Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow removal equipment technology, and more specifically, to a snow removal vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Snowplows are commonly used equipment for clearing snow from roads. They mainly utilize the rotation of a roller brush mounted on the snowplow to sweep away the snow accumulated on the road surface. During the snow removal process, snow gradually sticks to the bristles of the roller brush. As the snow continues to accumulate on the bristles, it freezes onto the brush, causing the bristles to harden. In severe cases, the bristles break, affecting the snow removal effect of the roller brush. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem this invention solves is: how to ensure the snow-clearing effect of the roller brush.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a snow removal vehicle, including a vehicle body, a roller brush cover and a roller brush. The roller brush cover is installed on the vehicle body, and the roller brush is rotatably installed on the open end of the roller brush cover facing the ground. A resistance wire for electric heating is embedded in the inner wall of the roller brush cover facing the roller brush.

[0005] Optionally, the snow removal vehicle further includes a blower, which is mounted on the roller brush cover, and the air outlet of the blower is connected to the roller brush cover.

[0006] Optionally, the snowplow also includes a shovel for shoveling snow, which is mounted on the end of the vehicle body away from the roller brush cover via a hydraulic system.

[0007] Optionally, a plurality of shovels are provided, arranged along the width direction of the vehicle body, and each shovel is installed on the end of the vehicle body away from the roller brush cover by a hydraulic system.

[0008] Optionally, the shovel is provided with a heating element for heating the shovel.

[0009] Optionally, a locator is installed on the vehicle body.

[0010] Optionally, the brush body of the roller brush is made of PVC board, and the brush bristles are made of steel wire.

[0011] Optionally, the snowplow also includes a salt storage tank and a salt spreading pipe installed on the vehicle body. The salt outlet of the salt storage tank is connected to the salt spreading pipe. The salt spreading pipe is equipped with a spiral conveying structure and a salt spreading port is provided on the pipe wall, with the salt spreading port facing the ground.

[0012] Optionally, one end of the salt storage tank is a salt inlet, and a sealing cap is provided at the salt inlet.

[0013] Optionally, the vehicle's running structure is configured as a tracked structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the snow removal vehicle of this utility model uses a rotating roller brush mounted on the open end of the roller brush cover facing the ground. The inner wall of the roller brush cover facing the roller brush has an embedded resistance wire for heating. When energized, the resistance wire heats the roller brush cover, raising the temperature within the space enclosed by the roller brush cover.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the attached diagram, the Z-axis represents the vertical position, with the positive direction of the Z-axis (where the arrow points) indicating the top and the negative direction (opposite to the positive direction) indicating the bottom. The X-axis represents the horizontal position, with the positive direction of the X-axis (where the arrow points) indicating the right and the negative direction (opposite to the positive direction) indicating the left. The Y-axis represents the front-back position, with the positive direction of the Y-axis (where the arrow points) indicating the rear and the negative direction (opposite to the positive direction) indicating the front. It should be noted that the aforementioned representations of the Z, Y, and X axes are for ease of description and simplification of the invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this utility model described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a snow removal vehicle, including a vehicle body 1, a roller brush cover 2 and a roller brush 3. The roller brush cover 2 is installed on the vehicle body 1, and the roller brush 3 is rotatably installed on the open end of the roller brush cover 2 facing the ground. A resistance wire for electric heating is embedded in the inner wall of the roller brush cover 2 facing the roller brush 3.

[0024] Specifically, the roller brush cover 3 can be installed at the front end of the vehicle body 1 using an existing hydraulic system, and its position can be adjusted via the hydraulic system, such as lifting or rotating the roller brush cover 3. The length direction of the roller brush cover 3 is consistent with the width direction of the vehicle body 1, and it is provided with a trapezoidal groove extending along the width direction of the vehicle. The opening end (groove opening) of the trapezoidal groove faces downward, and the roller brush 3 is located at the opening end of the trapezoidal groove. The axial direction of the roller brush 3 is consistent with the width direction of the vehicle, and the two ends of the roller brush 3 in the axial direction can be connected to the roller brush cover 2 through bearing seats, and the roller brush 3 can be rotated around its own axis on the roller brush cover 2 through an external drive structure. Inside the trapezoidal groove, since the roller brush 3 is installed at the opening end of the trapezoidal groove, the inner wall of the trapezoidal groove faces the roller brush 3. The resistance wire is embedded in the inner wall of the trapezoidal groove, and the resistance wire is energized by an external power source. The temperature of the resistance wire rises, which in turn raises the temperature of the space enclosed by the trapezoidal groove, thus baking the roller brush 3.

[0025] Therefore, in this embodiment, the roller brush 3 is rotatably mounted on the open end of the roller brush cover 2 facing the ground. The inner wall of the roller brush cover 2 facing the roller brush 3 is embedded with a resistance wire for heating. When energized, the resistance wire can heat the roller brush cover 2, causing the temperature in the space enclosed by the roller brush cover 2 to rise. In this way, as the roller brush 3 rotates, the roller brush cover 2 can continuously heat the roller brush 3, causing the snow that is frozen or stuck to the roller brush 3 to melt. This can keep the roller brush 3 clean during the snow removal process and prevent the snow removal effect of the roller brush 3 from being reduced due to snow freezing or sticking to the roller brush 3, thereby effectively ensuring the snow removal effect of the roller brush 3.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the temperature of the resistance wire can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. For example, when the rotation speed of the roller brush 3 is relatively fast, the temperature of the resistance wire can be further increased; or, when the vehicle body 1 moves at a relatively fast speed, the temperature of the resistance wire can also be further increased. Therefore, it can be understood that during the snow removal process, it is sufficient to ensure that the temperature of the resistance wire is high enough to allow the snow on the roller brush 3 to fall off the roller brush 3 in a timely and effective manner, rather than melting the snow into water, and no specific temperature requirements are imposed.

[0027] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the snowplow also includes a blower 4, which is mounted on the roller brush cover 2, and the air outlet of the blower 4 is connected to the roller brush cover 2.

[0028] Specifically, the blower 4 can be installed on the top of the roller brush cover 2 using existing connection methods such as threaded fasteners. The top of the roller brush cover 2 is provided with a through hole, and the air outlet of the blower 4 is connected to the through hole to realize the connection between the blower 4 and the roller brush cover 2. The air inlet of the blower 4 can face the rear side of the vehicle body 1 or the front side of the vehicle body 1. However, when the air inlet of the blower 4 faces the front side of the vehicle body 1, the aesthetics are poor.

[0029] Thus, by installing the blower 4 on the roller brush cover 2, with the air outlet of the blower 4 connected to the roller brush cover 2, the airflow blown out by the air outlet of the blower 4 can drive the hot air inside the roller brush cover 2 to flow towards the roller brush 3 at an accelerated speed, thereby fully heating the roller brush 3.

[0030] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the snowplow also includes a shovel 5 for shoveling snow, which is mounted on the end of the vehicle body 1 away from the roller brush cover 2 via a hydraulic system.

[0031] Specifically, the shovel 5 is located at the rear end of the vehicle body 1 and can be installed on the vehicle body 1 by existing means such as a hydraulic system, so that the shovel 5 can be driven to lift, deflect, etc. by the hydraulic system.

[0032] Thus, by using a shovel 5 for snow removal, which is installed on the end of the vehicle body 1 away from the roller brush cover 2 via a hydraulic system, the shovel 5 can remove ice from the road, enabling the snowplow to not only remove snow but also ice, thereby enriching the functions of the snowplow.

[0033] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple shovels 5 arranged along the width of the vehicle body 1, and each shovel 5 is installed on the end of the vehicle body 1 away from the roller brush cover 2 by a hydraulic system.

[0034] Specifically, take three shovels 5 as an example. The three shovels 5 are arranged in sequence along the width of the vehicle. Each shovel 5 is installed at the rear end of the vehicle body 1 through a hydraulic system. When the middle shovel 5 encounters obstacles such as stones or road bumps, it can be lifted individually through the hydraulic system to avoid them, without having to lift all three shovels 5 at the same time, so as to maximize the removal area of ​​the three shovels 5.

[0035] Thus, by arranging multiple shovels 5 along the width of the vehicle body 1, and by installing each shovel 5 on the end of the vehicle body 1 away from the roller brush cover 2 via a hydraulic system, the shovels 5 can be selectively lifted according to the road conditions, ensuring the shovel 5's shoveling efficiency.

[0036] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, a heating element is provided on the shovel 5, which is used to heat the shovel 5.

[0037] Specifically, the heating element works on a similar principle to the resistance wire described earlier. That is, when the heating element is energized, its temperature rises, and the heating element heats the shovel 5, thus raising the temperature of the shovel 5 and preventing snow or ice from sticking to it.

[0038] Thus, by providing a heating element on the shovel 5 for heating the shovel 5, ice or snow on the shovel 5 can be promptly removed after the heating element is powered on, ensuring the shovel 5 remains clean and thereby improving the shovel 5's removal efficiency.

[0039] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, a locator is installed on vehicle body 1.

[0040] Thus, by installing a locator on vehicle body 1, remote positioning of vehicle body 1 can be achieved, thereby enabling unmanned driving of vehicle body 1 and improving the intelligence of vehicle body 1 control.

[0041] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the brush body of the roller brush 3 is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) board, and the bristles of the roller brush 3 are made of steel wire.

[0042] Specifically, the brush body of the roller brush 3 is the mounting structure of the brush bristles of the roller brush 3.

[0043] In this way, by selecting materials, the structural strength of the brush body and bristles can be improved, and the service life of the brush body and bristles can be extended, thereby reducing the cost of using the roller brush 3.

[0044] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the snowplow also includes a salt storage tank 6 and a salt spreading pipe 7 installed on the vehicle body 1. The salt outlet of the salt storage tank 6 is connected to the salt spreading pipe 7. A spiral conveying structure is installed inside the salt spreading pipe 7. A salt spreading port is provided on the pipe wall of the salt spreading pipe 7, and the salt spreading port is set to face the ground.

[0045] Specifically, the salt storage tank 6 is installed on the vehicle body 1 using existing means such as threaded fasteners, and the salt spreading pipe 7 is installed on the vehicle body 1 using existing means such as clamps. The salt spreading pipe 7 is equipped with a spiral conveying structure, and multiple salt spreading ports are opened on the pipe facing the ground. The salt outlet at the bottom of the salt storage tank 6 is connected to the salt spreading pipe 7. When in use, salt is first poured into the salt storage tank 6, and the spiral conveying structure rotates in the salt spreading pipe 7, causing the salt particles entering the salt spreading pipe 7 to be gradually spread from the salt spreading ports to the ground to melt the snow on the road surface.

[0046] Thus, the salt outlet of the salt storage tank 6 is connected to the salt spreading pipe 7. The salt spreading pipe 7 is equipped with a spiral conveying structure and a salt spreading port on its pipe wall, which is set to face the ground. During the snow removal process, the spiral conveying structure can drop the salt inside the salt storage tank 6 from the salt spreading port on the pipe wall of the salt spreading pipe 7 onto the ground, thereby realizing automatic salt spreading and further improving snow removal efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, one end of the salt storage tank 6 is the salt inlet, and a sealing cap 8 is installed at the salt inlet.

[0048] Specifically, the salt inlet is located at the top of the salt storage tank 6, and the sealing cap 8 covers the salt inlet.

[0049] Thus, with one end of the salt storage tank 6 serving as the salt inlet, and a sealing cover 8 installed at the salt inlet, the sealing cover 8 covers the salt inlet to prevent snow from falling into the salt storage tank 6 and causing snow water to appear inside the salt storage tank 6, thereby allowing the snow removal vehicle to still carry out snow removal operations on snowy days.

[0050] Optionally, combined Figure 1 As shown, the running gear of the vehicle body 1 is configured as a tracked structure. Thus, using a tracked structure as the running gear of the vehicle body 1 improves its anti-slip performance and enhances its adaptability to different road surfaces.

[0051] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
