Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a heating device for a dog kennel, and relates to a heating device using an electric heating element provided on the floor of the dog kennel.

``Prior Art'' A dog house commonly used in the past has a box with a roof, has a lattice window on one side or multiple sides of the outer periphery, and has a hinged door on the front side as an entrance.
The floor was covered with floorboards.

``Problems that the invention aims to solve'' By the way, although the above-mentioned dog kennels are open with lattice windows on the surrounding wall and have good circulation with outside air and are hygienic, on the other hand, they suffer from the cold in winter. There is a concern that dog kennels installed outdoors during this period may harm the health of dogs due to the effects of severe cold and cold air, and from the standpoint of dog health, it is necessary to install a heat insulator or heating device in the dog kennel.

Therefore, in the present invention, a heating device is installed by an appropriate means to maintain an appropriate temperature inside the dog kennel during the winter, thereby providing a dog kennel that can make the dog's life comfortable and maintain its health.

``Means for solving the problem'' In order to achieve the above purpose, an appropriate space is provided between the floorboard and the bottom wall of the dog house, and the floorboard is arranged so that the heating device is housed in that space. A shallow box-shaped cover plate (heating enclosure plate) is provided at the bottom, and its upper end is supported by the floorboard.In order to effectively install an electric heating plate inside the cover plate, the lower part of the cover plate is A heat reflecting plate is stretched along the bottom surface of the floorboard, an air layer is interposed above the reflective plate, an electric heating plate is stretched along the lower side of the floorboard, and a gap is provided between each of the plates. The inner space of the cover plate is made into a continuous flow state, and a thermostat is installed in the center of the floor plate, and this is connected to the conductor extending from the electric heating plate, and the free end of the conductor is connected so that the conductor can be freely connected to and disconnected from the power source. It is equipped with an outlet plug.

``Function'' When the conductor is connected to a power source, electricity is passed through the electric heating plate and heat is generated, which warms the floorboard through the air layer and the internal space of the cover plate, and gradually propagates upward, causing the area near the dog house to heat up. It is heated accordingly. The temperature control function of the thermostat ensures that the appropriate temperature is always maintained. In this case, the radiant heat that propagates upward from the top surface of the electric heating plate directly hits the floorboard and warms it, but the radiant heat that propagates downward from the bottom surface of the heating board hits the reflector and is reflected and returns upward again, generating heat. The reflective plate prevents external heat radiation from the covering plate, increasing the thermal efficiency of the plate.

Therefore, the radiant heat does not propagate downward from the reflecting plate, but residual heat due to convection is retained in the lower part of the cover plate.

"Example" An example of the present invention will be explained with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in the schematic diagram in Fig. 1, dog house A has a roof plate 1 stretched on the upper end surface of a six-sided box in a one-sided slope, and a lattice window 2 is provided on the right side at the front of the outer periphery. At the same time, an entrance and a door (not shown) are provided in the left-hand broken part, the other three sides are surrounded by wall plates 3, and a floor plate 5 is placed on the bottom at an appropriate distance above the bottom wall 4. By doing so, a certain space is formed below the bottom plate. A heating device is installed with the following configuration so as to be housed in the space.

As shown in FIG. 2, which is a vertical cross-sectional view of the heating device, a thermostat 6 is fitted into the center of the floor plate 5 and placed at a predetermined interval from the bottom wall 4 by means of floor plate holders 7, 7. However, a pair of sliding rails 8, 8 are provided parallel to each other at the front and rear of the lower surface of the floor plate 5. Also, by placing the bent edges 9a, 9a, which are obtained by bending the front and rear upper edges of the cover plate 9 outward, on the sliding rails 8, 8 and slidably engaging them, the cover plate 9 can be attached to both sides. The drawers are provided along the rails so that they can be pulled out and pushed in freely.

Further, inside the covering plate, a reflecting plate 10 is placed and stretched along the bottom surface of the covering plate at the lower part thereof, with both front and rear edges thereof bent downward, and an air layer is provided above the reflecting plate 10. An electric heating plate 12 is stretched along the lower side of the floorboard 5 with a heating plate 11 interposed therebetween. The air layer 11 and the inner spaces 13, 13', 13'' of the cover plate are configured to communicate with each other.

A conductive wire 14 is extended from the side end of the electric heating plate 12 in the cover plate, and a plug 15 is attached to the free end of the conductive wire 14 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). still,
A conductive wire 14' extending from a thermostat fitted in the center of the floorboard is connected to the base of the conductive wire 14.

As shown in the exploded view of FIG. 3, air circulation holes 16 are provided at the four corners of the reflector 10, and
A small hole 17 provided near the outside of the communication hole is a fixing hole for the electric heating plate 12. The through hole 9b on one side end face of the cover plate 9 serves as a finger insertion hole and an air circulation hole when the cover plate is pulled out and pushed in.

Since the configuration of this embodiment is as described above, when electricity is applied to the electric heating plate through the conductor wire, heat is generated and the floorboard is warmed by radiant heat emitted from the upper surface of the heating plate, but radiant heat is emitted downward from the lower surface of the heating plate. Since the heat is reflected by the reflecting plate and returns to the heat generating plate, the reflected heat increases the thermal efficiency of the heat generating plate and prevents heat radiation from the covering plate to the outside.

Note that the air circulation holes provided at the four corners of the reflector plate cause air to convect between the reflector plate and the cover plate, and are transmitted upward.

In addition, a thermostat installed in the center of the floorboard adjusts the amount of heat generated to maintain an appropriate temperature on the floor of the kennel.

``Effect of the invention'' Due to the above-mentioned action, it is possible to maintain an appropriate temperature on the floor of the dog house at all times, providing a comfortable living environment for the dog and maintaining the health of the dog. With effective management, dog kennels can be placed outdoors without suffering from cold damage.

In addition, this heating device has a pull-out cover plate on the bottom of the floorboard, so it is convenient because you can pull it out and remove it from the dog kennel when it is not needed. It can be removed to widen the area under the floor, allowing air to circulate under the floor, allowing the dog house to be used hygienically, and also being easy to handle when cleaning.
