Structural Design and Simulation Analysis of a New Type of Road De-Icing Roller

This article designs a new type of road de-icing roller. Based on the physical properties of ice and snow on urban roads, theoretical design calculations are performed on the de-icing roller, and the resistance torque and tangential working resistance during operation are obtained. The results indicate that the performance of the ZL50 loader is sufficient for the de-icing roller to operate normally. The finite element simulation method is employed for static analysis, fatigue analysis, modal analysis, and transient dynamics analysis. The results indicate that, under both static load conditions for the de-icing roller shaft and dynamic load conditions due to the de-icing roller impacting the ice layer, the strength, stiffness, and service life meet the design requirements. There is no risk of resonance coupling between the de-icing roller and the loader during operation. This study provides a reliable theoretical basis for the structural optimization and engineering application of road de-icing roller drums.
