Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a snow-melting roof that efficiently melts snow.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas]

Snow melting on roofs with long tile rod structures is often done by attaching elongated, thin, box-shaped snow melting panels that are approximately the same height as the tile rods between the parallel tile rods, and heating these snow melting panels. There is.

However, this method has a problem with the structure of installing and fixing the snow melting panel, and since the snow melting panel is attached directly to the roof surface, the back side of the snow melting panel gets wet with snow melting water or rainwater, so the thermal energy of the snow melting panel is lost to water. There is a drawback that the roof snow melting cannot be carried out properly due to the snow being absorbed by the roof.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention is intended to solve these drawbacks, and the structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a snow melting roof in which a long thin box-shaped snow melting panel 3 having approximately the same height as the tile bars 2 is attached between the parallel tile bars of a roof 1 having a long tile bar structure, a support plate 4 is attached to the roof surface on which the snow melting panel 3 is attached. On this support plate 4, downwardly protruding grooves 4' are arranged in parallel with the tile rods, and these grooves 4' form a small gap between the lower surface of the snow melting panel 3 and the roof 1 surface. This relates to a snow-melting roof that is characterized by a snow-melting roof.

[Effect]

When the snow melting panel 3 is heated, the snow on the roof 1 is melted by the thermal energy of the snow melting panel 3, and the snow melting panel 3 is attached to the roof surface via a support plate 4 with parallel grooves 4'. A running water gap is formed between the lower surface of the snow melting panel 3 and the upper surface of the roof surface, and snow melting water and rainwater flow down not on the back surface of the snow melting panel 3 but on the roof 1 surface.

〔Example〕

The support plate 4 in the drawing shows a case where a commercially available rib-shaped plate cut to an appropriate width is attached to an appropriate location on the back surface of the snow melting panel 3, but a corrugated plate may also be used. It is sufficient if a small gap is formed between the two surfaces.

Further, the support plate 4 may be laid at an appropriate location on the back surface of the snow melting panel 3 as shown in the drawing, or may be laid on the entire back surface.

The snow melting panel 3 shown in the drawing includes a light insulating material 5 such as Styrofoam that is lightweight and has good heat retention properties, covered with a board material 6 that has good thermal conductivity, and a water pipe 7 inside the heat insulating material 5.
The figure shows a case where the water is buried in a meandering manner and heated by sending hot water into the water pipe 7.
It is also possible to blow hot air, but the key is to use the snow melting panel 3.
Any method that heats the air is fine.

Moreover, if connecting plates 8 with good thermal conductivity are connected and fixed between the adjacent edges of adjacent snow melting panels 3 in a state that hides the tile rods 2, the snow melting effect is further improved.

Further, an upper pipe 9 is provided at the top of the roof 1, one end of the water pipe 7 is connected to the upper pipe 9, a lower pipe 10 is attached to the eaves, and the other end of the water pipe 7 is connected to the lower pipe 10. This shows the case where they are connected to circulate hot water for snow melting.

Reference numeral 11 in the figure is a snow stopper.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention lays a support plate on the roof surface on which the snow melting panel is attached, and on this support plate, grooves protruding downward are arranged parallel to the tile rods, and these grooves connect the bottom surface of the snow melting panel. Because a small gap is formed between the snow melting panel and the roof surface, the snowmelt water and rainwater does not flow around the back side of the snowmelting panel like in the conventional case, and the rainwater flows down on the roof surface, so the heat from the snow melting panel is transferred to the snowmelt water and rainwater. Snow will not be taken away by rainwater, and snow will be melted more efficiently.

Furthermore, since the grooves provided on this support plate are arranged parallel to the tile rods, they do not impede the flow of snow melting water or rainwater, and they support the snow melting panel well, allowing the connection between the snow melting panel and the roof surface. A small gap is formed between the
This gap allows for good ventilation, resulting in a snow-melting roof that exhibits excellent practicality, such as preventing rust on the roof surface.
