Description

Technical Field

[0002] In winter, it snows a lot in the north and the temperature is low. Snow or ice on the roads seriously hinders traffic and poses a great hidden danger to winter driving safety. Therefore, how to quickly clean the snow on the road is an issue that people are eager to solve. Currently, the conventional snow removal method is manual snow removal, but this method is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0003] In order to facilitate snow removal, some cities use snowplows for snow removal, including mechanical snow removal, snow melting and snow removal, or comprehensive snow removal. In the design of snow melting and snow removal, snowplows will spray salt water to clear the snow, but in the process of spraying salt water, the salt water ratio is often not accurate, which often causes salt waste, or a box of salt water is used up and needs to be returned for replenishment before continuing to work. The trip not only wastes time but also consumes a lot of gasoline and other costs. Some designs of snow melting and snow removal use heating to remove snow, such as using boilers for heating, but when there is too much snow on the road, the vehicle will consume a lot of energy to melt the snow, so the endurance is still low.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the endurance of snowplows while achieving snow melting is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] A solar snow-melting and snow-removing vehicle adopts a method of combining heating and salt spreading to effectively improve the driving endurance.

[0021] like Figure 1 The vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a roller 3, a heating device and a snow melting device. The vehicle body comprises a front 1 and a vehicle body 2. The roller 3 is arranged below the vehicle body 2 and is driven by electric or hydraulic power to crush snow or break a small amount of ice in the snow. The snow crushed by the roller 3 moves backward.

[0022] A snow collecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected in the carriage 2. The snow collecting pipe 8 is a rectangular structure and both the front and rear ends of the snow collecting pipe 8 are open. A snow throwing device is provided in the snow collecting pipe 8. A heating device and a snow melting device are both provided in the carriage 2. The heating device is connected to the drum 3 and can heat the snow thrown into the snow collecting pipe 8. The snow melting device is used to mix salt or a salt-based snow melting agent into the heated snow.

[0023] The heating device includes a solar device 4 and a water circulation device. The solar device 4 is arranged above the carriage 2, and the number of the solar devices 4 is 2 or more. The water circulation device is arranged inside the carriage 2. The water in the water circulation device can be heated by the solar device 4, and then the heated water heats the snow in the snow collection pipe 8.

[0024] The water cycle includes a water tank 5, a circulating water pipe 6 and a water pump 7. The water tank 5 is connected to the solar device 4. Water is stored in the water tank 5. The water stored in the water tank 5 is heated by the solar device 4. Preferably, the solar device 4 is a solar water heater.

[0025] Combination Figure 2 The snow-throwing device includes a rotating roller 9 and a motor 10. One end of the rotating roller 9 is connected to the motor 10. A hard brush is provided on the rotating roller 9. When the rotating roller 9 rotates, the hard brush can throw snow into the snow collecting pipe 8. There can be multiple snow-throwing devices, and the multiple snow-throwing devices are evenly arranged along the length direction of the snow collecting pipe 8 to ensure the snow shoveling rate. There are various snow-throwing devices in the prior art, and of course other snow-throwing devices, such as a screw conveyor, can also be used.

[0026] The circulating water pipe 6 is arranged in the snow collecting pipe 8 and is distributed in a spiral shape in the snow collecting pipe 8. The cross-section of the circulating water pipe 6 is a rectangular pipe. The inner surface of the circulating water pipe 6 is flush with the inner surface of the snow collecting pipe 8. In this way, the snow will not be blocked during the movement in the snow collecting pipe 8, thereby ensuring the efficiency of snow movement.

[0027] As the snow moves in the snow collecting pipe 8, it will continue to be heated by the circulating water pipe 6 in the snow collecting pipe 8, causing part of the water to melt. The closer the snow is to the rear end of the snow collecting pipe 8, the greater the proportion of snow converted into water.

[0028] Combination Figure 3 In order to reduce the amount of heat in the circulating water pipe 6 that is reduced due to environmental influences, an insulating layer 11 is provided on the outside of the snow collecting pipe 8. The insulating layer 11 is made of materials such as rock wool board or polyurethane foam material, so that the heat in the circulating water pipe 6 can be used exclusively for melting the collected snow to ensure the quality of snow melting.

[0029] By heating the snow in a water circulation manner, the water in the water tank 5 will not decrease, and the heat of the water is obtained through solar energy, and neither of them will be consumed. Therefore, the endurance of the heating device is much greater. At this time, the water inlet of the circulating water pipe 6 is connected to the upper part of the water tank 5, and the water outlet is connected to the lower part of the water tank 5. According to the principle of heat rise and cold drop of water, the water in the circulating water pipe 6 receives the water with higher temperature in the water tank 5 to improve the quality of snow melting.

[0030] The snow melting device includes a salt storage box 12 and a salt spreading assembly. The salt storage box 12 is arranged in the carriage 2. Salt or salt-based snow melting agent is stored in the salt storage box 12. A salt adding port is arranged on the top of the carriage 2 for adding salt when the amount of salt in the salt storage box 12 is small. The salt spreading assembly includes a salt spreading pipe 13, a salt adjusting device and a blower 14. A plurality of salt outlets are provided at the top of the snow collecting pipe 8. One end of the salt spreading pipe 13 is connected to the salt storage box 12, and the other end is connected to the salt outlet at the top of the snow collecting pipe 8. The salt adjusting device is arranged below the salt storage box 12 for adjusting the amount of salt.

[0031] Combination Figure 4 The number of salt adjusting devices is set to be multiple, and the salt adjusting devices include a lower salt barrel 18, an electric push rod 15, a connecting rod 16 and an adjusting ball 17. The lower salt barrel 18 is a conical structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The electric push rod 15 is arranged at the bottom of the salt storage box 12 and is provided with an outer cover to isolate it from the salt. The connecting rod 16 is coaxially arranged in the lower salt barrel 18. The upper end of the connecting rod 16 is connected to the motor 10. The adjusting ball 17 is integrally fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16, and a lower salt channel is formed between the adjusting ball 17 and the inner wall of the lower salt barrel 18. The electric push rod 15 drives the adjusting ball 17 to move up and down to adjust the amount of salt output. When the adjusting ball 17 moves to the inner wall of the lower salt barrel 18, the salt output stops, thereby adjusting the salt output speed.

[0032] The blower 14 is arranged in the carriage 2 and the outlet of the blower 14 is connected to the salt spreading pipe 13. The lower end of the salt spreading pipe 13 is provided with a salt outlet bin 19 having a triangular cross section, and the salt outlet bin 19 is connected to a plurality of salt outlets. When the blower 14 is working, the salt reaching the salt outlet bin 19 can flow into each salt outlet more evenly under the influence of wind force.

[0033] When the snowplow is removing snow, the snow on the road is first crushed and broken by the roller 3, and then the snow is thrown into the snow collecting pipe 8 by the snow-throwing device. The snow entering the snow collecting pipe 8 is heated by the circulating water pipe 6, so that part of the snow is melted by the heat. When entering the rear end of the snow collecting pipe 8, the snow melting device sprinkles salt or salt-based snow melting agent on the partially melted snow. The salt penetrates into the snow under the action of heat and water, thereby realizing the snow melting function. While realizing the snow melting function, since there is no need to set a water tank 5 mixed with salt in the car 2, a larger amount of salt can be placed in the car 2, thereby effectively improving the endurance. The snow is partially melted by solar heating and mixed with salt. The solar heating can be continued without being affected by the endurance, thereby effectively improving the overall endurance.

In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other;
