[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0028] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1-8 As shown, an ice and snow cleaning vehicle includes: a chassis 1, with a cleaning device 2 and a storage box 3 respectively on both sides of the chassis 1. The chassis 1 itself is equipped with a power mechanism of existing vehicles, such as an electric motor or hydraulic drive, for driving itself and the operation of various components. A conveyor belt 101 is located in the middle of the chassis 1, with the discharge end of the conveyor belt 101 located above the storage box 3. A snow guide plate 102 is provided at the feed end of the conveyor belt 101, contacting the ground to collect snow from the road surface. A first hydraulic cylinder 103 connected to the chassis 1 is located above the cleaning device 2 to control the position adjustment of the cleaning device 2. The tilt angle and height of the snow guide plate 102 can be adjusted as needed, such as using a tilt angle of 10-20 degrees and an overall height of about 20-40 cm. During the shoveling process, the snow can be pushed along the snow guide plate 102 onto the conveyor belt 101 to complete the collection function.

[0029] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 1 As shown, snow-blocking strips 104 are evenly provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 101. The snow-blocking strips 104 can be in the shape of a straight line or a V-shape. During the movement of the snow accumulation, they prevent slippage and improve the conveying effect. In addition, the V-shaped structure has a certain gathering effect, preventing the snow from falling off from both sides and making it more stable.

[0030] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the cleaning device 2 includes a housing 201 and a brush cylinder 202. A support rod 203 connected to the rotating shaft of the chassis 1 is provided on the top of the housing 201. Brush cylinders 202 are respectively installed on both sides of the housing 201. The two ends of the brush cylinders 202 are respectively connected to the housing 201 to form a rotating shaft. At the same time, a pulley or sprocket is installed at one end of the brush cylinder 202, which can be connected to the power mechanism for transmission. For ease of understanding, the connection part between the brush cylinder 202 and the housing 201 is omitted in the figure. Support plates are welded to the front and rear of the housing 201. The support plates have holes, and bearings are installed inside the holes to connect with the brush cylinders 202. The surface of the brush cylinder 202 is arranged with bristles, which complete the sweeping of snow during rotation.

[0031] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 2-6 As shown, a crushing device 4 is symmetrically arranged in the middle of the outer shell 201. The crushing device 4 includes a housing 401 and a cone head 402. The upper part of the housing 401 is connected to the outer shell 201. A crankshaft 403 is provided inside the housing 401. A pulley is installed at one end of the crankshaft 403. At the same time, multiple through holes 404 are evenly arranged along the length of the lower part of the housing 401. The outer shell 201 itself is divided into upper and lower parts, which can be assembled by screws, making it convenient to install the crankshaft 403 and the cone head 402. The cone head 402 is slidably connected to the through holes 404. A support 405 connected to the crankshaft 403 is provided on the upper part of the cone head 402. The lower part of the support 405 is connected to the upper part of the cone head 402 by a rotating shaft, and the upper part is sleeved with the crankshaft 403. By driving the crankshaft 403 to rotate, the multiple cone heads 402 can be divided into two groups to alternately crush the ice surface, resulting in a better crushing effect.

[0032] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 5 As shown, a snow-pressing component 5 is provided on one side of the storage box 3, which can press the snow inside the storage box 3, increase the storage capacity, and improve the single cleaning time. The snow-pressing component 5 can be a support arm 501, a pressing plate 502, and a second hydraulic cylinder 503. The support arm 501 is U-shaped, with one end slidably connected to the chassis 1 and the other end fixed with the pressing plate 502. The pressing plate 502 is located inside the storage box 3. The second hydraulic cylinder 503 is placed vertically, with its bottom end connected to the chassis 1 and its top end connected to the support arm 501. Under normal conditions, the second hydraulic cylinder 503 pushes the pressing plate 502 to the raised state, which will not interfere with the conveyor belt 101 transporting snow. When pressing is required, the second hydraulic cylinder 503 pulls the support arm 501 down to realize the pressing operation.

[0033] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the snow compaction assembly 5 may also include a support arm 501, a pressure plate 502, and a second hydraulic cylinder 503; the support arms 501 are arranged in pairs on the left side of the chassis 1, and an intermediate rod 504 is provided between the two support arms 501; the pressure plate 502 is connected to the end of the support arm 501 and is located inside the storage box 3; one end of the second hydraulic cylinder 503 is connected to the chassis 1, and the other end is connected to the intermediate rod 504. The second hydraulic cylinder 503 drives the support arm 501 to rotate to a certain extent, thereby driving the pressure plate 502 to complete a certain compaction operation.

[0034] The support arm 501 includes a fixed base 505 and an arm body 506. The fixed base 505 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1 at the bottom. One end of the arm body 506 is connected to the pressure plate 502, and the other end is connected to the fixed base 505 by a rotating shaft. The arm body 506 is C-shaped and is driven to rotate by the second hydraulic cylinder 503 to complete the compaction operation. The end of the arm body 506 can be connected to the pressure plate 502 by a rotating shaft or by a fixed connection. When the fixed connection is used, it is not possible to ensure that the entire process is horizontally downward under rotation and pressing. When the rotating shaft connection is used, the pressure plate 502 can achieve a certain level of horizontal pressing by relying on its own balance.

[0035] Preferred embodiments, in combination Figure 8 As shown, the storage box 3 has an openable door 301 on the left side. The upper end of the door 301 is connected to the storage box 3 by a pivot, which facilitates unloading operations.

[0036] Combination Figure 8 As shown, a lifting device 302 for tipping is provided below the storage box 3. It can adopt the hydraulic support in the existing truck structure. The left side of the storage box 3 is connected to the chassis 1 by a rotating shaft. A third hydraulic cylinder connected to the chassis 1 is installed on the right side of the storage box 3. The tipping is achieved by pushing the third hydraulic cylinder.

[0037] This device, as a small snow and ice removal equipment, can be widely used in narrow areas such as sidewalks and alleys to replace manual labor, reduce labor intensity, and improve work efficiency.
