Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot-blowing snow removal vehicles, in particular to an engine compartment ventilation system of a hot-blowing snow removal vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, snow removal operations on airport runways and highways in northern my country mostly rely on mechanical snowplows. These vehicles are inefficient and time-consuming, failing to meet the timelines for disaster prevention and reopening airports and highways. Some airports and highways have adopted hot-blow snowplows for efficient snow removal. While these vehicles improve snow removal efficiency and reduce operation time, they are powered by aircraft jet engines, posing a significant fire hazard and prone to fire accidents. These vehicles are specialized motor vehicles designed for rapid snow removal on roads and airport runways. Fuel tanks typically hold enough aviation fuel (approximately 4,000-7,000 kg) for 2.5 hours of aircraft engine operation, making firefighting difficult. Snow removal operations require the presence of specialized fire trucks to provide firefighting support. Due to the potential fire hazards associated with retired aircraft engines, fixed ventilation shutters cannot actively contain fire in the event of a fire. This brings instability to airport safety management. At present, there are no complete specifications and standards in China to guide the design and assembly of hot-blowing snow removal vehicles. The hot-blowing snow removal (melting) engineering vehicles currently produced and used in China are all powered by retired military jet engines. The ventilation shutters in their aircraft engine compartments are all fixed. The disadvantage is that once a fire occurs in the aircraft engine compartment, the fire cannot be quickly isolated. The fire develops rapidly and is easy to ignite the adjacent fuel tanks. The safety of the surrounding area cannot be guaranteed within a certain period of time, and the conditions for self-rescue and fire extinguishing are not met. Therefore, we propose a new engine compartment ventilation system for hot-blowing snow removal vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a ventilation system for the engine compartment of a hot-blowing snow removal vehicle, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

There are a total of four automatic side shutters, and the structural principles of the automatic side shutters and the blade rotation connecting rod are the same.

[0006] Preferably, the side automatic blinds include a blind frame and a drive device, the drive device consists of a drive motor and a drive shaft, the drive motor is installed on the inner side of the aircraft engine compartment, the lower part of the blind frame is fixedly connected to the drive shaft bracket, the drive shaft bracket is movably connected to the drive shaft, the drive shaft is transmission-connected to the drive motor, the left and right outer surfaces of the drive shaft are fixedly connected to the drive shaft rotation connecting pieces, the side of the drive shaft rotation connecting piece away from the drive shaft is movably connected to the blade rotation connecting rod through the rotating shaft, and a number of blind rotation connecting pieces are movably connected to the blade rotation connecting rod through the rotating shaft, the inner wall of the blind frame is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft bracket, and a number of blade rotation shafts are laterally movably connected in the rotating shaft bracket, and the outer surface of each blade rotation shaft is fixedly connected to a movable blind, and the end of the blind rotation connecting piece away from the blade rotation connecting rod is respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the blade rotation shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the movable shutters are coated with a thin fire-retardant coating.

[0008] Preferably, the side automatic blinds and the rear automatic blinds can adopt three control modes: manual opening and closing mode, automatic closing mode and automatic opening and closing mode. The manual opening and closing mode is achieved by issuing instructions through a manual button, the automatic closing mode is achieved by issuing instructions through the security control system, and the automatic opening and closing mode is achieved by issuing instructions through the vehicle-mounted automatic control system.

[0009] Preferably, the driving device can also be composed of a driving cylinder and a driving shaft, the output end of the driving cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the driving shaft, the driving cylinder is installed on the inside of the aircraft engine compartment, and the driving shaft is movably connected to the driving shaft bracket.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This patent enables the aircraft engine compartment to quickly establish a closed space with fire prevention function. After the aircraft engine compartment and the automatic opening and closing shutters are coated with fire-retardant paint, it can ensure that the fire in the aircraft engine compartment will not spill out within the specified time and will not cause secondary fires, thereby buying time for external fire rescue. At the same time, after the aircraft engine compartment space is closed, it meets the application conditions for hot-blowing snowplows to carry out fire self-rescue, reduces the amount of fire extinguishing agents used, and reduces management costs, so that hot-blowing snowplows can carry out self-rescue for fires in the aircraft engine compartment, and improves the safety operation standards of airport auxiliary mechanical equipment.
