DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for collecting water on a road surface, and more particularly to a device for collecting water on a road surface to check the condition of a deicing agent sprayed on the road surface. It relates to a water device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to prevent a traffic accident or the like due to freezing of a road surface in winter, it has been general to mount a spike tire, snow tire, or the like on the vehicle.
However, when driving with spiked tires, when driving on a section that is not frozen, the road surface is shaved and becomes a source of dust,
There have been problems such as destruction of the environment along the railroad and deterioration of riding comfort. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, it has been practiced to spray a deicing agent on a road surface in order to secure road safety in winter by preventing the road surface from freezing itself.

[0003] In this case, although the road surface is prevented from being frozen in a section where a sufficient antifreezing agent has been sprayed, a sufficient antifreezing effect cannot be exerted when the sprayed antifreeze gradually becomes thinner.

Accordingly, when the concentration of the drug is reduced to a certain extent, the road surface cannot be prevented from being frozen unless the road surface deicing agent is sprayed again. However, spraying an unnecessarily large amount of the road surface deicing agent is not only in terms of cost, but also. It causes various harms to roadside and traveling vehicles.

[0005] For this reason, it is necessary to measure the concentration of the residual drug in the water on the road surface. As a method for collecting the water on the road surface, in the case of a general road, the worker gets down on the road surface and manually operates the spoiler. In general, water is collected using a suction tool such as that described above, and measured using a densitometer.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional technique, even on a motorway, a worker must go down on the road surface to collect moisture on the road surface. It was dangerous.

Further, since it is not possible to collect moisture on the road surface while the automobile is running, it is necessary to stop and get off at each point where the water is collected and collect it with a spoid or the like, which is very troublesome.

Further, if the collected water is stored outside the vehicle, it freezes, and there is a problem in that the operation of feeding water into the vehicle and detecting work is hindered.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to pay attention to the above-described conventional technology, and to provide a road surface water sampling apparatus capable of collecting road surface water while driving an automobile. It is in.

Then, the moisture on the road surface which the running tires jumped up, the second opening formed in the seat member is moved to the support plate by, for example, moving the seat member upward or left and right by operating from inside the vehicle. It is positioned at a position corresponding to the formed first opening, and is received by the water contact plate through the second opening and the first opening. Moisture received by the water contact plate is stored in the water tank through the water intake. For this reason, the operator does not stop the vehicle and gets down on the road surface, and the moisture on the road surface is automatically collected only by the operation of moving the sheet member in the vertical direction.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for collecting moisture on a road surface according to the first aspect of the present invention.
The water contact plate is formed of a hot water tank, and salt detecting means is provided below the water tank.

Therefore, the water contact plate is formed of a water bath and the salt detecting means is provided below the water bath, so that even if the water on the road surface becomes, for example, snow or sharpet, the water contact plate formed of a water bath is When it hits the board, it melts and becomes water, which is stored in a water tank. The water stored in the water tank is sent to the salt detecting means, and the concentration of the salt is instantaneously measured.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for collecting moisture on a road surface according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, wherein the apparatus for collecting moisture on a road surface is attached at appropriate intervals in the vertical direction on the front surface of the support plate. It is characterized by comprising: a plurality of projection members; and a scraper provided on a front surface of the sheet member via a bracket attached to the support plate above each of the projection members.

Thus, for example, if it is snowing,
Water on the road surface is not collected, the second opening does not match the first opening, and is located below the first opening, preventing water or snow from entering the aquarium. Further, even if snow or ice adheres to the sheet member, the snow or ice is removed from the sheet member by moving the sheet member up and down by the scraper provided on the front surface of the sheet member and the projection member.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for collecting moisture on a road surface according to the first, second, or third aspect of the present invention, further comprising an index member having one end attached to an upper end of the sheet member. It is characterized by the following.

Therefore, since the index member having one end attached to the upper end of the sheet member is provided, the operator operates the index member from the inside of the vehicle to move the sheet member upward or left and right. When the second opening coincides with the first opening, the water on the road surface passes through the second opening and the first opening, hits the water contact plate, and is then stored in the water tank. Thus, when the index member is operated by the operator, the sheet member moves up and down, and moisture on the road surface is automatically collected.
