Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a snow remover with a safety cover for an auger case that prevents, for example, clothes from being caught in the auger.

[Prior Art] Recently, snow blowers have become widespread in general households, and pedestrians' clothes are often caught in the auger case by touching the ends of the auger side.

The cause of this accident is that the auger projects slightly downward from the lower end of the side wall of the auger and is exposed at the left and right ends of the auger, and clothes and the like are caught in the exposed portions.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

This kind of accident can be prevented by extending the lower end of the side wall of the auger case and blocking the exposed part of the auger at both ends of the auger case. When lowering and removing snow, the lower edge of the auger case hits the snow surface,
The auger makes it impossible to remove the snow on the snow surface.

Therefore, a snow blower that extends the lower edge of the auger case downward to close the exposed portion of the auger has not been proposed yet.

An object of the present invention is to provide a snow remover that is safe and does not interfere with snow removal.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An auger case 2 provided at a front portion of the traveling body 1 is provided so as to be able to move up and down with respect to a ground surface, and the auger 3 is provided in the auger case 2.
In the snow blower having the axel mounted, the lowermost arrangement position of the auger 3 is provided so as to be slightly projected from the lowermost edge of the auger case 2, and the lowermost edge of the auger case is attached to the left and right side walls 2 ′ of the auger case 2 downward. The present invention relates to a snow removing machine with a safety cover for an auger case, which is provided with a grounding body 4 that can be pulled up and down so as to be able to move up and down, and a spring 5 that constantly presses the grounding body 4 downward.

[Action]

When the auger case 2 is lowered, the lower edge of the grounding body 4 contacts the grounding surface.

In this state, the auger 3 is not yet in contact with the ground contact surface.

When the auger case 2 is further lowered, the grounding body 4 is pushed up against the spring 5 provided on the grounding body 4, and the lower edge of the auger 3 comes into contact with the grounding surface.

In this state, since the auger 3 is in contact with the ground contact surface, it does not hinder the cutting of snow on the ground contact surface.

When the auger case 2 is raised, the grounding body 4 is lowered by the restoring force of the spring 5.

Thus, the lower edge of the auger 3 is shielded by the grounding body 4, so that the lower edge of the auger 3 is not exposed even when viewed from the side.

〔Example〕

In the drawing, a slide long window 7 through which a slide pin 6 projecting from the grounding body 4 slides is formed in the lower part of the left and right side walls 2'of the auger case 2, and the grounding body 4 is projected into the slide long window 7. Insert the slide pin 6 and attach the upper end of the leaf spring as the spring 5 to the left and right side walls 2'of the auger case 2.
The case where the lower end of the leaf spring is attached to the upper edge of the grounding body 4 and the grounding body 4 is constantly pressed downward is illustrated.

The spring 5 is not limited to the leaf spring, and any kind such as a coil spring may be adopted.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 is a snow discharge tube, 9 is a snow discharge outlet, 10 is a blower, 11 is a pulley, 12 is a belt, 13 is an engine, 14 is an operation part, 15 is a crawler, 16 is an auger shaft, 17 is an auger mission, Reference numeral 18 is a mounting piece for the auger shaft 16, 19 is a regulation disk, and 20 is a mounting portion for the spring 5.

[Effect of device]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, since the lower edge of the auger is always closed by the grounding body at both ends of the auger, it is possible to prevent accidents involving a person, and the lower edge of the auger is good for the grounding surface. The snow remover with a safety cover for the auger case, which is brought into contact with the snow and does not hinder the snow removal work and has an excellent practical effect.
