[Industrial application field]

This proposal concerns snow melting equipment.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional snow processing techniques are as follows. Most of them focus on moving snow on snowy ground using snow blowers, etc. In recent years, as urban housing has become denser, there is no snow dumping site (there is no place to move the snow). ), a serious situation has progressed, and people are wondering how to get rid of the nuisance snow from their living grounds. ” technology is in demand. Against this background, various snow processing techniques and devices have been developed. melting snow This idea was introduced.

0003 1. The representative example is road heating, which heats the surface of the snowy ground itself to melt the snow. It is intended to be 2. On the other hand, in recent years, ground-mounted snow melters with built-in heat generators such as kerosene burners have been introduced. It happened. 3. In addition, conventional snow melting methods using ground water, etc., and buried snow melting tanks are also available. Ru. 4. In addition, there are underground melting systems that penetrate the soil and use electricity (snow melting power) as a heat source. There are snow machines and snow melting machines that use gas as a heat source.

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

1. Attempts to melt the snow by heating the surface of the snowy ground itself, such as road heating. Although it is very convenient that there is no need to remove snow only from the surface where it is laid, it is fateful that it will get cold. Heat loss due to fighting the cold outside temperature is inevitable, which reduces running costs. There were some difficulties. Additionally, installation work that requires covering the entire snow surface where snow treatment is desired is difficult. However, it was not possible to reduce the initial industrial costs. Furthermore, most of the examples in ordinary homes are installed only on private premises; They are almost incompetent when it comes to dealing with the pile of snow left in front of the house by snow graders. It was. On the other hand, in road surface watering and snow melting technology that uses groundwater, small There are problems with road surfaces turning red due to iron content and problems with road surfaces freezing after watering, but the main problem is that the ground surface is There is a problem of ground subsidence due to depletion of sewage water.

[0005] 2. Regarding ground-mounted snow melting machines, most of them are burners that use kerosene as the heat source. It is a quasi-direct fire method with a built-in Due to the impossibility of the idea of instantaneously melting it in a container using high temperature sensible heat, the This required a powerful burner, and there were also difficulties in terms of thermal efficiency. Furthermore, since the snow melter itself has a heat source, the body material has to be made of heat-resistant metal. Unavoidably, rust problems arose. In addition, because it is mechanical, the device is prone to breakdowns, and even a slight abnormality in the device may render it unusable. In some cases, foreign objects in the snow caused malfunctions.

[0006] 3. In buried snow melting tanks that use groundwater, etc., due to groundwater depletion mentioned earlier, Problems such as ground subsidence and inability to pump water, as well as freezing of underground water pumping equipment such as pumps during suspension of operation. Difficulties such as problems with water retention and infiltration problems due to soil quality (in peatlands, etc.) due to soil drainage from snow melting tanks. was there. Generally speaking, snow treatment technology that uses groundwater is more effective in urban areas where snow treatment is a problem. Sometimes the groundwater level is low, and the drilling costs required to pump it are too high. The technology itself is fateful, such as problems or administrative issues such as groundwater usage regulations. There are many problems involved.

[0007] 4. Buried snow melting equipment that uses electricity (snow melting power) as a heat source, or gas as a heat source Regarding snow melting equipment, these are industrially expensive due to the high cost of the heat source used for the same technology. This is a problem in these days when people are oriented towards reducing running costs and reducing costs. Until now, various snow processing technologies have been explored and developed, but society in snowy countries is still unable to process snow. Although we wanted technology, there was no technology that could make a wide contribution to snow disposal in snowy countries. It can be said that this was largely due to the problems of the prior art. After all, people in snowy countries quickly and reliably survive the harsh natural environment of winter. It can treat snow, the cost of the equipment itself is low, the running cost is low, and it is a versatile product. They are extravagantly hoping for highly sophisticated things (techniques).

Pressurized hot water from hot water boilers, etc. using a heat-resistant hose for introducing hot water with low thermal conductivity. etc., into the snow melting tank internal piping installed in the snow melting tank, and the introduced material. This snow melting is carried out through the internal piping of the snow melting tank, which is connected to a heat-resistant hose for introducing hot water into the snow melting tank. The snow melting tank is sprayed directly from a nozzle installed in the pipe inside the tank, and is opened at the top of the snow melting tank. The snow thrown in from the snow mouth is turned into sherbet, reducing the snow volume and melting it further. In order to prevent drainage problems caused by snow clogging, snowmelt water is drained from the bottom of the snowmelt tank. It also serves the purpose of maintaining a constant water level at half the depth of the snow melting tank connected to the discharge pipe. Snowmelt water, etc. can be drained into a sewage basin using a drain port and a drain hose that can be attached to and detached from the drain port. Means for draining overflow into rainwater basins, side gutters, etc., and drainage of water inside the snow melting tank after snow treatment. There is a drain plug installed at the bottom of the side of the snow melting tank for the purpose of draining, and a drain plug that can be attached and detached from the drain plug. A combination system consisting of the existing drainage hose and a means for draining water into a sewage basin, rainwater basin, side ditch, etc. It is a snow device. In this case, the snow discharging port of the snow melting tank should be blocked from cold outside air, and the temperature inside the snow melting tank should be Provide a removable transparent lid that prevents steam from escaping and allows for internal observation. I can do that.
