Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow and ice removal technology, specifically a snow and ice removal device for roads and bridges. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of transportation hubs, roads and bridges directly impact the smooth flow of traffic and the safety of public life and property. Especially in cold regions, sudden drops in winter temperatures and severe weather conditions such as snow and ice often lead to ice and snow accumulation on bridge surfaces, seriously affecting driving safety and even causing traffic accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to clear ice and snow from roads and bridges to ensure smooth and safe traffic flow.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202220237580.6 discloses a de-icing and snow removal device for roads and bridges. The ice-breaking roller first cuts the ice on the upper part of the bridge surface with a certain degree through the blade on its surface. Then, the ice surface is heated by the heating wire inside the two electric heating rods on the right side, and the ice is melted a second time. After the ice surface has a certain degree of cracks, the device passes through the shovels on both sides of the connecting platform, and the front side of the shovels is relatively sharp.

[0004] However, the snow removal device cannot flexibly adjust the height and angle of the snowplow during operation to adapt to ice and snow of different thicknesses and hardness, thus reducing the efficiency and effectiveness of snow removal. In addition, it is not effective in breaking ice layers. At the same time, during snow removal operations, the device is prone to excessive downward pressure or upward tilting, which can easily cause damage to the bridge surface.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a snow and ice removal device for roads and bridges to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a de-icing and snow removal device for roads and bridges to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a snow removal device for roads and bridges, comprising a vehicle body, an angle adjustment mechanism, a snowplow, and a breaking plate. The bottom of the front side of the vehicle body has an installation notch. Two sets of vertical cylinders are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the installation notch. An installation block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the output end of each vertical cylinder. An angle adjustment mechanism is matched and connected to the front side of the installation block. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a connecting frame and an adjusting cylinder. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the center position of the front side of the installation block. Two sets of adjusting cylinders are hinged inside the connecting frame. A snowplow is movably connected to the front side of the angle adjustment mechanism. A breaking plate is detachably connected to the bottom edge of the snowplow.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the snowplow, and connecting seats are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mounting plate. The front end of the connecting frame is hinged to the center of the mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the two sets of regulating cylinders are arranged in an "X" shape, and the front ends of the output ends of the two regulating cylinders are respectively matched and hinged to the two connecting seats.

[0010] Preferably, the crushing plate includes a positioning plate, long crushing teeth, and short crushing teeth. The positioning plate is detachably connected to the snowplow, and a plurality of long crushing teeth and short crushing teeth are fixedly connected to the positioning plate at equal intervals and staggered.

[0011] Preferably, two limiting blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected at the bottom edge of the mounting block.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the front side of the mounting notch, and a limiting block is matched and slidably connected within the limiting groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] I. This utility model, through the coordinated arrangement of a vehicle body, an angle adjustment mechanism, a snowplow, and a breaking plate, allows the vehicle body to travel on roads requiring de-icing. The adjustable cylinder supplies power and drives the snowplow to move vertically within the installation notch, adapting to varying ice and snow thicknesses. The angle adjustment mechanism adjusts the angle of the snowplow, and the breaking plate at the bottom of the snowplow utilizes long and short breaking teeth to further break up ice, effectively clearing snow from bridge surfaces, ensuring thorough removal, and avoiding safety hazards.

[0015] Second, this utility model adjusts the angle of the snowplow through an angle adjustment mechanism, making it easier to guide the removed snow and ice to one side of the road during the snow and ice removal process, reducing the impact on traffic. This not only improves work efficiency but also enhances the safety and reliability of the operation. The long and short teeth on the breaking plate are staggered, which can more effectively grasp and break the ice layer, improving the efficiency of snow removal. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 Example 1 illustrates a snow and ice removal device for roads and bridges, comprising a vehicle body 1, an angle adjustment mechanism 5, a snowplow 6, and a breaking plate 7. The bottom of the front side of the vehicle body 1 has an installation notch 2. Two sets of vertical cylinders 3 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the installation notch 2. An installation block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the output end of the vertical cylinder 3. The front side of the installation block 4 is matched with the angle adjustment mechanism 5. The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a connecting frame 501 and an adjusting cylinder 502. The connecting frame 501 is fixedly connected to the center position of the front side of the installation block 4. Two sets of adjusting cylinders 502 are hinged inside the connecting frame 501. The front side of the angle adjustment mechanism 5 is movably connected to the snowplow 6. The edge of the bottom of the snowplow 6 is detachably connected to the breaking plate 7.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The snowplow 6 in the figure is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mounting plate 601. The mounting plate 601 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the mounting plate 602. The front end of the connecting frame 501 is hinged to the center of the mounting plate 601.

[0027] In this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 travels on a road or bridge where snow and ice removal operations are required. The regulating cylinder 502 is energized and outputs power. The extension and retraction of the regulating cylinder 502 causes the connecting frame 501 to drive the snowplow 6 to move vertically up and down within the mounting notch 2 on the front side of the vehicle body 1, in order to adapt to snow and ice of different thicknesses and conditions. The angle of the snowplow 6 can be flexibly adjusted by the operating angle adjustment mechanism 5, thereby achieving effective removal of snow from the bridge. The long breaking teeth 702 and the short breaking teeth 703 on the breaking plate 7 can further break the removed ice blocks, ensuring that the snow and ice are completely removed and avoiding safety hazards caused by ice residue.

[0028] It should be noted that by adjusting the angle of the snowplow 6 through the angle adjustment mechanism 5, the snow removal device can easily guide the removed snow and ice to one side of the road during the snow removal process, reducing the impact on traffic. This not only improves work efficiency but also enhances the safety and reliability of the operation.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Example 2 is described below. This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. In the figure, the two sets of adjusting cylinders 502 are arranged in an "X" shape. The front ends of the output ends of the two adjusting cylinders 502 are respectively matched and hinged to the two connecting seats 602.

[0031] Furthermore, the crushing plate 7 includes a positioning plate 701, long crushing teeth 702 and short crushing teeth 703. The positioning plate 701 is detachably connected to the snowplow 6. Several long crushing teeth 702 and short crushing teeth 703 are fixedly connected to the positioning plate 701 at equal intervals and staggered.

[0032] In this embodiment, the breaking plate 7 includes a positioning plate 701, on which multiple long breaking teeth 702 and short breaking teeth 703 are arranged in a staggered manner. This allows the breaking teeth to more effectively grip the ice layer when the vehicle body 1 is moving, and through their breaking action, the ice layer can be broken into smaller fragments, thereby improving the efficiency of the de-icing operation and ensuring the safe driving of the vehicle body 1 on the ice surface.

[0033] It should be noted that in actual operation, the mounting plate 601 and connecting seat 602 of the snowplow 6 allow the crushing plate 7 to be quickly replaced, improving the maintenance efficiency and operational flexibility of the device. It also allows for easy installation or replacement of the crushing teeth to meet the needs of different operating conditions.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6Example 3 is described below. This embodiment further illustrates Example 2. In the figure, two limiting blocks 8 are symmetrically fixedly connected at the bottom edge of the mounting block 4.

[0036] Furthermore, a limiting groove 9 is provided on the front side of the installation notch 2, and a limiting block 8 is matched and slidably connected within the limiting groove 9;

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting block 8 at the bottom of the mounting block 4 works in conjunction with the limiting slide groove 9 on the front side of the mounting notch 2 to ensure the range of movement of the snowplow 6 in the vertical direction, prevent excessive downward pressure from damaging the device or affecting the bridge structure, ensure the stability and safety of the snow removal device during operation, prevent the snowplow 6 from being excessively pressed down or tilted up during snow removal, and ensure appropriate contact pressure between the snowplow and the bridge surface.

[0038] It should be noted that the limiting block 8 at the bottom of the mounting block 4 works in conjunction with the limiting groove 9 on the front side of the mounting notch 2 to ensure the stability and safety of the snow removal device during operation and to prevent the snowplow 6 from moving excessively during operation.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
