In addition, the temperature sensor may sense any one of a user's body temperature, a room temperature, and a bedding temperature.

The controller may further include a controller coupled to the temperature sensor and the heating unit.

The controller may operate the heating unit if the sensed temperature is lower than the set temperature, and stop the heating unit if the sensed temperature is higher than the set temperature.

The control of the control unit may be controlled by a wired method or a wireless method.

In addition, the wireless scheme may be any one selected from Bluetooth, infrared communication, RF, and Wi-Fi.

According to the heating mat according to the embodiment of the present invention, a proper sleeping environment can be provided by supplying appropriate heat according to a user's body temperature or ambient temperature when sleeping.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a heating mat according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG.
2 is a block diagram of a thermal mat according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components throughout the drawings. In addition, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but it is needless to say that the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.

First, a configuration of a thermal mat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a general view of a thermal mat according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a thermal mat according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2, a heating mat according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 10, a temperature sensor 20, a control unit 30 for supplying heat to the heating unit 40, And a heating unit 40 for directly transmitting heat to the user.

Specifically, the main body 10 may be a mat, a mat, a cover, a sheet, or the like, which is placed on a bed in a room or on a floor of an indoor room. The shape of the main body 10 may be various shapes, but it is preferable that the main body 10 has a square shape for convenience of placing on a generally rectangular bed.

The temperature sensor 20 may be provided on the inside or outside of the main body 10. The temperature sensor 20 may be a separately manufactured product. Preferably, the temperature sensor 20 is provided on the main body 10. The temperature sensor 20 senses the room temperature of the area where the heating mat is placed when the user sleeps, or detects the bedding temperature or the like used by the user when sleeping. The temperature sensor 20 may sense the body temperature of the sleeping user.

The control unit 30 is connected to the temperature sensor 20 and the heat generating unit 40. And the heat is supplied to the heat generating unit 40 under the control of the control unit 30. [ The control unit 30 operates the heat generating unit 40 when the sensed temperature is lower than the set temperature and stops the operation of the heat generating unit when the sensed temperature is higher than the set temperature. For example, if the temperature of the heat generating section 40 is set, the temperature of the heat generating section 40 gradually increases toward the set temperature. At this time, the heat amount is supplied to the heat generating unit 40 under the control of the control unit 30. [ The amount of supplied heat is gradually supplied to the heat generating section 40 under the control of the control section 30 and then the amount of supplied heat is gradually decreased at a specific temperature before reaching the set temperature of the heat generating section 40, So that the amount of supplied heat becomes zero at the time of arrival.

If the amount of heat supplied to the heat generating unit 40 is constantly supplied to the heat generating unit 40 under the control of the control unit 30 and the amount of heat supplied to the heat generating unit 40 suddenly becomes zero at the set temperature of the heat generating unit 40, ) May become excessively higher than the set temperature. However, if the amount of supplied heat is gradually reduced at a specific temperature before reaching the set temperature of the heat generating part 40 and the amount of supplied heat is set to 0 when the set temperature of the heat generating part 40 is reached, It is possible to prevent the temperature of the heat generating portion 40 from becoming excessively higher than the set temperature. At this time, it is preferable that the specific temperature at which the amount of heat supplied is reduced is -5 degrees of the set temperature. That is, when the set temperature is 35 degrees, it is 30 degrees. The set temperature may be between -5 degrees and -10 degrees.

The heat generating unit 40 transfers heat directly to the user. The heating unit 40 is connected to the control unit 30. The heat generating part 40 may be installed in a zigzag shape on the upper part of the main body 10 as shown in FIG. It is preferable that the heat generating portion 40 has a sawtooth shape rather than a straight shape. When the heat generating part 40 has a sawtooth shape, the heat generating part 40 can be installed in the main body 10 as densely as possible, compared with a case of a straight shape. The heat generating part 40 may have various shapes such as a plate shape.

The control of the control unit 30 can be controlled by a wired method or a wireless method. At this time, the wireless method may be Bluetooth, infrared ray communication (IR), radio frequency (RF), Wi-Fi, or the like.

Hereinafter, the operation of the thermal mat according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the temperature of the heating mat is set in a state where power is first applied, and then the user lies on the main body 10 to take a sleeping surface. The temperature sensor 20 senses the room temperature or the bedding temperature while the user takes sleep.

For example, after setting the set temperature of the heating mat at 35 degrees, the temperature sensor 20 measures the room temperature or the bedding temperature. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 20 is lower than the set temperature, the amount of heat is supplied to the heat generating unit 40 under the control of the control unit 30 until the set temperature is reached. When the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor 20 is equal to the set temperature, the amount of heat is not supplied to the heat generating unit 40 under the control of the control unit 30. [ The set temperature control of the heating mat is performed by the control unit.

On the other hand, the amount of heat supplied is gradually reduced by control of the control unit 30 at 30 degrees of -5 degrees before reaching the set temperature of the heating mat, and when the set temperature is 35 degrees, do. For example, under the control of the control unit 30, the amount of heat supplied before 30 degrees is 100 W, 80 W at 31 degrees, 60 W at 32 degrees, 40 W at 33 degrees, 20 w at 34 degrees, .

As described above, the heating mat according to the embodiment of the present invention measures the room temperature or the bedding temperature with a temperature sensor installed in the main body, and when the temperature is below the set temperature of the heating mat according to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, , When the set temperature of the heating mat is reached, the supply of heat is stopped by the control of the control unit to maintain a temperature suitable for the user's sleeping face, thereby providing a pleasant sleeping environment.

The heat mats according to the embodiments of the present invention can be conveniently used because they can be controlled by wire or wireless. For example, the heating mat may be operated beforehand in conjunction with the smartphone, or the heating mat may be operated in accordance with the return time.
