Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway snow removal technology, specifically a drone-based snow blowing device for highway snow removal. Background Technology

[0002] Snow accumulation on highways mainly refers to snow accumulation on the road surface and the ground within the road area (such as driving lanes, shoulders, medians, etc.). Snow accumulation on highways can lead to a sharp increase in driving safety risks, a serious decrease in traffic efficiency, and damage to road facilities. In particular, snow accumulation on medians has severe glare, which can easily cause drivers to be dazzled and affect driving safety.

[0003] Currently, most snow blowing devices are designed for clearing snow on the ground. They are not only poorly suited for median strips, but also easily damage them. Manual snow removal is not only inefficient, but also poses significant safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems of poor applicability of snow blowing devices and low efficiency and high safety hazards of manual snow removal, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drone snow blowing device for highway snow accumulation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a drone-based snow blowing device for highway snow accumulation, comprising a drone and a snow blowing mechanism. The snow blowing mechanism is powered by the drone's power supply. Symmetrically distributed mounting plates are installed on the drone's frame. The snow blowing mechanism is mounted on the mounting plates and includes a housing. The housing is fixedly mounted on the mounting plates. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the housing. A centrifugal impeller is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft. A motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the housing. The end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. A fixed... A fixed air duct is provided, and a movable air duct is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed air duct. A push plate is fixedly provided at one end of the movable air duct. An electric telescopic rod is provided at one end of the outer shell. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate. A fixing plate is fixedly provided on the outer shell, and the electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the fixing plate. The fixing plate facilitates the installation of the electric telescopic rod. An electric heating wire is installed inside the fixed air duct. The electric heating wire can heat the air inside the fixed air duct and improve the snow blowing effect with hot air. A conical nozzle is fixedly provided at the end of the movable air duct away from the fixed air duct.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] 1. The centrifugal impeller discharges air from the outlet of the casing, the electric heating wire heats the passing air, and the conical nozzle narrows the airflow channel to increase the wind speed and wind pressure of the blown air.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a drone-based snow blowing device for highway snow accumulation, including a drone 1 and a snow blowing mechanism 2. The snow blowing mechanism 2 is powered by the drone 1. Symmetrically distributed mounting plates 3 are installed on the frame of the drone 1. The snow blowing mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting plates 3 and includes a housing 21, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plates 3. A rotating shaft 22 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 21. A centrifugal impeller 23 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rotating shaft 22. A motor 24 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the housing 21. The end of the output shaft of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22. A fixed air guide pipe 25 is fixedly installed at the air outlet of the housing 21. A movable air guide pipe 26 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed air guide pipe 25. A push plate 29 is fixedly mounted at one end of the movable air guide pipe 26. An electric telescopic rod 28 is provided at one end of the housing 21. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 28 is connected to the push plate 29. One side is fixedly connected, and the blowing end is extended by the movement of the movable air guide 26 and the fixed air guide 25. The centrifugal impeller 23 is controlled to rotate by the motor 24 through the rotating shaft 22, so that the centrifugal impeller 23 rotates at high speed and discharges the air at the edge from the air outlet of the outer shell 21. The movable air guide 26 and the fixed air guide 25 work together to blow snow onto the separation zone. A fixed plate 27 is fixedly provided on the outer shell 21, and an electric telescopic rod 28 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 27. The fixed plate 27 can facilitate the installation of the electric telescopic rod 28. An electric heating wire 212 is installed inside the fixed air guide 25. The electric heating wire 212 can heat the air inside the fixed air guide 25 and improve the snow blowing effect with hot air. A conical nozzle 213 is fixedly provided at the end of the movable air guide 26 away from the fixed air guide 25. The conical nozzle 213 narrows the airflow channel and increases the wind speed and wind pressure at the same power.

[0018] The outer side of the fixed air duct 25 is fixed with symmetrically distributed slide rods 210. The inner wall of the movable air duct 26 is provided with a slide groove 211. The slide rods 210 are slidably inserted into the slide groove 211. The movable air duct 26 can remain stable by moving on the slide rods 210 through the slide groove 211. A limiting plate 214 is fixed at one end of the slide rod 210 near the outer shell 21. The limiting plate 214 can limit the movable air duct 26.

[0019] Working principle: First, the drone 1 is started. The propeller of the drone 1 rotates, causing the drone 1 to take off and move to the area above the snow-clearing divider. At the same time, the electric telescopic boom 28 is activated, causing it to work. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic boom 28 drives the push plate 29 to move, which in turn drives the movable air guide duct 26 to move. The duct 26 is stabilized by moving along the slide bar 210 via the slide groove 211, allowing it to extend and lengthen the blowing end. Then, the motor 24 is started, causing it to work. The output shaft of the motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the centrifugal impeller 23 to rotate. This high-speed rotation of the centrifugal impeller 23 generates thrust on the surrounding air, giving it the kinetic energy of circular motion and causing it to rotate at high speed. Through centrifugal force, the air is drawn from the centrifugal impeller... The impeller 23 is thrown from its center (inlet) to its edge (outlet). During this process, the speed and pressure of the centrifugal impeller 23 gradually increase. The air at the edge of the centrifugal impeller 23 is discharged from the air outlet of the outer casing 21. At the same time, external air enters the center of the centrifugal impeller 23 from the air inlet of the outer casing 21, forming an air circulation. Simultaneously, the heating wire 212 is activated, causing it to start working. The heating wire 212 heats the inside of the fixed air guide duct 25. The discharged air enters the fixed air guide duct 25 from the air outlet of the outer casing 21. The air is heated as it passes through the heating wire 212 and then sprayed out from the conical nozzle 213 through the movable air guide duct 26. The conical nozzle 213 contracts the airflow channel, increasing the wind speed and wind pressure of the blown air. This allows the blown hot air to move synchronously with the drone 1 to blow away the snow on the separation strip, thus making it convenient and effective to blow away the snow.

The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
