Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a safety device for snow removers, particularly small snow removers.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, snow blowers have become popular in ordinary households, but accidents are also occurring frequently.

A relatively common accident is one in which a pedestrian's clothing comes into contact with the auger side end and the pedestrian is caught in the auger case.

The reason for this is that the auger protrudes far beyond the front edge of the side wall plate of the auger case so that the direction of the snow blower can be easily changed, and pedestrians' clothing is likely to come into contact with the protruding part of the auger.

Further, when the snow removal tube is clogged with snow, when the operator goes to the side of the auger case to remove the snow, there are cases where the operator's clothes come into contact with the protrusion of the auger and get caught in the snow.

A solution to this problem is to make the side wall plate of the auger case protrude greatly to cover the auger protrusion, but if the side wall plate protrudes too much, the side wall plate will hit the snow wall when changing the direction of the snow blower. It was impossible to make the side wall panels protrude, as they got in the way and made it impossible to change direction smoothly.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The present invention solves this drawback by providing a cover plate on both side wall plates of the auger case, and when a pedestrian passes by, the cover plate covers the auger side end protruding from the front edge of the side wall plate of the auger case. to prevent pedestrians and the operator's clothing from coming into contact with the auger side end, and when changing the direction of the snow blower, slide the cover plate backward so that it does not get in the way. It is a technical challenge to provide a safety device for a snow blower that can.

[Means to solve the problem]

The gist of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An auger case 2 with an auger 1 inside, a blower case 3 with snow removal blades connected to the rear of the auger case 2, a snow removal tube 4 connected to the top of the blower case 3, and a snow removal tube. In a snow blower in which a snow removing device a consisting of a snow throwing cover 5 provided at
On both side wall plates 2a, a cover plate 6 is provided which protrudes from the front edge 2b of the both side wall plates 2a and covers the side end of the auger 1, and the upper part of this cover plate 6 is pivoted to the both side wall plates 2a. is provided so as to be able to protrude and retreat from the front edge 2b of both side wall plates 2a of the auger case 2, and this cover plate 6
A snow removal device characterized in that an operating mechanism c for moving the covering plate 6 to protrude and retreat relative to the leading edge 2b is provided, and an operating mechanism d for operating the operating mechanism c is provided in the operating section 7 of the traveling body b. This relates to the safety equipment of the aircraft.

[Effect]

FIG. 1 shows a case where both ends of the auger 1 are covered by the covering plates 6, and snow removal work is performed in this state.

Next, in the operating section 7, when the operating mechanism d is operated to activate the operating mechanism c, the cover plates 6 on one or both sides slide rearward as shown in FIG. 2, and both ends of the auger 1 are exposed. In this state, change the direction of the snow blower.

When performing snow removal work again, operate the operating mechanism d to activate the operating mechanism c and slide the covering plates 6 on both sides forward to cover both ends of the auger 1. Since the portion is covered by the cover plate 6, the clothes of the traveler will not come into contact with the auger 1, and an accident caused by getting caught in the auger 1 can be prevented.

〔Example〕

Although a case is shown in which the wire 8 of the actuation mechanism c is used to pull the robot, a hydraulic cylinder or the like may also be used. The operating mechanism d in the drawing employs a lever 9, and the wire 8 is pulled by pushing it down.

Although the cover plates 6 on both sides are illustrated as being actuated at the same time, they may be actuated one at a time in accordance with the passage of pedestrians.

The running body b has an engine 11 mounted on a machine base 10, and a crawler 12 is used for the undercarriage.

In the figure, 13 is a guide roller.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the protruding part of the auger 1 is covered by the covering plate 6 during snow removal work, so the clothes of pedestrians do not come into contact with the auger 1, and therefore, the clothes of pedestrians are prevented from getting caught. Accidents can be prevented.

When changing direction, operate the operating mechanism d to slide the cover plate 6 backward via the actuator mechanism c so that the cover plate 6 does not get in the way, so you can turn right.
You can also make left turns smoothly.

Since the operation of the cover plate 6 is performed from the operation section 7 of the machine, it is not troublesome at all, and has excellent practical effects such as not reducing work efficiency.
