The present invention relates to a foot heating device and a temperature control method of a foot heating device, and more particularly, to a device for transferring heat to a part of a foot and a leg and a temperature control method of the device.

Sweating in a person's body keeps the body temperature constant and means that waste products from the body are released out of the body. When the body is not in a balanced state, it has been forced to release sweat from the body. Sauna, which many people use, is a representative example of a man's body that is forced to release sweat.

However, heating the body in the same way as a sauna can only be done in a given place and cannot be used elsewhere. Therefore, foot baths, heat transfer mats, foot heaters, etc., which can be easily used at home, are used. In particular, in recent years, the principle of Doohan fever is very beneficial to health, and has been sold to many people such as half body bath or foot heat.

In the case of the conventional foot heater is formed in a form covering the entire foot is a method of transferring hot heat to the foot from the outside. However, this method requires a support that can support the foot and is quite large because it includes a heating device. Therefore, it is difficult to use for a long time because the user must take a fixed posture when using the conventional foot heater.

In addition, when hot heat is applied to a part of the body for a certain period of time, white blood cells or red blood cells existing in the body are destroyed, which adversely affects a person. Therefore, if the heat is continuously applied to the foot as described above, it will adversely affect the human body.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention for solving the above problems of the present invention is to provide a foot heater formed in a shape corresponding to a part of the foot and leg of the body, the circulation heating portion is distributed as a whole.

In addition, since the wearing port, the temperature control unit, the temperature sensing unit, the temperature sensing unit adjusting switch, the temperature adjusting switch, the timer element, and the remote control are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, the functions and effects of the components are also substantially the same. In the description of this embodiment, reference may be made to the description and drawings of the previous embodiment, and repeated content may be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a circulating heat generating part which is generally distributed in the wearing hole 410 and the wearing hole 410 corresponding to a part of the foot and the leg to transfer heat is provided (S610). At this time, in another embodiment of the present invention, the wearer can distinguish the heating areas to transfer heat of different temperatures for each heating area.

Then, after the user sleeps, the temperature controller 422 raises the temperature of the circulating heating unit 420 to the first temperature T1 (S620). In addition, the time that the user sleeps may be set in advance by using the timer element 450. In addition, the first temperature T1 may be set to about 40 degrees Celsius to deliver warm warmth to the user. Therefore, since the circulating heat generating unit 420 is operated after the user goes to bed, when the user raises the temperature of the circulating heat generating unit 420 to the first temperature T1 before going to bed, the user may be unable to sleep because the user is hot. It can improve the disadvantages.

In addition, the circulating heat generating part 420 is maintained at the first temperature T1 for a predetermined first period (S630). At this time, the first cycle is set to 2 hours to maintain the circulating heating unit 420 at the first temperature (T1) for 2 hours. However, in another embodiment of the present invention, the first period may be set at various times according to the designer's intention.

After the first cycle has elapsed, the circulating heat generating unit 420 is lowered to a second temperature T2 lower than the first temperature T1 (S640). In this case, the period may be checked using the timer element 450, and in another embodiment of the present invention, a separate timer element may be used according to a designer's intention. The second temperature T2 may be set at approximately 33 degrees Celsius, which is the same as the body temperature of the person.

At this time, the user may operate the circulation heating unit 420 to provide hot water of approximately 33 degrees, which is a human body temperature, before going to bed, and after the user sleeps, the circulation heating unit 420 may be operated at a first temperature T1. You can also adjust with. Then, after a predetermined time elapses, the operation of the circulating heat generating unit 420 is turned off to gradually lower the temperature of the hot water in the circulating heat generating unit 420.

16 is a view for explaining a temperature control method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 16, after the user falls asleep, the temperature controller raises the hot water temperature of the circulating heat generator to the first temperature T1. Then, the temperature of the circulating heat generating unit is maintained at the first temperature T1 during the first cycle time. After the first cycle has elapsed, the operation of the circulating heat generating unit may be turned off to gradually lower the temperature of the circulating heat generating unit.

Therefore, the method of controlling the temperature of the foot heat according to the present invention can be used without the user installing a sleep even when the temperature is high, such as summer, because the foot heat is operated after the user sleeps, blood circulation, etc. A therapeutic effect can be obtained.

In addition, even after the foot heater is operated, since the temperature is automatically adjusted from the first temperature T1 to the second temperature T2 which is a relatively low temperature for a predetermined time, heat of a high temperature is continuously transmitted to the user. The adverse influence which arises etc. can be prevented. For reference, if a high temperature heat is continuously applied to the part of the body, the white blood cells and red blood cells may be destroyed, or if the user wakes up, the head may be heavy and provide fatigue.

Therefore, the foot heat according to the present invention implements the principle of Duhan fever to keep the feet warm and the head cool, thereby promoting a variety of effects, such as promoting blood circulation in humans, treating liver disease, treating diabetes, and releasing fat and reducing subcutaneous fat. You can get it.

In addition, since the foot heat according to the present invention is manufactured to correspond to the shape of the foot of the body can be easily moved after wearing, the thickness of the wearing port can also be made very thin compared to the conventional foot foot. Therefore, it is convenient to move the foot foot can be used in any place, there is no inconvenience to wear foot foot long time can be used while the user is sleeping.

In addition, since the foot heater according to the present invention covers the entire foot rather than a part thereof, the thermal insulation is superior to the conventional foot heater, and the temperature can be adjusted from the outside so that the user can always maintain the optimum temperature.

In addition, the foot can be worn while sleeping, and even during bedtime, the temperature of each heating part is automatically adjusted after the time set by the user, thereby preventing the hot temperature from lasting on one part.

As described above, although described with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications and variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below I can understand that you can.
