Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/011476
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an agitating snow-melting device that can increase snow-melting efficiency, prevents snow adhered to a rotating axle for agitation from bulking up, and is movable with a compact configuration. The device has: a snow-melting tank (2) that can store water up to a predetermined water level; a plurality of rotating axles (3) that are rotatably held in parallel within the snow-melting tank (2); agitating vane groups (4) comprising a plurality of vanes (41) that protrude along the axial direction of each rotating axle (3); a rotation-driving means (5) that drives the rotation of each rotating axle (3); and a steam-supply means (6) that supplies steam within the snow-melting tank (2) and/or a high-pressure water jetting means (7) that jets high-pressure water within the snow-melting tank (2). When the rotating axles (3) are rotated, each agitating vane group (4) provided to adjacent rotating axles (3) is disposed in a manner so that each passes through the gap between one vane (41) and another vane (41).
