Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting systems, and in particular to an intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting system for steel structure roofs. Background Art
[0002] In extreme rain and snow weather in winter, the probability of steel structure damage is relatively high. The main reasons for damage are as follows: (1) In northern regions, rain and snow last for a long time and are strong. There is too much snow on the roof. If it is not cleared in time, it will inevitably lead to an increase in roof load, and the structural load may reach its limit and be damaged. (2) In northern regions, the temperature difference between day and night is large in winter. The temperature rises during the day and the snow melts. If the accumulated water is not removed in time, the temperature drops at night and the accumulated water will freeze into ice, increasing the roof load. (3) Due to economic reasons, the quality of steel structure projects is particularly dependent on the rationality of design and construction. If the structure is not properly set up and the connection is not handled properly, the safety capacity of the structure will be greatly reduced.
[0003] In order to avoid the collapse of steel structure roofs due to ice and snow in winter, a snow-melting and ice-melting system for steel structure roofs is urgently needed. At present, the snow-melting and ice-removing methods used are mostly spreading snow-melting agents and traditional heating methods. Although spreading snow-melting agents has a low cost, it will corrode the steel structure roof and is difficult to implement; the traditional heating method is greatly affected by human factors, cannot intelligently control the temperature, the heating is unstable, the energy consumption is high, and the cost is high. To this end, the utility model combines an intelligent control system, an environmental monitoring system and a snow-melting and ice-melting system to design an intelligent snow-melting and ice-melting system for steel structure roofs.
