For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0036] The snow removal device 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the utility model, a snow sweeping device 100 is used for a vehicle and includes: a mounting bracket 11, a rotating snow sweeping member 12 and a driving member 13.
[0038] The rotating snow sweeping member 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11, and a plurality of brushes 122 are arranged radially outside the rotating snow sweeping member 12. The brushes 122 extend radially along the rotating snow sweeping member 12, and the plurality of brushes 122 are arranged circumferentially and axially along the rotating snow sweeping member 12. The driving member 13 is connected to the mounting bracket 11, and the driving member 13 is transmission-connected to the rotating snow sweeping member 12 to drive the rotating snow sweeping member 12 to rotate.
[0039] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the type of vehicle using the snow removal device 100. For ease of description, the following description takes the snow removal device 100 used in a rail vehicle as an example, and the snow on the track beam of the rail vehicle will affect the safety and stability of the vehicle.
[0040] It is understandable that the brush 122 is used to clear the snow, and the brush 122 drives the snow to move so as to achieve the cleaning of the snow. By setting the driving member 13 to drive the rotating snow sweeping member 12 to rotate, the brush 122 can be driven by the rotating snow sweeping member 12 to rotate along the rotating shaft 121, thereby increasing the moving distance of the brush 122 and improving the effect of the brush 122 driving the snow to move. In addition, the plurality of brushes 122 are arranged along the circumferential direction and axial direction of the rotating snow sweeping member 12, ensuring that when the rotating snow sweeping member 12 rotates to any angle, a plurality of brushes 122 can simultaneously sweep the snow, thereby ensuring the snow sweeping effect.
[0041] The snow-clearing device 100 of the present application, by providing a rotating snow-clearing component 12 and controlling its active rotation through a driving component 13, can increase the moving distance of the brush 122 and increase the snow-clearing force of the brush 122, so that the snow-clearing device 100 can clear more snow per unit time and improve the cleanliness of the snow.
[0042] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the brushes 122 are arranged in an array on the circumference of the rotating shaft 121 .
[0043] Preferably, the rotating shaft 121 of the rotating snow sweeper 12 is in the horizontal direction and the angle between the rotating shaft 121 and the moving direction of the vehicle is less than 90 degrees. Thus, it is ensured that there is a certain angle between the snow sweeping direction of the brush 122 and the moving direction of the vehicle, and the movement of the vehicle can further drive the brush 122 to translate relative to the snow, and the moving direction of the snow driven by the brush 122 has an angle with the moving direction of the vehicle, so that the moving direction of the snow is not parallel to the moving direction of the vehicle, which can help the snow leave the front end of the vehicle along the angle direction, reducing the accumulation of snow at the front end of the vehicle.
[0044] In some embodiments, the driving member 13 controls the rotational speed of the rotating snow-clearing member 12 to be adjustable, so that the rotational speed of the rotating snow-clearing member 12 can be adjusted according to the amount of snowfall and snow accumulation, so that the rotational speed of the rotating snow-clearing member 12 can adapt to different amounts of snowfall and snow accumulation, thereby ensuring that the snow-clearing effect of the snow-clearing device 100 is stable in different environments.
[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the snow removal device 100 further includes: a telescopic member 14 having a first end 141 and a second end 142 , the first end 141 and the second end 142 are connected to the mounting bracket 11 , and the second end 142 can move in a vertical direction relative to the first end 141 .
[0046] It is understandable that, when the vehicle is traveling, there is a drop in the up-down direction on the road or track beam in front of the vehicle. The second end 142 is arranged to be movable in the vertical direction relative to the first end 141, so that the rotating snow-clearing member 12 can move in the vertical direction relative to the vehicle.
[0047] Therefore, the rotating snow-clearing piece 12 can move in the vertical direction corresponding to the up and down drop of the road or track beam, so that the brush 122 on the rotating snow-clearing piece 12 can maintain a stable relative distance from the road or track beam, thereby ensuring reliable contact between the brush 122 and the road or track beam, that is, ensuring the snow-clearing effect of the brush 122.
[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 11 includes a first bracket 111 and a second bracket 112 , the first end 141 is connected to the first bracket 111 , the first bracket 111 is connected to the vehicle, the second end 142 is connected to the second bracket 112 , and the rotating snow sweeper 12 and the driving member 13 are connected to the second bracket 112 .
[0049] Thus, the position of the first bracket 111 relative to the vehicle is fixed, the position of the first end 141 relative to the first bracket 111 is fixed, the second bracket 112 moves along the vertical direction relative to the first bracket 111 with the second end 142, and the rotating snow-clearing element 12 is fixed relative to the second bracket 112, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the rotating snow-clearing element 12 relative to the vehicle.
[0050] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 14 is a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic motor. Thus, when the snow sweeping device 100 is in use, the telescopic motor actively controls the position of the rotating snow sweeping member 12 in the vertical direction, so that the brush 122 is located at different positions in the vertical direction corresponding to different snow sweeping requirements, thereby ensuring the snow sweeping effect of the brush 122.
[0051] In addition, when the snow-clearing device 100 is not clearing snow, the telescopic motor can actively control the rotating snow-clearing member 12 to move vertically upward, so that the brush 122 is vertically upward and away from the road or track beam, thereby extending the service life of the brush 122.
[0052] When the snow removal device 100 is sweeping snow, the telescopic motor actively controls the rotating snow removal member 12 to move vertically downward, so that the brush 122 contacts the track beam and provides downward pressure on the road or track beam to ensure reliable contact between the brush 122 and the road track beam. The brush 122 can better remove the residual snow in the gap between the track beams, thereby improving the snow removal effect of the snow removal device 100.
[0053] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 14 is a shock absorber (not shown in the figure), and a shock absorbing wheel is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 11 .
[0054] Therefore, when there is a vertical difference in the road or track beam in front of the vehicle, the shock absorber can passively generate vertical expansion and contraction corresponding to the difference, so that the position of the brush 122 relative to the road or track beam can be kept stable in the vertical direction.
[0055] In addition, the shock-absorbing wheel can provide vertical support for the mounting bracket 11, keeping the vertical position of the mounting bracket 11 stable relative to the road or track beam. Since the position of the mounting bracket 11 relative to the road or track beam remains stable, the deformation of the brush 122 can remain stable, and the downward pressure of the brush 122 on the road or track beam can also remain stable, thereby ensuring the stability of snow sweeping.
[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the second bracket 112 includes a first fixing plate 1121 and two second fixing plates 1122 .
[0057] The first end 141 is connected to the upper side of the first fixing plate 1121. The second fixing plate 1122 is connected to the lower side of the first fixing plate 1121. In the horizontal direction, an accommodating cavity 1120 is formed between the two second fixing plates 1122, the rotating snow sweeper 12 is connected in the accommodating cavity 1120, the two ends of the rotating shaft 121 of the rotating snow sweeper 12 are respectively connected to the two second fixing plates 1122, and the driving member 13 is fixedly connected to any second fixing plate 1122.
[0058] Thus, the accommodating cavity 1120 can provide a space for setting the rotating snow sweeper 12 and the brush 122. At the same time, the first fixed plate 1121 and the second fixed plate 1122 can provide a shielding effect for the rotating snow sweeper 12 to prevent the splashing of snow caused by the rotating snow sweeper 12.
[0059] In addition, the driving member 13 is directly connected to any second fixed plate 1122, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 121 of the rotating snow-clearing member 12 are respectively connected to the two second fixed plates 1122, so that the distance between the driving member 13 and the rotating shaft 121 is smaller, which facilitates the transmission connection between the driving member 13 and the rotating shaft 121 and can simplify the structure of the snow-clearing device 100.
[0060] In some embodiments, the snow removal device 100 is disposed at the front side of the vehicle in the direction of travel. When the vehicle moves forward, the rotation direction of the rotating snow removal element 12 is opposite to the rotation direction of the vehicle's traveling wheels.
[0061] It is understandable that when there is snow between the vehicle's traveling wheels and the track beam, it is easy to affect the normal rotation of the traveling wheels.
[0062] Therefore, by setting the rotation direction of the rotating snow-clearing member 12 to be opposite to the rotation direction of the vehicle's traveling wheels, the movement direction of the accumulated snow driven by the rotating snow-clearing member 12 is opposite to the rotation direction of the traveling wheels, that is, the movement direction of the accumulated snow is consistent with the movement direction of the vehicle, thereby avoiding or reducing the movement of the accumulated snow toward the traveling wheels, reducing or avoiding the influence of the accumulated snow on the normal rotation of the traveling wheels, and improving the safety and stability of the vehicle's driving.
[0063] In addition, the snow removal device 100 is installed in the front side of the vehicle's travel direction, and the moving path of the snow removal device 100 is close to the vehicle's travel path, so there is no need to set up a separate guidance system.
[0064] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 11 includes a snow shield 113, which is arranged on the side of the rotating snow sweeper 12 close to the vehicle. Thus, the snow shield 113 can shield the rotating snow sweeper 12, thereby reducing or preventing the snow attached to the rotating snow sweeper 12 from being thrown toward the vehicle, and the snow shield 113 plays a role in separating the rotating snow sweeper 12 and the vehicle, further preventing or reducing the movement of snow toward the traveling wheels.
[0065] In some embodiments, in the vertical direction, the lowest point of the brush 122 is lower than the lowest point of the mounting bracket 11. Thus, while ensuring that the brush 122 can maintain contact with the road or track beam, the mounting bracket 11 can be prevented from contacting the road or track beam, so that the brush 122 can have a certain downward pressure space when contacting the road or track beam. Thus, while improving the working stability of the snow removal device 100, the snow removal effect of the brush 122 on the road or track beam can be guaranteed.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, the brush 122 is made of a material with low hardness, high toughness and friction resistance.
[0067] It should be noted that when the snow removal device 100 is used to clean the track beam, the surface of the track beam has a coating and there are many gaps in the track beam.
[0068] Therefore, by setting the brush 122 to be made of a low-hardness, high-toughness and friction-resistant material, the brush 122 has the ability to deform so as to extend into the gap of the track beam for cleaning when rotating, and at the same time, the friction between the brush 122 and the track beam can be reduced or avoided to cause damage to the track beam coating. In other words, the cleanliness of snow sweeping can be improved while reducing or avoiding damage to the track beam coating.
[0069] Preferably, the brush 122 is made of nylon.
[0070] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present utility model comprises a snow removal device 100 as described in any one of the above embodiments.
[0071] The vehicle of the present application, by adopting the snow-clearing device 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment, can clear more snow per unit time and improve the cleanliness of the snow, thereby improving the driving stability and safety of the vehicle.
[0072] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the type of vehicle, and the vehicle may be a rail vehicle, and the snow removal device 100 is used to clean the track in front of the rail vehicle. When the vehicle is a road vehicle, the snow removal device 100 may also clean the road surface in front of the road vehicle.
[0073] Other structures and operations of the snow removal device 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0074] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model.
