Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention belongs to the field of snow melting, and relates to a snow melting machine that uses hot air and snow melting water produced by the hot air.

(Prior art) Traditionally, public methods of snow disposal during the winter include transporting and removing snow using snow plows or snow ditches, and melting snow using snow melting water, but these methods require equipment costs,
The maintenance costs are so high that ordinary households are not able to deal with snow accumulation. Households, shopping districts, and residential areas in urban areas without snow dumping sites are at a loss when it comes to snow removal, and in areas with heavy snowfall, there is a need for a simple means of melting snow itself that does not require the transportation of snow removal.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention attempts to provide a snow melting machine that can dispose of snow even in places where there is no snow disposal area.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, this invention has a snow melting container and a heater with a hot air passage connected to the container mounted on a trolley, and the upper part of the snow melting container has a surrounding wall surface. A hopper with the required through holes is mounted on the tower, and comb-like rollers are interlocked and opposed to each other at the bottom of the hopper.
In the center of the hopper along the axis of the roller, an umbrella-shaped partition plate with the required through holes in the peripheral wall is installed, and in the intermediate snow melting area, multiple mesh screens are installed. A damper is attached to the drain port at the bottom of the snow melting part so that it can be opened and closed, a water storage tank is provided at the bottom opposite the drain port, the suction side of the water supply pump is connected to the water storage tank, and the discharge side is connected to the hopper. It is connected to the shower head on the top.

(Function) According to the above configuration, the snow in the hopper is melted while being hollowed out by the hot air blown out from the peripheral wall surface of the partition plate and the peripheral wall surface of the hopper, and the shower melts the snow thrown into the hopper. Collapse the cavity to increase its volumetric efficiency.

(Example) To specifically explain this invention with an example,
As shown in FIG. 1, a snow melting container 1 and a heater 2 with a hot air passage connected to the container 1 are mounted on a trolley 3, and the upper part of the snow melting container 1 is provided with the required amount of space on the surrounding wall as shown in FIG. A hopper 5 equipped with a through hole 4 is mounted on the tower,
A comb blade-shaped roller 6 is disposed in engagement with the lower bottom of the hopper 5, and an umbrella-shaped through hole 7 is provided in the peripheral wall surface at the center of the hopper 5 along the axis of the roller 6.
A middle partition plate 8 with The damper 11 is locked so that it can be opened and closed,
A water storage tank 12 is provided at the bottom facing the drain port 10, and the suction side of the water supply pump 13 is connected to the water storage tank 12.
The discharge side is connected to the shower head 14, the drain pipe 15 is connected to the upper edge of the water storage tank 12, the drain plug 16 is locked to the bottom bottom, and the fuel tank 17 is connected to the bottom of the heater 2. A handle 18 for pushing by hand is integrated into the rear of the trolley 3.

The snow melting machine constructed in this manner can melt snow flakes compacted by road snowplows or the like, or snow piled up without a place to dispose of it, with light labor and at home. That is, the snowpack thrown into the hopper 5 with a scoop is blown by hot air from the heater 2 through the through holes 4 and 7 in the peripheral wall surface of the hopper 5 and the wall surface of the partition plate 8 with a wide heat dissipation area. Further, the rotation directions of the biting portions of the opposing rollers 6 are both rotated upward as shown by the arrows to guide a portion of the hot air into the interior of the partition plate 8. Furthermore, the snowmelt water caused by the hot air flows down from the drain 10 to the water storage tank 12 through the screen 9 and damper 11 that prevent the hot air from falling toward the drain 10 and guide it upward, and then flows from the shower head 14 to the hopper 5 by the water supply pump 13. Water is sprinkled. At this time, the snowpack inside the hopper 5 melts due to the hot air around the partition plate 8 and the upward rotation of the roller 6, and some of the snowpack becomes hollow, but the water sprinkles turn it into shearbet and the hollow collapses, causing the hopper 5 to melt.
It is possible to process snow melting by increasing volumetric efficiency.
The water storage tank 12 can be taken out through a hinged door 19 at the bottom of the snow melting container 1, and the screen 9 can also be cleaned through a door 20 at the center of the container 1. The shower head 14 is rotatable so as not to hinder the introduction of snow into the hopper.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, this invention has the characteristics that the volumetric efficiency of the hopper is increased and the heat dissipation area is widened so that the snow melting process can be carried out with high heat efficiency, and the process can be carried out at home with light labor.
