Panel-shaped perspiration promoting apparatus 1 in the present embodiment
Since the heat generating panel body 1a of the above is configured as described above, for example, even when the thickness of the heat generating panel body 1a is reduced to reduce the weight thereof, the surface hardness, the surface pressure strength and the bending of the heat generating panel body 1a itself are reduced. Not only does it reduce the weight of the heat-generating panel body 1a without reducing its strength, and it can be easily carried through the handle 5, it also has extremely high waterproofness, especially in bathrooms with high humidity. It can be used safely.

Further, since the heat generating means is composed of the sheet heating element 2a, not only the entire body can be irradiated with heat by using the entire surface of the heat generating panel body 1a as a heat source section. The thickness of the heat generating panel body 1a can be made extremely thin, and thus the weight can be further reduced, and the convenience of carrying can be further improved.

Further, since the heat-generating resin layer 2 is made of glass fiber-containing epoxy resin, the glass fiber-containing resin layer 3 adhered to the glass fiber-containing epoxy resin.
It is possible to set the expansion coefficients of and to be substantially equal to each other, so that it is possible to completely prevent the occurrence of surface warpage that occurs in the heat generating panel body 1a during molding or use of the heat generating panel body 1a, and Great strength and heat retention can be added.

Further, since the heat generating panel body 1a is divided into a plurality of pieces, and each of the divided heat generating panel bodies 1a is flexibly connected through the hinge 4, heat generated during use is increased. The direction of the heat source of the panel body 1a can be finely adjusted.

In the above embodiment, each of the heat generating panel bodies is divided into a plurality of parts and is connected to the double doors via hinges. However, the plurality of heat generating panel bodies are not always connected via the hinges. It is not necessary to be flexibly connected. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of heat generating panel main bodies are provided inside a heat generating panel main body protector 7 made of a heat-resistant soft resin material or the like at regular intervals. In addition, the heating panel body protector 7 may surround the object through a plurality of internally mounted heating panel bodies, as shown in FIG. , As shown in FIG. 3, it may be connected to extendable (arrow B). In this case,

A foamable synthetic resin layer 6 such as urethane may be interposed between the both, and in this case, not only the radiant heat radiated from the heat-generating panel body can be concentrated on the object, but also It is also possible to reduce the weight.

When the glass fiber-containing resin layer is expanded by utilizing the repulsive force of the glass fiber by heating or expanded by a foaming agent to form a porous material,
It is possible to further reduce the weight of the heat generating panel body while maintaining the strength of the heat generating panel body as a whole. In this case, it is preferable to stack an unexpanded glass fiber-containing resin layer on the back surface of the expanded glass fiber-containing resin layer in order to increase the surface hardness of the back surface.

In the above embodiment, the sheet heating element is a heating element formed by mixing carbon fibers into natural pulp in a thin sheet shape, but a conductive material such as metal fibers may be used. It is needless to say that the heat generating means does not necessarily have to be a planar heat generating element, and may be, for example, a heat generating wire provided over the entire heat generating panel body.

In the above embodiment, the heat-generating resin layer is made of the glass fiber-containing epoxy resin, but it is not limited to the glass fiber-containing epoxy resin.
The point is that the specific type of resin is not limited by the fact that it has a certain level of strength and thermal conductivity with respect to heat, and the presence or absence of glass fibers is by no means limited. It is preferable to contain a certain amount of glass fiber in order to provide the above-mentioned material and to eliminate the difference in thermal expansion and contraction with the glass fiber-containing resin layer.

Further, in the above embodiment, the glass fiber-containing resin layer may be formed into a porous state by expansion and used in a foamed state or in a non-foamed state, In short, if the glass fiber is contained, the surface layer may be a foamed structure and the back layer may be a non-foamed double structure, and the specific resin type of the glass fiber-containing resin layer is by no means limited, The resin layer may be any of polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, nylon, etc., and the resin layer may be integrally adhered to the heat-generating resin layer in a thin film form, and the means of adhesion need not necessarily use an adhesive. Alternatively, thermocompression bonding or fusion bonding may be used.

Further, by interposing a foamable synthetic resin layer such as urethane between the heat-generating resin layer and the glass fiber-containing resin layer, it becomes possible to concentrate the radiant heat radiated by the heat generation in one direction. However, it goes without saying that the specific type of the expandable synthetic resin layer is not limited, and the thickness of the heat generating panel when the expandable synthetic resin layer is interposed is not limited.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the panel-shaped perspiration promoting device is composed of a plurality of heat-generating panel bodies, but it may be used alone, and is used in the panel-like perspiration promoting device. The specific number of heat generating panel bodies used,
The shape, combination, etc. are by no means limited, and the presence or absence of a protector or the like for covering the heat generating panel body is by no means limited.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the temperature adjusting device is separately attached to the heat generating panel body of the panel-shaped perspiration promoting device, but the temperature adjusting device is integrated with the heat generating panel body. The panel-shaped perspiration promoting device may use a plurality of heat-generating panel bodies, and each of the heat-generating panel bodies may be provided with a temperature adjusting device, or a specific function of the temperature adjusting device. Needless to say, the mechanism and the like are not limited.

Further, in the above embodiment, the panel-shaped perspiration promoting device is used in a bathroom or the like having high humidity, but it is not necessarily limited to the bathroom or the like, and it is possible to take advantage of the lightweight and small size which can be carried. It can be used as a space-saving local heating tool for each room of a building, etc., and its usage is not limited at all.

Since the heat-generating means is hermetically sealed by a resin material having a waterproof property and at least the heat-generating resin layer is waterproof, and the heat-generating panel body is formed to be portable, the thickness of the heat-generating panel body can be reduced. Even when the heat generation panel itself does not weaken the surface hardness, surface pressure strength, bending strength, etc. of the heat generation panel, it is possible not only to reduce the self-weight of the heat generation panel but also to improve the heat retention property. When the resin layer is made of glass fiber-containing epoxy resin, the expansion coefficient of the glass fiber-containing epoxy resin and the glass fiber-containing resin layer to be adhered are set to be substantially equal. It becomes possible not only to prevent the occurrence of surface warpage that occurs in the heat generating panel body at the time of molding or using the heat generating panel body, but also to provide greater strength, and When the glass fiber-containing resin layer is formed into a porous shape by expansion, the weight of the heat generating panel can be further reduced while maintaining the strength of the entire heat generating panel.

Furthermore, when a foamable synthetic resin layer is interposed between the heat-generating resin layer and the glass fiber-containing resin layer, the radiant heat emitted from the heat-generating panel body can be concentrated on the object. I can.
