Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a snow melting device used for processing a snow bank or the like formed on the roadside after snow accumulation or mechanical snow removal.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
In general, in areas where there is a large amount of snowfall, it is often the case that a snowfall of 1 m or more occurs overnight. Therefore, if this large amount of snow is not dealt with, each transportation system will surely suffer and will have a serious impact on life. Therefore, snow removal work is performed several times every day in such an area.
[0003]
At this time, snow removal on the road is performed by pushing the snow on the side of the road by a snow plow having an inclined pushing surface that pushes snow like a bulldozer. It should be noted that snow removal by this snowplow is generally performed early in the morning in order to ensure traffic during morning commutes, particularly where traffic congestion is likely to occur.
[0004]
By the way, since the snow removal with this snowplow is performed by pushing by the inclined pushing surface as described above, after the snow removal, a snow bank with snow blocks piled up in a bank shape is formed on the side of the road.
[0005]
If there is a lot of snow, this snow bank may be about the height of a child, which is very disturbing, especially if it is in front of the entrance or in the garage, it will greatly hinder people and cars. Therefore, in the snowy country, this snow bank must be processed in the morning.
[0006]
This snow bank is generally handled by transporting snow from the front of the entrance to another place with a scoop or the like, but recently, it has also been proposed to melt snow with a trouble-free snow melting device.
[0007]
As this snow melting device, there are a ground-mounted type and a buried type, and in particular, the buried type has not been affected by the appearance of the house, and thus has been widely adopted in recent years.
[0008]
This conventional buried type snow melting device (hereinafter referred to as a conventional example) is, for example, a box-shaped snow melting device having a snow inlet that can be covered with a lid at the top, as in registered utility model No. 3032661. A room is provided, snow is thrown into the snow melting room with a scoop or a snow dumper, and the snow is melted with a snow melting means provided in the snow melting room. In addition, this snow melting means forms a groundwater permeation hole in the side wall of the snow melting chamber, sprinkles ground water in the snow melting chamber, heats the snow melting chamber with a boiler, and creates hot water from the water by using this boiler. A means for melting snow by spraying water into the snow melting chamber is employed. Moreover, the snowmelt water generated by snowmelt is drained by a drain pump.
[0009]
The conventional example can surely exhibit the snow melting effect, and can be reliably processed even when a large amount of snow is thrown in.
[0010]
However, this conventional example requires many devices inside and outside the snow melting chamber, and it is inevitable that the cost is increased.
[0011]
Furthermore, the conventional example has a problem of adversely affecting the environment, such as promoting land subsidence and global warming, and a problem of extremely low energy efficiency.
[0012]
Specifically, groundwater spraying means that the temperature difference between snow and groundwater is small, so the snowmelt efficiency is poor and a large amount of groundwater is required for snowmelt. Therefore, there is a problem of land subsidence due to excessive pumping of groundwater.
[0013]
In addition, since the means by the boiler is a means of indirectly using heat, such as warming the inside of the snow melting chamber or supplying hot water, most of the heat is released into the atmosphere and is not used for melting snow, so it has extremely high thermal efficiency. Is bad. This is not preferable from the viewpoint of running cost and global warming.
[0014]
In addition, there is a configuration in which a predetermined amount of hot water heated by the boiler is stored at the bottom of the snow melting chamber, and snow melting is performed with the stored hot water. However, in this configuration, heat dissipation during delivery from the boiler, from the pipe through which the hot water passes Much energy is lost due to heat dissipation, heat dissipation to the atmosphere during water spraying, etc. Moreover, when draining the snowmelt water generated by the snowmelt, a part of the hot water is drained together with the snowmelt water, so that the energy efficiency is poor.
[0015]
As described above, it must be said that the conventional example is extremely inefficient in energy.
[0016]
The present invention has been achieved in view of the above-described present situation, and provides a snow melting apparatus excellent in practicality that can melt a large amount of snow extremely efficiently while having a simple configuration.

The snow mass 10 can be melted efficiently by the heat of the heat source 2.
[0031]
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the present invention provides a snow melting apparatus excellent in practicality that can reliably and efficiently melt a large amount of snow with a simple structure.
[0032]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The drawings illustrate one embodiment of the present invention and are described below.
[0033]
The present embodiment is a snow melting device for melting a snow lump 10 generated by snow accumulation, snow removal work, etc., and a snow lump charging box 1 having an opening 8 embedded in a predetermined location and capable of charging the snow lump 10; The heat source 2 provided at the bottom 9 of the snow lump charging box 1 for melting the snow lump 10 and the snow melt water generated by melting the snow lump 10 is drained to contact the snow lump 10 and the heat source 2. It is comprised from the drainage mechanism 3 which produces a state.
[0034]
Specifically explaining each part, the snow lump throwing box 1 includes a flat front plate portion 1a and a rear plate portion 1b constituting the front and rear portions, and a flat left plate portion 1c and a right plate constituting the left and right side portions. 1d, a flat bottom plate portion 1e constituting the bottom portion 9, a front circular plate portion 1f having a circular arc cross section connecting the front plate portion 1a and the bottom plate portion 1e, a rear plate portion 1b and a bottom plate portion 1e. And a U-shaped rear continuous plate portion 1g having a circular arc cross-section in a cross-sectional view.
[0035]
The snow lump input box 1 has a width (the length between the left side plate portion 1c and the right side plate portion 1d) set to be substantially the same as the width of the garage 12 in which the vehicle 13 is stored, and is shown in FIGS. In this way, it is buried between the garage 12 and the snow drift groove 14 on the road.
[0036]
This snow lump charging box 1 is partitioned by a partition plate 16 having a gap at the bottom, one side is a snow melting chamber 18 having a heat source 2 at the bottom, and the other is a drainage mechanism for the snow melting water generated by the snow melting chamber 18 3 is configured as a drainage chamber 19 to be discharged.
[0037]
The snow lump charging box 1 has an opening 8 for charging the snow lump 10 into the snow lump charging box 1.
[0038]
In addition, a lid 7 is provided in the opening 8 of the snow lump input box 1.
[0039]
The lid 7 is configured such that one side is pivotally attached to the edge of the opening 8, specifically the upper edge of the rear plate portion, and the opening 8 is opened and closed by swinging the lid 7. Yes.
[0040]
The bottom 9 of the snow melting chamber 18 is provided on an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the drain chamber 19 side. The slope of this inclined surface is set to about 3%.
[0041]
Further, in this embodiment, a rubber sheet-like electric heating mat that is the heat source 2 is laid on the inclined surface, but a mesh-like one may be adopted as the electric heating mat.
[0042]
In this embodiment, the heat source 2 is laid on the inclined surface. However, the heat source 2 may be further provided on the back surface of the lid 7 so that the snow mass 10 is held up and down. Other configurations such as providing the heat source 2 on the entire inner surface of the snow lump charging box 1 may be used.
[0043]
The lower part of the drainage chamber 19 is set to the water collecting portion 4 where the snowmelt water generated in the snowmelt chamber 18 flows from the inclined surface of the snowmelt chamber 18 through the gap below the partition plate 16 and accumulates.
[0044]
Further, a drainage pump 5 is provided at the deepest part of the water collecting part 4, and the snowmelt water accumulated in the water collecting part 4 is discharged to the snow flow groove 14 through a discharge pipe 11 connected to the drainage pump 5. (This draining mechanism is the mechanism that drains this snowmelt water.)
[0045]
Thus, the snow mass charging box 1 is provided with the heat source 2, the drainage mechanism 3, the drainage chamber 19 and the like. That is, the snow mass charging box 1 is provided with the heat source 2 and the drainage mechanism 3. Therefore, the snow lump input box 1, the heat source 2, and the drainage mechanism 3 are integrated, and a predetermined-shaped arrangement hole 17 is dug in the ground (see FIG. 5A). The present embodiment can be used only by burying the snow lump input box 1 in 17 (see FIG. 5B).
[0046]
In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a house.
[0047]
Next, the usage method of a present Example is demonstrated.
[0048]
The snow lump input box 1 is buried between the snow drift groove 14 of the road and the garage 12 of the house 15 in parallel with the road.
[0049]
In this construction, since the snow lump charging box 1 includes the heat source 2 and the drainage mechanism 3, the snow lump charging box 1 is simply buried by digging the arrangement hole 17 without the need for a special process. Therefore, it is buried very easily.
[0050]
During the period when the snow melting work is not performed, the lid 7 is closed so as not to obstruct the passage of a person or the vehicle 13.
[0051]
When performing snow melting work (removal of a snow bank), first, the lid 7 is opened, and the snow bank formed on the side of the road is inserted into the snow lump input box 1 through the opening 8 with a scoop or a snow dumper.
[0052]
At this time, the snow lump box 1 is buried very close to the side of the road on which the snow bank is formed, so even a weak woman such as a woman or an elderly person scoops it down with a scoop or pushes it from the opposite side. The snow lump 10 can be thrown into the snow melting chamber 18 of the snow lump throwing box 1 very easily.
[0053]
After the snow mass 10 is put in, the lid 7 is closed and the electric heating mat laid on the bottom 9 of the snow melting chamber 18 is turned on.
[0054]
The snow mass 10 comes into contact with the heat source 2 at the bottom 9 of the snow mass charging box 1 and is melted.
[0055]
By the way, the snowmelt water is generated by the melting of the snow lump 10. When this snowmelt water accumulates at the bottom 9 of the snowmelt chamber 18, the contact between the snow mass 10 and the heat source 2 becomes via the snowmelt water, and the heat of the heat source 2 is changed to the heat source 2 and the snowmelt water, the snowmelt water and the snow mass 10 It is transmitted to the snow mass 10 through the two-stage process, and the snow melting efficiency is lowered accordingly.
[0056]
In this respect, the present embodiment is configured such that the snowmelt water is collected in the water collecting portion 4 of the drainage chamber 19 by the inclined surface of the bottom portion 9 of the snow lump charging box 1. Snow melt water does not accumulate, and the snow mass 10 and the heat source 2 are always in direct contact with each other, so that the snow mass 10 is efficiently melted by the heat of the heat source 2.
[0057]
In addition, at this time, the drain pump 5 is provided at the deepest part of the water collecting section 4 below the drain chamber 19 of the snow lump charging box 1, and the drain pump 5 is always immersed in the snow melt water. Therefore, only snowmelt water can be surely drained without taking in air, which is also efficient from this point.
[0058]
In addition, since the shape of the front continuous plate portion and the rear continuous plate portion of the snow lump charging box 1 is arcuate in cross section, the snow lump 10 located in this portion is well guided to the heat source 2 at the bottom 9. Since the snow mass 10 and the heat source 2 are in good contact with each other, even if the thrown snow mass 10 is reduced by melting snow, the snow mass 10 is sequentially brought into contact with the heat source 2 by the induction, and thus the snow mass 10 It can be melted without leaving.
[0059]
In addition to the above-described front continuous plate portion and rear continuous plate portion, the left side plate portion 1c and the bottom plate portion 1e are further connected by the left continuous plate portion having an arcuate cross section, and the right side plate portion 1d and the bottom plate portion. 1e may be connected by a right connecting plate portion having an arcuate cross section, and in this case, the above-described inducing action of the snow mass 10 to the heat source 2 is more satisfactorily exhibited. Further, the above-described inductive action can be further improved by connecting the front continuous plate portion, the rear continuous plate portion, the left continuous plate portion, and the right continuous plate portion with the corner continuous plate portions each having an arcuate cross section. It becomes good.
[0060]
Further, the shape of the snow lump throwing box 1 is such that the bottom 9 is flat, so that the snow lump 10 is easy to come into contact with the bottom 9 on average and the snow lump 10 melts well.
[0061]
Thereby, the thrown-in snow is surely melted and drained, and on the next day, the snow lump throwing box 1 can be used, and can be used every day.
[0062]
Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the snow lump throwing box 1 is buried between the snow drift groove 14 of the road and the garage 12 of the house 15 and the snow lump 10 is thrown into the snow lump throwing box 1. Thus, the snow mass 10 formed on the side of the road can be reliably melted by the heat source 2 provided at the bottom portion 9 of the snow mass charging box 1.
[0063]
At this time, since the snow lump charging box 1 is provided with an electric heating mat as the heat source 2, even if snow is charged until the snow lump charging box 1 is full, the charged snow lump 10 has a wide electric heat. It will be melted sequentially in contact with the mat, so that even a large amount of snow lump 10 can be reliably processed. Moreover, since the electricity bill for using this electric heating mat is extremely cheap as compared with the expense of making hot water using a boiler or the like, it is possible to melt snow easily without incurring much expense.
[0064]
Moreover, since this electric heating mat is laid on the bottom 9 of the snow melting chamber 18 of the snow lump charging box 1 with a planar heat source, the entire snow mass 10 at the bottom 9 of the snow melting chamber 18 can be melted evenly. Efficiency is good.
[0065]
Further, the shape of the snow lump charging box 1 is configured so that the snow lump 10 is guided to the heat source 2 at the bottom 9 so that the snow lump 10 and the heat source 2 are in good contact with each other. Even if the snow mass 10 decreases due to melting, the heat source 2 is brought into contact with the heat source 2 by the induction, so that the snow mass 10 can be melted without remaining.
[0066]
Moreover, since the width of the snow lump input box 1 of the present embodiment is substantially the same as the width of the garage 12, all of the snow lump 10 formed before the garage 12 can be very easily added to the snow lump input box 1. Even a weak woman or an elderly person can quickly put it in and clean it so that the front of the garage 12 does not interfere with the entry and exit of the vehicle 13.
[0067]
In addition, by configuring the snow lump input box 1 of this embodiment so as to be able to store water, it can be used as a rainwater utilization facility in the summer, and for example, the collected rainwater can be used with less concern as much as watering the garden. It also demonstrates the combined functions that can be used for
[0068]
Therefore, rainwater can be stored in the snow lump input box 1 from the rain gutter through a purification filter, and can be used not only for spraying water, washing cars, road surfaces, etc. as intermediate water, but also as fireproof water. It can also be used as a drainage adjustment dredger during heavy rain. Furthermore, in sandy ground, a hole can be made in the bottom surface of the snow lump input box 1 and used as a seepage trough.
[0069]
In addition, since the structure of the maintenance and management of the snow lump charging box 1 is simple, it is only necessary to clean the inside of the snow lump charging box 1 at the time of transition from the use of snowmelt to the use of rainwater, and can be extremely simplified.
[0070]
As described above, the present embodiment is a snow melting apparatus excellent in practicality that can reliably and efficiently melt a large amount of snow with a simple configuration without waste.
[0071]
An experimental example that has been confirmed to exhibit the above-described effects will be described below.
[0072]
In the first experimental example, the shape of the snow lump input box 1 is examined.
[0073]
Three types of snow lump input boxes were prepared. FIG. 6A shows a flat front plate portion and a rear plate portion constituting the front and rear portions, a flat left plate portion and a right plate portion constituting the left and right side portions, and a flat bottom plate constituting the bottom portion. A cross-sectional view including a front plate portion having a circular arc cross section that connects the front plate portion and the bottom plate portion, and a rear continuous plate portion having a circular arc shape that continuously connects the rear plate portion and the bottom plate portion. U-shaped type 21 (this embodiment), FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view trapezoidal type 31 that is wider toward the top, and FIG. 6C is a cross-sectional view of the front plate portion, the rear plate portion, and the bottom plate portion. This is a semicircular type 41 in cross-sectional view arranged continuously in an arc shape.
[0074]
A snow lump was put into the snow lump charging box of each shape, and a difference in snow melting ability was confirmed.
[0075]
As a result of the experiment, the sectional view trapezoidal shape type 31 has a cavity extending in the length direction of the corner by melting snow around the corner which is a continuous portion of the bottom plate, the front plate and the rear plate. It was confirmed that this occurs (it was confirmed that snow remained in a bridge shape from the substantially central part of the bottom plate part to the substantially central part of the front plate part and the rear plate part).
[0076]
It was confirmed that the semicircular type 41 in cross-sectional view has no flat portion at the bottom and a large arc, so that snow is concentrated on the central portion and no snow melting is performed by the side portions.
[0077]
It was confirmed that the U-shaped type 21 in sectional view was able to melt snow well. This is because the snow lump 10 is guided to the heat source 2 at the bottom 9 by the front continuous plate portion and the rear continuous plate portion having an arcuate cross section so that the snow mass 10 and the heat source 2 are in good contact with each other. This is considered to be because even if the snow mass 10 decreases due to snow melting, it is brought into contact with the heat source 2 by the induction.
[0078]
In addition to the front continuous plate portion and the rear continuous plate portion, the left side plate portion and the bottom plate portion are further connected by the left continuous plate portion having an arc cross section, and the right side plate portion and the bottom plate portion are cross-sectionally circled. It has also been confirmed that the above-described inductive action is further improved by the configuration in which the arc-shaped right continuous plate portions are continuously provided. Therefore, the induction | guidance | derivation effect | action is exhibited by connecting at least any one of a front board part, a rear board part, a left side board part, and a right side board part with a bottom board part by the continuous board part of circular cross-section.
[0079]
From the results of the first experimental example described above, it was confirmed that the snow lump throwing box has a U-shaped type 21 in cross section, that is, this example has the highest snow melting ability.
[0080]
In the second experimental example, workability / snow melting performance and snow melting cost for throwing snow into the snow lump box were confirmed.
[0081]
The experiment was performed according to the following procedure.
[0082]
As the snow lump input box, the U-shaped type 21 in cross-sectional view described above was adopted. In addition, the thing of the magnitude | size of width 2.86m, length 1.31m, and height 0.97m was employ | adopted.
[0083]
The snow lump that was actually stacked in front of the entrance by the snowplow was put into a snow litter box using a general household snowpump, and the time from closing the lid to finishing the work was measured. The worker was a woman in her 30s.
[0084]
The amount of snow thrown is about 190 kg with a snow removal width of 3.0 m. Turn on the electric heating mat, start snow melting, check the situation with photos and videos several hours later, and use the snow melting situation and use 24 hours later The amount of electricity was confirmed.
[0085]
As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the working time was 10 minutes, the amount of snow melting was 175 kg, and the amount of electricity used was 17.3 kWh (121 yen).
[0086]
From the results of the second experimental example described above, according to the present example, it was confirmed that snow blocks piled up in front of the house by the snowplow can be processed at low cost in a short work time.
[0087]
The third experimental example was conducted for the purpose of confirming that power consumption is efficiently used for melting snow.
[0088]
The experiment was performed according to the following procedure.
[0089]
As in the second experimental example, the above-mentioned U-shaped type 21 in cross-sectional view was adopted for the snow lump charging box.
[0090]
About 80% of the snow mass (estimated specific gravity 600kg / m3) that was actually stacked in front of the entrance by the snowplow was put into the snow mass charging box, the electric mat was turned on, and snow melting was started.
[0091]
The snowmelt water discharged to the gutter was connected to a flow meter, and the total amount of snowmelt water was measured, and the snowmelt condition and the amount of electricity used were confirmed. At the same time, the temperature of snowmelt water was measured in the drainage chamber of the snow lump box.
[0092]
The results of the experiment are shown below.
[0093]
FIG. 7 shows changes over time in the amount of snowmelt water and power consumption. The power consumption and the amount of snowmelt water are increasing in proportion to the time. Since the power consumption per day was about 18.0 kWh, the amount of snowmelt water assuming that this energy was spent on 100% snowmelt was 195 kg / day. On the other hand, in this measurement, the amount of snowmelt water was 180 L / day (= 180 kg / day).
[0094]
Moreover, in this snow lump throwing box, the ground conduction heat received from a peripheral surface and a bottom face can be mentioned as a heat source other than the electric heating mat. The amount is simply estimated as follows.
[0095]
Assuming that the ground temperature is 5 ° C., the area in contact with snow is 2 m ² , the thermal conductivity of snow is 0.42 W / mK, and the distance that heat is transferred through the snow is 10 cm, the following is obtained.
[0096]
Calorie per unit time = area x thermal conductivity of snow x temperature difference / heat transfer distance
= 2 × 0.42 × 5 / 0.1
= 42W = 42J / s
[0097]
If this state continues for 24 hours, the amount of heat received in one day is as follows.
Amount of heat received in one day = 42 J / s x 3600 x 24
= 1.0kWh
Snow melting efficiency = (Amount of heat corresponding to the actual amount of snow melting-Amount of heat received from the ground) / Amount of input heat
= (16.6-1.0) /18.0
= 87%
[0098]
Moreover, the result of having measured the temperature of snowmelt water is shown in FIG. 2 to 3 ° C. is maintained throughout the measurement period, and it is understood that excessive heat is not supplied to the snow.
[0099]
From the results of the third experimental example described above, it was shown that high snow melting efficiency was achieved in this example by actively draining snow melting water.
