Description
본 고안은 열전모듈을 이용한 매트리스에 관한 것으로, 더욱 자세하게는 냉각과 가열이 모두 가능한 열전모듈을 이용하되 열전모듈의 방열판을 가열하는 가열수단을 구비하여 가열시 열전모듈 반대편에서 가열만큼의 열을 전달하여 주어야 하나 그러하지 못하여 그 효율이 극히 미미하여나 이에 충분한 열을 발생시켜 그 효율을 획기적으로 높일 수 있고 더불어 반대편에 급격히 열을 이전시키는 관계로 발생하는 급격한 온도차로 인하여 발생하는 결로현상으로 성애가 끼는 치명적인 현상을 개선할 수 있는 열전모듈을 이용한 매트리스에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a mattress using a thermoelectric module, and more particularly, using a thermoelectric module capable of both cooling and heating, and having a heating means for heating a heat sink of the thermoelectric module, thereby transferring heat as much as heat from the other side of the thermoelectric module. However, the efficiency is extremely small, but enough heat can be generated to increase the efficiency dramatically, and the condensation phenomenon caused by the dew condensation caused by the rapid temperature difference caused by the rapid transfer of heat to the other side is fatal. It relates to a mattress using a thermoelectric module that can improve the phenomenon.
일반적으로 매트리스는 온돌방이나 마루 위에서 잘 때 담요, 이불 또는 침대에 사용하는 침구류이며, 딱딱한 바닥에 대한 쿠션재 역할을 함과 동시에 바닥면의 온도에 영향이 없도록 하는 단열재의 역할도 한다.In general, mattresses are beddings used for blankets, duvets or beds when sleeping on the floor or on the floor. In addition, the mattress serves as a cushioning material for hard floors and also serves as an insulator that does not affect the temperature of the floor surface.
바닥면의 온도를 단열하는 것만으로는 쾌적한 수면환경 조성에 모자라기 때문에 매트리스에 냉각 또는 가열 기능을 부가하려는 많은 노력이 있어왔다.Insulating the temperature of the floor alone is not enough to create a comfortable sleeping environment, and many efforts have been made to add cooling or heating functions to the mattress.
이러한 노력의 하나로서,실용신안등록 제20-0378388호에서는 매트리스의 내부에 열매체가 채워진 순환관이 설치되고 순환관과 열전모듈 사이에 순환펌프가 연결된 것에 더하여 온도감지센서와 정역전환회로를 구비한 매트리스가 설명되어있다. 이러한 매트리스는 설정온도와 매트리스의 온도를 비교하여 설정온도보다 매트리스의 온도가 높은 경우에는 열전모듈에 냉각방향으로 전기를 흘려보내고, 설정온도보다 매트리스의 온도가 낮은 경우에는 열전모듈에 가열방향으로 전기를 흘려보냄으로써 언제가 쾌적한 수면환경을 유지하는 것이다.As one of these efforts, Utility Model Registration No. 20-0378388 has a thermal pipe filled with a heat medium inside the mattress, and a circulation pump is connected between the circulation pipe and the thermoelectric module. The mattress is described. When the mattress temperature is higher than the set temperature, the mattress sends electricity to the thermoelectric module in the cooling direction when the temperature of the mattress is higher than the set temperature, and when the temperature of the mattress is lower than the set temperature, the mattress is heated in the heating direction. By letting go, you will maintain a pleasant sleeping environment.
이때, 열전모듈은 열매체를 가열/냉각하는 작용면과 반대쪽의 반작용면을 포함하고, 작용면과 반작용면 사이의 온도차이가 작을수록 가열/냉각 효율이 높기 때문에 반작용면의 온도변화를 막아야하며, 따라서 반작용면에는 방열핀과 방열팬을 설치하여 대기와의 열전달을 향상시켰다. 하지만, 열전모듈로 매트리스를 가열하는 경우에 반작용면은 냉각이 일어나고 이러한 경우에 방열핀과 방열팬은 반작용면의 온도를 올리는 효과는 매우 적다는 문제가 있다. 나아가, 열전모듈의 가열작용이 계속될 경우 반작용면은 계속해서 냉각되고 결국 방열핀에 성에가 끼게 되고 열전모듈의 효율은 더욱 낮아지는 문제가 있었다.At this time, the thermoelectric module includes a reaction surface opposite to the working surface for heating / cooling the heat medium, and the smaller the temperature difference between the working surface and the reaction surface is, the higher the heating / cooling efficiency is, thus preventing the temperature change of the reaction surface. Therefore, the heat radiation fins and the fan was installed on the reaction surface to improve heat transfer to the atmosphere. However, when the mattress is heated by the thermoelectric module, the reaction surface is cooled, and in this case, the heat dissipation fin and the heat dissipation fan have a problem in that the effect of raising the temperature of the reaction surface is very small. Furthermore, when the heating action of the thermoelectric module is continued, the reaction surface is continuously cooled and eventually causes frost on the heat dissipation fins, thereby lowering the efficiency of the thermoelectric module.
본 고안은 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 고안된 것으로, 가열작용시에 열전모듈의 효율이 저하되는 것을 막고 그 효율을 극대화하고 급격한 열의 이전으로 인하여 반대편에 발생하는 전자제품에 치명적인 겹함인 결로현상으로 인한 성애를 방지하기 위하여, 열전모듈을 가열하는 가열수단을 포함하는 열전모듈을 이용한 매트리스를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention is designed to solve the above problems, to prevent the degradation of the efficiency of the thermoelectric module during the heating action, to maximize the efficiency of the condensation phenomenon which is fatal overlap in the electronic products generated on the other side due to the rapid transfer of heat In order to prevent the frost caused by, it is an object to provide a mattress using a thermoelectric module including a heating means for heating the thermoelectric module.
열매체가 채워진 가열싱크의 반작용면에 부착된(외부방열판에부착) 가열수단을 이용하여 가열싱크면으로 이전되는 열로 인하여 상대편의 급격한 온도하강으로인하여 결로현상으로 성애가 발생하는 것을 막고 가열싱크면으로 충분한 열을 전달하여 결로현상을 방지하고 가열의 효과를 증대시킨다The heat transfer to the heating sink surface by means of the heating means attached to the reaction surface of the heating sink filled with the heat medium (attached to the external heat sink) prevents the frost from being condensed due to the rapid temperature drop of the other side. It transfers enough heat to prevent condensation and increase heating effect.
본 고안의 열전모듈을 이용한 매트리스에 의하면, 열전모듈의 온도를 높이는 가열수단을 구비함으로써, 가열과 냉각 기능을 모두 갖춰 계절에 무관하게 사용할 수 있는 매트리스에 있어서, 가열 기능을 사용할 때도 작용면과 반작용면의 온도 차이를 줄임으로써 열전모듈의 효율을 크게 높일 수 있다. 또, 반작용면과 인접한 부위에서 성에가 발생하거나 수증기가 응결되는 현상을 방지하는 효과가 있다.According to the mattress using the thermoelectric module of the present invention, by providing a heating means for raising the temperature of the thermoelectric module, in the mattress which can be used regardless of the season having both heating and cooling functions, even when the heating function is used to react with the working surface By reducing the surface temperature difference, the efficiency of the thermoelectric module can be greatly increased. In addition, there is an effect of preventing the occurrence of frost or water condensation in the area adjacent to the reaction surface.

마이크로프로세서(214)는 사용자가 키패드(211)를 통하여 입력한 설정 온도와 온도감지센서(140)를 통하여 측정된 매트리스의 온도를 비교하며, 그 결과에 따라 정역전환회로(213)를 제어하여 열전모듈(230)이 열매체를 가열 또는 냉각한다. 그 결과 매트리스의 온도는 설정온도와 가까워진다.The microprocessor 214 compares the set temperature input by the user through the keypad 211 with the temperature of the mattress measured by the temperature sensor 140, and controls the reverse switching circuit 213 according to the result. Module 230 heats or cools the heat medium. As a result, the temperature of the mattress is close to the set temperature.
열전모듈(230)이 열매체를 냉각하는 경우에는 작용면(231)은 온도가 내려가고 반작용면(232)은 온도가 올라간다. 이때, 작용면(231)은 열매체로부터 열을 흡수하여 온도의 변화가 적지만 반작용면(232)은 계속 온도가 올라가는데, 작용면(231)과 반작용면(232)의 온도차이가 커지면 열전모듈(230)의 효율이 낮아지기 때문에 바람직하지 못하므로, 반작용면(232)에 부착된 외부방열판(233)과 방열팬(234)을 통하여 열을 방출한다.When the thermoelectric module 230 cools the heat medium, the working surface 231 is lowered in temperature, and the reaction surface 232 is raised in temperature. At this time, the working surface 231 absorbs heat from the heat medium so that the change in temperature is small, but the reaction surface 232 continues to rise in temperature. When the temperature difference between the working surface 231 and the reaction surface 232 becomes large, the thermoelectric module Since it is not preferable because the efficiency of the 230 is lowered, the heat is discharged through the external heat dissipation plate 233 and the heat dissipation fan 234 attached to the reaction surface 232.
반대로 열전모듈(230)이 열매체를 가열하는 경우에는 작용면(231)은 온도가 올라가고 반작용면(232)은 온도가 내려간다. 이때, 작용면(231)은 열매체로 열을 방출하여 온도의 변화가 적지만 반작용면(232)은 계속 온도가 내려간다. 열전모듈(230)의 효율을 높이기 위하여, 반작용면(232)에 부착된 히터(235)가 작동하여 반작용면(232)의 온도를 높여 작용면(231)과의 온도차이를 줄인다. 이에 따라 작용면(231)과 반작용면(232)의 온도차가 크기 않아, 열전모듈(230)의 효율은 높아진다.On the contrary, when the thermoelectric module 230 heats the heating medium, the working surface 231 increases in temperature, and the reaction surface 232 decreases in temperature. At this time, the working surface 231 releases heat to the heat medium so that the change in temperature is small, but the reaction surface 232 continues to decrease in temperature. In order to increase the efficiency of the thermoelectric module 230, the heater 235 attached to the reaction surface 232 is operated to increase the temperature of the reaction surface 232 to reduce the temperature difference with the working surface 231. Accordingly, the temperature difference between the working surface 231 and the reaction surface 232 is not large, and the efficiency of the thermoelectric module 230 is increased.
