SWEEPING CAR WITH ONE-BRUSH
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sweeping tool, and more particularly to a
sweeping car with one-brush.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In north cities, accumulation of snow on the road is a common scene. For
people to go out normally, it is a necessary and heavy job to clear the snow
away
timely. In general, there are different ways to clear the snow away as
follows:
to 1.
To employ more workers to sweep manually. This way not only needs a
large number of labor and material resources but also has lower working
efficiency.
Besides, accumulation of snow depends on the weather. Clearing snow is not a
routine job so the number of the workers cannot be controlled exactly.
2. To use a mechanical apparatus, such as a bulldozer, for cleaning. The
speed of cleaning is fast. However, this way may damage the road and hinder
the traffic.
3. To proceed chemical cleaning with snow melting agent. To spray snow
melting agent on the road accelerates the speed of melting the accumulated
snow,
and then the snow-broth flows to the sewer. But, the snow melting agent will
damage the road. Once the snow-broth cannot be drained to the sewer timely,
the snow-broth may form ice cubes easily to influence the traffic greatly.
Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based
on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a sweeping car with
one-brush to overcome the problems of the prior art.
In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the sweeping car with one-brush

CA 02817267 2013-05-08
comprises a car body, a drive mechanism, a brush, a first transmission
mechanism,
and a control mechanism. The car body is provided with a wheel arranged on the
bottom thereof. The drive mechanism is arranged on the car body and used for
supplying power to the sweeping car. The brush is arranged at one end of the
car
body. The brush comprises a bracket and a plurality of bristles facing the
ground
and arranged on the bracket. The first transmission mechanism is arranged
between the drive mechanism and the brush and used for transmitting the power
from the drive mechanism to the brush. The control mechanism comprises a
control arm extending out from another end of the car body. The control arm is
provided with a control terminal. The control terminal is connected with the
drive
mechanism.
Preferably, the sweeping car with one-brush further comprises a second
transmission mechanism. The second transmission mechanism is arranged
between the drive mechanism and the wheel to transmit the power from the drive
mechanism to the wheel.
Preferably, the bracket is a circular board and has a central rotary shaft
connected with the first transmission mechanism.
Preferably, the car body is provided with a plurality of wheels which are
disposed coaxially.
Preferably, the bristles are arranged radially.
Thus, through the drive mechanism and the first transmission mechanism of
the present invention, the bristles of the brush are turned so that the
bristles can
sweep the snow or dirt on the road and the snow are gathered at the roadside.
The sweeping power of the present invention is provided by the drive mechanism
to lower the labor greatly and to enhance the working efficiency so the cost
is low.
In addition, the present invention is composed of the aforesaid parts, having
the
feature of small size, so the present invention won't hinder the traffic or
damage
the ground.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view according to a preferred embodiment of the
present
invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the brush of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is another perspective view showing the brush of Fig. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of
example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the present invention discloses a sweeping car
100 with one-brush and comprises a car body 1, a drive mechanism 2, a brush 3,
a first transmission mechanism 4, and a control mechanism 5.
The car body 1 is as a bearing frame for the whole sweeping car 100 and
provided with wheels 11 arranged on the bottom thereof. The wheels 11 are
disposed coaxially. In this embodiment, the number of the wheels 11 is two.
The drive mechanism 2 is arranged on the car body 1 and used for supplying
power to the whole sweeping car 100. Preferably, the drive mechanism 2 is a
motor. The seat of the motor is fixed on the car body 1.
The brush 3 is arranged at one end of the car body 1. The brush 3
comprises a bracket 31 and multiple bristles 32 facing the ground and arranged
on
the bracket 31. Preferably, the bristles 32 are arranged radially for sweeping
a
larger area. The bracket 31 is used to fix the bristles 32. The bristles 32
are
used to sweep the accumulated snow on the road. The bracket 31 is a circular
board and has a central rotary shaft (not shown in the drawings). The rotary
shaft
is connected with the first transmission mechanism 4 and driven by the
transmission mechanism 4 to turn the bush 3.

=
The first transmission mechanism 4 is arranged between the drive mechanism
2 and the brush 3 and used for transmitting the power from the drive mechanism
2
to the brush 3.
The control mechanism 5 comprises a control arm 51 extending out from the
other end of the car body 1. The control arm 51 is provided with a control
terminal 52. The control terminal 52 is connected with the drive mechanism 2.
Preferably, the control mechanism 5 comprises two control arms 51 for the
operator to control with both hands. By controlling the control arms 51, the
bracket 31 can be controlled at different angles relative to the ground so
that the
to
bristles 32 at different positions of the bracket 31 are able to get in touch
with the
road to sweep the snow to different positions.
As shown in Fig. 2, when the brush 3 is turned clockwise, the upper edge of
the brush 3 is to sweep right and the lower edge of the brush 3 is to sweep
left.
The bracket 31 can be adjusted for different angles relative to the ground so
that
all the bristles 32 are able to get in touch with the ground to sweep the snow
to
different positions.
Thus, through the drive mechanism 2 and the first transmission mechanism 4
of the present invention, the bristles 32 of the brush 3 are turned so that
the
bristles 32 can sweep the snow or dirt on the road and the snow are gathered
at
the roadside. The sweeping power of the present invention is provided by the
drive mechanism 2 to lower the labor greatly and to enhance the working
efficiency
so the cost is low. In addition, the present invention is composed of the
aforesaid
parts, having the feature of small size, so the present invention won't hinder
the
traffic or damage the ground.
For the operator to operate conveniently and for saving the labor, the
sweeping car 100 with one-brush further comprises a second transmission
mechanism (not shown in the drawings). The second transmission mechanism is
arranged between the drive mechanism 2 and the wheels 11 to transmit the power
from the drive mechanism 2 to the wheels 11, so that the turning power of the
4

wheels is also provided by the drive mechanism 2. Through the control arm 51,
the operator can control the direction of the wheels 11.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been
described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and
enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the
present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited
except
as by the appended claims.
