The snow-removing vehicle may comprise a snow collector, a vacuum, a tank, a steam chamber, and a vehicle. As the vehicle drives through snow, the snow collector may remove the snow from a roadway and may direct the snow towards a vacuum hose. The vacuum may draw the snow from the snow collector, through the vacuum hose, and into the tank. The snow may be heated while in the tank and may melt into water. The heating may turn the water into steam. The steam may collect in the steam chamber before being expelled from the vehicle via one or more exhaust fans.

A brush (1) intended for industrial use comprises one or more bristle bunches formed by a plurality of elongated bristles, one or more cassette elements having said bristle bunches, and a cassette element holding member (3) at which said cassette elements may be removably secured. At least one of said cassette elements comprises a body, one or more recesses configured to receive said bristle bunches therein, and a securing wire configured to secure said bristle bunches in said recesses. Said at least one cassette element further comprises means configured to counteract movement of the bristles of a bristle bunch with respect to each other and/or with respect to the securing wire.

A snow blower including an auger housing, an auger rotatably positioned within the auger housing and configured to blow snow, a shaft attached to the auger and the auger housing, a chute attached to the auger housing and configured to direct the snow blown by the auger away from the snow blower, and at least one sensor configured to detect at least one of a rotational speed of the auger or the shaft and a load, torque, and/or thrust on the shaft or the auger housing. The data collected by the at least one sensor is used to determine an instantaneous flow rate of snow.

The present pull-type snow blower attachment comprises a housing, a auger and a snow blowing fan arrangement. The housing defines a longitudinally curved surface between two walls. A hitch protrudes away from the surface and is adapted for attachment behind a vehicle. The auger is rotatably secured to the walls of the housing. The auger defines two opposite sections and a middle section therebetween. Each opposite section is equipped with a spiral blade angled towards the middle section, and the middle section is equipped with at least two blades for lifting snow. The snow blowing fan arrangement includes a fan and a chute section above the fan. The fan is between the auger and the hitch. The fan is adapted for receiving snow lifted by the at least two blades of the auger and pushing the snow through the chute section.

Disclosed is a snow shoveling and snow discharging assembly of a snow sweeping robot. The snow shoveling and snow discharging assembly comprises a snow stirring structure, a snow feeding structure and a snow raising structure. Stirring cutters in the snow stirring mechanism are driven by a stirring cutter shaft to stir bottom area snow into a snow feeding pipe of the snow feeding structure, an air blower in the snow feeding structure blows accumulated snow into a snow raising pipe of the snow raising structure through a connecting pipe, the snow raising pipe can be driven by a steering motor to rotate by a certain angle to control the snow raising direction, and a second electric push rod acts to control pitching of the guide part, so that the height of snow during snow raising is controlled.

A power tool includes a power a motor, a driver circuit, a capacitor, a capacitor switch, a temperature detection unit, and a controller. The capacitor is configured to filter out current spikes in a power supply. The capacitor switch is configured to control a working state of the capacitor. The temperature detection unit is configured to detect a temperature of a related object. The controller is configured to: acquire the temperature of the related object; control the capacitor switch to be in a first on or off state such that the capacitor works in a first working state when the temperature is lower than a temperature threshold; and control the capacitor switch to be in a second on or off state such that the capacitor works in a second working state when the temperature is higher than the temperature threshold.

A system that is towed behind a vehicle to remove snow and ice from pavement. The system includes a trailer. The trailer includes a longitudinal substantially rigid frame structure, a trailer hitch connected to a front end of the trailer for selective connection-disconnection to the vehicle, and a suspension appliance connected to a rear portion of the trailer to separate at least a rear portion of the frame structure from the pavement. At least two additive snow and ice removal tools are connected to the frame structure and located underneath the trailer and over the pavement, each of the tools enabling a different type of snow and ice removal from the pavement when towing the system behind the vehicle to remove snow and ice from the pavement.

A chute for a drop spreader assembly that includes a body having a vertical axis. A funnel portion of the body has an open top to receive flowable material, a dispensing chute portion of the body has a distal dispensing opening and extending along an angle with respect to the vertical axis, and a plurality of directional vanes of the body protrudes into a flowpath within the dispensing chute portion to direct flowable material to an even distribution pattern through the distal dispensing opening. In some forms, the dispensing chute portion can be divided into a central portion and lateral portions separated from the central portion by gaps adapted to receive structure associated with a snow removal device therethrough. Each of the central and lateral portions can have a plurality of directional vanes protruding into a flowpath thereof.

A brush retrofit for mounting behind a snow plow blade of a snow removal vehicle is disclosed. The brush retrofit includes a base frame, a stationary brush assembly, a retrofit mount, a brush elevation actuator, and a retrofit mount. The stationary brush assembly is movably mounted to the base frame. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade. The brush elevation actuator when activated, moves the stationary brush assembly relative to the base frame between a raised storage position and a lowered in-use position. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade.
