Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bus shelters, in particular to a bus shelter capable of removing accumulated snow. Background Art

[0002] In winter, especially in areas with frequent snowfall, snow accumulation on bus shelters is a common and thorny problem. As snow accumulates, the weight of the snow on the roof continues to increase, placing immense pressure on the shelter structure, potentially causing deformation or even damage. Furthermore, large amounts of snow can form icicles when temperatures fluctuate, which can fall and injure waiting passengers.

[0003] When clearing snow from the roof of a bus shelter, workers typically need to climb up to the top with the help of a ladder. However, in winter, the ground is often covered with snow and becomes slippery, making the ladder extremely unstable during placement and use, making it easy to slip and posing a serious threat to the workers' lives. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem that the existing design of rainwater drainage for bus shelter roofs lacks effective diversion and dispersion measures during heavy rain, resulting in concentrated water flow from the edge of the roof, affecting passengers getting on and off the bus, the present utility model proposes a bus shelter capable of removing snow.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bus shelter capable of removing snow comprises a base, a roof and surrounding walls. The roof comprises a top plate and a mounting frame. A repair hole is provided on the top plate. A protective cover assembly for closing the repair hole is provided on the top plate. Mounting grooves are provided on the lower end surface of the mounting frame and are located on both sides of the repair hole. Slide blocks are provided in the mounting grooves. Ladders are fixed to the lower end surfaces of the two slide blocks. A placement groove is provided on the inner side wall of the surrounding wall. The ladder can move along the mounting groove into the placement groove.

[0007] In winter, when the ground is slippery, traditional ladders are unstable and easy to slip. However, the ladder of this bus shelter is fixed to the roof through mounting grooves and sliders, which is more stable and reduces the risk of workers slipping during climbing.

[0008] The placement groove on the inner wall of the enclosure can properly store the ladder when it is not in use, preventing it from being damaged or becoming unstable due to the influence of the external environment, further improving its safety in use.

[0009] As a preference, a baffle is provided at the notch of the placement groove, and a sliding groove for the baffle to slide into is opened on the side wall of the placement groove.

[0010] The setting of the baffle has many functions. First, in terms of safety protection, when the ladder is placed in the placement slot, the baffle can prevent the ladder from accidentally sliding out of the placement slot due to vibration, external force collision, etc., to avoid harm to waiting passengers. It can also prevent waiting passengers, especially children, from accidentally touching the ladder and causing accidents. Secondly, in terms of aesthetics and tidiness, the baffle can separate the ladder from the waiting area, improve the overall aesthetics of the bus shelter, make the appearance of the bus shelter more tidy and unified, and prevent dust, debris, etc. from entering the placement slot, keeping the environment clean and tidy, and extending the service life of the ladder. When the staff needs to use the ladder, they can easily slide the baffle into the slide slot and take out the ladder. After use, they can easily slide the baffle back to its original position.

[0011] Preferably, a handle is provided on the baffle.

[0012] The handle provides great convenience for operating the baffle. When the ladder is needed, the staff can easily pull the baffle open with the handle, eliminating the need to search for the location or method to open the baffle. When the ladder is finished, the handle can quickly push the baffle back into place to close it.

[0013] Preferably, a first fixing plate is fixed to the lower end face of the ladder, a spring is fixed to the lower end face of the first fixing plate, and a second fixing plate is fixed to the other end of the spring. In the absence of external force, the second fixing plate rests on the upper end face of the base under the action of the spring.

[0014] When a worker works alone and there is no second person to help fix the ladder, the second fixing plate can be pressed against the ground by the elastic force of the spring, thereby fixing the ladder.

[0015] Preferably, the protective cover assembly includes a cover body arranged above the repair hole, and a side door is opened on the side wall of the cover body.

[0016] The cover effectively protects the repair hole. In areas with frequent winter snowfall, simply covering the repair hole with a cover plate can easily cause it to become covered by accumulated snow, making it difficult for workers to open the cover plate to perform snow removal or equipment maintenance. The cover and side door make it easier for workers to access the top of the roof through the repair hole.

[0017] Preferably, guardrails are provided on the front and rear sides of the top plate.

[0018] The roof of a bus shelter can become slippery due to accumulated snow, putting workers at risk of slipping and falling during operations. Guardrails can effectively prevent workers from accidentally falling, ensuring their safety.

[0019] Preferably, the front and rear side walls of the top plate are provided with inclined plates located outside the guardrail.

[0020] When workers clear snow from the roof of a bus shelter, the inclined plate effectively guides the snow's direction of movement. Since bus shelters are often located on the road, without the inclined plate, the cleared snow would likely fall directly onto the road, impacting the safety of passing vehicles and potentially causing traffic jams. The inclined plate, however, allows the snow to slide in a specific direction, away from the road, ensuring smooth traffic and safe driving.

[0021] The inclined plate can prevent the snow from forming icicles on the edge of the roof. Without the inclined plate, the snow will easily accumulate on the edge of the roof and form icicles when the temperature changes. These icicles may fall and injure waiting passengers.

[0028] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely for explanation of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, a bus shelter capable of removing snow includes a base 110, a roof 120 and a surrounding wall 130. The roof 120 includes a top plate 1201 and a mounting frame 1202. Guardrails 190 are provided on the front and rear sides of the top plate 1201. The front and rear side walls of the top plate 1201 are provided with inclined plates 200 located on the outside of the guardrails 190. A repair hole 1203 is provided on the top plate 1201. A protective cover assembly for closing the repair hole 1203 is provided on the top plate 1201. Mounting grooves 1204 located on both sides of the repair hole 1203 are provided on the lower end surface of the mounting frame 1202. Sliders 140 are provided in the mounting grooves 1204. Ladders 150 are fixed to the lower end surfaces of the two slides 140. A placement groove 1301 is provided on the inner side wall of the surrounding wall 130. The ladder 150 can move along the mounting groove 1204 to the placement groove 1301.

[0031] A baffle 1302 is provided at the opening of the placement slot 1301, and a sliding groove 1303 is defined in the sidewall of the placement slot 1301 for the baffle 1302 to slide into. A handle 1304 is provided on the baffle 1302. A first fixing plate 1701 is secured to the lower end of the ladder 150. A spring 1702 is secured to the lower end of the first fixing plate 1701, and a second fixing plate 1703 is secured to the other end of the spring 1702. In the absence of external force, the second fixing plate 1703 rests against the upper end of the base 110 under the action of the spring 1702. The protective cover assembly includes a cover 180 positioned above the repair hole 1203, with a side door 1801 defined in the sidewall of the cover 180.

[0032] The operating principle and process of the bus shelter in this embodiment are as follows: When snow accumulates on roof 120 and requires removal, a worker pushes baffle 1302 into slot 1303, lifts second fixing plate 1703 upward to disengage it from base 110, and moves ladder 150 along mounting slot 1204 to below repair hole 1203. Second fixing plate 1703 is released, and spring 1702 secures ladder 150. The worker then climbs up ladder 150, opens side door 1801 of housing 180, enters roof 120, and uses tools to remove snow. Roof 120 is equipped with railings for worker safety.

[0033] If the cover plate is used directly to close the repair hole 1203, a lot of snow will accumulate on the cover plate after heavy snow, and it will be difficult for the staff to open the cover plate. Therefore, the cover body 180 and the side door 1801 are used in combination to replace the cover plate, which solves the problem that the cover plate is difficult to open after snow accumulation.

[0034] When workers clear snow from the roof of a bus shelter, the inclined plate 200 effectively guides the snow's direction of movement. Since bus shelters are often surrounded by roads, without the inclined plate 200, the cleared snow would likely fall directly onto the road, impacting the safety of passing vehicles and potentially causing traffic jams. However, the presence of the inclined plate 200 allows the snow to slide in a specific direction, away from the road, ensuring smooth traffic and safe driving.

[0035] Sometimes after a heavy snowfall, the temperature will rise to around zero degrees Celsius. At this time, the snow on the top of the roof 120 will melt easily and form icicles. Therefore, inclined plates 200 are provided on the front and rear sides of the top plate 1201 to prevent icicles from forming on the front and rear sides of the roof 120.

[0036] In short, the above is only a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of this embodiment should fall within the scope of coverage of the patent of this embodiment.
