Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and cleaning device for cloud buses under extreme low-power conditions, belonging to the field of rail transit technology. Background Technology

[0002] The Skybus track is elevated, and snow-covered tracks can easily cause vehicles to slip, making it impossible to operate normally in extreme weather. As a rubber-tired tram, the Skybus's track structure has unique characteristics, making conventional snow removal equipment unsuitable due to space constraints. Existing sweeping devices operate by following the Skybus wheels, which is prone to jamming during operation, and the sweeping components are easily frozen by ice and snow, interrupting snow removal and compromising cleaning effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies in the efficient removal of snow accumulation on the track beams of the Skybus, and to provide a low-power, extreme-condition on-board ice-breaking and sweeping device for Skybus.

[0004] To solve this technical problem, the present invention provides a low-power cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and sweeping device, including a structural support frame, a hard roller brush, a steel ice-breaking roller, bearings, a sweeping tail brush, a transmission system, a motor protective cover, a height adjustment system, and a cloud bus connecting flange plate.

[0005] The structural support frame is a load-bearing structure, including a left side plate, a right side plate, a tail brush connecting plate, a motor mounting plate, square tube one, and square tube two. The transmission system includes a geared motor, sprockets, chains, and keys. The geared motor is mounted on the motor mounting plate. The left and right side plates have coaxial bearing mounting holes, and front and rear bearings are respectively installed. The hard roller brush is installed in the front bearing and is connected to the geared motor through sprockets and chains. The steel ice-breaking roller is mounted in the rear bearing and is a driven structure. The cleaning tail brush is mounted on the tail brush connecting plate through a tail brush clamp. The height adjustment system is installed on the structural support frame through square tube one and square tube two, and the cloud-connecting flange plate is mounted on the height adjustment system.

[0006] The tail brush connecting plate has threaded holes arranged at an angle to allow for the oblique installation of the sweeping tail brush. The sweeping tail brush is made of heat-treated spring plate and dense stainless steel wire to improve snow sweeping efficiency.

[0007] The structural support frame also includes support columns, snow baffles, stiffening plates, and supporting angle steel. The support columns are located below the motor mounting plate, raising the height of the motor mounting plate and reserving space for the installation of the hard roller brush and steel ice-breaking roller below. The snow baffles are located in front of the reduction motor to block the snow splashed up by the hard roller brush during cleaning. Multiple stiffening plates are welded to the inner sides of the left and right side plates to enhance the rigidity of the side plates. The supporting angle steel is installed between the two side plates to provide lateral stability support for the structural support frame.

[0008] The hard roller brush has annular grooves at both ends for installing retaining rings to limit the lateral movement of the sprocket and bearing.

[0009] The shaft end, sprocket, and hard roller of the geared motor are all provided with keyways, and are securely connected by keys.

[0010] The geared motor is equipped with a motor protective cover on its outside to protect it from snow blowing or track splashes caused by hard roller brush operations.

[0011] The height adjustment system includes screw one, screw two, spring one, spring two, spring sleeve, thin nut and cotter pin. Screw one and screw two are threaded on the upper part for installing thin nut, and have through holes at the top for installing cotter pin. Spring one and spring two are respectively fitted onto screw one and screw two.

[0012] The thin nuts are provided in four pairs, which are installed in pairs on the upper part of screw one and screw two and locked together.

[0013] The cotter pin is installed in the top through hole of screw rod one and screw rod two to prevent the nut from loosening and falling off the screw rod.

[0014] The first square tube is welded to the rear side of the motor mounting plate to strengthen the snow baffle and also serves as the mounting fulcrum for the first screw. The second square tube is directly welded to the tail of the left and right side plates to strengthen the overall strength of the structural support frame and also serves as the mounting fulcrum for the second screw.

[0015] Beneficial Effects: This invention integrates a triple-action process of "sweeping, breaking, and re-sweeping." A rigid roller brush initially sweeps away surface snow, a steel ice-breaking roller breaks up the ice layer on the track, and an angled cleaning tail brush removes residual snow, achieving a complete removal of track ice and snow. This invention employs dedicated motor drive technology, featuring an independent drive motor and a precise transmission mechanism, effectively avoiding operational jams and insufficient power. Its liftable installation structure allows for easy storage when not in operation, minimizing impact on the normal operation of the shuttle bus. During operation, the working height can be dynamically adjusted according to the track's ice and snow conditions, adapting to different thicknesses of snow and ice. This invention integrates snow sweeping and ice breaking functions, breaking the limitations of traditional snow removal equipment's single-operation capabilities and achieving efficient and continuous snow and ice removal.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1-10As shown, the present invention provides a low-power cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and sweeping device, including a structural support frame 3, a hard roller brush 4, a steel ice-breaking roller 5, a bearing 6, a sweeping tail brush 7, a transmission system 8, a motor protective cover 9, a height adjustment system 10, a cloud bus connecting flange plate 2, and a cloud bus bottom cantilever 12; the low-power cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and sweeping device is installed at the bottom of the cloud bus vehicle, in line with the forward direction of the cloud bus vehicle.

[0020] The structural support frame 3 is a load-bearing structure, comprising a left side plate 3-1, a right side plate 3-2, a tail brush connecting plate 3-3, a motor mounting plate 3-5, square tube one 3-8, and square tube two 3-9, all welded together. The transmission system 8 includes a geared motor 8-1, a sprocket 8-2, a chain 8-3, and a key 8-4. The geared motor 8-1 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 3-5. The left side plate 3-1 and the right side plate 3-2 have coaxial bearing mounting holes, each housing a front side shaft. The rear bearing houses a hard roller brush 4, which is installed inside the front bearing and connected to the reduction motor 8-1 via a sprocket 8-2 and a chain 8-3. It can directly contact the track surface to remove surface snow. A steel ice-breaking roller 5, mounted inside the rear bearing, is a driven structure that rotates with the track as the vehicle moves, directly crushing and breaking the frozen ice layer on the track surface. The steel ice-breaking roller 5 has annular grooves at both ends for installing retaining rings 11 to limit lateral movement of the bearing. The hard roller brush 4 and the steel ice-breaking roller... Rollers 5 are fixed to the bearing mounting holes of the left side plate 3-1 and the right side plate 3-2 by fasteners. The hard roller brush 4 is placed in front, and the steel ice-breaking roller 5 is placed behind. The nuts of the fasteners are lock nuts, which can effectively prevent the bolts from loosening during vehicle operation and ensure the stable operation of the device. The cleaning tail brush 7 is installed on the tail brush connecting plate 3-3 through the tail brush clamp. When the vehicle is moving, it can efficiently sweep the broken ice and residual snow on the track surface to the outside of the track. The height adjustment system 10 is installed on the structural support frame 3 through square tube 1 3-8 and square tube 2 3-9. The cloud bus connecting flange plate 2 is mounted on the height adjustment system 10. The entire cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and cleaning device 1 is quickly and firmly connected to the bottom cantilever 12 of the cloud bus through the cloud bus connecting flange plate 2 using flange-type hexagonal bolts 1-1 and wedge washers 1-2, completing the assembly of the cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice-breaking and cleaning device 1 on the cloud bus vehicle. It is pre-tightened according to the specified torque to prevent the bolts from falling off during operation.

[0021] The tail brush connecting plate 3-3 has threaded holes arranged at an angle to allow for the oblique installation of the sweeping tail brush 7, which efficiently sweeps the broken ice and residual snow on the track surface to the outside of the track. The sweeping tail brush 7 is made of heat-treated spring plate and dense stainless steel wire, and is installed at the rear of the Yunba vehicle-mounted ice breaking and sweeping device to improve snow sweeping efficiency.

[0022] The structural support frame 3 also includes support columns 3-4, snow baffles 3-6, stiffening plates 3-7, and supporting angle steel 3-10. The support columns 3-4 are located below the motor mounting plate 3-5, raising the height of the motor mounting plate 3-5 to provide space for the installation of the hard roller brush 4 and the steel ice-breaking roller 5 below. The snow baffles 3-6 are located in front of the reduction motor 8-1 to block the snow splashed up by the hard roller brush 4 during sweeping. Multiple stiffening plates 3-7 are welded to the inner sides of the left side plate 3-1 and the right side plate 3-2 to effectively enhance the rigidity of the side plates and prevent deformation. The supporting angle steel 3-10 is installed at the rear end of the left and right side plates, located between the steel ice-breaking roller 5 and the sweeping tail brush 7, providing lateral stability support for the structural support frame 3 and ensuring the overall structural strength.

[0023] The hard roller brush 4 has annular grooves at both ends for installing retaining rings 11 to limit the lateral movement of the sprocket 8-2 and the bearing.

[0024] The shaft end of the geared motor 8-1, the sprocket 8-2, and the hard roller brush 4 are all provided with keyways, and are securely connected by keys 8-4.

[0025] The chain 8-3 connects the two sprockets into one unit. When the reduction motor 8-1 rotates, the hard roller brush 4 is driven to rotate under the transmission action of the sprocket 8-2 and the chain 8-3, thereby sweeping the snow on the track surface.

[0026] The geared motor 8-1 is equipped with a motor protective cover 9 on its outside to protect the geared motor 8-1 from the effects of snow blowing up or track splashes caused by the operation of the hard roller brush 4, and to prevent the geared motor from abnormally stopping due to snow cover or foreign object intrusion, thus ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the equipment in extreme environments.

[0027] The height adjustment system 10 includes a screw 10-1, a screw 2 10-2, a spring 10-3, a spring 2 10-4, a spring sleeve 10-5, a thin nut 10-6, and a cotter pin 10-7. The screws 10-1 and 10-2 are threaded on their upper parts for mounting the thin nut 10-6, and have through holes at their tops for mounting the cotter pin 10-7. The springs 10-3 and 10-4 are respectively fitted onto the screws 10-1 and 10-2. The inner diameter of the spring sleeve 10-5 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the spring 10-3 and the spring 2 10-4, which is used to protect the spring. The length of the spring is greater than the distance between the structural support frame 3 and the cloud bus connecting flange plate 2. After the spring is installed, its elasticity can make the structural support frame 3 and the cloud bus connecting flange plate 2 bear internal pressure, thereby supporting the cleaning device in the opposite direction. The height adjustment system 10 can dynamically adjust the distance between the cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice breaking and cleaning device and the track surface according to different track surface heights or ice thicknesses.

[0028] Four pairs of thin nuts 10-6 are provided, installed in pairs on the upper part of screw 10-1 and screw 20-2, and locked together to prevent loosening. The upper part of screw 10-1 and screw 20-2 is threaded for installing thin nuts 10-6. By rotating thin nuts 10-6, pressure can be applied or released on the cloud bus connecting flange plate 2, thereby driving the spring to compress or extend, shortening or lengthening the distance between the cloud bus connecting plate and the structural support frame 3, and finally realizing the precise adjustment of the overall height of the cloud bus vehicle-mounted ice breaking and sweeping device 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the hard roller brush 4, steel ice breaking roller 5, sweeping tail brush 7 and the track surface.

[0029] The cotter pin 10-7 is installed in the top through hole of screw 10-1 and screw 20-2 to prevent the nut from loosening and falling off the screw.

[0030] When adjusting the height adjustment system 10, the top four pairs of nuts must be adjusted simultaneously to control the compression of the spring and ensure the gap between the roller brush, tail brush and the track surface. After the height adjustment system 10 is adjusted, it must be ensured that the two adjacent nuts at the top are locked together and cannot be loosened.

[0031] The square tube 3-8 is welded to the rear side of the motor mounting plate 3-5 to reinforce the strength of the snow baffle and also serves as the mounting point for the screw 10-1. The square tube 3-9 is directly welded to the tail of the left side plate 3-1 and the right side plate 3-2 to further reinforce the overall strength of the structural support frame 3 and also serves as the mounting point for the screw 10-2.

[0032] This invention integrates a triple-action process of "sweeping, breaking, and re-sweeping." A rigid roller brush rotates clockwise to initially sweep away surface snow, a steel ice-breaking roller breaks up the ice layer on the track, and an angled cleaning tail brush removes residual snow, achieving a complete removal of ice and snow from the track. This invention employs dedicated motor drive technology, featuring an independent drive motor and a precise transmission mechanism, effectively avoiding operational jams and insufficient power. Its liftable installation structure allows for easy storage when not in operation, minimizing impact on the vehicle's normal operation. During operation, the working height can be dynamically adjusted according to the track's ice and snow conditions to adapt to different thicknesses of snow and ice, significantly reducing disassembly and assembly work and facilitating daily maintenance. Furthermore, the spring-loaded shock-absorbing structure buffers vibrations and extends the equipment's lifespan.

[0033] The above embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative examples and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of the present invention or equivalent to the scope of the present invention are encompassed by the present invention.
