Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain floor panels for floor heating, which are easy to carry out maintenance work and setup work, and can be freely arranged according to the shape of a floor-where the floor panels are laid. CONSTITUTION:A floor panel 5 consists of top and bottom floor materials 1 and 3 facing each other and spacers 4 which are placed between the floor materials 1 and 3 to form a clearance A between them. As the spacers 4 are arranged scattered between the floor materials 1 and 3, the clearance A of the adjacent floor panels 5 communicate with each other and form a hot-air passage B when the floor panels 5 are jointed together. Hot-air is circulated through the hot-air passage B to heat the top floor material l and heating is performed by the heat of the top floor material 1. Thereby, as the floor panels 5 have no heat source, maintenance work for a heat source is not necessary and the floor panels 5 can be cut according to the shape of a floor.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor panel for heating a floor panel with warm air and heating the floor panel with the heat of the floor panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of floor panels for this kind of floor heating have been proposed, for example, the actual construction of Shokai 60-590.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 11, a heat insulating material such as urethane foam is provided on the lower surface side of the floor material, and a resin tube for circulating hot water is embedded in the heat insulating material, or instead of a resin tube for circulating hot water. There is known a floor heating device or the like in which a ceramic heater is laid on the lower surface side of a floor material to directly heat the floor material.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, in which warm water is circulated through the resin tube to perform floor heating, scale or the like is likely to accumulate inside the resin tube during long-term use. Due to such clogging of the resin tube, the heating efficiency is reduced, and maintenance such as cleaning the inside of the resin tube is required regularly.
For the maintenance, large-scale work such as removing the floor material is required. Further, this type of hot water circulating floor panel is costly in terms of equipment such as a boiler for supplying hot water, while the ceramic heater is costly to maintain in terms of power consumption. Moreover, in general,
The floor panel for heating does not have to be formed with a single floor panel in consideration of various floor areas, ease of construction, etc. A heat source such as a resin tube or a ceramic heater is attached to the panel to make it into a unit, and these floor panels are joined together to form a single floor panel. Therefore, to perform floor heating with floor panels divided in this way,
It is necessary to control the temperature for each floor panel or to connect the heat sources built into the floor panel in a loop to centrally control the heat sources.When controlling the temperature for each floor panel, maintenance costs are maintained. On the other hand, when the resin tubes or the ceramic heaters are connected in a loop shape, the work of connecting these leads to a longer construction period. A floor panel united with a heat source is usually designed according to a standard such as 6 tatami mat or 8 tatami mat. When laying on a floor surface other than such a standard, the floor panel lacks or There is a surplus part,
A floor panel with a heat source integrally assembled cannot be freely cut to match the floor surface, and the heat source part cannot be nailed, and the heat source part is a surface side floor material. It is covered, and it is difficult to work because it cannot be seen directly during construction.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem and requires less labor for maintenance, easy construction, and a floor panel for floor heating capable of laying a floor panel according to the floor surface. The purpose is to provide.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, spacers are interspersed between a pair of upper and lower floor materials to form a floor panel having a gap between the floor materials, and the floor panel is placed on the floor surface. The hot air passage is formed by laying the floor panels and communicating the gaps between the adjacent floor panels with each other.

[0006]

In the floor panel of the present invention, the floor panels are laid together on the floor surface, and when hot air is circulated in the hot air passage formed in the floor panel, the hot air passages sealed by the upper and lower floor materials are provided. Is heated to heat the floor material, and heat is radiated to the room from the upper floor material. Since the floor panel simply forms a hot air passage for circulating warm air, when the floor panel is laid on the floor surface and an excess portion is generated in the floor panel, the floor panel can be cut according to the floor surface.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A floor heating system of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a plywood such as a veneer having a thickness of about 5 mm, the surface of which is covered with a reflective layer 2 made of aluminum foil. A floor material, and a floor material 3 which is the same material as the floor material 1 and has the same thickness as the floor material 1 is arranged in parallel to each other via a spacer 4 made of veneer having a thickness of about 12 mm. To be done. Then, the pair of upper and lower floor materials 1, 3 and the spacer 4 interposed between the floor materials 1, 3 are integrated, and the spacer 4 allows the rectangular floor panel 5 having a gap A between the floor materials 1, 3. To form. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of spacers 4 interposed between the upper and lower floor members 1 and 3 are provided at equal intervals in the vertical direction in the drawing, and each spacer 4 is arranged at intervals in rows. Are scattered around.

As shown in FIG. 4, the floor panel 5 is constructed by connecting a plurality of floor panels 5 and laying them on the floor. In this case, by arranging the spacers 4 interposed between the floor materials 1 and 3 in a scattered manner, the gaps A formed between the adjacent floor panels 5 communicate with each other to form the warm air passage B. To be done. In addition, among the floor panels 5 laid on the floor surface, the three that are arranged on the right side edge of the room in the figure are the air-supply floor panels 5A,
The three left side edges arranged in the drawing are intake floor panels 5B, and the lower floor material 1 of each floor panel 5A, 5B is arranged under the floor, for example, circulating warm air type heating such as a fan heater. A mounting hole 9 into which the air supply duct 7 and the intake duct 8 connected to the device 6 are fitted is formed. Then, a finishing material 10 such as flooring, cork tile, or carpet is laid on the surface of the upper floor material 3 of each floor panel 5, 5A, 5B.

Since the air supply floor panel 5A directly receives warm air from the heating device 6, the air supply floor panel 5A does not become locally hot.
Unlike other panels made of veneer, the upper and lower floor materials 1, 3 that make up the sheet are formed by attaching a metallic material such as a copper plate, which has excellent heat conductivity, to a veneer plate, etc., to uniformly generate heat. The heat is dissipated by transferring heat to the.

The operation of the present invention configured as above will be described.

First, when a controller (not shown) is operated to operate the heating device 6, warm air passes through the air supply duct 7 by a fan (not shown) built in the heating device 6,
The space A in the air supply floor panel 5A arranged on the right side edge of the room in the figure, that is, the hot air passage B, enters the hot air passage B of each floor panel 5 adjacent to the air supply floor panel 5A. And returns to the heating device 6 from the air supply duct 7 attached to the intake floor panel 5B, and the hot air is circulated in the hot air passage B again.
By circulating hot air in the hot air passage B in this way,
Each floor panel 5, 5A, 5B is heated, and at this time, the reflection layer 2 covering the surface of the lower floor material 1 of each floor panel 5, 5A, 5B.
Thus, the heat is reflected to the upper floor material 3 side, and the upper floor material 3 side can be efficiently heated. And the heated upper floor material 3
It radiates heat from the room and warms the room.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the heating device 6 and the floor panels 5, 5A, 5B are separated from each other and configured independently of each other, and the floor panels 5, 5A, 5B themselves are provided with a heat source. Since it is not assembled, the floor panel 5, 5A, 5
Maintenance such as peeling B is unnecessary. In addition, the hot air passage A for circulating the hot air is sealed by the upper and lower floor materials 1 and 3, and has a thickness of 12 formed by the spacer 4.
Since the narrow hot air passage A having such a narrow width can be warmed with a small amount of heat energy, and the capacity of the heating device 6 used as a heat source can be suppressed, maintenance costs are not required. In addition, each floor panel 5, 5A, 5B that circulates warm air occupies most of the floor panel 5 and upper and lower floor materials 1, 3 that compose the intake floor panel 5B are formed by relatively inexpensive plywood such as veneer Therefore, the cost can be reduced. Moreover, each floor panel 5, 5A, 5B
When the warm air passes through the upper floor, as described above, the narrow hot air passage A sealed by the warm air is quickly warmed, and the upper floor is reflected by the reflected heat from the reflective layer 2 of the lower floor material 1. Since the material 3 is efficiently heated, there is little heat loss, and heat can be radiated from the heated upper floor material 3 to efficiently warm the air in the room, which is low in cost. The heating efficiency is also high. Then, the floor panel 5 for air supply and the floor panel 5 for air supply in which the air supply duct 7 and the air intake duct 8 of the circulating warm air type heating device 6 are mounted.
A and the floor panel 5B for intake are independently configured, and they are connected to each other and laid on the floor surface. Therefore, depending on the structure of the building, each floor panel 5, 5A is arranged so that warm air can be distributed most easily. , 5B can be freely combined, the floor panel 5 can be easily cut according to the shape of the floor surface, and nailing can be performed. Therefore, the workability is excellent. Further, since the floor panel 5 of the present invention does not have a heat source in the floor panel 5 itself, and has a very simple structure having the warm air passage B by simply interposing the spacer 4, it is only used for floor heating. Instead, it can be used, for example, as a substitute for a base material for a two-by-four house. In this case, the hot air passage B has an air layer structure, and functions as a heat insulating panel.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In this example, a duct fan is installed in the air supply duct 7 and the intake duct 8 connected to the circulating warm air type heating device 6.
A sensor 21 such as a thermostat is installed at an appropriate position in the hot air passage B while incorporating 20. Then, by inputting a signal from the sensor 21 to a control circuit (not shown) of the controller, and controlling the duct fan 20 by this control circuit to control the amount of warm air circulated in the warm air passage A, It is possible to make the temperature uniform. Further, by controlling the duct fan 20 with the control circuit of this controller, for example, immediately after use, when there is a temperature difference between the air supply floor panel 5A and the intake floor panel 5B, the inside of the hot air passage A is It is possible to increase the ventilation rate of the warm air circulating in the room and shorten the rise time to provide comfortable heating.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made. For example,
The spacers may be arranged in a staggered manner so that they are staggered on a row-by-row basis, and the number and arrangement position of the spacers may be set appropriately.The floor material is not limited to veneers, various plywood, In addition to such wood, other materials such as a resin plate may be used. In addition, a warm air passage may be formed by laying a floor panel on concrete such as a concrete building, and a finishing material such as mortar may be provided on the upper surface of the floor panel. Further, although the floor panel for air supply is formed of a metallic material such as a copper plate, it may be made of plywood, like other floor panels. Also, although the floor panel has a rectangular shape, the shape is not limited to this, but a square, etc.
It may be set appropriately.
