Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow removal equipment technology, and in particular to a contour-following snow scraper. Background Technology

[0002] Snow removal equipment, as a core component of winter road maintenance, directly impacts traffic safety and efficiency. Traditional snowplows typically employ a multi-shovel parallel structure, adjusting the overall scraping angle via a rotating bearing plate and using a compression spring system to passively conform the snowplow crossarm. This structure reveals significant flaws in practical applications: when the road surface exhibits continuous undulations or localized depressions, the rigidly connected snowplow crossarm and integrated spring system force all blades to maintain the same height for snow removal. This not only prevents effective removal of snow from low-lying areas but also causes a sharp increase in localized pressure due to the drastically reduced contact area between the blades and the ground, leading to blade breakage, road surface scratches, or even structural damage to the equipment.

[0003] Existing technology improves the integrated snowplow assembly into separate, independent snowplow assemblies, and incorporates independent return springs to create height differences between the assemblies. While each individual snowplow assembly can independently rise and fall vertically to form a stepped distribution, its blade angle remains rigidly locked to the snowplow crossbar. When there are local depressions or small potholes in the road surface, the blade cannot adjust its angle to conform to the concave terrain, significantly reducing the continuity of snow removal. Furthermore, stress concentration at the blade-ground contact point not only causes significant operating noise but also accelerates blade wear, increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, breaking through the rigid angle constraints of the split shovel assembly and endowing individual shovel blades with adaptive angle adjustment capabilities has become a key breakthrough in improving snow removal efficiency in complex terrain. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] In the description of the utility model, it needs to explain, the term "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "top / bottom end" and so on indicate the orientation or position relation is based on the orientation or position relation shown in the drawing, only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a particular orientation, construct and operate in a particular orientation, therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. In addition, the term "first", "second" is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the utility model, it needs to explain, unless otherwise expressly provided and limited, the term "installation", "set with", "sleeve / interface", "connection" and so on, should be understood broadly, for example, "connection", can be wall-mounted connection, can also be detachable connection, or integrally connected, can be mechanical connection, can also be electrical connection, can be directly connected, can also be indirectly connected through intermediate medium, can be the communication inside two elements, for ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1-5 , the utility model embodiment provides a profiling snow shovel, including bucket body 1, shovel 2, rotating connecting piece, fastener and elastic reset piece.

[0032] The bucket body 1 is rigid arc structure that a plurality of plate pieces are mutually welded.The bucket body 1 includes the limiting top plate 13 fixedly arranged at landing side, back plate 12 and the front plate 1 movably connected.To explain the relative position relationship of the limiting top plate 13, back plate 12 and front plate 1, now introduce the definition of flat groove 14.As shown in Figure 2 , the front plate 1 is oppositely arranged with the back plate 12, and the flat groove 14 is jointly constructed, which provides installation space and out-of-plane limiting effect for the shovel 2.

[0033] In the embodiment, the rotating connecting piece is a group of shaft sleeve groups 3.The shaft sleeve group 3 includes a plurality of shaft sleeves for providing installation positioning and movement guide for the shovel 2.As shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , the plurality of shaft sleeves are fixedly arranged on the surface of the back plate 12 towards the front plate 1.Preferably, the plurality of shaft sleeves are spaced apart along the span direction of the bucket body 1, that is, along the extension direction parallel to the limiting top plate 13.Specifically, the shaft sleeve group 3 includes a center shaft sleeve 31 and a plurality of limiting shaft sleeves 32, the center shaft sleeve 31 is fixed on the longitudinal center axis of the back plate 12, and the plurality of limiting shaft sleeves 32 are mirror image arranged on both sides of the center shaft sleeve 31 and are arranged in line.

[0034] Correspondingly, the shovel 2 is provided with a first set of clearance holes 21 matched with the shaft sleeve set 3, so that the shaft sleeve set 3 is arranged in the first set of clearance holes 21. The first set of clearance holes 21 includes a central circular hole 211 matched with the central shaft sleeve 31, and a limiting strip hole 212 matched with the limiting shaft sleeves 32. The specific performance characteristics of the "match" include: (1) the central circular hole 211 has the same outer diameter as the central shaft sleeve 31; (2) on at least one side of the central shaft sleeve 31: any one limiting shaft sleeve 32 corresponds to a limiting strip hole 212 which is an arc-shaped strip hole, and the radius of the arc-shaped strip hole corresponds to the center distance from the limiting shaft sleeve 32 to the central shaft sleeve 31; the outer diameter of any one limiting shaft sleeve 32 is equal to the width of the corresponding limiting strip hole 212. In this way, the shovel 2 can be sleeved on the shaft sleeve set 3 through the first set of clearance holes 21, and can rotate around the central shaft sleeve 31 in the plane of the flat groove 14, as shown in Figure 4 It is not difficult to understand that the farther the limiting strip hole 212 is from the central circular hole 211, the longer the length of the limiting strip hole 212 is, so as to avoid unnecessary boundary interference to the rotation of the shovel 2.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the front plate 1 is provided with a second set of clearance holes 111 at a position corresponding to the shaft sleeve set 3; as shown in Figure 5 , the back plate 12 is provided with a matched third set of clearance holes 121 at a position corresponding to the shaft sleeve set 3. When the shovel 2 is sleeved in the shaft sleeve set 3, the front plate 1 is arranged on the side of the shovel 2 away from the back plate 12 by aligning the second set of clearance holes 111 with the shaft sleeve set 3. The fastener is a threaded fastener 4 which passes through the second set of clearance holes 111, the inner hole of the shaft sleeve set 3 and the third set of clearance holes 121, and is locked by thread cooperation, so as to detachably connect and fix the front plate 1 and the back plate 12. Through detachable connection, the user can perform regular maintenance and replacement on the shovel 2. It can be understood that the shaft sleeve set 3 can be integrally made with the back plate 12, and the third set of holes is integrated with the inner hole of the shaft sleeve set 3. In another embodiment, a thread matched with the threaded fastener 4 can also be arranged on the surface of the inner hole of the shaft sleeve set 3. After the threaded fastener 4 passes through the second set of clearance holes 111, the front plate 1 is fixed or released by thread cooperation with the shaft sleeve set 3.

[0036] Necessarily, since the length of the shaft sleeve set 3 determines the distance between the front plate 1 and the back plate 12 in the fastened state (i.e. the thickness of the flat groove 14), in order not to interfere with the rotation of the shovel 2, the length of the shaft sleeve set 3 is not less than the thickness of the shovel 2. Necessarily, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the height of either the front plate 1 or the back plate 12 is less than the height of the blade 2. The "height" refers to the vertical distance from the bottom edge of the aforementioned plate to the limiting top plate 13.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, an elastic reset member is provided between the top surface of the shovel blade 2 and the bottom surface of the limiting top plate 13. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member is a set of strip-shaped rubber parts 5. Preferably, the rubber parts 5 and the shovel blade 2 are mechanically interlocked at the contact edge through a groove structure to improve the connection reliability. Further, the rubber parts 5 can also be fixed to the back plate 12 by structural adhesive or threaded fasteners 4. As an equivalent alternative to this embodiment, the elastic reset member can also be a spring assembly. The spring assembly is vertically arranged between the shovel blade 2 and the limiting top plate 13, with one end connected to the bottom surface of the limiting top plate 13 and the other end detachably connected to the top surface of the shovel blade 2. When the shovel blade 2 is deflected by the ground reaction force, the elastic reset member undergoes axial deformation and accumulates elastic potential energy, driving the shovel blade 2 to automatically reset to the initial position after the external force disappears. In another embodiment, the elastic reset element can also be a set of springs, with the inner ring of the spring fixed to the outer circumference of the central bushing 31 and the outer ring connected to the blade 2, which can also provide automatic reset for the blade 2.

[0038] In summary, the snow scraper provided in this embodiment of the present invention, through the positioning and guiding cooperation of the first clearance hole group 21 and the bushing group 3, enables the scraper blade 2 to obtain in-plane rotational freedom; through the flat groove 14 constructed by the front plate 1 and the back plate 12, and in cooperation with the threaded fastener 4, the scraper blade 2 is limited out-of-plane; and through the elastic reset member, the rotation of the scraper blade 2 is buffered and automatically reset. When in contact with uneven ground, the scraper blade 2 rotates around the central bushing 31 under the ground reaction force, adaptively adjusting the working angle, thereby effectively compensating for terrain changes. In this way, by improving the adaptability to uneven road surfaces, not only is snow removal efficiency improved, but also working noise and equipment wear are reduced. In addition, the detachable structure of the flat groove 14 improves the maintenance convenience of the scraper blade 2.

[0039] For those skilled in the art, although the above embodiments can well illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, various changes and improvements can still be made to the structure, parameters and construction methods of each component without departing from the basic idea of ​​this utility model, and all of these should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
