BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fumarized air mat which can be used by a long-term care patient without rubbing the floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a bed used by a long-term care patient or the like, the patient tends to be moist with water vapor evaporated from the patient's body surface. Therefore, in order to maintain a comfortable and dry state in the bed, attempts have been made to adopt, for example, a method of air-conditioning the bedroom or a method of providing a fumarolic air mat to the bed.
A so-called air conditioner is used in the former method. On the other hand, the latter method employs a configuration in which an air mat body having a blowing hole for blowing out air is provided on a bed, and heated air is supplied to the air mat body to blow out from the blowing hole (actually disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application). 62-33828).

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of the former method, installation becomes large-scale, cost is high, and individual differences may occur when other patients with different levels of sweating are present in the same room. Could not cover. Also, the latter method can maintain a much dry state compared to the case where it is not used.However, it is easily affected by sultry seasonal conditions such as the rainy season and the summer season. It was difficult to maintain the condition.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fumarized air mat which can always keep a bed in a dry state.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A spray type air mat according to the present invention is provided as a bed, and has an air mat body having a blowing hole for ejecting air into the bed, and external air at a position away from the air mat body. It is characterized by comprising a dehumidifying heating unit for heating after dehumidifying, and air supply means for supplying the air treated by the dehumidifying heating unit to the air mat body.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the external air is dehumidified by the dehumidifying and heating unit, the air is heated, supplied to the air mat body, and blows out from the fumarole into the bed, so that the inside of the bed becomes wet. Is also dried by the blown air. In addition, since the dehumidifying and heating unit performs dehumidification and heating of the external air at a position away from the air mat body serving as a bed, the safety for the human body is high, and the dehumidifying and heating unit can be easily repaired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a configuration diagram schematically illustrating an embodiment of a fumarolic air mat according to the present invention. The fumarized air mat includes an air mat body 2 provided on a bed and an air supply device 1 for supplying air to the air mat body 2.
And a connection hose 7 between the air supply device 1 and the air mat main body 2. The air supply device 1 includes a dehumidifying and heating device 3,
An air compression pump 4 and a deodorizing device 6 are provided.

FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view showing the dehumidifying and heating device 3, FIG. 2 is a plan sectional view of FIG. 1B, and FIG.
It is a side sectional view of (b). The dehumidifying heating device 3 is shown in FIG.
The suction force of the air compression pump 4 acts on a pipe 15c provided on the lower right side of (b), and external (room) air is sucked from the pipe 15a by the suction force.
The suction air is sent to a cooling chamber 12a provided in a known electronic cooling device 12 for cooling and dehumidification, and then supplied to a heating chamber 16 through a pipe 15b to be heated and discharged from the pipe 15c.

The electronic cooling device 12 comprises a cooling plate 11 provided in a cooling chamber 12a, a heat radiating plate 17 above the cooling plate 11, and a Peltier element 10 provided therebetween. The Peltier element 1 is separated by a heat insulating material 21 and is inserted into a through hole 21 a formed in the heat insulating material 21.
0 is inserted. The air sent into the cooling chamber 12a is cooled here and dehumidified by this cooling effect. The degree of cooling is made variable by operating a control panel 22 that adjusts the magnitude of the current to the Peltier element 10 and the like.

The water generated by dehumidification due to the cooling effect described above is discharged to a discharge valve 13a provided at a lower portion of the cooling chamber 12a.
It is stored in the receiving tank 14 via 13b. And
The dehumidified air is sent to the heating chamber 16 via a pipe 15b, heated by a heater 16a provided in the heating chamber 16, and then discharged from the pipe 15c. On the other hand, warm air around the heat radiating plate 17 constituting the electronic cooling device 12 was provided near the heat radiating plate 17 by external air sucked from outside by a heat radiating fan 18 provided on the side of the heat radiating plate 17. It is pushed to the deodorizing room (or fragrance room) 23 side and moves. The deodorizing chamber (or fragrance chamber) 23 includes filters 19, 19 provided on both sides in the air flow direction, a case 9 forming an outer frame of the dehumidifying and heating device 3, and a space surrounded by the heat insulating material 21. , A deodorant (or fragrance) 2 inside the space
0 is provided, and air can pass through the filters 19 and 19. Filter 19,
The air passing through 19 is a mixture of the above-mentioned warm air and external air, evaporates the deodorant (or fragrance) 20, becomes deodorized (or has fragrance), and becomes the outside (or fragrance). (Room).

The air discharged from the pipe 15c is:
As shown in FIG. 1A, the overall flow rate is adjusted by the control valve 5, and the flow rate distribution to the deodorizing device 6 is adjusted. Specifically, the control valve 5
After the entire flow rate is adjusted, the whole amount is sent to the connection hose 7 as it is, or the entire amount is sent to the connection hose 7 via the deodorizing device 6, and a part of the connection hose 7 is directly
And the rest is sent to the connection hose 7 via the deodorizing device 6.

The deodorizing device 6 is provided with a deodorant (or fragrance) (not shown). When air is supplied to the deodorizing device 6, the air is deodorized (or has a fragrance). And is sent to the connection hose 7. The air sent to the connection hose 7 is supplied to the air mat main body 2 and is blown out to the outside from a blowing hole 8 provided in the air mat main body 2.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the air dehumidified and heated by the dehumidifying and heating device 3 is supplied to the air mat body 2 and is blown out from the blowing holes 8 provided in the air mat body 2 so that the bed can be cleaned. It can be always dry. Further, by controlling the opening degree of the control valve 5, the air that has been dried and deodorized (or has fragrance) can be sent to the bed.

In the above embodiment, the air compression pump 4 is arranged downstream of the dehumidifying and heating device 3 in the air flow direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 3. An air compression pump 4
May be arranged.

As described above in detail, in the case of the present invention, dehumidified and dried air is blown out from the air mat body to the bed, so that even if the inside of the bed is wet, the bed is dried by the air, so that it can be dried in the rainy season or in the summer. The bed is hardly affected by the sultry seasonal condition and the like, and the inside of the bed can always be kept in a dry state, and it can contribute to the prevention of the propagation of various germs that easily occur when the bed has moisture. In addition, since the dehumidification and heating of the external air are performed at a position away from the air mat body serving as a bed, it is highly safe for the human body and has an excellent effect that it is easy to repair the dehumidifying and heating parts. Play.
