The hopper and the inner side of the upper surrounding plate form a de-icing agent storage box. The bag breaking mechanism is located on the inner side of the upper surrounding plate, and the hopper discharge mechanism is located at the bottom outlet of the hopper. Vertical poles are connected to the bottom of the four surrounding plates at their joints, and the bottom ends of the vertical poles are supported on the ground by a base plate. A pair of horizontal bars are connected between opposite vertical poles, and a pair of shovel slots for forklift forks are connected between the two horizontal bars. The two shovel slots are located on both sides of the hopper. In use, the device is first supported on the ground, the de-icing agent ton bag is lifted to the top of the device by a forklift, the ton bag is lowered, and the bag breaking mechanism opens the ton bag, storing the de-icing agent in the de-icing agent storage box. The forklift then lifts the equipment above the de-icing agent distributor's inlet using its chute. The hopper outlet is opened via the hopper discharge mechanism, and closed after dispensing. This eliminates the need for operators to climb and break the bags, effectively improving safety and simplifying operation.

[0006] Preferably, the bag-breaking mechanism includes a main spike, and a pair of horizontally arranged support beams are staggered at the center of the connection between the inner sides of the four side panels. A support pole is vertically arranged at the intersection of the two support beams, and the main spike is located at the top of the support pole. The height of the top of the main spike is the same as the height of the top of the side panel. When in use, the de-icing agent ton bag is lifted to the top of the equipment by a forklift and then lowered, and is opened by the main spike.

[0007] Preferably, the bag-breaking mechanism further includes blades, with four blades obliquely connected below the main spike and between the support beam and the inner side of the surrounding plate. The blades are used to work in conjunction with the main spike to improve the bag-breaking effect.

[0008] Preferably, the hopper discharge mechanism includes a sealing plate, a tension spring, and a pull rope. Slots are provided on both sides of the hopper bottom outlet. The sealing plate is slidably connected within the slots. One end of the tension spring and one end of the pull rope are respectively connected to opposite edges of the sealing plate.

[0016] like Figure 1-4As shown, a de-icing agent ton bag breaking device includes a structure comprising a surrounding plate 1, a hopper 2, a bag breaking mechanism, a hopper discharge mechanism, and a shovel groove 10. The four surrounding plates 1 form a vertically continuous cubic or rectangular structure. The hopper 2 is connected to the lower middle part of the inner side of the four surrounding plates 1. The hopper 2 and the inner side of the upper surrounding plate 1 form a de-icing agent storage box. The bag breaking mechanism is provided on the inner side of the upper surrounding plate 1 of the hopper 2. The hopper discharge mechanism is provided at the bottom outlet of the hopper 2. The bottom of the four surrounding plates 1 is connected to the bottom of the connection point, and the bottom of the uprights 7 is supported on the ground by the bottom plate 8. A pair of horizontal bars 9 are connected between opposite uprights 7. A pair of shovel grooves 10 for forklift forks are connected between the two horizontal bars 9. The two shovel grooves 10 are located on both sides of the hopper 2.

[0017] In use, the equipment is first supported on the ground. A forklift is used to lift the de-icing agent ton bag to the top of the equipment, lower the ton bag, and open it through the bag-breaking mechanism. The de-icing agent is then stored in the de-icing agent storage box. Then, the forklift lifts the equipment above the de-icing agent spreading vehicle's feeding port through the shovel 10, and opens the hopper 2 discharge port through the hopper discharge mechanism. After feeding is completed, the discharge port is closed.

[0018] In the specific design, the main structure is welded from 304 stainless steel plates and 304 stainless steel square tubes. The enclosed de-icing agent storage box should be able to hold the storage capacity of one ton bag of de-icing agent, with a volume of approximately 1.1 m³.

[0019] The bag-breaking mechanism specifically includes a main spike 5 and blades 6. A pair of horizontally arranged support beams 3 are staggered at the middle of the connection between the inner sides of the four surrounding plates 1. A support pole 4 is vertically arranged at the intersection of the two support beams 3. The main spike 5 is located at the top of the support pole 4. The height of the top of the main spike 5 is the same as the height of the top of the surrounding plate 1. Four blades 6 are obliquely connected below the main spike 5 and between the support beams 3 and the inner side of the surrounding plate 1.

[0020] When in use, the de-icing agent ton bag is lifted to the top of the equipment and lowered down using a forklift, and then opened through the main spike 5 and the blade 6.

[0021] In the specific design, the main spike 5 can be made of stainless steel round steel with a polished tip, used to break the bag and open the hole; the blade 6 can be made of thick stainless steel plate with double-sided chamfering to form a cutting edge, used to help enlarge the small opening formed by the main spike 5 and quickly release the de-icing agent.

[0022] The hopper discharge mechanism specifically includes a sealing plate 12, a tension spring 13, and a pull rope 15. The bottom outlet of the hopper 2 is provided with grooves 11 on both sides. The sealing plate 12 is slidably connected in the grooves 11. The opposite two sides of the sealing plate 12 are respectively connected to one end of the tension spring 13 and the pull rope 15. The other end of the tension spring 13 is fixed on the fixing plate 14. The fixing plate 14 is connected between the two shovel grooves 10. The other end of the pull rope 15 passes around the fixed pulley 16. The fixed pulley 16 is installed on the fixing groove 17. The fixing groove 17 is fixed between the two shovel grooves 10.

[0023] When in use, the forklift lifts the equipment above the feeding port of the de-icing agent spreader, pulls the pull rope 15, and causes the sealing plate 12 to slide outward along the slide groove 11, opening the bottom outlet of the hopper 2 for feeding. After feeding is completed, the pull rope 15 is released, the tension spring 13 retracts, and drives the sealing plate 12 back to its original position, closing the bottom outlet of the hopper 2.

[0024] In the specific design and use, considering the danger of the main spike 5 and the blade 6, a reliable cover plate can be added to the top when the equipment is not in use. During the lifting and lowering of the equipment by a forklift and the operation of the pull rope, personnel should be kept away from the equipment to ensure safety. De-icing agent residue will remain in the chute 11 after long-term use of the equipment and should be cleaned regularly. If the sealing plate 12 cannot return to its original position after being stretched, it can be stretched again, and the pull rope 15 can be quickly released to allow it to return to its original position using inertia.

[0025] All of the components described above are existing technologies, and those skilled in the art can use any model and existing design that can achieve their corresponding functions.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
