First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 , the overall configuration and utilization of the apparatus for removing foreign substances from the moving path of a vehicle and snow on snowy roads according to an embodiment of the present invention may be described.

Specifically, FIG. 1 is a view for explaining the overall situation of an apparatus for removing foreign substances on a movement path of a vehicle and snow on a snowy road according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus for removing foreign substances and snow on the snowy road according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided in the vehicle V traveling in one direction, and more Although it will be described in detail, foreign substances and roads located on the movement path of the vehicle V to prevent damage to the wheels W provided in the vehicle V by operating the vehicle V even in a non-traveling state. The above accumulated snow F may be separated from the movement path of the vehicle V.

In more detail, referring to the case where the vehicle V is driven as shown in FIG. 2 , the body unit 100 that is formed to be opened toward the front on the driving path of the vehicle V is the vehicle. It is attached to the lower part of (V), and while the vehicle (V) is traveling, external air may be moved to the inside of the main body unit (100).

Here, the main body unit 100 may be provided in the front part of the vehicle V, and the foreign material located on the path of the wheel W provided in the vehicle V and the accumulated snow on the road ( It may be provided under the vehicle (V) to remove F).

That is, it may be provided in the front lower part on the movement path of the vehicle V. As shown in FIG.

To describe this configuration in more detail, as shown in FIG. 3 , the vehicle V provided with the device for removing foreign substances and snow on the snowy road according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided in the front as long as the vehicle V is provided in the front. Consists of a pair of the wheels (W) and a pair of the wheels (W) provided at the rear, and the pair of wheels (W) are connected to one rotating shaft part (B) so that they can be rotated together can

At this time, the main body unit 100 may be positioned in front of the movement path of the vehicle V relative to the rotation shaft portion B, which is the foreign material located on the movement path of the vehicle V. And it may be in order to deviate from the snow (F) accumulated on the road on the movement path.

For example, when the body unit 100 is located relatively rearward than the rotation shaft part (B), to remove the foreign material and the snow (F) accumulated on the road located in front of the wheel (W) In order for the injection unit 200 to spray air, it is covered by the wheel (W) so that the foreign material and the snow (F) on the road are not properly separated from the movement path, so the foreign material and the snow (F) on the road (F) ), since there is a fear that the removal effect may be lowered, it may be preferable to be positioned in front of the rotation shaft portion (B) when considering the path of the air sprayed by the injection unit 200 .

If the injection unit 200 is bent at least once to allow the body unit 100 to be positioned at the rear of the rotating shaft portion B, the injection unit 200 is bent and air Since the air pressure can be lowered by moving inside and generating a vortex, it may be most preferable for the main body unit 100 to be positioned in the front relative to the rotation shaft portion B as described above.

In addition, the body unit 100 may be provided in the lower part of the front on the movement path of the vehicle V, and the body unit 100 is provided with a suction unit 120 capable of sucking air from the outside, there may be

In addition, the body unit 100 may suck air into the inner space by the suction unit 120 that sucks in external air, but the main body unit ( 100) may be configured such that the injection unit 200 communicates with each other without a separate connection passage.

In addition, the inner space of the body unit 100 sucks external air through the suction unit 120 and improves the flow rate of the air sucked from the outside while rotating to increase the air pressure moving to the injection unit 200. A blowing fan 142 may be provided to improve it.

In this way, in a state in which the body unit 100 is positioned in front of the rotation shaft part B, external air is moved inward through the suction part 120, and as shown in FIG. By using air, the injection unit 200 sprays air toward the wheels W, so that the foreign substances and the snow F on the road can be separated from the movement path of the vehicle V, and more clearly For example, it can be separated from the movement path of the wheel (W).

Through this, there may be an effect of preventing the wheel W from being damaged by the foreign material and the snow F accumulated on the road.

In addition, when provided only on the front side of the vehicle (V) as described above, the foreign material and the snow (F) accumulated on the road are removed on the movement path of the pair of wheels (W) following the rear, so the rear There is no need to spray air toward may have an effect.

In addition, since the amount of fluid moving is the same even if the diameter of the fluid is narrowed, the injection unit 200 takes advantage of the phenomenon that the flow rate increases as the diameter becomes narrower. It is formed to have a narrow diameter toward the , so that it is possible to effectively increase the flow rate of the air injected toward the front of the wheel (W) from the other end.

In this way, since the air pressure is increased by increasing the flow rate of the air by changing the diameter of the injection unit 200, if the foreign material having a relatively weight on the moving path of the vehicle V and the snow (F) accumulated on the road (F) It can also work effectively to remove

In particular, the injection unit 200 is located on the movement path of the wheel W rather than removing all the foreign substances located on the movement path of the vehicle V and the accumulated snow F on the road. The other end of the injection unit 200 is located in front of the vehicle V because removing the foreign material and snow F on the road prevents damage to the wheel W and effectively prevents an accident. It may be formed to inject air toward the front of the provided pair of wheels (W).

Based on the above configuration, the vehicle V sucks in external air through the suction unit 120, and the air whose flow speed is increased by the blower fan 142 is moved to the injection unit 200, Since the injection unit 200 has a narrow diameter from one end to the other end, it is possible to inject air toward the front of the wheel W at a high flow rate, and thus the movement path of the wheel W more effectively. It is possible to remove the foreign material and the snow (F) accumulated on the road.

Here, the suction unit 120 increases the flow rate of the air injected through the injection unit 200 by always operating the vehicle V in a stopped state or in a driving state, or the vehicle V is in a driving state. It may be operated to suck in relatively more external air than in the stopped state so that the air injected through the injection unit 200 may be continuously injected.

In addition, the suction unit 120 is positioned on the movement path of the vehicle (V) by grasping the foreign substances located on the movement path of the vehicle (V), the accumulated snow (F) on the road, and the state of the road. The flow rate of the air injected through the injection unit 200 can be constantly adjusted so that the foreign substances and snow F accumulated on the road can be separated from the movement path.

To this end, the suction unit 120 may be provided with a flow rate sensor, and when the flow rate of the air sucked by the suction unit 120 is detected to be less than a preset value, the amount of external air intake is improved to improve the injection unit The flow rate of the air injected through 200 is variable, and it is possible to prevent the foreign substances and the accumulated snow F on the road from remaining on the movement path of the vehicle V.

In addition, since the injection unit 200 has to inject air toward the front of the wheel W, it may be inclined toward the front of the wheel W by a predetermined angle, and the injection unit 200 has an internal In order to prevent a vortex from being generated, only the diameter is varied from one end to the other end and may form a one-way path.

In addition, in order to prevent a state in which the flow rate of air is not smooth even when the suction unit 120 is operated, the flow rate of the air injected through the injection unit 200 together with the suction unit 120 is constantly maintained. A blowing fan 142 operated by a separate motor may be provided.

Here, the blower fan 142 may be provided inside the suction unit 120 to improve the flow rate of the air sucked into the suction unit 120 to move it into the inner space, and based on the improved air flow rate, The air pressure injected through the injection unit 200 may be improved.

Meanwhile, the body unit 100 may further include a sensing unit 180 for sensing the movement path of the vehicle V, and the sensing unit 180 includes the vehicle V when driving on a rain road. The heater unit H and the sensing unit 180 to prevent the frictional force from lowering by forming a water film on the wheel W while evaporating the moisture of the rain road to prevent sliding by rainwater on this moving path. When it is determined that the snow is piled up, a snow removal unit S provided with the snow removal agent may be included to distribute the snow removal agent.

Here, the sensing unit 180 may sense and determine a road condition on a path on which the vehicle V moves or a path on which the wheel W moves, and is determined as a general road condition or the foreign matter F When it is detected, the flow rate of the air injected from the injection unit 200 may be improved by controlling the suction unit 120 and the blowing fan 142 .

If it is determined that the path on which the vehicle V moves is wet, the heater unit H is controlled to increase the temperature of the air sprayed to the injection unit 200 to evaporate a certain amount of moisture on the wet road, or By forming a water film on the wheels W due to the sprayed air, it is possible to prevent the vehicle V from sliding on a rain or wet road.

In addition, when it is determined that the snow is accumulated on the path of the vehicle V, air is sprayed through the injection unit 200 to remove the accumulated snow on the road, or the vehicle V is in a state of freezing or accumulating snow. Since (V) can slide, sand grains that can increase the friction force between the wheel (W) and the road toward the moving path of the vehicle (V) are sprayed or a snow remover is applied to the spray unit 200 to allow the snow to melt quickly. ) can be provided towards

In addition, in order to prevent slipping on the snowy road in such a situation and prevent a situation in which the snow accumulates on the wheels W and causes slippage, while supplying the snow removal agent through the snow removal unit S, the heating unit H ) simultaneously to prevent snow from accumulating on the wheel (W).

As described above, the apparatus for removing foreign substances from the moving path of the vehicle and snow on the snowy road according to an embodiment of the present invention senses the state of the road through the sensing unit 180 to operate the heater unit H or remove the snow. The unit S may be operated, but the flow rate of the air injected through the injection unit 200 through the suction unit 120 and the blowing fan 142 may be adjusted, and the injection unit 200 may be operated. The suction unit 120 and the blower fan 142 are controlled so that the flow rate of the air injected through the air is kept constant, and the suction unit 120 is configured so that the flow rate of the air injected from the injection unit 200 is constant. A flow rate sensor is provided to control the amount of suction, so that the vehicle (V) can prevent an unexpected accident caused by the damage to the wheel (W) by the foreign material (F).
