Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow removal equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable de-icing agent spreader. Background Technology

[0002] A de-icing agent spreader is a specialized piece of equipment designed for heavy snowfall. It is used to spread de-icing materials such as sand or salt on roads when heavy snowfall and severe cold cause snow accumulation and icing, in order to ensure smooth road traffic.

[0003] Existing de-icing agent spreaders mainly consist of a storage bin for storing snow removal materials and a spreading mechanism for throwing the snow removal materials using centrifugal force. The spreading mechanism is connected to the discharge port of the storage bin. To avoid the snow removal materials affecting other vehicles in the vicinity during the throwing process, the discharge port of the spreading mechanism is usually located low. In actual use, the storage bin is usually placed in the rear compartment of the truck, while the discharge port of the spreading mechanism can extend to a position close to the ground at the rear of the vehicle.

[0004] Because the discharge port of the existing spreading mechanism is positioned too low, the de-icing agent spreader needs to be placed on a specific support platform or frame when it is normally placed, i.e., not hoisted into the rear compartment of a truck, instead of being placed directly on the ground, which is inconvenient in actual use.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an adjustable de-icing agent spreader to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable de-icing agent spreader, which allows for adjustment of the orientation of the spreading mechanism. This allows the spreader to be placed directly on the ground when not in use, making it more convenient for actual use. This addresses the problem mentioned in the background art, where the discharge port of the existing spreading mechanism is positioned too low, causing the de-icing agent spreader to require the storage bin to be placed on a specific support platform or frame when conventionally placed (i.e., before being hoisted onto the truck bed), making it inconvenient to place directly on the ground.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: an adjustable de-icing agent spreader, comprising:

[0008] A storage bin for storing snow removal materials;

[0009] An orientation adjustment mechanism includes a discharge port extending through the bottom right end of the bin body and a first locking hole and a second locking hole located on either side of the discharge port. An adjustment tube is rotatably nested within the discharge port via a bearing. A locking bolt is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the adjustment tube. An adjustment disc threadedly connected to the right side of the locking bolt extends to the inside of the second locking hole for locking. Multiple adjustment handles are evenly fixedly fixed along the right edge of the locking bolt.

[0010] A spreading mechanism for spreading snow removal material.

[0011] According to at least one embodiment of the adjustable de-icing agent spreader of the present disclosure, the storage bin includes a bin body, a guide platform is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bin body, a cover plate is movably connected to the top of the bin body via a hinge, and lifting rings are sleeved on both sides of the front and back of the bin body.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the adjustable de-icing agent spreader of the present disclosure, a plurality of support frames are uniformly fixedly arranged at the bottom of the storage bin, and a reinforcing plate fixedly connected to the bin body is fixedly arranged at both ends of the top of any one of the support frames, and a battery compartment is fixedly arranged at the top right end of the bin body.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, an adjustable de-icing agent spreader includes a spreading mechanism comprising a guide pipe fixedly connected to the right end of an adjusting pipe, a housing fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the guide pipe, and a spreading opening on the right side of the housing.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the adjustable de-icing agent spreader of the present disclosure, a rotating shaft is rotatably nested inside the bottom of the housing via a bearing, a spraying disc is fixedly mounted at the top of the rotating shaft, and a motor that is drively connected to the rotating shaft is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the housing.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention features an orientation adjustment mechanism, allowing it to be placed directly on the ground via a storage bin when not in use. Multiple support frames provide support. When snow removal material needs to be spread, the four hooks of the suspension device are hooked onto the outside of the four lifting rings. The device is then lifted and placed in the rear cargo box of a truck. The adjustment disc is then rotated to disengage from the second locking hole, releasing the lock. Multiple adjustment handles then rotate the locking bolt, which in turn rotates the spreading mechanism via the adjustment tube. Once the adjustment disc is collinear with the first locking hole, it is screwed into the first locking hole to lock. Compared to existing technologies, this invention allows for orientation adjustment of the spreading mechanism, making it more convenient to place directly on the ground when not in use. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The accompanying drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and, together with the description thereof, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure. These drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an adjustable de-icing agent spreader according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0025] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” other components or features would subsequently be positioned “above” said other components or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an adjustable de-icing agent spreader according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0027] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the storage bin 1 of an adjustable de-icing agent spreader according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the orientation adjustment mechanism 2 and the spreading mechanism 3 of an adjustable de-icing agent spreader according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the adjustable de-icing agent spreader disclosed herein may include components such as a storage bin 1, an orientation adjustment mechanism 2, and a spreading mechanism 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the storage silo 1 includes a silo body 11. A guide platform 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the silo body 11. A cover plate 13 is movably connected to the top of the silo body 11 via a hinge. Lifting rings 14 are sleeved on both sides of the front and back of the silo body 11. Multiple support frames 15 are evenly fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage silo 1. Reinforcing plates 16, which are fixedly connected to the silo body 11, are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of any support frame 15. A battery compartment 17 is fixedly installed at the top right end of the silo body 11. A battery is fixedly installed inside the battery compartment 17 and is electrically connected to the motor 36.

[0031] Therefore, when not in use, this utility model can be placed directly on the ground via the storage bin 1, with multiple support frames 15 supporting it.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the orientation adjustment mechanism 2 includes a discharge port 21 that is disposed through the bottom right end of the bin body 11, and a first locking hole 22 and a second locking hole 23 that are opened at the bottom right end of the bin body 11. The first locking hole 22 and the second locking hole 23 are respectively located on both sides of the discharge port 21. An adjustment tube 24 is rotatably nested inside the discharge port 21 via a bearing. A locking bolt 26 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the adjustment tube 24. An adjustment disc 25 that is threadedly connected to the right side of the locking bolt 26 is disposed through it. The end of the adjustment disc 25 extends to the inside of the second locking hole 23 for locking. A plurality of adjustment handles 27 are evenly fixedly disposed on the right edge of the locking bolt 26.

[0033] Therefore, when snow removal material needs to be spread, the four hooks of the suspension equipment are hooked onto the outside of the four lifting rings 14. Then, the suspension equipment is used to lift the utility model and place it in the rear compartment of the truck. Then, the adjusting plate 25 is rotated to disengage it from the inside of the second locking hole 23 to release the lock. Then, the locking bolt 26 is rotated by multiple adjusting handles 27. When the locking bolt 26 rotates, it drives the spreading mechanism 3 to rotate as a whole through the adjusting tube 24. When the adjusting plate 25 is collinear with the first locking hole 22, the adjusting plate 25 is screwed into the inside of the first locking hole 22 to lock it. Compared with the prior art, the orientation of the spreading mechanism 3 can be adjusted, so that the utility model can be placed directly on the ground when not in use, which is more convenient in actual use.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the spreading mechanism 3 includes a guide pipe 31 fixedly connected to the right end of the regulating pipe 24. A housing 32 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the output end of the guide pipe 31. A spreading opening 33 is opened on the right side of the housing 32. A rotating shaft 34 is rotatably nested on the bottom inner side of the housing 32 through a bearing. A spraying disc 35 is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft 34. A motor 36 that is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 32.

[0035] Thus, the snow removal material inside the chamber 11 is guided by the guide platform 12 through the regulating pipe 24 and into the guide pipe 31. The guide pipe 31 then feeds the snow removal material into the top of the spreading disc 35 inside the housing 32. During this process, the motor 36, powered by the battery, drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate continuously, which in turn drives the spreading disc 35 to rotate continuously. When the spreading disc 35 rotates, the snow removal material on its top is thrown onto the road surface through the spreading opening 33.

[0036] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
