It can contain. In this case, the inner guide wall 31 may be formed with a receiving hole (31a) for receiving the driving means 45 and the windshield (44). And, the outer guide wall 32 may be formed by protruding toward the inner flow path (C1) of the locking jaw (32a) that the windshield 44 is applied.

8A to 8C schematically describe the operation of the door unit 40.

8A, the driving means 45 and the windscreen 44 may be accommodated and arranged in the receiving hole 31a of the inner guide wall 31, so that the pair of inner passages C1 are opened. You are placed in a state. The driving means 45 includes a driving motor and can automatically drive the windshield 44 by remote control.

8B and 8C, the windscreen 44 is rotated by the driving means 45 to selectively close the left or right internal flow path C1. In this case, warm air can be supplied only through the open internal flow path C1. In addition, depending on the embodiment, the amount of warm air supplied to the left and right inner flow paths C1 may be differently controlled by partially opening the left or right inner flow paths C1 without completely closing the flow path.

9 and 10 schematically show another modification of the door part 40. 9 is a plan view schematically showing a mattress including a door unit according to another modification, and FIG. 10 is a schematic view showing the door unit of FIG. 9.

Referring to the drawings, the door unit 40 is disposed on the inner guide wall 31, the windshield 46 for selectively opening and closing the inner flow path C1 through rotation, and driving means for rotating the windshield 46 It may include.

As in the embodiment of Figure 6, the inner guide wall 31 may be formed with a receiving hole (31a) for accommodating the windshield (46). The windshield 46 may be accommodated and disposed in the receiving hole 31a of the inner guide wall 31, and accordingly, the pair of inner passages C1 are placed in an open state.

The driving means 47 may be disposed under the warm air fan 20 and extends to one side in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 to protrude to the outside and the driving rod 47a and the driving rod 47a and the windscreen 46 It may include a gear member (47b) for connecting. A portion 47c of the driving rod 47a protruding to the outside of the main body 10 may be provided with a handle 47c that the user can grip.

The user can rotate the driving rod 47a in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction while holding the handle 47c, and the driving rod 47a through the gear member 47b is rotated by the rotation of the driving rod 47a. Windshield 46 connected to) may selectively close the left inner flow path C1 or the right inner flow path C1.

The door unit 40 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is different from the door unit 40 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 above in that it is driven manually rather than automatically. Of course, it is also possible to automatically rotate the windshield 46 by connecting the drive rod 47a with the drive motor.

Referring to the drawings, the mattress 3 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a control unit 50. The control unit 50 may control the operation of the warm air fan 20 and the door unit 40.

The control unit 50 includes a display 51, a controller 52, and the like, and may be provided by being mounted on the housing 23 of the warm air fan 20.
