[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, i.e., embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1The utility model proposes a snowplow device 100 and an autonomous operation device. The snowplow device 100 can be easily installed on a self-moving device. The self-moving device generates a predetermined snowplow path based on the snow removal area set by the user. The self-moving device can be a mobile carrier such as a crawler vehicle or a wheeled vehicle on which the snowplow device 100 can be installed. The self-moving device and the snowplow device 100 are combined to form an autonomous operation device to complete the snow removal work in winter; the snowplow device 100 is used to push the snow on the road along the predetermined snowplow path generated by the self-moving device under the drive of the self-moving device, especially in a wet snow environment, so as to achieve the cleaning of the predetermined area.
[0033] In the related technology, the traditional snow pushing direction is single, the operation is not flexible enough, and the snow pushing coverage is not wide enough, which makes the wet snow pushing not accurate enough, and may cause snow to accumulate in unexpected areas, reducing the snow clearing effect; at the same time, in order to push the accumulated snow to the accurate area, it is necessary to frequently change the movement direction of the machine, reducing the snow clearing efficiency.
[0034] Based on this, the applicant conducted in-depth research to solve the technical problem that the traditional snow pusher 100 lacks adjustability in the left and right directions, so as to form the technical solution of the present application.
[0035] It should be noted that in snow removal work, there are usually areas where snow cannot accumulate and areas where snow can accumulate. For example, areas where snow cannot accumulate may include: courtyard areas where people are active and roads where cars drive, etc.; areas where snow can accumulate may include: boundaries of courtyard areas, boundaries of roads where cars drive, etc. That is to say, when performing snow removal work, the snow in the areas where snow cannot accumulate can be piled up in the areas where snow can accumulate.
[0036] The snow pushing device 100 provided by the utility model can realize a certain range of rotation in the left and right directions, so that the accumulated snow can be more accurately deposited in the snow-accumulating area from the non-snow-accumulating area.
[0037] The structure of the snow pushing device 100 in the present application is described in detail below.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 The snow pushing device 100 provided by the utility model includes a bracket 10; a snow pushing member 20, which can be rotatably installed on the bracket 10 in the left and right directions; a driving member, which is arranged on the bracket 10 and is transmission-connected to the snow pushing member 20 to drive the snow pushing member 20 to swing along the left and right directions relative to the bracket 10.
[0039] Among them, the bracket 10 of the snow pusher 100 can be made of a piece of sheet metal, which is finely bent to form a three-sided structure. The structure includes a main board and two side boards, and the main board is connected to the two side boards to form a whole. The two side boards are bent along the two side edges of the main board, and the position relationship is parallel. The structure formed at the connection between the main board and the two side boards makes the bracket 10 as a whole present a compact and stable three-dimensional shape. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the three-sided surround design enables the bracket 10 to provide strong support while also providing good protection for the drive component, reducing interference from external factors.
[0040] The overall shape of the snow pusher 20 can be a snow pusher shovel that extends laterally and is concave and curved on the side opposite to the snow pushing direction, and a shovel blade is provided at the bottom thereof for cutting or shoveling snow.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the driving member is a linear driving mechanism, and in the front-to-back direction, the driving member is transmission-connected to the left or right side of the snow pusher 20 , and / or the driving member is installed in the middle of the bracket 10 .
[0042] The linear drive mechanism can be an electric push rod, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or other drive device, which transmits force to the left or right side of the snow pusher 20 through linear motion, and rotates around the middle of the snow pusher 20 to make it swing in the left and right directions.
[0043] Specifically, the linear drive mechanism of this embodiment is an electric push rod, and a fixed seat is installed in the middle of the bracket 10. The fixed seat is provided with a hollow portion for accommodating one end of the electric push rod, and the upper and lower side walls of the hollow portion are provided with through holes for hinged connection with the electric push rod, and a pin is provided to penetrate the through hole and one end of the electric push rod to realize the rotation of the push rod on the fixed seat. Installing the driving member in the middle of the bracket 10 reduces the risk of vibration transmission to the bracket 10 and other components.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the snow pushing device 100 also includes a connecting member 40 connected between the snow pushing member 20 and the bracket 10. In the left and right directions, the middle part of the connecting member 40 is rotatably connected to the bracket 10, and the driving member is transmission-connected to the left or right side of the connecting member 40 to drive the connecting member 40 and the snow pushing member 20 to swing synchronously.
[0045] In this embodiment, the back of the snow pusher 20 has a strip sheet metal structure extending laterally, and the connecting member 40 has two side plates connected to the strip sheet metal, and the connection method can be welding, bolt connection, etc. One end of the connecting member 40 is hinged to the driving member, and the other end is connected to the snow pusher 20, so that the connecting member 40 plays a transmission bridge role between the driving member and the snow pusher 20.
[0046] The connecting member 40 has a first connecting position and a second connecting position, the first connecting position is connected to the bracket 10, the second connecting position is connected to the push rod, and the second connecting position is on the left or right side of the first connecting position. When the driving member performs linear driving motion, the second connecting position rotates with the first connecting position as the rotation center, that is, the connecting member 40 drives the snow pusher 20 to rotate with the first connecting position in the middle of the connecting member 40 as the rotation center. In this way, the snow pusher 20 can swing in the left and right directions, which enhances the flexibility of the snow pusher 100, helps to adapt to different working scenes, and improves the applicability of the snow pusher 100.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, one end of the driving member is hinged to the bracket 10 , and the other end of the driving member is hinged to the connecting member 40 .
[0048] Specifically, the driving member may be an electric push rod. In the prior art, the telescopic end of the electric push rod is usually hinged to the connecting member 40, one end with a motor is hinged to the bracket 10, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is exposed to the outside; in the embodiment of the utility model, one end of the electric push rod with a motor is hinged to the connecting member 40, and the other end, i.e., the telescopic end of the electric push rod, is hinged to the bracket 10.
[0049] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment firstly avoids the telescopic end of the electric push rod from being exposed to the outside in rainy and snowy weather. This design effectively prevents moisture from entering the telescopic end of the electric push rod in rainy and snowy weather, reducing the risk of damage to the electric push rod. Secondly, the telescopic end of the electric push rod is hinged to the bracket 10, avoiding the situation where the telescopic end is directly exposed to the outside. This design can effectively prevent the telescopic end from freezing in low temperature weather.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the bracket 10 and the portion where the driving member is connected to the connecting member 40 are spaced apart from each other.
[0051] It can be understood that the connection part between the bracket 10 and the driving member has an upper and lower spacing setting to ensure that the bracket 10 and the electric push rod can maintain a suitable spatial relationship during the entire assembly and movement process, and to prevent unnecessary interference in the installation of the bracket 10 and the electric push rod.
[0052] In this way, collision or mutual interference between the bracket 10 and the electric push rod is avoided. The implementation of this design scheme is intended to improve the stability and reliability of the snow pushing device 100 and reduce the complexity in the assembly process.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the connecting member 40 extends a first hinge platform 41 and a second hinge platform 42 in a direction away from the snow pusher 20, and the first hinge platform 41 and the second hinge platform 42 respectively have a first hinge hole and a second hinge hole; the bracket 10 is provided with a third hinge platform 11, and the third hinge platform 11 has a third hinge hole adapted to the first hinge platform 41; the driving member is provided with a protrusion 31, and the protrusion 31 has a fourth hinge hole, and the fourth hinge hole is hingedly connected to the second hinge hole.
[0054] The design of the connecting member 40 is to achieve the coordinated operation of the bracket 10, the snow pusher 20 and the driving member. Specifically, the connecting member 40 extends a first hinged platform 41 and a second hinged platform 42 in the direction opposite to the snow pusher 20, and the two platforms are respectively provided with a first hinge hole and a second hinge hole. In terms of the bracket 10, a third hinged platform 11 is provided, and the platform is provided with a third hinge hole adapted to the first hinged platform 41. Such a design allows a rotatable structure to be formed between the connecting member 40 and the bracket 10, so that the snow pusher 20 can swing in the left and right directions. In order to achieve this swing, the driving member is provided with a protrusion 31, and the protrusion 31 is provided with a fourth hinge hole, which is hingedly connected to the second hinge hole. Through the setting of this structure, the snow pusher 20 can achieve synchronous swinging under the action of the driving member, thereby completing the effective pushing of the accumulated snow.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the portion of the bracket 10 connected to the connecting member 40 has hollow positions 12 on both sides to allow the connecting member 40 to rotate relative to the bracket 10 in the left and right directions.
[0056] It can be understood that the part of the bracket 10 connected to the connecting member 40 has hollow positions 12 on both sides, which is intended to provide a space for the snow pusher 20 and the connecting member 40 to avoid when rotating, so as to ensure that the connecting member 40 can swing smoothly in the left and right directions without being hindered by the bracket 10. The key to this design is that by providing the hollow positions 12, the free space between the connecting member 40 and the bracket 10 is effectively increased, so that the connecting member 40 can be flexibly rotated in the left and right directions relative to the bracket 10, so that the snow pusher 20 can swing more freely in the left and right directions.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the snow pusher 20 can rotate in the left-right direction relative to the bracket 10 in the range of -30° to +30°.
[0058] In the snow pushing device 100, the design of the snow pushing member 20 with respect to the bracket 10 in the left and right direction with a rotation range of -30° to +30° has obvious practical operational advantages. The selection of this range is that it can effectively push the snow in the non-snow-accumulating area in the forward direction to the snow-accumulating areas on the left and right sides. Too large a rotation range may cause excessive dispersion of snow and make it difficult to control, while too small a range may cause snow leakage, affecting the comprehensiveness of snow pushing. Therefore, the range of -30° to +30° fully considers the coverage area of snow pushing and ensures controllability during operation.
[0059] The utility model also proposes an autonomous operation device, including a self-moving device and a snow pushing device 100; the snow pushing device 100 is arranged on the self-moving device, and the snow pushing device 100 can push the snow in front of the snow pushing device 100 under the drive of the self-moving device.
[0060] The self-moving device is a flexible mobile vehicle body that can adopt a variety of designs, such as a tracked vehicle, a wheeled vehicle, etc. This vehicle body has good maneuverability and adaptability, and can move freely under different terrains and environmental conditions. The self-moving device is equipped with the snow pushing device 100 described above, which can efficiently push the snow in front of it under the drive of the self-moving device. Such a design enables the autonomous operation equipment to independently complete the snow clearing task, reduces manpower input, and enables the post-snow cleaning task to be completed quickly and efficiently in different scenarios.
[0061] In some embodiments, the snow pushing device 100 can be detachably mounted on the self-moving device, and the autonomous operating device also includes a snow removal device detachably mounted on the self-moving device. The autonomous operating device has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. When in the first operating mode, the snow removal device is mounted on the self-moving device, and when in the second operating mode, the snow pushing device 100 is mounted on the self-moving device.
[0062] Specifically, the snow removal device can be a snowblower. In the first operation mode, the snowblower and the self-moving device form a complete snowblower. The snowblower can efficiently clean dry snow and is suitable for some cold weather and light snow conditions. In the second operation mode, the self-moving device is replaced with a configuration in which the snowpush device 100 is installed. The installation of the snowpush device 100 is conducive to handling wet snow that cannot be completely cleared by the snowblower or other more complex snow conditions. The snowpush device 100 effectively moves wet snow by swinging and pushing, ensuring better results in post-snow cleaning work.
