Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of road maintenance equipment, specifically relating to an icebreaker for forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] Northeast China experiences long, harsh winters with heavy snowfall. Especially in recent years, the increasing frequency of extreme weather events due to global warming has exacerbated the problem of icy roads. This not only causes significant inconvenience to transportation but also seriously threatens road safety. Traditional snow removal methods, such as manual shoveling and sand-spreading, while alleviating the problems caused by ice and snow to some extent, are inefficient, labor-intensive, and have limited effectiveness, particularly when dealing with large areas and thick ice layers.

[0003] Snowplows, as the primary tool for mechanized snow removal, perform admirably in clearing snow accumulation, but they fall short when dealing with icy roads. This is because snowplows primarily work by using rotating brushes or pushers to push snow to one side or forward. This physical pushing action is ineffective against hard ice. Even when some snowplows are equipped with ice scrapers or blades, they often lack sufficient breaking power to only remove thin layers of surface ice, rendering them ineffective against deep or large areas of ice. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an icebreaker for forklifts to solve the problem that traditional equipment has difficulty breaking thick ice layers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An icebreaker for forklifts, comprising:

[0007] The outer frame has fixed plates connected to both sides, a connecting frame installed on one side, and a main positioning round shaft connecting plate on one side. A roller is movably installed between the two fixed plates, and an ice-breaking blade is installed on the outside of the roller. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on the side of the two fixed plates near the roller. An eccentric shaft is installed inside the roller, and a counterweight plate is installed on the outside of the eccentric shaft. A hydraulic motor is installed on the side of the connecting plate away from the eccentric shaft via a fixed seat. The output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the shaft drive of the eccentric shaft via a coupling.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of buffer support blocks are fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate near the fixing plate, and the buffer support blocks are fixedly connected to the fixing plate on the side near the fixing plate.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the eccentric shaft are movably connected to the connecting plate via bearings.

[0010] Preferably, a motor protective cover is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate near the hydraulic motor.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) This utility model utilizes a combination of centrifugal force and gravity to powerfully break up ice on the road surface. Under the high-speed drive of the hydraulic motor, the eccentric shaft generates a strong centrifugal force, which drives the roller and the ice-breaking blades on it to rotate rapidly, thereby achieving the cutting and breaking of the ice layer. This working method not only improves the de-icing speed, but also greatly enhances the breaking force, so that even deep or large-area ice layers can be quickly removed. This not only shortens the road closure time and improves the speed of traffic recovery, but also reduces the risk of traffic accidents caused by road icing. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a forklift icebreaker includes:

[0021] The outer frame 1 has fixed plates 2 connected to both sides. A connecting frame 3 is installed on one side of the outer frame 1. A main positioning round shaft connecting plate 4 is set on one side of the outer frame 1. A roller 5 is movably installed between the two fixed plates 2. An ice-breaking blade 6 is set on the outside of the roller 5. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the two fixed plates 2 near the roller 5. An eccentric shaft 8 is set inside the roller 5. A counterweight plate 9 is set on the outside of the eccentric shaft 8. A hydraulic motor 10 is installed on the side of the connecting plate 7 away from the eccentric shaft 8 through a fixed seat. The output end of the hydraulic motor 10 is connected to the shaft drive of the eccentric shaft 8 through a coupling.

[0022] Specifically, several buffer support blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 7 near the fixed plate 2. The buffer support blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 2 on the side near the fixed plate 2. Both ends of the eccentric shaft 8 are movably connected to the connecting plate 7 through bearings. A motor protective cover 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 2 near the hydraulic motor 10.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, the outer frame 1 is connected to the forklift through the connecting frame 3, and the connection is made by bolt structure in the existing technology. The eccentric shaft 8 can generate a certain centrifugal force when the roller 5 rotates under the action of the counterweight plate 9, which, together with its own weight, breaks the ice layer. The hydraulic motor 10 drives the eccentric shaft 8 to rotate.

[0024] When in use, the hydraulic motor 10 is started to drive the eccentric shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the roller 5 to generate centrifugal force, causing the ice-breaking blade 6 to cut the ice surface. At the same time, the forklift will move the overall outer frame 1 down so that the roller 5 can completely break the ice surface. As the roller 5 rotates, the ice-breaking blade 6 continuously cuts and breaks the ice layer, cutting the ice into small pieces or fragments.

[0025] 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.
