Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermal mat that maximizes far-infrared emissivity, and has a silicone having excellent cushioning as a main material, and impregnated with a far-infrared radiator in the form of particulates to form a mat, and then heats the non-stretch fabric sheet on the mat surface at high temperature. By laminating the surface sheet layer formed by adhesion method, the surface sheet layer made of non-stretch fabric forms a part of the mat and functions as a radiator, while providing a heat transfer layer between a pair of upper and lower mats, The heating means is installed again between the lower mat and the heat transfer layer.

When the foamed molding of the mat laminating the surface sheet layer of the non-stretchable fabric on the surface, around the far infrared emitters positioned inside the mat with the volume change of the mat horizontal direction is prevented due to the non-elasticity of the surface sheet layer An air layer is formed to receive the radiation energy. Therefore, when the heating means located between the mats is heated, the far infrared rays emitted from the far infrared radiator are stored as active kinetic energy in the air layer, and the far infrared radiation energy is processed into a mat. As the silicone material is expanded, the weft yarns and the warp yarns are kept sufficiently tense and pass through the non-stretchable surface sheet layer having excellent transmittance, and the infrared ray transmittance of about 90% is provided and the optimum far infrared ray radiation effect is provided. This is because the surface sheet layer, which is composed of non-stretch fabric, forms part of the mat, so that the surface sheet layer also functions as a far infrared emitter.

Description

Thermal mat {Heating mat}

The present invention relates to a thermal mat, in particular a silicone having excellent cushioning as a main material, and impregnated with a far-infrared radiator in the form of fine particles to form a mat, and then attaching a non-stretch fabric sheet to the mat surface by high temperature thermocompression bonding. By laminating the configured surface sheet layer, the surface sheet layer composed of non-stretch fabric is configured to function as a radiator forming a part of the mat, while providing a heat transfer layer between the upper and lower pair of mats, and the lower mat and heat transfer. The present invention relates to a thermal mat that maximizes far-infrared emissivity between heating layers.

In general, the thermal mat for dissipating heat includes a heating unit in which heat generating means such as a silicon heater and a carbon heater are built, a far-infrared radiator including various kinds of ceramic fine particles emitting far-infrared energy, and charcoal in an outer layer covering the surface. By selectively installing pharmacological action layers, or electromagnetic wave blocking layers, including ocher, magnets, etc., various structures are provided to promote the circulation of blood through the thermal effect as well as the activation of bioenergy for the disabled or the elderly. It is proposed.

However, in the conventional thermal mat, the inner mat including the far-infrared radiator and its laminate are covered with an outer layer surrounding these surfaces. Furthermore, the outer layer is made of synthetic resin, and the radiation emitted from the far-infrared radiator housed therein As the transmittance of energy was greatly reduced, it was satisfied with the thermal function which did not expect any far infrared radiation effect.

In order to activate water molecules in vivo, it is necessary to radiate and respond to radiation wavelengths of 5-20 microns (μm), which are resonance absorption wavelengths of water molecules. When water molecules are absorbed by resonance of far infrared rays whose center wavelength band is 5 ~ 20㎛, active movement is caused. Correlation between specific wavelengths of far infrared rays and activation of water molecules has a very important meaning for maintaining the life of all living things including human beings. In other words, the atoms and molecules vibrate, the water molecules are activated by the 'resonance absorption phenomenon', the temperature of the subcutaneous layer rises, the micro blood vessels expand, the blood thins, and the blood circulation is promoted. In this way, it is possible to promote enzyme production, and thus to promote metabolism, thereby facilitating nutrient supply and oxygen supply to capillaries, and excretion of waste accumulated in the body and unnecessary harmful accumulation through sweat glands as moisture.

Far-infrared rays, which are absorbing rays, have a property of going straight. The longer the wavelength, the higher the absorption rate. Since far infrared rays, which have a central wavelength band of 5-20 µm absorbed by water molecules, have a high absorption rate, almost all of them are blocked by absorption even in transparent glass having a thickness of 1 mm. Most of them, only near-infrared rays of less than 4 µm and very weak far-infrared rays are transmitted.

Therefore, by applying the far-infrared radiator that emits far-infrared rays of 5 ~ 20㎛ whose central wavelength band has the function of activating the growth of living body by resonant absorption of water molecules in the body, to use the efficacy of effective far infrared rays correctly There shall be no jamming in the middle of the far-infrared radiator.

In other words, only when the far infrared rays are directly radiated on the bare skin of the body, far infrared rays having a center wavelength band of 5 to 20 µm can resonate with water molecules in the body. Only the thermal effect of heat conducted or radiated from the heating element can be expected.

In addition, the conventional thermal mat covering the surface with an outer skin layer such as a synthetic resin has poor breathability and water tightness due to the characteristics of the coated material, so that sweat generated due to the thermal effect transmitted to the user is bound to the outer skin layer made of a synthetic resin. Not only provide discomfort, but also cause odor, and when the user's skin comes in contact with the outer skin layer made of synthetic resin, the texture gives an unpleasant feeling such as slippery or sticky. It was.

Another object of the present invention is to foam-form the mat having the surface sheet layer of the non-stretch fabric laminated on the surface thereof, so that the volume change of the mat horizontal direction is prevented due to the non-elasticity of the surface sheet layer, the inside of the mat An air layer for receiving radiation energy is formed around the far-infrared radiators, through which the far-infrared rays emitted from the far-infrared radiator are stored as active kinetic energy in the air layer when heating the heating means located between these mats. The energy keeps the weft and warp in tension with the expansion of the silicon material during the mat processing, and passes through the non-elastic surface sheet layer with excellent transmittance, and shows the near-infrared ray transmittance of about 90% and provides the optimal far-infrared radiation effect. It is.
