Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of snow removal technology for power equipment, and specifically relates to an automatic snow removal device for power equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Power equipment refers to various devices and apparatuses used for power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. They play a vital role in the power system, ensuring the safe and efficient transmission of electricity from power plants to users. Currently, in the cold winter, snowfall and snow accumulation can have adverse effects on power equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the power equipment.

[0003] The existing methods for clearing snow from power equipment mainly include manual snow removal using tools. However, this method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has poor cleaning results, making it difficult to achieve efficient and continuous automated snow removal. In addition, there is also the method of installing heating wires to melt the snow, but this method is prone to backflow of snow water, which can lead to bigger problems such as short circuits or equipment damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic snow removal device for power equipment, which can greatly improve the effect of power equipment through the combination of multiple snow removal structures, realize efficient and continuous automated snow removal operations, and improve the snow removal effect.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic snow removal device for power equipment, including guide rails and a snow removal mechanism installed on them. The snow removal mechanism is used to clear snow from the top of the power equipment. There are two guide rails. The snow removal mechanism includes a traveling truss slidably connected between the two guide rails. Air inlets are provided at the lower ends of both sides of the traveling truss. Blowers are provided at both ends of the traveling truss. Air ducts are provided at both ends of the traveling truss. The blowers are connected to the adjacent air ducts on the same side. A brush frame is slidably connected to the bottom of the traveling truss. The lower brush of the brush frame contacts the top of the power equipment. The traveling truss is also provided with a reciprocating drive component for driving the brush frame to move back and forth. That is, the multiple snow removal structures work together to greatly improve the effect of the power equipment, realize efficient and continuous automated snow removal operation, and improve the snow removal effect.

[0006] The reciprocating drive assembly includes a fixed block disposed at the upper end of the brush holder, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the traveling truss, and an eccentric wheel at the lower end of the rotating rod. The eccentric wheel moves in contact with the fixed block, thus causing the brush holder to reciprocate.

[0007] The reciprocating drive assembly also includes a spring disposed between one end of the brush holder and the adjacent end of the inner cavity of the traveling truss, which provides a restoring force for the brush holder.

[0008] The reciprocating drive assembly also includes a motor mounted on the upper end of the traveling truss. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, thus providing a drive source for the rotating rod and the eccentric wheel.

[0009] The reciprocating drive assembly also includes multiple rotating rollers that are uniformly rotatably connected to the side of the fixed block near the eccentric wheel. The rotating rollers are all configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the eccentric wheel, thus ensuring smooth contact transmission between the two.

[0010] The brush holder has a guide rod at one end near the spring, and the traveling truss has a sliding hole that is slidably connected to the guide rod, thus ensuring that the spring can extend and retract smoothly.

[0011] The air vents are all angled downwards from the outside to ensure that the air is accurately directed onto the surface of the electrical equipment.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. First, install the guide rails on both sides of the top of the power equipment. Then, slide the traveling truss between the two guide rails. After that, when snow removal is needed, start the traveling truss, blower, and motor. The traveling truss moves back and forth along the guide rails. The airflow generated by the blower blows the air to the top of the power equipment through the air duct and air outlet to achieve initial snow removal. At the same time, the brush frame contacts the top of the power equipment. During the movement of the traveling truss, the brush physically sweeps away the remaining snow. The combination of multiple snow removal structures greatly improves the effectiveness of the power equipment.

[0014] 2. The rotation of the motor output shaft drives the rotating rod and the eccentric wheel to rotate synchronously. When the end of the eccentric wheel away from the center contacts the fixed block, it pushes the brush holder and its auxiliary mechanism to move against the spring force. When the end of the eccentric wheel away from the center separates from the fixed block, the brush holder and its auxiliary mechanism return to their original position under the action of the spring rebound force. This process is repeated continuously during the rotation of the eccentric wheel, so that the brush holder moves back and forth, thereby realizing efficient and continuous automated snow removal operation and improving the snow removal effect.

[0015] 3. The guide rod serves to guide the spring. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] This embodiment provides an automatic snow removal device for power equipment, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown: It includes guide rails 100 and a snow removal mechanism mounted on them. The snow removal mechanism is used to clear snow from the top of the power equipment. There are two guide rails 100. The snow removal mechanism includes a traveling truss 200 slidably connected between the two guide rails 100. Air vents 201 are provided at the lower ends of both sides of the traveling truss 200. Blowers 202 are provided at both ends of the traveling truss 200. Air ducts 203 are provided at both ends of the traveling truss 200. The blowers 202 are connected to the adjacent air ducts 203 on the same side. A brush holder 204 is slidably connected to the bottom of the traveling truss 200. The lower brush of the brush holder 204 contacts the top of the power equipment. The traveling truss 200 is also provided with a reciprocating drive assembly for driving the brush holder 204 to move back and forth.

[0023] First, guide rails 100 are installed on both sides of the top of the power equipment. Then, the traveling truss 200 is slidably connected between the two guide rails 100. Afterward, when snow removal is needed, the traveling truss 200 and blower 202 are activated. The traveling truss 200 moves back and forth along the guide rails 100. The airflow generated by the blower 202 is blown towards the top of the power equipment through the air duct 203 and air outlet 201, achieving initial snow removal. Simultaneously, the brush holder 204 contacts the top of the power equipment. During the movement of the traveling truss 200, the brush physically sweeps away residual snow. During this process, the reciprocating drive assembly drives the brush holder 204 and its auxiliary mechanisms to move back and forth, thereby achieving efficient and continuous automated snow removal operations and improving the snow removal effect.

[0024] like Figure 2-3As shown, the reciprocating drive assembly includes a fixed block 300 disposed on the upper end of the brush holder 204, a rotating rod 301 rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the traveling truss 200, and an eccentric wheel 302 disposed at the lower end of the rotating rod 301, the eccentric wheel 302 being in contact with the fixed block 300.

[0025] When the eccentric wheel 302 rotates, and the end of the eccentric wheel 302 away from the center contacts the fixed block 300, it pushes the brush holder 204 and its auxiliary mechanism to move against the elastic force of the spring 303. When the end of the eccentric wheel 302 away from the center separates from the fixed block 300, the brush holder 204 and its auxiliary mechanism are reset under the action of the spring 303. This process is repeated continuously during the rotation of the eccentric wheel 302, so that the brush holder 204 moves back and forth.

[0026] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the reciprocating drive assembly also includes a spring 303 disposed between one end of the brush holder 204 and the adjacent end of the inner cavity of the traveling truss 200.

[0027] Spring 303 uses its own elasticity to provide a reset for brush holder 204.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the reciprocating drive assembly also includes a motor 304 disposed on the upper end of the traveling truss 200, and the output shaft of the motor 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 301.

[0029] The output shaft of motor 304 rotates, driving the rotating rod 301 and the eccentric wheel 302 to rotate synchronously, providing a driving source for the rotating rod 301 and the eccentric wheel 302.

[0030] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the reciprocating drive assembly also includes a plurality of rotating rollers 305 that are uniformly rotatably connected to the fixed block 300 on the side near the eccentric wheel 302, and the rotating rollers 305 are all configured to cooperate with the outer arc surface of the eccentric wheel 302.

[0031] The rotating roller 305 is used to reduce the friction between the eccentric wheel 302 and the fixed block 300, ensuring smooth transmission between the two.

[0032] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the brush holder 204 is provided with a guide rod 400 at one end near the spring 303, and the traveling truss 200 is provided with a sliding hole that is slidably connected to the guide rod 400.

[0033] The guide rod 400 guides the spring 303, ensuring that the spring 303 can extend and retract smoothly.

[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the air vents 201 are all angled downwards from the outside to ensure that they can accurately blow air onto the surface of the electrical equipment.

[0035] The working principle of the automatic snow removal device for power equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the guide rails 100 are installed on both sides of the top of the power equipment. Then, the traveling truss 200 is slidably connected between the two guide rails 100. After that, when snow removal is required, the traveling truss 200, the blower 202 and the motor 304 are started. The traveling truss 200 moves back and forth along the guide rails 100. The airflow generated by the blower 202 is blown to the top of the power equipment through the air duct 203 and the air outlet 201 to achieve initial snow removal. Meanwhile, the brush holder 204 contacts the top of the power equipment. During the movement of the traveling truss 200, the brush physically sweeps away the remaining snow. During this process, the output shaft of the motor 304 rotates, driving the rotating rod 301 and the eccentric wheel 302 to rotate synchronously. When the end of the eccentric wheel 302 away from the center contacts the fixed block 300, it pushes the brush holder 204 and its auxiliary mechanism to move against the elastic force of the spring 303. When the end of the eccentric wheel 302 away from the center separates from the fixed block 300, the brush holder 204 and its auxiliary mechanism are reset under the action of the spring 303. This process is repeated continuously during the rotation of the eccentric wheel 302, so that the brush holder 204 moves back and forth, thereby realizing efficient and continuous automated snow removal operation and improving the snow removal effect. The guide rod 400 guides the spring 303.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
