Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow removal device technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Snowplows remove snow from roads using bottom-mounted roller brushes. Traditional snowplows have a fixed roller brush height, resulting in poor snow removal efficiency when faced with varying road conditions and snow depths, and can negatively impact the roller brush and driving safety. Early snowplows typically used manual or semi-automatic roller brush height adjustment, requiring operators to judge road conditions and snow depth based on experience, then adjust the brush height using mechanical devices or simple hydraulic systems. This method has low precision, cannot adapt to real-time road changes, and can easily lead to poor contact between the roller brush and the road surface, affecting snow removal efficiency and increasing the workload of operators. With the development of transportation, the requirements for the efficiency and quality of road snow removal are increasing. Existing technologies, such as four-bar linkage lifting systems, allow the roller brush to automatically adjust to the road's cross slope, improving snow removal efficiency and equipment safety. However, these systems are complex and require sensor detection before hydraulic control of the linkage movement, resulting in low adaptability to road conditions and susceptibility to sensor malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device and vehicle, which is suitable for uneven road conditions, has a better snow removal effect, and has a higher operational safety.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device includes:

[0006] Mounting base beams are used for mounting on the vehicle body;

[0007] A roller brush assembly includes a roller brush mounting base, a snow removal roller brush, and at least two connecting hangers, each of the connecting hangers being mounted on the mounting base beam, the roller brush mounting base being rotatably connected to one end of each connecting hanger away from the mounting base beam, and the snow removal roller brush being rotatably mounted on the roller brush mounting base;

[0008] The tension assembly includes at least two flexible connecting strips, one end of each flexible connecting strip being connected to the roller brush mounting base and the other end being connected to the mounting base beam, and its position relative to the mounting base beam being adjustable.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, each of the aforementioned tension components further includes:

[0010] A rocker arm is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam at one end, and the end of each flexible connecting strip opposite to the roller brush mounting seat is connected to the other end of the rocker arm.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, each of the aforementioned tension components further includes:

[0012] A drive source is mounted on the mounting base beam and drives one of the rockers, each drive source being able to drive one of the rockers to rotate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, the drive source is a telescopic drive component, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam, and the drive end of the telescopic drive component is connected to the rocker arm.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, the rocker arm includes a first section and a second section connected at an angle. The end of the first section opposite to the second section is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam. The flexible connecting strip is connected to the end of the second section opposite to the first section. The driving end of the telescopic drive member is connected to the connection between the first section and the second section.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, each of the aforementioned tension components further includes:

[0016] An adapter is mounted on the mounting base beam. One end of the rocker arm is rotatably connected to the adapter via a first hinge, and the drive source is rotatably connected to the adapter via a second hinge.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, the flexible connecting strip is a circular chain or rope.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, the mounting base beam includes at least two connecting beams, each of which is detachably mounted to the vehicle, and each connecting bracket is mounted on one of the connecting beams.

[0019] A vehicle includes a vehicle body and a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device is detachably mounted on the main beam of the vehicle body.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the vehicle, the axis of the snow removal brush is set at an angle to the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention provides a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, including a mounting base beam, a roller brush assembly, and a tensioning assembly. The roller brush mounting seat is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting bracket, and a flexible connecting strip holds the roller brush mounting seat in place. This allows the roller brush to automatically rise or fall within a certain range when encountering uneven road surfaces, effectively adapting to different road conditions. This avoids excessive impact on the roller brush when encountering raised surfaces or the roller brush's inability to clear snow from sunken surfaces. Simultaneously, the position of one end of the flexible connecting strip relative to the mounting base beam is adjustable, allowing adjustment of the distance between the roller brush mounting seat and the mounting base beam under tension. This adapts to different initial road surface heights and varying degrees of unevenness. When the flexible connecting strip is fully tensioned, it raises the roller brush mounting seat until the snow removal roller brush is completely away from the ground, allowing vehicles to smoothly pass over areas where snow removal is not required, preventing wear on the snow removal roller brush. This vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device has a simple structure and offers high working efficiency, road condition adaptability, and operational safety.

[0023] This utility model also provides a vehicle that, by adopting the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, facilitates snow removal work on uneven roads, and has a better removal effect and higher work safety. Attached Figure Description

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device suitable for various functional vehicles, such as dump trucks, water trucks, or snowplows. The vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device includes a mounting base beam 1, a roller brush assembly 2, and a tension assembly 3. The mounting base beam 1 is used to install on the vehicle body, preferably detachably from the vehicle body, for example, by bolts. When snow removal is required, the vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device is installed on the vehicle body. When snow removal is not required, the vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device is removed, reducing the vehicle load and facilitating the replacement of different models or maintenance of the vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device. Specifically, the roller brush assembly 2 includes a roller brush mounting base 21, a snow removal roller brush 22, and at least two connecting hangers 23. Each connecting hanger 23 is mounted on the mounting base beam 1. The roller brush mounting base 21 is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting hanger 23 away from the mounting base beam 1. The snow removal roller brush 22 is rotatably mounted on the roller brush mounting base 21. The tension assembly 3 includes at least two flexible connecting strips 31. One end of each flexible connecting strip 31 is connected to the roller brush mounting base 21, and the other end is connected to the mounting base beam 1. The position of each flexible connecting strip 31 relative to the mounting base beam 1 is adjustable. The roller brush mounting base 21 is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting hanger 23, and the roller brush mounting base 21 is held in place by the flexible connecting strip 31. This allows the roller brush to automatically rise or fall within a certain range when encountering uneven road surfaces during operation, thus automatically adapting to the road surface within a certain range. This effectively avoids excessive impact on the roller brush when encountering raised road surfaces or the inability of the roller brush to remove snow from sunken road surfaces. At the same time, the position of one end of the flexible connecting strip 31 relative to the mounting base beam 1 is adjustable, which means that the distance between the roller brush mounting base 21 and the mounting base beam 1 can be adjusted under the tension of the flexible connecting strip 31, thereby adapting to different initial road surface heights and different road conditions with varying degrees of unevenness. Furthermore, when the flexible connecting strip 31 is fully tensioned, it can raise the roller brush mounting base 21 until the snow removal roller brush 22 is completely away from the ground, so that vehicles can smoothly pass over road surfaces that do not require snow removal, avoiding wear on the snow removal roller brush 22. This vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device boasts high working efficiency, road condition adaptability, and operational safety. Furthermore, its simple structure eliminates the need for repeated road condition checks during operation, and it does not rely on the electronic control system at all times. It also enables obstacle avoidance over a wide range of 150-250mm.

[0038] Among them, the flexible connecting strip 31 is, for example, a circular chain or rope.

[0039] More specifically, the mounting base beam 1 includes at least two connecting beams 11, each of which is detachably mounted to the vehicle, specifically detachably connected to the main beam of the vehicle body. Each connecting bracket 23 is mounted on one connecting beam 11. The multiple connecting beams 11 can be independent or connected, depending on actual needs. For example, the two connecting beams 11 are independently arranged and installed parallel to each other on the main beam of the vehicle body. The two connecting beams 11 are spaced apart and parallel along the width direction of the vehicle body. Each connecting beam 11 is equipped with a connecting bracket 23. Preferably, the two connecting brackets 23 are staggered in the width direction of the vehicle body, so that after the roller brush mounting seat 21 is connected to the connecting bracket 23, the axis of the snow removal roller brush 22 forms an angle with the width direction of the vehicle body, that is, the axis of the snow removal roller brush 22 is not perpendicular to the vehicle's forward path, so that the snow removal roller brush 22 sweeps the snow to the roadside.

[0040] In this embodiment, the roller brush mounting base 21 is rotatably connected to each connecting hanger 23 via a clamping arm. Each connecting hanger 23 includes a connecting plate 231 and a hanging column 232. The connecting plate 231 is preferably detachably mounted on a connecting beam 11, for example, by bolts. This facilitates adjustment of the position of the connecting hanger 23, thereby facilitating adjustment of the roller brush's axial position. Furthermore, the large connection area between the connecting plate 231 and the connecting beam 11 enhances the connection strength between the connecting hanger 23 and the connecting beam 11, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity. One end of the hanging column 232 is fixed to the connecting plate 231, and the other end forms a U-shaped groove. One end of the clamping arm is rotatably mounted in the U-shaped groove via a rotating pin, and the other end of the clamping arm is fixed to the roller brush mounting base 21. Under the above structure, the roller brush mounting base 21 can rotate freely relative to the hanging column 232 through the clamping arm. That is, the roller brush mounting base 21 and the connecting hanging base 23 are non-rigidly connected. The snow removal roller brush 22 can be automatically lifted under force and can be automatically lowered under gravity to adapt to uneven road surfaces.

[0041] Furthermore, each tension component 3 also includes a rocker arm 32, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam 1. The end of each flexible connecting strip 31 facing away from the roller brush mounting seat 21 is connected to the other end of the rocker arm 32. Each rocker arm 32 is correspondingly mounted on a connecting beam 11. Rotation of the rocker arm 32 allows for the relative tensioning or relaxation of the flexible connecting strip 31, i.e., pulling up or relaxing the roller brush mounting seat 21, thereby adjusting the height of the snow removal roller brush 22 above the ground. For example, rotating the rocker arm 32 pulls the flexible connecting strip 31 upwards, i.e., applying force to lift the roller brush mounting seat 21; or rotating the rocker arm 32 in the opposite direction relaxes the flexible connecting strip 31, i.e., relaxes the tension on the roller brush mounting seat 21, allowing the roller brush mounting seat 21 to automatically descend under its own weight. By adjusting the rocker arm 32 and the flexible connecting strip 31, the distance between the roller brush mounting base 21 and the mounting beam 1 can be precisely adjusted. When the roller brush contacts the ground, different adjustment levels result in different degrees of relaxation of the flexible connecting strip 31, facilitating adaptation to varying degrees of uneven road surfaces during subsequent snow removal operations. Of course, in other embodiments, the flexible connecting strip 31 can also be adjusted using other structures. For example, each tension component 3 includes a rocker plate, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting beam 1. One end of the flexible connecting strip 31 is wrapped around the rocker plate. The rotation of the rocker plate causes the flexible connecting strip 31 to wrap around or gradually unwrap from the rocker plate, thereby achieving length adjustment of the flexible connecting strip 31.

[0042] Specifically, each tension component 3 further includes a drive source 33, which is mounted on the mounting base beam 1 and drives a rocker arm 32. Each drive source 33 can drive one rocker arm 32 to rotate. By driving the rocker arm 32 to rotate through the drive source 33, the flexible connecting strip 31 is tightened or loosened, thereby adjusting the degree of loosening of the flexible connecting strip 31.

[0043] In one embodiment, the drive source 33 is a rotary motor, which drives the rocker arm 32 to rotate. One end of the flexible connecting strip 31 is hinged to one end of the rocker arm 32. The rocker arm 32 rotates forward or backward, causing the flexible connecting strip 31 to tighten or loosen.

[0044] In another embodiment, the drive source 33 is a telescopic drive component, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam 1, and the drive end of the telescopic drive component is connected to the rocker arm 32. The telescopic drive component can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. The extension and retraction of the telescopic drive component pushes or pulls the rocker arm 32 to rotate.

[0045] In this embodiment, each tension component 3 further includes an adapter seat 34, which is mounted on the mounting base beam 1. One end of the rocker arm 32 is rotatably connected to the adapter seat 34 via a first hinge seat, and the telescopic drive member is rotatably connected to the adapter seat 34 via a second hinge seat. The end of the rocker arm 32 rotatably connected to the adapter seat 34 is the first end, and the end connected to the flexible connecting strip 31 is the second end. The other end of the flexible connecting strip 31 is rotatably connected to the roller brush mounting base 21 via a third hinge seat. The driving end of the telescopic drive member is connected between the first and second ends of the rocker arm 32. The extension or retraction of the telescopic drive member pushes or pulls the rocker arm 32 to rotate.

[0046] Preferably, the rocker arm 32 includes a first segment 321 and a second segment 322 connected at an angle. The end of the first segment 321 facing away from the second segment 322 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base beam 1. A flexible connecting strip 31 is connected to the end of the second segment 322 facing away from the first segment 321. The driving end of the telescopic drive is connected to the connection between the first segment 321 and the second segment 322. The angled connection of the first segment 321 and the second segment 322 makes the rocker arm 32 more resilient to force and helps to save the driving stroke of the telescopic drive, thus saving space.

[0047] For example, the rocker arm 32 includes two relatively parallel rods. The driving end of the telescopic drive is provided with a drive head, which is located between the two rods and is rotatably connected to the two rods through a rotating shaft. A pin is connected between one end of the two rods, and a flexible connecting strip 31 is connected to the pin.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and the aforementioned vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, which is detachably mounted on the main beam of the vehicle body. By employing the aforementioned vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device, snow removal work on uneven road surfaces is convenient, with better removal effect and higher work safety.

[0049] Preferably, the axis of the snow removal roller brush 22 is set at an angle to the width direction of the vehicle body so that the snow removal roller brush 22 can sweep the snow to the roadside during snow removal operations.

[0050] During snow removal operations, the vehicle-mounted suspended snow removal device is installed on the vehicle's main frame. The snow removal roller brush 22 contacts the ground. The loosening degree of the flexible connecting strip 31 is adjusted by the drive source 33. The vehicle starts moving forward, and the snow removal roller brush 22 rotates to remove snow. When encountering a raised road surface, because the roller brush mounting base 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting hanger 23, and the flexible connecting strip 31 is non-rigid and does not restrict the rotation of the roller brush mounting base 21, the snow removal roller brush 22 is subjected to an upward force. The roller brush mounting base 21 is lifted, and under the action of the snow removal roller brush 22's own weight, the snow removal roller brush 22 is subjected to an upward force. The snow removal roller brush 22 rolls along the raised road surface to achieve a better snow removal purpose; when encountering a concave road surface, the snow removal roller brush 22 descends under its own weight to stick to the concave ground, and the flexible connecting strip 31 moves towards tightening. The snow removal roller brush 22 smoothly removes the snow accumulation on the concave road surface, and when the flexible connecting strip 31 is fully tightened, it can prevent the roller brush mounting base 21 from rotating excessively, avoiding the roller brush mounting base 21 and the connecting hanger 23 from rotating and getting stuck at an angle or causing the roller brush mounting base 21 to rotate in the opposite direction, affecting subsequent work. By adjusting the initial relaxation degree of the flexible connecting strip 31, the distance between the roller brush mounting seat 21 and the mounting base beam 1 when the flexible connecting strip 31 is fully tightened can be adjusted, that is, the maximum rotation angle of the roller brush mounting seat 21 relative to the connecting hanger 23 can be adjusted, thus adapting to different road conditions; and during snow removal operations, the relaxation degree of the flexible connecting strip 31 can also be adjusted by the drive source 33, thereby adjusting the position of the snow removal roller brush 22 according to the actual working conditions. For example, when encountering a road surface with a large depression, the flexible connecting strip 31 can be further relaxed, so that the snow removal roller brush 22 can be lowered further to fit closer to the ground; at the same time, the flexible connecting strip 31 can be used to pull the roller brush mounting seat 21 up to be completely away from the ground. For example, when a vehicle passes through a road surface that does not require snow removal, the roller brush mounting seat 21 can be lifted up by tightening the flexible connecting strip 31 so that the snow removal roller brush 22 is completely away from the ground.

[0051] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
