We make a snowplower by our own hands: analysis of 3 best homemade constructionsThe snow season is a favorite time for children: skating for skis and sleighs, a joyful spectacle in snowballs and the construction of ice castles... However, the owners of suburban houses are not very happy with snow abundance, because they have to take a shovel and clean the area again. Excellent, if you can be able to buy a snow-removing machine and turn the seasonal tax into a pleasant job. However, if there is not enough money to buy a useful"helper", you can always carry out a snowplower with your own hands from materials that have long since been dusting around in the corner skillfully or barn.
Building #1 is a sample of a snow-
Preparing the main parts
We suggest first to see the variation, like to perform a snowplower with your own hands for the base of an old motor through a motoblock. For this, you have to prepare:
Sheet iron for the assembly of the auger body
The original place is 50x50 mm for the frame structure
Plywood width 10 mm for the sake of side parts;
A half-inch pipe for the arrangement of the handle of the machine.
When planning to equip a snowplower with an air-cooled engine, it must necessarily foresee additional protection of the air- work of small particles of snow. The motor power of this device is 6.5 hp. Its all pretty enough for cleaning the freshest snow from the homestead.
Thanks to the width of the car's grip of 50 cm, it is comfortable enough to move the structure and clean the zigzag tracks for the site. The tool has a small size, its width does not exceed 65 cm. This makes it possible at any time because of the uselessness of hiding the snowplower in the building, it passes freely through an ordinary doorway.
For the production of auger shaft can be removed? inch tube. In the pipe make a through cut, necessary for fixing an iron blade with dimensions of 120x270 mm. In the process of working, the grasping snow piece from the conveyor belt with the auger is enough to move to the blade. This blade, in turn, by the action of the rotation of the shaft, it is enough to tilt the sediment to the sides.
The frame of the snow-picker is allowed to weld from the iron corners 50x50 mm, and closer to the edges of the structure in the pipe to the transverse corners it remains to weld just the two corners on each side, the dimensions of which are 25x25 mm
To these corners in the forthcoming and quite enduring motor platform. To fasten the transverse corners to the longitudinal ones and to fix for their control knob is permitted with the help of bolts (M8).
The screw tube is equipped with an iron shovel and 4 rubber rings d=28 cm, the material for the production of which can cause the side of the tire or a 1.5-meter conveyor belt with a width of 1.5 mm. Вырезать кольца из резиновой базы дозволено при помощи обычного приспособления: в дощечку забить два самореза, а потом эту конструкцию плотно закрепить для ленте и провернуть сообразно кругу. Гораздо упростить функцию вырезания дозволено, используя электролобзикSince the auger of the snow-removal machine is rather self-centering bearings 205, they should be positioned for the pipe. For the sake of that in order to fulfill the snow-picker himself, it is permissible to extract any bearings, the essence - they must exist closed execution. As a protective cover for the sake of bearings, protection through the cardan of the old Zhiguli models can come out. Suggestion. That the structure perfectly entered into bearings, in it it is necessary to execute a pair of cuts and a little to tap. Such manipulations can reduce the diameter of the shaft a little. For the sake of insuring a self-made auger through the ingress of ice, the desire to foresee the safety pin. In addition to the direct purpose - cutting to be wedged auger, it is enough to serve as a belt guard (if to equip the belt transmission system). The auger drive can also be carried out by a chain. The frequency of its rotation for idling leaves about 800 relative per minute. All snowplow accessories necessary to purchase are available at any special store. For the sake of snow throwing, a piece of plastic sewage pipe d=160 mm is very suitable. It is fixed for a pipe of the same diameter, placed for the auger body itself
Continuation of this piece of pipe is enough to walk the trough for the release of snow, the diameter of which is forced to exist more if the width of the iron blade of the screw.
Assembly of the structure
Пред сборкой конструкции должен направить почтение для то, который размеры корпуса машины должны для пару см побеждать габариты самого шнека. Это позволит предупредить задевание механизмом стен корпуса в процессе работы.
Since the snow plow engine in snowless periods can be used for other purposes, in the design of the unit, the desire to anticipate a quick-detachable comfortable platform, thanks to which the engine can be removed at any time without using any tools.
The significant advantage of such a constructive solution is The growth of the cleaning of the hull and movable parts of the machine through the packed snow. Well, there is a snowplower for storing it much easier: it's enough to remove the engine and the tool is twice as easy. The basis for skis are wooden beams, which are precisely equipped with plastic pads. Make such overlays are allowed from the box through the wiring.
The snowblower is drunk to the operation. It remains only to paint the homemade structure and start to work in accordance with snow clearing.
Structure #2 - rotary snowblower"Blizzard"
This tool is simple enough, skilled, equipped with a lathe and welding machine. The snow-combper constructed by Penza craftsmen showed himself well even in sufficiently severe snow-cover criteria.
The structure of the device consists of: engine with built-in silencer, All components of the device can be purchased in the store or taken from the same motorbike
For the sake of the beginning, the rotor must be made for the lathe for the base of the corresponding workpiece from the motor part. From the outside it looks like a metal disk d=290 mm and a width of 2 mm. The disk, being connected by means of bolts with a nave, forms a design to which are already fastened by a way of welding of 5 blades. For the sake of increasing the efficiency of the blade mechanism, the exact blade on the back side is strengthened by the stiffeners. The cooling system of the motor works in accordance with the principle of the fan, whose blades are made of duralumin and fixed to the pulley for starting the motor
The soldered casing, which is located for the crankcase cover, protects the fan. In order to increase the cooling property, the cylinder head is positioned at an angle of 90 degrees.
For the rotor housing, an elevation is placed for the pairwise placed 4 ball bearings. It is fixed to the body by means of an iron pressure ring and bolts. Personally, the body of the rotor is pressed against the frame by means of a special clamp, which partly grasps the clamp ring. Schemes for assembling the main parts of the snowstorm"Vyuga"
The removable elements of the machine are the dural wall of the rotor housing and placed along the scraper frame.
A significant advantage of a self-made snow-removing machine is the ability to adjust the width of the gripper through changing the scrapers. For the height and high quality properties of the unit. The authority of the design does not exceed 18 kg, which allows to extract it to the ladies, and the distance of the snow throw is close to 8 meters.
Building #3 - snow-picker from the Friendship settlement
