TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to road construction technical field, concretely is a kind of backflow type gravity heat pipe for road snow melting. BACKGROUND
[0002] 75% of the land area of our country is in frozen region. In cold winter, the snow on the surface of road is easily formed into thin ice under the joint action of low temperature and vehicle load, which threatens the safety of road traffic. According to test, the adhesion coefficient of asphalt pavement will be reduced by 51%~74% under the condition of ice and snow. The reduction of adhesion coefficient of pavement makes the stability of braking direction of automobile worse, which often leads to the loss of control of vehicle direction, brake failure and significant extension of braking distance. Moreover, the driver drives on the ice and snow road, which is stimulated by strong light reflection, and then leads to frequent traffic accidents, threatening the safety of people's life and property. Relevant statistics show that the traffic accidents caused by road snow and ice account for 35% of the total amount of winter traffic accidents. At the same time, the design of road in ice and snow area is also one of the problems that have long plagued road workers. In order to ensure the traffic safety and capacity of key nodes such as long and large longitudinal slope, curve, tunnel entrance and exit, bridge and so on under the condition of ice and snow, the road designers have to take measures such as extending the length of slope and changing the radius of curve to ensure the smooth traffic of vehicle in ice and snow weather. However, the above measures not only greatly increase the construction cost of road, but also bring many inconveniences to the life and production of residents and enterprises along the road.
[0003] Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, the emerging technology of energy-saving and carbon-reducing traffic infrastructure is developed vigorously. The gravity heat pipe heating road snow melting system utilizes renewable energy geothermal energy to realize the active ice melting and snow removing of road, avoids the energy consumption, emission and pollution problems caused by mechanical snow removing and snow melting agent production, and is a high-efficiency, low-carbon and environmentally-friendly road snow removing technology. However, the gravity heat pipe is restricted by many problems such as insufficient construction conditions and poor heat transfer efficiency, and cannot be reasonably applied in all projects. It is of great significance to accelerate the pace of reducing carbon emission, guide green technology innovation and explore the application of more reasonable and efficient gravity heat pipe to collect shallow geothermal energy to achieve the "active" snow melting and ice melting of road in winter.
