Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed apparatus for drying, cooling and heating inside a bed (a sleeping space formed between a hanging bedding and a bedding side) and bedding.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional bed apparatus of this type includes a blower 1, a heating / cooling apparatus 2, and a humidity control apparatus 3, and an air flow of a predetermined temperature and humidity is provided near the body of a sleeping person 4. , A measuring device 6 for measuring the temperature and humidity of the air flow, and a control device 7 for controlling the operation of the air conditioner, wherein the control device 7 controls the temperature of the air flow. A target value is set in advance so that the air flow and the humidity change in accordance with a predetermined pattern, and the target value is compared with an output signal of the measuring device 6 so that the air conditioner has a predetermined temperature and humidity in the air flow. 5 was controlled. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-97416) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the temperature and humidity in the bed are controlled to predetermined values, but the air conditioning of the entire bedroom is not considered at all. In particular, when sleeping in a winter or summer, a heat shock due to a temperature difference is given to a sleeping person, and sleeping is hindered. Further, when the cooling device 2 and the humidity control device 3 are operated, exhaust heat is generated. (For example, heat radiation of the condenser in the refrigeration cycle) For this reason, the room temperature rises in summer and gives an uncomfortable feeling when getting up. Furthermore, when the cooling device 2 and the humidity control device 3 are operated, dehumidified dew water is generated, and this process must be frequently performed, which is inconvenient. Further, if the heating and cooling of the entire bedroom is to be performed separately, there are many problems such as the need to operate a separate cooling and heating machine each time.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem. (1) An object of the present invention is to provide a sleeping device in which the operation of cooling, heating and drying in a bedroom and a bed is easy.

(2) An object of the present invention is to provide a bedding that performs bedding drying without causing an increase in indoor humidity and temperature, suppresses heat shock at the time of entering the floor during cooling and heating, and facilitates falling asleep.

(3) The purpose is to provide cooling in the bed which rises quickly when cooling, and to provide economical heating when heating.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the first bed apparatus of the present invention, a blower unit having a heater and a blower, a bag-shaped container connected to the blower unit and installed on the upper mattress, An air conditioner for cooling and dehumidifying the entire bedroom is provided, and a control unit is provided for controlling the blower unit and the air conditioner in conjunction with each other.

The second sleeping apparatus includes a switching unit for cooling, heating, and drying in the configuration control unit, a cooling interlocking unit that performs a cooling operation of the air conditioner at the time of cooling and a blowing unit at the same time as the air conditioner, and an air conditioner at the time of heating. The air conditioner is provided with a heating interlocking unit that performs the heating operation and at the same time the air blowing unit operates with the hot air, and a drying interlocking unit that performs the dehumidifying operation of the air conditioner and the air blowing unit with the hot air operation at the time of drying.

The third sleeping apparatus is provided with a temperature correction section for setting the temperature of the air conditioner lower than a preset temperature of the air conditioner by a predetermined value at the time of cooling and heating in the control means having the above configuration.

Operation According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, (1) when bedding drying is performed, warm air is sent from the blowing unit to the bag-shaped container. When heating the bedding, the inside of the bed is warmed by the warm air of the blower unit as in the case of drying. When performing cooling in the bed, air is blown while the heater of the air blowing unit is turned off. During these operations, the air conditioner is operated at the same time to control the temperature and humidity in the bedroom at the same time.

(2) At the time of cooling, the air conditioner is operated for cooling, and at the same time, the air blowing unit is operated for air blowing, so that the indoor cool air is sent to the bed, so that more effective cooling in the bed can be achieved.
At the time of heating, the air conditioner is operated to perform heating operation, and at the same time, the blowing unit is operated to perform warm air operation, thereby suppressing an extreme temperature difference between the room and the bed. At the time of drying, the air conditioner is operated to dehumidify and, at the same time, the blower unit is operated to perform warm air, and the bedding is dried while removing moisture and hot air coming out of the bedding.

(3) By correcting the room temperature at the time of cooling to be low, the intake air temperature to the blower unit is reduced, and the rise of the cooling in the bed is accelerated. Even when the indoor temperature is set low during heating, warm air is generated from the blower unit, so that the effect of heating in the bed is not reduced and economic operation is performed.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
