Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of roof deicing, and more particularly to a green snow-melting and deicing construction method for steel structure roofs in severely cold regions. Background Art
[0002] In extremely cold regions, rooftop snow accumulation and icicles on eaves are serious problems in winter. Hanging icicles can damage eaves or even fall, causing personal injury and property damage. Heavy snow can also cause roofs to deform or collapse, posing a major safety hazard. Existing rooftop ice and snow melting methods mostly use electric heating, which consumes a lot of energy. In addition, during construction, the ice and snow melting device is not tightly integrated with the steel structure roof, and the construction process is not perfect, resulting in low snow melting efficiency, high energy consumption, and poor stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a green snow melting and de-icing steel structure roof construction method with perfect construction technology, energy saving and environmental protection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Specifically, step S1 includes conducting a detailed survey of the construction site, measuring the size, slope, and steel structure layout parameters of the roof, and recording climate data for cold regions, including average temperature, snowfall, and sunshine hours. Based on the survey data and in combination with the design requirements of the ice and snow melting device, a detailed design of the steel structure roof is conducted, construction drawings are drawn, and the installation location and connection method of each component are clarified.
[0005] Specifically, step S2 includes preparing steel structure materials, including steel columns, steel beams, and purlins, ensuring that their quality meets national standards and performing anti-corrosion treatment on the surface; purchasing relevant components of the ice-melting and snow-melting device, including but not limited to focusing balls, light guides, insulation pipes, metal heat sinks, corrugated heat absorbing plates, heat dissipation fins, ventilation pipes, fans, electric heating wires, and electric heaters, checking whether the specifications and performance of each component meet the design requirements, and performing an appearance inspection on the metal heat sinks and corrugated heat absorbing plates to ensure that there are no deformation, cracks or defects; preparing the tools and equipment required for construction, including but not limited to electric welders, cutting machines, drilling machines, cranes, and measuring instruments, and debugging and calibrating the equipment to ensure its normal operation.
[0006] Specifically, step S3 includes organizing technical training for construction personnel, familiarizing them with construction drawings, construction techniques and safety operating procedures, focusing on explaining the installation points and precautions of ice-melting and snow-melting devices; conducting safety briefings, emphasizing safety measures for high-altitude operations and electrical construction, and equipping them with safety protection equipment.
[0007] The step S4 is specifically as follows: Installation of steel columns and beams: According to the construction drawings, use a crane to lift the steel columns to the designed position, adjust the verticality and elevation of the steel columns, and secure them to the foundation with anchor bolts; install the steel beams, welding or bolting the steel beams to the steel columns to form the steel structure frame; check the flatness and connection strength of the steel beams to ensure the stability of the steel structure frame; Purlin installation: Install purlins on the steel beams. The spacing between purlins is determined according to the roofing material and the layout requirements of the ice and snow melting device. Bolt or weld the purlins to the steel beams to ensure that the purlins are neatly arranged and evenly spaced. Align the purlins to ensure that their top surface elevation meets the design requirements, providing a flat foundation for the subsequent installation of roof panels and ice and snow melting devices. Installation of roof support system: Install the roof support system, including horizontal supports, vertical supports and corner supports, to enhance the overall rigidity and stability of the steel structure roof; the installation of the support system complies with the design requirements, and the connection nodes are firm and reliable.
[0008] The step S5 is specifically as follows: Installation of the focusing ball and light pipe: According to the design drawings, install the focusing ball in a suitable location on the roof, with the installation angle of the focusing ball facing the direction of sufficient sunlight to ensure maximum sunlight collection. Use a bracket to fix the focusing ball to the purlin or steel structure frame, and adjust the height and angle of the bracket to align the center of the focusing ball with the entrance of the light pipe. Install the light pipe, connecting one end of the light pipe to the focusing ball and leading the other end into the insulation pipe, corresponding to the position of the corrugated heat absorbing plate. The light pipe connection is tight and sealed with sealant or sealing ring to prevent rainwater and dust from entering. Installation of insulation pipes and metal vapor chambers: Lay insulation pipes above the purlins. The direction of the insulation pipes is determined by the roof slope and snowmelt requirements, ensuring that the ventilation pipes are evenly distributed under the roof. The insulation pipes are connected by butt-jointing or sleeve-jointing, and the joints are sealed with insulation material to reduce heat loss. A metal vapor chamber is installed horizontally in the center of the insulation pipe. The metal vapor chamber is fixed to the inner wall of the insulation pipe using a bracket to ensure its horizontality and stability. The upper end of the metal vapor chamber is fixed to the corrugated heat absorber, and the lower end is fixed to the heat sink fins. The connection method is welding or bolting to ensure good thermal conductivity. Installation of the corrugated heat absorber and heat sink fins: Install the corrugated heat absorber on the upper end of the metal vapor chamber, with the corrugated structure facing the exit of the light guide tube to increase the sunlight absorption area. Use bolts or rivets to fix the corrugated heat absorber to the metal vapor chamber, ensuring a firm connection and a smooth surface. Install heat sink fins on the lower end of the metal vapor chamber, with the heat sink fins evenly distributed below the metal vapor chamber to form a good heat exchange with the air inside the insulation tube. Connect the heat sink fins to the metal vapor chamber by welding or clipping to ensure heat dissipation efficiency. Ventilation pipe and fan installation: Install ventilators on both sides of the lower end of the metal soaking plate inside the insulation pipe. The number and spacing of ventilators should be determined based on the roof area and snowmelt requirements. One end of the ventilator should be connected to the inside of the insulation pipe, and the other end should extend below the roof. The ventilators should be evenly distributed throughout the steel structure roof. Ensure that the ventilators are installed unobstructed to avoid blockage. Install the fan, secure it to the outside of the insulation pipe, and connect it to the lower end of the metal soaking plate inside the pipe via a pipe. The fan model and power should be selected based on the volume of the insulation pipe and the air flow requirements, ensuring that the air in the pipe is fully in contact with the heat sink fins and heated. Installation of electric heating wire and electric heater: Lay the electric heating wire inside the metal soaking pan. The electric heating wire should be arranged in a spiral or serpentine shape and evenly distributed inside the metal soaking pan to ensure uniform heating. Connect both ends of the electric heating wire to the electric heater. When connecting, pay attention to the insulation and waterproofing of the wires to avoid short circuit failures. Install the electric heater on the roof. When connecting the electric heater to the power supply, set overload protection and leakage protection devices to ensure safe use of electricity.
[0009] The step S6 is specifically as follows: Laying of wires and cables: Laying wires and cables connecting electric heating wires, electric heaters, and fan equipment. Use special cables that are resistant to high and low temperatures and moisture-proof to meet the requirements for use in extremely cold areas. Lay the wires and cables along the steel structure frame or purlins and use cable troughs or conduits to protect them from mechanical damage. When passing through insulation pipes and roof panels, seal them properly to prevent rainwater and moisture from entering. Installation of control equipment: Install temperature sensors and snow sensors for real-time monitoring of roof temperature and snow thickness parameters; the temperature sensor is installed under the roof panel and inside the insulation pipe, and the snow sensor is installed near the roof; install a control system to connect the monitoring equipment and the electrical equipment of the ice and snow melting device to achieve automatic control; the control system automatically starts or shuts down the focusing ball, fan, and electric heater equipment according to the monitored temperature and snow accumulation conditions to achieve energy-saving operation.
[0010] The step S7 is specifically as follows: Laying the insulation layer: Lay the insulation layer between the purlins of the steel structure roof. Use high-efficiency insulation materials, and the thickness is determined according to the insulation requirements of severely cold regions. Lay the insulation layer flat and tightly to avoid gaps and reduce heat loss. Wrap the insulation material around the outside of the insulation pipe to further improve the insulation effect. The insulation material and the insulation pipe should be tightly fitted and fixed with tape or cable ties. Roof panel installation: The roof panels are made of steel structure roof panels. The panels are laid in accordance with the roof slope requirements. The overlaps are sealed with sealant or waterproof tape to prevent rainwater leakage. Special waterproof treatment is performed at the connection between the roof panels and the ice and snow melting device. Waterproof casing and sealant are used for sealing to ensure the waterproof performance of the roof. Laying of waterproof membrane: Lay waterproof membrane on top of the roof panel. Choose low-temperature resistant membrane suitable for cold areas. The waterproof membrane should be laid flat and without wrinkles. The overlap width meets the requirements of the specifications. Use hot melt or cold bonding method to ensure the waterproof effect.
[0011] The step S8 is specifically as follows: Equipment debugging: debug the focusing ball and adjust its installation angle to ensure that it can accurately collect sunlight and irradiate it onto the wavy heat absorbing plate through the light guide; turn on the fan and check whether the fan's operating direction and air volume meet the design requirements, and whether the air flows smoothly in the insulation pipe; test the heating function of the electric heating wire. After turning on the power, check whether the electric heating wire is heating normally, whether the temperature rises evenly, and whether the control of the electric heater is sensitive and reliable; debug the control system in conjunction with the simulation of different weather conditions and snow accumulation, and observe whether the control system can automatically start the corresponding equipment. For example, when the roof temperature is below 0℃ and there is snow, the fan and electric heater will be automatically started, and the equipment will be automatically shut down when the snow melts; Performance testing: Conduct snow melting efficiency tests by laying a certain thickness of snow on the roof, activating the ice and snow melting device, recording the time and energy consumption for snow melting, and evaluating whether the snow melting efficiency meets the design requirements; test the roof's thermal insulation performance by measuring the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the roof in cold weather and checking whether the insulation layer and insulation pipes are effective; conduct waterproof performance tests by observing whether there are any leaks on the roof through artificial water spraying or natural rainfall, especially whether the connection between the ice and snow melting device and the roof is properly sealed; Acceptance and delivery: Organize construction, design, and supervision units to conduct project acceptance, check whether the construction quality meets the design drawings and specifications, review equipment commissioning and performance test reports, and ensure that the functions of the ice-melting and snow-removing device and the steel structure roof are normal; organize construction materials, including construction drawings, material inspection reports, hidden project acceptance records, and equipment commissioning records, and archive them; deliver the project to the user, provide instruction manuals and maintenance manuals, and guide the user to correctly use and maintain the snow-melting and ice-removing steel structure roof system.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Through detailed construction process steps, the ice-melting and snow-melting device is efficiently integrated with the steel structure roof, ensuring accurate installation and secure connections of all components, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system. A combination of solar heating by concentrating balls and auxiliary electric heating is used to fully utilize solar energy, reduce energy consumption, and comply with green environmental protection requirements. The wavy heat-absorbing plate increases the sunlight absorption area, and the heat dissipation fins enhance heat exchange efficiency and speed up snow melting. During the construction process, attention was paid to thermal insulation and waterproofing treatment, which reduced heat loss and rainwater leakage, ensured the thermal insulation and waterproofing properties of the steel structure roof, and extended the roof's service life. The electrical system uses automated control, and real-time feedback on roof conditions is provided through monitoring equipment, enabling intelligent operation of the ice-melting and snow-melting device, improving the system's intelligence level and energy-saving effects.

The fan model and power should be selected based on the volume of the insulation pipe and the air flow requirements, ensuring that the air in the pipe is fully in contact with the heat sink fins and heated. Installation of electric heating wire and electric heater: Lay the electric heating wire inside the metal soaking pan. The electric heating wire should be arranged in a spiral or serpentine shape and evenly distributed inside the metal soaking pan to ensure uniform heating. Connect both ends of the electric heating wire to the electric heater. When connecting, pay attention to the insulation and waterproofing of the wires to avoid short circuit failures. Install the electric heater on the roof. When connecting the electric heater to the power supply, set overload protection and leakage protection devices to ensure safe use of electricity.

The green snow melting and ice removal construction method for steel structure roofs in severe cold regions according to claim 1 is characterized by: The step S6 is specifically as follows: Laying of wires and cables: Laying wires and cables connecting electric heating wires, electric heaters, and fan equipment. Use special cables that are resistant to high and low temperatures and moisture-proof to meet the requirements for use in extremely cold areas. Lay the wires and cables along the steel structure frame or purlins and use cable troughs or conduits to protect them from mechanical damage. When passing through insulation pipes and roof panels, seal them properly to prevent rainwater and moisture from entering. Installation of control equipment: Install temperature sensors and snow sensors for real-time monitoring of roof temperature and snow thickness parameters; the temperature sensor is installed under the roof panel and inside the insulation pipe, and the snow sensor is installed near the roof; install a control system to connect the monitoring equipment and the electrical equipment of the ice and snow melting device to achieve automatic control; the control system automatically starts or shuts down the focusing ball, fan, and electric heater equipment according to the monitored temperature and snow accumulation conditions to achieve energy-saving operation.
8. The green snow-melting and ice-removing construction method for steel structure roofs in severe cold regions according to claim 1 is characterized by: The step S7 is specifically as follows: Laying the insulation layer: Lay the insulation layer between the purlins of the steel structure roof. Use high-efficiency insulation materials, and the thickness is determined according to the insulation requirements of severely cold regions. Lay the insulation layer flat and tightly to avoid gaps and reduce heat loss. Wrap the insulation material around the outside of the insulation pipe to further improve the insulation effect. The insulation material and the insulation pipe should be tightly fitted and fixed with tape or cable ties. Roof panel installation: The roof panels are made of steel structure roof panels. The panels are laid in accordance with the roof slope requirements. The overlaps are sealed with sealant or waterproof tape to prevent rainwater leakage. Special waterproof treatment is performed at the connection between the roof panels and the ice and snow melting device. Waterproof casing and sealant are used for sealing to ensure the waterproof performance of the roof. Laying of waterproof membrane: Lay waterproof membrane on top of the roof panel. Choose low-temperature resistant membrane suitable for cold areas. The waterproof membrane should be laid flat and without wrinkles. The overlap width meets the requirements of the specifications. Use hot melt or cold bonding method to ensure the waterproof effect.
9. The green snow-melting and ice-removing construction method for steel structure roofs in severe cold regions according to claim 1 is characterized by: The step S8 is specifically as follows: Equipment debugging: debug the focusing ball and adjust its installation angle to ensure that it can accurately collect sunlight and irradiate it onto the wavy heat absorbing plate through the light guide; turn on the fan and check whether the fan's operating direction and air volume meet the design requirements, and whether the air flows smoothly in the insulation pipe; test the heating function of the electric heating wire. After turning on the power, check whether the electric heating wire is heating normally, whether the temperature rises evenly, and whether the control of the electric heater is sensitive and reliable; debug the control system in conjunction with the simulation of different weather conditions and snow accumulation, and observe whether the control system can automatically start the corresponding equipment. For example, when the roof temperature is below 0℃ and there is snow, the fan and electric heater will be automatically started, and the equipment will be automatically shut down when the snow melts; Performance test: Conduct snow melting efficiency test, lay a certain thickness of snow on the roof, start the ice and snow melting device, record the time and energy consumption of snow melting, and evaluate whether the snow melting efficiency meets the design requirements; Test the thermal insulation performance of the roof. In cold weather, measure the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the roof to check whether the insulation layer and insulation pipes are effective. Conduct waterproof performance tests. Use artificial water spraying or natural rainfall to observe whether there are any leaks on the roof, especially whether the connection between the ice and snow melting device and the roof is properly sealed. Acceptance and delivery: Organize construction, design, and supervision units to conduct project acceptance, check whether the construction quality meets the design drawings and specifications, review equipment commissioning and performance test reports, and ensure that the functions of the ice-melting and snow-removing device and the steel structure roof are normal; organize construction materials, including construction drawings, material inspection reports, hidden project acceptance records, and equipment commissioning records, and archive them; deliver the project to the user, provide instruction manuals and maintenance manuals, and guide the user to correctly use and maintain the snow-melting and ice-removing steel structure roof system.
