Description

  The present invention relates to a sweating promotion device that promotes the health of a user by whole-body irradiation with far infrared rays, and relates to a sweating promotion device that comfortably warms the user and also functions as a domestic sauna or heating appliance that generates negative ions.

  In recent years, health management has been emphasized in order to lead a comfortable life, and many home saunas and sauna-like heating appliances have been proposed. In general, there are many room-type and bed-type saunas as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-194923, and the equipment is large, the installation space is large, the cost is very high, and it can be easily purchased at home. Can not be installed.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2001-276168 and 2003-245326 simply install a semi-cylindrical bag body on a mat, so that the installation place is relatively small and inexpensive. Regarding JP-A-2001-276168, steam and mist are always fed into the inside of the bag, so if it is set at a relatively high temperature, a large amount of steam is fed, and the steam leaks out of the bag and moistens the room. is there. In JP-A-2003-245326, since an electric heating device is incorporated in a mat, the user's back is close to the heat generating layer and only the back is easily heated, and it is insufficient in that the whole body is heated uniformly. .

  On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-140135 is a far-infrared health device having two semi-cylinders that are nested, and a planar heating element containing carbon black is attached to the inner peripheral surfaces of both semi-cylinders. Yes. In this health device, since the user enters the inside of a hard semi-cylindrical body, the user's body has a predetermined distance with respect to the heat generation layer, and the whole body can be heated almost equally and well. Is possible. On the other hand, since the entire inner peripheral surface of the semi-cylindrical body is an energized planar heating layer containing carbon black, it is easy to cause a leakage accident when the heating layer is damaged, and the entire inner peripheral surface is a planar heating layer. If it is, it will be expensive. In addition, although the planar heat generating layer containing carbon black generates far infrared rays, the generation of far infrared rays may be insufficient in order to activate the skin function and activate metabolism. .

  The present invention has been proposed to improve the above-mentioned problems associated with conventional home saunas and far-infrared health appliances, and can sufficiently radiate far-infrared rays and damage the heating layer during use. An object of the present invention is to provide a device for promoting perspiration. Another object of the present invention is to provide a perspiration promoting device using a semi-cylindrical body that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and excellent in strength. Another object of the present invention is to provide a perspiration promoting device that comfortably warms the user and also generates negative ions.

  The perspiration promoting apparatus according to the present invention uses one or two or more half-cylinders arranged in a nested manner, and radiates far-infrared rays from the inner peripheral surface of the half-cylinder containing a user inside. Promotes sweating. In this perspiration promoting device, the semi-cylindrical body is made of a relatively thick heat insulating layer arranged on the outer peripheral side, a heat generating layer composed of strip-shaped heaters arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, and a metal made on the inner peripheral side. The soaking protection layer is laminated and integrated into a semi-cylindrical shape, and the heat generation temperature of the semi-cylindrical body is adjusted via a controller to achieve internal heat insulation and safety.

  In the perspiration promoting device of the present invention, it is preferable that a far-infrared ray generating layer is formed by attaching a black Bincho charcoal-containing sheet to the entire back surface of the soaking protective layer. Further, it is preferable to form a plastic, metal or wooden outer surface layer on the entire surface of the heat insulating layer.

  Preferably, the perspiration promoting device of the present invention reinforces the front and rear semicircular end faces and the left and right straight side edges of the semicylindrical body with a frame material having a rectangular cross section. The floor sheet material laid under the user inside the semi-cylindrical body is made of a flexible urethane sheet, and a resin layer that generates far-infrared rays and / or negative ions is printed on the surface of the sheet material. To do.

  The sweating promotion device according to the present invention uses two half-cylinders in a nested manner, and promotes sweating by radiating far-infrared rays from the inner peripheral surface of the half-cylinder containing a user inside. It is particularly desirable. This semi-cylindrical body has an outermost plastic outer surface layer, a relatively thick heat insulating layer disposed below the outer surface layer, a heat generating layer composed of strip-shaped heaters arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals, and an inner peripheral surface. An aluminum soaking protection layer disposed on the side and a black Bincho charcoal-containing far-infrared ray generation layer provided on the entire back surface of the soaking protection layer are laminated and integrated into a semicylindrical shape.

  The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a perspiration promoting device 1 according to the present invention, and the device is composed of one or two or more semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3. If there are two or more semi-cylindrical bodies, they are placed in a nested manner, and if there is only one semi-cylindrical body, the storage space becomes large, but if there is room in the laying place, only one piece with a length of around 1800 mm is used. May be. Even if the radii are different from each other, the two or more semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 have substantially the same multilayer structure. If it is three or more semi-cylindrical bodies, it is preferable that each semi-cylindrical body is configured to be locked with a stopper in a fully stretched state.

  The semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 are actually curved shapes whose height is somewhat larger than the width of the semi-circular shape than the complete semi-cylindrical shape. The semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 have a multilayer structure as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 and have at least a three-layer structure. This three-layer structure has a relatively thick heat insulating layer 5 disposed on the outer peripheral side, a heat generating layer 6 such as a strip-shaped film heater 8 (FIG. 6) arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, and an inner peripheral side. The outer layer 16 on the upper side of the heat insulating layer 5 and the far-infrared ray generating layer 18 as the innermost layer are laminated.

  The heat insulating layer 5 is thicker than the other layers, and examples thereof include closed cell plastic foam, rock wool plate, carbonized cork plate, cork plate, fiber felt material, glass fiber plate, and glass wool plate. The plastic foam is preferable because it is relatively light and has a high heat insulating effect, and hard polyurethane, polystyrene, polypropylene, phenol resin, cellulose acetate plastic, hard vinyl chloride resin, and the like can be used.

  The intermediate heat generating layer 6 may be composed of strip-shaped heaters arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval. The heat generating layer 6 may be a belt-like film heater 8 (FIG. 6) arranged in parallel and arranged in parallel, or a flat heat generating cord (not shown) arranged in a meandering manner. The film heater 8 generally contains carbon black and has, for example, a three-layer structure in which fine carbon black powder is sandwiched between two heat-resistant plastic films. When the belt-like film heaters 8 are arranged, the lateral width of the heaters and the gaps between the heaters may be set to approximately the same distance. The film heater 8 contains fine powder of carbon black, generates heat by resistance heating when energized, and emits a large amount of far infrared rays.

  On the other hand, as the heat generating layer 6, flat and thin heat generating codes capable of temperature control can be arranged in a meandering manner. The heat generating cords may be arranged in any meandering shape as long as the heat generating cords can be extended on the entire surface of the heat insulating layer 5, and the heat generating cords may be bonded or sewn to the heat insulating layer 5. When local temperature control is important for this heat generation cord, meander closely so that the vicinity of the user's legs is relatively hot and meander roughly so that the vicinity of the chest is relatively cold. You can do it. The heat generation cord may be a simple wire configuration in which a heat generation wire which is a thin metal wire is covered with a resin sheath, and another linear sensor can be used for temperature management.

  In addition, as the heat generation cord, a synthetic or natural fiber core thread may be spirally wound with a plurality of heat generation lines such as a copper nickel alloy wire having a diameter of about 0.1 mm, and both ends thereof are connected to a commercial power source. If it is connected to, it generates heat. The material of the core wire is polyester resin, nylon, cotton or the like. As an example of a heat-controllable heat-generating cord, a heat-generating wire such as a copper-nickel alloy wire is wound around a synthetic or natural fiber core yarn, and then covered with an inner sheath made of a thermoplastic resin. A detection wire such as a metal resistance wire is wound around the peripheral surface of the inner sheath, and then covered with a surface sheath such as silicon resin or polyvinyl chloride resin, and the surface sheath is located in the outermost layer of the heating cord, It has a function of holding a detection line. On the other hand, the inner sheath melts when the heating wire abnormally generates heat, functions as a fuse by fusing, and uses the change in the resistance value of the metal resistance wire, which is the detection wire, to partially or entirely heat generating cord. Temperature control is also possible.

  As another example of a suitable heating cord, there is a heating cord in which a plurality of heating wires such as a copper nickel alloy wire having a diameter of about 0.1 mm are arranged on a core thread and wound in a spiral shape. After the heating wire is wound, it is covered with an inner sheath mainly composed of polyvinyl chloride resin or the like. The inner sheath has a negative temperature-impedance characteristic in which the impedance decreases as the temperature increases by adding an ionic additive. On the peripheral surface of the inner sheath, a strip-like insulating tape such as polyester resin is further wound in a spiral shape on a detection wire such as an iron wire having a rectangular cross section, and the insulating tape is wound and then covered with the surface sheath. The insulating tape is made of an insulating material such as thermoplastic or paper. In this exothermic cord, the insulating tape is wound around the inner sheath and the detection line while being shifted little by little. By multiple winding of the insulating tape, an electric insulating layer having a uniform thickness can be formed relatively easily. The insulating tape has a function of stabilizing the temperature-impedance characteristic of the inner sheath. In this heat generation cord, if the heat generation line and the detection line are short-circuited, the characteristic current flows from the heat generation line through the inner sheath into the detection line according to the heat generation temperature. When this characteristic current flows through the detection line, a characteristic voltage is generated between both ends of the detection line, and this characteristic voltage is detected by an electronic circuit. When the electronic circuit detects that the heat generation temperature has reached a predetermined temperature, it is possible to control the heat generation cord to the predetermined heat generation temperature by stopping the power supply to the heat generation line. In addition, if the detection line is configured to generate heat when energized with commercial power, a characteristic current flowing into the heat generation line is detected.

  The soaking protective layer 7 is made of a metal plate that covers the entire surface of the heat generating layer 6 and needs to have a strength capable of protecting the heat generating layer 6 even if it is relatively thin. The soaking protective layer 7 is preferably an aluminum plate or a copper plate having good thermal conductivity.

  4 and 5, the outer surface layer 16 that serves as reinforcement and decoration is formed on the entire surface of the heat insulating layer 5, and the material thereof may be any of plastic, metal, or wood. The thickness of the outer surface layer 16 is somewhat smaller than that of the heat insulating layer 5 and is generally 2 to 5 mm. The outer surface layer 16 may be appropriately colored, and may further be printed with a trademark, a graphic, and usage instructions on the surface.

  On the other hand, the far infrared ray generation layer 18 is formed on the entire back surface of the soaking protective layer 7, and, for example, a black Bincho charcoal-containing sheet is attached as the layer 18. The far-infrared ray generation layer 18 is a resin sheet containing fine powder of Bincho charcoal. By containing a large amount of Bincho charcoal, the far-infrared ray generation layer 18 releases a large amount of negative ions and further negative ions when heated at an appropriate temperature.

  Since the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 are easily peeled or deformed if they have a simple multilayer structure, it is preferable to reinforce the edges with a frame material, which is made of wood, metal or plastic. For example, the front and rear semicircular end faces 19 and 20 may be trimmed with a semi-annular frame material, and the left and right straight side edges 24 and 24 may be trimmed with a straight frame material, and may be further reinforced in a rib shape. The frame material such as the wooden frames 22 and 26 has a cross-sectional shape such as a rectangle, a chamfered rectangle, or a circle. If the frame material is an edge, the end portions of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 are fitted into the inner rectangular groove 28. It can be fixed with an adhesive.

  The controller 38 shown in FIG. 7 is known per se and can be operated by a push button type toggle switch for simple operation. In addition to the power switch 40, the temperature and time can be set for each semi-cylindrical body. Yes, summer / winter mode settings are possible. In the controller 38, the power cord 46 is pulled out from one side, and the cords 48 and 50 with socket plugs are pulled out from the other side. One cord 48 may be connected to the electrical cord 34 of the semi-cylindrical body 2, and the other cord 50 may be connected to the electrical cord 36 of the semi-cylindrical body 3.

  The floor sheet material 52 is preferably made of a foamable thermoplastic resin or rubber from the viewpoint of touch, and particularly preferably made of foamed polyurethane. If desired, a mat or the like may be laid down in order to further give the floor sheet material 52 thickness and cushioning properties. The floor sheet material 52 may be laminated with a thin heat insulating layer on the lower side, or the floor sheet material 52 may have a layer structure of two layers or three or more layers. Moreover, in order to improve the touch, for example, a thin cloth may be attached to a part of the surface of the floor sheet material 52 or a flocking process may be performed.

  The floor sheet material 52 is made of, for example, aluminum or a resin binder made of polyurethane or acrylic resin latex or a soft resin equivalent thereto so that far infrared rays and negative ions from the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 can be reflected well. It is preferable to add an appropriate amount of fine metal powder such as silver. Instead of adding fine metal powder to the floor sheet material 52, a metal foil or a metal film is sandwiched between two resin layers, or a metal such as aluminum or silver is deposited on one surface of the sheet material. May be. The floor sheet material 52 may be provided with antibacterial property by photocatalyst by adding titanium oxide which is a white pigment having high hiding power.

  The surface pattern layer 54 is dispersedly formed on the surface of the floor sheet material 52 using various printing methods or a roll coater method, and is colored in a color different from that of the floor sheet material 52 to be applied as a pattern. The surface pattern layer 54 contains fine powder such as ceramics, tourmaline, inorganic germanium, or mica stone in a resin binder such as polyurethane.

  When ceramic powder is added to the surface pattern layer 54, it is necessary for the ceramic powder to radiate far infrared rays having a wavelength of 4 to 20 [mu] m at a high temperature range, for example, alumina, zirconium, or lanthanum is used. it can. Since the radiation characteristics of ceramics vary greatly depending on the particle size, particle shape, surface state, filling amount, filling resin, distribution structure, etc., even for the same material, advanced material evaluation techniques are indispensable. For example, alumina-silica-based ceramics and oxide-based ceramics have high selective radioactivity even when dispersed in a resin binder, and non-oxide-based ceramic powders have high overall radiation.

  This type of ceramic powder preferably has an average particle size of about 5 μm or less in order for the resin constituting the surface pattern layer 54 to have a predetermined mechanical strength and to retain wear resistance and washing resistance. . Further, even when the average particle size is about 10 μm, the average particle size is necessarily pulverized to about 5 μm when it is kneaded and dispersed with a resin by a roll mill (not shown). The ceramic powder is added in an amount of 25 to 35% by weight in the surface pattern layer 54. If the content is less than 25% by weight, it is not possible to radiate far infrared rays in a large quantity. On the other hand, when the content of the ceramic powder exceeds 35% by weight, the amount of filling in the resin becomes excessive, the mechanical strength is lowered, and it is difficult to maintain the predetermined wear resistance and washing resistance.

  When inorganic germanium is added to the surface pattern layer 54, it is used in the form of a fine powder of, for example, 5 μm or less, and this fine powder is uniformly and sufficiently kneaded with the resin binder. The inorganic germanium fine powder is added in an amount of 5 to 10% by weight based on the binder resin solution. The thickness of the surface pattern layer may be 10 to 40 μm. This resin solution may be any of resin latex, resin emulsion, resin suspension, hydrophilic copolymer, chemically reactive water-soluble resin, etc., as long as inorganic germanium fine powder can be uniformly kneaded.

  The surface pattern layer 54 containing ceramic powder or inorganic germanium is preferably made of a polyurethane resin or a soft resin equivalent thereto, and the resin is, for example, thermally crosslinkable or crosslinkable over time. Polyurethane resins are excellent in elongation, wear resistance, impact resilience, and compression fatigue strength. The surface pattern layer 54 is not only an appropriate polka dot pattern as shown in the figure, but also a plane pattern combining letters, symbols, or a combination thereof. In general, a simple circular or square plane pattern is uniformly formed on the floor sheet material 52. Then, the base sheet may be cut out as a transfer label and bonded to the floor sheet material 52. When the thickness of the surface pattern layer 54 is about 8 to 40 μm, a predetermined far infrared ray and / or negative ion radiation effect is obtained.

  The perspiration promoting apparatus 1 arranges the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 so as to cover the whole body as shown in FIG. 1 for the user 4 who lies on the floor sheet material 52 and sets the temperature slightly higher by the controller 38. Heat for 15 minutes to 1 hour. As a result, the inside of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 generates heat to a temperature of 40 to 50 ° C., and far infrared rays and negative ions are emitted from the surface pattern layer 54 of the floor sheet material 52, so that the whole body of the user 4 is sweated. Warm your body from the core, and if you are a healthy person, encourage a large amount of sweat in about 40 minutes. This sweat contains excretion from sebaceous glands and eccrine glands in addition to normal sweat, and has a sauna effect that excretes harmful wastes such as heavy metals efficiently outside the body.

  The perspiration promoting device 1 can be used as a normal heating appliance when the controller 38 generates heat at 30 to 40 ° C. When using the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 as a heating appliance, a care recipient is laid between the floor sheet materials 52 and heated to be comfortable by generating heat around 30 ° C. Since the floor sheet material 52 is a resin having a soft surface, it is easy to wipe off sweat, and sheets or the like may be laid in advance.

  The sweating promotion device according to the present invention is used by attaching a heat generating layer, which is a belt-like heater, on the inner peripheral surface of a semi-cylindrical body and arranging one or two or more semi-cylindrical bodies in a nested manner. By entering the inside of the hard semi-cylindrical body, the user can always keep a predetermined distance from the heat generation layer on the inner surface of the semi-cylindrical body, and can heat the entire body of the user almost evenly. The sweating promotion device of the present invention is heated to 40 to 48 ° C. to efficiently generate far infrared rays, sweats from the whole body of the user, warms the body from the core, and in about 40 minutes if it is a healthy person. In addition to encouraging a large amount of sweat, far-infrared rays penetrate into the user's body and stimulate sebaceous glands to promote sebum excretion.

  The sweating promotion device of the present invention covers the entire surface of strip-shaped heaters arranged in parallel with a metal soaking protection layer, so that the number of film heaters can be reduced as in strips and the cost can be reduced. Through the passage of the layers, the entire back peripheral surface of the semi-cylindrical body can be heated almost uniformly. Moreover, by covering with a soaking protective layer, no electrical leakage will occur even if the back surface of the semi-cylindrical body gets wet with water, and the belt heater will not be damaged even if it hits the corner of the table, etc. Can be used safely.

  In the perspiration promoting device of the present invention, the far-infrared ray is formed by forming a far-infrared ray generating layer by attaching a sheet containing Bincho charcoal to the inner peripheral surface of the semi-cylindrical inner peripheral surface and attaching a Bincho charcoal-containing sheet to the inner peripheral surface. At the same time, negative ions are generated, which is beneficial for promoting the health of the user and has a deodorizing effect. The sweating promotion device of the present invention can comfortably warm the user as a normal heating appliance when the temperature is set to 30 to 40 ° C. by the controller. The perspiration promoting device of the present invention can be polymerized if there are two semi-cylindrical bodies, and therefore can be stored and stored easily.

  Next, although this invention is demonstrated based on an Example, this invention is not limited to an Example. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the perspiration promoting device 1 includes two half-cylinders 2 and 3 arranged in a nested manner, and the inner dimension of the front half-cylinder 2 is that of the rear half-cylinder 3. The length can be changed by sliding the semi-cylindrical body 2 or 3 back and forth according to the height of the user 4 and is almost equal to the outer size. For example, the front large-diameter semi-cylindrical body 2 has a width of 695 mm and a height of 440 mm, and the rear small-diameter semi-cylindrical body 3 has a width of 615 mm and a height of 410 mm. It is a curved or semi-elliptical shape whose height is larger than the width of the semi-circle. Moreover, the half cylinders 2 and 3 are both 900 mm in length.

  Each of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 has a multilayer structure as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, and a relatively thick heat insulating layer 5 arranged on the outer peripheral side and a strip shape arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval. A heat generating layer 6 composed of a film heater 8 and a metal heat equalizing protective layer 7 disposed on the inner peripheral side are provided. The heat insulating layer 5 is made of a polypropylene foam having a thickness of 9 mm. On the other hand, the soaking protective layer 7 is an aluminum plate or a copper plate having a thickness of 0.6 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the intermediate heat generating layer 6 is formed by arranging strip-shaped film heaters 8 containing carbon black in parallel at a predetermined interval. The heater groups 10 and 12 are divided into two parts, front and rear, and the front and rear of each group are electrically connected by a semi-annular copper foil body 14. For example, the belt-like film heater 8 has a width of 30 mm, and the gap between the heaters is 25 mm. The band-shaped film heater 8 contains fine powder carbon black, and generates heat when it is energized to emit far-infrared rays.

  4 and 5, a plastic outer surface layer 16 is further laminated on the entire surface of the heat insulating layer 5, and the outer surface layer is appropriately colored and printed with a trademark or a figure. For example, the outer surface layer 16 is made of an acrylic resin having a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. On the other hand, a black Bincho charcoal-containing sheet is attached to the entire back surface of the soaking protective layer 7 to form the far infrared ray generation layer 18. The far infrared ray generation layer 18 emits far infrared rays and further negative ions by heating.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 have a semicircular wooden frame 22 at the front and rear semicircular end surfaces 19 and 20 and straight wooden edges 24 and 24 at the left and right sides. Reinforce with frame 26. The wooden frames 22 and 26 have a rectangular cross section as shown in FIG. 5, and are edged by fitting the end portions of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 into the rectangular groove 28 on the inner side and fixing them with an adhesive. The wooden frames 22 and 26 have, for example, a thickness of 30 mm and a width of 40 mm. The connection points of the wooden frames 22 and 26 may be secured by joining, dowels, wood screws, adhesive, or the like, and may be prevented from shifting by a U-shaped cross-section reinforcing metal fitting.

  A fan-shaped cloth heat shield cover 30 (see FIG. 3) is attached to the front end of the front semi-cylindrical body 2. The cover 30 softly wraps the neck of the user 4 and prevents the heat inside the semi-cylindrical body from escaping from the front to the outside. On the other hand, the rear end of the rear semi-cylindrical body 3 is closed with a semicircular resin plate 32 to prevent the heat inside the semi-cylindrical body from escaping from the rear to the outside.

  In the semi-cylindrical body 2 or 3, electric cords 34 and 36 are connected to both ends of the belt-like film heater 8 (not shown). The electric cords 34 and 36 are pulled out from the side end surfaces of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3, respectively, and a pin plug is attached to the tip of each electric cord.

  On the other hand, the controller 38 shown in FIG. 7 can set temperature and time for each semi-cylindrical body in addition to the power switch 40. In the controller 38, the set time is displayed for each of the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 on the liquid crystal panels 41 and 42, and the set temperature is displayed on the plurality of light emitting LEDs 44. In the controller 38, the power cord 46 is pulled out from one side, and the cords 48 and 50 with socket plugs are pulled out from the other side. One cord 48 may be connected to the electric cord 34 of the semi-cylindrical body 2 and the other cord 50 may be connected to the electric cord 36 of the semi-cylindrical body 3 (see FIG. 2).

  The floor sheet material 52 (FIG. 1) may be selected by the user 4 and a mat or the like may be laid down if cushioning needs to be provided. FIG. 8 illustrates a suitable floor sheet material 52, which is a foamed urethane sheet having a thickness of about 1 mm with a texture formed on the entire surface. To the floor sheet material 52, aluminum fine powder is added to the resin so that far infrared rays can be reflected, and a surface pattern layer 54 with a polka dot pattern is further dispersedly printed.

  The surface pattern layer 54 is dispersedly formed on the surface of the floor sheet material 52 by a screen printing method. For example, the far-infrared radioactive ceramic powder used is, for example, an alumina-silica ceramic powder having an average particle diameter of 1.2 μm. 30% by weight of this ceramic powder and 70% by weight of a polyurethane resin solution having a solid content of 20% are mixed. To 100 g of the mixed solution, 2 g of silica gel and 5 g of an organic solvent are added and stirred, and further 5 g of isocyanate is added. The surface pattern layer 54 is printed on the floor sheet material 52 by a 180-mesh screen plate, and is printed twice with the same screen plate to a thickness of about 11 μm.

  The floor sheet material 52 is, for example, a chamfered rectangle having a width of 950 mm and a length of 1950 mm. The periphery of the floor sheet material 52 is wrapped with an edge cloth 56 and sewn with a sewing thread.

  When the sweating promotion device 1 is used, the semi-cylindrical bodies 2 and 3 are arranged so as to cover the whole body as shown in FIG. 1 for the user 4 who is sleeping on the mat on which the floor sheet material 52 is laid. The internal temperature is set to 40 to 48 ° C. by the controller 38 and heated for about 10 to 60 minutes. The heat dissipated from the film heater 8 of the heat generating layer 6 is blocked from being released to the outside by the heat insulating layer 5, and is distributed almost evenly when passing through the heat equalizing protective layer 7 toward the inside. Warm up almost uniformly.

  On the other hand, when the heat dissipated from the film heater 8 of the heat generating layer 6 is irradiated to the floor sheet material 52 without being irradiated to the user 4, the heat is reflected on the surface, and the floor sheet material 52 itself is slightly warmed. is there. When this heat irradiates the surface pattern layer 54 on the surface of the floor sheet material 52, far-infrared rays and negative ions are emitted from the surface pattern layer to promote sweating from the whole body of the user 4, thereby further warming the body. Furthermore, it encourages a lot of sweating. This sweat contains excretion from sebaceous glands and eccrine glands in addition to normal sweat, and has a sauna effect that excretes harmful wastes such as heavy metals efficiently outside the body.
