BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere usually within clouds and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes. It consists of frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere, increase to millimeter size, precipitate and accumulate on surfaces and ultimately melt, slide or sublimate away. Snow flake accumulation concerns become increasingly more pronounce as people become litigation conscientious or to the aging population in the suburban areas where the practical and financial demands and cost attendant the removal of snow increases. The residential occupants required to remove snow from the sidewalks, passageways and the like of their house by themselves.

[0003] Traditionally, such snow removal is generally accomplished manually with the use of such devices as snow shovels, mechanical assisted shovels, snow blowers and plows. The snow shovels and mechanical assisted shovels are used and operated manually. The user required to apply the force manually by his hands which causes problem and sometimes injuries to the user. The snow blowers and plows may be electrically or gasoline actuated. In all of the above recited means of snow removal, they each require one or more persons to physically utilize such tools or devices while exposed to the inclement weather conditions during or after a snow storm. Consequently, there has arisen a need to provide an unmanned automatic removal tools which provide a convenient means for preventing the accumulation and removal of unwanted fallen snow from selected ingress and egress passageways of residential and certain commercial properties.

[0004] US5550349A discloses about an unmanned snow prevention and removal system is provided which prevents or eliminates the accumulation of falling snow in selected ingress and egress passageways on the ground, such as sidewalks and driveways. An array of disposed parallel linear cooperative panels is provided covering such passageways upon which the accumulated falling snow is caught, and is subsequently intermittently and automatically thrown off such panels on either side of their respective lengths by their sweeping motion through an arc of a circle from an initial near horizontal intersecting position by an electrical motor drive. Removal of accumulated snow from the panel array during their sweeping-throw and return motion as a result of the snow sliding downward of the panels is assisted by the provision of electrical heater elements disposed along the full length thereof and contained within the body of each panel which enables the accumulated snow to slide off the panel more readily. Operation of the system may be controlled by electrical controls at the site of the panel array or by means of a remote electrical control device connected thereto by electrical wiring cables which provide the electrical signals needed to operate the system. US'49A discloses about an unmanned snow prevention and removal system that eliminates the accumulation of falling snow in selected ingress and egress passageways on the ground. However, cited invention lacks in aiding means to the user in removing the snow/ice by cutting of ice layer deposited on surface such as driveways, roofs road-sideways in efficient and precise manner.

[0005] US6184496B1 discloses about a relatively lightweight and easy to use flexible heating mat for melting snow and ice that can be cut in the field to custom length or to accommodate direction changes or avoid obstructions.

The heating mat may be activated remotely or manually and can be powered from either end of the heating mat. Nonskid patterns ate typically included in heating mats used on driveways and walkways. US'6B1 discloses about a relatively lightweight and easy to use flexible heating mat for melting snow and ice. However, cited invention lacks in monitoring weight of the collected snow and notify the user regarding the exceeded weight, if monitored weight exceeds a threshold level.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed that are capable of removing snow or ice. However, these devices are incapable in aiding means to the user in removing the snow/ice by cutting of ice layer deposited on surface such as driveways, roofs road-sideways in efficient and precise manner by reducing human effort and excessive time taken. Also fail in monitoring weight of the collected snow and notify the user regarding the exceeded weight, if monitored weight exceeds a threshold level.

[0023] The proposed device includes an extendable body 101 having a proximal and distal end. The extendable body 101 as disclosed in the present invention is made up of any material selected from but not limited to metallic material alike utilize to position over a snow surface. The body 101 is equipped with a handle 201 that is crafted with the proximal portion that is gripped by a user to position the body 101 over a snow/ice that is to be removed. Further, a cavity is crafted in the handle 201 and installed with a pair of sliders 202 equipped with plurality of slots 203 range in between 4 to 6 in numbers that are accessed by the user to insert user's fingers to grip the handle 201.

[0024] The plurality of slots 203 are integrated with the sliders 202 that are by the user to insert their fingers, which facilitating a firm grip on the handle 201, herein the pair of sliders 202 consists of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the slider moves. This involves the use of ball bearings. The slider incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the slider carriage along the rail unit to translate the plurality of slots 203 in order to ensure smooth inserting of user's fingers into handle 201 for secure grip.

[0025] Further, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 102 installed over the body 101 and integrated with a processor for capturing and processing images of the user. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 102 is equipped with AI (Artificial Intelligent) protocols encrypted in the microcontroller are used to process and analyses the images captured by the camera enabling it to perform various tasks beyond traditional image capturing. The AI analysis is performed locally on the camera itself and the real-time processing on the camera enables immediate responses and faster decision-making.

[0026] The camera, herein captures images of the user with the help of specialized lenses designed to capture high-quality visuals. The captured data is now pre-processed via the processor to enhance its quality and prepare it for AI analysis. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information present in the images. Based on extraction of the data from the captured images, the microcontroller determines height of the user. Based on determined height of the user, the microcontroller actuates a pneumatic unit installed in the body 101 to provide appropriate extension to the body 101 in accordance with the detected height.

[0027] The pneumatic unit as mentioned above comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends due to which provide appropriate extension to the body 101 in accordance with the detected height.

[0028] Afterwards, an extendable curved plate 103 installed with the distal end for collecting the snow/ice. Herein a microphone 104 is installed over the body 101 to receive voice command of the user regarding extension of the plate 103. The microphone 104 receives sound waves generated by energy emitted from the voice command in the form of vibrations. After then, the sound waves are transmitted towards a diaphragm configured with a coil.

[0029] Upon transmitting the waves within the diaphragm, the diaphragm strikes with the waves due to which the coil starts moving the diaphragm with a back-and-forth movement in presence of magnetic field generated from the coil. After that the electric signal is emitted from the coil due to back-and-forth movement of the diaphragm which is further transmitted to the microcontroller linked with the microphone 104 to process the signal to analyze the signal for detecting voice command given by the user. Upon processing the voice commands, the microcontroller actuates a motorized drawer arrangement installed in the plate 103 to provide extension to the plate 103.

[0030] The motorized drawer arrangement as installed in the plate 103 to provide extension to the plate 103. The motorized drawer arrangement as disclosed herein is comprises of a carriage assembly and a DC (direct current) motor that works in collaboration to extend and retract the plate 103. The carriage assembly fitted with two rails that are used for sliding the block up and down. The block opening located at the end of the rail and have two clips that are used to secure the ring with the barrel. To extend the drawer, the drawer is pushed to open and the carriage assembly slide outward. This creates an opening to allow extension to the plate 103.

[0031] Upon extending the plate 103, the microcontroller actuates a motorized sliding unit 105 installed over front portion of the plate 103 and actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to plurality of pneumatic teeth 106 range in between 6 to 8 in numbers configured with the sliding unit 105, wherein in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding cutting of ice, the microcontroller actuates the sliding unit 105 to provide translation to the teeth 106.

[0032] The sliding unit 105, herein discloses consists of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the slider moves. This involves the use of ball bearings. The slider incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the sliding unit 105 carriage along the rail unit to translate plurality of pneumatic teeth 106 configured with the sliding unit 105 in a to and fro manner and in contact with the ice in order to cut the ice.

[0033] Synchronously, pneumatic teeth 106 are actuated by the microcontroller to extend and position in contact with the ice in view of inserting the teeth 106 within the ice to assist in lifting of the ice. The pneumatic teeth 106 as disclosed above is works on pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston. The air valve that allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends and position in contact with the ice in view of inserting the teeth 106 within the ice to assist in lifting of the ice.

[0034] Furthermore, a sharp pointed pole 107 configured with the body 101 by means of a motorized double rack and gear arrangement 108 that is actuated by the microcontroller to provide translation to the pole 107 in forward and backward direction. The motorized double rack and gear arrangement 108 is a commonly used method for converting rotational motion into linear motion that is consists of the rack and the pinion gear. The rack is a long, flat gear with teeth 106 along its length. It resembles a straight bar with gear teeth 106 cut into one side. The pinion, on the other hand, is a small gear with teeth 106 that engage with the teeth 106 of the rack. The pinion is typically mounted on a rotating shaft. When the pinion rotates, its teeth 106 mesh with the teeth 106 of the rack, causing the rack to move linearly. The direction and distance of the rack's movement depend on the direction and extent of rotation of the pinion. The working principle of the rack and pinion mechanism is based on the concept of converting rotational motion into linear motion. As the pinion gear rotates, the teeth 106 of the pinion push against the teeth 106 of the rack, resulting in the rack's translation to the pole 107 in forward and backward direction. And in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding breaking of hard ice, the microcontroller actuates the arrangement to provide translation to the pole 107 in forward direction in order to hit the hard ice with force via the pole 107 for breaking the hard ice, herein a force sensor installed over the pole 107 to monitor force applied by the pole 107 over the hard ice.

[0035] The force sensor as mentioned above comprises of a sensing element known as diaphragm that experiences a force exerted pole 107 over the hard ice while breaking the hard ice. This force leads to deflection in the diaphragm that is measured by the sensor and converted into an electrical signal which is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller upon receiving the signal compares the received signal with the pre-fed data stored in the microcontroller database and based on the compared data, the microcontroller monitors force applied by the pole 107 over the hard ice and in case the monitored force is detected to be receding a threshold value the microcontroller directs the arrangement to regulate translational speed of the pole 107.

[0036] Consequently, a weight sensor is installed overs aid plate 103 to monitor weight of the collected snow. The weight sensor as mentioned above is comprises of a convoluted diaphragm and a sensing module. Due to the weight of collected snow, the size of the diaphragm changes which is detected by the sensing module. The sensing module detects the changes and on the basis of the changes in sizes of the diaphragm, the acquired data is forwarded to the microcontroller in the form of a signal for further processing. The microcontroller upon receiving the signal compares the received signal with the pre-fed data stored in the microcontroller database and based on the compared data, the microcontroller monitor weight of the collected snow.

[0037] And in case the monitored weight exceeds a threshold level, the microcontroller actuates a speaker installed over the body 101 to notify the user regarding the exceeded weight. The speaker as mentioned above works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm's vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the user regarding the exceeded weight.

[0038] Further, a damping unit 109 is configured between the handle 201 and body 101 to absorb impact experienced by the body 101 while removing the snow/ice. The damping unit 109 as mentioned above consists of shock absorbers that are often made from the material like rubber or springs, designed to compress and release under pressure, thereby absorb impact experienced by the body 101 while removing the snow/ice.

[0039] Moreover, in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding melting of the snow/ice, the microcontroller actuates plurality of Peltier units 110 ranging in between 4 to 6 in numbers that are installed over the plate 103 to produce heat in view of melting the snow/ice accommodated over the plate 103. The Peltier unit as mentioned above is consists of two semiconductor plate 103s, known as Peltier plate 103s, connected in series and sandwiched between two ceramic plate 103s. When an electric current is applied to the Peltier unit, one side of the unit absorbs heat from its surroundings, while the other side releases heat, thereby melting the snow/ice accommodated over the plate 103.

[0040] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so they effectively carry out their appropriate functions.

[0041] The proposed device works best in the following manner, where the extendable body 101 having a proximal and distal end, the handle 201 is crafted with the proximal portion gripped by the user to position the body 101 over a snow/ice that is to be removed, herein the cavity is crafted in the handle 201 and installed with a pair of sliders 202 equipped with plurality of slots 203 that are accessed by the user to insert user's fingers to grip the handle 201. Further, the artificial intelligence based imaging unit 102 captures and processes images of the user. Based on the captured images the microcontroller linked with the processor, determines height of the user, based on which the microcontroller actuates the pneumatic unit that provides appropriate extension to the body 101 in accordance with the detected height. Afterwards, the extendable curved plate 103 collects the snow/ice. Synchronously, the microphone 104 receives voice command of the user regarding extension of the plate 103, based on which the microcontroller actuates the motorized drawer arrangement in order to provide extension to the plate 103. Further, the motorized sliding unit 105 provides translation to plurality of pneumatic teeth 106. And in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding cutting of ice, the microcontroller actuates the sliding unit 105 to provide translation to the teeth 106 in a to and fro manner and in contact with the ice in order to cut the ice.

[0042] In continuation, the sharp pointed pole 107 by means of a motorized double rack and gear arrangement 108 provides translation to the pole 107 in forward and backward direction, in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding breaking of hard ice, the microcontroller actuates the arrangement to provide translation to the pole 107 in forward direction in order to hit the hard ice with force via the pole 107 for breaking the hard ice, herein the force sensor monitors force applied by the pole 107 over the hard ice and in case the monitored force is detected to be receding a threshold value the microcontroller directs the arrangement to regulate translational speed of the pole 107. Consequently, the weight sensor monitors weight of the collected snow and in case the monitored weight exceeds a threshold level, the microcontroller actuates the speaker that notifies the user regarding the exceeded weight, pneumatic teeth 106 are actuated by the to extend and position in contact with the ice in view of inserting the teeth 106 within the ice to assist in lifting of the ice. Moreover, the damping unit 109 absorbs impact experienced by the body 101 while removing the snow/ice, in case the user by means of the microphone 104 provides command regarding melting of the snow/ice, the microcontroller actuates plurality of Peltier units 110 installed over the plate 103 in order to produce heat in view of melting the snow/ice accommodated over the plate 103.
