Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snow melting apparatus that quickly melts fallen snow, does not deteriorate a roof, reduces a running cost than before and eliminates the need for climbing the roof for dropping snow.SOLUTION: The snow melting apparatus previously covers a region in which snow is melted, with metal gauze, irradiates the region in the metal gauze with an electromagnetic wave simultaneously with snowfall, and thereby effectively melts snow by heat produced by snow itself. In addition, the apparatus can reduce the running cost by making an electric power source powered on only at the time of snowfall with the use of a snow sensor.

Description

  The present invention relates to an electric snow removal apparatus using electromagnetic waves, mainly as a snow removal method for roof snow.

Conventional snow-melting devices mainly use the following method.
(1) Pump groundwater and sprinkle on the roof.
(2) Heat the antifreeze with a boiler and circulate it with a pipe installed on the roof.

  None

None

The problem to be solved is that in the conventional method (1), a cavity is formed and residual snow is generated, and snow is piled on it and snow removal does not work well. Also groundwater
Since the damage of the roof becomes severe due to the action, it is not practical. The boiler type (2) is very inefficient and too expensive to run, so it is rarely used today.

The present invention is mainly intended to solve the problems of the conventional system, but is further characterized in that it has a different function other than the winter period and is a composite type.

The snow extinguishing apparatus of the present invention causes the snow itself to generate heat by irradiating the snow during snowing with an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength that matches the natural frequency of the H ₂ O molecule, thereby forcibly vibrating the snow molecules. Take the method of melting. Therefore, there is an advantage that the efficiency can be improved and the above problems can be solved.

In addition, from April to November when snow does not fall, some of the devices are operated as solar water heaters and hot water is supplied to the kitchen, bath, etc., which has the advantage of reducing utility costs.

Furthermore, from April to November, there is an advantage that the remaining device is covered with a lid with a solar cell attached to generate power, and the electric charge used in winter is collected as much as possible.

    The present invention relates to an electric system using electromagnetic waves or electric heat and a multifunctional snow melting device mainly as a method for melting snow on roof snow.

Conventional snow melting devices mainly use the following method.
(1) Pump groundwater and sprinkle on the roof.
(2) Heat the antifreeze with a boiler and circulate it with a pipe installed on the roof.
(3) Put a heating wire in the insulator and stretch it over the roof.

In the conventional method (1), a cavity is formed and residual snow is generated, and snow accumulates thereon and the snow melting does not work well. In addition, it is not used because the damage of the roof and surroundings becomes severe due to the action of groundwater. The boiler type (2) is not used because it is very inefficient and costs too much fuel. Similarly, (3) is too expensive to install and run.

In order to solve the problem, a multi-function box-type electric snow melting device will be installed. This is because a snow receiving plate is stretched in a stainless steel box, and electromagnetic waves are tuned to the specific frequency of water molecules from below the plate, forcing the water molecules to vibrate, causing the snow itself to generate heat ( (Internal heating) A method of melting snow, and a method of using a plate having high conductivity as a receiving plate for snowfall, attaching a surface heating element to the lower side thereof, and melting the snow by heat conduction. And as many boxes as the size of the roof are installed on the roof to melt snow. Also, during the season when it doesn't snow, this box is covered with a solar hot water lid and a solar panel lid to supply hot water and generate electricity, and to save fuel and electricity costs such as gas.

The snow melting apparatus of the present invention is efficient because snow melting starts from the stage during snowfall and internal heating or heating close to direct heating can be performed. In addition, in the conventional method, since it is considered to erase all the snow from the roof, the installation cost and particularly the running cost are increased, and it is difficult to put it into practical use. The running cost is less than zero (when 3 to 4 solar panels are attached) and is easy to install. After installation, there is a great merit that there is no danger of climbing the roof due to snowfall, and there are no deaths or injuries of many people every year.

From April to November, when no snow falls, there is an advantage of reducing utility costs by operating some of the devices for solar hot water supply and supplying hot water to kitchens and baths.

Furthermore, from April to November, the remaining two or three devices are covered with a lid with a solar cell attached to generate electricity, and the electricity charge used during the winter period is collected, and further, there is an advantage of obtaining electricity. is there.
