Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of heating and /or ventilation devices for outdoor spaces. More particularly, the invention relates to a modular system assemblable to form a paving with one or more heating and /or ventilation platforms, in particular one or more platforms according to the preamble of claim 1.
- heating platforms As an alternative to gas mushroom heaters, heating platforms have been suggested which, once placed on the ground, diffuse heat from the bottom, exploiting the principle of air convection.
- Some heating platforms use resistors running under the walking surface; electric current flows through the resistors and due to the Joule effect they are heated, thus transmitting heat to the surrounding air, the latter tending to naturally move upwards, flowing from the bottom over a user situated on the platform.
- the employed resistors have a relatively high cost against a relatively low efficiency.
- platforms are provided with a plurality of ducts within which resistors are arranged; ducts run below the walking surface and an air flow is forced within the ducts by a fan, the air flow being warmed up by the resistors.
- ducts In order for air to go out, ducts have nozzles placed in the proximity of some holes provided on the walking surface, thus the hot air flow reaches an area above the walking surface.
- the temperature reached by the air flowing in the ducts provided with the resistors is strictly related to the time the air remains in the proximity of the resistors; briefly, this causes the air coming out from nozzles placed at the end of a duct to have a temperature higher than the air coming out from nozzles placed at the beginning of the same duct.
- the platform could also have regions which are not enough heated and regions which are overheated. Secondly, it is necessary to accurately design every single platform depending on its length, above all in the case of large platforms.
- the duct is very long, in order to uniformly spread the air both at the beginning and at the end of the duct, it is necessary to accurately design the nozzles to have suitable dimensions by reducing their ouput cross-sections, so that dimensions of the nozzles placed very far away from the duct inlet are so small that they become uneconomic to produce.
- a further drawback resulting therefrom is related to the fact that such nozzles have different dimensions throughout the plan extension of the platform, and have to be properly masked (without changing their dimensions) so as to make the platform aesthetically acceptable.
- the air flow generating means are designed and installed specifically for the platform desired to be made, with the further drawback that in the case of platforms with a large extension a high air flow rate is necessary, with the consequence that such means have considerable dimensions.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a thermal platform that produces a uniform heat, that is easily installable and maintainable, that is easily designable and that can undergo changes in the position and dimensions without the need of making it ex-novo or without the need of replacing essential structural parts.
- the basic idea of the present invention is to provide a thermal platform comprising a walking surface provided with a plurality of apertures, a supporting structure for the walking surface, air flow generating means, at least a air heating device and a heating chamber wherein the air heating device is housed.
- the heating chamber is delimited on the top by the walking surface, which in turn covers also the air flow generating means.
- the thermal platform realized in this way is an independent module, which can have even a small size (preferably smaller than 1 sq. m), and which can be connected to other like modules/platforms such to form a paving with variable dimensions.
- the invention therefore relates also to such a paving.
- the platform in order to improve the modularity of the suggested system, can further comprise interconnection means that allow the transmission to external devices, such as for example another platform, of electric supply voltage and /or data, such as control data to the control units of the external devices.
- external devices such as for example another platform, of electric supply voltage and /or data, such as control data to the control units of the external devices.
- the platform comprises a pre-heating chamber allowing the temperature of the air drawn into the heating chamber to raise. Such solution improves the platform efficiency.
- the bottom of the platform is of the pivoting type and therefore is takes a closed position where it delimits the heating chamber, and an open position where, in the inclined condition, allows the discharge of dirt and liquids that may get accumulated into the heating chamber.
- the walking surface comprises a pluraliy of boards arranged one near the other, but not in direct contact, such to leave a gap constituting the aperture for distributing air from the heating chamber 31 to the outside.
- boards have such a shape that the empty volume between the boards increases as it moves away from the heating chamber, so as to improve air diffusion.
- the platform can be provided with lights for improving the walking action or in general the lighting of the environment where it is placed.
- lights are preferably placed at the apertures provided on the walking surface, and particularly they can be led strips or neon lamps running along the apertures defined by the boards of the walking surface.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view partially in phantom lines of a thermal platform according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along the plane AA of figure 1 of the thermal platform of figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the platform of the previous figures provided with a first improvement
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of the platform of the previous figures provided with a second improvement
- Figure 5 is a top view of a paving comprising a plurality of platforms according to the present invention.
- Figure 6 is a top view of the walking surface of the platform of the previous figures;
- Figure 7 is a sectional view of the walking surface of the previous figure.
- Figures 1 and 2 show two different views of a thermal platform according to the present invention, generally denoted by reference numeral 1.
- the platform 1 on the top comprises a walking surface 2 provided with a plurality of apertures 20 shown in the detail of figure 6.
- the walking surface 2 comprises a plurality of apertures 20 arranged throughout its extension, for the fluid communication between the heating chamber 31 and the outer environment in a region above the walking surface.
- the walking surface 2 is composed of a plurality of boards 21 arranged one near the other but not immediately adjacent to one another, such that between one board and another there is a continuous gap extending throughout at least one entire plan dimension of the surface 2, for example for the whole length thereof; such gaps between a board 21 and another, in this example, constitute the apertures 20.
- the boards 21 are advantageously made of any material resistant to the effects of the outer environment, for example concrete, (suitably treated) wood, plastic material or the like.
- walking surfaces 2 that, even if provided with the apertures 20, are not composed of boards 21: examples of this type can be reticulated plates made of steel, aluminium, stone or the like or even suitable porous materials.
- Platform 1 comprises also a supporting structure 3, the walking surface resting thereon.
- Structure 3 can be made of a folded metal sheet or other materials such as synthetic polymers or a part thereof with metals of different alloys.
- the bottom side of the supporting structure 3 is connected to a plurality of resting feet 4 extending to the ground and height-adjustable, they being provided for example with a screw body or the like, so as to horizontally adjust the walking surface 2.
- Such supporting structure 3 extends at least along the edges of the walking surface 2, like a frame; advantageously, in order to strengthen the platform 1 transverse stiffening beams 35 can be provided which extend underneath the walking surface 2.
- transverse stiffening beams 35 can be provided which extend underneath the walking surface 2.
- Such beams 35 reduce the tendency of the walking surface 2 to bend, especially when the latter is made of not particularly rigid materials; the position and the shapes of such beams 35 can vary depending on needs without departing from the teachings of the present invention.
- beams 35 allow the platform to have an overall compressive strength of 600 Kg.
- beams 35 comprise threads intended to receive screws situated into the boards 21 of the walking surface 2.
- the stability and safey of the platform 1 are improved.
- a main heating chamber 31 wherein a plurality of air heaters 7 are housed, for example electrical resistors that get heated by the Joule effect.
- the heating chamber 31 on the top is delimited by the walking surface 2 and the platform 1 comprises means 6 generating an air flow passing through the main heating chamber 31 and then passing out through the apertures 20.
- structure 3 is a box-like structure defining at least three perimetral side walls and the bottom wall of the chamber 31, wherein the heaters 7 are housed: thus between the heaters 7 and the walking surface 2 there are no nozzles (unlike known solutions of the prior art), but, on the contrary, heaters 7 operate in the same chamber 31 delimited on the top by the surface 2, making the manufacturing of the assembly easier and solving the drawbacks related to the presence of the air flow conveyed into the ducts under the surface 2 as in the known solution.
- Chamber 31 occupies about 65% of the plan extension of the walking surface 2 and the air flow supplied therein by means of fans 6 generates a kind of "air cushion" that remains for a certain time in contact with the heaters 7.
- the chamber 31 houses three heaters 7 having an elongated shape, substantially like a trapezoidal bar, extending transversally to the air flow generated by the means 6, that in this example are standard fans, controlled by a control unit 33, arranged under the walking surface at the entrance of the chamber 31.
- Such heating uniformity is further enhanced by the presence of a pre-heating chamber 30 placed upstream of the heating chamber 31.
- Such pre-heating chamber 30 is in communication with the outer environment by at least one intake duct 9 and is in fluid communication with the heating chamber 31 via the fans 6 described above.
- intake duct 9 has a protection grid, preferably with meshes of about 1 sq. cm, preventing animals from entering within the pre-heating chamber.
- the pre-heating chamber is completely contained into the structure 3, under the walking surface 2 of the platform.
- a pre-heater 10 for example a resistor, raising the temperature of the ambient air drawn in by the duct 9, such that, when it enters into the heating chamber 31 it has already a value higher than the ambient air.
- the pre-heating chamber 30 is immediately adjacent to the heating chamber 31 and a thermal convection partition wall 11 is arranged therebetween, for example a metal plate.
- a thermal convection partition wall 11 is arranged therebetween, for example a metal plate.
- Pre-heating chamber 30 is also housed within the structure 3, under the walking surface 2 and only at one side of the heating chamber 31.
- the overall arrangement of the platform 1 provides the perimetral side walls and in case the bottom wall of the structure 3 to be insulated with a layer 15 of rockwool or the like: thus losses of heat outside the inner volumes (pre-heating and heating chambers) heated by the resistors 7 and 10 are avoided.
- Platform 1 is further provided with a control unit 33 operatively connected to the fans 6 and/or to the resistors 7 and 10.
- Platform 1 optionally comprises also temperature sensors arranged within the chamber 30 and /or 31 so as to monitor temperatures of the air therein; such sensors in this case are connected to the control unit 33 that controls the operation of the fans and/or the resistors 7, 10 such to maintain preferred temperature ranges within the chambers 30 and 31.
- control unit 33 is configured so as to operate the platform in a "summer" mode, that is in order to ventilate the above space without heating it.
- resistors are switched off and the fans are controlled in order to force air into chamber 31 and then out through the apertures 20 defined in the walking surface.
- fans can be both operated or it is possible to operate only one of them, such to vary the air flow directed above the walking surface.
- control unit 33 is provided with a receiver, preferably a radiofrequency receiver, able to receive control signals transmitted by a user by means of a suitable controller (eg. a remote control).
- a suitable controller eg. a remote control
- the control unit is provided with a port for the connection to a communication line, for example a data line of an ethernet network.
- the platform can be connected to a data network and can be controlled from a remote location, for example placed in a location different than the one where the platform is installed.
- such remote location can be the control station of a domotic network.
- the control unit 33 is programmed so as to receive commands from the control station of the domotic network, for example commands for the activation at specific times, or deactivation commands when too high electric consumption is reached within the overall domotic network.
- the platform is provided with a wireless transceiver, such to be put into a wirless data network and such not to require wires.
- Platform 1 comprises also power supply means, such as electric sockets, of the type known per se and no further details are given herein.
- the control unit 33 is provided with a power line communication modem for the communication over the electric network.
- the platform 1 can be installed alone and so can heat a small area, or, advantageously, it is a part of a modular paving P such as shown in figure 5.
- paving P comprises a plurality of platforms 1 such as the one described above which are adjacent one another in order to realize the preferred embodiment.
- Platforms 1 in this case can be powered in series or in parallel, depending on needs and on simplicity of installation.
- the platform 1 is equipped with suitable electrical connectors that allow to receive an input power supply voltage (eg. 220V @50Hz or 110V @60Hz) and to supply the same output voltage.
- an input power supply voltage eg. 220V @50Hz or 110V @60Hz
- a first module is connected to the mains, while the following ones receive the power supply directly from the adjacent modules.
- each platform 1 is equipped with a data module able to receive data from a data line and to transmit again them (with or without regeneration) to the next module.
- the ambient air is drawn in by means of fans 6 that generate a slight depression in the pre-heating chamber 30, such to generate an air flow directed from the outer environment towards the pre-heating chamber 30.
- boards 21 have a trapezoidal section, so that the cross- section of the apertures 20 increases in the direction from the chamber 31 towards the outside, and in particular a "V" shaped cross-section, such as shown in the annexed figure 7.
- boards can have two flat parallel surfaces (the smallest one intended to be walked on) connected by sides following an exponential or parabolic profile.
- apertures formed in this way define a volume that, as in the case of boards with a trapezoidal section, increases as it proceeds away from the heating chamber 31.
- the angle subtended between the side and the lower face of the board (that is the one not intended to be walked on) is preferred to be more than 90°, such that the apertures 20 have a channel that, for an initial portion, is almost straight, widening more clearly in the proximity of the outside of the platform.
- This characteristic improves diffusion of the air towards the outside and allows a kind of "air cushion” to be maintained inside the chamber 31, due to the pressure drop of the air flow at the output area and at the progressively wider cross-sectional area.
- Figure 3 shows another one of such improvements: in order to avoid dirt falling on the walking surface 2 from clogging the apertures 20, the latter have a specific width, preferably ranging from 1 mm to 8 mm, and even more preferably ranging from 3 to 5 mm.
- the bottom wall 36 of the chamber 31 is made as a pivoting one, such that is can be inclined as in figure 3 for the dirt particles to fall outside.
- the bottom wall 36 is hinged only at one side to one of the peripheral walls of the structure 3 and it can be moved from a closed position, where it is substantially horizontal and it closes the underside of the chamber 31 , to a distant position (the one shown in figure 3) where it is inclined and it opens a path for discharging the dirt accumulated thereon and that is discharged outside the chamber 31 due to the slope created.
- the operation of the bottom wall 36 in the two positions can be performed in different ways, for example by means of a worm screw that can be actuated by an electric motor or manually, or by means of a lever with a mechanical attachment and linkages.
- the operation of the bottom wall can be also controlled by the control unit of the individual platform and/or in a centralized manner by the remote controller mentioned above.
- platform 1 comprises a removable peripheral wall 40 associated to the structure 3.
- Such peripheral wall 40 extends vertically, substantially perpendicular to the walking surface 2 and at least at one side thereof and it is designed for reducing a possible loss of heat from the sides of the platform 1.
- peripheral wall 40 can be arranged at one or both the sides of the structure depending on installation needs of the individual platform 1 and /or whether the latter is one of the corner platforms in the case of the paving P of figure 5.
- the vertical wall 40 is connected to a body 41 which is fastenable to the structure 3 of the platform 1 by coupling means 42, for example a hook intended to engage a pin of the structure 3; the body 42 further rests on the ground by means of feet 43.
- the vertical extension of the wall 40 changes depending on the use, and it can range from a few tens of centimetres to two or three metres, depending on the field of application of the platform 1.
- the side wall 40 will have such an height to form at least a part of the side wall of the gazebo.
- the platform 1 is a part of a paving P exposed on the sides, it will have a reduced height of a few tens of centimetres.
- the main function of the wall 40 is to prevent adverse climatic conditions (eg. the wind) from easily spreading hot air coming out from the apertures 20 and it helps in maintaining the space above the walking surface 2 warm.
- adverse climatic conditions eg. the wind
- the wall 40 in addition to being removable can slide vertically, for example it can be retractable into the body 42 (if having the proper height), or can it can be laterally tiltable, so that it can take its operating position (vertical or perpendicular to the surface 2) only when necessary.
- a further advantage of the platform 1 according to the present invention is the fact that each platform 1 is an independent module: it is equipped with its own heaters, inlet and outlet air vents, fans and control unit; the side walls, if any, can be fastened or not on each side of the platform 1 (provided that suitable fastening means are arranged).
- a paving P of the modular type can be made, simply by placing side by side a plurality of platforms 1, equal one another, and by placing walls 40, if any, only where necessary, by electrically connecting each platform to the power supply line or to the adjacent platforms as described above.
- the paving P can comprise both heating platforms 1, and similar non-heating modules, which have only with the structure 3 and the walking surface 2.
- the non-heating platforms are equipped with a pivoting bottom such to allow them to be cleaned and to allow water to go out in case of rain or flood.
- platform 1 has a horizontal walking surface
- the walking surface can be inclined or can have a slope portion connected to a horizontal portion.
- the use of inclined walking surface allows a ramp to be made for objects or wheelchairs to climb on the platform and /or on the paving P obtained by assembling several platforms.
- Lights allow the outdoor space to be better lighted and are, to this end, placed in the proximity of the apertures of the walking surface.
- LED strips or neon lamps running along the apertures 20 defined by the boards 21.
- Fragrance diffusers are preferably arranged in the proximity of the resistors 7 and to this end they are mounted on the same brackets supporting the resistors. These brackets allow the diffusers to be kept raised with respect to the bottom 36 of the chamber 31, so in case of flood their contents is preserved while water goes out from the suitably inclined bottom 36.
- the platform 1 has a walking surface 2 having a size smaller or equal to 1 sq. m., in particular the surface is smaller than 950 mm x 950 mm, so that it can be transported on pallets of standard dimensions.
- the height of the platform is not excessive and is less than 25 cm, more preferably the height is less than 20 cm. This allows a heating chamber with compact dimensions to be provided while guaranteeing the space necessary to pivot the bottom of the chamber. The compactness of the heating chamber allows the thermal efficiency of the platform to be improved.
