Description

The present invention relates to a heating element that combines a heating element and a heat storage element, and a heating mechanism of a human body using the heating element.

Conventionally, various human body heating means have been used, but as shown in the present invention, there is no one that enables heat generation and heat storage as a single body.

Human body heating means have been used for a long time, and irori, stoves, kotatsu, etc. are popular.
In addition, although heat insulators using a heat storage agent are often used, the current situation is that there is no integrated heat storage and heat storage.
In view of the above, the present invention provides a novel and useful means capable of heating the human body without requiring constant energization by generating heat when energized and storing the amount of heat with a heat storage agent. It was invented for the purpose of providing.

The present invention has the following configuration as a means for solving the problem. That is, one of the present inventions is a heat-generating heat insulating body characterized in that a sheet-shaped heater capable of generating heat by energization and having flexibility is provided, and a heat storage body is fixed to both sides or one side of the heater.
The second aspect of the present invention is a human body heating mechanism using a heat-generating heat insulating body provided with a cylindrical main body and having the heat-generating heat insulating material shown in claim 1 inserted and held on the inner surface of the main body.
A third aspect of the present invention is the human body heating mechanism using the heat-generating heat-retaining body according to claim 2, wherein a life-sized humanoid doll is used instead of the cylindrical main body shown in claim 2.

The present invention has the following effects.
1. 1. Since the heating element and the heat storage body are integrated, the amount of heat generated can be completely stored and used.
2. Since a flexible heat insulating body is used, it can be effectively used by fitting it not only on a flat surface but also on a curved surface.
3. 3. Since the shape and size of the heat-generating heat insulating body can be freely set, it can be used for a small area or a large area.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 shows the first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a flexible sheet type heater, 2 is an energizing lead wire, and the heater generates heat by supplying electric power from the outside.
Reference numeral 3 denotes a bag body, and in this figure, the rectangular bag body is folded in half to sandwich the heater.
A known heat storage agent 4 is sealed in the bag. The above is the heat storage body 5.
Reference numerals 6 and 7 are adhesive layers, in which the heater and the heat storage body are integrated to form the heat generating heat insulating body 8. The shape of this figure is an example, and it can be used in any size, such as a size extending in the left-right direction or from the front side to the back side of the paper so as to be suitable for use.

The heater generates heat when energized, and this amount of heat is stored in the heat storage agent. Therefore, when the temperature reaches an appropriate level, the heat storage body dissipates heat even if the energization of the heater is stopped, and the human body can be heated. By using the thermostat and the control circuit together, it is possible to always maintain a desired optimum temperature.
FIG. 3 shows an example in which the heat storage body is used separately above and below the heater (second embodiment), FIG. 4 shows an example in which the heat storage body is used only on one surface of the heater (third embodiment), and FIG. 5 shows the heat storage body itself. This is an example in which a heater is built in (fourth embodiment), and the basic functions are the same as in the first example.

The present invention is intended for heating the human body, and a specific mechanism thereof will be illustrated below.
6 to 9 are examples in which the human body is heated by holding it in a hand and bringing it into contact with each part of the human body. (First heating mechanism)
In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a main body, which is a cylinder made of synthetic resin, one end of which is open, and the other end of which is hemispherical. The heat-generating heat insulating body 8 shown in the first embodiment is inserted and held on the inner surface of the main body along the inner peripheral surface. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cap that fits into the open end of the main body.
Reference numeral 12 denotes a holding plate, which is horizontally fixed to the inner surface near the main end. Reference numeral 13 denotes a battery case fixed to the upper surface of the holding plate, and reference numeral 14 denotes a lithium ion type battery. Reference numeral 15 is a commercially available thermostat, 16 is a power switch, and 17 is an energization indicator. The above parts are connected by wiring as shown in FIG. 8, and the electric system part 20 is formed by the above.

Next, the use of this product will be described.
When the power switch is turned on, the energization indicator lights up, the power from the battery flows to the heater via the thermostat, the heater starts to generate heat, and this amount of heat is transmitted to the heat storage body and stored.
The temperature of the main body due to heat generation is transmitted to the thermostat, and when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat works to cut off the energization of the heater, and the energization indicator light is turned off.
After that, energization and de-energization are repeated to keep the main body temperature constant. By holding this heat-retaining subject in hand and applying it to each part of the human body to be warmed, it is possible to heat a desired part of the human body.
Especially chilly fingers can be easily warmed by grasping this subject.

10 to 12 are the second heating mechanism of the present invention.
In the figure, 30 is a main body made of synthetic resin, 31 is a heat insulating body similar to the previous example, 32 is a cushion body made of silicon resin, 33 is a perforated cap provided at one end of the main body, and 34 is an electric system similar to the previous example. It is composed of a holding plate, a battery, a thermostat, a power switch, an energizing indicator, a battery case, etc., and energizes the heater.
Unlike the previous example, it is a method of warming by inserting the fingers and toes in the right place of the human body, for example, in the main body, and in order to improve the efficiency of heat transfer, a silicon resin cushion body is placed along the inner circumference of the heat insulating body. It is provided. When the fingers or the like are inserted into the main body during use, the silicone resin can be softly adhered to the fingers to heat them. The main size is appropriately designed depending on the application.

13 to 19 are the third heating mechanism of the present invention. These are life-sized dolls that imitate the human body and are provided with a plurality of heat-generating and heat-retaining mechanisms. FIG. 17 is a side-view humanoid doll, and the portion shown by the dotted line in the figure is the position of the heat insulating body. The installation of this heat insulating body is shown below.
FIG. 15 shows a case where the doll is made of soft vinyl. In the figure, 40 is a soft vinyl forming a doll, 41 is a heat insulating body according to the present invention, and 42 is urethane foam as a filler. Since soft vinyl is soft, it is difficult to maintain the shape of the human body by itself, so a filler is used. The heat-generating heat insulating body is fixed in contact with the soft vinyl, and is provided all around along the inner peripheral surface of the fixed position. Therefore, the amount of heat is immediately transferred to the soft vinyl via the heat storage body and can be led to a predetermined temperature. An energizing lead wire 43 from the power source is attached.

As a variation example of this example, a laminated metal foil 44 using an aluminum foil or the like coated with a flexible thin synthetic resin sheet is provided between the heat generating heat insulating body and the soft vinyl, and the metal foil is lengthened. By extending the heat transfer area, the heat transfer area can be further expanded and the heat can be directly transferred to the vicinity of the end of the doll. Since this example is larger in size than the first and second heating mechanisms, it is necessary to provide heat-generating heat insulators in several places. A method of energizing via a controller is preferable.

FIG. 13 is an example diagram of this controller. In the figure, 50 is a case, 51 is a power switch, 52 is an energization indicator, and 53 is a heat retention indicator. Reference numeral 54 denotes a liquid crystal set temperature display window, and 55 is a temperature setting switch.
Energization is started when the power switch is turned on, and the energization indicator lights up. When the set temperature is reached, the built-in control circuit stops energization and the heat retention indicator lights up.
In the example of FIG. 17, heat insulating bodies are provided on the head, chest, arms, hips, and legs, and are individually connected to the controller, so that the temperature can be set individually for each part. That is, when the temperature setting switch of the head is pressed, the characters "head" and the current temperature are displayed in the display window. Therefore, press the setting direction selection switch 56 to select temperature rise or temperature fall, and press this temperature setting switch. The temperature can be set by pressing repeatedly, and the temperature of each part can be set in the same manner below.

As a power source, 100 volt AC supplied to each household is led from an outlet and connected to a controller, and the controller supplies power to each heat insulating body.
Since it is inconvenient to always connect to the doll, for example, it is preferable to provide an outlet on the back of the doll or the back of the waist, open the cover to energize, and when each part reaches the set temperature, remove the plug from the doll to cover it. ..

FIG. 16 shows an example in which the doll is made of silicon. Silicone gives a tactile sensation similar to that of human skin, so it is easy to get a real feeling, but its structure is more complicated than in the previous example.
In the figure, 60 is FRP, 61 is silicon, 62 is an annular aggregate made of an aluminum rod, and 63 is a linear aggregate made of the same material. The figure shows, for example, the part from the thick side to the thin side of the leg. The annular aggregate is in contact with the FRP, and the aggregate is located inside the annular aggregate by welding or fixing each annular aggregate. You are connected. The heat-generating heat insulator is located between the annular aggregate and the aggregate and between the FRP, and is located in an annular shape on the inner surface of the FRP and is in contact with the heat insulating body. Therefore, it has the same effect as the previous example. In this example as well, 100 volt AC is used via the controller as in the previous example.

Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention has a feature in that a heating element and a heat storage body are integrated, and can be used for various purposes. In the case of use for humanoid dolls, if the limbs of the doll can be moved freely, it can be used as various human body shapes, and the warmth can be felt by placing it near and touching it. It should be noted that the uniform heating method may be used for the humanoid doll without using the controller as described above. Further, a single sheet type heat storage body may be used instead of the enclosed type as described above.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned example is an example of implementation, and other approximate configurations can be used.
As described above, the present invention can provide a convenient means for heating the human body.
