Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow removal machinery technology, specifically to a new type of road ice breaker. Background Technology
[0002] In northern my country, after rain or snow in winter, if the snow on the road melts or is crushed by vehicles and is not cleared in time, it can easily form a layer of ice on the ground. This layer of ice poses a significant safety hazard to vehicles driving normally and is a major cause of vehicle collision accidents in winter.
[0003] In the prior art, the technical document with publication number CN212688840U discloses an ice-breaking roller. This ice-breaking roller can rotate on the ground and achieve rolling pressure on the ground through the blades. This roller structure can improve efficiency, but its drawback is that the blades are long and strip-shaped. When pressing the ground, they make line pressing contact with the ground and cannot achieve point pressing contact. The pressure is not concentrated, resulting in a reduction in snow removal efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, the prior art also discloses a double-row wheel ice-breaking and snow-removing machine with patent number 201510177969.0. This type of ice-breaking and snow-removing machine is divided into a front row of ice-breaking wheels and a rear row of ice-breaking wheels. Both the front row of ice-breaking wheels and the rear row of ice-breaking wheels include multiple sets of ice-breaking wheels of equal number and are arranged in an alternating manner. This structure uses the aforementioned wheel-type ice-breaking equipment to break ice while rolling. However, due to the large number of independent modules, the assembly efficiency of this type of equipment is low, the equipment failure rate is high, and it is very inconvenient to maintain in cold winters.
[0005] In the existing technology, if a special ice-breaking device is not used for snow removal, the common manual method is to first break the snow with a sharp object, and then remove it with a knife in the line area or surface area. This method has a high snow removal efficiency.
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the urgent technical problem to be solved by technical personnel in this industry is: how to design a road ice-breaking device based on existing technologies, with the aim of combining the current principles of manual snow removal and mechanical snow removal, and carrying out efficient snow removal through point, line and surface gradual methods. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a new type of road ice-breaking machine, which improves the roller structure, first breaks up the snow layer on the ground through multiple points, and then expands the snow removal area through linear blades to achieve efficient processing.
[0008] A novel road ice-breaking machine includes a traction frame with a hinged drive seat; a front roller frame and a rear roller frame are hinged at the bottom of the traction frame, and a spring base is provided on the front roller frame and the rear roller frame to fix an elastic component between the spring base and the upper hinge shaft below the traction frame; the elastic component is inclined.
[0009] The front roller frame is a single unit, with one or two front rollers mounted on it; the rear roller frames consist of three or more units, with one rear roller mounted on each rear roller frame.
[0010] The outer wall of the front roller is provided with several fixed seats, and each fixed seat is fixed with a cone head, which is oriented outwards;
[0011] The rear rollers all include several annular support discs, which together fix several blades on the periphery. The blades are radially evenly distributed and fixed on the annular support discs.
[0012] The rear roller is symmetrical on both sides and has two annular support discs on each side. The four annular support discs are used to fix several blades around each other.
[0013] Several support plates are provided below the traction frame, and the support plates are spaced apart to provide support and reinforcement for the entire traction frame.
[0014] The support plate is provided with buffer blocks on the left and right sides, and the buffer blocks are in pressure contact with the front roller frame and the rear roller frame.
[0015] The aforementioned rear roller frames are spaced apart, with a gap of more than 5 mm between adjacent rear roller frames.
[0016] The fixed base is provided with a locking sleeve, the top of the locking sleeve is provided with an end cap, a locking screw is provided through the end cap, and a locking section is provided on the cone head. The locking section is inserted into the locking sleeve and locked together with the locking screw.
[0017] The traction frame is equipped with protective covers on both the front and rear sides to provide internal protection and prevent external impurities from entering and damaging the springs.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has inclined and fixed elastic components between the front roller frame and the rear roller frame and the traction frame; the front roller frame is a single unit, with one or two front rollers mounted on it; the rear roller frames consist of three or more units, each with a rear roller mounted on it; several fixed seats are provided on the outer wall of the front rollers, each fixed seat having a cone head fixed on it with the cone head facing outwards; several blades are radially evenly distributed and fixed on the annular support plate on the rear rollers; with the above structural configuration, when the equipment is running, the cone head on the front rollers can first break up ice accumulation at multiple points on the ground, and then the blades on the rear rollers can cut the initially broken snow or ice, achieving a point-to-line approach followed by final surface destruction through annular roller pressing, thus improving snow removal efficiency. Furthermore, when the ground is uneven, the elastic components cushion the movement by allowing the equipment to undulate and rest close to the ground, preventing direct impact from snow, ice, and the blades on the ground. This ground-hugging ice-breaking method improves ice-breaking efficiency and avoids damage to the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0026] As shown in the figure, this utility model uses a double-row roller or roller structure at the front and rear. The front side is equipped with an impact structure that can work on a point, and the rear side is equipped with an impact structure that works on a line. The front and rear work together to achieve point and line damage to the ice on the ground, and finally achieve the removal of large areas of ice and snow.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] As shown in the attached figure, a new type of road icebreaker includes a traction frame 1. The traction frame 1 is provided with at least two side plates 11 and a top cover connecting the two side plates 11. The top of the top cover is provided with a hinged drive seat 10 for connecting and fixing the device to an external drive device.
[0029] The bottom of the traction frame 1 is hinged with a front roller frame 2 and a rear roller frame 3 via a hinge shaft 31. In this embodiment, the front roller frame 2 is a single unit with a single front roller 22. For ease of installation, there are three or more rear roller frames 3, each with a rear roller 6. The outer wall of the front roller 22 is provided with several fixing seats 51, and each fixing seat 51 is fixed with a cone head 5, which faces outward.
[0030] Through the above structural design, this utility model designs the front roller 22 as a single roller with its surface covered with cones 5. During rotation, it breaks down snow and ice accumulation point by point. Because the front roller 22 is the first to contact the ground and initiate the initial breakdown of snow and ice, it experiences the greatest impact force, resulting in a higher failure rate than the rear roller 6. This design is easier to install and maintain. The rear roller frame 3 consists of three rollers. During installation, these rear roller frames 3 are spaced apart, with a gap of at least 5 mm between adjacent frames, ideally within 1 cm, to minimize unreachable strip-shaped areas on the road. Since each rear roller frame 3 has a rear roller 6, the independent arrangement of the three rear rollers 6 allows for more flexible and independent vibration, increasing the impact frequency and intensity on the ground, which is beneficial for snow and ice removal. The rear roller 6 is provided with several annular support discs, which together fix several blades 63 on the periphery. The blades 63 are radially evenly distributed and fixed on the annular support discs. To further improve strength, the rear roller 6 is symmetrically provided with two annular support discs on the left and right sides, namely an outer annular support disc 61 and an inner annular support disc 62. The blades 63 are fixed around the roller by a total of four annular support discs on the left and right sides.
[0031] To prevent the front roller 22 and rear roller 6 from experiencing a strong reaction force due to hard impact on the ground during movement, this invention provides spring bases 41 on the top plate 21 of both the front roller frame 2 and the rear roller frame 3, fixing elastic components between them and the upper hinge shaft 15 below the traction frame 1. In this embodiment, the elastic components are inclined shock-absorbing springs 4. When the ground is uneven, the front roller 22 and rear roller 6 move up and down to buffer against the ground under the action of the shock-absorbing springs 4, avoiding direct impact on snow, ice, and blades on the ground. This improves ice-breaking efficiency while breaking ice close to the ground and avoids damage to the equipment. Protective covers 12 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the traction frame 1, providing internal protection to prevent external impurities from entering and damaging the shock-absorbing springs 4.
[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of support plates 16 are provided below the traction frame 1, and the support plates 16 are spaced apart to provide support and reinforcement for the entire traction frame 1.
[0033] Furthermore, buffer blocks 14 are provided on both the left and right sides of the support plate 13, and the buffer blocks 14 are in contact with the front roller frame 2 and the rear roller frame 3. This can achieve buffering and shock absorption when walking on undulating roads.
[0034] The fixed base 51 is provided with a locking sleeve 52, and the top of the locking sleeve 52 is provided with an end cap 54. A locking screw 55 is provided through the end cap. The cone head 5 is provided with a locking section 53, which is inserted into the locking sleeve 52 and locked together with the locking screw 55. This structure makes the cone head 5 a quick-release type, which is more convenient to replace since the cone head 5 is a wear part.
[0035] In summary, when this equipment is in operation, it can first break up ice accumulation at multiple points on the ground through the cone head 5 on the front roller 22, and then cut the initially broken ice and snow through several blades 63 on the rear roller 6, realizing the destruction from point to line and then finally achieving surface destruction through the ring roller pressing, thereby improving snow removal efficiency. Furthermore, through structural improvements, the front roller 22 is simplified, improving assembly and maintenance efficiency without affecting snow removal efficiency.
