Description

  The present invention relates to a hot water melting device that is installed on a roof of a house particularly in a heavy snowy area to prevent snow accumulation on the roof during snowfall or to melt snow on the roof.

  In heavy snowy areas, a large amount of snow accumulates on the roof of the house during the winter, and the weight of the snow may damage the house. Also, if the snow on the roof melts due to an increase in temperature, there is a risk that the snow will slide down under the eaves due to the slope of the roof.

  Therefore, in heavy snowy areas, “snowing” is an indispensable task of climbing the roof of a house and removing snow from the roof using a scoop or the like. However, it is a high place and the slope of the roof is slippery and there is a risk of falling.

  On the other hand, an aging society is progressing, and it is not uncommon to ask a contractor to carry out snow removal work with danger in the family of an elderly family, and in snowy areas, annual snow removal work requires enormous costs. .

Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, a tiled roof is provided with a piping groove for piping a hot water pipe in the tile base material laid on the base plate constituting the roof, and the hot water pipe is provided in this piping groove. In addition, a snow-melting tile roof structure is known in which tiles are laid so as to cover hot tiles on the tile base material (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-52390

  According to Patent Document 1 described above, by flowing warm water from a water heater or the like to the warm water pipe of the tile base material, the tile is heated, and snowfall on the tile roof is prevented during snowfall or snow on the tile roof is prevented. It can melt snow. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of snow removal work with danger.

  However, since the roof tile itself is generally formed of a heat insulating material, heat conduction from the hot water flowing in the hot water pipe to the roof tile is poor, and it takes time to heat the roof tile, and the snow on the roof tile is efficiently used. It cannot be melted well. In addition, hot water pipes need to be densely arranged on the tile base material laid on the roof, which makes piping work difficult and requires a large amount of construction cost.

  This invention was made by paying attention to the above circumstances, and its purpose is to install it on the roof of a house to prevent snow accumulation on the roof during snowfall or to efficiently melt snow on the roof. The object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive hot water snow melting device that can be constructed and that is simple in construction.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hot water melting apparatus that is installed on the roof of a house to prevent snow accumulation on the roof during snowfall, or to melt snow on the roof.
