う問題点を有していた。2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electric blanket of this type includes an electric heater 1 and temperature detection means 2 for detecting the temperature of the electric heater, as shown in FIG.
a blanket main body 3, a temperature setting means 4 for setting the temperature of the electric heater, a switch 9 for starting preheating, a timer 10 for setting the preheating time, and a signal from the timer 10 and a temperature detection means 2. Temperature detected by and temperature setting means 4
The electric blanket was equipped with a control means 8 for controlling energization to the electric heater based on a signal from the electric heater. With this configuration, the switch 9 was turned on, the preheating time was set using the timer 10, and the temperature was automatically returned to the appropriate temperature setting. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-8176.) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the method using a timer as described above, it is very time-consuming because it is necessary to turn on the preheating switch and set the timer. . In addition, you do not necessarily go to bed at the time set on the timer, and if you go to bed earlier than the time set on the timer, the temperature will remain set at a high temperature, so you will have to turn off the timer. If you fall asleep without turning off the timer, the temperature of the blanket will be too high, making you feel hot and uncomfortable. Also, it is necessary to manually turn off the electric blanket when waking up.
This has the problem that it is time consuming and that people often forget to cut it.

度設定に自動的に切シ変わる。When electricity is started with this electric blanket, preheating is started at a high temperature setting by the temperature setting means 4, regardless of the desired sleeping temperature set by the person entering the bed in advance. Sound detection means 5 attached to one end of the blanket body constantly analyzes the frequency of sound, and when a person enters the bed afterwards, the level of the frequency of breathing sounds and heartbeats generated from the human body increases. When this frequency reaches a certain level or higher,
The determination means 6 determines that a person has entered the bed, and the setting change means 7 receives this signal and changes the setting from the high temperature setting for preheating to the desired temperature for sleeping set in advance by the person entering the bed using the temperature setting means 4. automatically changes to
