DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for burying a snow-melting cylinder in a garden or in front of a garage to melt snow from which snow has been removed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, an underground snow melting apparatus of the underground type has been known. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 47-4493
No. 8, JP-A-53-139139, and JP-A-50-19232. In addition, a ground-mounted snow melting apparatus is known. For example,
JP-A-49-129327 and JP-A-61-29
This is like the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 0104.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional underground type snow melting apparatus, a burner is not arranged.
It is a snow room type snow melting device that slowly melts snow over 3 to 7 days, and is different from the device that instantaneously melts snow by the heat of the burner as in the present invention. Also, in the technology of the snow-melting device on the ground, since it is a snow-melting device placed on the ground, the snow throwing portion is at a high position, and much effort is required except for snow throwing by mechanical force of the front loader or the like. It does not hold. The present invention is buried in the ground, and only when snow falls in winter, by opening the lid, it is possible to start snow melting work immediately, arrange a submersible pump, and pump up the once melted snow melting water again By injecting into the snow, a synergistic snow melting effect is exhibited.

[0004] By disposing the submersible pump below the snow-melting cylinder, it can be drained and used again as snow-melting water while a large amount of snow-melting water does not accumulate, and the shower pipe is arranged above the snow-melting cylinder and put in. Snowmelt water can be sprayed on snow that has fallen to improve the snowmelt effect. By connecting the submersible pump and the shower pipe with a connecting pipe, the snow melting heat efficiency could be improved. Further, an automatic submersible pump for supplying snow shower water to the shower pipe is arranged at a position lower than the snow melting tube,
When the snowmelt water is sucked by the automatic submersible pump, all the water at the lower part of the snowmelt cylinder is also sucked, so that the water does not accumulate in the main body frame when not in use except in winter, It is constructed so that spoiled water does not stay around the area.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, the present invention has the following configuration. Open the body frame 4 at the top
It is buried underground leaving the mouth, and the inside of the main body frame 4 is partitioned
29, a burner room 30 and a snow melting room are divided.
One cylindrical snow melting tube D is arranged in the room,
The burner 26 is arranged in the inside, and the hot air of the burner 26 is melted.
Blows out into the snow-melting cylinder D, and the hot air from the snow-melting cylinder D
In the buried type snow melting device that blows snow and melts snow,

[0006]

Next, the operation will be described. With the configuration as claimed in claim 1, when the snowmelt water is sucked by the submersible pump,
Since all of the water below the snow melting tube D is also sucked in, the water does not collect around the snow melting tube D in the body frame when not in use except during the winter season, and the rotten water around the snow melting tube D is not collected. There was no longer any stagnation. As a result, the durability of the snow melting cylinder D is improved, and in the summer season, water in the main body frame does not rot and emits an odor. Further, since the temperature of the snowmelt water melted by the heat of the burner is higher than that of snow, it was possible to dramatically improve the snowmelt thermal efficiency by injecting the snowmelt water again onto the snow.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment will be described. 1 is a front sectional view of an embedded snow melting apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.

[0017]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages. First, since one cylindrical snow melting cylinder D is arranged in the snow melting chamber, the snow melting cylinder D
The snow can be thrown into the upper part of the and the side part of the snow melting tube D. Then, the portion of the snow that is put in contact with one cylindrical snow melting tube D melts first, so that the portion slips down, the bridge collapses, and the snow on the side is the snow melting tube D. It works downward from the side and melts in snowmelt water. By thus forming one cylindrical snow melting cylinder D, the upper surface and the side surface of the snow melting cylinder D can be used as a snow melting space, and the snow that fell from the side surface due to the collapse of the bridge is collected in the lower part. Since the snow melting effect of the snow melting water can be received, the snow melting heat efficiency can be improved.

Second, in the buried type snow melting apparatus, the submersible pump for sucking the snow melting water is arranged at a position lower than the snow melting cylinder. Since everything is sucked, water does not accumulate around the snow-melting cylinder D in the main body frame during non-use except during winter, so that rotten water does not stay around the snow-melting cylinder D. . As a result, the durability of the snow-melting cylinder D is improved, and the water in the main body frame does not rot and emit an unpleasant smell in summer.
