The matters defined in the description, such as the detailed construction and elements, are nothing but specific details provided to assist those of ordinary skill in the art in a comprehensive understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed hereinafter.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a schematic diagrammatic view showing a use state in which a lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • The lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a enclosure member 10 having a filling space 11 defined therein and a plurality of fastening holes 12 formed on a bottom surface thereof, the enclosure member being opened at a top thereof; a heat-insulating member 20 configured to be filled in the filling space 11 of the enclosure member; a heating cable 30 exothermically arranged on the heat-insulating member 20 and configured to transfer heat to the ship deck positioned above the heating cable; a fixing member 40 disposed on the heating cable 30 and configured to securely fix the heating cable 30 on the heat-insulating member 20 so that the heating cable is held in position; and a controller 50 mounted at the outside of the enclosure member 10 and electrically connected to the heating cable 30, the controller being configured to control the generation of heat from the heating cable 30 and the supply of electric power.
  • Hereinafter, constituent elements and their connection relationship of the lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 1 and 2.
  • Herein, the enclosure member 10 is an element where constituent elements which will be described later are filled and installed, and that serves to form the entire outer appearance of the lower heat-generating device 1. The enclosure member 10 has a filling space 11 defined therein and a plurality of fastening holes 12 formed on a bottom surface thereof. In addition, the enclosure member 10 is opened at a top thereof.
  • The enclosure member 10 may be formed in a quadrangular shape having various sizes. The enclosure member 10 is formed to have the filling space 11 therein in such a manner that four sidewalls having a predetermined height protrudingly extends vertically upwardly from a bottom of the enclosure member 10. The fastening holes 12 serves to allow fixing bolts weldingly fixed to the underside of the deck to which the lower heat-generating device 1 is mounted to be fastened with fixing nuts on the underside of the enclosure member 10 therethrough. In this case, the fastening holes 12 are not formed at regions where the heating cable 30 is arranged. In addition, the aforementioned connecting hole 13 serves to allow a connecting cable 51 connected to the controller 50 which will be described later to be introduced into the enclosure member 10 therethrough.
  • The heat-insulating member 20 is filled within the filling space 11 of the enclosure member 10 as described above, and serves to prevent heat released from the heating cable 30 from being transferred to the bottom, but not in the direction of the ship deck. In other words, the heat-insulating member 20 prevents heat from being released to the bottom and releases the heat from the heating cable to only the upper deck so as to increase the heat efficiency of the lower heat-generating device. The heat-insulating member 20 preferably employs a conventional heat-insulating material for heat release and water proof purpose. In this case, a top surface of the heat-insulating member 20 brought into direct contact with the heating cable 30 is preferably coated with a refractory material to prevent a fire from occurring due to heat released from the heating cable 30.
  • Meanwhile, the heating cable 30 is exothermically arranged on the heat-insulating member 20 filled in the filling space 11, and serves to generate heat by itself through the electric power supplied under the control of the controller 50 so that the generated heat is transferred to the ship deck to prevent the ship deck from being frozen.
  • The heating cable 30 employs a conventional heating cable 30, and the heat-insulating member 20 on which the heating cable 30 is seated may have a groove (not shown) formed thereon to correspond to the shape of the heating cable 30. In the case where the top surface of the heat-insulating member 20 is not coated with a refractory material, a separate refractory film may be interposed between the heat-insulating member 20 and the heating cable 30.
  • In addition, the fixing member 40 is provided on the heating cable 30 seated on the heat-insulating member 20. The fixing member 40 serves to securely fix the heating cable 30 on the heat-insulating member 20. The fixing member 40 employs a conventional aluminum tape, and is closely attached to the heating cable 30 without any spacing so that the shape of the heating cable 30 seated on the heat-insulating member 20 is exposed to the outside.
  • In the meantime, the controller 50 is mounted at the outside of the enclosure member 10 and is electrically connected to the heating cable 30 by means of the connecting cable 51 so that the controller controls the generation of heat from the heating cable 30 and the supply of electric power. The controller 50 is mounted at a rail of the ship deck by one relative to three enclosure members 10 as shown in Fig. 3. In this case, the heating cables 30 of adjacent enclosure members 10 may be designed to be connected to one another so that the generation of heat from the heating cable 30 and the supply of electric power can be controlled by a single controller 50. Alternatively, a temperature sensor may be additionally mounted at the controller 50 so that electric power can be supplied to the heating cable 30 below a predetermined temperature, and the supply of electric power can be interrupted above the predetermined temperature.
  • Hereinafter, the entire installation method of the lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 3
  • First, the heat-insulating member 20 is filled in the filling space 11 of the enclosure member 10, and the heating cable 30 is arranged on the filled heat-insulating member 20. Thereafter, the fixing member 40 is attached to the heating cable 30 to securely fix the heating cable 30 on the heat-insulating member 20 so as to be held in position.
  • Then, the connecting cable 51 connected to the controller 50 is inserted into the connecting hole 13 formed at one sidewall of the enclosure member 10 so that the connecting cable 51 is electrically connected to the heating cable 30.
  • Thereafter, fixing bolts weldingly fixed vertically to the underside of a corridor of the ship to be heated are inserted at lower ends thereof into the fastening holes 12 and protruded to the outside through fastening holes 12. At this time, the lower ends of the fixing bolts protruded to the outside through the fastening holes 12 are firmly fastened with fixing nuts.
  • In the above method, the lower heat-generating device 1 is mounted on the entire underside of the corridor of the ship and the generation of heat therefrom and the supply of electric power can be controlled by the controller 50. In the meantime, Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with still another embodiment of the present invention.
  • An air layer 60 is formed between the underside of the ship deck and the top surface of the lower heat-generating device. The air layer 60 serves a heat-insulating element that prevents external cold air from taking internal heat. A heat diffusion member 80 may be filled in the air layer 60 in such a manner that the shape of the heat diffusion member 80 corresponds to that of the air layer 60 as shown in Fig. 4. The heat diffusion member 80 serves to rapidly transfer heat released from the heating cable 30 to the ship deck.
  • In addition, the heat-insulating member 20 may further include a plurality of concave depressions 70 formed at a region of the air layer 60 where the heating cable is not arranged so as to increase the volume of the air layer 60 and thus improve the heat-insulating effect as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, the heat diffusion member 80 is formed and filled to have a shape corresponding to that of the air layer, and also serves to rapidly transfer heat released from the heating cable 30 to the ship deck. While the present invention has been described in connection with the specific embodiments illustrated in the drawings, they are merely illustrative, and the invention is not limited to these embodiments. It is to be understood that various equivalent modifications and variations of the embodiments can be made by a person having an ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the true technical scope of the present invention should not be defined by the above-mentioned embodiments but should be defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
    • [Industrial Applicability]
  • As described above, the lower heat-generating device for a deck in a ship in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a bottom portion of a deck of a ship or a marine structure that is exposed to the same cold weather as the polar region for a long period of time so as to prevent the deck from being frozen.
