Description

The present invention relates to a snow melting system that melts snow effectively and efficiently.

Conventionally, the general snow removal treatment for snow in winter has not changed for decades, and a large transport vehicle moves the snow to the snow dump, piles up a large amount of snow in one place, and warms up in spring. It was carried out by waiting for the snow to melt naturally.
When moving to a snow dump with a large transport vehicle, heavy traffic jams on arterial roads and the like occur, which is a problem. Ideally, a snow melting device without transport or road movement is desired. rice field.

As prior art document information related to the snowmelt system according to the present invention, for example, there is the following Patent Document 1.

Jikkenhei No. 5-10662

The snowmelting device described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a sprinkler having a vertically long trumpet-shaped discharge port attached to a water distribution pipe that can be transported and installed at an arbitrary location, and supplies high-pressure air together with the snowmelt water into the water distribution pipe to supply the snowmelt water. By warming in advance using the exhaust heat of the compressor drive engine, the warmed snowmelt water will be sprinkled as a vertical water mass, and the snow will be extinguished from the vicinity of the sprinkler to a long distance, so snow accumulation will occur. Is made to be able to be performed more effectively when extinguishing snow with snowmelt water.

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to load a certain amount of snow on a transport vehicle such as a dump truck and melt it all at once. In addition, foreign substances and dust are mixed in the snow, and if it is melted as it is, the soil will be polluted, it will be difficult to throw it into the drainage ditch as it is, or it will be reused as hot water for melting snow through a mechanical device. there were. Further, if the system can be easily assembled, disassembled and removed as needed, the convenience of the user is improved and it is preferable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a snow melting system that can effectively and efficiently melt snow loaded on a transport vehicle and purify the snow melting water so that it can be reused.

The snowmelt system of the present invention
A frame body that forms a space through which a transport vehicle can enter and exit, and has a sprinkler portion that sprinkles water on snow loaded on the transport vehicle located in the space.
A water tank portion for storing the snowmelt water of the snow melted by the watering, and
A septic tank that purifies the snowmelt water stored in the water tank,
It is characterized by being provided with a high-pressure hot water supply device that warms the snowmelt water purified by the septic tank and supplies it to the sprinkler unit at high pressure.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a snowmelt system that can effectively and efficiently melt snow loaded on a transport vehicle, purify the snowmelt water, and reuse it.

The block diagram of the snowmelt system which concerns on embodiment of this invention is shown. The usage state diagram of the snowmelt system which concerns on embodiment of this invention is shown.

First, the snowmelt system of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The snowmelt system 100 of the present embodiment includes a frame body 1, a water tank 2, a septic tank 3, and a high-pressure hot water supply device 4.
The snowmelt system 100 is installed, for example, in an outdoor site such as a business company or a convenience store, or in an outdoor site such as a large shopping mall. Depending on the site area (snow cover amount), the size and number of devices constituting the snowmelt system 100 may be increased, or a plurality of snowmelt systems 100 themselves may be installed.

The frame body 1 is configured by assembling a predetermined frame (made of metal, resin, etc.) 11 on three surfaces, a left and right side surface and a top surface. The front side and the rear side are open so that a transport vehicle t such as a dump truck can enter and exit. The frame 11 may be easily obtained by using a member used for a metal assembly scaffold (gate) that is always used in construction work. The specific structure of the framework is not particularly limited, and a widely known technique may be applied as long as it is a structure having a strength capable of exerting the effect of the present invention. Of course, the structure may include braces and the like.
Since the purpose of the frame 1 is to accept the snow-laden transport vehicle t as it is and eliminate the transport movement on the road, its size is, for example, about 3 meters in width and 4 meters in height. May be.

Further, a known sprinkler device 12 (including a high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipe) is attached to a predetermined portion of the frame 11 (for example, an iron horizontal single pipe) on the top surface of the frame 1. The sprinkler device 12 may be tubular, in which case holes 12 for watering are provided at predetermined intervals. The sprinkler device 12 may be integrated with the frame 11 on the top surface, or the sprinkler device 12 itself may form the frame 11 on the top surface. Further, the sprinkler device 12 may be added to the frames 11 on the left and right side surfaces. Since the high-pressure water is supplied from the high-pressure hot water supply device 4, the sprinkler device 12 does not require a complicated structure.
As will be described later, clean hot water (high temperature and high pressure water) is sprinkled from the sprinkler device 12 to remove the snow loaded on the transport vehicle located in the space surrounded by the left and right side surfaces and the top surface of the frame 1. Melt efficiently at once.

The frame body 1 can be easily assembled, disassembled and removed, and can be installed at a required place at any time without selecting a place. For example, it may be assembled and installed in November in autumn, used in winter, and dismantled and removed for recovery in April in early spring.

The water tank 2 receives the snowmelt water generated by melting the snow loaded on the transport vehicle. For example, it is a resin bucket having high-performance heat insulating performance, and is lightweight and rust-preventive. It has a maximum load capacity of 100 kg, and may be 50 cm in length × 110 cm in width × 60 cm in depth. It should be noted that a known throw-in heater or a thin heater may be provided, and some kind of heating may be performed at this point.

As the septic tank 3, a known one (for example, about 1.5 meters in height) may be used, and there is only one blower pipe, or suspended solids contained in snowmelt water are reliably filtered and separated by a carrier filtration tank. It may be in the form of
Foreign substances and garbage are mixed in the accumulated snow and its snowmelt water. For example, if a large amount of snow is piled up in a snow dump on a riverbed as in the past, after it melts naturally in early spring, it will be on the riverbed. A considerable amount of foreign matter and debris remained in the area, and if it flowed into the river, the water quality deteriorated, which was not good for the environment in many ways. Therefore, it is necessary to remove foreign substances and dust in the snowmelt water by the septic tank 3, protect the soil and water quality of the river, and continuously protect the earth by protecting the river environment.
The septic tank 3 may be connected to the water tank 2 by a predetermined pipe or the like.

As the high-pressure hot water supply device 4, a known high-pressure hot water washer may be diverted.
The high-pressure hot water supply device 4 reuses the snowmelt water purified in the septic tank 3 and supplies it as hot water to the sprinkler device 12 (including high-temperature high-pressure steam piping and the like) connected at high pressure. This makes it possible to sprinkle water from the sprinkler device 12.
The high-pressure hot water supply device 4 may be connected to the septic tank 3 by a predetermined pipe or the like.
The high-pressure hot water supply device 4 may be connected to the sprinkler device 12 by a predetermined pipe or the like.

Hereinafter, the operation of the snowmelt system 100 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
First, the transport vehicle t (typically a truck or the like equipped with a loading platform, but includes a device for transporting snow widely) is provided with, for example, a snow melting system 100 such as a company, a convenience store, or a large shopping mall. Move to a place where snow is piled up on the site. For example, snow may be collected in advance near the wall of a building.
Next, the accumulated snow is transferred to the loading platform of the transport vehicle t and stored (loaded). This may be done by human power (using a snow shovel or the like) or by using a predetermined snow removal device or the like.

Then, the transport vehicle t enters the space surrounded by the left and right side surfaces of the frame body 11 and the top surface with snow loaded from the open front side (or rear surface side) of the frame body 11. , Stop (see Fig. 2). It is sufficient that the loading platform or the like loaded with the snow of the transport vehicle t enters the space of the frame body 11, and the driver's seat or the like may be outside the space of the frame body 11.

Tap water or the like is supplied to the water tank 2 or the septic tank 3 only for the first time, and the high-pressure hot water supply device 4 heats and pressurizes the hot water using this water to connect the hot water at high pressure. It is supplied to the device 12 (including high temperature and high pressure steam piping).

Then, water is sprinkled from the sprinkler device 12, and the water is directly sprinkled on the snow loaded on the loading platform of the transport vehicle t located below the sprinkler device 12 to melt the snow. Since a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure water directly hits the snow, the snow is melted effectively and efficiently. The timing of sprinkling water from the sprinkler device 12 may be either that the water is constantly sprinkled, that the sensor detects the presence of the transport vehicle t and the sprinkler device 12 is started, or that the sprinkler device 12 is visually or manually controlled.

Since the melted snow becomes snowmelt water and accumulates as it is on the loading platform of the transport vehicle t, the snowmelt water can be easily stored by moving the snowmelt water directly to the water tank 2. After that, the snowmelt water can be reused and used when water is sprinkled from the sprinkler device 12 to melt the snow, which is economical and has a remarkable effect from an ecological point of view. The transport vehicle t in which the loaded snow is melted and the snowmelt water is moved to the water tank 2 may freely move and load the next snow.

The snowmelt water stored in the water tank 2 is moved to a septic tank 3 connected by a predetermined pipe or the like, and foreign substances and dust contained in the snowmelt water are removed to obtain clean water. By purifying with the septic tank 3 in this way, the efficiency of sprinkling snowmelt water to melt the snow is improved, pollution of conventional rivers and the like is suppressed, and finally the water is simply dumped in the drainage ditch. It is also possible to dispose of it.

Then, the high-pressure hot water supply device 4 heats and pressurizes the clean water purified in the septic tank 3 to the sprinkler device 12 (including high-temperature and high-pressure steam piping) connected to the hot water at high pressure. Supply.

Then, to repeat the above, a series of sprinkling water from the sprinkler device 12 and directly sprinkling water on the snow loaded on the loading platform of the next transport vehicle t located below the sprinkler device 12 to melt the snow. Will be formed as a circulation cycle.
For example, it may be assembled and installed in November in autumn, used in winter, and disassembled and removed for recovery in April in early spring. Then, except in winter, the site can be widely used for the original purpose.

As another modification, the water tank 2 and the septic tank 3 may be of various sizes, and a plurality of water tanks 2 and septic tanks 3 may be used depending on the amount of snow to be melted. Further, a plurality of the snowmelt system 100 itself may be installed in the same site.

According to this embodiment, even a large amount of snow accumulated on the premises of a business facility can be loaded on a large transport vehicle and melted effectively and efficiently on the premises. Moreover, since the snowmelt water is purified and can be reused, it is economical and it is possible to realize a snowmelt system that also leads to environmental protection. In addition, since it does not move on arterial roads as in the past, heavy traffic congestion due to snow removal-related vehicles is suppressed, and basically it is only movement within the installation site, so there is little movement of vehicles and fuel costs can be reduced. Will be.
Since it can be easily assembled and disassembled, for example, in the event of a disaster where a vehicle gets stuck due to heavy snowfall, by utilizing this snowmelt system 100 at the site, the transportation network will be severely disrupted, which will have a great impact on the logistics and tourism industry. It is also conceivable to take measures against.

In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention may be implemented with various changes including the number, size and shape of each component within the range not deviating from the purpose.
