In addition, a mat having an arbitrary width can be obtained by joining these together with the joint, and the degree of freedom in size and application is increased.

  By providing a heating shell in the form of a bed, a more complete thermal effect can be obtained, and the degree of freedom of use and installation environment is also high.

Hereinafter, the illustrated embodiment will be described.
FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of a thermal apparatus to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the thermal apparatus to which the present invention is applied. The heating device includes a bed 1, a sheet-like or plate-like heater such as a planar heating element 2, a mat 3, a sheet 4, and a heating shell 6.

  A mat 3 is laid on the bed 1, and a planar heating element 2 is inserted between the bed 1 and the mat 3. The bed 1, the sheet heating element 2, and the mat 3 are substantially rectangular in plan view, and the length in the front-rear direction is longer in the bed 1 and the mat 3 than in the sheet heating element 2. The bed 1 is longer than the sheet heating element 2 and the mat 3. A heat insulating material (not shown) such as a urethane sheet is provided on the lower surface side of the planar heating element 2 so that heat is not easily transmitted to the bed 1.

  On the other hand, the mat 3 positioned on the upper surface side of the planar heating element 2 is heated by the planar heating element 2. The heated mat 3 acts in the same manner as a conventional rock bath with functions such as far-infrared radiation, generation of negative ions, or radiation of trace amounts of radiation by ceramics or other mineral materials filled inside. To do. In addition, the sheet heating element 2 has a front end of the sheet heating element 2 that is more than the front end of the mat 3 so that the sheet heating element 2 does not heat the front end side of the mat 3 where the head of the user 7 is located. It is shifted rearward.

  A sheet 4 such as a bamboo cloth sheet is laid on the upper surface of the mat 3, and a user 7 of the heating apparatus lies on the sheet 4. A heating shell 6 is installed so as to cover the upper side of the lying user 7. The heating shell 6 is formed in a dome shape so as to cover the body below the neck in a substantially sealed state, leaving only the head of the user 7 lying on the bed 1 with the pillow 8, The lower ends of the dome-shaped side walls are placed or attached and fixed along both side ends of the bed 1. A far-infrared heater (not shown) is disposed on the inner surface of the dome-shaped heating shell 6 so as to heat a warm space formed therein.

  According to the heating device having the above configuration, the body of the user 7 sleeping in the heating shell 6 is heated from the core by the planar heating element 2 from the lower side and the far-infrared heater on the dome side from the upper side. On the other hand, by heating the mat 3 with the planar heating element 2 disposed below, the mat 7 acts in the same manner as a rock bath, and the user 7 can be expected to have a relaxation effect, a thermal treatment effect, and the like.

  Next, the mat 3 will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mat 3, and FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the unit container 9 that forms the mat 3. The mat 3 is formed by a plurality of unit-shaped containers 9, and the unit-shaped containers 3 are formed by tubes 11.

  The tube 11 is formed in a flexible bag shape, and is filled with a cushion material 12 and a mineral 13 and sealed, and has elasticity. The unit-shaped container 9 is composed of three tubes 11, and the three tubes 11 are arranged in parallel and connected by a connecting portion 14.

  The mat 3 forms the mat 3 by arranging a plurality of unit-like containers 9 in parallel with the tube 11 direction, joining them together by the joint 16 and connecting them. The mat 3 has five unit-shaped containers 9 connected to each other. Incidentally, the mat 3 can be formed even with one container 9. The three tubes 11 constituting the unit container 9, the two connecting portions 14, and the two joint portions 16 are integrally formed.

  The mat 9 may be formed by arranging the containers 9 in the front-rear direction so that the tubes 11 are parallel to each other without providing the joints 16 in the unit-shaped containers 9. In this case, the containers 9 are merely brought into contact with each other or close to each other and are not joined. However, since the container 9 itself has a certain weight, the mat 3 can be removed even if the user 7 lies on the mat 3. The container 9 to be formed is hardly displaced.

  As the mineral in the tube 11, three types of minerals are used: a mineral 13 that emits a minute amount of radiation, a mineral 13 that emits far infrared rays, and a mineral 13 that emits negative ions. A trace amount of radiation can produce electrons and ions in the body, activate cells, promote natural healing power, improve metabolism, far infrared rays can warm the body from the core, negative ions can have a relaxation effect, etc. .

  As the mineral 13 that emits a very small amount of radiation, radium ore or radon ore is used, and the amount of radiation emitted is sufficient even if the device is used for 24 hours 365 days with sufficient radiation effect. Set so that it does not exceed the annual allowable limit of specified radiation.

  As the mineral 13 that emits far-infrared rays, a mineral having as high a far-infrared emissivity as possible is selected. The same applies to the mineral 13 that releases negative ions, and a mineral that generates as many negative ions as possible is selected. The amount of negative ions to be released is desirably about 1000 to 1500 per 1 cc volume so that the effect of negative ions can be obtained. The mineral 13 may be a natural stone or a ceramic having the above function.

  Various minerals are pulverized into granular or powder form, but it is difficult to technically pulverize them to a size of 40 μm or less, and if they are 5 mm or more, the flexibility of the thermal mat is impaired. Grind to a certain size.

  Various minerals are mixed with a gel-like (jelly-like) cushioning material 12 and enclosed in each tube 11. One of the three tubes 11 constituting the unit-shaped container 9 is filled with a gel-like cushioning material 12 mixed with a mineral 13 that emits a trace amount of radiation, and the other emits far infrared rays. Gel-shaped cushioning material 12 mixed with mineral 13 is enclosed, and the last one is filled with gel-like cushioning material 12 mixed with mineral 13 that emits negative ions. Note that all the three types of minerals 13 may be enclosed in each tube 11 of the unit-shaped container 9.

It is a sectional side view of a thermal apparatus. It is a perspective view of a thermal apparatus. It is a perspective view of a mat for heating. It is a sectional side view of the unit-shaped container which forms the mat for warmth.
