1 is a view schematically showing an embodiment of a hot water supply device for a hot water mat according to the present invention. 1, an embodiment of a hot water supply device for a hot water mat according to the present invention includes an ion heater 10, a circulation pipe 20, a circulation pump 21, and a power supply device 30. The circulation pipe 20 of the hot water supply device for hot water mat is connected to the outlet 4 and the inlet 3 of the flow path 2, . The circulating water flowing into the circulation pipe 20 through the outlet 4 of the flow path 2 is heated by the hot water supply device for hot water mat and then supplied again through the inlet 3 of the flow path 2.

The circulation pipe 20 is provided with an ion heater 10 and a circulation pump 21. The circulation pump (21) serves to circulate the circulating water in the circulation pipe (20). The circulation pump 21 discharges the circulating water flowing into the circulation pump 21 at a constant pressure.

FIG. 2 is a view schematically showing the ion heater shown in FIG. 1. FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the ion heater 10 includes a housing 11 and a pair of electrodes 17. The housing (11) is in the form of a cylinder of hollow (12). At both ends of the hollow 12 of the housing 11, there are formed an inlet 13 through which circulating water flows and an outlet 14 through which heated circulating water is heated. The inlet 13 and the outlet 14 are connected to the circulation pipe 20, respectively.

A circulating water injection pipe 15 communicating with the hollow 12 of the housing 11 is formed between the inlet 13 and the outlet 14 of the housing 11. The circulating water injection pipe 15 protrudes radially outward of the housing 11. The circulating water injection pipe 15 extends upward. A water level sensor 16 for measuring the height of the circulating water in the circulating water injection pipe 15 is installed in the circulating water injection pipe 15. The water level sensor 16 may be an ultrasonic sensor or the like. If the circulating water evaporates and the amount of the circulating water is insufficient, it is displayed on the display unit (not shown) of the hot water supply device for hot water mat so that the user can supplement the circulating water. The circulating water injection pipe 15 is opened only when the circulating water is replenished, and is normally closed with a lid or the like.

A pair of electrodes 17 are provided inside the housing 11 of the ion heater 10. The pair of electrodes 17 are connected to a power supply 30 capable of applying AC power to the pair of electrodes 17. When AC power is applied to the pair of electrodes 17, ions contained in the circulating water move between the pair of electrodes 17 to generate heat. When the housing 11 of the ion heater 10 is made of metal, a portion of the pair of electrodes 17 that contacts the circulation pipe 20 is covered with an insulator to electrically isolate the circulation pipe 20 from the electrode 17 .

The circulation pipe 20 may be provided with a temperature sensor 23 for measuring the temperature of the circulating water and a flow rate sensor 25 for sensing the flow of the circulating water. The electric signal output from the temperature sensor 23 and the flow rate sensor 25 is transmitted to the controller 40. [

The power supply 30 is electrically connected to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the power supply 30 to regulate the power applied to the pair of electrodes 17 to adjust the temperature of the circulating water. The controller 40 can control the power supply device 30 in accordance with the temperature value set by the user and the temperature value measured at the temperature sensor 23 provided in the circulation pipe 20.

Hereinafter, the operation of the hot water supply device for hot water mat will be described.

When the power supply switch of the hot water supply device for hot water mat is turned on, the controller 40 operates the circulation pump 21. Circulation water flows along the circulation pipe 20 by the operation of the circulation pump 21. [

The flow rate sensor 25 senses the flow of hot water and transmits a signal to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the power supply 30 to apply AC power to the pair of electrodes 17 . When AC power is applied to the circulating water in the housing 11 of the ion heater 10, current flows while ions in the circulating water move between the pair of electrodes 17. In this process, the circulation water is heated by the string heat. The heated circulating water is supplied to the hot water mat 1 through the outlet 14 of the ion heater 10, the circulation pipe 20, and the inlet 3 of the flow path 2 of the hot water mat 1. The temperature of the circulating water is measured by a temperature sensor 23 provided in the circulation pipe 20. The measured temperature value is communicated to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the power supply 30 by comparing the measured temperature value with the temperature value set by the user. When the measured temperature value reaches a temperature value set by the user, the controller 40 stops the operation of the power supply 30. At this time, the circulation pump 21 continues to operate. When the measured temperature value falls below a predetermined temperature, the controller 40 operates the power supply 30 again.

When a part of the circulating water evaporates and becomes insufficient, the water level sensor 16 senses this and sends a signal to the controller 40. The controller 40 informs the user through the display unit connected to the controller 40. When the circulation water is supplemented, the hot water supply device for hot water mat continues to operate by the above-described method. If the circulation number is not supplemented, the controller 40 stops operating the hot water supply device for hot water mat if the water level falls below a predetermined threshold value.

The controller 40 measures the current flowing through the pair of electrodes 17 so that the flow rate of the circulating water flowing in the ion heater 10 is reduced and the current flowing through the pair of electrodes 17 is pre- Stop the operation of the hot water supply for the hot water mat if it falls below the termination threshold.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims. It is possible to modify and change the shape. Accordingly, such improvements and modifications will fall within the scope of the present invention as long as they are obvious to those skilled in the art.
