Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0127048 filed on Oct 23, 2018 - Embodiments of the invention relate to a surface heating sheet assembly including a surface heating sheet of a woven type, which has flexibility and electric conductivity and generates heat by applied electricity.
- Generally, heating elements are classified into a linear heating element made of a metal wire or a ceramic wire, a bulk heating element such as graphite, and a surface heating element (a sheet-typed heating element) having a heating element of a film shape coated on a flat electrode. In the surface heating element among them, a metallic, ceramic-based, or carbon-based heating layer is coated on a flat metal electrode, and upper and lower portions of the heating layer are sealed with an insulator.
- Recently, there is a need to manufacture a surface heating element having a shape of a curved surface, which is not a flat surface, or a flexible surface heating element being able to be flexibly bent during use. However, since there are limitations of flexibility of a substrate having a surface heating element and flexibility of a heating material coated on the substrate, cracking or performance deterioration occurs in the surface heating element having flexibility. Alternatively, a heating material is brittle and thus a surface heating element having the heating material is easily broken, or a heat generating property or heating efficiency of a surface heating element, which is manufactured by filling a heating material inside a substrate having a network structure, is not superior.
- For example, a carbon-based electrode expected to be a surface heating element is not easily used for a long period of time due to a problem that the carbon-based electrode is oxidized at a high temperature, and is brittle and easily cracked due to an impact. In addition, a surface heating element, which is manufactured by coating a far-infrared ceramic-based heating element on a metal substrate, cannot be used in the state that the surface heating element is largely bent due to a limitation of bend or flexibility of the ceramic-based heating element.
- In order to overcome this problem, a technique of forming a linear heating element using a conductive material and weaving the linear heating element to manufacture a surface heating element is known. As in
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2008-0090068 - In the conventional technique, since a metal wire cannot be woven itself, a surface heating element is manufactured by using a weaving yarn made through twisting a common fiber and a metal fiber together, or by coating a metal on a surface of a non-conductive polymer yarn and then weaving it. However, when the surface heating element is manufactured or woven by the above method, the surface heating element is not flexible, and a manufacturing process thereof is complicated and a manufacturing cost thereof is increased.

The facing surface may face the heating sheet exposed by the resin layer and the electrode portion. The metal film may be connected to the heating sheet exposed by the resin layer and the electrode portion by the compression bonding of the upper connector portion and the lower connector portion so that the connector portion is electrically connected to the heating sheet exposed by the resin layer and the electrode portion.

Alternatively, the coupling portion may be formed of an adhesive or a double-sided adhesive tape. - The coupling portion is for attaching the surface
heating sheet assembly 10 including the metallic woven fabric according to the embodiment to a surface of a fabric covering a person or a specific facility to maintain or to raise a temperature of a corresponding portion at a desired value. - Therefore, the electrode portions 22a and 22b are provided with a general connector (not shown) to be connected to another electricity supply member at ends of the electrode portions 22a and 22b.
- Further, as shown in
FIG. 3 , the electrode portions 22a and 22b may further include atemperature sensor 24. Thetemperature sensor 24 may preferably have a length to have an end portion protruding than an end position of the electrode portion 22a or 22b and thus reach theheating sheet 12 to be able to measure a temperature at an end position of theheating sheet 12. - The
temperature sensor 24 described above may apply or supply the measured temperature to a controller (not shown) provided in a power supply apparatus (not shown) or the like to allow the controller to control a power supply to theheating sheet 12.
Claims (6)
