Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for melting the frozen road and snow on the road by vehicle engine heat is provided to resolve the trouble to driving on a frozen road in winter time, thereby smoothing the traffic flow and helping the safe driving of a vehicle. CONSTITUTION: A method for melting the frozen road and snow on the road by vehicle engine heat includes an indoor blowing switch, a blast pipe(10) for supplying heat generated from a radiator and a heater(6) to outside a lower part of a vehicle, and a wind direction converting valve(12) for changing the direction of the heater inwardly or outwardly.

Description

Device freezing and snow melting using vehicle engine heat {Device or Method to Melt using the heat from the running cars}

The present invention is a method of melting the ice or accumulated snow on the road in winter using the engine heat of the vehicle, more specifically, the vehicle outside air (heater) method using the engine heat currently used in all models of the vehicle outside (lower) Will be converted to).

In general, all models are equipped with a warm air (heater) system for heating in the vehicle cabin in winter, as shown in FIG. This warm air (heater) system uses the heat of the engine to obtain the heating effect in the cabin. By applying this method, the warm air (heater) is discharged toward the ground to melt the ice on the road in winter or accumulated snow.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the cost required for the deicing and snow removal of the road in winter, and to reduce the damage to life and property such as traffic accidents caused by smooth traffic and slippery road surface. In order to melt the ice on the road or accumulated snow, a method of separating and switching the warm air (heater) like the present invention to the outside (lower), a simultaneous warm air (heater) method inside and outside the vehicle, and direct heating the engine heat to the ground without passing through a radiator and a heater. (Heater) and the like, but all three methods have in common that the engine heat must be used.

According to the present invention, the indoor blower switch 16, the blower tube 10, the wind direction switching valve 12, etc. for switching the hot air to the outside (lower) of the vehicle is added to the indoor hot air (heater) method currently used in all models. If it is used, the effect of ice making and snow removal can be obtained.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a vehicle in which a road icing and snow melting system using an engine heat according to the present invention is coupled, and includes a blower tube 10, a wind direction switching valve 12, a hot air outlet 14, and a blower switch 16. You can install or change it.

The blower tube 10 is a passage for transmitting heat obtained through the radiator 4 and the heater 6 to the outside of the vehicle (lower part). The thickness, length, material, etc. may vary depending on the vehicle type. This can be done in right or horizontal format. The hot air outlet 14 may face the ground at the rear rear wheel position of the blower tube 10 at the left and right sides of the blower tube 10, and the horizontal type of air blower 14 may warm the air evenly toward the ground at the inside of the bumper at the rear of the vehicle. The wind direction switching valve 12 is an opening and closing device for switching the warm air (heater) direction of the vehicle to the inside and the outside, and the existing indoor hot air (heater) type by car type may be applied. The blower switch 16 is installed at the front of the vehicle, and may be added or changed according to an existing type for each vehicle type so that the driver can easily operate the vehicle.

As described above, according to the present invention, by applying the hot air (heater) method for converting the external (lower) to the existing hot air (heater) system in the vehicle cabin, the traffic accidents caused by freezing and snow accumulated in winter, It is possible to solve the energy waste caused by the waste of energy and the budget for manpower and equipment input due to snow removal, and because it uses the heat of the engine, there is no extra energy cost, and it is a harmless warm air (heater), which may pollute the air. There is no. On the other hand, roads with heavy snow and freezing are more effective because the warm air (heater) is sprayed in one place because the vehicles are slow and slow.

Claims (1)

Combined application of warm air (heater) method for converting the exterior of the vehicle (lower) to the warm air (heater) system inside the vehicle, to freeze or freeze snow on the road in winter. .
