs and metal mesh, forming a sturdy ice layer with a framework and snow filling. Supported by the support structure formed by the columns and beams, this layer effectively shields roads from snow accumulation; that is, it uses snow to resist snow. Prefabricated blocks, including main columns, beams, and arches, are constructed in advance according to road conditions, environmental conditions, and site specifications. Reinforcing ribs and metal mesh are layered together to form precast blocks, along with secondary arches (supports). These are then assembled on-site. During installation, the main columns, beams, and arches are first connected and fixed into a frame. The reinforced metal mesh and secondary arches (supports) are then fixed onto this frame. When snow falls, it settles on the metal mesh, clogging the mesh openings and accumulating into a snow layer. The reinforcing ribs and metal mesh form a solid framework for the snow, creating a robust protective structure that both shelters from wind and snow. This method can be used to build long canopies along roads and streets. Windbreaks or secondary arches (supports) can be installed on both sides of the canopy to prevent snow from being blown onto roads and sidewalks, ensuring the passage of vehicles and pedestrians. Round canopies can also be built in parks and open areas for recreational purposes. Winter protection facilities are a proactive method of resisting wind and snow, alleviating the direct impact of ice and snow on people during winter, ensuring smooth vehicle transportation and safe travel for pedestrians. Winter protection facilities, including long and round sheds constructed using this method, require few materials, have a simple structure, are easy to install, and are inexpensive. These facilities offer significant public benefit and have a wide reach, making them the best option for protecting roads and public places from wind and snow in northern winters.

[0005] Specific implementation method: According to the design specifications and standards, (1) columns, (2) beams, (3) arches, (4) windbreaks, (5) reinforcing ribs, (6) metal mesh, (9) secondary arches (frames) and (A) circular, (B) right-angled (square), (C) triangular (3) arches are prefabricated in the factory. The reinforcing ribs (4) and (5) metal mesh are welded together with thick steel bars (e.g., Figure 4 E). In winter protection facilities, (1) columns and (2) beams are load-bearing structures in the construction. They are made of large metal round (pipes) and square (pipes) to form supports; any type of arch is installed, such as (A) round, (B) square (right angle), or (B) triangular. (1) Columns, (2) beams, (3) arches, and (9) secondary arches (frames) are installed as supports by connectors or welding. Metal mesh with (5) reinforcing ribs (6) is laid on the supports to form a long shed. (6) The metal mesh is made of stainless steel wire mesh; the wire mesh is not afraid of wind in normal times, and can block snow accumulation when it snows, preventing and avoiding snow from falling directly on the road. On the windward side of the road, the (4) windbreak should be raised to below the 3 arch (fully covered) to prevent strong winds from blowing snow into the long shed and causing the road surface to freeze; on the leeward side of the road, the (4) windbreak does not need to be raised, and a space can be left above the (4) windbreak and below the (3) arch without installing the (5) metal mesh, which can save some of the (5) metal mesh. Long sheds can be built on highways, national roads, provincial roads, county roads, township roads, and streets (e.g.: Figure 1 As shown, it is for vehicle passage; among the winter protection facilities on the street, the (6) metal mesh of the long canopy extends to both sides to set (9) secondary arches to cover the snow on the sidewalk and facilitate pedestrian movement, such as ( Figure 5As shown in the figure. The long canopy built on the road and the round canopy built in the park and open space are constructed by means of (1) columns, (2) beams, (3) arches, (4) windbreaks, (5) reinforcing bars, (6) metal mesh, and 9 arches (supports). They are long canopies built on the road and round canopies built in the park and open space. They are long-term and fixed facilities for roads, parks and open spaces in the north and high-altitude cold regions. They are built once and can play a positive role in protecting against snow accumulation every winter.
