Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of de-icing device technology, and in particular to a road de-icing device. Background Technology
[0002] In northern cities, road icing occurs in winter due to weather conditions. This typically manifests as ice forming on the lower layer of snow after snowfall, while the upper layer continues to accumulate. Once icing occurs, timely de-icing is necessary to maintain road safety.
[0003] When snowfall occurs, the snow that first comes into contact with the road surface melts into water and then refreezes under continued snowfall, forming a lower layer of ice and an upper layer of snow. After snowfall, the upper layer of snow melts into water under the influence of sunlight and seeps downwards, then refreezes in the low-temperature environment of the lower layer, forming a lower layer of ice and an upper layer of snow.
[0004] The main method used for de-icing is spreading de-icing salt, which avoids the drawbacks of physical de-icing that can easily damage roads. De-icing with de-icing salt takes advantage of the fact that salt water freezes at a lower temperature, preventing the snow from melting into water and then quickly freezing back into ice, thus achieving the de-icing effect.
[0005] In urban areas, due to timely snow removal, the ice layer on roads is generally not fully formed and can be cleared directly by snowplows. Simultaneously, de-icing salt is spread to prevent further snowfall from causing icing. However, on county roads, where snow removal is not timely, a relatively stable ice layer has generally formed. In this case, snowplows are ineffective against the ice, and directly spreading de-icing salt is also unlikely to produce a de-icing effect. While spreading de-icing salt without clearing the top layer of snow can achieve a de-icing effect, it consumes too much salt. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a road de-icing device that can effectively and efficiently remove ice from roads where a stable ice layer has formed.
[0007] This utility model provides a road de-icing device, comprising:
[0008] Snow removal plate and limiting block, wherein the snow removal plate is vertically arranged, and the limiting block is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the snow removal plate, and the limiting block supports the gap between the snow removal plate and the road surface;
[0009] A salt-spreading assembly is used to spread de-icing salt on the road from behind the snow-clearing slab as it moves forward along the road.
[0010] Preferably, the salt-spreading assembly includes a salt storage hopper and an opener / closer. The salt storage hopper stores de-icing salt, and the opener / closer controls the closing of the lower outlet of the salt storage hopper.
[0011] Preferably, the salt storage hopper is integrally formed on the snow removal plate, and the snow removal plate constitutes the side wall of the salt storage hopper.
[0012] Preferably, the opening / closing device includes an actuating plate and a hydraulic rod. The actuating plate is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the salt storage hopper at its middle section, and the two ends of the hydraulic rod are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the actuating plate and the outer wall of the salt storage hopper.
[0013] Preferably, an mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the salt storage hopper away from the snow removal plate.
[0014] Preferably, the hydraulic rods are evenly distributed along the actuating plate.
[0015] Preferably, the limiting blocks are evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the snow removal plate.
[0016] Preferably, the bottom surface of the snow removal board is horizontal, and the bottom surface and the front side surface of the snow removal board are directly connected.
[0017] Preferably, the outer corners of the limiting block are all rounded.
[0018] Preferably, the snow removal plate is an arc-shaped plate, with its upper and lower ends bent in the forward direction.
[0019] The technical solution of this utility model is to clear the snow above the ice layer using a snow removal plate, while retaining a small amount of snow using a limiting block structure. The salt spreading component will spread de-icing salt during the process of the snow removal plate clearing the upper layer of snow. The de-icing salt mixes with the small amount of snow retained, and takes advantage of the faster melting of snow to quickly form brine, ensuring the de-icing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the road de-icing device provided by this utility model includes a snow removal plate 1, a limiting block 2, and a salt spreading component 3.
[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the snow removal board 1 is set vertically and moves forward along the road. The snow removal board 1 is an arc-shaped board with its upper and lower ends bent in the forward direction to prevent snow from crossing the snow removal board 1. The bottom surface of the snow removal board 1 is horizontal, and the bottom surface and the front side of the snow removal board 1 are directly connected to each other. The use of transition rounded corners or right angles is avoided because the transition surface may generate a downward component force, compacting the snow.
[0033] The limiting block 2 is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the snow removal plate 1, and the limiting block 2 supports the gap between the snow removal plate 1 and the road surface; the limiting blocks 2 are evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the snow removal plate 1, ensuring uniform support while ensuring that snow can pass under the snow removal plate 1. The outer corners of the limiting block 2 are all rounded to reduce the damage to the road surface when the limiting block 2 comes into contact with the road surface.
[0034] The salt spreading assembly 3 is located behind the snow removal plate 1 and spreads de-icing salt onto the road. The salt spreading assembly 3 includes a salt storage hopper 31, an actuating plate 33, and a hydraulic rod 34. The actuating plate 33 and the hydraulic rod 34 form an opener / closer 32 to control the closing of the lower outlet of the salt storage hopper 31.
[0035] The salt storage hopper 31 is integrally formed on the snow removal plate 1, which forms the side wall of the salt storage hopper 31, improving structural compactness. The salt storage hopper 31 stores snow-melting salt. An actuating plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the salt storage hopper 31 at its middle section. The actuating plate 33 can switch the opening and closing state of the lower outlet of the salt storage hopper 31 by rotation. Multiple hydraulic rods 34 are evenly distributed along the actuating plate 33 and collectively drive the actuating plate 33 to rotate. Both ends of the hydraulic rods 34 are fixedly connected to one end of the actuating plate 33 and the outer wall of the salt storage hopper 31, respectively. Each end of the hydraulic rod 34 has a rotatably connected mounting block, which is fixedly connected to one end of the actuating plate 33 and the outer wall of the salt storage hopper 31, respectively. An mounting plate 4 is also provided for fixing the device to a specific engineering vehicle. The mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the salt storage hopper 31 away from the snow removal plate 1.
[0036] Working process: The device is fixedly mounted on the engineering vehicle using the mounting plate 4. The height is adjusted until the limit block 2 touches the road surface. Since there is ice on the road surface, the limit block 2 touching the ice is generally considered to be touching the road surface. The movement of the engineering vehicle moves the mounting plate 4 forward, and the snow removal plate 1 directly pushes away most of the snow on top. The presence of the limit block 2 allows a small amount of snow on top of the ice to be retained. At the same time, the salt spreading component 3 continuously spreads de-icing salt downwards, which mixes with the small amount of snow on top of the ice.
[0037] The snow above the ice layer melts into water under the sun's rays and mixes with de-icing salt to form brine. Some of the brine remains on top of the ice layer, increasing its absorption efficiency of sunlight and causing the ice layer to melt quickly, thus achieving the de-icing effect.
[0038] In this embodiment, the snow removal plate 1 clears the snow above the ice layer, reducing the consumption of de-icing salt and achieving energy-saving effects. At the same time, the limiting block 2 structure retains a small amount of snow. The salt spreading component 3 spreads de-icing salt during the process of the snow removal plate 1 clearing the upper layer of snow. The de-icing salt mixes with the retained small amount of snow, which can effectively lock in the de-icing salt and prevent natural wind or vehicles from carrying the de-icing salt off the road surface. Taking advantage of the faster melting of snow, brine is quickly formed, which increases the absorption of sunlight, improves the efficiency of ice melting, and ensures the de-icing effect.
[0039] 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 the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
