Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of snow removal equipment technology, and relates to an ice melting vehicle, especially an emergency snow blowing and ice melting vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In winter, snowfall and icy roads cause numerous inconveniences to transportation and residents' lives, and even endanger traffic safety. Currently, common snow and ice removal methods include manual sweeping, mechanical snow removal, and the use of de-icing agents. However, manual sweeping is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to remove quickly and effectively in cases of large areas of snow and ice. While mechanical snow removal equipment can remove some snow, it is not effective at removing compacted snow and ice layers, and setting the snow removal position too low can damage the road surface. Although the use of chemical de-icing agents can melt snow and ice, the melted snow water mixed with chemical de-icing agents can have negative impacts on the environment, vegetation, and road facilities, such as corrosion.

[0003] With increasing demands for emergency road handling capabilities in winter, it is necessary to provide a snow removal and de-icing device that is efficient, environmentally friendly, and causes minimal damage to road surfaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an emergency snow blower and ice melter to solve the technical problems of existing technologies, such as high labor intensity, poor effect on clearing compacted snow and ice, damage to road surface, and damage to environmental vegetation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An emergency snow blowing and ice melting vehicle includes a vehicle chassis, a control system, a housing, a hot air blowing mechanism, a hydraulic mechanism, and an oil tank. The oil tank and housing are arranged sequentially from front to back on the vehicle chassis and are connected to the hot air blowing mechanism through oil pipelines. The hot air blowing mechanism is installed inside the box, and the air outlet of the hot air blowing mechanism extends from below the chassis of the vehicle body and points to the road surface on both sides of the chassis of the vehicle body. The hydraulic mechanism is mounted on the vehicle chassis and is connected to the starting unit of the hot air blowing mechanism via hydraulic lines. The control system is located in the driver's cab of the vehicle chassis and is electrically and controllably connected to the hydraulic mechanism and the hot air blowing mechanism.

[0006] The hot air jetting mechanism includes a hydraulic motor, an aircraft engine, and jet pipes housed within the housing. The hydraulic mechanism is connected to the power input end of the hydraulic motor via hydraulic pipelines for hydraulic transmission, and the power output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the power input end of the aircraft engine for mechanical transmission. The airflow output end of the aircraft engine is sealed to the air inlet end of the injection pipe, and the air outlet end of the injection pipe extends through the chassis to the bottom of the box and points to the road surface on both sides of the chassis.

[0007] The outlet end of the jet pipe is equipped with an air outlet adjustment mechanism.

[0008] The hydraulic motor and the aircraft engine are each two units. The airflow output ends of the two aircraft engines are connected to two injection pipes, and the air outlets of the two injection pipes point to the road surface on both sides of the vehicle chassis.

[0009] Heat insulation plates are installed on the inner wall of the housing and inside the housing between the aircraft engines, and a heat insulation layer is wrapped on the outer wall of the injection pipe.

[0010] The side wall of the box is provided with an air intake grille, and there are multiple sets of air intake grilles, which are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the side wall of the box.

[0011] A rear cover is provided on the rear side of the box body away from the cab. The rear side of the box body has an opening. The rear cover is hinged to the upper end of the box body and connected to the lower part by an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod, and has the freedom to open or close relative to the opening on the rear side of the box body.

[0012] The oil storage tank includes a tank body, a manhole, a filler inlet, a breather valve, a drain valve, and an oil pump and a level sensor that are electrically and controllably connected to the control system, respectively.

[0019] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an emergency snow and ice removal vehicle, which includes a chassis 1, a control system 2, a housing 3, a hot air blowing mechanism, a hydraulic mechanism 4, and an oil tank 5. In this embodiment, to adapt the ice removal vehicle to different operating environments, the chassis 1 is selected as a Class II heavy-duty truck chassis with good off-road and passability performance. The oil tank 5 and housing 3 are sequentially arranged on the chassis 1 from front to back and connected to the hot air blowing mechanism through oil pipelines to provide fuel to the hot air blowing mechanism. The hot air blowing mechanism is located inside the housing 3, and the air outlet of the hot air blowing mechanism extends from below the chassis 1 and points towards the road surface on both sides of the chassis 1, so as to spray the high-temperature, high-speed impact airflow from the hot air blowing mechanism onto the road surface on both sides of the chassis 1 for efficient snow and ice removal. The hydraulic mechanism 4 is arranged on the chassis 1 and connected to the starting unit of the hot air blowing mechanism through hydraulic pipelines. The hot air blowing mechanism is started by the hydraulic mechanism 4, thereby meeting the starting torque requirement of the hot air blowing mechanism. In addition, the control system 2 is installed in the cab 6 of the vehicle chassis 1 and is electrically and controllably connected to the hydraulic mechanism 4 and the hot air blowing mechanism, which facilitates the operator to accurately operate and control the entire ice melting truck and monitor its status from the cab 6.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the hot air jetting mechanism in this embodiment includes a hydraulic motor, an aircraft engine 8, and a jet pipe 9 disposed within the housing 3. The hydraulic mechanism 4 is connected to the power input end of the hydraulic motor via a hydraulic pipeline for hydraulic transmission, and the power output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the power input end of the aircraft engine 8 for mechanical transmission. The control system 2 starts the hydraulic motor by controlling the hydraulic mechanism 4, using the hydraulic motor to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, thereby driving the aircraft engine 8 to start. It has a large starting torque, is not sensitive to temperature, and can start stably in low-temperature environments.

[0022] In this embodiment, to output the high-temperature, high-speed impact airflow generated by the aircraft engine 8 to the road surface, the airflow output end of the aircraft engine 8 is sealed and connected to the air inlet end of the injection pipe 9. The air outlet end of the injection pipe 9 extends from the chassis 1 to below the housing 3, pointing towards the road surface on both sides of the chassis 1. To facilitate adjustment of the air outlet angle of the injection pipe 9, an air outlet adjustment mechanism 10 is provided at the air outlet end of the injection pipe 9 in this embodiment. Any commercially available mechanism can be selected for the air outlet adjustment mechanism. In this embodiment, the preferred one is the air outlet adjustment mechanism for a snow blower disclosed in publication number CN120250540A.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to ensure airflow supply on one side of the vehicle chassis 1, in this embodiment, it is preferred that there are two hydraulic motors and two aircraft engines 8, which correspond one-to-one. The airflow output ends of the two aircraft engines 8 are respectively connected to two injection pipes 9, and the air outlet ends of the two injection pipes 9 are respectively pointing to the road surface on both sides of the vehicle chassis 1.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to prevent the high temperature generated by the aircraft engine 8 during operation from affecting other circuits and components inside the housing 3, and also to isolate the outer wall of the housing 3 from excessive heat, in this embodiment, heat insulation plates 11 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the housing 3 and inside the housing 3 between the aircraft engines 8. The outer wall of the injection pipe 9 and the wiring harness and other components inside the housing 3 are all wrapped with heat insulation layers.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to provide sufficient air to the aircraft engine 8 during operation, in this embodiment, an air intake grille 12 is provided on the side wall of the housing 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple sets of air intake grilles 12, which are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the side wall of the box body 3.

[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate worker access and heat dissipation, a rear cover 13 is provided on the rear side of the housing 3 away from the cab 6 in this embodiment. The rear side of the housing 3 has an opening, and the rear cover 13 is hinged to the upper end of the housing 3, allowing it to open or close relative to the opening on the rear side of the housing 3. The lower part is connected by an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod, and its opening or closing is controlled by the electric push rod or hydraulic mechanism 4. In order to provide convenience and protection for daily vehicle maintenance, safe driving, and night operation, a vehicle body accessory 24 is also provided under the chassis 1 in this embodiment.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the oil tank 5 includes a tank body 14, a manhole, a filler port 16, a breather valve 17, a drain valve 18, and an oil pump 19 and a level sensor 20, which are electrically and controllably connected to the control system 2, respectively. The oil pump 19 is located at the bottom of the tank body 14 and connected to a hot air jetting mechanism via an oil pipeline, for supplying oil to the aircraft engine 8. The drain valve 18 is located at the bottom of the tank body 14 for draining the oil during maintenance. The level sensor 20 is located above the drain valve 18 and is used to monitor the oil level in the tank body 14 in real time. The manhole is located at the top of the tank body 14, and a manhole cover 15 is fitted at the manhole for easy observation and maintenance of the internal condition of the tank body 14. In this embodiment, the filler port 16 and the breather valve 17 are respectively located on the manhole cover 15, and a multi-stage filtration mechanism is provided on the side of the manhole cover 15 located inside the tank body 14 to prevent impurities from entering the tank body 14 during refueling.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned fuel tank 5, since the aircraft engine 8 needs to burn fuel to generate high-temperature, high-speed airflow, the capacity of the fuel tank 5 is larger than that of a conventional heavy truck fuel tank. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the tank body 14 is provided with a uniformly corrugated reinforcing structure to increase the strength of the tank body 14. In addition, longitudinal partitions 21 and transverse partitions 22 with corrugated structures are arranged intersectingly inside the tank body 14. The longitudinal partitions 21 and transverse partitions 22 are perpendicular to each other and are vertically arranged on the bottom surface of the tank body 14. Multiple irregularly distributed circular holes 23 are evenly opened on the longitudinal partitions 21 and transverse partitions 22, which can not only strengthen the strength of the tank body 14, but also buffer the impact of the oil inside the tank body 14 and prevent the tank body 14 from deforming.
