Description

Heating module.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims to patent a heat radiator object designed for heater and / or dehumidify the objects that are arranged inside.

Specifically this utility model proposes to use an electric resistance, of resistive wire of nickel-cadmium, nickel-chromium or other electro-conductive material, which extended to length and width of the base that serves as support, is covered by another panel constituting both panels together the bottom of the module heater, which would function as a uniform heat distributor in the interior of the module, heating the interior environment and the objects that are located inside through radiation in convection place, being the most ecological radiation principle by representing a greater use of energy, eliminating totally the risk of accidental burns based on it radiation heating principle, therefore, the low temperature to which it works is perfectly bearable by most everyday materials, which brings another additional advantage; the economics of its manufacture given the low market price of these materials

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the manufacture of heating objects and furniture in general.

Description of the invention

The heating principle we are referring to is known in the current state of the art and it is about take advantage of the heat emitted by the electrical resistance of the wire  nickel, chrome or any other resistive material electro-conductor In this invention, the thread resistive extends forming a circuit, in such a way that it covers widely the bottom surface of the module that serves as base. The circuit formed by the resistive wire continues through of conductive cables, appropriate to the electrical power of the element, which will in turn connect to a power source electrical, making possible the dissipation of electrical power of the thread in the form of heat. In this way we managed to distribute the heat capacity over a large area, the bottom of the module, and therefore the convection effect largely passes to 2nd term on which most heating systems are based, since that the panel thus arranged diffuses heat on the objects not by directly heating the air but indirectly, by conceive the closed module and therefore concentrate the radiation on a small space that just warmed the air too. The object heater also has other advantages, such as the impossibility of burn people or other objects by lowering temperature at which it works, or how it can be used to its construction a wide range of materials, since no They need to be flame retardant for the same reason.

Apart from the design, size, or material, the module heater that we propose will consist of some elements basic as they are; A rear panel containing the wire circuit conductor, without the composition of this material influencing a relevant way in the final result of the object heating module of the present invention, being constituted by materials commonly used in the manufacture of furniture in general, such as the different types of wooden boards, polyurethane or other synthetic or natural materials, characterized by having high thermal and electrical insulation power; Also a thread of conductive resistance of electricity, having the characteristic of warming up the moment it connects to a electric power source The conductive wire is placed on the back panel, tracing any shape whenever it covers the aim to distribute evenly in it, having chosen for the preferred embodiment a zigzag line plot; This circuit is carried to two electric conduction cables (one for each pole) that will meet in a common plug that will connect to the electrical network, or other source of electrical energy. Additionally a thermostat can be included, which will be placed in series in the electrical circuit created with the elements described, which will act by interrupting the circuit when the temperature of the heating panel emits the maximum heat calculated according to the heat resistance of the materials used or we have reached the desired temperature inside the heating module; Nail slits or air inlets on the back of the furniture that is repeated in the low and high part, which will allow to create a small current of convention when tending the heat generated inside the module to leave through the upper slit for weighing less, space that will enter replace less hot air through the bottom slit, dehumidifying the garments placed inside and keeping them at a comfortable temperature.

The final aesthetics of the heating object obtained It can be as varied as designs want to make this object piece of furniture.

Description of the drawings

To complete the description that is being performing and in order to help better compression of peculiarities of the heating module that we propose, is accompanied by This specification as an integral part thereof the drawings arranged on the following pages in which, with explanatory and non-limiting in any case, it has been represented the following:

Figure 1.- Shows at the same time the fund on which the electrical circuit and all the elements are arranged members of the module as they would be once coupled.

Description of the preferred embodiment

The detailed description of the embodiment preferred of the process of the present invention and of the elements that compose it, it is done in view of figure 1 and only. For this preferred embodiment a module has been chosen heater to heat and dehumidify bathrobes, towels or other textiles for everyday use in the bathroom.

The drawing shows the bottom of the module (1), formed by an insulating material such as wood or any of its derivatives, on which a closed electrical circuit is coupled (2) composed in turn of a two-wire cable (3) resistive of Nickel-Cadmium or other alloy arranged along and bottom width making comings and goings to cover widely the surface of this one. The inclusion is also appreciated in the circuit of a safety thermostat or regulator of temperature (7), in any case optional and not relevant in the novelty which is presented as patentable, but as a possible element constitutive of this preferred embodiment. This way it shows  how the electrical circuit (2), formed by the resistive wire (3), is hidden in the back of the heating module when it is covered by the rear panel of the furniture (5).

Dashed lines show integration of the bottom panel (1) as an element on which the circuit is formed electric (3) responsible for the heating effect, in the module Heats and bathrobes. Being a module closed, slits (6) are arranged on the back of the module, both below and above, which will make possible a recirculation of non-forced air that arises from the elementary principles of thermodynamic physics when tending the air hot to ascend and therefore escape through the upper slit, creating the effect of cold air entering through the lower slit that would come to occupy the space left when the air was dislodged hot. This process allows bathrobes, towels or other objects arranged inside, in addition to being heated by the Radiation effect described, dry, since the circulation of air would allow to evacuate moisture released by the bathrobe or wet towel placed on the module.

So, we get through the heating module, heating by radiation and convention (to a lesser extent), the bathrobes, towels or other objects that are arranged in your inside, ecologically, for being using a power electrical much smaller than the one needed by other means of heating. We also get that the heat emitted does not constitute danger of fire to objects arranged inside, and that the materials used for the composition of the object in this preferred embodiment is common, such as wood, and not specially characterized to build a heating apparatus, owing to the low temperature at which it develops the heating activity of the element object of the present invention.

Made the description referred to in the report above, we point out that the heating module shown in the drawings as an example, is not limiting as to its shape, size or complexity Indeed, in the current Patent Law, set as non-patentable, changes in shape, dimensions, proportions and materials of an already patented object, thus setting the criteria of the legislator in the sense that an idea is patented, no one can rely on it, on the pretext of having introduced slight modifications, present it as new and own. Exists also enough innovation to understand that a piece is provided new, as is a bathrobe-heater module made with common non-specialized materials, easy to use and management, more ecological, safe and natural than the means of convection heating.

We understand therefore that the improvement with elements such as a "safety thermostat" that interrupts the power supply to prevent the object from overheating under certain circumstances, or even a "thermostat temperature regulator ", are not elements that come to create of this invention another new and different with enough novelty inventiveness. Likewise, we show that the inclusion in the electrical circuit described here of a transformer that makes work on it at a voltage lower or higher than that of the network common electrical, is not constitutive of sufficient inventive novelty to get ahead of this invention.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description for a subject matter expert can understand its scope and the advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and implement the object of the same.
