According to the present invention, a net-like heating element coated with conductive carbon is generated in a bed so as to generate heat by electrical resistance. The heating element is easy to manufacture and has excellent durability such as prevention of disconnection of fiber yarn and partial heat generation by the user's choice. It relates to a mattress with a heating element.

Conventionally, a large number of heating elements made of carbon in a heating element built into a mattress or a mat have been introduced and introduced, for example, 'health mat' of Korean Patent No. 0231389 and Patent No. 0278864 'carbon woven thermal mattress for bed' And 'Battery Electric Mattress', which is a registered patent model No. 258731.

The inventions, although somewhat different in the configuration of the mat, and all have a common in that the heat generated by supplying electricity by arranging or weaving a carbon yarn, that is, a yarn made of carbon with respect to the mat at a predetermined interval.

However, carbon has a drawback in that the manufacturing cost is very high because carbon is manufactured based on carbon. Durability such as carbon fiber is easily disconnected and does not generate heat when the heating element formed by arranging or weaving carbon is folded or folded. Very vulnerable to

To solve this problem, instead of using a carbon yarn, the cotton yarn is impregnated in a carbon mixture mixed with carbon and an adhesive, dried to apply electricity to the carbon coated cotton yarn to act as a resistance wire, PVC coating The technology applied to the mat has been introduced as a 'heat mat using a plane heating element' of the Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 0195313.

However, when the carbon coated cotton yarn woven paper is to be PVC coated, it is difficult to maintain the woven paper in its original state (approximately rectangular net shape).

That is, in order to coat the textile paper, it is necessary to spread evenly so that the fiber yarn is not concentrated or folded on a part of the textile paper, but since the cotton yarn has a lot of flexibility, the work of unevenly spreading it is complicated and time-consuming, and the PVC is not unevenly spread. If the coating is a part that does not generate heat, or there is a problem that the high heat occurs in the overlapped or densely concentrated areas of the cotton yarn, there was a problem that the uniform temperature distribution is difficult for the entire mat.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, the present invention can facilitate the coating operation by making it easy to maintain the carbon-coated woven in the original state on the net and uniform for the entire mattress It is possible to show a temperature distribution, and to selectively heat the entire surface of the heating element, and to have flexibility even after external coating or pressing by the synthetic resin material, so as not to affect the mattress cushioning property. There is this.

It is still another object of the present invention to apply a carbon heating element to a mattress so that the user can selectively generate partial heat generation, ie, divide the compartment by the area of the mattress and only partially generate heat to the compartment.

The present invention for achieving the above object, while weaving a flexible fiber yarn in the form of a net in the longitudinal and transverse direction, the stiff synthetic resin yarn in one direction selected from the longitudinal or transverse direction so that the woven fabric is easy to maintain the original state Includes alternate weaving with flexible fiber yarns.

In addition, the present invention is to weave a plurality of strands of copper wire together on both sides of the long side and the center of the woven fabric, respectively, the positive (+) terminal on each side of the long side copper wire, and the negative (-) terminal to the central copper wire by connecting the positive ( +) A controller for selectively applying power to the electrode.

The present invention also includes coating a synthetic resin by squeezing or impregnating a carbon-coated woven fabric onto a flexible gel on a flexible gel.

BEST MODE Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an overall plan view of a heating element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the configuration of the heating element 100 of the present invention with reference to Figure 1, the heating element 100 is a flexible fiber yarn to be embedded in the entire mattress area as shown in the longitudinal and transverse mesh form It is woven in a suitable size, and a pair of electrode portions 30, 50 woven several strands of copper wire at the edge of the longitudinal direction (hereinafter referred to as 'long side') and the center of the longitudinal direction together with the flexible fiber yarn The woven electrode portion 40 is formed.

In a preferred embodiment, the pair of long side electrode portions 30 and 50 are connected to positive terminals 31 and 51, respectively, and the central electrode portion 40 has a negative terminal 41. ) Is connected, and the positive terminal 31 and 51 and the negative terminal 41 are electrically connected to the controller 70.

In the heating element 100 configured as described above, the first heat generating part 10 is formed between the long side one side electrode part 30 and the center electrode part 40, and the long side other side electrode part 50 and the center electrode part 40. A second heat generating portion 20 is formed in the coating layer 60 on the gel GEL having flexibility on the entire surface of the heating element 100.

The heating element 100 is electrically generated using conductive carbon as a material, and the configuration and weave of the carbon will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B of FIG. 1.

Looking at the cross-sectional configuration of the electrode portion 30 and the first heat generating portion 10 with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the flexible fiber yarn 11 of the first heat generating portion 10 has flexibility, and Mutually woven in the form of lattice in the lateral and transverse directions, and the lateral flexible fiber yarn is relatively densely woven together with several strands of copper wire 32 in the electrode portion 30, and other electrode portions not shown in this weaving method. 40 and 50 can be configured, in which case the weaving can be done according to the usual weaving means.

Looking at the longitudinal cross-sectional configuration of the second heat generating portion 20 with reference to Figures 1 and 3, the flexible fiber yarn 11 is woven in the form of a mutual net in the longitudinal and transverse directions, but in Figure 3 As shown, the lateral flexible fiber yarn 11 and the rigid synthetic resin yarn 12 are alternately woven.

That is, alternately woven in the same order as the flexible fiber yarns, rigid synthetic resins, flexible fiber yarns, rigid synthetic resins in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal flexible fiber yarns.

The rigid synthetic resin yarn 12 has rigidity as compared to the flexible fiber yarn, and thus prevents tangling with the weaving spacing of the flexible fiber yarn by the rigid synthetic resin yarn 12 so as to maintain the original weave form of the woven fabric as it is. , Compared to the woven fabric only woven with flexible fiber yarns as in the conventional woven form is to facilitate the return to a relatively circular state.

The rigid synthetic resin having this action may be constructed entirely with respect to the transverse length of the heating element, or may be woven in the longitudinal direction by the manufacturer's choice.

Subsequently, when the woven fabric is impregnated with liquid conductive carbon, the carbon coating layer 90 coated with carbon is formed on the flexible fiber yarn 11, the rigid synthetic resin 12, and the copper wire 32.

In addition, the woven fabric on which the carbon coating layer 90 is formed is further compressed and dried by gel-like synthetic resin having flexibility, for example, gel (GEL) urethane resin, gel PVC, gel PE, gel PET or the like by heat. Or impregnating the woven fabric with the synthetic resin on the various gels forms a flexible synthetic resin coating layer as shown for the entire woven fabric.

At this time, in the manufacturing process for forming the synthetic resin coating layer 60, since the rigid synthetic resin yarn 12 maintains the woven fabric in a circular state, it is easy to unfold the coating or crimping work, and also generated by the weaving of flexible fiber yarn Since the mesh size is kept constant, it is possible to maintain an even temperature distribution over the entire area of heat generation during heat generation, and even if the synthetic resin coating layer 60 having flexibility is bent or bent, the inner woven heating element is not disconnected.

4 is a perspective view showing a part of the heating element is cut in the state built in the mattress according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 4, as mentioned above, the heating element 100 of the present invention is composed of electrode parts 30 and 50 connected to positive terminals 31 and 51 on a long side, and the center of the heating element 100 according to the present invention. The negative electrode terminal 41 is connected to the electrode unit 40, and the power input to these terminals is configured to be controlled by the controller 70.

Therefore, when power is supplied to only one side, for example, the positive terminal 31 in a state where power is continuously input to the negative terminal 41, heat is generated only in the first heat generating unit 10. The second heat generating unit 20 does not generate heat. On the contrary, when power is supplied only to the positive terminal 51, the heat is generated only in the second heat generating unit 20. According to the control of the controller 70 of the partial heating is selectively possible.

In addition, when the heating element 100 is embedded in a bed, a fiber cloth 81 is embedded between the mattress cover 82 and the heating element, and the fiber cloth 81 exerts far-infrared rays beneficial to the human body, for example, jade, Ocher, ceramic, and charcoal can be added to powder or magnets that release magnetic force to help blood circulation can be installed in several places, or copper wire can be installed in the form of a mesh to block harmful electromagnetic waves generated from heating elements. Alternatively, tourmaline powder or silver powder that selectively generates anions can be added.

Silver, ocher and charcoal powders are known to prevent the growth of bacteria and mites, and tourmaline, known as tourmaline, emits a microcurrent within itself and is known to increase in amount by heating. The selected or mixed materials are more actively acted on by the heat generated by the heating element 100.

5 is a cross-sectional view of the mattress with a heating element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the fiber cloth 81, the carbon heating element 100, the latex pad 83, the spring 84, and the memory foam pad 85 are sequentially stacked below the mattress cover 82. The components listed above are not limited to the illustrated order, and the components listed above may be selected as needed or the stacking order may be different.

Unexplained latex (LATEX) pad 83 is a cushion material made from the latex extracted from the rubber tree as a raw material, it is known as a good breathable material because of excellent tensile and resilience and porous material.

* In addition, since the memory foam pad 85 is a low elasticity and high density material, the shock absorbing power is excellent, and when such a material is installed at the bottom of the mattress, vibration or shock generated on the mattress is transmitted to the bottom of the mattress. You can stop doing so.

Although the foregoing description has been described based on FIGS. 1 to 5 shown for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples, but includes a combination of many functions and optional additions of the present invention described above. It is to be understood that changes can be made in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention provided by the claims of the present invention set forth below.

As described above, according to the heating element according to the present invention, since the rigid synthetic resin yarns are alternately woven together with the flexible fiber yarns in any one direction of the woven fabrics of the flexible fiber yarns, the first gap of the weaving of the flexible fiber yarns can be maintained as it is, but the entanglement is prevented. It is very easy to apply gel coating resin (compression or impregnation) as well as achieve uniform temperature distribution over the whole area, and the heating element is flexible by coating the gel resin, so even if it is embedded in the bed mattress It is possible to maintain the cushioning properties without reducing the cushioning properties of the spring.

In addition, by providing a pair of positive electrode parts on the long side of the heating element and configuring the central electrode part as a negative electrode, partial heating is possible when power is applied to the positive electrode part according to a user's selection. Therefore, it is possible to select whether or not to heat according to the taste of two people sleeping, as well as to prevent unnecessary power consumption when sleeping by one person.

In addition, when jade powder, ocher powder, ceramic powder, charcoal powder, etc. added to the fiber cloth are added, a large amount of far infrared rays or anions are radiated due to the heating of the heating element, and in the case of magnets, blood circulation is promoted by magnetic bath, If it is installed is a very useful invention that has the effect of blocking harmful electromagnetic waves generated from the heating element.
