Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for melting the now, particularly suitable for melting the snow accumulated on the roads.
  • the present invention relates to a machine for melting the snow and for collecting up or dispersing the obtained water, optionally mixed with an anty-freezing agent.
  • heavy vehicles such as lorries, tractors and bulldozers, provided, at the front part, with blades, wedges, and whirls.
  • snow-ploughs are particularly efficient for clearing roads and motorways where the space is sufficiently wide to permit the accumulation of the snow along the edges of roads or motorways without causing danger or creating difficult situations; while, they are not particularly efficient and most unsuitable for clearing the roads in the urban-centre.
  • Another drawback is the moving of cars, which, previous along the cases-of the roads, are trapped in by the accumulated snow.
  • a machine comprising heating means and means supporting said heating means and contacting the same with the snow to be melted.
  • the machine may be any known lorry, tractor or bulldozer which may be provided with a collecting tank and unloading pipe.
  • the heating means are preferably nozzle burners.
  • the means supporting the heating means and contacting said heating means with the snow may be a chamber provided with heating means and wherein the snow is admitted; pannels supporting the heating means and moved in sliding contact with the ground to be cleared; metallic rollers inside heated by the heating means; a hopper or feedbox provided with burners etc.
  • the advantages obtained by the machine of the present invention consist essentially in that no accumulation or whatever obstruction of snow is formed in the borders of the cleared roads; the snow immediatly melted in water, reducing the volume and easying the evacuation problems, which may be by the direct unloading into the sewers through manholes, by collecting the water into tanks, basins or canals, or by the direct disperse of the water onto the ground, preferably mixed with an anty-freezing substance.
  • the machine- for melting the snow essentially comprises a self-propelled vehicle (1), provided with an engine (2) and a driver's cabin (3).
  • the machine schematically illustrated in the figures, may have the structural and operative characteristics of the well known snow-ploughs or heavy vehicles used for the movement of the grounds. It can, therefore, be provided with two or four wheel traction (4); it can be anteriorly or posteriorly steered or else on the two axis; it can have two or more axis; it can be provided with wheels of the equal or different diameter and/or with pneumatics particularly adapt for its movement on the snow.
  • the machine is provided, at the front part, with a multiple shovel roller (5), arranged in transversal way and pared up with a collecting and conveyor tin (6).
  • the roller (5) is vertically regulable by a pneumatic piston and rotated by means of the same vehicle engine or by-an independent engine.
  • the collecting and conveyor tin (6) is articulated to a mouth (7) of a melting chamber (8)»
  • Chamber (8) is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle (1) and extends along all the width and height of the vehicle including the axis of the wheels (4).
  • the chamber (8) is formed by a front enclined inferior wall (9) terminating in a transversal loading tank (10), by a top wall (11) provided with a plurality of burners .(12), downwardly extending, and by an end wall (9').
  • the combustible is stored in a tank (15) and fed to burners (12) through conductors (13) regulating station (14).
  • the roller (5) collects the snow and pushes it into the transversal mouth (7).
  • the snow slides along the enclined inferior wall (9) wherein the flames of the burners (12) melt the snow.
  • the derivating water is collected into tank (10) and fed to the collecting tank (19) through a suction pipe (16), a pump (17) and a discharge duct (18).
  • the suction pipe (16) draws in the lower part of the tank (10) and may be provided with a filter.
  • the collecting tank (19) is provided with an unloading pipe (20).
  • the water obtained from the melting of the snow can be unloaded into sewers through-man-holes which are found along the roads or else it can be unloaded in other fit places.
  • the assemblement of the vehicle (1) creates paths free from snow, wide as the multiple shovel roller (5), without causing obstructions by heaps of snow on the edges of the roads.
  • the vehicle illustrated in fig. 3 is substantially identical to the vehicle of fig. 1, apart from the terminal part wherein the unloading duct (20') of the collecting tank (19') is connected, through a regulable mixer (21), to the unloading duct (22) of another tank (23),containing an anti-freezing agent. From the mixer (21) , the mixture anti-freezing agent and water is fed to a distributor (24) provided with a possible mixing fan and discharge spraying pipes (25).
  • the anti-freezing agent prevents that ice will be formed on the cleared path, and, further, facilitates the melding of the remaining small layer of snow, as the convoyer tin (5) cannot be slided into contact with the ground.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a machine (1') for melting the snow particularly suitable for the application on the existing vehicles. It essentially comprises a metallic pannel (26), which is hinged at (27) in the front part of the vehicle.
  • the pannel (26) is vertically regulable by means of idraulic or pneumatic pistons (28).
  • the pannel (26) is provided with a plurality of burners (12'), turned to the ground and applied by the fuel through flexible ducts (13'), pumping and regulating station (14') and tank (15').
  • the figure represents a vehicle particularly suitable for a melting snow device it is however, obvious that the above movable pannel (26) can be applied to the front part of any vehicle, such as, for example, lorries, tractors, bulldozers and similar heavy vehicles capable to carry also a combustible tank which is needed for the burners and a station for moving idraulic pistons (28).
  • Pannel (26) and the idraulic pistons (28) may be mounted onto a plate or a vertical structure (29), which is indipendent from the vehicle, and may be applied to the front part thereof.
  • the pannel (26) For a better position of pannel (26) relative, to ground, it may be provided with an anterior guide roller (30) and/or side small wheels (31).
  • the pannel (26) In the presence of big layers of snow to melt, the pannel (26) is preferably in a more or less inclined position, so that its back part adheres, as more as possible, to the ground while the front part is substantially at the same level of the snow layer.
  • Figure 5 illustrates another alternative embodiment of the present machine.
  • rollers (32) and (33) are hollow inside- and have the outside surface in metallic plate.
  • the burners (12") are applied in radial directions on the central axis (34) and are fed by the-fuel, stored in tank (15") through flexible ducts (13"), and power station (14").
  • the burners (12") overheat from the inside the surface of the rollers (32) and (33), which, by moving forward, melt the flattened snow.
  • the action of the two sequential rollers (32) and (33) guarantee the complete dissolution of the snow.
  • the machine may be provided with anterior shovel roller (35) which helps the movement and the distribution of the snow onto the anterior roller (32). Similar solution can be forseen with only one roller.
  • the above described machine may be obtained by substituting the rollers of the known stone-crasher vehicles, which may assume a double functions according to the requests.
  • the embodiment of the present machine illustrated in fig. 6, represents a machine for the dissolution of the snow in which the snow is sollected by a known anterior mechanical shovel (36) and unloaded into a superior drainage hopper (37) around which the burners are disposed.
  • the fuel is fed to the burners from the tank (15) through ducts (13).
  • the obtained water is collected in the below tank (19"), having the same structure of that described for the embodiments of figures 1, 2 or 3.
  • inventions of the present machine shown in figures 4 and 5 provided with snow melting means and wherein the obtained water is released on the route may be provided, if it is the case, with supplemental tanks (38) for an anti-freezing agent and with a discarge sprinkler (39).
