BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a typical embodiment of an outdoor heating device according to the present invention will be shown and described below with reference to the drawings. The outdoor heating device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is for outdoor installation, having both a heater 2 that uses gas as a fuel and an illuminator 3 that uses a combustion flame of gas as a light source. That is, the outdoor heating device 1 includes a disk-shaped base 4 attached to the ground, a post 5 standing vertically on the base 4, and a composite valve (described later) for supplying fuel gas to a burner described below. ) Is built in, a illuminator 3 protruding from the side of the fuel supply unit 6, and a heater 2 provided on the top of the fuel supply unit 6.

The heater 2 comprises a heating element 7 for accommodating a burner (described later) provided on the top of the fuel supply section 6, and an umbrella-shaped reflector 8 arranged so as to cover the heating element 7. There is. Further, inside the iron pipe, which is the post 5 on the base 4, fuel gas is passed through a composite valve in the fuel supply unit 6 to a burner in the heater 2 and the illuminator 3 (described later).
A gas pipe (to be described later) for supplying the gas is provided. Further, the fuel supply unit 6 is provided with ignition cocks 9a, 9b for switching the composite valve to supply / cut off the fuel gas to the burners in the heater 2 and the illuminator 3.

Next, in the outdoor heating apparatus 1 having such a configuration, the fuel gas supply configuration to the heater 2 and the illuminator 3 will be described in more detail. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, in the outdoor heating device 1, the gas pipe 10 formed in the post 5 has the first, second, and third combined valves 12 a in the fuel supply unit 6 via the main valve 11. , 12b, 1
It is branched and connected to 2c. The first composite valve 12a is
For the burner of the heater 2, the second and third combined valves 12b, 12
c is provided for the burner of the illuminator 3.

The heater 2 has a heating main burner 13 and a heating pilot burner 14 in the heating element 7, and the fuel gas is supplied from the first combined valve 12a by operating the ignition cock 9a. It is supposed to be done. Further, an ignition electrode 14a and a thermocouple 14b are arranged close to each other on the tip nozzle side of the heating pilot burner 14, and a seismic sensor 14c is provided on the intermediate side of the heating pilot burner 14. There is. The ignition electrode 14a opens the flow path to the heating pilot burner 14 by operating the ignition cock 9a, supplies fuel gas and ignites the gas supplied to the heating pilot burner 14. The thermocouple 14b is for monitoring the pilot flame and detecting the disappearance of the pilot flame.
4c is for detecting abnormal vibration (earthquake) at the installation location, and is configured to shut off the gas flow path to the heating pilot burner 14 by detecting the disappearance of the flame and vibration, respectively.

On the other hand, the illuminator 3 is a main burner 1 for illumination.
5 and a pilot pilot burner 16 for illumination, the first
Fuel gas is supplied from the combined valves 12b and 12c by operating the ignition cock 9b. Further, an ignition electrode 16a and a thermocouple 16b are disposed close to each other on the tip nozzle side of the lighting pilot burner 16, and a seismoscope 14 is provided at an intermediate portion of the lighting pilot burner 16.
c is provided. The ignition electrode 16a is the ignition cock 9
By operating a, the flow path to the lighting pilot burner 16 is opened, fuel gas is supplied to ignite the gas supplied to the lighting pilot burner 16, and the thermocouple 16
b and the seismic sensor 16c are safety means for monitoring the pilot flame and detecting the vibration of the earthquake, respectively.

If the outdoor heating device 1 as described above is installed in, for example, an outdoor restaurant, if it is used as a lighting device after sunset, the illuminance is smaller than that of a normal electric lighting device, but the atmosphere is rich. You can create a restaurant with a rich atmosphere. In addition, at night, even in the summer, depending on the installation location, the temperature may be much lower than during the day and heating may be required. Therefore, by operating the ignition cock 9b, the first composite valves 12b and 12c are opened to supply the fuel gas to the illumination pilot burner 16 and the ignition electrode 16a is used to illuminate the illumination pilot burner 16.
The main burner 15 for lighting is ignited and the illuminator 3 is turned on, while the first combined valve 12a is opened to supply the fuel gas to the pilot pilot burner 14 for heating and the pilot pilot burner for heating by the ignition electrode 14a. 14 is ignited and the main heating burner 13 is ignited. As a result, the heating main burner 13 burns, and infrared rays are diffused and radiated to the surroundings via the heating element 7 and the umbrella-shaped reflector 8 and can be used for heating. With such a configuration, it does not take up space and does not require electric wiring or the like unlike ordinary illuminators, and installation costs can be significantly reduced. Also, since the device itself can be used all year round, it does not become unnecessary depending on the season like a normal heater, and since the device itself looks good, the scenery around the installation environment can be improved. There is nothing to undermine.

The outdoor heating apparatus according to the present invention can also take the following embodiments. That is, in the outdoor heating device 20 as shown in FIG. 3, the windshield 21 is provided around the heating element 7 that houses the burner in the heater 2. The windshield 21 is made of heat resistant glass,
It has a cylindrical shape (see FIG. 4). The windshield 2
Material 1 other than glass can be used as long as it is heat resistant.
Further, the windshield 21 may be a polygonal cylinder as shown in FIG.

With such a structure, it is possible to prevent extinguishing and uneven flow combustion due to wind, etc.
It can be said that the heating device is suitable for outdoor use.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, outdoor heating is facilitated, and since the illuminator is provided side by side, the device itself can be used all year round. In addition, the wiring work such as the usual lighting equipment is unnecessary, and the installation cost can be reduced. In addition, the heater may be required even after the sunset even in the summer, or depending on the place of use, and unlike the conventional heater, it has a structure combined with an illuminator, so it does not take up a place to install and it has a beautiful appearance. There is nothing to undermine.
