Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow melting device technology, specifically a snow melting device for roads. Background Technology

[0002] In cold winters, moisture on road surfaces freezes into ice. When the temperature drops below the freezing point of water, the moisture on the road surface freezes into ice, forming an ice layer. Icy roads can easily cause vehicles to lose control, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. To ensure traffic safety and smooth flow, it is essential to melt the ice on the road surfaces.

[0003] Snowboards are generally used to remove ice from roads. However, due to the uneven thickness of ice and snow on the road surface, the blades of the snowboards may come into contact with the road surface when clearing ice and snow. This can damage the road surface and lead to frequent replacement of the snowboard blades, increasing costs. In related technologies, such as the road snow melting device disclosed in CN221760576U, an ice melting bucket is provided. The water in the ice melting bucket can be heated by an electric heating tube to store the heat, which facilitates continuous heat transfer and ice melting operations on the road surface. However, this device is welded to the rear of the tractor. When the ice melting bucket is damaged, it is inconvenient to disassemble and replace it, causing inconvenience in use.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0032] When in use, install the snow melting device on the tractor, then start the motor next to the snowboard. The motor's output shaft drives the blades of the snowboard to rotate. Then adjust the lifting mechanism to make the snowboard contact the ice layer on the ground. The ice blades of the snowboard break up the ice and snow on the ground, and then collect the ice and snow. The heating mechanism accelerates the melting of the ice.

[0033] In related technologies, such as the road snow melting device disclosed in CN221760576U, an ice melting bucket is provided. The water in the ice melting bucket can be heated by an electric heating tube to store the heat, which facilitates continuous heat transfer and ice melting operations on the road surface. However, this device is welded to the rear of the tractor. When the ice melting bucket is damaged, it is inconvenient to disassemble and replace it, causing inconvenience in use.

[0034] To address some of the problems in related technologies, this application provides a snow melting device for roads. In use, water is simply poured into the ice melting bucket 13, and the diesel generator on one side of the ice melting bucket 13 is started to power the heating element 14, heating the water inside. Then, a tractor pulls the ice melting bucket 13, enabling continuous heat transfer to melt the ice layer on the road surface, reducing damage to the road and lowering the cost of snow melting. When the ice melting bucket 13 needs to be replaced, simply turn the first threaded rod 262, causing the moving block 263 to move downwards and push the connecting plate 261, causing the slider 24 to move downwards along with the connecting plate 261 until it is removed from the interior of the base 23. The ice melting bucket 13 and the side plate 12 can then be removed as a whole, making the process convenient and quick.

[0035] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0036] Combination Figures 1-5 This application provides a snow melting device for roads, comprising: a frame 11, fixedly installed on one side of a tractor; a side plate 12 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 11; an ice melting hopper 13 hinged to one side of the side plate 12, and an electric heating tube 14 fixedly installed inside the ice melting hopper 13, the electric heating tube 14 being electrically connected to a diesel generator fixedly installed in the ice melting hopper 13; the frame 11 and the side plate 12 are connected by an installation assembly 2, the installation assembly 2 comprising: a first plate 21 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 11; a second plate 22 fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 12; a seat 23 fixedly connected inside the second plate 22, and a groove provided inside the seat 23; a slider 24 slidably connected to the first plate 21; guide rods 25 slidably connected to both sides of the slider 24, and springs sleeved on the outside of each guide rod 25; and an unlocking mechanism 26 fixedly connected to one side of the slider 24 for pushing the slider 24 to release the installation between the frame 11 and the side plate 12.

[0037] In use, water is filled into the ice-melting bucket 13, and the diesel generator on one side of the ice-melting bucket 13 is started to power the heating element 14. The heating element 14 contains a high-resistance heating coil. According to Joule's law, the heat generated by resistance is directly proportional to the product of the square of the current, the resistance value, and the energizing time. Under the same current and energizing time, the higher the resistance value, the higher the heat generated. Therefore, when energized, the heating coil generates high heat to heat the water inside the heating element 14. The ice-melting bucket 13 is then pulled by a tractor to continuously melt the ice layer on the road surface, reducing damage to the road surface and lowering the cost of snow melting. When the ice-melting bucket 13 needs to be replaced, the first threaded rod 262 is turned, causing the moving block 263 to move downwards and push the connecting plate 261, causing the slider 24 to move downwards along with the connecting plate 261 until it is removed from the interior of the base 23, thus connecting the base 23 with the first plate. The connection between plates 21 and 22 is severed. At this point, the melting ice bucket 13 and the side plate 12 can be removed as a whole, which is convenient and quick. When a new melting ice bucket 13 needs to be installed, turn the first threaded rod 262 in the opposite direction to move the moving block 263 upward. The slider 24 moves upward under the action of the bottom spring. When the inclined surface at the top of the slider 24 is fully extended into the interior of the first plate 21, stop turning the first threaded rod 262. Align the first plate 21 with the seat 23 inside the second plate 22 and insert it. During the insertion process, the edge of the seat 23 will press the inclined surface at the top of the slider 24, thereby pushing the slider 24 downward and retracting it into the interior of the first plate 21. This will compress the spring outside the guide rod 25 and the spring at the bottom of the slider 24. When the bottom groove of the seat 23 reaches directly above the slider 24, the slider 24 is pushed and inserted into the bottom groove of the seat 23 under the action of the spring, thus realizing the connection between the first plate 21 and the seat 23.

[0038] In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism 26 includes: a connecting plate 261 fixedly connected to one side of the slider 24; a first threaded rod 262 rotatably connected inside the side plate 12, the first threaded rod 262 having a through groove inside, the connecting plate 261 passing through the through groove and not contacting the first threaded rod 262; a moving block 263 threadedly connected to the outside of the first threaded rod 262, and the moving block 263 slidingly connected to the inside of the side plate 12, the connecting plate 261 not contacting the first threaded rod 262, to avoid the connecting plate 261 obstructing the rotation of the first threaded rod 262, thereby affecting the movement of the moving block 263.

[0039] In some embodiments, the top of the connecting plate 261 has a groove, the size and shape of which are the same as those of the moving block 263. This allows the moving block 263 to slide into the groove on the top of the connecting plate 261 and push downwards when the moving block 263 is adjusted to move downwards, thereby unlocking the device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the slider 24, the connecting plate 261, and the moving block 263 are a group, and multiple groups are provided inside the side plate 12 and the first plate body 21, with multiple sliders 24 used to enhance the stability of the limit.

[0041] In some embodiments, a movable component 3 is provided on the outside of the ice melting bucket 13; the movable component 3 includes: a connecting frame 31, which is sleeved on the outside of the ice melting bucket 13; universal wheels 32 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the connecting frame 31; a second threaded rod 33 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame 31, and the second threaded rod 33 is threadedly connected to the edge of the top of the ice melting bucket 13; a limiting rod 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 31, and the limiting rod 34 is slidably connected to the edge of the top of the ice melting bucket 13. When the ice melting bucket 13 is transferred to the tractor, the second threaded rod 33 can be turned, and the second threaded rod 33 moves downward through the thread action between it and the edge of the ice melting bucket 13, and drives the connecting frame 31 and the universal wheels 32 to move downward together. The limiting rod 34 is provided on the other edge of the ice melting bucket 13 to guide the movement of the connecting frame 31 and enhance the stability of the movement of the connecting frame 31.

[0042] In some embodiments, the top of the slider 24 extends into the interior of the first plate 21, the extended portion is provided with a slope, and the bottom of the seat 23 has a groove of the same size and shape as the extended portion of the slider 24, so that when the first plate 21 is pushed toward the second plate 22, the edge of the seat 23 can press the slope at the top of the slider 24 and push the slider 24 downward, preventing the slider 24 from affecting the first plate 21 from continuing to move toward the second plate 22.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bottom of the slider 24 is connected to the interior of the first plate 21 by a spring. Adding a spring can increase the force required to press down the slider 24 and reduce the possibility that the slider 24 may move downward out of the seat 23 due to external vibration.

[0044] In some embodiments, the surface of the ice melting pot 13 is coated with an anti-rust coating to increase the service life of the ice melting pot 13.

[0045] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.

[0046] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0047] 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.
