Description

本考案は、温熱を利用して除雪融雪をする持ち手付き温熱融雪具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a thermal snowmelting tool with a handle that uses thermal heat to remove and melt snow.

雪国での除雪作業は雪の量及び湿った重い雪など雪の質によっては想像以上に重労働である。数年ごとに又は局地的に見舞われる大雪・豪雪では甚大な被害が持たされている。屋根雪下ろし中の転落や軒先の雪の落下、除雪作業での過労による人的被害も後を絶たず、少子高齢化により若者が少なくなり孤立する地域では高齢者自ら屋根雪下ろしや除雪をせざるを得ず事故が増え、益々除雪作業は過酷なものになってきている。幹線道路では大型重機の普及で除雪・排雪作業は進歩しているがそれ以外の道路や個人住宅地では依然として人力が頼りで、スコップや除雪用スノッパーで雪を小川や側溝へ排雪する他はない。しかし、降雪期には小川や側溝はすぐに雪で溢れ雪捨て場はなくなってしまう。道路は轍で凸凹となり、通学路も容易に除雪できず、車も歩行者も危険にさらされてしまう。物流社会において生活道路の不通は個々の生活にも地域経済にも大きな打撃をもたらす。 Snow removal work in a snowy country is harder than expected depending on the amount of snow and the quality of snow such as wet and heavy snow. Heavy snowfalls and heavy snowfalls that occur every few years or locally cause enormous damage. There is no end to human damage caused by falling during snow removal on the roof, falling snow on the eaves, and overwork in snow removal work, and the number of young people is decreasing due to the declining birthrate and aging population. The number of accidents has increased, and snow removal work is becoming more and more difficult. Snow removal and snow removal work is progressing on highways due to the spread of large heavy machinery, but on other roads and private residential areas, human power is still relied on, and snow is removed to streams and gutters with shovels and snow removal snoppers. There is no. However, during the snowfall season, streams and gutters will soon be flooded with snow and there will be no snow dumps. The roads are rutted and uneven, snow cannot be easily removed from school roads, and cars and pedestrians are at risk. In the logistics society, the interruption of living roads has a great impact on individual lives and the local economy.

また軒先の雪の落下に於いては、運悪く大量の雪の落下により重傷を負う事例も多い。従来、長い竿で軒先からはみ出した雪を叩き落すか、アルミ製のT字型のひっかき棒で落とす方法がある。しかし雪が凍みて硬い朝では落下させる事は容易ではなく、雪が緩み始めた頃に家にいる主婦や高齢者が叩きひっかき落とす事もかなり腕力が必要で、落とした雪が自分に当たり負傷する事例もある。屋根に積もった雪の重さは、新雪で1立方メートル当たり約300キログラムと云われ、雨が降り水分を含むと暈は減っても重さは約3から5倍になると云われている。その為、雪国では家屋の庇だけが壊れる事がとても多い。屋根雪下ろしをするまでもない場合でも、軒先の雪はなるべく多く落としておく方がよいとされている。雪を飛ばしたり運ぶ除雪機も高価で、敷地が広くないと使用できない。 In addition, when the snow on the eaves falls, there are many cases of serious injury due to the unfortunate fall of a large amount of snow. Conventionally, there is a method of knocking off the snow protruding from the eaves with a long rod, or a method of dropping it with a T-shaped scratch rod made of aluminum. However, it is not easy to drop it on a hard morning when the snow freezes, and it takes a lot of strength for housewives and elderly people at home to knock it off when the snow begins to loosen, and there are cases where the dropped snow hits you and injures you. .. The weight of snow on the roof is said to be about 300 kilograms per cubic meter of fresh snow, and it is said that when it rains and contains water, the weight will increase by about 3 to 5 times even if the halo is reduced. Therefore, in a snowy country, only the eaves of a house are often destroyed. Even if it is not necessary to remove the snow from the roof, it is better to remove as much snow as possible from the eaves. Snowplows that remove and carry snow are also expensive and cannot be used unless the site is large.

屋根雪下ろしを依頼した場合の標準作業価格(平成29年度・福井県大野市)は屋根面積76平方メートル(約23坪)当たり1万4800円。ただし、下ろした雪の処理費用は含まない。原則として弁当や用具は作業員が持参し、交通費は依頼者が実費負担、となっている。一人で屋根雪下ろしをすると約2~3時間かかり、下ろした雪の処理は、流雪溝や雪捨て場がない場合では、時間も価格も多大になってしまう。 The standard work price (FY2017, Ono City, Fukui Prefecture) when requesting to remove snow from the roof is 14,800 yen per 76 square meters (about 23 tsubo) of roof area. However, the cost of disposing of the snow that has been dropped is not included. As a general rule, workers bring their own lunch boxes and equipment, and the client bears the actual expenses for transportation. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to remove snow from the roof by yourself, and if there is no snow ditch or snow dump, it will take a lot of time and price to dispose of the removed snow.

解決しようとする問題点は、大雪による除雪・排雪に係る重労働を減少し、女性や高齢者でも楽に除雪・排雪作業が出き事故を減らし、たとえ雪捨て場がなくても雪を減らす事が出きる、本考案の持ち手付き温熱融雪具を提供する事にある。 The problem to be solved is to reduce the heavy labor related to snow removal and snow removal due to heavy snow, and even women and the elderly can easily remove and remove snow, reducing accidents and reducing snow even if there is no snow dump. The purpose is to provide a thermal snow melting device with a handle of the present invention.

本考案の持ち手付き温熱融雪具は大量の雪や湿った重たい雪をも、スコップや除雪用スノッパーですくっては何度も何度も移動させる事をせず、電源スイッチ(10)を入れて熱くなった雪受け容器(1)を雪の塊の中へ突っ込み、融雪が終えたら次から次へと移動し体力を使わずに融雪する。屋根の軒先にはみ出した雪に於いても凍みて硬い場合でも、中空の雪落し竿の持ち手(16)に設けたくの字型に湾曲した融雪容器(18)を自分の真上ではなく40から50センチメートル横の雪の中へ差し入れ、反対の横方向へゆっくりと横へ約40センチメートル程移動し一旦雪から引き抜く事で雪の縁が切れて、自分の真上ではなく横へ雪を落下させる。これを繰り返し融雪し縁を切りながら落雪させる事を特徴とする。 The heated snowmelter with a handle of the present invention does not move a large amount of snow or wet and heavy snow over and over again by scooping it with a scoop or a snow removal snopper, but turn on the power switch (10). The hot snow receiving container (1) is thrust into a lump of snow, and when the snow has finished melting, it moves one after another and melts the snow without using physical strength. Whether the snow that sticks out of the eaves of the roof is frozen and hard, the snowmelt container (18) that is curved in a dogleg shape provided on the handle (16) of the hollow snowfall rod is not directly above you, but 40 Insert it into the snow 50 cm from the side, slowly move about 40 cm to the side in the opposite direction, and once you pull it out of the snow, the edge of the snow will be cut off and the snow will not be directly above you. To drop. It is characterized by repeating this process to melt the snow and cut the edges to make the snow fall.

本考案の持ち手付き温熱融雪具は電源スイッチ(10)を入れ熱くなった雪受け容器(1)で順次融雪していくだけなので近くに流雪溝もなく大雪で雪の捨て場もない場合や、体力的にスコップや除雪用スノッパーでの除雪が困難な時にも楽に融雪が出来る。硬い雪をスコップで切り出す事で肩や腰を痛める事も防止できる。屋根の軒先にはみ出した雪に於いても腕力のない女性や高齢者でも雪が自然に落下する前に雪落し竿(16)で落しておく事ができ、いつ何時落下するかもしれない事故を防ぐ事ができる。 The thermal snowmelter with a handle of the present invention simply turns on the power switch (10) and melts the snow sequentially in the hot snow receiving container (1), so there is no snow ditch nearby and there is no snow dump due to heavy snow. Snow can be easily melted even when it is physically difficult to remove snow with a shovel or a snow removal snopper. By cutting out hard snow with a shovel, you can prevent your shoulders and lower back from being hurt. Even women and elderly people who have no strength even in the snow that protrudes from the eaves of the roof can drop it with a snowfall rod (16) before the snow falls naturally, preventing accidents that may fall at any time. I can do things.

梯子をかけて屋根に上り屋根雪下ろしをする時は、最初は従来のようにスコップ又は除雪用スノッパーで屋根の上に2メートル四方の足場の空間を作り、あらためて本考案の持ち手付き温熱融雪具を使用すると、スコップ又は除雪用スノッパーで屋根の雪をすくっては下へ放り投げるより体力的に楽であり、重労働の、下ろした雪の処理も必要ない。電源コード(9)が作業に不都合な場合は、実施例3のLPガス用金属雪受け容器(21)を使用する事も可能である。 When climbing up the roof with a ladder and removing the snow from the roof, first create a space of 2 meters square on the roof with a shovel or a snow removal snopper as before, and then use the heat melting tool with a handle of the present invention again. When used, it is physically easier than scooping the snow on the roof with a shovel or snow removal snopper and throwing it down, without the need for heavy labor and handling of the snow. If the power cord (9) is inconvenient for work, it is also possible to use the metal snow receiving container (21) for LP gas of Example 3.

本考案の持ち手付き温熱融雪具を用途により大型化、また形状を変えて自動車や鉄道のラッセル車に取り付ける事で、豪雪で除雪・排雪が充分出来ない時も、道路渋滞やラッセルパワー不足での鉄道運休なども緩和、減少する事も可能である。 By increasing the size of the heated snowmelting device with a handle of the present invention depending on the application, and by attaching it to a Russell car of a car or railway by changing its shape, even when heavy snowfall does not allow sufficient snow removal and snow removal, road congestion and Russell power shortage will occur. It is also possible to ease or reduce railroad suspension.
