Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the construction of expressways across the country, the total length of expressways is increasing. However, as time goes by, the road surface, road conditions, and surrounding greenery of these expressways develop problems to varying degrees. The most common problem in winter is that the road surface freezes after rain or snow, which can easily affect the normal use of expressways. To solve this problem, de-icing devices are indispensable.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent publication number "CN216040934U" discloses a road surface ice-breaking device. This utility model involves placing a spring on the outside of a prism rod, then placing a fixing sleeve on the outside of the prism rod, and then fixing the ice-breaking block to the prism rod with bolts. Finally, the assembled ice-breaking assembly is fixed to the sliding groove opened on the bottom of the working box with bolts. Then, the external control mechanism starts motors A and B to work. At this time, motor B drives the cam to squeeze the ice-breaking assembly through the rotating rod, so that the ice-breaking block crushes the ice and snow on the street road surface. At the same time, motor A drives the cleaning wheel brush to rotate, sweeping the crushed ice and snow from the ice-breaking assembly and accumulating it on one side of the road surface.

[0004] The aforementioned patent does not include a device for collecting the broken ice slag. Instead, it simply uses a cleaning wheel brush to sweep the broken ice slag onto one side of the road, which is insufficient for effective maintenance. This can easily lead to the ice slag melting and then refreezing, affecting the normal use of the road. Utility Model Content

The rotating shaft 405 then drives the wheels fixedly connected to its two ends to rotate, thereby driving the track 407, which is rotatably connected to the wheels, to rotate, thus moving the device.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In one aspect of this embodiment, the ice crushing mechanism 2 includes a fixing plate 201, which is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the box 1.

The rotating wheel 204 rotates and presses down the connecting column 207, causing the ice-crushing plate 208 and ice cone 209 fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting column 207 to descend. When the rotating wheel 204 presses down the connecting column 207 to descend, it squeezes the spring 206. When the rotating wheel 204 rotates to other angles, the spring 206 rebounds and drives the connecting column 207 to rise, achieving a continuous ice-crushing effect.

[0041] All electrical devices in this plan are powered by an external power source.

[0042] Working principle: When using this ice crushing device, first start motor 403. Motor 403 drives bevel gear 404, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, to rotate. Bevel gear 404 meshes with bevel gear 406, causing rotating shaft 405 to rotate. Rotating shaft 405 then drives wheels fixedly connected to both ends to rotate, thereby driving track 407, which is connected to the wheels, to rotate and move the device. Then start motor 301. Motor 301 drives rotating rod 203, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, and rotating wheel 204, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of rotating rod 203, to rotate. Rotating wheel 204 presses down connecting column 207, causing ice crushing plate 208 and ice cone 209, which are fixedly mounted at the lower end of connecting column 207, to descend. When rotating wheel 204 presses down connecting column 207 and descends, it compresses spring 206. When rotating wheel 204 rotates to other angles, spring 206 rebounds and drives... The connecting column 207 rises to achieve a continuous ice-crushing effect, and then the second motor 301 is started. The second motor 301 drives the threaded rod 302, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, to rotate. The threads at both ends of the threaded rod 302 are opposite. When the threaded rod 302 rotates, the slider 303 connected to its surface thread drives the ice shovel 304 below to slide in the opposite direction to sweep the ice shavings into the collection box 312. After the ice shavings in the collection box 312 reach a certain amount, the third motor 310 is started. The third motor 310 drives the rotating column 309, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, and the collection box 312, which is fixedly connected to the rotating column 309, to rotate to prevent the ice shavings in the collection box 312 from falling. After rotating to a suitable angle, the third motor 310 is turned off, and the electric heating wire 314 is started to heat and melt the ice shavings in the collection box 312. At the same time, the water pump 306 is started to draw the melted ice shavings into the water tank 305 through the hose 311 and the water pipe.
