Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a panel heater having a space on its side surface and a floor heating device using the same.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The panel heater used for floor heating is set to a predetermined size so that it can be adapted to any combination and size, and multiple floor heaters are spread to perform floor heating of a desired size. Therefore, electrical wiring is required between each panel and the power supply.

In order to secure the space for this electric wiring, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-23324, a wiring duct that opens downward is fitted in a groove provided in a substrate, and the upper and lower parts are installed at the corners of the panel. There is described an electric floor heating panel in which a wiring inside a duct and a sheet heater are connected in a joint box that penetrates and a cover plate is attached to the upper surface of the joint box.

In Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 56-1008887, a feed line passing through the inside of the panel is provided on the outer peripheral surface near each corner at both ends along one side of a rectangular panel containing a sheet heating element. A cord insertion port is formed, and an opening window is formed on the panel surface near one corner to communicate with this corner insertion port, and one end of the feed wiring cord is attached to the removable lid that closes each insertion port. The floor heating panel to be connected is described.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the floor heating panel described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-23324, the downward duct must be integrally formed with the finishing plate to prevent water leakage, which requires an extremely complicated forming process. There's a problem.

Further, in the floor heating panel described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-1008887, in order to connect with one electric system, the floor heating panel is installed at one place and connected only in a certain direction. This is not possible, and in order to connect the panel heater at any place, it is necessary to take out the power supply wire either on the floor or under the floor, which makes installation work very complicated. Further, when the power supply wire is taken out on the floor, there is a problem that the processing is difficult.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a panel heater which has a simple structure and can be wired without exposing the power supply wire on the floor or under the floor or outside the panel heater. It is to provide a floor heating system using a panel heater.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve this problem, the panel heater of the present invention is a panel heater having an upper surface heat radiating plate or an upper surface finish plate and a body having a heating element bonded to the lower surface thereof. It is characterized in that the plate or the top finishing plate is made wider than the area of the body to form spaces on two or more side surfaces of the body.

In addition, the floor heating apparatus of the present invention includes the panel heaters spread over any number of floors, an electric system connected to the electrodes of each panel heater through a space formed on the side surface of the body, It is characterized in that it is provided with an energization control means capable of energizing an arbitrary panel heater.

In this case, the panel heaters and the dummy panels, which have two sides opposite to each other and are in contact with the panel heater and do not have a heating function, may be arranged in an arbitrary arrangement.

[0011]

[Action]

 In the present invention, a space for power supply wiring is formed with a simple structure, and even when each panel heater is heated in various combinations, the wiring is not exposed on the floor, under the floor, or outside.

[0012]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1A is a sectional view of a floor heating apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a plan view of a panel heater. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper surface heat radiating plate made of aluminum (a wooden finishing plate may be used), and 2 denotes a body provided with a planar heating element such as a PTC ceramic heater. The upper surface heat dissipation plate 1 is slightly wider than the body 2 so that the space 3 is formed on the side surface of the body 1. In FIG. 1A, reference numeral 4 is a heat insulating material laid between the floor and the floor heating device.

In this embodiment, the size of the body 2 is 880 mm × 880 mm, the size of the upper surface heat dissipation plate 1 is 900 mm × 900 mm, and a space of 10 mm is formed in the periphery. When this panel heater is spread over the floor surface, a space 3 of 20 mm is formed between the adjacent panel heater bodies 2 and 2 as shown in FIG. A wire for supplying power to each sheet heating element is passed through this space 3.

Of course, it is possible to heat the entire panel heater spread on the floor surface at the same time to heat the floor, but only a part of the panel heater is heated to eliminate the places where no one is present. Energy saving can be achieved by using it. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the panel heater A (hatched portion) that is generating heat and the panel heater A ′ that is not generating heat are mixed. Several such combinations can be set and selected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a panel heater A and a dummy panel B having no heat generating function are alternately arranged, for example, to form a floor heating device, and a small number of panel heaters are used to heat a predetermined area. It can also be made possible.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention has the following effects. In the floor heating apparatus having a plurality of panel heaters according to the present invention, it is possible to energize and heat any number of panel heaters at any place without exposing the power supply wire to the floor, the floor, or the outside of the panel heater. There is an energy saving effect by heating only the required panel heater. By using a dummy panel, it is possible to heat a predetermined area with a small number of panel heaters.
