Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] First, with reference to FIG. 1, the snow melting system of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The snow melting system 1 of the present embodiment includes a first purification tank 10 that stores and purifies warm water obtained by reusing the hot water for bathing, a water storage tank 20 that stores the purified warm water, a water heater 30 that reheats the warm water, a snow melting tank 40 that accumulates and stores snow, a watering device 50 that waters the reheated warm water onto the snow loaded in the snow melting tank 40, and a second purification tank 60 that stores and purifies the snowmelt water of the snow melted by watering.

[0012] The hot water for bathing may be supplied, for example, from the drainage path of a household bathtub to the first purification tank 10 via a predetermined pipe or the like. Since the hot water for bathing is a heat source that occurs daily, its waste heat is effectively utilized. Warm water at around 35°C after bathing can be reused from the bathing temperature of around 40°C.

[0013] The first purification tank 10 and the water storage tank 20 are connected via a predetermined pipe or the like, and the purified warm water is stored in the water storage tank 20.

[0014] Then, the water storage tank 20 and the water heater 30 are connected via a predetermined pipe or the like, pumped using a pump or the like, and the warm water is reheated by the water heater 30 to become high-temperature water at about 70°C to 80°C.

[0015] The water heater 30 and the water sprinkling device 50 are connected via a predetermined pipe or the like. The water sprinkling device 50 promotes snow melting by sprinkling the reheated high-temperature water on the snow loaded in the snow melting tank 40. The water sprinkling device 50 may be a sprinkler or the like, or a mechanism in which a plurality of minute holes are provided in a pipe. High-temperature water can constantly pour down like a shower until spring, and a circulatory state in which snow can be melted at any time can be repeated. As for the method of loading snow into the snow melting tank 40, snow may be input from a snow removal vehicle (such as a shovel truck), or it may be manual using a snow scraping tool or the like. Further, the snow melting tank 40 is provided with a known air pump at the bottom of the tank, for example, one having a plurality of minute holes provided in a hose-shaped object. The air pump discharges a large amount of air (bubbles), and the air stands up in the form of bubbles in the snow and water, and is stirred, thereby promoting decomposition and melting of the snow.

[0016] The snow melting tank 40 and the second purification tank 60 are connected via a predetermined pipe or the like. The second purification tank 60 is provided with a drainage mechanism for discharging the purified snow melting water to a road drainage ditch or the like.

[0017] Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a snow melting system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Different from the snow melting system of the above-described first embodiment, the snow melting system 1' of the present embodiment includes only a snow melting tank 40 for piling and storing snow, a water heater 30 for heating the water supplied from the snow melting tank 40, and a water sprinkling device 50 for sprinkling the heated warm water on the snow loaded in the snow melting tank.

[0018] As a business use, the snow melting tank 40 may use a container. Containers are essential in the logistics world, have the strongest strength enough to travel around the world, have world-standard (international standard) specifications, have a large number of used items, and are available at low cost. Also, the size is about 20 to 40 feet, and by using a highly strong container that is also used for simple stores and evacuation houses, a snow melting system that can be moved and does not require a location can be realized. For example, it can be installed on the ground within the company's site and can be moved on the truck bed. It has a structure and mechanism that can withstand large parking lots, and a high-performance large circulation type system that eliminates the need for conventional truck transportation of snow removal can be realized.

[0019] Unlike the snow melting system 1 of the above-described first embodiment, since the hot water for bathing is not used, the first hot water is obtained by supplying tap water or the like to the snow melting tank 40 in a predetermined manner through a predetermined pipe or the like, pumping the tap water or the like using a pump or the like, and then heating it with the water heater 30, because the snow melting tank 40 and the water heater 30 are connected via a predetermined pipe or the like.

[0020] Also, unlike the snow melting system 1 of the above-described first embodiment, as a drainage mechanism for discharging the melted snow (melt water) to an external public drainage ditch, the snow melting tank 40 may be provided with a drainage drain (a drain pipe on the floor (bottom surface) of the snow melting tank), a drainage port (a predetermined drain plug may be attached) near the lower end of the floor (bottom surface) and the wall surface of the snow melting tank 40, and the like. The snow lane as the drainage drain (for example, 300 mm square) may be provided with inclined surfaces (such as iron plates) that are substantially V-shaped in cross section from both side walls toward the central part for water collection.

[0021] According to the snow melting systems 1 and 1' of the above-described embodiments, snow can be melted more effectively and efficiently than before.

[0022] In addition, although not exemplified one by one, the present invention may be implemented with various changes including the number, size, and shape of each component within the scope not departing from the gist thereof.
