At this time, the electronic scale 142 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the main body 110 to measure the load of the snow removing agent M. As the electronic scale 142, for example, a load cell may be used.

When the electronic scale 142 is used to analyze the residual amount of the snow remover M, the height of the snow remover M is measured using other optical sensors or the like, and compared with the case of estimating the remaining amount of the snow remover M, The residual amount of the snow remover (M) can be measured without error.

The control unit 150 calculates the remaining amount of the snow remover M according to the load of the snow remover M provided in the electronic balance 142. [ That is, since the larger the load is, the larger the remaining amount is, the remaining amount of the snow remover M is calculated step by step in proportion to the load.

The remaining amount of the light emitting units 141 and 143 is provided on the outer surface of the front plate of the main body 110 of the snow removing compartment and includes at least one LED to detect the amount of the snow remover M calculated by the controller 150, The LED is flickered according to the load of the blackening agent M to display the remaining amount of the blackening agent M on the outside.

For example, a light emitting portion 141 such as an LED bar is provided along the height direction of the front plate of the main body 110, and a plurality of LEDs are installed on the LED bar so as to be spaced apart from each other along the height direction.

Accordingly, the control unit 150 can emit any one of a plurality of LEDs spaced apart in the height direction according to the value of the load (that is, the remaining amount of the snow remover) provided in the electronic scale 142, Let's do it.

Of course, it is possible to display one or a plurality of LEDs mounted on the LED bar in different colors according to the remaining amount of the removers M by using a configuration (use of R / G / B LEDs, etc.) It is possible.

A warning light emitting portion 143 is provided on the inner side of the main body 110 of the snow remover 110. The warning light emitting portion 143 preferably uses a colored LED such as a red LED, ) Is used to emit light of a different color.

Further, the present invention can be applied to a snowmelt area or a hill road in a local environment where the snowmelt (M) is used in a large amount, or in a snowmelt area, M) can be replenished so that the complete consumption of the snow remover M can be prevented in advance.

4, the present invention further includes a timer 151, a learning unit 152, a rain sensor 153, and a reference value memory 154 in addition to the above-described control unit 150, And the replenishment cycle of the snow remover (M) by weather.

The timer 151 measures the flow of time, and the electronic timer 151 provides the current time to the learning unit 152. The learning unit 152 calculates the time of the time provided in the timer 151 and the electronic balance The use amount of the snow removing agent M is calculated by the time lapse using the load value of the snow removing agent M provided in the shower head 142.

That is, the learning unit 152 receives a value of '? T', which is an elapsed value of time, from the current time provided from the timer 151 in real time, and obtains a value? W And learns the reduction rate of the snow removing agent M every unit time (or whenever the amount of the snow removing agent changes).

In addition, the rainfall sensor 153 senses whether the snow falls or not, and provides the detected rainfall to the control unit 150. The rainfall sensor 153 itself can use various types of known sensors. It is preferable that the rainfall sensor 153 measures rainfall and other rainfall amounts, and it is installed in the lid 120 of the snow removal box for accurate measurement.

The reference value memory 154 stores a plurality of reference values of the remaining amount of the snow remover M for issuing an alarm. The plurality of reference values have different sizes (e.g., 5 kg / 4 kg / 3 kg / 2 kg / 1 kg) and are recorded in a data format that can be read by the control unit 150.

The control unit 150 selects a relatively large one among a plurality of reference values recorded in the reference value memory 154 when the amount of usage provided by the learning unit 152 is large and the snow falls by the rainfall sensor 153 (Particularly, the warning light emitting portions) 141 and 143 when the remaining amount of the snow remover M is less than the selected reference value.

Therefore, in the case where the snow removing agent M is used more quickly and more than in other areas in the shaded area or the hill road, the above-described learning unit 152 can reduce the consumption of the snow removing agent (M) (M) can be supplemented more quickly.

In addition, due to lack of snow removers (M) due to rainfall, such as Gangwon-do, due to rainfall sensor 153, Thereby minimizing the inconvenience that the user feels.
