DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment described below is a preferred specific example of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are given. However, the scope of the present invention is particularly limited in the following description. Unless otherwise stated, the present invention is not limited to these forms.
[0009]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the temperature adjusting device of the present invention. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, an example in which this temperature adjusting device is used as a floor heating device is shown.
2 is a plan view showing the temperature adjusting device 10 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a part of the temperature adjusting device 10 of FIG.
[0010]
A temperature adjusting device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a hot water heating device for floor heating, and is disposed, for example, on a floor SF of a building. For example, a 12 mm thick structural plywood 39 called a control panel is laid on the joists 77 of the floor SF of the building, and the temperature control device 10 is laid thereon. The temperature adjusting device 10 is also called a hot water mat, for example, and a flooring 32 is placed on the temperature adjusting device 10. That is, the temperature adjusting device 10 is placed between the control panel and the flooring 32. A dummy structural plywood 28 is disposed in a region around the temperature adjusting device 10.
The temperature adjusting device 10 includes a mat 12 as a heat insulating member, a plurality of pipes 14 as guide members for guiding a heat medium, a plurality of small joists 16a and 16b (hereinafter referred to as reinforcing members) as reinforcing members, and a reinforcing member. The tape 33 (see FIG. 3) as a drop-off prevention member, the aluminum foil 18 (see FIG. 1) as a heat transfer member, and the like.
[0011]
The mat 12 is substantially rectangular as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the thickness d1 of the mat 12 shown in FIG. 3 is, for example, approximately 12 mm. Moreover, the thicknesses of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are set to be substantially the same as the thickness d1 of the mat 12.
[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the mat 12 includes a portion 400 where the reinforcing member is disposed and a portion AR where the reinforcing member is not disposed. The portion 400 of the area where the reinforcing member of the mat 12 is disposed is made of, for example, a foamed polystyrene foam having a heat insulating function (for example, a foaming ratio of 20 times) or a polystyrene foam (for example, a foaming ratio of 20 times). .
On the other hand, the portion AR where the reinforcing member 16a or 16b is not disposed is, for example, a foamed polystyrene foam having a heat insulation function and a relatively low foaming rate (for example, 15 times the foaming rate) or polystyrene foam (for example, the foaming rate is 15 times) ) Etc. are made.
Thus, the mat portion 420 constituting the portion AR of the region where the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are not provided is lower than the mat portion 430 of the portion 400 of the region having the reinforcing members 16a and 16b. Since it is made of a material having a foaming rate, even if the user steps on the flooring 32 of FIG. 1 and walks, the area AR that does not have the reinforcing members 16a and 16b and the area that is the reinforcing member The amount of sinking in the portion 400 can be made uniform. This can improve the quality and convenience of use of the temperature control device.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 3, each pipe 14 is embedded in parallel with a groove in the mat 12, and for example, a crosslinked polyethylene pipe, a polypropylene pipe, or a metal pipe can be used. The mat 12 has a first surface 12 a and a second surface 12 b, and the pipe 14 is embedded in a groove on the second surface 12 b side of the mat 12.
The aluminum foil 18 is fixed to the second surface 12b by an adhesive or the like so as to cover the second surface 12b of the mat 12 and the pipe 14. This aluminum foil 18 is a heat homogenizing means for conducting and dispersing, for example, the heat of hot water passing through the pipe 14 to the flooring 32 side in FIG. Note that the aluminum foil 18 in FIG. 1 includes marks 18a indicating the positions of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b, for example.
[0014]
As the shape of the pipe 14, various shapes such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or a rectangular shape can be adopted.
The pipes 14 are arranged along the X direction and the Y direction of the mat 12 as shown in FIG. 2, and the plurality of pipes 14 are parallel and substantially zigzag, and are substantially parallel to the reinforcing members 16a and 16b. . These pipes 14 are connected to a header section 30 which is a heat medium supply and recovery means. The header portion 30 is configured to collect the low-temperature hot water that has been returned by supplying hot water to the pipe 14 and lead it to an external water heater or the like. Specifically, the pipe 14 is routed in a zigzag manner so as to pass in parallel to the reinforcing members 16a and 16b and bypass the vicinity of the portion AR in the region near the ends of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b. Yes.
[0015]
The reinforcing members 16a and 16b are fitted into the notches 12e of the mat 12 as shown in FIG. The reinforcing members 16a are alternately arranged in parallel with each other over almost the entire surface of the mat 12. A plurality of reinforcing members 16 a are arranged from the upper side to the lower side of the mat 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the reinforcing members 16b are arranged in parallel to the reinforcing member 16a with an interval of L, and the tip portion of the reinforcing member 16b is also a part AR of a certain region so as not to reach the upper side. Is leaving. The pipes 14 have already passed through the part AR of these regions in parallel. The reinforcing members 16a and 16b serve to reinforce the mat portion 430 of the mat 12 as shown in FIG. When this temperature adjusting device 10 is disposed on a reinforced concrete floor structure, the structural plywood 12 corresponds to a slab floor.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 4, a groove 14 m for embedding the pipe 14 as described above is formed on one surface 421 of the mat portion 420. On the other hand, a groove 423 is formed on the other surface (back surface) 422 of the mat portion 420. The groove 423 is preferably provided at a position corresponding to the extended portion of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b.
The reason why one or more such grooves 423 are formed in the Y direction is as follows. That is, when the temperature adjusting device 10 is wound with the aluminum foil 18 inside as shown in FIG. 10, the temperature adjusting device 10 can be wound smoothly.
Further, in order to ship the temperature adjusting device 10 called a hot water mat from the manufacturing factory and transport it to the construction site, it is necessary to wind the temperature adjusting device 10 and bring it.
If the groove 423 is not provided at a position corresponding to the reinforcing members 16a and 16b of the mat portion 420, the following problem occurs. In the mat portion 430 shown in FIG. 4, since the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are arranged and positioned in the notch 12e, the notch 12e exists in advance. From this, the action of the notch 12e helps the mat portion 430 to wind in the S direction in FIG. 4, but if the mat portion 420 does not have the groove 423, the mat portion 420 follows the mat portion 430 successfully. I can't wind it up. Accordingly, the grooves 423 and 423 are formed corresponding to the notches 12e of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b.
[0017]
The hot water introduced from the header portion 30 first passes through the entire surface of the mat 12 and transfers heat to the flooring 32 through the aluminum foil 18. Thereby, warm water heating can be performed with respect to the flooring 32 uniformly over the front surface of the mat 12.
[0018]
Next, the tape 33 which is a member for preventing the reinforcing member from falling off will be described. 2 and 3, the tape 33 is a member for preventing the reinforcing members 16a and 16b from dropping off from the mat 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. It is preferably set for the two surfaces 12b.
The tape 33 can be made of, for example, a synthetic resin or a fiber material, and it is preferable to employ a vinyl tape, a paper tape, a Teflon tape, or the like.
[0019]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the tape 33 is located inside the notch 12 e and 12 b with respect to the second surface 12 b of the mat 12 along the X direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing members 16 a and 16 b. It is set to follow. Thereafter, the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are fitted into the notches 12e, respectively, so that the tape 33 can support the second surface 12b of the mat 12 and the lower surface 16c of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b. Thereafter, the aluminum foil 18 is fixed to the second surface 12b of the mat 12 and the upper surface 16d of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b with an adhesive or the like so as to sandwich the tape 33 as shown in FIGS. The reinforcing members 16a and 16b can be made of wood, metal, or other material.
[0020]
Next, with reference to FIG. 7 thru | or FIG. 10, the manufacturing procedure of the temperature control apparatus 10 is demonstrated.
7 to 9 show a part of the temperature adjusting device 10 of FIG. 1 and are simplified for the sake of simplification of the drawing.
7, first, mat portions 420 and 430 of the mat 12 shown in FIG. 7A and a plurality of reinforcing members 16a and 16b shown in FIG. 7B are prepared. In the groove of the mat 12, a pipe 14 is embedded in a zigzag shape in advance, and a notch 12e for embedding the reinforcing members 16a and 16b is formed in parallel.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 7B, the mats 420 and 430 of the mat 12 are aligned and the tape 33 is disposed. Although only one tape 33 is shown in FIG. 7B for the sake of omission of the drawing, actually, for example, three tapes 33 are used as shown in FIG. Further, in the mat 12 of FIG. 7B, the pipe 14 is not shown for the sake of simplicity of the drawing.
After the tape 33 is set in relation to the mat 12 and the notch 12e, the plurality of reinforcing members 16a and 16b are fitted into the corresponding notch 12e.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the lower surface 16c and the two side surfaces 16e of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are held against the mat 12 so as to be surrounded by the tape 33. The state is shown in FIG.
[0022]
Next, the aluminum foil 18 is fixed to the upper surfaces of the mat portions 420 and 430 and the reinforcing members 16a and 16b of the mat 12 of FIG. 8 with an adhesive as shown in FIGS.
In this way, the temperature adjusting device 10 is completed as shown in FIG.
[0023]
The temperature adjusting device 10 made as shown in FIG. 9 is wound and stored in the manner shown in FIG. 10, or is transported to a construction site.
The mat 10 of FIG. 10 shows a case where the aluminum foil 18 is wound inside, and in this case, the mat portion 420 can be wound without difficulty because of the notch portion 12e. Further, the mat portion 420 is made of a material having a low foaming rate and is harder than the mat portion 430. However, since the groove 423 is formed in advance corresponding to the notch portion 12e, the groove 423 is formed. The mat portion 420 can be wound well so as to follow the mat portion 430 by performing an opening action.
In the winding system in FIG. 10, the mat 12 is wound so that the aluminum foil 18 is on the inner surface. Since the reinforcing member is disposed in the notch portion of the mat, the reinforcing member jumps out from the notch portion in the conventional structure.
[0024]
However, in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 of the present invention, as already described, the tape 33 prevents the reinforcing member 16a or 16b from dropping off from the mat 12, The drop-off phenomenon of the reinforcing member that has conventionally occurred can be completely prevented.
Then, when the temperature adjusting device 10 is conveyed in the winding state as shown in FIG. 10 and this winding state is released at the construction site, as shown in FIG. 3, it is placed on the floor slab SF on the aluminum foil. The mat 18 can be unfolded with the first surface 12a of the mat 12 facing down, with 18 facing upward. It is not necessary for an operator on site to return the front and back of the temperature adjusting device 10 after deployment as in the prior art, and the temperature adjusting device 10 can be easily deployed on the floor slab SF as shown in FIG.
[0025]
As described above, when the temperature adjusting device 10 as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is packed in a wound state, the aluminum foil 18 as the heat transfer surface is on the inner side, and the reinforcing members 16a and 16b are on the outer side. The reinforcing members 16a and 16b are not detached from the mat 12 even if they are positioned at the position, and it is possible to prevent the reinforcing members of the temperature adjusting device 10 from being detached not only during packaging but also during transportation.
As described above, at the time of construction, it is possible to develop the aluminum foil 18a so as to be on the upper side simply by releasing the winding state, and at the time of development, the mat is applied while applying an adhesive to the lower surfaces of the reinforcing members 16a and 16b By expanding 12, the floor slab SF can be easily fixed with an adhesive as shown in FIG.
[0026]
In the embodiment described above, a plurality of grooves are provided in the first surface (back surface) 12a of the mat portion 420 having a low foaming rate. The cross-sectional shape of the groove is a triangular shape, but is not limited to this, and other shapes may be employed. For example, in FIG. 11, a plurality of grooves 1423 are formed in the mat portion 420. The groove 1423 has a circular hole 1423a at the center, and the hole 1423a is connected to the outside by a thin groove 1423b. The grooves 2423 in FIG. 12 are simply formed by forming elongated grooves in the thickness direction of the mat portion 420. The groove 3423 in FIG. 13 has an inverted triangular cross-sectional shape.
Of course, the number of grooves is not limited to one or two, but may be three or more. It is of course possible to adopt shapes other than the illustrated groove shape.
[0027]
By the way, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.
For example, the reinforcing member as the reinforcing member can be made of wood, hard plastic, rubber, or other materials. In particular, rubber is advantageous in preventing vibration. Hot water can be supplied to the pipe as a heated heat medium to heat indoor ambient temperatures such as floors, ceilings or walls. However, the present invention is not limited to this. By introducing a coolant such as cold water into the air, it can be used as a cooling device without temperature unevenness.
[0028]
The heat medium is not limited to water, and other types of liquid or gas may be employed. When the temperature adjusting device is arranged on an object such as a floor slab, it can be arranged not only on the floor slab but also on a wooden floor. The temperature adjusting device is not limited to the floor, and may be disposed on a wall, ceiling, or other part of a metal, wooden, or concrete building. For example, when the temperature adjusting device is arranged on the ceiling, the space for transferring heat may be provided not only in the room but also on the back side of the attic side. Thereby, dew condensation on the attic can be prevented.
[0029]
In the illustrated embodiment, the material and the foaming rate of the mat portion 420 having a low foaming rate are not limited to those described above, and other materials or other foaming rates can be employed. Of course, the mat portion 420 and the mat portion 430 may be made of different materials.
[0030]
