Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides a device for removing soil accumulation on the shoulder of mountain roads, belonging to the technical field of highway maintenance equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Due to complex geological conditions, rain erosion during the rainy season, and rockfalls from slopes, mountain roads are prone to accumulating debris—a mixture of soil, gravel, and decaying vegetation—on their shoulders. This accumulated soil encroaches on the limited effective width of the road surface, posing a serious threat to driving safety. To maintain smooth and safe traffic flow, regular removal of shoulder soil is an essential maintenance task. Currently, one common method is to use a pusher device, towed or driven by an engineering vehicle, to push the accumulated soil from the shoulder outwards to the lower slope of the roadside.

[0003] However, existing push-plate type soil removal devices have significant drawbacks in practical applications. First, the soil in mountainous areas is often highly adhesive; during continuous operation, the working surface of the push plate easily becomes covered with soil, which significantly increases the resistance to the push plate's movement and reduces bulldozing efficiency. Operators are forced to frequently use shovels and other tools for manual removal, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that severely impacts the continuity and efficiency of maintenance work. Second, the movement of soil during bulldozing generates a large amount of dust. This dust permeates the roadside, not only severely polluting the environment and affecting the growth of surrounding vegetation and residents' lives, but also significantly reducing visibility in the work area and downwind, posing a great threat to the safety of maintenance personnel and passing vehicles. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a road shoulder soil removal device that can quickly, conveniently, and effectively prevent soil adhesion and suppress dust generation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that during the process of removing accumulated soil from the shoulder of mountain roads, the mud adhering to the working surface of the push plate is difficult to clean, and at the same time, dust is easily generated during the cleaning process, which affects the road environment.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the proposed technical solution is as follows: a device for removing accumulated soil from the shoulder of a mountain highway, comprising a vehicle body, with a removal pusher plate horizontally slidable on the side of the vehicle body for pushing away accumulated soil from the shoulder; and further comprising:

[0006] The vehicle body includes a scraper and a nozzle. Two support plates are fixedly installed on the side of the vehicle body, and a rotating frame is rotatably connected to the support plates. The rotating frame is vertically arranged, and a scraper that can remove residual soil from the working surface of the push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame. An L-shaped bracket is fixedly connected to the rotating frame, and a nozzle that can clean the working surface of the push plate is installed on the bracket, with the nozzle facing horizontally. The rotating frame, which can drive the nozzle to rotate to a vertically downward direction for dust suppression, is connected to the support plates through a rotating mechanism.

[0007] A lifting plate; a groove communicating with the outside is provided in the vehicle body, and the lifting plate is slidably disposed in the groove; an electric push rod is fixedly disposed on the side of the lifting plate, and a cleaning push plate is fixedly connected to the working end of the electric push rod.

[0008] As an improvement, a hydraulic telescopic rod is provided in the groove, and the working end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lifting plate.

[0009] As an improvement, the working surface of the cleaning push plate is located at a position corresponding to the working surface of the scraper; the lower end of the cleaning push plate is close to the road surface but there is a gap between it and the road surface; a sweeping brush that contacts the road surface is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cleaning push plate, and there is a gap between the sweeping brush and the cleaning push plate.

[0010] As an improvement, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor, a rotating shaft, and a connecting rod; the rotating motor is fixedly mounted on the support plate, and the rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected between the two support plates, is fixedly connected to the working end of the rotating motor; the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and also fixedly connected to the rotating frame.

[0011] As an improvement, a water tank containing clean water is fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body, and a water pump is installed on the water tank; the working end of the water pump is connected to a delivery pipe, and the delivery pipe is connected to the nozzle.

[0012] As an improvement, the delivery pipe is a flexible hose; the nozzles are provided in a plurality of positions, and each nozzle corresponds to a through-hole in the rotating frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. A scraper capable of removing residual soil from the working surface of the cleaning push plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rotating frame. This application, by setting up a scraper and a lifting plate, allows the lifting plate to move upwards when soil adheres to the working surface of the cleaning push plate, creating relative motion with the scraper. This enables the scraper to quickly remove the soil adhering to the cleaning push plate. No manual intervention is required, completely solving the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual cleaning, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the cleaning operation.

[0015] 2. The nozzles that can clean the working surface of the cleaning push plate are mounted on the bracket. After the entire cleaning work is completed, the nozzles can be used to thoroughly rinse the working surface of the cleaning push plate. At the same time, the rotating mechanism can drive the nozzles to rotate to a vertical downward direction, which can play a role in dust reduction during the soil removal process, achieving two goals at once.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Reference Appendix Figure 1 This utility model provides a device for removing soil accumulation on the shoulder of a mountain road: it includes a vehicle body 1, and a removal push plate 2 that can push away soil accumulation on the shoulder is horizontally slidably arranged on the side of the vehicle body 1; when working, the removal push plate 2 is aligned with the soil accumulation, and the soil accumulation is pushed towards the slope of the side of the road by the sliding of the removal push plate 2, thereby removing it.

[0023] Reference Appendix Figure 2 , 3 Two support plates 4 are fixedly installed on the side of the vehicle body 1, and a rotating frame 5 is rotatably connected to the support plates 4. The rotating frame 5 is vertically set, and a scraper 6 that can remove residual soil from the working surface of the cleaning push plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 5. A groove 11 communicating with the outside is opened in the vehicle body 1, and a lifting plate 15 is slidably set in the groove 11. An electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the lifting plate 15, and the cleaning push plate 2 is fixedly connected to the working end of the electric push rod 14. A hydraulic telescopic rod 10 is set in the groove 11, and the working end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 15.

[0024] The electric push rod 14 facilitates the sliding of the cleaning push plate 2; at the same time, the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 can drive the cleaning push plate 2 to rise and fall through the lifting plate 15. On the one hand, it can retract the cleaning push plate 2 upwards, and when the cleaning push plate 2 is not working, it can prevent the lower end of the cleaning push plate 2 from being too close to the road, which would cause the lower end of the cleaning push plate 2 to collide with the road surface when the vehicle body 1 is moving; on the other hand, the working surface of the cleaning push plate 2 is located at the position corresponding to the working surface of the scraper 6. When the cleaning push plate 2 moves upwards, it can generate relative movement with the scraper 6 while in contact with it, thereby quickly and conveniently scraping away the dirt adhering to the working surface of the cleaning push plate 2.

[0025] Reference Appendix Figure 3 The lower end of the cleaning push plate 2 is close to the road surface but with a gap to avoid interference and collision with the road surface due to insufficient road surface flatness when the cleaning push plate 2 is working. However, this setting may cause a small amount of soil accumulated in the gap between the lower end of the cleaning push plate 2 and the road surface to be unable to be removed. The rear side of the cleaning push plate 2 is fixedly connected to a sweeping brush 3 that contacts the road surface, which can improve the removal effect of the small amount of soil accumulated in the gap. There is a gap between the sweeping brush 3 and the cleaning push plate 2, which allows some space for these small amounts of soil to accumulate when the sweeping brush 3 is sweeping.

[0026] Reference Appendix Figure 3 An L-shaped bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 5. A nozzle 13 that can clean the working surface of the cleaning push plate 2 is set on the bracket 12, and the nozzle 13 faces the horizontal direction. The rotating frame 5, which can drive the nozzle 13 to rotate to the vertical downward direction to reduce dust, is connected to the support plate 4 through a rotating mechanism.

[0027] Reference Appendix Figure 4 The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor 16, a rotating shaft 17, and a connecting rod 18. The rotating motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 4, and the rotating shaft 17, which is rotatably connected between the two support plates 4, is fixedly connected to the working end of the rotating motor 16. The connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 17 and is also fixedly connected to the rotating frame 5.

[0028] By setting up a rotating motor 16 and a rotating shaft 17, the rotating frame 5 and the bracket 12 can be driven to rotate, thereby changing the orientation of the nozzle 13. This allows the nozzle 13 to perform two tasks: dust suppression and cleaning of the working surface of the push plate 2, reducing the complexity of the structure.

[0029] Reference Appendix Figure 3 A water tank 7 containing clean water is fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body 1, and a water pump 8 is installed on the water tank 7. The working end of the water pump 8 is connected to a delivery pipe 9, and the delivery pipe 9 is connected to the nozzle 13. The delivery pipe 9 is a sufficiently long flexible hose to prevent the rotating frame 5 and the bracket 12 from affecting the communication with the water tank 7 when they rotate. Several nozzles 13 are provided, and each nozzle 13 corresponds to the through-hole of the rotating frame 5 to ensure that the rotating frame 5 does not obstruct the water flow sprayed from the nozzles 13.

[0030] The principle of this utility model

[0031] This device operates with a clear and efficient process when clearing accumulated soil from road shoulders. Before operation, the operator first starts vehicle 1 and smoothly drives it to the area of ​​the road shoulder to be worked on. (See attached...) Figure 3The overall height of the lifting plate 15 is adjusted by controlling the raising and lowering of the hydraulic telescopic rod 10, so that the bottom surface of the cleaning push plate 2 is close to the road surface, while the sweeping brush 3 contacts the road surface. Then, the electric push rod 14 is activated, pushing the cleaning push plate 2 horizontally outward, ensuring its working surface fully contacts the accumulated soil on the shoulder, and pushing the soil towards the roadside slope. Simultaneously, the sweeping brush 3 can sweep away any remaining mud on the road surface and push it towards the roadside slope. If a lot of dust is generated during the soil removal process, additional dust can be added. Figure 3 , 4 In the state of the rotating motor 16, the rotating frame 5 and the bracket 12 are rotated upward by the rotating shaft 17, making the rotating frame 5 horizontal and the nozzle 13 downward. The water pump 8 is started, and water is sprayed onto the working position through the nozzle 13 to reduce dust.

[0032] When removing excessive soil adhering to the working surface of pusher plate 2, which affects bulldozing efficiency, firstly, on the attached... Figure 2 , 3 In this state, the operator controls the electric actuator 14 to slightly retract the cleaning push plate 2, aligning it with the scraper 6. Then, the operator controls the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 to raise the lifting plate 15, causing the cleaning push plate 2 to rise and its working surface to come into close contact with the scraper 6 fixed below the rotating frame 5. The relative movement with the scraper 6 thoroughly removes the dirt adhering to the surface of the cleaning push plate 2. The entire process requires no manual operation, completely solving the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive manual cleaning, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the cleaning operation.

[0033] After clearing accumulated soil from a section of the road shoulder or completing a full day's work, the clearing pusher 2 can be cleaned. During cleaning, the rotating shaft 17 is driven by the rotating motor 16, adjusting the nozzles 13 on the bracket 12 to a horizontal orientation. Simultaneously, in the attached... Figure 2 , 3 In this state, the hydraulic telescopic rod 10 and the lifting plate 15 are used to drive the cleaning push plate 2 to rise to the position corresponding to the nozzle 13. The water pump 8 is started, and the clean water in the water storage tank 7 is sprayed out from the nozzle 13 through the delivery pipe 9 to rinse the working surface of the cleaning push plate 2 and make it clean and new.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
