Recently, the reporter learned from the Fuping Road Bureau in Yantai City that after more than three months of research and trials, the bureau successfully developed a new conservation vehicle for road surface cleaning. According to Zhang Kechang, a director of the Aircraft Operations Division, who participated in the research, many of the pavement debris were “squeezed†to the vicinity of the curb, most of which were soil and gravel. At present, the commonly used cleaning method is a combination of sweeping vehicles and manual labor. However, these two methods have drawbacks: the use of sweeping vehicles requires large investment, high operating costs, and low manual cleaning efficiency. “Sweeping vehicles are sand and soil†that are sucked into the big “trash can†on the car and filled up. Then the cleaning truck is using a high-pressure water flow to “blown†sand and soil together. A high-pressure water stream “blows†it to the side ditch to achieve the purpose of cleaning the road.This type of cleaning vehicle is divided into three parts: the body, the water tank, and the high-pressure water jet mechanism. The water tank is customized, can store 3.5 cubic meters of water and is installed in the rear bucket of the vehicle; the high-pressure water spray mechanism is the core of the sweeper and consists of diesel engines, high-pressure water pumps, pipelines and nozzles, said Zhang Kechang. “The same is the mechanized operation. Compared with the traditional road sweeper, the self-made wash truck has three advantages: First, the equipment investment is small. To buy a road sweeper vehicle should be at least 300,000, and use an existing road maintenance vehicle to assemble one. The total cost of cleaning the vehicle is no more than 23,000 yuan, and the second is the low maintenance cost.Cleaning a single road surface of 100 kilometers, the cost of using the fuel and loss of the road sweeping vehicle add up to nearly 1,000 yuan.If you use a cleaning vehicle, the cost will be 200 yuan. Third, the operation is flexible.The speed of regular sweeping vehicles is limited at one time, and cannot be too fast.After using the cleaning vehicle, at least 10 kilometers of road surface can be cleaned per hour, and the speed of the road can be flexibly controlled.Of course, if and manual operation In comparison, the advantages are even more obvious. In terms of road cleaning, the workload of a cleaning vehicle is worth at least 20 maintenance workers.†Zhang Kaichang’s excitement is related to the benefits of cleaning vehicles.
