Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straddle-type monorail technology, and in particular to a de-icing agent spreading device suitable for straddle-type monorail track beams. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, for rubber-tired transport systems on elevated rail lines, snow and ice accumulation on the tracks has a severe impact on vehicle safety. Therefore, research on snow melting and de-icing for the tracks is particularly important. Investigations have shown that existing road traffic mainly uses solid snow melting particles and salt-based snow melting agents for treatment. However, for the narrow and wide elevated concrete track beams, using solid snow melting agents would significantly increase the difficulty of transporting and spreading the snow melting agents. Therefore, liquid snow melting agents are preferred for elevated tracks. However, the transportation and spreading of snow melting agents cannot be achieved for existing operating vehicles.

[0003] For example, patent CN212835215U discloses a single-track intelligent snow-melting agent spraying equipment, which includes a bus stop. The snow-melting mechanism is provided on the upper inner side of the bus stop. The snow-melting mechanism includes a support plate, a first housing, a lead screw, a sleeve, a convex plate, a square rod, a curved plate, a storage box, an injection port, a water pump, a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, a horizontal pipe, a bracket, a nozzle, and a second housing. The two support plates are respectively fixed to the upper left and right sides of the bus stop. It is not suitable for straddle-type single rails. Utility Model Content
