Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

    The present invention relates to a snow melting mat.

  Conventionally, what is called a snow-melting mat has a heating wire, a sheet heating element, etc., or a pipe through which a heat medium such as hot water flows inside the mat. The temperature of the mat surface was raised by heating the snow to melt the snow.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  However, in the above-mentioned snow melting mat, the heat generation method using the electric heating element or the heat medium conduction pipe installed inside the mat raises the surface temperature by heating the mat, so that the surface temperature reaches the snow melting temperature. It took time and snow melting efficiency was poor, and running costs such as electricity charges and fuel costs were excessive.

  Furthermore, in order to accelerate the rise of the surface temperature, a method of increasing the heat generation amount or incorporating a temperature sensor to constantly maintain the surface temperature at a constant temperature and speed up snow melting has been devised. Product prices and running costs were rising.

  In addition, since an electric heating element and a heat medium conduction pipe are installed inside the mat, there is a problem that failure is likely to occur, such as disconnection, electric leakage, and heat medium leakage.

  Furthermore, the electric heating element and the heat medium conduction method tend to increase the product price.

  Next, as a conventional method of fixing the mat, anchor bolts and screws, etc., were fixed with adhesives, etc. However, with anchor bolts and screws, installation time and construction costs are required because tools are used. It takes. In addition, the adhesive method has a problem that it takes time until the adhesive is hardened and construction costs are increased.

Means to solve the problem

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a snow melting mat characterized in that a blowing pipe for blowing warm / hot air is installed inside a mat integrally formed with a rubber chip and an adhesive.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that a metal plate or a resin plate having one or more holes for uniformly diffusing warm and hot air is installed on the upper surface of the blow-out pipe.

  In order to fix the snow melting mat, it is preferable that an adhesive tape such as a double-sided tape is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the mat.

The invention's effect

  The snow melting mat of the present invention basically has a rubber chip mat with water permeability and air permeability, and a hot / hot air blowing pipe is integrally formed, and the hot / hot air is blown out from the blowing pipe, thereby the rubber chip. By using the water permeability and air permeability of the panel, it immediately reaches the panel surface and comes into direct contact with the snow to melt the snow, so there is no need to warm the rubber chip mat itself, so the time to start snow melting is fast and running costs are reduced. You can hold it down.

  Also, since the hot and hot air is simply blown out from the hot and hot air blowing pipe in the rubber chip mat, there is no risk of malfunction such as electric leakage or liquid leakage, and the only thing installed is the pipe, so the product price is also cheaper. it can.

  Furthermore, by installing a plate with one or more holes for diffusing warm and hot air on the upper surface of the blowing pipe, it is uniformly transmitted to the mat surface, and snow melting efficiency is further improved.

  In addition, it is possible to easily cope with this by changing the number of blowout pipes and the diameter of the pipes in accordance with the amount of snow melting heat in the area.

Next, in order to fix the snow melting mat of the present invention, an adhesive tape such as a double-sided tape is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the rubber chip mat. Therefore, neither time nor installation cost is required.
As described above, the present invention has an effective effect, and the industrial utility value is extremely high.

FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the snow melting mat is composed of main components such as a rubber chip mat 1, a diffusion plate 2, a blowout pipe 3, a double-sided tape 4, and a blower hose connection port 5.

  In FIG. 1, the rubber chip mat 1 is integrally molded with a rubber chip and an adhesive. At that time, a diffusion plate 2, a blower pipe 3, a double-sided tape 4, and a blower hose connection port 5 are installed and integrally molded. A rubber chip mat 1 is formed.

  The blowing pipe 3 shown in FIG. 4 is made of metal, resin, or the like, and is provided with a blowing hose connection port 5 on one side, and the blowing hose 10 is connected to the blowing hose connection port 5. The end of the blowing tube 3 is closed. The blowout pipe 3 has one or more holes 6, and warm and hot air is blown out from these holes 6, and the hot and hot air reaches the mat surface using the water permeability and breathability of the rubber chip. is there. Further, even if the rubber chip mat 1 is submerged and water is stored in the blowout pipe 3, a water drain hole 7 is formed at the lower side of the pipe so that water can be drained later.

  The diffusing plate 2 shown in FIG. 6 is made of metal, resin, or the like, and has one or more holes, and is installed on the upper surface of the blowing tube 3. As a result, the warm / hot air blown out from the blowing tube 3 strikes the diffusion plate 2 on the upper surface, is uniformly diffused, passes through the holes in the diffusion plate 2, and reaches the surface of the rubber chip mat 1.

  In FIG. 1, the double-sided tape 4 is installed on the bottom surface of the rubber chip mat 1 by integral molding. When the rubber chip mat 1 is installed at the mounting location, the peeling tape of the double-sided tape is peeled off and attached and fixed. In addition, it is preferable to select materials, such as a butyl rubber, according to the materials, such as concrete, mortar, and a steel plate, as the place to fix the double-sided tape 4.

  FIG. 7 illustrates a preferred use example of the present invention. The rubber chip mat 1 installed at the entrance, staircase, parking lot, etc., feeds the heat generated by the heat source 8 to the blower hose connection port 5 through the blower hose 10 through the blower hose 10. It is. The warm / hot air sent in is blown out from the blow-out pipe 3, is uniformly diffused by the diffusion plate 2, reaches the mat surface, and melts snow. Further, when a plurality of rubber chip mats 1 are installed, it is preferable that the blower hose 10 is connected in series or in parallel with the blower hose connection port 5 so as to be set in accordance with the snow melting area. The heat source 8 may be of any type as long as it generates heat such as heat generated by electricity, heat generated by a boiler, and waste heat from a subway.
