United States Patent 3,228,125 AIRPORT AND HIGHWAY CLEANING MAKIHINES Henry J. Wiehe, Cincinnati, ()hio, assignor to General Aeromation, Inc., Cincinnati, Ghio, a corporation of Ohio Filed J an. 4, 1963, Ser. No. 249,449 Claims. (CI. 37-12) This invention relates to an improved method and machine for removing snow, slush, loose ice and water from airport runways or highways.
Airports with extensive runways have great difficulty in winter in clearing the runways in a resonable time after adverse weather conditions have caused the runways to become unsuitable for the landing or take-off of planes. At times it is necessary to close down the airport due to lack of proper equipment to remove snow, slush, loose ice or water. My improved machine is capable of clearing a wide path at high speed, thus greatly decreasing the shut down time at any given runway.
This invention provides a pair of jet engines mounted on the forward end of a suitable truck, with the jet engines adjustable to provide over-lapping transverse blasts to clean the runway or highway of snow, slush, loose ice or water. The jet engines can be adjusted for height or angularity to suit the particular conditions of the surface to be cleaned. This arrangement eliminates the thrust of the jet engines from retarding the forward movement of the truck.
By pairing up the jet engines so that they essentially blast in opposite directions allows full thrust to be applied forward of the truck and at right angles to its path without veering the truck off its course. This arrangement, by eliminating the rearward thrust of the jet engines and the overcoming by the truck of such rearward thrust, allows the full power of the jet engines to be used most efiectively in clearing the runway or highway, while at the same time allowing the truck to use its full power in propelling the machine forward at high speed.
A further object is to provide a truck with forward arms supporting jet engines which are adjustable on the arms to create a transverse blast relative to the forward movement of the truck.
A further object is to provide means to tilt the jet engines to direct the blast in the desired vertical direction.
A further object is to provide a vehicle with jet engines which blast the material completely out of the path of the vehicle, requiring no rehandling of the blasted material.
A further object is to eliminate the thrust of the jet engines from retarding the forward movement of the truck.
A further object is to provide means for adjusting the position of the jet engines to aid in the forward movement of the truck.
My invention will be further readily understood from the following description and claims, and from the drawings, in which latter:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of my improved machine.
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the same.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the same.
FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of one of the cylinders and control valve.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged detail section, taken in the plane of the line 55 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged detail section, taken in the plane of the line 6-6 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 7 is a schematic view of the hydraulic system for controlling the movement and positioning of the jet engines.
3,228,125 Patented Jan. 11, 1966 FIG. 8 is an enlarged detail section similar to FIG. 5 of a modification of the invention, taken in the plane of the line 8-8 of FIG. 9.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged detail section of the modification, taken in the plane of the line 99 of FIG. 8.
My improved machine comprises a truck 11 of standard design with a fuel tank 12 mounted on the body to supply fuel to the jet engines 13 and 14. A supporting structure 15 is secured to the frame 16 of the truck as at 17 and has an arm 18 extending forward over the cab 19 of the truck. A transverse arm 20 extends across the forward end of the truck and has arms 21 secured to the forward end of the truck frame 16. The ends of the transverse arms 20 extend forward as at 22 and have vertical sleeves 23 welded of the ends of the arms. Castings 24 and 25' are rotatable in the sleeves 23 and are provided with upper flanges 26 and held in position by nuts 27. A pair of hydraulic cylinders 28 and 29 are held in the casting 24 and hydraulic cylinders 30 and 31 are held in the casting 25 by clamps 32. Non-rotative sliding members 33 are slidable in the castings 24 and 25 and have rocker arms 34 pivoted thereto as at 35. The cylinders 28, 29, 3t} and 31 have pistons 36 and connecting rods 37 pivoted to the rocker arms 34 as at 38. Bands 39 encircle the jet engines 13 and 14 and are secured to the rocker arms 34 for supporting the jet engines. The flanges 26 on the castings 24 and 25 have extensions 40 to which connecting rods 41 are pivoted as at 42. The connecting rods 41 connect to pistons in the cylinders 43 and 44. The cylinders 43 and 44 are held in brackets 45 welded to the forward arms 22.
Control valves which are all alike, one for each of the cylinders 28, 29, 3t 31, 43 and 44 are located in the cab of the truck. One of these valves is shown in FIG. 4. The valves comprise a housing 46 to which a control handle 47 is linked to operate the sliding valve 48. The hydraulic system consists of .a reservoir 49, a pump 50, an accumulator 51 having a line 52 extending therefrom to supply fluid under pressure to the valves. A line 53 connects from the reservoir 49 to each end of the valve housings. Lines 54 and 55 extend from the valve housings to each end of each cylinder to provide pressure on each side of the pistons.
The jet engines can be raised or lowered or angularly adjusted by operation of the respective valves controlling the pistons in the cylinders 28 and 29, or 36 and 31. The movement of the pistons in these cylinders will cause the rocker arm to be adjusted angularly or to raise or lower as the non-rotatable member 33 slides up or down in the castings 24 or 25. The valves controlling the pistons in cylinders 43 and 44 are operable to cause the castings 24 or 25 to rotate in the sleeves 23 to turn the jet engines in a horizontal plane from a direct transverse position relative to the truck, to a position whereby the jet engines will blast in a somewhat angular rearward direction to aid in the forward propulsion of the truck.
This structure provides a method of clearing a wide path either on a runway or roadway by blasting the snow, ice, slush or water in divergent paths transverse of the movement of the vehicle without impairing the movement of the vehicle. The strong blast of the jet engines permits the vehicle to move at a rapid speed for thoroughly cleaning the surface over which it passes.
The jet engines are mounted in offset relation to each other with the rear of each jet engine facing each other to blast in an over-lapping action to remove the material from the runway or roadway and diverting the material sidewise away from the path of the vehicle. In order to prevent the jet engines from drawing in debris, battles may be provided on the intake end of the jet engines to draw air from above the engines.
In the modification shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the nonrotating sliding members 133 instead of being connected to rocker arms terminate in yokes 134 and are pivoted as at 135 to bands 136 clamped around the jet engines 13 and 14 The pistons 28, 29, 30 and 31 have connecting rods 137 terminating in yokes 138. These yokes are pivoted to the bands 136 as at 139. This arrangement permits all stresses to be centered on the center line of the jet engines and the yokes 134 and relieves all tension on the yokes 138.
