It is a snow removal device and spreading system that allow for the rapid application of snow removal throughout the road even when it snows over a wide area.

The currently used snow removing method uses a special snow-driving vehicle, and a snow-driving special-purpose vehicle runs on a snow-covered road in a region where freezing occurs or there is a possibility of freezing. Doing. However, due to the limited number of snowplow special-purpose vehicles and the snow-plow capacity of each snowplow-spread vehicle, if the snowfall falls in winter or the nationwide cold weather swells, the freezing section is so extensive that the snowplow-spray vehicle It was almost impossible to use snow removal. Nevertheless, the expansion of the number of specially designed snowplow-only vehicles had four seasons, which made it unsuitable for climatic conditions in countries with relatively short winter seasons.

In addition, although snow removal is more efficient in terms of snow removal, it often misses the appropriate time of snow removal, for example, even on roads of the same area. In the case of spraying snowplow on the road, even a small amount can be effective, but in the case of spraying snowplow on the frozen road, it is necessary to apply much more amount in terms of economy and efficiency. Timely spraying of snow remover is a very important issue.

The present invention attaches a snow removing device to an individual general vehicle running on a road, and a snow removing device and a snow removing system capable of directly spraying a snow removing agent by a general vehicle operating on a frozen road or a road concerned about freezing.
