Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a snow melter that prevents snow accumulated on the roof from sliding off and melts it. One side is made of a mesh body, and hot air is blown into the outer skin that is attached to the roof. It is characterized by a duct pipe with a discharge hole inserted through it.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof. In this embodiment, the snow melter consists of a multifaceted outer skin 1 and a duct pipe 10. The outer skin 1 is a bent metal plate, and a mesh body 2 made of punched metal or the like is attached to one side of the outer skin 1 by welding, bolting, or the like. In this embodiment, the outer skin has a triangular structure, is given strength against external forces and pressure, and is mounted on the roof. For this reason, a bracket 3, which is attached to the roof, is fixed to the side surface other than the side surface where the mesh body 2 is located. Therefore, snow falls onto the mesh body 2 after it is attached to the roof. The outer skin 1 has a hollow shape, and a duct pipe 10 is inserted inside. The duct pipe 10 is led out from inside the house, inserted through the outer skin 1, and then introduced indoors, so that warm indoor air circulates inside the duct pipe 10. In this duct pipe 10,
A large number of discharge holes 1 are provided in the portion of the outer skin 1 facing the mesh body 2.
1 is opened, and the structure is such that warm air guided into the duct pipe 10 is blown onto the mesh body 2. Therefore, the snow that has fallen onto the mesh body 2 is melted by the warm air, and snow accumulation on the roof is suppressed. In addition, even if a large amount of snow does not melt initially and accumulates on the roof, the outer skin acts as a snow stopper and prevents the snow from sliding off. 2 prevents snow from entering the outer skin 1 from the mesh body 2. As a result, the discharge hole 11 is not clogged with snow, and warm air is continuously blown out, so that the snow accumulated on the outer skin 1 gradually melts.
In this case, the warm air is generated by using the air accumulated in the attic or the like indoors, and there is no need for a separate heater or the like, so the operating cost can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the mesh body is provided on one side, but it may be provided on two sides, and although the outer skin has a triangular structure, it may have a square structure or a hexagonal structure.

As described above, according to the present invention, snow on the outer skin can be melted by the warm air blown from the duct pipe, so snow accumulation on the roof can be prevented. It also has the effect of preventing the snow from sliding off even if it accumulates on the roof.
