With the motor M1 advantageously being a hydraulic motor thescatter plate 41 is rotated. It comprises, on its top surface,nodules 43 or similar gripping parts that grip on the antiskid material being scattered, which flows from thebottom opening 40 of thecontainer 34. When not rotated, theplate 41 closes thebottom opening 40. -
Figure 14 shows amaintenance arrangement 50 for snow ploughing/snow scooping and antiskid treatment of a ground surface. Themaintenance arrangement 50 comprises astorage container 51 for antiskid substance in order to fill up the ploughing device container. The antiskid substance is brought to thestorage container 51 by a lorry and unloaded from it to thestorage container 51 by aconveyor 53 of the lorry. Thestorage container 51 comprises aconveyor 52. such as a motor M2 driven screw conveyor, belt conveyor, chain conveyor, or similar. By means of it, the antiskid substance such as sand is transferred through the bottom opening of thestorage container 51 by means of theconveyor 52 from the lower position to upper position and directly to theantiskid substance container snow plough 10 itself, which is hooked up to a tractor T. Theconveyor 52 is driven by a motor M2, advantageously with a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic drive thereof is taken from the hydraulic system of the tractor T, or similar. - The
storage container 51 is equipped with an openable andclosable lid Figure 14 , thelids lids lids - As shown in
Figure 14 , the slewing axes of the lid/lids of the antiskid substance container of the snow plough are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. This way the lid/lids when open do not obscure the forward view from the tractor cabin. -
Figure 15a shows a second preferred embodiment of thestorage container 51 of the invention. Thestorage container 51 is a longitudinal structure that is advantageously more than twice the length of its cross sectional size. This allows the storage container structure to be low but still very spacious regarding itsinternal storage space 56. Thestorage container 51 comprises aconveyor 70 by means of which antiskid material such a sand or crushed stones is transferred to thecontainer 17; 34 of the sanding or scattering device. The antiskid material flows under gravity through aslot 53, running under the container along its length, to theconveyor 70. Theconveyor 70 is advantageously a chain conveyor which comprises, at a distance from each other along the length of the conveyor, scoopparts 71 such as transverse bars that grip the antiskid material and move it forward and further upward and to the separateinventive container 17; 34 of the device scattering the antiskid material. - Under the container body, the
storage container 51 comprises a support body and an upward body portion that has quick fastening means 60 such as a V-shaped means such as a bar to which the hook device couples by its hook in order to pull the storage container onto a platform of a truck as inFigure 15 or onto a platform of a trailer as inFigure 16b . - The pulling onto a platform may also be performed with a wire device in which case the hook of the wire is connected to the fastening means of the
storage container 51, such as lugs with holes. The wire is drawn onto the reel of a winch and the storage container is further pulled on a dumpable body. The lowering onto the ground of the storage container takes place by tilting the dumpable body in the wire device embodiment. In such a case, the lowering onto the ground takes place under gravity. -
Figure 16a shows an embodiment of the invention where thestorage container 51 with the includedconveyor 70 rest on a trailer with wheels, which may be moved with a tractor or similar. This way, the usage location of the container may be easily changed. InFigure 16b , the container is pulled onto a trailer with ahook device 61, which is an accessory of the trailer. Thehook 63 on the turningbody 62 of thehook device 61 is coupled to a mating fastening means 60 on thestorage container 51, such as abar 60a. By turning thebody 62 of thehook device 61 with ahydraulic cylinder 64, thestorage container 51 is pulled onto the trailer, and by turning it to the other direction thestorage container 51 with itsconveyor 70 is lowered onto the ground. -
Figure 17 shows the filling up of thestorage container 51 with a bucket loader. The openable/closable lid 520 of the storage container is in its open position. It is hinged with hinge means 521, parallel to the length X20 of the container and located at a longitudinal edge of thecontainer body 52. The hinging of thelid 520 extends along the length of thecontainer 51. Thelid 520 may be opened and closed by an actuator or manually by hand. The load may be picked up from a large pile of material, which is in an enclosed space such as a hall space. - By means of the snow bucket and maintenance arrangement according to the invention, the filling up of the
storage container 51 and its use may be easily allocated to different actors. The ownership of the storage containers may reside with yet another actor and the actual sanding with another actor. - The invention discloses a new method of dealing with an antiskid material for antiskid treatment, in which method
- a) The
antiskid substance container 17; 34 of the snow bucket according toclaim 1 is filled up with antiskid material, to which device a work machine such as a tractor moving the device is detachably hooked up. - b) The
antiskid substance container 17; 34 of the snow bucket is filled up from astorage container 51 which comprises aconveyor 70 by means of which the antiskid material is transferred to thecontainer 17;34 of the scattering device through thebottom slot 53 of thestorage container 51. - c) The
storage container 51 of the antiskid substance is left to lie at its usage location and the filling up of thecontainer 17; 34 of the scattering device is carried out from it. - d) The
storage container 51 is pulled with ahook device 61 or similar onto the platform of a truck or a platform of a trailer and moved on to a new usage location, and that thestorage container 51 comprises a quick fastening means 60 such as abar 60a or a lug with a hole to which a pulling device such as ahook device 61 is detachably connected to by itshook 63, the mating fastening means 60 is a quick fastening means. - e) And in that in the method the antiskid material is made flow under gravity through a longitudinal
free opening 53 at the bottom of the storage container directly on a horizontal conveyor flow F1 and after this transferred by means of a conveyor obliquely upward by means of a conveyor flow F2 and further to thecontainer 17; 34 of the ploughing or scattering device as shown inFigure 15a , for example. -
Figure 18 shows thestorage container 51 ofFigures 15a, 15b ,16a, 16b and17 from the side and axonometrically.Figure 19 is a cross section A-A ofFigure 18 µand as a partial view,
Thestorage container 51 is a longitudinal structure that is more than twice the length of its cross sectional diameter. The container is advantageously a metal structure. It comprises a container body and below it a base body, that is, alower body 58, which has anupward body portion 59 which comprises fastening means 60 to pull thestorage container 51 with thehook device 61 or similar onto the platform of a truck or on the platform of a trailer. The fastening means 60 may be abar 60a having a V-shape to keep the hook of the hook device at the centre on the longitudinal line X20 in a moving situation of thestorage container 51. - When the transfer device being used is a wire winch, the hooks of the wire may be fastened to lugs that have holes in them. The
storage container 51 narrows in a wedge-shaped manner towards the longitudinal bottom outlet, under which there is the horizontal flow F1 of the conveyor along the length of the longitudinal slot. Advantageously theconveyor 70 is a chain conveyor that passes as an endless loop through sheaves at its ends. To the upmost sheave is coupled a drive motor M2, advantageously a hydraulic motor, acquiring its driving power from the work machine such as a tractor T moving the plough/scatterer. Thechain conveyor 70 comprisesscoops 71 at a distance from each other, used to grip the material and to transfer it. Thescoops 71 may be bars. By means of the motor M2, the conveyor, its chain loop, is rotated. Thestorage container 51 does not need any closing device underneath, because the horizontal conveyor flow F1 acts as the closer of the container. - Then
conveyor 70 is an essential part of thestorage container 51 and is part of its structure when located at its usage location such as a yard. -
Figure 20 is a cross-section B-B of the storage container ofFigure 18 . The openable andclosable lid 520 is the topmost and closes the fillinghole 55 covering the entire top part. Inside thestorage container 51 there is astorage space 56 for the antiskid material such as sand or crushed stone. - The
chain conveyor 70 is under thedischarge outlet 53 beneath thestorage container 51 and closes thedischarge outlet 53 in such a manner, however, that the material reaches the conveyor flow F1 and forward. Thedischarge outlet 53 is a longitudinal slot parallel to the longitudinal axis X20 of the container along the length X20 of the container. Sand, crushed stones or a similar substance drops under gravity to the horizontal upper flow F1 of theconveyor 70, and transfers moved by thescoops 71 to an obliquely upward running vertical flow F2 and at its end the material drops to thecontainer 34 and shown inFigure 15a . The inside of thestorage container 51, that is,storage space 56, narrows in a wedge-like manner downward, and the material drops under gravity out from the inside of thestorage container 51. Thestorage container 51, itscontainer body 600 is supported byribs 57 to thelower body 58 supported by which it rests. Thelower body 58 also comprises anupward body portion 59 where the quick fastening means 60 are located to grip thestorage container 51 with thehook device 61 or a wire winch. The quick fastening means 60 are advantageously formed of thebar 60a or lugs with holes in them for the wire device. Theconveyor 70 is located as regards its horizontal flow F1 between thelower body 58 and thecontainer body 52 of thestorage container 51. - A person skilled in the art will find it obvious that, as technology advances, the basic idea of the invention may be implemented in many different ways. The invention and its embodiments are thus not restricted to the examples described above but may vary within the scope of the claims.
