Definitions
- the present invention refers to a method for the removal of snow from tracks or track areas for track-bound vehicles in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also concerns a device.
- a goal of the present invention is to make available a method and a device that are extremely advantageous for the removal of snow from snowy areas.
- the goal of the invention is met in that the method and the device have the characteristics indicated in the claims.
- the invention makes possible a time-effective collection and removal of snow where the removal of collected snow takes place under volume reduction.
- the invention has both technical and economic advantages.
- Figure 1 shows a device in accordance with the invention in a perspective view.
- Figure 2 shows the snow collection device of the device at work.
- Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section through the snow collection device.
- Figure 4 shows the snow collection device of the device with its side brushes in parking position.
- Figure 5 shows a transport of the device between two positions of use.
- the snow removal device 1 shown in figure 1 comprises a snow collection device 10, a snow melting device 50, and a liquid container 70.
- the components included in the device 1 are normally arranged as in a train set.
- the snow melting device 50 is carried by a first railway carriage 51 and the liquid container 70 is carried by another railway carriage 71.
- Railway wheels 80 are shown in the figures.
- Coupling devices (not shown) are arranged between the carriages.
- a driving device in the form, for example, of a locomotive 100 is coupled to the back end of the device 1 for, among other things, taking care of driving forward along a railway track whose rails are designated with 151 and 152.
- a driver's cab 200 is arranged in the front end of the first carriage 51 , as a result of which an operator has a good view of the snow collection device 10 during forward travel in the working direction A of the device 1.
- the snow collection device 10 is built up around a frame 11 that is coupled to the front end of the first railway carriage 51.
- Railway wheels 12 are provided for further supporting of the frame 11.
- the snow collection device 10 comprises a snow collection aggregate 20 with a rotating brush 21 (arrow B) and at least one feeder screw 22 that feeds the snow from two directions and via a possible fan (not shown) to a transport conduit 30.
- a snow thrower The rotating brush 21 extends like the feeder screw/the feeder screws substantially over the entire width of the snow collection aggregate 20, that brings it about that the desired snow clearance of a railway track can be achieved in this way.
- two side brushes 41 , 42 are arranged at the front edge of the frame 11 , as is apparent from the figures.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 are in a working position where they form a V-formation and are driven in a rotational direction that sweeps the snow in on the track and inside the working width of the snow collection aggregate 20.
- the conduit 30 empties into the snow melting device 50, that is set up to melt the snow that comes into the snow melting device 50 via the snow collection device 10 and via the conduit 30.
- the detailed construction of the device 50 can be varied in many different ways but often a pouring on of warm water, water vapour, etc. is used. Alternatively, some other type of heat supply is used in order to convert the snow to melted water.
- Melted water formed in the snow melting device 50 is transferred to the liquid container 70 via a line that is not shown.
- the accumulated capacity of the liquid container 70 is especially valuable since the method in accordance with the invention can accumulate orders of magnitude of a 5-10 times greater volume of snow than its own volume. This brings about great advantages of transport and increased effectiveness as concerns the clearance of snow.
- a saving of energy and a reduced risk of freezing can be obtained by heat-insulating the snow melting arrangement 50 and the liquid container 70.
- the operator present in the driver's compartment also remotely manoeuvres the locomotive 100 responsible for the transport movement of the device.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 are pivoted inwards and hoisted up to an inactive parking position.
- Figure 5 exemplifies a carriage-borne transport of the snow removal arrangement 1 to a new site of use, whereby the snow collection arrangement 10 is transported on a coupled carriage 300.
- the snow removal device 1 There is also the possibility here of arranging the snow removal device 1 so that it can be lifted relative to the carriage 51 so that the transport can take place without the carriage 300.
- side brushes 41 , 42 can be provided with such a reach and ability to be raised that they can be used, for example, to sweep platforms.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 can be raised up and lowered down individually relative to the frame 11 with the aid of arranged controls and, for example, hydraulic cylinders.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 can be pivoted in and out individually relative to the frame 11 with the aid of arranged swivel bearings and, for example, hydraulic cylinders.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 can be driven in rotation individually by hydraulic motors.
- the side brushes 41 , 42 can be individually manoeuvred and driven, they can be given different adjustments and jobs between themselves, which is obviously advantageous. For example, one side brush can be working while the other side brush is in a parked position, and so forth. It is of course apparent that many variations are possible within the scope of the present inventive concept. Variations of components are naturally possible.
