The present invention relates to a thermal mat, and more particularly, to a thermal mat for heating and heating by forcibly circulating hot water heated by electric heat.

Recently, the mat is manufactured and used as an electric sheet that generates heating by electric resistance heat, and most of these electric field plates have a structure in which resistance heating wires are applied to obtain electric heat by electric current. Heat is obtained by the direct resistance heating method that sends current to itself.

On the other hand, the mattress (bedtress) refers to the bedding bed, that is, the bed mat, but today it refers to the bedding bed on the ondol room or floor, even under the yoke, it is also made of cushion type.

Most of such mats as electric blankets or electric cushions are stacked in a flat form without being thick. For example, an insulating polyester film, a high pressure styropole, a planar heating element, a ceramic paper, an insulating polyester film and a sheet are laminated. It can be mentioned.

In addition, the planar heating element is electrically connected to the temperature controller, the current is applied to the planar heating element is interrupted according to the temperature state of the heat generated from the planar heating element itself.

However, the mat used for the above-mentioned electric sheet / cushion, etc., is known to harm the human body because only a large amount of harmful electromagnetic waves are generated since only the core wire made of a metal such as nichrome or iron chromium is used as a heating wire.

Electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic waves are generated when the charge vibrates rapidly or the current changes vibratingly, and the electrical effects such as the intensity change periodically in the space corresponding to the passage, such as light, It propagates at speed (about 300,000 km per second in the vacuum).

In addition, electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic waves are electric transverse waves that vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation accompanied by electric and magnetic fields, and have characteristics such as reflection / interference / diffraction / convenience and have a relatively long wavelength (frequency). Electromagnetic waves in the (low) range can generate a motor current using a suitable power supply and vibration circuit, and also act as noise when flowing through the antenna.

In other words, the radio waves as noise occurs in a wide frequency band and interferes with communication, and not only has a reverse function such as being received as noise through an antenna, but also affects the occurrence of childhood cancer such as leukemia and is harmful to humans and animals. It is known.                         

In order to solve the harmful effects of the heat transfer mat as described above, the invention such as 'hot water plate' disclosed in the Utility Model Publication No. 20-1985-0008998 in the Republic of Korea Patent Office.
