DEVICE FOR SNOW REMOVAL Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC E01H5/10 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: device consists of container with cover; also, container is installed on vehicle. Further, the device consists of unloading work tool at an end lower part, of an autonomous heat generator, of a system for snow processing, of a tank with reagent, of a container cover without heat insulation and of an air inlet. The container is hinged on the vehicle and is equipped with a mechanism of its tilt for removal of melt water and/or wet snow or products left after filtration. A vacuum transporter is additionally mounted on a chassis of the vehicle. The vacuum transporter with its lower part is connected to a universal heated head of snow pickup. With its upper part the vacuum transporter is connected with the container without heat insulation. With its middle part the vacuum transporter is connected with the system of heating from exhausts from an internal combustion engine and the autonomous heat generator. The autonomous heat generator supplies hot air into the container without heat insulation via an air duct. The autonomous heat generator supplied exhausts to the system of snow processing and heating of the vacuum transporter with the universal heated head. The tank with reagent is coupled with an electrical volume pump by means of an intake branch. The electrical volume pump supplies reagent under pressure to a sprayer via a successively connected high pressure pipeline. The sprayer is installed in an upper part of the container without heat insulation. The cover of the container without heat insulation contains a floating valve which operates when volume of the container without heat insulation is filled with melt water or with mixture of melt water with snow over 100 % . The water intake consists of an inbuilt float valve of the vacuum pump operating on melt water or mixture of melt water with snow.

EFFECT: raised efficiency of snow pick-up, reduced time for snow processing into melt water and improved technical characteristics for snow removal.
