Structure of mechanism |
| Function |
The top of the blade is attached to a snow removal vehicle, and the bottom of the blade is liftable. The lifting of the blade is done through the control of the main cylinder and can move from a transport position to a clearing snow position (P0 P1). In case of obstacles on the road, the bottom of the blade can rise slightly due to elastic means (here modeled by two cylinders). Also if there is an obstruction on one side of the road, the bottom of the blade can be rotated to avoid it. The purpose of this lifting system is to preserve the good condition of the road. |
