Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply and reliably melt snow for removal and to prevent snow from dropping especially at a place in a tunnel by sprinkling underground water toward snow, lying on the roof of an automobile slowly running on a road, through a number of water sprinkling pipes installed in spots above a road. CONSTITUTION:A number of water sprinkling pipes 2 through which underground water or spring water 5 spouting from a tunnel is injected and dropped are disposed in a position above a road 1. A number of openings 3 are formed in the under surface of the water sprinkling pipe 2, and underground water or the spring water 5 is injected and dropped through the openings 3 toward snow 6 lying on the roof of an automobile 4 slowly running therebelow to melt the snow 6. At an entrance passage to a tunnel at, for example, a snowy and cold district, the snow 6 lying on the roof of the automobile 4 is simply and reliably melted for removal. This method prevents the snow 6 from dropping on a road when the automobile 4 running in a tunnel and achieves traffic safety in the tunnel.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention injects underground water or spring water from a tunnel into the snow accumulated on the roof of a car to melt it, and at the same time absorbs the vibrations of a running car from the roof of the car. This invention relates to a method for removing snow from the roof of a car by transmitting it to the snow and sliding off the snow that has accumulated on the roof.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, snow accumulated on the roof of a car driving through a tunnel in a snowy, cold region melts and accumulates on the roof of a car at the entrance of the tunnel to prevent it from falling onto other cars and causing an unexpected accident. The vehicle then drove through the tunnel after manually removing the snow from the roof using shovels, brooms, and shovels.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the conventional technology had many problems. In other words, the snow on the roof of the car cannot be completely removed by manually removing the snow, and as the car is driven through the tunnel in this condition, the snow on the roof falls and lands on the windshield of oncoming or following cars. There was a risk that a collision would block visibility and cause an accident.

In addition, removing snow from the roof of a car by hand could result in damage to the car, and the driver and assistant had to go outside in the cold to remove the snow, which was a dangerous and painful task.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the snow can be easily removed, the car will not be damaged, the driver can drive with peace of mind, and there is no snow on the roof, so when driving in a tunnel. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for removing snow from the roof of a car, which eliminates the fear of snow falling on the vehicle and prevents accidents in tunnels.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the two objects, the present invention provides a large number of sprinkler pipes with a large number of water sprinkling holes on the lower surface above, and sprays underground water or spring water from the tunnel from the sprinkler pipes to the passageway. It is characterized by removing snow that has accumulated on the roofs of automobiles traveling on the road, and is characterized by the installation of a large number of water pipes with many water sprinkling holes on the lower surface above the uneven structure of the road. This is characterized in that underground water or spring water from a tunnel is sprayed from the sprinkler pipe to remove snow accumulated on the roofs of automobiles traveling along the passage.

3- [Effect] Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

The method for removing snow from the roof of an automobile according to the present invention includes providing a watering passageway that sprays underground water or spring water from the tunnel from above on the passageway before a car with snow on its roof enters a tunnel in winter. When a car drives slowly along this path, the snow that accumulates on the roof is melted by the thermal energy of groundwater or spring water and falls onto the road surface.

Additionally, when cars drive on uneven roads during this snow melting, the vibrations of the cars being driven are transmitted to the snow that has accumulated on the roof, making it easier for the snow that has become heavy with water to slide off. Become.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, which is used in the method for removing snow from the roof of a car according to the present invention, a large number of water pipes 2 are provided above the road surface 1 for spraying underground water or spring water coming out of a tunnel. There are many openings 3 on the underside of the water pipe, and a car 4 slowly moves downwards through these openings.
Underground water 5 or spring water 5 from a tunnel is sprayed onto the snow accumulated on the roof of the building to melt the snow 6 on the roof.

In addition, the system is equipped with a pump to pressurize underground water, spring water, and heated water.The pump is operated in conjunction with a detection device that detects cars entering the passageway. If hot water, hot spring waste water, etc. is sprayed down, water will not be wasted and it will be even more effective.

Note that a range of 300 to 500 m is sufficient for this sprayed water section.

Next, in another embodiment shown in FIG. 2, an uneven structure 7 is formed on the road surface, and by driving a car slowly on this road surface, vibrations from the car are applied to the snow accumulated on the roof of the car.
It is designed to slide off snow containing water.

In addition, for uneven road surfaces, grooves are added to the road surface.

If grating is laid on the waterway in the road surface to create an uneven structure, the problem of water treatment after spraying will be eliminated and it will be even more effective.

Furthermore, the present invention can be installed not only at tunnel entrances but also at parking lot entrances, airport tarmacs, and the like.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The method of removing snow from the roof of a car according to the present invention allows snow to be removed from the roof while the car is being driven slowly outside the tunnel, so the car is not damaged and the driver can drive with peace of mind. There is no need to worry about snow falling while driving, and it plays a major role in traffic safety by preventing accidents in tunnels.
