Description

  The present invention relates to a floor heating apparatus having a potential generation function, and more particularly to a floor heating apparatus in which a potential generator is incorporated in a circulating floor heating apparatus and an auxiliary device for a potential generation function that can be incorporated in an existing floor heating apparatus.

Conventional floor heating devices are configured by sequentially laminating a heat equalizing plate and a floor plate, which uniformly disperse heating wires and heat, on a base portion of the floor. In this floor heating method, dust does not rise as compared with a convection heating method such as a fan heater or an air conditioner, and warm air is easily formed in the vicinity of the floor, so that it feels warm in a sense. Therefore, it can be said that it is an effective heating method in a house where an infant or an elderly person who is easily affected by a cold or the like is present.
In addition, electric potential therapy improves the circulation of blood by placing a human body in a high-voltage electric field consisting of a weak current and a high voltage, and relieves symptoms such as stiff shoulders, headache, insomnia, and chronic constipation.
Combining the above heating method and electric potential therapy, the electric power supplied to the electric floor heating device is supplied to the negative potential generator incorporated in the device when the floor heating is not used, so that floor heating and electric potential therapy are performed alternately This is the invention described in Patent Document 1.

However, in the case of the electric floor heating apparatus with a potential generator described above, an electric field consisting of a high voltage and a minute current is applied to the soaking sheet when the potential generating function is used, while the soaking sheet is negative when using the floor heating. The floor is warmed by electrically disconnecting it from the potential generating circuit and generating heat by passing a large current through the heating wire. Therefore, the simultaneous use without providing any safety device between the potential generating function circuit and the floor heating circuit may cause electric leakage. For this reason, the power source of the potential generator and the power source of the floor heating device are configured to be switched during each use, and the power source of the floor heating device is turned off when the potential therapy is continuously performed. That is, depending on use conditions such as the severe winter season, the floor may be cooled during the electric potential therapy, which is not good for health.
In addition, when a floor heating device is already installed, construction costs such as replacing the floor and securing a new power source are increased in order to install the electric floor heating device described above.

The heat dissipating part 14 is placed on the floor foundation part, and a base panel 18 made of foamed urethane or the like having a heat insulating effect is disposed between the joists so as to prevent cold air from under the floor, and hot water or warm air from the boiler part 12 is arranged. The heat radiating pipe 16 for circulating the heat medium is bent and arranged in a predetermined shape, and the gap between the heat radiating pipes 16 is filled with a heat insulating material 17 made of non-combustible chemical fiber or glass fiber and having a heat retaining effect and a heat insulating effect.

The pipe 16A is configured to be wound and energized along the pipe surface. Here, since the heat insulating material 17 is filled between the soaking layer 15A and the radiating pipe 16A, the soaking layer 15A is insulated from the radiating pipe 16A. Therefore, the soaking layer 15A and the heat radiating pipe 16A are connected by the conductive metal wire 19 so that a uniform potential is applied to the soaking layer 15A.

The temperature is detected by the floor temperature sensor 26c and the temperature change is constantly monitored to control the heat source.

A load resistor 43 is connected to the anode side of the output terminal of the rectifier circuit, and a ground resistor 44 and an output resistor 45 exhibiting a very small resistance value compared to the load resistor 43 are a ground point of the diode bridge 42 and a negative potential generating circuit 40, respectively. The output terminal 47 is connected to the output terminal 47. The switch 46 is provided with a switch 46a on the output side and a switch 46b on the ground side.

A negative potential generation method of the potential generator 30 will be described with reference to FIG.
In order to generate a negative potential by the negative potential generation circuit 40, both the switches 46a and 46b are closed. At this time, when the AC power supply 41 is positive with respect to the ground potential, a current flows through the load resistor 43 and the ground resistor 44, and a voltage approximate to the ground potential is output to the output terminal 47 of the negative potential generation circuit 40. . On the other hand, when the AC power supply 41 has a negative potential, a current flows through the output resistor 45 and a negative voltage is output to the output terminal 47.

It is preferable.

As shown in FIG. 9, the AC voltage input from the AC power supply 41 is a sine waveform 48 having a nominal voltage of 200 V or 100 V and an amplitude of about 282 V or about 141 V at the maximum. Then, a waveform 49 in which a waveform portion lower than the reference voltage is extracted from the input waveform 48 as shown in FIG. That is, the positive voltage component of the input voltage is suppressed and output by the load resistor 43, and the negative voltage component is output without suppressing the input voltage by bypassing the load resistor 43, thereby adding strength to the negative voltage. Generate pulsating flow.
Here, the negative potential generating circuit 40 is incorporated with a resonance circuit or a booster circuit composed of a capacitor or a coil to boost the maximum voltage, or a DC circuit using a diode bridge and a clip circuit composed of a rectifier is incorporated into a reference voltage. It is also possible to configure so as to be able to adjust.
Further, the negative potential generating circuit 40 constituting the potential generator 30 can be formed so as to be incorporated in the temperature controller 20. In this case, the temperature controller display unit 21 and the potential generator display unit 31 are combined into one and can be used as both the temperature controller display unit 21 and the potential generator display unit 31 by switching the display. The temperature controller 20 and the negative potential generating circuit 40 can be arranged on the substrate, and can be controlled collectively by the central processing unit 25.
