Abstract

A pavement element is revealed. The pavement element includes a thermally conductive covering element and a solar collector frame. The thermally conductive covering element is a foamed metal disposed with a plurality of through holes for providing slip resistance and drainage function. Moreover, the solar collector frame collects heat and then the heat is transferred to the thermally conductive covering element so as to cause high temperature for killing insect larvae or eggs attached to the thermally conductive covering element.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pavement element comprising:
 at least one thermally conductive covering element in a geometric shape; and   a solar collector frame wrapped around the thermally conductive covering element.   
     
     
         2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermally conductive covering element is disposed with a plurality of through holes and is made from thermally conductive material. 
     
     
         3 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the thermally conductive covering element is a foamed metal having a plurality of through holes. 
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the foamed metal is porous aluminum. 
     
     
         5 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the geometric shape of the thermally conductive covering element is tetragonal. 
     
     
         6 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the geometric shape of the thermally conductive covering element is beehive. 
     
     
         7 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the solar collector frame is a metal heat pipe that is a hollow tube and having an outer metal tube wall and an inner thermally conductive lining. 
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the thermally conductive lining is a sintered layer, a network layer or slots. 
     
     
         9 . The device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the metal heat pipe is made from copper material. 
     
     
         10 . The device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein there is a negative pressure within the metal heat pipe. 
     
     
         11 . The device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the metal heat pipe is filled with a liquid. 
     
     
         12 . The device as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the liquid is water or ethanol. 
     
     
         13 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the solar collector frame includes:
 a transparent heat pipe that is filled with water; and   a heat absorbing part mounted in the transparent heat pipe.   
     
     
         14 . The device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the heat absorbing part is made from metal. 
     
     
         15 . The device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the heat absorbing part is made from grey body material.
