Description

Air circulation type functional air mattress

The present invention relates to an air circulation type functional air mattress, and more specifically, because it is a method that provides a warming effect of the floor by circulating air instead of water, it is possible to reduce heating time as well as It relates to an air circulation-type functional air mattress that can simplify the structure with a compact structure, and in particular can increase the thermal insulation effect than any other mattresses of the past.

There is an electric mattress for bedding that uses an electric heating wire as a heating medium as an auxiliary means of an ondol floor for heating.

Electric mattresses are used conveniently and economically because they do not operate a boiler to heat the ondol floor, but use an electric heating wire as a heating medium to warm only a suitable area for a person to sit or lie down.

However, there is a problem that the electric mattress is easily broken due to disconnection, and in severe cases, there is a risk that an electric shock or fire accident may occur as an overload current occurs in the electric heating wire due to a malfunction of the controller.

In addition, as it is known that electromagnetic waves generated from electric heating wires have a harmful effect on the human body, the use of electric mattresses using electric heating wires is gradually decreasing.

Among the mattresses developed to compensate for the drawbacks of the electric mattress, there is a so-called hot water circulation type mattress that circulates hot water by a boiler to keep warm instead of using an electric heating wire.

For example, the form shown in Figure 1 is a representative hot water circulation type mattress. This is an upper mattress ( 10) and one or more packs 21, which are disposed under the bed 1, which contain water that is heated or cooled by the temperature of the ondol floor 2, and communicate with each other, are installed in the pack 21. A connection connecting the lower mattress 20 in which the lower temperature sensor 27 for measuring the temperature of water is installed, the circulation tube 11 of the upper mattress 10 and the pack 21 of the lower mattress 20 A hose 30 and a circulation pump 40 installed on the connecting hose 30 to circulate water in the circulation tube 11 of the upper mattress 10 and water in the pack 21 of the lower mattress 20 ) has a structure containing

Although the hot water circulation type mattress of the form shown in Figure 1 or a similar form has been widely used in recent years, it is a method that requires water to be circulated after heating, so it takes a long time to heat, and equipment such as a boiler is inevitably large. In addition, considering that the structure is inevitably complicated, there is a need for a functional air mattress with an air circulation type different from the existing hot water circulation type.

A plurality of mattresses may be placed on it. In particular, the mat interruption module 150 is a structure for forming the first and second air passages 151 and 152, and has a structure in which it is cut up and down, and a large amount is cut at a time to increase mass productivity.

The mat interruption module 150 is a portion through which heated air or room temperature air flows. Accordingly, the first and second air passages 151 and 152 are disposed in the mat suspension module 150 . The first and second air passages 151 and 152 are provided to pass through the mat interruption module 150 above and below. Therefore, it is advantageous for mass production.

By making the first and second air passages 151 and 152 not to be disposed on the upper portion of the air mat unit 120, that is, in the region 150a where the user's head is located, the temperature of the head can be kept low during warm air. .

In the present embodiment, the first and second air passages 151 and 152 in the mat suspension module 150 are independently arranged. Accordingly, only one of the first and second air passages 151 and 152 may allow the warm air to be mild. This is fully possible with control.

The air heating and fan device 160 is a device for blowing the heated air to the first and second air passages 151 and 152 or blowing general air.

The air heating and fan device 160 is disposed on both sides of the device body portion 161 and the device body portion 161, and blows air toward the air outlet 165 of the first and second air passages 151 and 152.

Mat upper cushion portion 131 is a portion disposed on the upper end of the mat middle module (150). The upper cushion part 131 of the mat serves as a cushion. Therefore, it is manufactured to be thicker than the bottom base part 133 of the mat.

The mat upper cushion part 131 may be adhered to the upper end of the mat middle module part 150 by the first eco-friendly adhesive coating part 141, and the mat upper cushion part 131 has a plurality of ventilation holes 132. this is formed

The mat lower base portion 133 is disposed at the lower end of the mat stop module portion (150). The second eco-friendly adhesive coating unit 142 may adhere the mat lower base portion 133 to the lower end of the mat stop module unit 150 . Unlike the upper cushion part 131 of the mat, the base part 133 at the bottom of the mat is blocked.

In addition, a third eco-friendly adhesive coating 143 is further coated on the first and second air passages 151 and 152 sides of the mat interruption module 150 .

As such, in this embodiment, the bottom of the mat bottom base part 133 of the blocked structure is coated on the second eco-friendly adhesive coating part 142 on the lower part of the mat interruption module part 150, and the upper part of the mat interruption module part 150 is The upper cushion part 131 of the mat having a plurality of air vents 132 is adhered to the first eco-friendly adhesive coating part 141 . Accordingly, the air mat unit 120 can form a single integrated module structure.

At this time, the first and second air passages 151 and 152 sides of the mat interruption module 150 are also coated with the third eco-friendly adhesive coating 143 to prevent friction with air, while the first and second air passages It is possible to reduce the absorption of hot air by the wall surface of (151,152).

The absorption of hot air is well absorbed by the mat top cushion part 131, which is an uncoated passage upper surface of the mat interruption module part 150, so that a smooth air circulation flow can be achieved.

On the other hand, the air circulation type functional air mattress 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with a remote control 190 and a controller 180 for controlling the device.

The remote control 190 is a means for inputting various modes for controlling the air heating and fan unit 160 .

After the power switch 168 of the air heating and fan device 160 is turned on, various functions provided in the remote controller 190, that is, a mode can be selected. That is, it is possible to input various modes such as whether to circulate the warm air, to what extent the temperature of the warm air is to be set even if the warm air is circulated, whether to blow room temperature air, and for how many minutes or hours.

The remote control 190 may be connected to the air heating and fan device 160 of the air circulation type functional air mattress 100 through a separate wire 193 . However, wireless is also possible, and it can also be implemented as an application method of a smartphone.

The controller 180 controls the operation of the air heating and fan device 160 based on an input signal input from the remote controller 190 .
