Description

A COMPLEX-TYPE SNOW REMOVAL VEHICLE}

The present invention implements a complex snow removal process comprising a transport means mounted to the vehicle, and a receiving tank and a removal means mounted in association with the vehicle, by sucking and collecting snow laminated on the road and melting the road secondarily. The present invention relates to a hybrid snow removal vehicle that can prevent snow freezing by removing snow or ice remaining on a surface and preventing road freezing by drying the road surface.

In general, road surfaces such as roads in which snow has been stacked in winter have caused many inconveniences and accidents due to the risk of accidents. In addition, when the snow melts on the road surface and the temperature decreases again due to the heat accumulated in the vehicle or the heat of friction in the vehicle's tires and the frictional heat caused by the weather, or the change of the weather. Again, the ice on the road surface forms ice sheets, increasing the risk of traffic accidents, resulting in numerous casualties and huge property losses.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, conventional snow removal equipment or snow removal vehicles having various structures and functions have been proposed. In other words, snow or ice on the surface of the road sprayed with calcium chloride or sand, or by pushing the snow to the snow plow will work to drive the vehicle.

For example, a conventional snow removal vehicle is provided with a loading space for loading a large amount of sand and calcium chloride and a snow shovel, and the snow removal shovel of the snow removal vehicle removes snow accumulated on the road surface in the direction of the snow removal vehicle. Since it is located in front of the snow removal vehicle so that the width direction of the shovel is obliquely attached to the traveling direction, the snow removal work is performed as if the snow removal vehicle pushes the snow in the lateral direction of the road while driving the snow covered road surface. In addition, sand and calcium chloride loaded on snowplows are scattered on snow-covered roads by accompanying snow-driving workers to provide traction to the road or to melt snow and ice on the roads so that the operation of vehicles passing through the roads can be easily communicated. Play a role.

However, snowplows equipped with such shovels push the snow accumulated on the road to the roadside and cannot remove the ice stuck on the road, and the water melted by calcium chloride flows into the groundwater and damages the water pollution. In addition to bringing a variety of problems, such as bringing corrosion to the lower part of the vehicle.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and after the snow stacked on the road and collected by melting, melting the secondary to remove the snow or ice remaining on the road surface, and also to dry the road surface complex The purpose of the present invention is to provide a compound snow removal vehicle that can prevent human accidents by removing snow accumulated on the surface of the road and preventing road freezing.
