Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of road traffic and civil engineering, and in particular relates to an intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting facility for a road surface in an area with frequent snowfall. Background Art

[0002] In winter, the northern part of my country will see large-scale snowfall, and heavy snow and blizzards often occur. Heavy snowfall often causes thick snow to accumulate on the road surface, even tens of centimeters thick. This brings great inconvenience to transportation. Vehicles cannot travel on roads with large slopes, causing traffic paralysis. In addition, vehicles cannot effectively brake due to the slippery road surface, causing traffic accidents, causing property losses and life dangers to people. Non-motorized vehicle lanes cannot enter because snowplows can only rely on manual snow removal, which is very inefficient. The snow is crushed by non-motorized vehicles to form a smooth ice and snow surface, which is even more difficult to remove manually.

[0003] At present, there are two main ways to deal with snow and ice on roads. One is to use snowplows to shovel snow, and the other is to use snow melting agents. Snowplows usually start to shovel snow after the heavy snow stops. They cannot clear the snow in time and are unsafe. If the bridge has expansion joints or the road surface is uneven, the snowplow can easily cause damage to the road surface. Snow melting agents are generally inorganic snow melting agents with "chloride salts" as the main ingredient. They will corrode the road surface, and structures such as concrete and steel bars will also be corroded. In addition, a large amount of chlorides melted in water will also cause damage to the surrounding ecological environment. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to the road surface without affecting the ecological environment, it is urgent to design a new snow and ice melting facility that can solve the problem of snow and ice on roads more conveniently, timely and safely. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the shortcomings of the currently used road snow and ice removal methods and provides an intelligent snow and ice melting facility for the road surface in areas with heavy snowfall.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting facility for roads in areas with frequent snowfall, including a resistance wire arranged in a road surface layer, the resistance wire being electrically connected to a leakage protector and an intelligent power controller in sequence, the intelligent power controller being communicatively connected to an image processing unit, the image processing unit being communicatively connected to a monitoring camera, the monitoring camera monitoring a scale vertically fixed on a snow-falling plate, and taking a picture and sending it to the image processing unit, the image processing unit identifying the thickness of snow based on the picture and sending it to the intelligent power controller, the intelligent power controller turning on a power switch of different gears based on the thickness of the snow.

[0006] Furthermore, the road comprises a road surface base, a lower layer and an upper layer are arranged on the road surface base, and the resistance wire is arranged between the upper layer and the lower layer.

[0007] Furthermore, the resistance wire is laid in an S shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the surveillance camera is a camera with night vision function.

[0009] Furthermore, it comprises a main controller, in which a monitoring camera, an image processing unit and an intelligent power supply controller are integrated.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The utility model adopts resistance wire to heat the road surface to melt snow and ice, which is faster, more timely and safer than the previous snow removal vehicles to clear snow, more environmentally friendly than spreading snow melting agents to clear snow, and can reduce damage to the road surface.

[0012] 2. The intelligent power controller can turn on the power switch of different gears in time according to the different snow thickness. It is timely and accurate, which can not only reduce labor costs but also avoid the disadvantages of not being able to turn on in time. In addition, turning on different gears according to different snow thickness is conducive to saving electricity.

[0013] 3. The surveillance camera can continuously observe the thickness of snow at night, avoiding the inability to capture clear scale marks due to insufficient light at night. When it snows at night, the power can be turned on in time to allow the resistance wire to heat the road surface, effectively solving the problem of traffic paralysis the next day due to excessive snow accumulation at night.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the utility model, the following is a further detailed description of an intelligent snow and ice melting facility for roads in areas with heavy snowfall of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, an intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting facility for roads in areas with frequent snowfall includes a resistance wire 4 arranged in the road surface layer, the resistance wire 4 is electrically connected to a leakage protector 5 and an intelligent power controller 9 in sequence, the intelligent power controller 9 is communicatively connected to an image processing unit 8, the image processing unit 8 is communicatively connected to a monitoring camera 7, the monitoring camera 7 monitors a scale 6 vertically fixed on a snow-falling plate 11, and takes a picture and sends it to the image processing unit 8, the image processing unit 8 recognizes the thickness of snow based on the picture and sends it to the intelligent power controller 9, and the intelligent power controller 9 turns on the power switch of different gears according to the thickness of the snow.

[0020] In this embodiment, the road includes a road base 3, on which a lower layer 2 and an upper layer 1 are provided, and a resistance wire 4 is arranged in an S shape between the upper layer 1 and the lower layer 2. When the road is constructed, the resistance wire 4 is laid after the lower layer 2 is laid, and then the upper layer 1 is laid. In this way, the resistance wire 4 will not be damaged due to the road surface being damaged due to being buried too shallowly, nor will it be buried too deeply to achieve the road surface heating effect. After the intelligent power controller 9 turns on the switch, the circuit is energized and the resistance wire 4 begins to heat, and the leakage protector 5 provided can prevent leakage caused by the resistance wire 4 being exposed due to road damage.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the scale 6 is provided with scale lines 15, and the monitoring camera 7, the image processing unit 8 and the intelligent power controller 9 are integrated in the main controller 10. The monitoring camera 7 has a night vision function, including a camera housing 12 and a lens 13, and a built-in information sending module 14. It can monitor the thickness of snow by shooting the scale of the scale 6 at any time during the day or at night, and take pictures and send them to the image processing unit 8. The image processing unit 8 is provided with an information receiving module, which can receive the scale 6 and snow images sent by the monitoring camera 7, and finally identify the thickness of snow. After receiving the snow thickness from the image processing unit 8, the intelligent power controller 9 turns on the power switch of different gears according to different snow thicknesses. When the snow thickness is equal to 2cm, the 1st gear switch is turned on, and when the snow thickness is equal to 5cm, the 2nd gear switch is turned on.

[0022] The working principle and use process of the utility model: after the snow falls on the snow-falling plate 11, a part of the scale 6 will be buried. The monitoring camera 7 forms an image by shooting the scale line 15 of the scale 6, and the image is transmitted back to the image processing unit 8 by the information sending module 14. The image is processed and analyzed to obtain the thickness of the snow, and then the snow thickness information is transmitted back to the intelligent power controller 9. The intelligent power controller 9 controls the power switch gear according to different snow thicknesses. When the snow thickness is equal to 2cm, the 1st gear switch is turned on, and when the snow thickness is equal to 5cm, the 2nd gear switch is turned on. After the switch is turned on, the circuit is energized and reaches the resistance wire 4 laid between the upper layer 1 and the lower layer 2 through the leakage protector 5. The resistance wire 4 slowly heats up and raises the road surface temperature to achieve the purpose of melting ice and snow. At the same time, the monitoring camera 7 also continuously observes the melting of snow on the road, shoots images and transmits them back to the image processing unit 8, and controls the switch of the intelligent power controller 9 according to the road snow melting situation.
