[Prior Art] Floor heating has recently attracted attention as a heating means in winter, but electric carpets are the most widely used at present. In a conventional electric carpet, a control is performed by using a surface temperature sensor or a room temperature sensor so as to keep the surface temperature of the carpet as constant as possible, so that an error with respect to a target temperature is reduced.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] FIG. 3 shows the change over time of the surface temperature of the conventional electric carpet, where the broken line indicates a case where the output of the electric carpet is set to be strong, and the solid line indicates a case where the output is set to be weak. It is. As is clear from this figure, in the conventional electric carpet,
Since the surface temperature is controlled so as to be kept constant, there is a drawback that, when used for a long time, heat is trapped in the contact portion between the user and the carpet.

The dashed line in FIG. 4 indicates the time change of the skin temperature when the setting is relatively strong, the solid line indicates the time change of the skin temperature when the setting is weak, and the broken line indicates the time change of the subjective evaluation of the warmth when the setting is relatively strong. Is the time change of the subjective evaluation of warmth when set weakly. Here, the subjective ratings are "hot", "pretty warm", "somewhat warm", "insensitive",
The display is divided into five stages of “cool”. If the user sets it higher to sit and feel the warmth immediately,
Over time, as indicated by the dashed line, it gradually feels hotter. On the other hand, if the setting is weak, there is a drawback that the warmth is insufficient for several tens of minutes after sitting, as shown by the solid line.

In the electric carpet in the work for the present invention, since the high duty ratio period T H relatively fast temperature rises, the user can feel securely warmth. In addition, since the high duty ratio period T H temperature also been switched to low power rate period T L from is gradually lowered, warm feeling of the user is not be immediately eliminated. Since reliably warm feeling in a high duty factor period T H occurs, the surface temperature in the low duty ratio period T L may be set lower than conventional electric carpet, therefore, without the temperature continues to rise It doesn't get hot even after long use. Also, the amount of power per hour is almost the same as or less than that of the conventional one.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. Waveform B of Figure 1 shows the duty factor, high duty ratio period T H is about 1 minute, the low duty ratio period T L is varied by 1 / f fluctuation between about 1 to 5 minutes. As a result, the surface temperature of the electric carpet changes as shown by a curve A in FIG. By providing a high duty factor-life T H intermittently, so that the surface temperature is higher than the occasional base temperature t 0. At this time, the skin temperature of the user changes as shown by a curve C in FIG.
Accordingly, the subjective evaluation of warmth changes as shown by a curve D in FIG. That is, since synchronism with a high duty factor-life T H results in a feeling of warmth, it is possible to feel the warmth from the use start early. In addition, since the surface temperature gradually decreases, the feeling of warmth does not disappear immediately, and the user does not feel cool even in the low duty ratio period TL . Then, the time interval of occurrence of high duty factor-life T H changes according to the duration of the low duty ratio period T L, is the duration
Since the fluctuation is 1 / f, the user does not feel monotonous or accustomed. Furthermore, since the positively warm feeling in a high duty factor period T H occurs, the surface temperature in the low duty ratio period T L is
Since it may be set lower than the conventional electric carpet, it does not feel hot even when used for a long time, and the electric power used is less than or equal to that of the conventional electric carpet.

I do. Depending on the electric heating characteristics of the carpet and the cover, the temperature drops slowly even at a duty ratio of 0%, so that a predetermined effect can be obtained.

[Effects of the Invention] In the electric carpet of the present invention, as described above, the high duty cycle and the low duty cycle are alternately performed, and the duration of the low duty cycle is controlled to change with 1 / f fluctuation. Therefore, the user feels warmth in synchronization with the high duty cycle, and does not feel cool even in the low duty cycle. The time interval in which the high duty cycle occurs is the duration of the low duty cycle, that is, 1 / f fluctuation, so that the user does not feel monotonous or familiar. In addition, since a warm feeling is definitely generated during the high duty cycle, the surface temperature during the low duty cycle may be set lower than that of the conventional electric carpet. There is an effect that the electric power can be less than or equal to that of the conventional electric carpet. Further, in the present invention, since the duration of the low duty cycle period of the electric carpet is changed by 1 / f fluctuation, for example, the detection value of the heat generation power of the electric carpet and the surface temperature of the electric carpet is measured using an amplifier. There is an advantage that the configuration of the control device is simplified as compared with a method of performing continuous control so as to have 1 / f fluctuation.
