DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ceramic plate for cooling and heating used for dogs and cats and the like, and particularly has an excellent heat retaining and cooling effect, and also has a sterilizing and deodorizing effect during use. It relates to a ceramic plate that is used for both cooling and heating.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Dogs and cats are cited as typical pet animals, and are recently treated with great care like family members.
Dogs used as guard dogs are kept outdoors in kennels, and dogs used as pets are kept indoors. Cats are also allowed to move freely, mainly indoors.

[0003] In general, dogs are susceptible to heat, and dogs kept outdoors cool out in the shade of trees and shade during summer days, surpassing the heat. In addition, dogs kept indoors prevented the rise in body temperature on the bedding containing the cooling agent.

[0004] Also, cats are vulnerable to cold, and in the winter, they are warm in futons, cushions and kotatsu. Also,
A heat retaining device containing a heating wire has also been developed, and has survived the cold on the heat retaining device.

[0005]

However, countermeasures against heat in the shade of a tree or in the shade have not been able to provide a sufficient effect, and dogs have a severe life in summer. Further, in the case of the bedding containing the cooling agent, it is necessary to cool the cooling agent in a freezer. Furthermore, not only was it difficult to take out and put in the cooling agent, but it was impossible to maintain cooling for a long time.

[0006] In addition, cats that use a futon, a kotatsu, or a warmer to keep warm are problematic in that hair loss and odor, bacteria and dirt adhere to bedding and furniture, and pet odors are trapped indoors. Was.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a low-cost effect of keeping warm and cool, realizing a comfortable life for dogs and cats, and efficiently removing odors, dirt, germs and the like during use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ceramic plate which can be used in combination with cooling and heating.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a ceramic plate for cooling and heating according to the present invention comprises a ceramic base, a heat conductive plate provided on one side of the base, and a heat conductive plate. And a Peltier element installed on the conductive plate.

A titanium oxide comprising an amorphous titanic acid solution (PTA sol) and a peroxo-modified anatase (PA sol) was baked on one surface of the base, opposite to the heat conducting plate.

[0010] In winter, when a cat warms up on a ceramic plate, the conductor of the Peltier element is connected to a DC power supply, and the ceramic plate is set in a warm state. At this time, since the heat conduction plate and the ceramic base are heated by the heat temperature from the Peltier element, the cat can comfortably spend on the warm ceramic plate.

In the summer, when a dog cools on a pottery board,
The conductor of the Peltier element is connected to a DC power supply, and the ceramic plate is set in a cooled state. At this time, the heat conduction plate and the ceramic base are cooled by the cool air from the Peltier element, so that the dog can comfortably spend on the cool ceramic plate.

Further, by baking titanium oxide comprising an amorphous titanic acid solution (PTA sol) and a peroxo-modified anatase (PA sol) on a base, it is difficult for dirt to adhere during use, and cleaning is facilitated at the same time. ,
A clean state can always be maintained. Further, the air around the ceramic plate can be cleaned.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ceramic plate according to the present invention; 1 is a perspective view showing the front side of the ceramic plate, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the back side of the ceramic plate, FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view around the Peltier element, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the Peltier element, and FIG. FIG. 6 shows a use state diagram in which the ceramic plate is kept warm, and FIG. 6 shows a use state diagram in which the ceramic plate is cooled.

The ceramic plate 1 includes a ceramic base 2 and the base 2.
And a Peltier element 10 provided on the heat conductive plate 5.

The base 2 is made of pottery made of pottery clay as a main material, mixed with feldspar or quartz, and baked, and is formed in a size that allows a dog or cat to lie down. In addition, by providing a depression at the center of the base 2, it can be used as a container for protecting small animals such as chicks and other livestock.

On the back surface 4 of the base 2, a heat conducting plate 5
Is installed. The material of the heat conductive plate 3 is not limited, but is preferably a metal having a high thermal conductivity, particularly copper or a metal mixed with copper. A Peltier element 10 is provided on the upper surface of the heat conductive plate 5.

The Peltier element 10 is formed by a ceramic plate 11 on the upper and lower surfaces and a semiconductor element 12 erected between the ceramic plates 11, and a conductor 14 is connected to the heat conducting members 13 at both ends. I have. The conductor 1
4 is connected to the + terminal and the − terminal of the DC power supply 15.

The Peltier element 10 can generate or absorb heat at the contact point between the ceramic plate 11 and the semiconductor element 12 by applying a DC voltage of 6 to 12 V from the DC power supply 15. Therefore, it is possible to heat or cool the main body by changing the connection of the conductor 14 to the + terminal and the-terminal.

By connecting the conducting wire 14 of the Peltier element 10 to a DC power supply 15 in a heated state, the Peltier element 10 is heated, and the heat temperature is transmitted from the heat conducting plate 5 to the base 2 so that the entire ceramic plate 1 is heated. Heated.
