Electric ice scraper with heated blade, warm air guidance, ice removal and vibration support

Abstract

Electric ice scraper comprising a heated blade and an integrated hot air blower for simultaneous thermal and mechanical removal of ice and snow from vehicle surfaces.

Description

1. Title of the invention

[0001] "Electric ice scraper with heating blade, warm air guidance, ice resolution and vibration support" 2. Technical field

[0002] The invention relates to an electrical device for removing ice and snow from vehicle surfaces, in particular windshields, side mirrors and body parts. 3. State of the art

[0003] Conventional ice scrapers are made of plastic and require manual force. Some models have integrated heaters, but without active airflow. No devices exist that combine a heated blade and directed warm air to efficiently loosen and remove ice. 4. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a device that removes ice and snow faster, more safely and with less physical effort, without damaging the vehicle surface. 5. Solution

[0005] The invention solves this problem with an electric ice scraper that combines a heated blade with an integrated hot air blower. The hot air is directed via a deflector precisely onto the surface to be cleaned and the blade. This softens the ice and simultaneously removes it mechanically. A protective cap prevents snow from entering the blower. 6. Advantages ◯ Faster and more effective ice removal ◯ Protection of the vehicle surface ◯ Combined thermal and mechanical effect ◯ Mobility through battery option ◯ Safety through temperature control and automatic shut-off ◯ Flexible power supply: battery or 12V cable ◯ Replaceable battery for longer operating time ◯ Independence from vehicle operation when using battery power ◯ Combination of mechanical, thermal and chemical de-icing ◯ Faster effect in heavy ice ◯ Refillable and replaceable liquid bottle ◯ Safe use due to non-flammable substance 7. Energy supply The device is powered either by an integrated rechargeable battery or via a 12V cable connected to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The battery is replaceable and designed to allow for a complete windshield cleaning on a single charge. This enables flexible use both on the go and at a fixed location. 8. Additional de-icing fluid The invention comprises a mountable bottle containing a non-flammable de-icing fluid, which is finely distributed onto the iced surface via a nozzle and the warm air from the blower. The fluid supports the de-icing process and prevents re-icing. The bottle is replaceable and securely attached to the device via a threaded connection. 9. Adjustable handle The device features a scalable, telescopic handle that can be adjusted in length. This allows the user to comfortably reach all areas of the windshield as well as other parts of the vehicle. The handle is ergonomically shaped and heat-insulated for comfortable use even in low temperatures. 10. Integrated liquid atomization via blower The liquid is finely dispersed by the airflow through a nozzle near the blower's air outlet. The airflow creates a vacuum that draws the liquid from the bottle and sprays it as a fine mist onto the icy surface. This eliminates the need for an additional pump and simplifies the design. 11. Vibration support The blade of the device can be set into fine vibrations by an integrated vibration motor. These vibrations facilitate the mechanical removal of ice, especially thicker or frozen layers, and improve the overall efficiency of the device.
