In addition, heaters of the type in which an infrared lamp or a high-temperature radiator irradiates the floor from the top to the floor surface are local and generally have a poor warming feeling due to high temperatures. (See JP-A-11-83057) It was a target.

[0005]

The conventional ceiling heating device is so heavy and long that it is not easy to mount it.
In order to easily heat the ceiling, it is necessary to reduce the size and weight, simplify the installation, and simplify the power supply to the ceiling heating device.

It is also necessary to obtain a ceiling heating device such as an infrared lamp which has a gentle warming feeling without a stimulating warming at a high temperature.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a light-weight planar heat radiator is connected to a ceiling part through ceiling mounting means including ceiling lighting mounting means and power supply branching means. It was to be mounted nearby.

[0008] Further, a heating element provided on the planar heat radiator includes:
A heat-sensitive heater that can be connected to a temperature control circuit or the like, senses abnormal heating over the entire length, and controls the temperature is used.

Further, a power supply branching means is integrated with the planar radiator, and a control section for receiving a signal from a heat-sensitive heater and performing temperature and safety control is incorporated in the power supply branching means.

In addition, a heat radiation surface is formed on the entire surface of the planar heat radiator, and the heat radiation surface is subjected to high emissivity processing such as coating or surface treatment with good emissivity.

Further, the power supply branching means is provided with an illumination switch and a heating switch which can individually turn on / off the power to the ceiling illumination section of the bulb and the control section of the planar radiator.

Further, a temperature control device and a safety control device for the planar radiator are provided in the power supply branching means.

Further, the radiation surface formed on the entire surface of the planar radiator has a radiation surface shape that reflects well on the lower surface so as to efficiently receive the radiation heat from the ceiling illuminating portion of the light bulb.

[0014] Further, a combination of a light-weight heat insulating material and an aluminum plate having a small specific gravity or a light-weight stainless steel thin plate and the like on a heat-dissipating surface constituting a substrate is provided on a planar heat-dissipating body holding the heat-sensitive heater. A heat-resistant synthetic resin molded product or an overall lightweight material composed of a combination thereof is used.

After assembling the planar radiator 1 (including the case where the user assembles it), it is integrated with the power supply branching means 3, and both of them are structured so that they do not easily come off during vibration or long-term use.

There are various types of heating elements 6 that can be provided on the surface of the base 1a of the sheet heat dissipating element 1. The heating element 6 can be connected to a temperature control circuit or the like, and can detect abnormal heating over the entire length and control the temperature. It is desirable to use the heater 6a.

Since the ceiling heating device of the present invention is not easily touched by a person, there is little danger of burns or the like even if the surface temperature of the planar radiator 1 is high, but it is necessary to obtain a soft warmth. A temperature of approximately 100 ° C. or less is appropriate. That consumes less power.

The heat radiation surface 8 of the planar heat radiator 1 is subjected to high emissivity processing by surface treatment such as painting or flocking with good emissivity in order to improve the heat radiation efficiency to the lower surface.

Further, the shape of the heat radiating surface 8 of the sheet radiator 1 is
It has a curvature and a shape that allows it to receive radiant heat from the light bulb 10a and the like attached to the ceiling lighting unit 10 integrated with the power supply branching unit 3 and efficiently radiate the heat and light to the lower surface.
