Application prospects of power generation floor tiles, disadvantages of power generation floor tiles

Urban planners and architects are very interested in this kind of floor tile, because it only needs a slight modification, it can be directly turned into tiles, and it is made of 100% of the best old car tires, which is very environmentally friendly. German tech giant Siemens has entered into a partnership with Pavigan Systems and plans to install the tiles in Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia, to power exterior lighting. At the same time, some London subway stations and shopping malls and other large places also plan to use this kind of floor tiles.

With the increase of the installation scale, the improvement of the energy conversion rate and the improvement of product technology, in the future, relying only on this stepping on the floor tile can also provide electrical energy demand for some large-scale projects, such as providing power support for the entire ** section and so on. At the same time, it is hoped that the product can be widely promoted all over the world, especially in densely populated cities, and its application efficiency will be higher.

This bright green plastic floor tile is currently being put to practical use in a grammar school in England. When students and teachers step on these tiles, the converted energy can be used to provide electricity for lighting the entire hallway. Meanwhile, in the summer of 2012, Westfield Stratford City Mall, Europe's largest shopping mall, installed this energy-converting stomping tile on the walkway outside the mall.

When it comes to power generation, most people think of solar power generation, which only needs solar panels and other power generation equipment to generate electricity, but in foreign countries, some companies have invented a "power generation floor tile", which can generate electricity only by walking.

Disadvantages of electric heating floor tiles for power generation: a. Because the electric floor is a new thing, and the state's management of it is not comprehensive, so the electric heating floor products on the market are also varied, and the market order is not standardized. B. Because the development time of electric ceramic tiles is not long, some related knowledge is also relatively lacking, and the overall concept is very confusing.

c. Because there is a big difference in the skill type of the imperial art, it is systematic. The cost of making is also worlds apart, so it is completely different, so going to Buyan will make consumers at a loss. d. Because the state pays little attention to it, the guidance is not comprehensive enough.

Heating floor tiles are heating tiles, which have high application prospects.

Heating tile is not a new product in the industry, around 2000 in Zibo, Shandong Province there are people to try this, around 2010 in Foshan has heating bricks in sales, after 2014 a number of professional heating brick brands have been launched, and some ceramic tile brands have also added heating bricks, to the current conservative estimate of the brand of heating bricks is not less than 50.

Professional heating brick brand, most of them are professional managers to start a business, in order to control risks, the scale of investment is not large, low-cost operation is the majority, the company three or five people will be the boss, business, finance, administration, documentary and other positions all inclusive. Most brands have annual sales of between one or two million, and those with annual sales of more than three million are already considered big brands, of course, there are less than one million. The brand of heating bricks is added, and the heating bricks are only soy sauce in the entire product series.

Due to the small influence of professional heating brick brands, few channels and weak strength, the powerful ceramic tile brands have pushed the heating bricks, but the force is insufficient, coupled with the need for continuous improvement and improvement of heating bricks in use, the sales volume of the entire market is still small, so it has not attracted too much attention from people in the ceramic industry. However, in my opinion, the heating tile has a great prospect and will definitely heat up!

The first is that there is a large consumer market.

As the state and individuals pay more and more attention to environmental protection, it is the general trend for the northern provinces to switch from coal to electricity for heating in winter; With the improvement of China's economic level, residents in the southern provinces are no longer hard to resist in the face of wet and cold weather in winter, but try to install heating equipment, which provides a huge market opportunity for electric floor heating.

Secondly, the electric heating system of heating bricks has been quite mature.

A little understanding of the electric heating market, you will find that some enterprises specializing in the production of electric floor heating, with annual sales of hundreds of millions, or even billions, but the market can not see these brands of stores and products, and have not even heard of this brand. Then there is only one possibility for the product to have such a large sales: through professional engineering channels, directly into the engineering project.

Because the project is facing the most professional customers, and there are national regulatory departments to do the final acceptance of the project, so all the products that enter the project will be relatively mature. Heating tile is actually to compound these mature electric floor heating products to the bottom of the tile, as long as the enterprise is willing to work hard, willing to pay the corresponding cost, there is basically no doubt about product performance.

The third is that the retail channels of electric floor heating enterprises are not smooth, and ceramic tiles are the best carrier of retail sales channels for electric floor heating products.

Personally, I think that the electric floor heating system as a new type of product, has not yet found a suitable retail channel, put it in the hardware market and bulbs, switches, wires, etc. together is obviously not suitable, then enter the home appliance channel and refrigerators, washing machines together is even more inappropriate, with the decorative building materials channel to go, and not familiar with the industry has no confidence, so the enterprise to establish sales channels is difficult, the cost is high, this may be the reason why these enterprises can only make efforts in engineering, but the retail market is difficult to see.

It is made of stainless steel and recyclable materials. The green surface of the floor tiles is made of recycled old tires, and the internal piezoelectric elements are made of recycled aluminum, and the process of generating electricity is pollution-free.

Durable. After testing, it is shown that the stepping limit of a floor tile can reach 20 million times, and it is guaranteed to withstand at least 8 million times during the service life and the service life is at least 5 years.

The prospects are great. Cook said that the average person walks 15 million steps in a lifetime, and the potential of Pavigan tiles speaks for itself. The tiles are designed for high-traffic areas such as subway stations, schools, shopping malls, etc., and it is not difficult to imagine that if hundreds of thousands of people were to be laid with such green bricks, the road under people's feet would become a huge power plant.

To the delight of urban planners and architects, the tiles can be turned into tiles with a slight modification.

Campbell Cook's 60 cm long and 45 cm wide floor tiles are 5% collected and used to light up an LED light that lights up the tiles when pedestrians step on them, while the remaining 95% can be used for other purposes or stored in batteries for other purposes.

This means that, once the tiles are applied, much of the energy generated by people stepping on the street will be collected and used for use, and the pedestrians themselves may not even know they are contributing to the generation of electricity.

At the same time, the floor tiles are also waterproof, can be used in rain, snow and freezing conditions, and each floor tile has a lifespan of 5 years, or the equivalent of 20000000 steps. However, Campbell Cook said that in theory, the life of such floor tiles is 20 years.
