DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a stadium, an amusement park,
It relates to benches installed outdoors such as theme parks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In stadiums, amusement parks, theme parks, and the like, benches are provided for spectators to watch a game or to take a rest for the visitors. Since these benches are installed outdoors, they need to be durable and long-lasting without being corroded or deteriorated by sunlight, wind and rain.
In addition, it is necessary that dirt and the like hardly adhere and that cleaning is easy.

[0003] In order to satisfy such a demand, a conventional bench is made of a concrete material, a ceramic material, a stone material, or the like, which is a material excellent in strength, durability, cleanability and the like.

[0004]

Conventionally, concrete materials, ceramic materials, stone materials, etc., which have been widely used as bench materials, have excellent strength and durability, but have high thermal conductivity and high ambient temperature. When the temperature is low, such as in winter, the bench user feels cold and feels uncomfortable. For this reason, it is difficult to use the benches in winter, which is inconvenient for spectators and visitors.

[0005] In addition, the surface of the bench made of these materials tends to condense in the morning or the like when the temperature decreases, and often remains wet in the morning. It is a hindrance.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bench in which dew condensation does not occur even when the temperature is low such as winter, and excellent sitting comfort can be ensured.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a bench according to the present invention is characterized in that a heating element is provided inside or on a lower surface of a stool for placing a human hip. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to heat the stool with the heating element, so that the cold feeling is not given to the bench user even in a low temperature period such as winter, so that excellent sitting comfort is provided. Can be secured. In addition, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dew condensation in the morning or the like when the temperature decreases.

[0008] By using a conductive heating element as the heating element, heating can be performed only by providing a power supply facility.
OFF control, fine temperature setting, accurate temperature management, and the like can be performed relatively easily. In addition, by using a hot liquid pipe heater as the heating element, the water resistance against rainwater and the like is increased, and there is no risk of occurrence of electric leakage or fire during heating.

As a conductive heating element, a nichrome wire heater,
By using a carbon heater, a polymer heater, or the like, a heating mechanism suitable for the material, structure, design, or the like of the stool portion can be formed.

[0010] By providing a photovoltaic power generator for supplying electricity to the conductive heating element, it is possible to heat using electricity generated by daylight in the daytime, and thus to save power. Can be.

In the bench 40, since the nichrome wire heater 46 is used as a heating element, the nichrome wire heater 46 is used.
It is possible to increase or decrease the heat generation capacity by changing the wiring interval of the wiring. Therefore, a heating function according to the climate of the installation location of the bench 40 can be exhibited.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a bench according to the third embodiment.

The bench 50 of this embodiment comprises a stool 51 on which a human rests the buttocks and legs 52 for supporting the butt. The stool 51 has a structure in which a heat insulating member 53 and a finishing material 54 are laminated. Is provided with a temperature sensor 58. A hot water pipe 55 is provided between the heat retaining member 53 and the finishing material 54, and an inflow pipe 56 and an outflow pipe 57 communicating with the hot water pipe 55 are arranged on side surfaces of the leg 52.

A pump 59 for supplying hot water to a hot water pipe 55 and a boiler 60
And a solar heater 61, and a control box 62 for managing the operating state of the bench 50 is provided.

The control box 62 includes a hot water temperature setting device 63 for setting the temperature of hot water in the hot water pipe 55, a hot water supply start temperature setting device 64 for setting a temperature for starting hot water supply to the hot water pipe 55, and a hot water pipe 55. A safety device 65 for stopping hot water supply when the hot water overheats is built in, and a temperature signal detected by the temperature sensor 58 is transmitted to the control box 62.

The bench 50 can be heated by supplying warm water into the warm water pipe 55, so that the user of the bench 50 does not feel cold even in a low temperature period such as winter. Excellent sitting comfort. In addition, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dew condensation in the morning or the like when the temperature decreases.

In the case of the bench 50, when the ambient air temperature falls below the temperature set by the hot water supply start temperature setting device 64, the boiler 60 and the pump 59 are automatically operated and the hot water pipe 5
5 is started, and the hot water pipe 55 is maintained at the temperature set by the hot water temperature setting device 63. When the ambient air temperature rises above the temperature set by the hot water supply start temperature setting device 64, the hot water supply to the hot water pipe 55 is automatically stopped.

As described above, since the bench 50 is automatically operated in accordance with the ambient temperature, no labor is required, the safety is excellent, and wasteful consumption of energy can be prevented. In addition, since the specific heat of water is higher than that of metal or the like, after stopping hot water supply to the hot water pipe 55,
