Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of an embedded type snow melting apparatus in which a snow melting chamber is buried in the ground such as in a garden or in front of a garage, and snow removed from the snow is melted and discharged.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a method of removing snow accumulated on a yard or a road surface by using a snow remover to move it forward or sideways. As a result, there has been a problem in the processing of snow after that, so it has become possible to see how to remove snow by melting snow and discharging it into sewage using a ground-moving snow melting machine. . However, when removing snow with a ground-moving type snow melting machine, it is necessary to lift the snow-removed snow up to the snow-melting tank and put it in, which requires a great deal of labor.
If the snow thrown in the snow melting tank is not melted rapidly, it will not be possible to throw the snow until it melts, and moreover, the fuel cost will be high unless the snow is efficiently melted and treated using a burner, resulting in high cost. It is a method of removing snow.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention, in order to solve the problems of a conventionally known ground-moving type snow melting machine, has a snow melting device buried underground and a lid provided on the ground. By opening the, it is possible to immediately throw snow, melt snow, blow warm air, and exhaust warm air.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The object and structure of the present invention are as described above, and the structure of the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings will be described. FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of an embedded snow melting device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the same, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of a state in which a lid is also removed.

The snow melting apparatus of the present invention is dug up at an appropriate place in the site, and is buried with the opening above the main body frame 4 left open. A heat insulating material 25 is attached to the outer surface of the main body frame 4 to keep it warm. The effect is enhanced. One lid 5 is pivotally connected to one side of the opening via a hinge 24.
In the closed state, the snow melting device can walk freely so that the snow melting device does not get in the way. The lid 5 is adapted to be easily opened and closed by a damper 27.
23 is a handle. The snow melting cylinder A and the operation box 22 for the submersible pump are attached to the back surface of the lid 5.

The inside of the main body frame 4 is divided into left and right sides by a partition plate 3, and a machine frame 6 is internally provided with a snow melting chamber 1 on one side, and a snow melting cylinder A is installed in the machine frame 6. The snow melting cylinder A is a burner 26
To project air into a duct 30 formed by being separated by a side plate 29 so that air can be taken in, and the hot air emitted from the burner 26 is blown out from the blowout holes 31a, 31a ... It is blown up and the snow melting room 1
I try to melt the snow thrown inside. The water after being melted is discharged from the drain 7 opened on the bottom surface of the machine frame 6, but the bottom surface of the machine frame 6 has a lower burner side so that the temperature of the hot water discharged from the drain 7 is slightly reduced. I am trying to raise it. Then, the first pump chamber 8 is formed by digging deeper into one corner of the main body frame 4, and the melted snow is stored in the snow melting chamber 1. The drain 7 is covered with a net or the like to remove dust and the like.

An automatic submersible pump 9 which is automatically operated when a certain amount of water is accumulated in the first pump chamber 8 is arranged. A pipe 10 is connected to a discharge port of the submersible pump 9. Shower pipes 11 and 12 are connected to the other end of the pipe 10.

The shower pipe 11 is a shower pipe 12.
The pipe diameter is smaller, so that only a small amount is discharged and only about 25% of the whole is discharged, and the pipe is piped along the wall surface of the snow melting chamber 1 in the upper periphery, that is, in the upper position of the snow melting cylinder A. In order to prevent the snow thrown into the snow melting chamber 1 from adhering to the side plate (wall surface) and falling, the pipes 11 are sequentially melted and lowered to smoothly drop onto the snow melting cylinder A. In this manner, the hot air from the blowout holes 31a, 31a ... Opened in the upper plate 31 of the snow melting cylinder A is used to further melt the snow.

Since the shower pipe 12 has a large pipe diameter, it can discharge a large amount of hot water. The shower pipe 12 is piped around the shower snow melting chamber 2 on the other side, which is partitioned by the partition plate 3, and inside the shower snow melting chamber 2. It is ejected to melt the snow that has been thrown into. A drain 13 is also provided on the lower surface of the shower snow melting chamber 2, and a second pump chamber 14 is provided below one corner of the lower surface.

An automatic submersible pump 15 similar to the above is also arranged in the second pump chamber 14, a pipe 16 is connected to a discharge port of the submersible pump 15, and a shower pipe 18 is connected to a midway portion of the pipe 16. However, the snow in the center of the shower snow melting chamber 2 is melted. Then, the end of the pipe 16 comes out of the main body frame 4 and faces the inside of the sewer groove 20 so that the snowmelt water is discharged.

[0012]

In such a structure, the removed snow can be thrown into the snow melting room as it is by opening the lid 5 without lifting the snow, and the snow thrown into the snow melting room 1 is melted by the snow melting cylinder A. And falls to the bottom of the machine frame 6. The bottom of the machine frame 6 is slightly lowered on the burner side, so it is warmed while being stored there, and hot water of about 25 degrees is drained.
It is further drained and stored in the first pump chamber 8.

When the warm water in the first pump chamber 8 is accumulated in a certain amount or more, the submersible pump 9 operates to reach the shower pipes 11 and 12 through the pipe 10, and the discharge amount from the shower pipe 11 is small because the pipe diameter is small. Therefore, about 25% of the total amount of the snowmelt water is discharged near the side plate of the snowmelt chamber 1, and the snow is smoothly dropped downward to reach the snowmelt cylinder A.

Most of the hot water is discharged from the shower pipe 12 toward the center of the shower snow melting chamber 2 from above.
The snow in the shower snow melting chamber 2 is melted. The water that has melted enters the second pump chamber 14 from the drain 13,
Submersible pump 1 when a certain amount or more is accumulated in the second pump chamber 14.
5 operates, and a part from the pipe 16 is in the shower snow melting room 2
It is discharged from a shower pipe 18 that is piped in the middle part of the inside to melt the snow adhering to the side surfaces and drop the snow in the shower snow melting chamber 2 downward, and the other drainage is drained to the sewer 20.
Is discharged to. The temperature of the water discharged here is about 5 degrees, but unlike the case of discharging it on the road surface, there is no problem because it flows directly to the sewer.

[0015]

With the above-mentioned structure, the present invention can obtain the following effects. First, since the lid 5 for opening and closing the suction opening of the duct 30, the snow throwing opening of the snow melting chamber 1, and the opening of the blowout hole 31a from the snow melting cylinder A by one is provided. By opening the body 5, all the openings required for snow melting are opened, so that the work of opening other lids can be omitted and the snow melting work can be started immediately. Further, since only one lid needs to be locked in the open state, the structure for keeping the lid body in the open state is also simple.

Secondly, since the lid 5 is arranged at substantially the same height as the buried ground and the snow melting chamber is buried in the ground, the height of the opening is close to the height of the ground and the snow is removed. It became easier to throw in the snow, and it became possible to throw in a large amount of snow.

Thirdly, when the lid body 5 is closed during the non-use period, only the lid body 5 is exposed to the ground surface, and therefore, when walking on this or when passing a vehicle. Also, it is possible to construct a safe ground surface with less stumbling and catching.

Fourthly, since the snowmelter is housed in the snowmelting room provided in the basement, it is possible to shorten the time required for preparation for snow removal work and cleanup, and it is not necessary to secure a storage space for the snowmelter.
Also, the snow melting room itself does not get in the way.
