Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice pouring, in particular to a robot for pouring ice in an ice rink. Background Art

[0002] An ice rink is a place for ice sports, usually a flat and smooth ice surface. People can play various ice sports on the rink, such as skating, ice hockey, figure skating, etc. A robot can refer to a variety of different devices or systems. Its main feature is that it can autonomously perform specific tasks or complete specific functions without direct human operation or intervention. Robots are usually composed of hardware and software, and can be equipped with various sensors, actuators, and processors to perceive the environment, make decisions, and perform tasks.

[0003] Ice pouring refers to the process of forming and maintaining the ice surface using water on an indoor or outdoor ice rink. The purpose of ice pouring is to make the ice surface smooth and firm and provide a surface suitable for skating. Ice skating will cause damage to the ice surface and produce crushed ice. Over time, the ice surface will no longer be smooth and needs to be poured. The steps for ice pouring usually require cleaning the crushed ice on the ice rink first, using a snow blower, ice scraper or manually scraping it off, and then watering the ice surface. You can water manually or use tools such as ice pouring vehicles. Make sure the watering is even. Usually, use warm water to water the ice, wait for a while, repeat the watering, and finally complete the ice pouring.

[0004] When pouring ice, an ice pouring truck is usually used to pour ice on the ice rink. The ice pouring truck can achieve uniform watering and save ice pouring time. However, the existing ice pouring truck has a single function and cannot clean up the crushed ice while pouring ice, so it takes time to clean up the crushed ice first. The ice pouring truck needs to be refilled with water after pouring ice for a period of time before pouring ice again, which is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content
