When the bedtime arrives, the initial temperature set value (temperature value set by the user by the setting mode) is judged, and the temperature of the heat generating unit 110 is lowered to the set temperature (in the initial temperature and the deep sleep temperature range). After that, keep it constant for a certain time (bedtime).

At this time, the temperature drop of the mat starts to fall from 40 minutes before the set time from 50 ~ 80 ℃ the temperature setting range of the general automatic sleep function to 25 ~ 49 ℃ the temperature setting range of the thermal mat having a steaming function and 1 ℃ It is preferable to descend at a descending speed of / min.

At this time, the output is stopped.

Then, the above operation is repeated until the set time elapses.

In addition, the output of the potential prevents simultaneous operation with the heater of the heat generator 110 for safety reasons, and operates when the heater is turned off when the set temperature is reached when the heat generator 110 is not in operation. After the heater is operated again, the configuration is made to turn off.

In addition, the dislocation treatment can be controlled in the same manner as in 7b to increase the dislocation treatment time.

In the method of controlling the setting time of the above-mentioned potential treatment, if 30 minutes have not elapsed after inputting the potential steam bed function, the same operation as in 7a is performed, and when the potential steaming time is 30 minutes, the heat heater of the heat generator is turned off. And the potential is outputted, and the operation can be performed for 30 seconds.

In addition, the above potential therapy, the high voltage generating circuit 750v electric field stimulates each tissue of the human body to increase sodium and calcium ions in the blood, alkalinize the blood, generate an induced current inside the living body It affects body fluids and cells, thereby promoting cell activation and tissue metabolism.

By the above configuration, if the user falls asleep in the sleep mode after receiving treatments such as heat and acupressure through the thermal mat, the user may sleep by maintaining a constant temperature.

As described above, according to the present invention, the temperature after the sleep using the sleep mode is lowered to the reserved temperature to maintain the most suitable temperature for sleep, thereby preventing energy loss and improving health.

In addition, the function of dislocation therapy in bedtime poultice is added to facilitate blood circulation as well as to generate an induced current in the living body to activate body fluids and cells, thereby promoting tissue metabolism.
