Description

  The present invention relates to a heat storage type thermal appliance using a latent heat storage material which is used for a thermal therapy for warming a part of a body and used as a health appliance or a medical appliance.

  In general, thermal storage devices, also called thermal compresses, hot packs or thermal packs, have the effect of applying heat to the human body surface to increase blood flow and relieve pain. It is said to be effective. Such a heat storage heat appliance can be used for, for example, rehabilitation after illness, elderly care, and muscle maintenance before and after sports.

  The so-called thermal pack, which is such a thermal storage device, is under the jurisdiction of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law as a medical device, falls under the category of general medical device (Category 1) or managed medical device (Category n), and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Will be shipped to the market for the first time after being investigated and certified for the suitability of the thermal pack. For this reason, thermal packs are manufactured under strict quality control and technical control, and the incidence of problems that cause technical defects or poor quality is kept low compared to general products. .

In addition, thermal characteristics indicating the main functionality of the thermal pack, medical verification of the thermal pack time, and product characteristics are studied, that is, products with characteristics from the viewpoint of efficiency, economy, safety, consideration for the environment, etc. Development is expected.
Incidentally, it is considered that the temperature in contact with the human body is appropriate within the range of 40 ° C to 43 ° C as the thermal characteristics of the thermal pack. If it exceeds 43 ° C, there is a risk of developing low-temperature burns due to the long-time heat pack on the human skin. As the calorific value, for example, a stable calorific value is required in the above temperature range for 20 to 30 minutes and a sufficient amount of heat is required for the affected part. In addition, as the thermal performance, there is a sufficient depth of penetration of the hot pack temperature into the skin, which can improve the target blood flow rate, eliminate pain, recover muscle strength, and the like.
That is, a stable sustainability of generated heat and a sufficient calorific value that penetrates deeply into the human body are necessary to effectively act as a heat pack or a heat pack.

  It is necessary to develop a thermal storage heater that seems to be most effective from the viewpoint of function, safety, and economy as a means of transmitting temperature, heat, etc. to the human body. The characteristics of temperature and quantity of heat, evaluation of effects from a medical point of view as a heat pack, handling properties as a heat pack device, cost of equipment or equipment, as well as environmental impact and safety are also subject to evaluation.

  By the way, as a known warming treatment device, a heat storage material having a melting point of 40 to 80 ° C. is filled in a water-impermeable sealed container as it is and is stored in a bag made of a water-permeable or breathable fabric. Is known (Patent Document 1).

  Also known is a heater in which a wax having a melting point near body temperature is enclosed in a container, or the wax is absorbed into a gel or the like to be subdivided into granules, dispersed in water and enclosed in the container (patent) Reference 2).

  However, in such a known technique, the heat storage material is in a liquid state or the dispersion medium of the powder heat storage material is in a liquid state, and such a heat storage material moves in the direction of gravity in the container. Therefore, it has been difficult for the thermal appliance to cover a large area regardless of the posture of the body.

  In order not to have such drawbacks, the latent heat storage agent in which the porous carrier is impregnated with a latent heat storage agent and the surface thereof is covered with a synthetic resin so that the liquefied paraffin does not flow out or dissipate. Is known (Patent Document 3).

  Furthermore, there is known a thermal pack device provided in a state of being wrapped with a rubber material or an elastomer material while preventing the powdery heat storage agent from being biased in the container (Patent Document 4).

  However, when the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is prepared in a granular form and sealed in a pouch-like container in an airtight state to prevent moisture absorption and used in an airtight state, heating and heat dissipation are repeated many times. The air that has been heated and expanded gradually from the inside of the container leaks out of the container, and the paraffinic latent heat storage agent in the sachet container that has been decompressed and crushed at atmospheric pressure is compressed and solidified. There is a problem in that the flexibility of the heating device is lost, and the fit to fit the affected part of the body is lost.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, in a heat storage thermal appliance in which a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is prepared in a powder form and sealed in a bag-like container in a hermetic state. The paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is to maintain fluidity at all times, ensure sufficient flexibility for the entire thermal apparatus, and make a thermal storage thermal apparatus excellent in fit to the affected part of the body.

  In addition, the fit obtained in this way allows sufficient area to be in contact with the human body, sufficient heat can be given to the affected area, and the characteristics of the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent are sufficiently extended. Thus, the required temperature and amount of heat are stably supplied to make a heat storage type thermal appliance having an excellent heat retaining function.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is prepared in the form of a granular material and is composed of a heating device sealed in a bag-like container, and the bag-like container is one or more sheets. An interior container having an inner wall surface formed of a material (including a sheet-like material; the same shall apply hereinafter) and an exterior container that is externally contacted through an air layer without being in close contact with the interior container, The sheet material is a granular latent heat storage material and a heat storage device that is impervious to water and a sheet material having air permeability.

  When the interior container holds the granular paraffin-based latent heat storage agent, the heat storage heat appliance of the present invention configured as described above is made from the water outside the container by the sheet material constituting the inner wall surface of the interior container. The isolated paraffinic latent heat storage agent is always kept dry, and the fluidity is not hindered by moisture. Also, even if heating and heat dissipation are repeated, the air inside the inner container communicates with the outside of the container, so that the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the inner container is maintained at an equal pressure, and the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container The fluidity is not hindered without being compacted.

The exterior container is such that the outside of such an interior container is always exposed to the air, and the air permeability of the interior container is promoted and the function of the sheet material is not hindered. The outer container need not be air permeable as long as it is made of a material that can be hermetically sealed so that it is completely airtight in use, and practically air permeable in consideration of manufacturing costs. It is formed with the material which has. In order to positively ensure air permeability, the air holes may be formed in an appropriate size.
Such an external container is preferably formed using a granular latent heat storage material and a material that is impermeable to water in order to complement the function of the above-described internal container.

Further, in order to sufficiently secure the above fit and improve the cushioning property, it is preferable that the outer container is a resilient outer container formed of an elastomer.
In this way, the paraffinic latent heat storage agent that flows freely in the interior container and has a soft feel is held in the outer container that can be further elastically deformed through the air layer, so that it responds to the pressure received from the skin and the like. It is possible to exhibit a cushioning property that can be sufficiently elastically deformed, and it becomes a so-called “skin contact” and a heat storage thermal appliance having a good tactile sensation.
In this way, flexibility is ensured for the entire heating device, and the heat storage device can be deformed according to the shape of the affected part and can have as much heat conduction area as possible and has excellent fit and cushioning properties.

  In order to make a thermal storage device that has a large latent heat of fusion and can stably supply more heat, the granular latent heat storage material is impregnated with a paraffinic latent heat storage agent in a porous carrier. A granular latent heat storage material in which a heat storage material or a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is encapsulated is preferable.

  Furthermore, as a function of the sheet material of the interior container, in order to maintain the required air permeability and further improve the function of impermeability to the granular latent heat storage material and water, the sheet material is made of a synthetic resin sheet, a metal It is preferable to use a foil or a metal-deposited synthetic resin sheet.

  As a preferable sensation temperature set in the heat storage thermal appliance, it is 40 to 43 ° C. In order to stably adjust to such a temperature, providing a heat-insulating outer container, and a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is used. It is preferably a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent having an exothermic temperature of 60 to 70 ° C. composed of a saturated hydrocarbon having 28 to 32 carbon atoms. In saturated hydrocarbons having less than 28 carbon atoms, the phase change between the liquid phase and the solid phase is less than 60 ° C., that is, not preferable because the exothermic temperature due to latent heat is less than 60 ° C., and in saturated hydrocarbons having more than 32 carbon atoms, The phase change between the liquid phase and the solid phase exceeds 70 ° C., that is, the exothermic temperature due to latent heat exceeds 70 ° C., which is not preferable.

  The present invention comprises a heating apparatus in which a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is prepared in a granular form and enclosed in a bag-like container, which is composed of an inner container and an outer container, and the sheet material of the inner container is used as a granular latent heat storage Because it is made of material and water impervious as well as air permeable, the solid and granular paraffin-based latent heat storage agent always maintains fluidity and is flexible enough for the entire heating device Is ensured, and there is an advantage that it becomes a heat storage heat appliance excellent in fit and cushioning properties against the affected part of the body.

  In addition, the fit obtained in this way makes it possible to secure a sufficient area in contact with the human body so that sufficient heat can be given to the affected area and the characteristics of the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent are sufficiently extended. Accordingly, there is an advantage that a required temperature and heat amount are stably supplied and a heat storage heat appliance having an excellent heat retaining function is obtained.

Below, embodiment of a thermal storage thermal appliance is described based on an accompanying drawing.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first embodiment is a thermal appliance in which a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent 1 prepared in a powder form is enclosed in a bag-like container 2. An interior container 3 in which a wall surface is formed of a granular raw heat storage material and a water-impermeable sheet material that is impervious to water, and is packaged through an air layer 4 without being in close contact with the interior container 3 And a first outer container 5 made of a substantially rectangular shaped body made of rubber (thickness of about 2 mm), and further, four first outer containers 5 can be arranged side by side and bent. It is a heat storage thermal appliance housed in a cloth exterior holder type second exterior container 6.

  The inner container 3 is made of one or more sheet materials having an inner wall surface, and is directly filled with the granular paraffin-based latent heat storage agent 1 as a heat medium. It is preferable to use at least a double sheet material on the wall surface of the interior container 3 to prevent leakage and to ensure waterproofness.

The required properties of the sheet material are that it has air permeability as well as impermeability to the granular latent heat storage material and water. Moreover, it is preferable to employ a material having good fastness and sealing properties.
As an example of a sheet material such as a waterproof (hydrophobic) film, a nylon sheet, an aluminum sheet, an aluminum deposited sheet, a vinyl chloride sheet, and the like are selected.

  As described above, when the air in the interior container decreases, the fluidity of the powder and beads decreases, and there is a tendency to solidify.To prevent this, the air permeability of the interior container is necessary, for example, A minute small hole (for example, 0.1 to 10 μm) that does not allow permeation of the granular latent heat storage material or water is formed in the interior container by a well-known physicochemical method to improve gas permeability inside and outside the container.

In order to give the hydrophobic sheet material air permeability (also referred to as air permeability), for example, phase separation by mixing a hydrophobic sheet with a filler such as BaSO ₄ and CaCO ₃ and a different polymer. Layers are formed, components that can be extracted in the subsequent process are microdispersed in advance in the sheet material, and the components are extracted after forming the sheet to form pores, or a fine continuous foam structure is formed using a foaming agent It can be formed by giving a microporous structure by means such as.

Specific examples include porous films made of polytetrafluoroethylene resin or urethane resin in which a large number of irregularly shaped micropores having a pore diameter of 0.1 μm to 10 μm are formed. In addition, a sheet having water impermeability and air permeability can also be produced by subjecting the surface of a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric such as cellulose to water repellent treatment. Further, a water resistant film and a breathable film may be laminated.
As a commercial product of a sheet having water repellency and air permeability, Unilux RS manufactured by Idemitsu Unitech Co., Ltd. in which three layers of polypropylene film and other polyolefin films are laminated.

In this way, the sheet material can form an interior container with one sheet, but two or more sheets may be laminated or simply multiple-packed so as not to impede its properties. It can be reinforced by multiple packaging.
For example, as a commercial product of a material obtained by laminating the above-mentioned Unilux RS film manufactured by Idemitsu Unitech Co., Ltd. on a woven fabric made of polypropylene spunbond, STRAMITY MF manufactured by Idemitsu Unitech Co., Ltd. (air permeability 11.0 ml / cm ² · second (KES Law)).

  The outer containers 5 and 6 used in the present invention may be provided without being in close contact with the above-described inner container and covered with an air layer, and the materials and shapes thereof are not particularly limited. It may be an air permeable exterior container using part or all of the material of the interior container described above.

  As the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent used in the present invention, one prepared in a granular form is used. In general, saturated hydrocarbons have a wide range of carbon numbers. In the present invention, saturated hydrocarbons having 19 or more carbon atoms are used. In particular, since the temperature of the hot pack is considered to be 40 to 43 ° C., a saturated hydrocarbon whose phase changes to 60 to 70 ° C. is used in consideration of heat conduction due to the configuration of the container material for packing the heat medium. The number of carbons corresponding to 60 to 70 ° C. is 28 to 32.

The use of a compound that changes phase in the heat medium not only stores heat by the specific heat of the substance, but also adds heat storage of latent heat that is consumed when the phase changes from solid to liquid, thereby storing several tens of times the amount of heat. It is possible to use the amount of heat stored when the liquid changes to a solid.
Although the heat pack requires a large amount of heat for a long time, the efficiency is low with the specific heat amount, and it becomes possible to secure the heat amount corresponding to the heat pack by adding the latent heat amount. Conventional heat-storing heat appliances are generally required to heat the skin surface at 40 to 45 ° C. for 15 to 30 minutes, but by using the amount of heat stored in the heat medium to which latent heat is added. It is possible to provide a heat storage device having an extremely compact capacity.

  Another characteristic of the paraffinic latent heat storage agent is that the predetermined temperature does not change while the phase change is in progress. This phenomenon is a characteristic of latent heat, and the correlation between the heat quantity of specific heat and temperature is different. For example, when changing from solid to liquid at 70 ° C., the temperature of 70 ° C. is maintained until all the heat storage agent becomes liquid by heating. Conversely, when the heat storage agent heated to 70 ° C. is changed from liquid to solid, 70 ° C. is maintained until all of the heat storage agent becomes solid. If a heat storage agent that changes phase at 70 ° C. is used, the temperature maintenance at 70 ° C. is maintained for a long time. In the present invention, it is preferable to use mainly saturated hydrocarbons that change phase at 60 to 70 ° C. to make a heat medium for a heat pack, but for example, taking into consideration that there are special cases where the heat medium is performed at a lower or higher temperature than usual Saturated hydrocarbons that change phase in the range of 30 to 80 ° C can also be used.

Such a paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is processed to be prepared in a powder form so as not to affect the state of the substance even if the phase changes. The following three patterns can be exemplified.
First, the process of the first example is a process in which the saturated hydrocarbon is included in a porous inorganic compound, and resin coating is performed to prevent leaching and powdering is performed.
The processing of the second example is a processing method in which a saturated hydrocarbon as a heat medium is used as a core, and the outer shell is beaded as cellulose.
The processing of the third example is processing in which a saturated hydrocarbon as a heat medium is microencapsulated with an acrylic resin to form a powder.

  By these processes, the resulting powder and beads are extremely less affected by the temperature of the built-in phase change saturated hydrocarbons, that is, the phase change, and each state is stably maintained regardless of the temperature change. be able to. These powders and beads can be used as a heating medium for the heat pack, and the powder particle size is preferably 30 to 70 μm, and the bead diameter is 2.5 to 4.0 mm. This is preferable from the viewpoint of appropriately achieving fluidity.

For example, as a form of the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent, a porous silicon oxide having a particle size of 50 to 100 μm (also referred to as porous silica) is impregnated and powdered, or beads having a particle size of about 5 μm or 1 to 50 μm microencapsulated one is used.
An important factor as a form in that case is the purity of the saturated hydrocarbon component, and a purity of 50% or more is appropriate for obtaining the required thermal efficiency. Preferably, if it is 70% or more, the thermal effect is stable and preferable. A 100% pure saturated hydrocarbon component is the best.

  Next, since the usage amount of the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent and the calorific value are proportional, the required amount is determined according to the size of the thermal appliance. For example, as an example of a predetermined size and capacity, if a thermal appliance having a vertical and horizontal height dimension of 37 cm × 29 cm × 3 cm and a volume of 3219 ml is filled with 1000 g of granular paraffinic latent heat storage agent, Is appropriate.

  After filling the heat storage material in this way, in order to control the heat transfer amount of the filled heat storage material, the bag-like container is wrapped in double or triple to create an air layer of appropriate thickness in each space, The body temperature is set to 40 to 45 ° C.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the thermal storage heater according to the first embodiment holds a plurality of first exterior containers 5 side by side in a cloth-made second exterior container 6 so that they can be folded side by side. It is preferable to use a thermal storage device. If comprised in this way, the calorie | heat amount to generate | occur | produce can be adjusted and it can utilize efficiently, Furthermore, the fit property to a human body can be improved to a thermal storage thermal appliance.

  Examples of the material for the first exterior container include those obtained by molding an elastomer such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and thermoplastic elastomer. Examples of the material for the second exterior container 6 include a tent place or a bag place. A container material sewn with a heat-resistant or high-strength fabric such as a thick fabric or an aramid fiber fabric is preferable. As the woven fabric, a fabric that has been water-repellent and water-repellent is preferable because it is a material that always keeps the inside of the container in a dry state.

The heat storage thermal appliance of the first embodiment configured as described above is a container made of a sheet material that forms the inner wall surface of the interior container 3 when the interior container 3 holds the granular paraffinic latent heat storage agent. The paraffinic latent heat storage agent isolated from the outside water is always kept dry, and its fluidity is not inhibited by moisture. Moreover, even if heating and heat dissipation are repeated, the air in the interior container 3 is communicated to the outside of the container, so that the pressure inside and outside the interior container 3 is maintained at an equal pressure, and the paraffin-based latent heat storage agent is caused by the pressure difference. It is not compacted and its fluidity is not always disturbed. Therefore, it becomes a heat storage type thermal appliance excellent in fitting property that can be deformed according to the shape of the affected part to increase the heat conduction area as much as possible.
Although there is no particular limitation to use such an embodiment, it is appropriate to dry and heat by conducting heat through an atmosphere. For example, a hot air heating type heater using electric heat is usually used. About 4 hours, use only the necessary amount of heat. The heating temperature should just be the temperature more than melting | fusing point of a paraffin type latent heat storage agent, and is set to about 30-90 degreeC as needed.

  Incidentally, in the thermotherapy, the temperature of the heat medium and the amount of the heat medium are the decisive factors, and the temperature and amount are determined by the container material. That is, the temperature of the heat medium differs between a molded product such as rubber and a thick fabric, and is determined by comparing the heat conduction of the material. Depending on the air content in the container, the fabric pack tends to lower the temperature of the heat medium relatively well. The outer container must have physical properties that can withstand repeated use using a robust material. Performance that fits the human body is required. For the fit, the shape of the outer container and flexible elasticity are required along with the properties of the material.

Next, in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, instead of the interior container 3 of the first embodiment, a material obtained by laminating a Unilux RS film 7a made by Idemitsu Unitech Co., Ltd. on a woven cloth 7b made of polypropylene spunbond. An internal container 7 made of Idemitsu Unitech's stramity MF (air permeability 11.0 ml / cm ² · second (KES method)), which is a commercial product, is used.

In the second embodiment, since the above-described interior container 7 is reinforced and has a high rigidity, the configuration of the exterior is simplified and a plurality of interior containers 7 are directly stored in the cloth exterior container 8. It is a thermal storage device.
In this way, it is possible to manufacture a product having a simple configuration and the same performance as that of the first embodiment.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the outer containers 6 and 8 are of a cloth-type holder that can hold the four to eight outer containers 5 or the inner containers 7, but as shown in FIG. The outer containers 9, 10, and 11 are preferably formed in a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the neck, shoulder, and knee, respectively.
In addition, when it is necessary to give appropriate elasticity not only to the form of the outer container but also to the whole, the amount of air present in the outer container may be adjusted. An appropriate amount of air can be obtained by forming several small holes in the outer container. It should be noted that the material selection for the container is important because the fit to the shoulder, waist, knees, neck and arms of the human body conflicts with the robustness.
