Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road safety equipment, specifically to a snow melting and de-icing device for roads. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for dealing with snow and ice accumulation on roads: manual removal and the use of de-icing agents. Manual removal is inefficient and unsafe, and can easily cause secondary damage to the road itself. If de-icing agents are used, they generally contain a large amount of chlorides, which can corrode the road surface and damage structures such as concrete and steel reinforcement. Moreover, chlorides dissolved in water can also harm the surrounding ecological environment.

[0003] Therefore, road snow melting and de-icing devices are gradually being used in road snow and ice removal projects. In order to save energy and facilitate power supply, most road snow melting and de-icing devices are solar-powered. They use the energy converted from solar energy to remove snow and ice from roads. They collect and store solar energy and convert it into heat energy, which is applied to the snow and ice accumulation on the road. This is environmentally friendly and can effectively reduce labor and material costs, ensuring normal road passage in snowy and icy weather.

[0004] In traditional solar-powered road snow and ice melting devices, hot water pipes lack an effective fixing structure. During operation, they may shake or shift due to vibration, external pulling, or other reasons. This may cause the pipe connections to loosen, resulting in water leakage, which in turn affects the normal operation of the snow and ice melting system, making it impossible to continue the snow and ice melting work.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, there is a need to provide a snow melting and de-icing device for roads. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a snow melting and de-icing device for roads, which can provide physical protection for hot water delivery pipelines and prevent the pipelines from being mechanically damaged by external forces.

[0007] The snow melting and de-icing device for roads provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A snow melting and de-icing device for roads includes a heating device, an electric heating device, and a solar power supply device. The heating device includes a fixed frame fixed below the road surface and a heating pipe disposed within the fixed frame. The electric heating device is used to supply a fluid medium into the heating pipe and to recover and heat the fluid medium within the heating pipe. The solar power supply device is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy to supply power to the electric heating device.

[0009] Furthermore, the heating device also includes a heat-conducting protective plate disposed on the heating tube for protecting the heating tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the heating tubes within the fixed frame are rectangular in shape, and the heat-conducting protective plate is located on the rectangular heating tubes.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed frame is provided with multiple fixing plates on its periphery that can be fixed below the road surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the electric heating device includes a liquid storage tank, a base for mounting the liquid storage tank, and a pump body located at the liquid outlet and return port of the liquid storage tank. The liquid outlet and return port of the liquid storage tank are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating tube through the pump body.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is equipped with an electric heating element for heating the water in the storage tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the solar power supply device includes a solar collector and a battery, which are connected by wires for charging the battery, and the battery is used to supply power to the electric heating device.

[0015] Furthermore, the solar energy collection box includes an upper box and a lower box that can be opened and closed, and solar panels are installed in both the upper box and the lower box.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a snow water collection device for collecting snow water from the road surface. The snow water collection device includes a snow water collection pipe and a snow water collection tank. A snow water inlet is provided below the road surface, and the snow water collection pipe connects the snow water inlet and the snow water collection tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the snow water collection device also includes a snow water connection plate disposed on the heating device, the snow water connection plate being provided with a snow water inlet corresponding to the snow water guide port, and the snow water collection pipe being connected to the snow water inlet.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The heating pipe is protected by a fixed frame to prevent mechanical damage from the outside.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0030] This utility model discloses a snow-melting and ice-removing device for roads. (Refer to...) Figures 1-5 The snow and ice melting device for roads includes a heating device, an electric heating device, and a solar power supply device. The heating device includes a fixed frame 1 positioned below the road surface and a heating pipe 2 disposed within the fixed frame 1. The heating pipe 2 is arranged in a continuous U-shape within the fixed frame 1 to increase the contact area between the heating pipe 2 and the road surface, resulting in better heating. The electric heating device supplies a fluid medium to the heating pipe 2 and recovers and heats the fluid medium within the heating pipe 2. The fluid medium is hot water. The solar power supply device converts solar energy into electrical energy to supply power to the electric heating device. The fixed frame 1 protects the heating pipe 2 from drafts. To protect the heating pipe 2 from external mechanical damage, the fixing frame 1 is fixed inside the road surface, making the fixing frame 1 more stable underground, which in turn makes the heating pipe 2 more stable. The heat emitted by the hot water flowing inside the heating pipe 2 can help melt snow and ice on the road surface. At the same time, the solar power supply device converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the electric heating device to heat the water and provide hot water to the heating pipe 2. This ensures that the hot water delivery pipeline maintains a stable position during the operation of the device, avoiding problems such as loose connections and water leakage caused by shaking or displacement of the heating pipe 2, and ensuring the normal operation of the snow melting and ice de-icing system.

[0031] In this embodiment, the heating device also includes a heat-conducting protective plate 3 disposed on the heating pipe 2 for protecting the heating pipe 2. The heat-conducting protective plate 3 is in direct contact with the heating pipe 2. While protecting the heating pipe 2, it can also better transfer heat. It can effectively collect the heat emitted by the heating pipe 2 and redirect this heat to the road area that needs to melt snow and ice, reducing heat loss during transmission and improving the heat utilization rate of the entire device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the heating tube 2 inside the fixed frame 1 is rectangular, and the heat-conducting protective plate 3 is located on the rectangular heating tube 2. The rectangular heating tube 2 can increase the contact area with the heat-conducting protective plate 3, and can better withstand the pressure brought by the heat-conducting protective plate 3 while transferring heat to the heat-conducting protective plate 3 more evenly, resulting in better heat transfer effect.

[0033] In this embodiment, the periphery of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing plates 12 that can be fixed in the road surface. The fixing plates 12 are fixed in the ground by bolts, so that the fixed frame 1 is more stable in the ground, and thus the heating pipe 2 is more stable.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electric heating device includes a storage tank 4, a base 5 for mounting the storage tank 4, and a pump body 6 disposed at the outlet and return port of the storage tank 4. The outlet and return port of the storage tank 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the heating tube 2 through the pump body 6. The pump body 6 at the outlet of the storage tank 4 can transport the hot water in the storage tank 4 to the heating tube 2, and the pump body 6 at the return port of the storage tank 4 can draw the hot water in the heating tube 2 back to the storage tank 4 from the other end, realizing the circulation of hot water, so that the heated hot water returns to the storage tank 4 for reheating and reuse.

[0035] In this embodiment, the base 5 is provided with an electric heating tube 7 for heating the water in the storage tank 4. The electric heating tube 7 can heat the water in the storage tank 4 so that the water that is recycled back into the storage tank 4 can be reheated and re-enter the hot water pipe 2 to heat the road surface.

[0036] In this embodiment, the solar power supply device includes a solar collection box and a battery 8. The solar collection box and the battery 8 are connected by wires for charging the battery 8. The battery 8 is used to supply power to the electric heating device. The battery 8 is connected to the electric heating tube 7 and the pump body 6 by wires to supply power to the electric heating tube 7 and the pump body 6. The solar collection box can continuously collect solar energy and convert it into electrical energy to charge the battery 8, so that the battery 8 has sufficient power. During periods when there is insufficient sunlight or at night, when solar energy cannot be effectively utilized, the battery 8 can continuously supply power to the various components of the device, ensuring the normal operation of the snow melting and ice de-icing device and ensuring the continuity of its function.

[0037] In this embodiment, the solar energy collection box includes an upper box 9 and a lower box 10 that can be opened and closed. Solar panels 11 are installed inside both the upper box 9 and the lower box 10. The upper box 9 and the lower box 10 not only provide protection for the solar panels 11, but can also be folded together for transportation and storage. The foldable solar energy collection box structure can significantly reduce the overall volume during transportation. The originally large solar panels 11 occupy significantly less space after being folded, making it easier to load onto various transportation vehicles. Whether it is truck transportation or manual handling, it is easier and more convenient, reducing transportation costs and difficulties, and improving transportation efficiency. When in use, the opening angle and position of the upper box 9 and the lower box 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual road conditions and sunlight conditions, so that they can better receive sunlight and improve the solar energy collection efficiency. Compared with the fixed structure of solar panels, the foldable structure can adapt to different installation environments and can be easily installed in complex terrain or areas with limited space.

[0038] In this embodiment, a snow water collection device for collecting snow water from the road surface is also included. The snow water collection device includes a snow water collection pipe 13 and a snow water collection tank 14. A snow water inlet 15 is provided on the road surface. The snow water collection pipe 13 connects the snow water inlet 15 and the snow water collection tank 14. There is a height difference between the snow water inlet 15 on the road surface and the ground. Melted snow water can flow into the snow water collection pipe 13 through the snow water inlet 15 and then into the snow water collection tank 14 for collection. Part of the snow water is collected, reducing the amount of snow water entering the drainage system, thereby reducing the pressure on the drainage system and reducing the risk of urban flooding. The snow water collected in the snow water collection tank 14 is discharged periodically.

[0039] In this embodiment, the snow water collection device further includes a snow water connection plate 16 disposed on the heating device. The snow water connection plate 16 is provided with a snow water inlet 17 corresponding to the snow water guide port 15. The snow water collection pipe 13 is connected to the snow water inlet 17. The snow water connection plate 16 is disposed on the heat-conducting protective plate 3. The snow water connection plate 16 occupies only a small amount of space on the heat-conducting protective plate 3. The snow water inlet 17 is aligned with the snow water guide port 15 on the road surface, so that snow water can enter the snow water inlet 17 through the snow water guide port 15 and enter the snow water connection plate 16 through the snow water inlet 17. The snow water collection pipe 13 discharges the snow water in the snow water connection plate 16 into the snow water collection tank 14.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
