Description

Foot heat

The present invention relates to a foot heater for applying heat to a foot of a person, and more particularly, to a foot heater for arranging by applying heat to a foot by far infrared rays radiated from a far infrared ray radiator including loess heat generated by a heating means. It is about.

Sweating in the human body keeps the body temperature constant, and waste products from the body are released from the body and can be said to be an important factor to keep the body in a healthy state. In a state where the body is not balanced, it has been forced to release sweat from the body. One way to force this sweat was to enter the sauna bath and expose the whole body to temperatures as high as 100 degrees Celsius.

However, forcibly releasing sweat from the body in such a sauna method requires a sauna facility, so it is necessary to visit an equipped bath or install an expensive sauna facility at home.

In addition, since heating the body by the sauna method generates heat from the outer skin of the human body to the inside of the human body, it takes much time for the human body to become completely warm, and it is very difficult to endure the high temperature until that time. It's work. Therefore, the person who is weak patient will come out of the sauna room with only the heat of the outer skin. Such sauna is ineffective.

In addition, the sauna system generates the same heat throughout the body, and people with health problems such as heart disease cannot use the sauna unreasonably.

In addition, sauna facilities shared by the public cannot be fixed to their preferred temperature because they are not used alone.

In addition, when the sauna is used for dieting or treating certain diseases, it is impossible to continuously execute the sauna because it is necessary to use the sauna facility, and it is difficult to perform daily tasks during the sauna.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to cure such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a foot warmer that allows the heat of the foot to gradually spread throughout the body by intensively warming the foot far from the human body. Therefore, a person gradually dissipates heat all over the body without the inconvenience of having to endure high fever as in a sauna room, so a person with a certain degree of patience can release sweat sufficiently, even if he has a disease such as heart disease. It can release sweat without difficulty.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a foot heater that does not occupy many places, such as a sauna room, so that the foot can be heated in a convenient manner even in a narrow space. At this time, the foot can be configured dry or wet, and to be able to exhaust the sweat from the body sufficiently while doing daily work.

Still another object of the present invention is to heat the foot by the far infrared rays beneficial to the human body by heating the nuclear radiation source including nuclear loess, to maintain a healthier body.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a safe footer by providing a means for setting the temperature of the footer, and having a means for operating the footer at the set temperature and displaying the temperature. will be.

The heating element 30 is installed inside the cases 11, 14, and 12 of the foot heater 10 of the present invention, and the far-infrared radiation material (hereinafter referred to as ocher) 20 is formed around the heating element. This is filled. A heat shield layer 15 is formed between the case and the loess 20.

The inner case 12 is a jar-shaped foot receiving portion 100 is formed.

As the heating element 30 which is a heat generating means, a normal heating wire or an ordinary planar heating element can be used.

3 is a block diagram of an electric circuit of the present invention.

The foot heater 10 is provided with a temperature setting means 40, and the temperature detected by the normal temperature sensing means 42 using a bimetal or the like is compared by the controller 46. At this time, when the detected temperature is smaller than the preset temperature, a driving signal for heating the heating element 30 is supplied to the driving unit 45 to generate the heating element 30, and when the detected temperature is higher than the set temperature, the driving signal. To keep the temperature constant. In addition, the control unit 46 displays the temperature information supplied from the temperature sensing unit 42 on the display unit 41.

In the driving unit 45, the switching element Q is switched by a control signal supplied from the control unit 46, and the relay Ry is operated by the switching operation, and whether the contact a interlocked with the relay is opened or closed. As a result, power is supplied to the heating element 30.

Hereinafter, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

After inserting the human foot into the receiving unit 100, the power switch (S) is turned on, and if the temperature of the temperature setting unit 40 is set to a desired temperature, the heating element 30 according to the control operation of the controller 46 ) Is heated to maintain a constant temperature. At this time, the ocher 20 filled around the heating element receives heat from the heating element 30 to radiate far infrared rays, thereby generating the accommodating part 100.
