[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0035] This example discloses a bus stop with de-icing equipment, see Figures 1 to 3 ,

[0036] It includes an information display screen 1 erected in front of the waiting space and a windbreak 2 erected at the rear of the waiting space, a photovoltaic panel 3 is installed above the information display screen 1, and the power output end of the photovoltaic panel 3 is connected to a deicing device, and the deicing device includes a heating device and a hot air blower arranged below the waiting space;

[0037] The windbreak 2 includes correspondingly arranged columns 4, at least one convex lens handrail 5 is installed on the columns 4, a bench 6 is arranged between the columns 4, a rotating windproof curtain 7 is installed on the columns 4, the rotating windproof curtain 7 includes a reel arranged on the column 4, a hand crank 8 is installed at the end of the reel to rotate the reel, a curtain 9 is installed on the reel, and a groove 10 is arranged on the inner side of the column 4 for the curtain 9 to slide.

[0038] The hot air blower comprises a heating chamber 11 , in which a heat exchanger is arranged. One end of the heat exchanger is connected to an air inlet 12 , and the other end is connected to an air outlet 13 .

[0039] A temperature sensor is installed at the air outlet 13 of the hot air blower. The temperature signal output end of the temperature sensor is connected to the receiving end of the controller. The control instruction output end of the controller is connected to the actuator to adjust the operating state of the hot air blower.

[0040] The controller is a single chip microcomputer, a plc or an industrial computer.

[0041] The actuator is a solenoid valve, an electric regulating valve or a frequency converter.

[0042] The temperature sensor is a thermocouple, an infrared sensor or a digital temperature sensor.

[0043] A removable self-heating skirting 11 is installed below the information display screen 1.

[0044] During operation, the windproof fence 2 can effectively resist the influence of severe weather such as strong winds, and ensure the comfort of the waiting space. The windproof curtain 7 can be rotated by the reel so that the curtain 9 installed on the reel slides into the groove 10 set on the inner side of the column 4, so as to realize the closing or opening of the windproof curtain 7. At the same time, the setting of the groove 10 can make the curtain 9 installed on the reel slide along the inner side of the column 4, so as to ensure the smooth opening and closing of the windproof curtain 7. The photovoltaic panel is a solar panel, which is used to collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. This electrical energy will be used to provide power for the deicing equipment of the bus stop, and the thermal energy converter converts the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel into thermal energy. This device is located at the bottom of the bus stop, providing heat to the bottom of the bus stop to prevent ice. In rainy and snowy weather, when the thermal energy converter cannot provide enough heat, the hot air blower can provide additional heat. The hot air blower can inhale air and then discharge the hot air through the air outlet to ensure that the temperature at the bottom is above 0 degrees to prevent ice. The concave lens-shaped reflective structure is installed on the railing of the bus stop, reflecting light to the ground, providing additional lighting for the waiting area, and also providing a certain insulation effect for the ground. This structure can also serve as a handrail to reinforce the stability of the bus stop. The anti-slip strip can be installed at the bottom of the bus stop as a skirting, and can also be removed at any time. Self-heating devices such as electric heating wires or chemical reaction heat sources can be independently installed inside the anti-slip strip. In cold weather, the anti-slip strip works and generates heat to achieve the effect of warming and deicing. At the same time, the anti-slip strip can also be used as a standing position for waiting passengers, providing passengers with a safe and comfortable waiting environment. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the hot air blower in real time. It is installed near the air outlet. The controller is used to control the operation of the hot air blower according to the temperature sensor data. The control strategy can be PID control, fuzzy control or other control algorithms that are more suitable for the hot air blower system. The controller receives the data from the temperature sensor and adjusts the operating status of the hot air blower according to the difference between the set value and the actual value, including the fan speed, heating time and heating power. The actuator adjusts the operating status of the hot air blower by receiving the instructions of the controller. For example, when the controller detects that the temperature is low, the actuator will increase the fan speed or heating power to increase the temperature, otherwise it will reduce the fan speed or heating power.
