Description

Heating stone bed using separate circulation of hot water {HEATING STONE BED USING CIRCULATING HEATED WATER SEPARATELY}

The present invention relates to a heating stone bed using a separate circulation of hot water, and specifically, a hot water circulation panel provided for heating the stone bed is divided into two or more segments and hot water pipes in which hot water is introduced and circulated independently of each segment. It is to bury each, by controlling the amount of hot water introduced into the hot water pipe of each segment relates to a heating stone bed using a separate circulation of hot water that can control the heating temperature differently for each segment.

In general, stone beds use stones (hereinafter referred to as 'stone tablets') instead of mattresses of ordinary beds.In the nature of the stones, they are usually cold without heating, but if the proper temperature is maintained, far infrared rays are radiated. Since it facilitates blood circulation, many people choose to use it, and it is especially favored by the elderly and patients in need of recovery.

Such a stone bed can be used to heat the stone plate quickly by using a heating device in winter or cold weather, and can provide a warm and cozy bed with a steaming effect, and in the summer, it is possible to provide a cool bed because of the cold nature of the stone plate.

On the other hand, the device for heating the stone bed has already been presented in various ways, it can be largely divided into a method using an electric heater and a method using hot water.

Representative examples of the method using a double electric heater is the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 96-5602 and the Publication No. 94-6102. However, the technique presented in the above registration proposal is suitable for cushion mattresses and is not suitable for stone mattresses.

In addition, in the case of the electric heater system, electromagnetic waves are generated, which is very harmful to the human body. Therefore, internationally, standards for electromagnetic wave generation are regulated. In order to comply with these regulations, the heating element is shielded to prevent the generation of electromagnetic waves. It may be in a state of being exposed to harmful environment because it is not properly grounded, and it is likely to cause a lot of damage as it is used as it is.

In order to solve this problem, beds employing hot water heating have been proposed and used, and as typical examples, Korean Utility Model Publication Nos. 96-3287, 96-524, 96-1444 and 92-2266. The technique presented in the above registration also relates to heating devices suitable for cushion mattresses.

In addition, in the hot water heating, a water tank should be provided, but since the replenishment water tanks must be provided next to the water tank, there is a problem in that the installation space is relatively narrow and the bed structure is limited.

Meanwhile, the Korean Utility Model Publication No. 96-684 has been presented for heating the stone mattress. The registration proposal was to heat the stone mattress by a heating plate capable of temperature control instead of the heater. However, in this case, since the heating plate must be continuously heated, power consumption is increased, and the structure is complicated to insulate the heating plate, which causes a problem of an increase in the product price.

The present invention is proposed to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to heating the stone bed using a separate circulation of hot water that can be the most economical and efficient heating without generating electromagnetic waves for heating the stone mattress of the stone bed To provide a bed.
